HAPPINESS AT LAST.

For years they have battled with diff
culties. During all this time John and
Miss Craig kept up correspondence until
in November, 1890, Miss Craig was
agreeably surprised at the sudden and
unexpected appearance in his native city
of John Wickland, who bore the joyful
intelligence that his family, their fortune
restored, would soon be in their old home.
How was it?
This happy termination came out in
this wise: A man named johnson located
himself at Mcconnell as merchant,
running plantation and supply store.
His wealth in ready money was the talk
of the town. He sold goods rapidly and
made money hand over fist. He took
great interest in the Wicklands and
seemed to evince especial interest in the
facts relating to their robbery and utter
ruin. 1t finally came out that johnson
had been a prison bird and the cold
shoulder was turned to him by Lucy
Wickland, to whom he was paying at
tention. This seemed to nettle him, and
he sent for the old gentleman to come to
him.
Their interview lasted two hours. At
length johnson confessed that it was he
who had robbed Wickland of his wealth,
and coming to this country had trebled
bis possessions. He gave the old man
his check for $4,000. So soon az this
happened the Wicklands decided to re-
turn to their native land. When John
son heard of their determination he in
sisted on paying their passage back to
Scotland.
The strangeet feature Of the affair was
that johnson Immediately sold out all
his belongings and went back to Scot
land a month after the family of Wick
land had returned, and letter from him
TO a friend announcing his marriage to
Miss Lucy Wickiand, eldest daughter Of
the man whom he had robbed, has been

RESTITUTION AT LAST.
THE RESTORATION OF A STOLEN
FORTUNE BY THE THIEF.

A Ceremony That Was Delayed Many
Had Been Robbed-Ths Rascal Marriss
One Of the Daaghters.
The truth Of the old saying that fort
une favors those who wait has again
been illustrated in the case of Lal Wick
land, an old man 63 years of age, and an
employee of the Illinois Central railroad
at Mcconnell. some fifty miles north of
Milan, Tenn. The story reads like q
romance. There resided in the city Of
Aberdeen, Scotland, seventeen years ago
rich and prosperous jeweler, Mr.. Lal-
land Wickham, man of family, which
consisted of himself, his wife, three sons
and three daughters.
The name Of the eldest son was John,
and he was engaged to a young lady Of
his native city by the name of Craig, one
of the foremost of the beautiful Scotch
maidens of Aberdeen. Their marriage
was only deferred on account of some
business transactions.
One day Wickland burst into his wife's
Mary, we are ruined-utterly ruinedl
The shop has been broken into and at
least e12, 900 worth Of plate and jewelry
carried off. I have been with the do
tectives through all the holes in the city,
but we found no trace of the thief or Of
the goods. The detectives think the
goods will never be discovered, and we
are ruined if it is So" When this rob
berry occurred John Wickland was in
London, and he read the news in Lon
don newspaper. He hurried home and
found the family in the greatest distress.
SEEKING A NEW FORTUNE.
For many days the Wicklands INDUCED
themselves in the hope that some clew
would be found to the robbers and their
precious wealth be restored to them
These hopes were never realized. The
robbery, as the police said, had been
cleverly and clearly done. No trace of
the perpetrators or any part of the prop
erty was ever discovered.
In the meantime Wickland had paid
all his outstanding debts, and found
himself pauper without sixpence. He
might have urged the robbery as plea
for bankruptcy, but he was too conscien-
tious ever to think of such a course, SO
he paid his debts to the last penny. The
utter ruin which had overtaken the
Wicklands postponed the proposed union
between John and Miss Craig, and Mr..
Wickland struggled on for few years,
his son John assisting him all the while,
but they could not even make a living.
1t seemed that fate was against him.
About this time thousands of people
were leaving the old countries of Europe
and heading for America Mr.. Wick
land caught the emigration fever and
longed to come to this country. He sold
all his personal effects, and securing !
Storage passage for his family landed in
New York. He had some money and it |
went fast. He began to realize that he |
must find something to do.
He left New York and went to st. |
Louis. When they arrived in that city,
some fifteen years ago, they had very
little left. The boys found employment |
rs hands on the railroad. In 1888 they
came to Cairo, Ills, and the boys stayed |
there, while the old gentleman secured
position further south, at Mcconnell, as
track walker and keeper of the tanks in
that vicinity

Thinks Healy Can Explain.

