WORKS GAME LIKE WALLNGFORD
Bogus Agent Is Patron OF the Black
hawk and Lives in Style-Cashed
Several Worthless Checks.

The whereabouts of P. H. Wood Of
Davenport, who has been operating in
this vicinity as an agent of the Cole
Motor company, is matter of interest
to several tri-city men. To Wood they
are said to have paid about $500 as
deposits on cars which they were told
would be delivered this spring. But
the cars have not been delivered, Mr..
Wood is missing, also the $4,000 Po-
lice of Davenport have been unable to
! find any trace of the man.
Wood conducted his operations in a
regular "Get-Rich-Q Quick Wallingford'
manner. He had rooms at the Black
hawk, which may have done much to
establish his good standing in the tri-
cities. To those with whom he had
dealings he impaired the information
that he was an employee of the Cole
concern. But the Cole concern re-
| fuses to accept the honor.
Monday suit was filed agains,
Wood, Charles Warner and Julius
Ochs, by the Muscatine Motor COM
pany Monday Wood left for other
parts. To people to whom he owed
| money the man gave the information
that he had $1,000 coming from the
Cole company.
| In its suit the Muscatine company
seeks to recover two automobiles. The
cars were turned over to Wood with
the understanding that he was to re-
place them with new Cole cars. AS il
was, however, Wood traded the ma
chimes to Warner and Ochs for three
second hand cars and several hundred
dollars. At this stage of the game the
mans connections with the Cole COM
pany began to be questioned. The
Cole concern is said to have refused
to make good to the Muscatine firm in
the transaction, declaring that Wood
was not in its employ.
Employees Left In Lurch.
| Others to suffer at the hands OF
Wood are several employees in his office
in the Putnam building, workmen il
garage at the St. James hotel, over
which he, Wood, had charge, and the
! BlackhaWk hotel. The hotel is said
to be protected, however. by S10C
which Wood deposited for space in the
auto salon, and some of his personal
effects.

/ last few days Wood is said to have
cashed several checks which were re-
turned by the banks as worthless.
1t is said that a warrant for the ar
rest of Wood will be secured by q
number of men who paid him money
on the future delivery of a car.
