One day last week T. L. Mccormick
lost clasp wallet containing ten dol
dars in money. The wallet was found
the next day by John Kerneghan in the
entrance way or hall of the Northern
Pacific railroad depot, but instead of the
money it then contained an advertising
imitation of money of the denomination
of twenty dollars. Mr.. Kerneghan went
into the Office of the depot with the wal
let in his hand. where there were FIVE or
six persons and exhibited it, asking if
any one had lost it. He there discovered
the nature OF the contents, considered it
a joke or sell, and told the boys that he
would get even with them on April Fools
day. He subsequently, gave the book
and its contents to an employee at the
station named Root. Mr.. Mccormick
learning that John had found a wallet
asked him about it, and he told him he
had found it, and what disposition he
had made oft, but said there was no
money in it. Mr.. Mccormick got the
wallet from Root, and came to John for
the money which he thought had been
distracted for a joke. Finding him in
earnest and believing he had distracted
the money and substituted t he worthless
paper, he caused his arrest upon a COM
plant for larceny, and trial was had be-
fore Judge Barto and a jury of twelve
good men and true. The state was rep
resented by Mr.. ofSt. Cloud
representing county attorney Taylor,
and D. c. Van Camp for the defence. A
large number of witnesses were sworn,
and the evidence drawn out as above
narrated, and Mr.. Kerneghan was ac-
quilted.
There is no doubt that the money was
lost but between the losing, and the find
ing by Mr.. Kerneghan, some one had alb
stracted the money AMI left the pocket
book where it was finally picked up. In
the nature of things it could not have
lain for the length of time it was out of
Mr.. McCormick's possession in so public
and prominent place without being
discovered. 1t is hoped the real culprit
will be found and the money restored,
for the loser is a Woodworking, honor
able man, and can lily afford to sustain
the loss-much less loss by petty lar
ceny.

Cleveland and Gov. Hill at the
private supper given at the Nam
hatten Club Of New York last week,
and the reconciliation that was
brought about by the friends of
the two distinguished leaders Of tl,e
Democracy Of the Empire State, is
a matter to cause general rejoicing
among Democrats all over the conn
try, and a corresponding amount
OF disgust in the ranks Of their po-
litical election opponents. Ever
since the presidential election Of
1889 the Republicans have hoped
to profit by the differences between
the Cleveland aud Hill factions of
the Democratic party Of New York,
but the result Of the Manhattan
Club supper deprives them Of the
only chance they had of securing
the electoral vote Of that State.
The former friendly relations tha.
existed between Cleveland and Hill
have been restored, and the recon-
means that the. solid del
esatiOn Of New York Democrats
will support Cleveland for the nom. |
