TRUSTED EMPLOYE Of
EXPRESS COMP ANY IS
GIVEN JAIL SENTENCE

L. ID. Fueston, for the past three
years a driver of one of the American
Railways Express Company's Ardn'ore
wagons was placed under arrest tins
week and arralgned before Judge WIN
frey OF the County Court. he entered
a plea of guilty to larceny from the
express company and was sentenced 70
serve 30 days in Jail and to pay the
cost of the lega, proceedings against
him.
According to a statement Of Guy T.
McNegh local agent Of the express
company, Fueston was rot the only
one implicated in the THEFT, but ms
evidence was lacking Efficient to oh
tain conviction in court no action
was taken against any others.
However two other employees were
discharged from the company's service
Mr.. McNeigh stated that for some
time he had suspected that all was not
as il should be in some depdI tinentS
of the local office. He began quiet
investigation on his own account, ana
says he soon found where Fueston, VINO
drove the Main Street delivery wagon
the most responsible one of the entire
lot, had disposed of two Ford tire cas-
ings to q local accessory dealer for $40
also where other castings had been dis
posed of for sums. far below the!I
actual value
After obtaining this information the
manager discharged Fueston and sent
for special agent Shoemaker who came
here and together with the local agent
conducted Il more thorough investiga
ton.
Fueston when confronted by evidence
confessed to the agent and Implicated
others in the office. He claimed tha'
one man in particular concocted the
whole scheme and received half of the
proceeds of each sale.
This man denied all knowledge OF
such transaction. but in the face oil
Fueston's sworn statement he was dis
charged as stated above.
In addition to his Jail sentence, Judge
Winfrey decreed that Fueston REIN
burse the express company in the sum
of 5000 to be applied by them to losses
sustained as same may develop when
the extent of all defalcations are as
certained,
The purchasers of tires We're calico
upon to pay the differences between
the price they paid for them and the
sums the bills of lading called Tor
which they did gladly.
Mr. McVeigh said that he did no'
believe that the purchasers of tires
we're aware of the fact that they hau
been stolen. but suggested that it might
be well in the future for them to make
an investigation before purchasing
such expensive accessories these times
when offered at figures whiGl they
know to be far below their cash value
Fueston has been employed by the
express company for the past three
years and enjoyed the entire confidence
of the management. For that reason
the company was inclined to be very
lenient with him.
Mr.. McVeigh has had years of eX
perience in the express business ana
saws he hopes to maintain state oi
high efficiency in the Ardmore Office

ACTORS STRIKE GIVES NEW
YORK UNDERSTUDIES CHANCE

New York, Aug. S.--Understudies who
hardly hoped TO appear in first-night
performance or even to be thrust into
the spotlight Of a new play during its
summer debut suddenly became the OBJ
jects Of much attention from Broadway
theater managers today. In several or
the IL theaters where the stages We're
darkened last night by a strike called
by the Actors Equity Association,
under-stars will appear with hastily ar
ranged casts for tonight's performances,
if the plans of the managers mature.
The strike is confined so far to per.
formers of the legitimate stage in this
city alone. AT the IL houses where
the strike was called more than 900 per
formers were prevented from appearing.
Not ali the players struck Of themselves,
but We're kept from performing by the
closing of their theaters.

immediate needs of the growing crops
over the western and southwestern por
tions of Oklahoma, but the drought is
reported to be growing decidedly serious
i'm the eastern sections of the state
where crops need rain badly and are
reported as having already suffered
serious injury.
