Some time ago, Geo. Hall, who has a
farm east of the city, and W. B. Liver
more, the horseman, had some business
transactions. Hall got some horses and
other articles of value from Mr.. Liver
more; and in payment gave a mortgage
on his wheat crop for the present and
next year, and also upon some horses
which he claimed to own. The aggregate
OF the notes he gave was S525.
Last Wednesday Hall came to the
city, one of the notes for 500 being due,
saw MIR. Livermore, and made arrange
ments to pay the note next day. That
afternoon he remained in the city, had
himself shaved, his hair cut, purchased
some new garments and a ticket to Mos
COW, Idaho. Next morning, when the
SlOO was to have been paid, MI. Hall
was en- route to Moscow, with the money
in his pocket, and Mr.. Livermore was
waiting.
After a reasonable time, and when his
mar failed to put in an appearance, Mr..
Livermore took a jaunt out to his place
to see what had become of him. Mr..
Hall was not there, and Livermore
learned that he had, prior to his de-
parture, disposed of the mortgaged
wheat. The horses, upon which Hall
had given a mortgage, were claimed by
Halls father, who refused to give them
up. And Mr.. Livermore's securities
were in a consequently shaky condition.
MIR. Livermore offered a reward of $50
for the capture of the delinquent. and
Sheriff Donnelly took the matter in hand.
He learned that a man answering Halls
description had purchased a ticket for
Moscow, and he telegraphed the officials
there. Monday evening he received an
answer that the officers had the man de-
sired. Mr.. Livermore leaves for Idaho
tomorrow, to return with Hall, who will
be given a chance in court to explain
the whyness and whenceforthness of his
sale of mortgaged property, and his sud-
den departure from the city, at a time
when his presence was desired to the
extent of several hundred dollars.

The agent of the Northern Pacific at
Darlington, Miss Emma Poole, possesses
a cat. There is nothing remarkable in
this except that the cat is of the kind
that comes back. Without any known
reason, and for some time, there has
been a growing but concealed enmity
against the feline by her mistress, but it
was not until recently that open hostili-
ties we're declared. Not wishing to de-
stroy the life OF the pussy, it was finally
decided to deport the animal as baggage,
the formality of checking waived by the
contestants and the cat placed in a
cold and unfeeling baggage a and
shipped south. In due time the feline
traveller arrived in Jamestown,and, when
the car was opened, disappeared in the
darkness. On the return trip the next
day the train stopped at Melville, thirty
five miles away, and, as the brakeman
stepped to the end of the baggage car,
the voice of a cat was heard underneath
the car. A search disclosed the very
same cat riding a la hobo on the brake
beam, homeward bound. Thinking that
such a creature deserved a better fate
than being thrown on a cold world, it
was taken aboard and carried back to
Darlington, to the disgust of its owner
