M. On March 1Sth last a man giving his name as Thos. F. Sibley, appear- ed at the First National Bank in Se- dalia and presented a bill of lading of 11 car loads of cattle, consigned to Woods Bros., Chicago. The Bank had received instructions from the Live Stock Nat'l Bank of Chicago, Woods Bros., bankers, to pay Sibley $5,200, hence he got the money. The cattle were never received in Chicago, consequently a vigorous search has been kept up since for Sibley’s whereabouts. Last week the detectives heard ef one J. L. Dunn, operating at Atlanta, Ga., and J. J. Kinney was sent there to in- vestigate, but before he reached At- lanta Dunn had been arrested for orgery by authorities at that place. He had been conducting business on asimilar plan to the Sedalia cattie deal, only it was cotton he was con- signing to Memphis dealers He was identified as Sibley und a requi- sition was applied for to bring him back to Sedalia. Dropped Dead. under sad promise took advantage of her and then re- fused to comply with his promise. The petition also alleges that on the 29th day of April, 1891, the defend- ant, by false statements aud misrep- resentation, peisurded the plaintiff to sign the following receipt: Aprit 29th, 1891, Butter, Mo. This is to certify that I, the under- signed, do hereby release P. W. Meredith from all claims against said P. W. Meredith, for the sum of $5.09 I promise to pay over and al- so cost of any medical aid incurring any wrong caused by said P W. Meredith, Siasep SBerre Dreams. “CP. W. Merepita. She claims as soon as she found out that the receipt was a fraud she went to Meredith and demanded that he comply with his promise, but he refused. Consequently she brings this suit aud prays that the said fraudulent agreement be set at naught and that she be permitted to prosecute her suit for breach of defendant's contract. Mr. Meredith was formerly secre- tary of the county alliance and is at present secretary of the Butler Week- ly Union printing compauy, and, so far as we know has heretofore borne agovdname. His parents live in Mound township and it 1s said are clever, respectab!e people.
