Spiritual bodies are seen with perfect

who are above suspicion. All of which

All due to unconscious cerebration,

WHA7SIOUX FALLS PEOPLE THINK
CONCERNING THE REPORTED ROB-
Berry.
A gentleman of this city who re-
turned from Sioux Falls on the last
train has these facts and opinions in
| regard to the reported robbery Of l.. e.
Turner at Worthington last week ::
Mr.. Turner, it will be remembered,
claimed to have been knocked down
and robbed of some $4,000. OF this
money $50. 600 had been received from
Phelps, who had bought his stock Of
goods at Sioux Falls. The other $4,000
| was the proceeds of the private sales
of goods before selling the stock in
bulk. At Sioux Falls since the re-
ported robbery, representatives Of the
wholesale firms in st. Paul, Milwaukee
and Chicago had arrived and attached
the stock of goods now in the possess
ion Of Phelps.
The Sioux Falls people Go not take
much stock in the reported robbery
They say that Phelps, who is now put
forward as the owner of the goods, was
formerly sort of hanger-On about the
store of Turner, and was never sup
posed to be the individual owner of a
thousandth part of $4,000 at one time.
They further say that the Turner's,
there were several brothers in the firm,
had been shaping their course for a
| grab for some time. The store was
piled full of goods, under the. counters
and all, for some time goods had been
sold at less than the wholesale prices.
In some cases other Sioux Falls mer-
chants had sent men to the Turner
Bros. store to buy goods for them, as
they could purchase merchandise there
cheaper than in Chicago. Such Sioux
City firms as sold goods to the Turner
Bros. are believed to have collected up
all accounts and lose nothing by the
business. The attachments of dealers
in other cities amount to some $13, 900.