EDITOR TRIBUNE: I found no fault
with the utterances of "Seventy-fver,"
because he seemed to be impartial and
his statements were calculated to bring
cut a full investigation of a very serious
and important matter. 1 can't say SO
much for "New Timer" He is too ir.
rational and i%nsincere, altogether too jo-
cular. I believe as the TRIBUNE says
editorially that this whole matter
should be thoroughly investigated fairly
and impartially. In the light of ante.
election rumors and subsequent develop
ments T. am satisfied that this Healy-
Mason-Swenson case is a nasty mess and
I am sorry to lose confidence in a man
whom l supported for election. I think
you will find, however, although it may
not lessen the guilt, that Healy did not
play so prominent a part as has been
stated. I at least believe him more cum
ming than Mason's testimony shows. I'll
wager that he managed the affair some
way so he will be able to swear that he
knows nothing of details, that he simply
brought Mr.. Mason and MI. Swenson to-.
gether and the money he handed Mason,
he will say was handed him to give
to Mason and he (Healy) knew not what
for. l anu not apoligizing for Mr.. Healy,
for if he is gully of deviltry under the
cloak of religion then I consider him
more guilty than though he made no
profession of religion, but there has ex-
listed such a bitter feeling against Healy
by some parties in this community I fear
their prejudice may lead to unreasonable
persecution in this case. Why not wait
until the matter has been sifted out? If
it is co~nclusively shown that Mr.. Healy
is a bad man then [ am certain he can
not count on a great many persons who
have hitherto been his friends and who
have believed all along that his ousting
from office was wrong. OF course we
are all liable to to err in our judg-
ment and conclusion of men and [ must
confess that if the charges made against
Mr.. Healy in the case cannot be cleared
away then I have been fooled terribly in
my Judgment Of human nature. I am
also heartily sick of the perpetual strife
always going on in this county ever since
I settled here and I wish the people
could get together and put a stop to it.
It seems to me there is more politics
and worse politics here than in any
place [ ever heard of.

Mason


In the district court yesterday morn
ing, MI. Aaron M. Mason was sent for
and asked by the court if he had anything
to state why sentence should not be
passed upon him for disobeying the sub
pena that was served on him prior to
the Oath ult?
Mr.. Mason said that he thought it
would be better for him to have a full
examination before the justice first. He
believed that a full examination and
cross-examination of himself and other
witnesses in the case would show that
his first statement made in court was
correct.
In reply to another question put by
Judge Winchester, MI. Mason said that
he did not believe any further facts
would be brought out that would tend to
a mitigation of his offence. He had
stated all the facts as they we're. He
knew at the time he disobeyed the sub
pena that he was doing wrong.
In passing sentence, Judge Winches-
ter said that there was no doubt in his
mind but that the defendant should be
severely punished; yet there were some
mitigating circumstances as they appear
from his (the d~efendant's) sworn state
ments. Owing to the fact that he was a
poor man andsin all probability had been
easily influenced, the sentence would not
be as severe as it otherwise would be
One Of the mitigating circumstances 81
the case was the trankness with which the
dstendans had statedto hecouft the tact.

The ThOrnhill Stock Farm.

STEELE, N. D., Dec. 2.-The Thornhill
stock farm, located ten miles south of
Steele, received a desirable acquisition to
its splendid assortment of fancy stock
yesterday in the shape of an imported
ine-wool am. Competent judges claim
it to be the finest animal of the kind
they have ever seen. Mr.. +. A. Baker, of
Detroit, Mich, II of the owners of this
celebrated stock farm, made the pur-
chase. Your correspondent had occasion
to visit the farm in question recently and
was surprised at the variety and excel
lence of the sheep, horses and cattle so
kindly displayed by Mr.. John Thornhill,
the resident manager. In horses they
have the celebrated Percherons and the
Hambletonians. In cattle they confine
themselves mostly to the Durham or
Shorthorn variety, and have many prize
| winners in eastern states and Canada
now in their herd. Their sheep cannot
be beaten in the state, and they have an
increasing demand for all the rams bred
on the farm, at prices that render the in
dustry extremely profitable. The farm
comprises several sections; one they have
fenced with wire and another with pick
cts. The buildings are comfortable and
commodious, and a never failing artesian
we'll supplies them with an abundance of
pure water. Stock lovers would find the
Thornhill farm a delightful and profita-
BILE place to spend a day.
