SIN A BAD INVESTMENT.
Story from Real Life That Points a
Decided IMoial.
from the Senile I'ot Intelligence.
After a chase extending across the
continent and Into the wilds of Alaska,
occuplng a period of more than three
eais, A. T Scott, a fugitive from
Justice and ajlleged embezzler, w.ib ves
terday captured In this city and given
Into the hands of the persons whose
peislstenre was finally rewarded. Scott
Is wanted at Dubuque. Iowa, for em
bezllng a large sum of money fiom
the Great Western railway.
The clrcumntances surrounding
Scott's dow nfall border upon the sensa
tional He Us a member of a promin
ent and wealthy family In Dubuque,
wheie his father conducts a large
mercantile establishment. Scott, who Is
40 ;, ears old, seemed a position as book
keeper for the ("treat Western railway,
and all went well until he met and be
came infatuated with handsome Angle
Motsch, a biunette about 22 yars of
age. It vvas a merry, fast life he led,
which soon made seilous Inroads upon
his compaiatlvely modest Income. His
salary proved Inadequate to the de-
manna on nis purse, and ne ciiti as
many others have done. Finally the
piv for striking a trial balance came.
His accounts were In a tangle, nnd in
desperation he (led, taking with him
Ml-s Angl Motsch.
The dlsappeaiance of Scott nnd Miss
Motsch from Dubuque, where both
families weie highly Influential, caused
a sensation Officials of the Great
Western had caused his accounts to
be experted with the icsult that a
wanant charging the bookkeeper with
embezzlement of n considerable sum
of money was sworn out. The case
was taken In chaige by the American
Bonding and Trust compiny. which
concein vvas Scott's surety, and the
eha.se began Plnkcrton detectives
seaiched all the eastern cities, but no
trace of the missing couple was found
rimlly the man was located In this
cltv, but owing to lack of convincing
pioofs of identity, he vvas not arrested
lor a time. This was in June. 1SD8 A
detective was kept on Scott's trail
ponding the arrival of a man who could
make the Identification positive. One
day Scott detected the shadow er and
made hasty preparation to take tho
train. His arrest followed Immediately
but owing to the delay in communi
cating the fact Scott was able to
obtain his liberty before a. pioperly
certified warrant could he sent heic.
He Immediately disappeared, but Intent
upon making an example for othcis,
the bonding company Instiucted Its
agents to continue tho seaich, which
ended jesteidny nfter moie than thiee
cats' constant seaich on tho pa-rt of
tho victimized concern.
Scott oavs that nftci he left Dubuque
tho voung woman lemnlncd with him
until his funds had become exhausted,
when sho deseited him for all time. He
went to Alaska In an attempt to wiest
a fortune from tho fioen soil, and
nfter arjlng experiences extending
over a period of nearly three years,
returned to this city, only to be
Piomptly nt rested and this time de
llveied Into the custody of the concern
which has spent several times the
amount which he Is alleged to have
embezzled In an effort to make an
example of the young bookkeeper who
Is accused of having betrayed his trust.

region were, not to near luspendera, and .till try
to go In hi .hlitaleoves, something, might hip
pen that would be more scandalising than tho

the mah'a summer belt has been said by doctors
to he promotive of Indigestion and more serious
stomach troubles, through the too tight buckling
necessary to uphold trousers Suspenders are
healthier than belts and ran be made much more
