friends whom he had known In In-|,n® Btaml>B of Nafsinger were called

■pectable banker. He stood high in
the confidence of the public. He had
a great reputation aa a financier.
Hla Influence was immense and he
was regarded aa oue of the pillars of
the financial world.
Another man by the name of Burt
was an old friend of Nafslnger’s.
They had been engaged in a good

he had been reduced to poverty and
was forced to go through bankruptcy.
He put hla affairs in Nafslnger’s
hands for readjustment and * the
banker dexteriously concealed $40,-
000 worth of property for him.
When the time expired when the
bankruptcy proceedings could not be
overhauled on the charge of fraud,
Burt went to Nafsinger. told him
that he now had a chance of re-en-
gaging In business with his $49,000
and asked to have it turned over to
him.
was profoundly shocked, for num- i
berm of these stamp purchasers were |
reckoned among the best citizens
K In the meantime. Burt, the chief of |
polled had invested his savings in a
ranch in Texajs and was ready to go j
down there, shhkc the dujit from Wich-
ita from his feet and lead the life of j
an honest farmer. Greatly to his sur-
prise, Judge Pollock called him up, |
inquired Into his case and when Burt
pleaded that he had be<>n promised
Immunity by the district attorney, the i
Judge told him that while the attor-1
ney was an officer of the court, he |
wasn’t the full court, and he sentenc-
ed Burt to fifteen months in the pen-'
itentlary and subjected him t j a heavy 11
fine. Burt’s father and mother are,|
still living, an old couple, upwards of
eighty, and this blow fell heavily u;>-
on them. There the matter stands at,,

But Nafslnger’a greed got the bet-
ter of the friendship and he told
Burt that he had concluded to "cut
the amount In two; give him $20,000
and keep the other $20,000 for him-
self- Burt was powerless to help him-
self. He told Nafsinger that this
wonld prevent hla entering the bus-
iness which he had contemplated and
would oblige him to seek some other
employment; otherwise, he: suppress-
ed the rage that was In him. but laid
hla plana for revenge. -
He sought and obtained the posi-
tion of chief of police and when he
obtained It. he drove out of Wichita
every crook, every confidence man.
every gambler that the tofrn con-
tained. and ha speedily won the con-
fidence of the better element, so
that the cltlaens were loud In hla
praise. But In the meantime, he
made Wichita the center of a gang
of "yegg" men who raided the small
towns In the state and made a spe-
cialty of robbing postoffices, bring-
ing the staihps In to Burt who paid
them 50 cents on the dollar for their
plunder, allowing them at the same
. time to keep a sort of damping ground
In Wichita for the disposal of their
stuff which they accumulated.
When the postage stamps accu-
mulated in Burt’s hands, he took
them to Nafsinger and sold them to
him for Jnat what he, Burt, had paid
for them—SO cents on the dollar.
Nsfsinger disposed of them to the
department stores, to people who
did a large mail order business and
other concerns who used a large
amount of stamps. While there was
continual complaint that the smaller
cities were mercilessly robbed; Wich-
ita was protected by this novel meth-
od and her cltiseps frequently de-
clared that If the other towns had an

Grudge. «
Arrested In San Antonio on s
charge of forgery, an aged man ar-
rived in San Angelo Tuesday after-
noon accompanied by Sheriff J. F.
Craig of Schleicher County, who left
with him in an auto for Kldorado. The
arrest Is due to
Bet ton. County
county, of a deed transferring s 480-
scr»' tract of land owned by Mrs. C. E
Treadwell In the eastern part of
Sctlelcher county to the prisoner. The
deed accompanied a letter in which
ras said that a deed from Mrs.
Treadwell to the man whose name ap-
pei re as the grantor In the deed to the
prl toner, "would be sent tomorrow.*
Jpon Mr. Benson receiving the
de«d. Sheriff Craig was notified and
he asked San Antonio officers to ar-
ret t the man. who was taken In cus-
tody Saturday. Mr. Craig arrived In'
Sa i Antonio Monday morning, and
attjorbeys there, learning of his pres-
en *e. attempted to swear out a habeas
cofpus petition for the prisoner. Mr
Crhig, however, was too swift for|
them, for, securing an automobile,
he took his prisoner and drove to
Wetmore, a flag station on the I. A
G. • N. where he boarded a train for
Austin and then came on to San An-
gelo on the Santa Fe.
-The prisoner denies any knowl-
edge of the deed 'which Is supposed
to.transfer 480 acres of Mrs. Tread-
well's land to him, and Intimates
that a map who has a grudge against
him may be responalble. The man’s
name, it is said, appears on the deed
sent to Eldorado for recording.
Minus his right hand, a victim of
poor ^health, hard of hearing and very
feeble, the man in custody excited
considerable attention In the Landon
hotel Tuesday afternoon where he
was taken by Sheriff Craig while he
watted for an automobile. The pris-
oner. srpall of stature, saya he Is 79
years ol<j. He also states that for
six years he was district Judge In
Cowley county. Kansas, and that he
practiced law In Kansas for 40 years.
He also states that hla family lives
in Arkansas City, Kan. He has re-
sided In San Antonio since last Oct-
ober. he says, having gone there for
hla health. He formerly owned a
140-acre tract adjoining the Treadwell
land, ha said, and ha also stated that
he sold that somatime ago.—San An-
