Mr.. REGISTER, while at work yesterday
morning on the roof of a Third street
residence, was relieved of his watch in the
easiest manner imaginable. Before going
on to the building Mr.. Register had
placed his time keeper in one of the
pockets of his vest, which he took off and
| hung on the fence nearby. Wishing to
learn the time of day the gentleman had
no trouble to find his jacket, but the watch
was gone, and no clue to the thief.

Some days ago Mr.. Barnum called at
the store and he requested of the proprietor
| the loan of watch for short time. The
request was readily complied with. After
| obtaining the time piece Mr.. Barnum had
| occasion to leave town. On his return
| the gentleman was called on by Mr.. Zim-
| norman and asked to either pay for or
return the borrowed property. On his
| refusal to do either Mr.. Barnum was, by
the advice of the district attorney, arrested
for embezzlement. Before the case came
up for an examination in the police court
| a settlement was effected. Mr.. Barnum
then caused the arrest of Zimmerman as
stated above. This statement is not
vouched for as true, but is given as the
statement of the accused.
"Dlphtheria is Raging" is the heading
of a handbill scattered promiscuously
about the streets, liable to fall into the
hands of strangers and to give an erro-
neous impression as to the extent to which
the disease is prevailing in this city at the
present time. AS an example of the effect
of these dodgers is the farmer who picked
one up and read the heading when he
started to hitch up his team, remarking
that if that was the case
he wanted to get his wife and children out
of town as soon as possible. This man
may have been unnecessarily alarmed, but
all must admit that headings of the kind
indicated are likely to effect the minds of
outsiders in manner injurious to the
general business interests of the city. The
facts are that diphtheria has not prevailed
here to any alarming extent at any time.
Neither has the disease proved unusually
fatal.
In attempting to board train on the
Duluth road, which was due here at 6
o'clock and ten minutes On Friday evening.
John Carlson was knocked down and seri-
ously injured about the face and head. AS
usual, there are three or four different
versions of how the accident happened.
But it is pretty generally conceded that as
the train passed Shulenberg's mill Carlson
grabbed the ratings of the second car, and
in attempting to gain the steps lost his
hold and was thrown with great violence
against post and rebounded against the
corner of the mixed car, by which he was
knocked senseless to the earth. On exam
ination it was found that the injuries con-
sisted of two deep wounds on the head and
the breaking of the cheek bone. That
Carlson was not killed was simply good
luck. When assistance reached him his head
