SUSPICIOUS TRANSACTIONS | They Secured His Trade ~Doenls that Will e Likoly to Onuse Him Tronble. J. F. Rittig, who stopped barbering some time ago to go into the commission business, has been putting some (ancy touches on his work that promises to make him trouble, or atleast so it appears from de- velopments that have been made within the st twenty-four hours, Last fall he went t Greeley, Colo. il while there had a talk | with the proprietor of ono of the hotels of that place with reference to buying some Hour there to sell at wholesale here. The upshot of the conversation was that when Rittig left, the hotel man agreed to look arcund and see what the prospects were for carrying on a paying business, Lateron he wrote Rittig here, telling him what the prices of flour were there on carload lots. Rittig, through the hotel man, gave an order for a carload to the Mode ouring Mill company at Greeley, the price of which was £360. somoe Cannot Coltect Their Money. ver since that time the representatives of the company have been casting about for some way of getting their money for tho ear- load. 'Their sight draft for the sum of £360 wis sent to the First National bank of this city. Rittig had to take up the draft before tie could get possession of the bill of lading. He accordingly gave a check for the amount, and in that way managed to get the bill of lading. He immediately sold out the four at considerably less than the wholesale rates and wrote to the house saying that he had ordercd winter wheat, but this was spring | wheat. He was not satisfied and would not take it, He took it, nevertheless, and let the company whistle for their money. t Monday another carload of flour came, this time from a mill in Beemer, Neb. He immediately sold 300 sacks to a baker on Lower Bre 50 per 100. As mer- of regular wholesalers this_ amount, the Lower ltly thought that he had t snap, and lostno time in putting it out of sight. ' Judge B. E. Ayles- | worth, who had been instructed by the firm n Greeley of which Rittig had purchased the first lot to keep might come into Rittig th ssion which could get hold of, immediately levied a of attachment on the flour and | served the baker with notice of garnishment | on the money which he was to pay Rittig. During the afternoon the Cattle- s bank came to the rescue and notified worth that they held two mortgages the flour to sccure two notes, one for £133 and the other for £7. Aylesworth had to let go for the present, and the ownership of the flour will be a question of some doubt until the case is fiually disposed of in the superior court. S 0! Just & Rumor. There is a rumor afloat to the effect that | both W. H. Knepher and W. L. Kerney, the | cashicr of the bank, are interested with Rit- tig in his business, but they both deny the assertion. Knepher s the only thing he had to do with Rittig to recommend him | to the Model mill people at Greeley and tell them that he would vouch for his honesty. Kerney claims that he is only interested in Rittig’ as a good friend, hic having known him for a number of years'in another town, One of the representatives of the Greeley mill is expected here today to look after tho interests of his concern.. The mull people thought seriously of bringing the matter be- fore the grand jury at its last session, but finally decided not to do so until they hads| given Rittig a further opportunity to fix up their claim. If the trouble is not settled there is an excellent prospect that they will make a strong effory to have him sent acrags the state on a criminal charge.

She would not even agree to lot Miller go by the board, although 1t was clearly showa by the evi- dence that was brought in that he had ex erted an influence over her that was, to suy the least, rather questionable The neighbors and rricnds of the We s family are almost unanimous in denouncing the actions of Miller.
