Then. eccording to thc story, he bor-
rowed enough money from a relative or
friend TO 20 $3.50 with another man in
the purchase Of the necessary props

And now, Colonel Wilder was told,
che gets up when the notion sclzes him,

After lying in wait fer the owners Of
the plant at the Streer farm all Friday
night and until past noon Saturday,
