For reference he gave Mr. Wilson, and suid also that he was printer from Winfleld and had been working several days In the Eagle job office. Mr. Roys gave htm the wheel and In an hour he was bnci; and paid for Its use. Yesterday afternoon the same young man came to Mr.

Roys again, this tirr.o with another, who he said was a friend by the name of John Schmedt, also of Winfleld, and giving Mr, Wilson and the Eagle as reference, rented wheels for an hour and rode away. They may be riding yet, for unlike the cat, never came back. To-day Mr, Roys became convinced that it whs nor or dinary lark or even a spree, but a plain case of steal. Though there are sev eral Thomas Wilsons in the city, there appears to be no such man employed by the Santa Fc, and the latter know nothing of Cloonan. The Englo like wise never heard of Cloonan, and no such person has worked there lately" Mr.
