FISHER DEPARTED UNDER CLOUD TOOK AIRS. TRUDO'S WATCH : LEAVES SEVERAL BILLS UNPAID. SIICRIPP KENNEDY GOT WATCH County Attorney Gullcrson Could Not Issue Warrant for His Arrast And lie was Allowed to Re main in Grand Island. Will Fisher , a painter who has been in the cit } * for six months , left Monday night lor Grand Is land and took with him a gold watch and fob belonging to Mrs. Trudo , daughter of Mrs. A. E Gandy. Ho left several unpaid bills behind him. Dr. Dodd has a bill against him for over fifty dollars , Brueggcman & Stcinway the popular tailors , are short twenty-three dollars on a suit of clothes they made for him and delivered Monday , and Tom Fin- len has not been paid a five dollar lar liver } ' bill. Fisher had been boarding at Mrs. Gaudy's and her daughter had loaned him the watch and fob , which she values at about forty dollars. Fisher telephoned te her Monday evening that he was going away and would be up to get his clothes. When he went up to get his baggage about half an hour before train time Mrs. Trudo asked him for the watch , and he replied that he would be back in twenty minutes and give it to her. . She demanded it on the spot and he refused to give it up and did not return. Mrs. Gaudy then went up to his room and found that all of his belong ings had been removed and the condition of the screen over the window indicated that he had at tempted to pry off the screen and throw his clothes out of the win dow in order to leave without her finding it out. She notified Mar shal Shackleford and asked him to watch the trains. Fisher , however , evaded "Shack" and made good hiw get away. Sheriff Kennedy later learned that Kirk Douglas had purchased a ticket to Grand Island for Fish er and had had his suit cases ex pressed. Kennedy found him in the Island Tuesday , got the watch and fob and then turned him loose on a promise that he would be back in two weeks and pay up his bills Fisher said he had paid up his board for a few days in advance and was holding the watch in order to get his money back. Mrs. Trudo says that she can yet witnesses to prove that while he was in Broken Bow he offered to put the watch up for ten dollars lars in a poker game and she is of the opinion that he was trying- to get away with the watch with the intention of keep'ug or dis posing of it. County Attorney Gutterson re fused to furnish Sheriff Kennedy a warrant for his arrest because in his opinion the act of taking the watch with him under the circumstances did not constitute a criminal offence.
