STARK BETRAYED
BY GIRL FRIEND
T. Kyme1 Is Arrested in Chi.
cago and Held for Rock
Island Police.
PRESENTED BAD CHECK
Tried to Pass 1t on Former Ac.
quaintance Who Phoned Here
to Find Ii 1t Was Good.

T. Kymel Stark, exponent of the
care free and blithesome existence,
has for the nonce ceased his futter-
ing gyrations around the glare of the
white lights on the Rialto, and is now
seeing Chicago through the grated
bars. Caught up in an effort to pass
another bum check and lured to cap
ture through the wiles of a second
Delilah, he Is now awaiting the ar
rival of the local police to bring him
back to this city, which will probably
be within a few days.
Stark, it will be remembered, was
the master brain of the Rock Island
Southern Guide company and when
all the advertising contracts were
closed he collected a considerable
portion of the money in advance and
beat 1t for the tall uncut, leaving be-
ties. cigaret stubs and unpaid bills.
TRIED OLD GAME.
Stark was caught New Years night
through the agency of Charles Car
ter, vaudeville performer who was
playing at the Empire when Stark was
In this city. The two met at a cafe
in Chicago on the above mentioned
night and the youthful promoter
asked Carter il he would cash check
for him. Carter hesitated for few
moments and Stark in the meanwhile
disappeared. Becoming suspicious,
Carter got Manager Carl Mueller of
the New Harper on the long distance
phone and asked him IL Stark's
checks were o. K, to which he re-
ceived very negative NO"
Carter then got busy and called up
a lady friend of the gay young
spender, who induced Stark to meet
her at well known cafe, where the
bluecoats took "Wallingford" into GUS
tody.

The primary election passed off
very quietly, many not going to the
polling places at all. There seemed
to be very little interest manifested
and as the farmers are busy, but a
very small vote was cast. We may
not get the vote in time to show it
in this issue as it seems very hard to
hear from some OF the precincts.

en- bushels a minute right along which

crop will run close to twenty-five

It could he repeated on a mu' h

1t is an everyday occurrence to

the public mind of such unnatural
and perm cious life.
There was time when the
wholesome teachings OF our mothers
had an influence, when the home
