Monon Man Wanted For Swindling.

The police have been asked to apprehend Charles W. Taylor aged 21 years, of Monon, Ind., who is alleged to have obtained money on false pretenses. State Senator Will R. Wood is one of the young man’s victims. Taylor entered Senator Wood’s office and asked him for the loan of >l7. He said he had bought a horse at the sales barn for his father and needed just >l7 to make the deal. Senator Wood knows the young man and his father, who iin the livery business at Monon, and gave him the money he asked so? Later he learned that Taylor had bought no horse at the sales barn. Communication with the young man’s father revealed the fact'that the elder Taylor knew nothing of any horse buying and did not know where his son was. It is understood that young Taylor obtained a large sum of money in Monon before leaving there. He is wanted at Monon and also in this city.—'Lafayette Courier.
