INDICTED FOll FRAUD

r-
S. A. 3Iendo of tills City Among those
Indicted by the Federal (Jrand Jury
Last "Week.
S A. M,eado of this city Is Included
In the list of indictments brought
last week by the federal grand Jury
of the federal district court at Omaha
against some thlrty-nlno men charged
with using tho mails for the purpose
of defrauding. Tho case is to bo
heard Monday of next week in Omaha
and Deeler & Crosby of this city will
appear for Mr. Meade.
In the list is also included E. C.
Hodder, a prominent attorney of Oma
ha. It seems that a corporation was
organized by a number of men for the
purpose of selling a large number of
raugo horseu reputed to be located in
Arizona. After a buyer had paid his
money over ho was left to find the
horses in that state and would prob
ably find a few horses carrying tho
brand represented by the corporation,
but the horses wee so few that it was
a clear case of fraud. Tho company
also used tlyj malls for advertising
which caused their indictment for de
frauding through the United States
mail.
Just how Mr. Hodder is implicated
in tho business is not definitely known
as ho is a man of good reputation. Mr.
Meade, however, was employed by the
company and lold horses for them.
Later he was allowed to go to Ari
zona and he then discovered tho fraud
and quit the company. It is the opin
ion that he was indicted for the sake
of getting him to the trial as a wit
ness. He waB arrested by tho local of-
fleers, but is now gut on bonds.
