Council Bluffs, May 20.-George
Kuntz, Of Worthington, Mimi, is on
his way home from Council Bluffs,
$4,000 better off than he would have
been by Saturday, and a gang OF wire
tappers at Excelsior Springs Mo-
probably is wondering what went
wrong with their steer as a result
of some rapid and effective work on
the part Of George H. Nicoll, local
manager of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company. and the police de-
pa rtment.
Nicoll received a tip from: Dentson
pers was operating in the neighbor-
hood and that Kuntz of Worthington
had been steered against fake horse

prominence by reason Of the activity
and skill of John C. Mabray and his

They found that Kuntz had placed
his money in the Denison bank and
then came to Council Bluffs before he
telegraphed that he was on the way to
Excelsior Springs. They traced him
to the Grand Hotel and later found
him. just before he was to take the

listened to the tales of what happened
to various Of the Mabray Mikes and
he decided that he would be- better off

The Lontz supporters frankly de-

death knell of Finly H. Gray's politi-
cal career. They say Lontz will de.

John NJ. Lontz was born at Hagers.
town, Ind, April S, 1862. For two
years he was a teacher in the Jeffer-
son township schools. Then he read
law at Hagerstown for three years and
practiced his profession for a short
time Under the Cleveland admins
tration he was a special pension ex-
aminer. He was elected county audi
tor in 1890 and served in that Office
from 1891 to 1895. In 1904 he became
identified with the F. & N. Lawn
Mower company, then a small and I'M
successful concern. This company to-
day, however. through his business
sagacity is one of the largest manu-
featuring concerns of its kind in the
country.
