Description
"Looking for a Missing Teamster." - - This afternoon, a Platte County, Missouri, colored man named Thornton Grant was about the various mills inquiring for a teamster who had brought a 40 bushel load of wheat in for him. It seems the man unloaded the wheat at the elevator, took the check to Rush & Sprague’s, got it cashed and disappeared. Grant got the weight of the wheat at the elevator on a piece of paper, and when he presented himself at the counter to get his money, he found his man had been ahead of him. The amount was $26. Grant was in anything but a good temper when he discovered how the thing had been managed. The teamster is a colored man named Seymour.Date(s) of Creation
