| Booze brings out what man con-
ceals when he Is SOBER" said E. B.
Rivers. manager OF the Minnesota
Lighting company. summing up the
alleged misconduct OF Sam X. Chall-
man, his former salesman and agent.
for whom he had a warrant issued
today on the charge OF grand larceny.
! According to Rivers. Challman last
Friday night went to Rapidan 10 col
lect $500 from Lewis c. Yeger, but
failed TO report about the collection.
and though he was IN the city last
, evening. made away early this morn
ing. 5000 and all. so II Is alleged.
Rivers heard from the people with
whom Challman was boarding that
he told them that he was going TO
get up early I'm the morning to 60 to
Medo. Rivers knew that there was
no early train for Mcdo. and the
mere fact that Challman said he was
going there. and got up. at four
o'clock in the morning. made him
! suspicious. Later In the day. when
he called no Medo and could find no
trace of Challman having been there.
he was convinced that Challman
made away with the money. so II Is
asserted by Rivers.
Rivers stated to The Free Press
today that Challman had been helped
out OF trouble by him on many occa-
sions before. Lately. Challman had
passed worthless check. for s25.
which Rivers made good. Rivers
said Challman owed him about $685..
besides the $500 he had collected.
