ROR RIBLE IF TRUE.

Mr.. ]. P. Burke, of Wells, visited the
FREE PRESS office this morning and gave
AZ a rumor that bad come to his ear the
rather meager particulars of what, if
true, is horrible crime. As the rumor
goes, Miss Lint, daughter of Mr.. Frank
Lint, former Register of Deeds of
Faribault county, has Teen engaged in
teaching district school not lar from
Winnebago City. On Thursday or Fri
day the teacher had occasion 10 punish
one of her pupils for dlsobedience. The
name of the pupil was not learned, but
report saws that the father of the child
became indignant at the liberties taken
by Miss Lint and proceeded TO the
school house TO have an accounting.
What took place N the room is not
given, but it is said that the irate father
hurled the call bell at the theacher,
striking her III the head and from the
effects of the blow it is reported that
she died soon after.
Mr.. Burke, our informant. says tina,
he could not verify the report, but be
has no doubt of its correctness. Ii
seems rather unusual that an occur.

to him several certificates of deposit.
The amount of goods taken will
amount to fully as much as was stated
yesterday, and very likely to more. But
this does not indicate the loss to the
firm, as considerable amount of goods
will undoubtedly be returned. This,
with Powlison's restitution, will reduce
the loss TO the firm by at least one-half.
There is notsufficlent evidence against
the young man who established the
agencies to proceed against him. or he
would be taken into custody.
We stated yesterday that Mr.. Thomas
is partner of Mr.. Mcconnell. He is a
special partner, it being a limited part
nersbip.
While there we're thirty-six names On
Powllson's book in the list he called
agents, he said that SOME of them de-
clined to make any purchases, and did
not send IN any orders. One of the let
ters includes the thanks of the young
lady writer for handsome and unex-
pected Christmas gift, sent with the last
consignment of goods.
1t develops that Powlison offered
goods in the store to customers, at large
" reduced prices, in order to make his
sales foot up higher. To one lady of
this city he offered rich piece of dress
.oods at so ridiculously low price that
she was afraid 10 accept the offer. He
also pocketed the proceeds from several
Express orders. He admitted that the
last one which he had 30 taken was for
S34 90
Universal sympathy is expressed for
Mrs. Powlison, who is well nigh pros
rated by the developments. She was
acquainted with him in Michigan when
Doth were children and schoolmates,
out both left home for different states,
md she of course did not hear of his
nisdeeds in Kansas.
Postal cards and kilograms, contain
ing full description of Powlison were
sent out yesterday afternoon to every
part of the United States, and every eff
fort is being made to secure his arrest.

About fifty friends and relatives we're

were given.
Mr. Rose is too we'll and favorably

That the bride is equally popular at

From SATURDAYS Daily.

The disappearance OF Geo. s Powlison
and the developments in connection with
his crooked dealings, is the talk of the
aour, and is everywhere the subject of
conversation. To say that the affair
created great sensation would be stat.
ing it lightly. The position occupied by
Powlison in so prominent store natur-
ally made him more less known to a
large part of our people, no less than by
the prominence which he attained in
connection with religious societies.
MANY could scarcely believe the report,
and felt sure that something would de-
yelop to disprove il, in part at least But
thus far there is nothing to tighten the
gravity of the offense, and evidence con-
inues to accumulate against PQwl,son.
QGlte number of letters have come in
from Powlison's "agents" during the

his delay in going was the fact that
he was uncertain how his wife would
view his crookedness, but when she
declined to have anything further to
do with him there was no longer any
