Skipped with the Coin.

Last year Mrs. L. A. st. Clair leased

err Brothers. The conditions of the
lease were such that no stock was to
be sold by the lessees without her writ

ceeds of the sale of stock during the
term Of the lease was to belong to
Mrs. st. Clair. About two weeks
ago the parties to- the lease shipped
two carloads of beef cattle to Omaha
Ill charge of Topper Fisher, one Of the
lessees, who carried with him Mrs.
st. Clair's written order to sell the
cattle in accordance with the terms
of the lease.
Fisher sold the cattle in Omaha for
$4,000 and sent $3.50 to his brothers
ut the ranch, but failed to remit ST.
600, One-half of the proceeds, to Mrs.
st. Clair.
1t is learned that when Fisher sold
the cattle he refused check for the
amount and demanded the cash.
This was given him and the last heard
of him was that he had been put to
bed the night after the sale in a very
drunken condition.
Mrs. st. Clair is convinced from all
the circumstances that Fisher has
skipped with her money and will take
steps to bring him to Justice. She

"The AImistice," Minister Kurino

After the meeting OF the Peace
Ambassadors had been decided on,
China requested the declaration Of an

Kurino said. not been inclined to
stop its warlil1c operations except on
certain conditions.
These conditions are not known, but
it is suggested probably the occupa-

Japan wishing something as u guar
antee of the willingness and earnest
ness of the Chinese for an amicable
settlement of the war. China evil

sador solved the problem for the time
