of the adventures of man named Robert Nc
Farland who hired buggy ct Days livery
stable and lit ont for Minneapolis. The rig
was recovered at that city and Mcfarland was
brought to st. Paul by Officer Lowell, being

rearrested on the charge of forgery, the facts
being as follows: A few days since he pre-
sented a certified order for S43 in favor of James
Mack, an employe of the Sioux City railroad
company. The order was made out as time
certificate and presented to paymaster Hamil-
ton for payment. The latter noticed that the
order was made out in regular form on the
strength of which he paid the money.
Last Saturday Mack presented his slime" at
the Office and his astonishment was great upon
being confronted with the order, which was at
once declared forgery. The police were in
formed of the affair yesterday, and Officer
Lowell was detailed to look up his man. He
was arrested at a boarding house on Minnesota
