Last Saturday it was discovered
that the ro"nd elevator had been en-
tered by some person and three bills
of latling for 1000 bushels of wheat
had been stolen. From subsequent
developments it is suspected that w.
A. Suits an employee, is the guilty
party. 1t seems that parties from
Minneapolis. visited Norris in Quest
of Suits on 4 charge OF emhezzleirent.
The ease was settled by Suits paying
5000 90, which amount he raised by
mortgaging his household goods and
other loose property that he possess

of lading have been returned here.
one of them having been cashed ut
Herman for $4,000 the other one had
been cashed at Graceville for $4,000.
The third one has not yet been heard
from. 1t has also been discovered
that he forged wheat ticket Feb.
25th. for $500.
On Friday morning, sometime after
midnight, he sought entrance to
john Ilafdung's hotel at Donnelly,
AMI prevailed upon him before re-
firing to have the saloon keeper open
up and give him some whisky. lie
had reached Donnelly afoot, telling
there that the buggy in which he
| and his companion had started had
upset ami been Smashed. Tn the
morning Suits borrowed SIS and star
| ted for Herman, John Harding driv-
ing him. He told some magnificent
tales of his operations; buying thou.
sands of bushels of wheat, and an
elevator here and there. Harding
left him at herman. Later in the
day he was seen at Graceyille. and
thence he went to Wahpeton. where
he purchased ticket for Winnipeg
for which place officers have started
in pursuit. Suits has already served
a term in Saltwater for forgery.
He left his wife and child penni
less, and they leave to-day with the
assistance of friends for the home
of Mrs. Suits mother.

Owing to the absence of the affir-
native debaters at the Lyceum last
Friday night the question between
Washington and Lincoln remains I'M
solved. Quite.a number of the ladies
and gentlemen who had been selected
by the committee on programme beg
ged to be excused, also, so that the ses-
sion cannot be said to have been an
unqualified success. Messrs. p. McCol-
lam and Tho3. Murphy favored the
audience with songs, and Miss Rosie
Murphygave a very pleasing decla-
nation. Tonight the same question
is again set down for discussion. and
as new and able talent has been Sc
lected to uphold the neglected side,
we look for an interesting argument.
