The arrest of Moe is expected momentarily
just before the two men parted that he was going back home to Kellogg, Idaho. His father,
F. V. Moe, is connected with the theatre business.
Moe had scarcely an enemy in Klamath Falls. He came here six months ago from
Longview, Wash. During his time .here he was liked by everyone with whom he came in
contact. According to many who observed him a few days before he left the city, he
ippeared very ill at ease, very nervous. His friends suspected nothing, however, attributing
it to the fact that he was abstracted at the thought of leaving his friends, doubtful as to
whether he would return.
It is honed that there mav nossiblv be some mistake about the missing funds; that

what there is a big shortage in the funds, unaccounted for by Moe.
Moe's father is said to be fairly well fixed, financially. He may make the shortage
good. And "Bud" is said to have awaited quite a neat sum any day from a transparent
shadow screen he perfected, and for which a patent has been applied.
