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. Don Clnbuiigh In Chili. J. F. Clabaugh receiVed a letter yes terday from his son Don who Is now in Chili, South America.
