D. C. STRATTON ARRESTED
Claim Adjuster Charged With Theft
by O. R. & N.
Don C. Stratton, of 966 East Everett
street, who, until two weeks ago, was
employed as a claim adjuster for the
O. R. & N. Co., was arrested last night
at his home by Detectives Price and
Coleman, on a warrant sworn out yes
terday by Judge Cameron, of the Mu
nicipal Court. Stratton was taken to
the City Jail. He was arrested on the
complaint of the O. R. & N. Co., which,
through its auditor, Ralph Blalsdell,
charges that Stratton, while in its em
ploy, sold certain articles of freight
entrusted to his care, for which he
received $155, and failed to turn over
the money to the company.
While there is only one offense enum
erated In the sworn complaint on which
Stratton. was arrested, it Is said that an
investigation by the railway officials
since his connection with the company
ceased, will probably lead to accusa
tions of similar peculations amounting
to many hundreds of dollars. Stratton
was given his liberty after bond for
$750 had beejj given by his wife and a
friend for his appearance before Judge
Cameron. Stratton will have a hearing
today.
