A. c. PROBERT
! GOES TO PRISON
Found Guilty of Embezzle-
ment in Mexico
Given a Tel m of From Six to
Eight Years. Served Time
in Wisconsin.

A. C. Probert, formerly banker
OF this city, is in the tolls of the law
again, this time for having embezzled
the sum of $500 from Roy A. Clifford
while president of the State Savings
Bank at Toas, New Mexico. Pro-
bert has been given trial and con-
victed of the charge and was this
week sentenced to from six to eight
years in the state penitentiary.
The bank of which Probert was
president was closed over a year ago
following an investigation by the state
bank examiner.
Since serving a term in the state
prison at Waupun in this state for
embezzlement Probert has had a
rather checkered career. On numer-
GUS occasions he has been arrested
but this is the first time that he has
been compelled to serve a term.
By his smooth methods Probert has
a way of winning the confidence OF
the people and then he usually trims
them. His long suit is i'm starting
banks, all of which usually failed
after operating for short time.

May Stop Them

The police Of the town of Bay
field have adopted a new method
for stopping small boys from
soaping windows on Hallow-
E'en. Last Thursday evening a
body of boys started in covering
the windows of the store build
ings and residences with soap
and the following morning they
were rounded up and compelled
TO go around and wash the
windows. 1t did not take very
long for the boys to soap the
windows but it did take several
days to wash them again, which
spoiled all the fun and it is not
likely that many of them will be
caught at the trick again.
Washburn police might do well
to adopt the same measures in
order TO put stop to the prac-
tice.
