Sewing machine agent absconds with funds in Chelsea
Harold, a Singer company agent, fled Chelsea with company money after selling two sewing machines at reduced prices and forging a contract. He took the livery team, left the Frisco line at night westbound, and was last seen with a wife in Indiana. Brock seeks him, with 10 charges against the Chelsea team in the stable. Nearby, Cherokee politics feature John E. Gunter's candidacy for chief, noting his public service and family history with Sequoyah.
