Pete Jensen In Trouble
Last week Pete Jensen, formerly a Bear
Creek cowman, was arrested and placed in jail
at Tucson, Arizona, at the instance of Zecken-
dorf & Company of that place, who claim that
Jensen has swindled that firm to the amount of
about $2200. After selling out here Jensen went
to Nogales, Arizona, to engage in the mercan-
tile business with his father in law, Wm. Smith,
and was reported as doing well for some time.
On leaving this county he received letters of
introduction and credit from Lindauer & Co.,
which he seems to have used to good advantage
in his new location. He bought goods by the car
load and Zeckendorf & Co., had such confi-
dence in Jensen that they went so far as to
advance the freight charges to Nogales, where
upon the arrival of a particular car load of flour
Jensen immediately proceeded to smuggle it
across the line into old Mexico, his creditors
contend for the purpose of swindling them. He
was arrested and now languishes in durance
charged with embezzlement and other crimes,
and thus far he has been unable to obtain bail.
