From Saturday, Dairy.

He was a smooth talker. He wanted
a young man to work for him. He had
had much trouble with those whom
he had hired.
A stranger appeared last Tuesday
noon at the Office of the employment
bureau In the Building and Loan block
on South Front street. He made a
good impression on II. A. Fogelsong
of Clark street, who thought he saw
an excellent opportunity for his son.
Glen, aged seventeen.
The stranger gave the name OF j.
Wright and said he represented the
Kansas City Produce company. He
wanted a young man to take charge OF
shipments of potatoes, riding with
them on the freight cars. and taking
care OF the heating apparatus, by
which the potatoes were kept from
freezing
Wright's tale was something OF
tale OF woe. He said young men whom
he had hired had given him the slip
on their arrival at Kansas City and
had stolen lanterns and other prop
erty belonging TO the company. He
asked SHldu utpOsh W bNoiai'NN

The result of the conversation was
that young Fogelsong that very AFT

The two went in IT," evening to a

Fogelsong that n shipment of potatoes
would start at midnight from Mime
apolis 10 the quarters of the firm in
Kansas City. and ut midnight they
would be down i'm the railroad yards,
where the young man would be started

They had their supper together.
