ROBBED THE WIDOW.
J. d. Harston's Career OF Crime
Brought TO an Abrupt End.

To Postoffice Inspector Beeb1 be-
longs the credit Of unearthing and ex-
posing one OF the most systematic and
long-continued careers Of villainy
which has been brought to light in
many a day. 1t shows that IL man
be crooked, no matter how many pub
lie offices ne may hold or positions Of
trust he may ell, sooner or later the
lynx-eyed representatives OF the gov
ernment will run him to cover. IL j..
ID. Harst0n hal not possessed heart
of stone instead of one leavened with
the milk OF human kindness, had he
any computations OF conscience what
ever for Appropriating the widows
mite TO his own use and benefit, the
services OF Inspector Reebe would not
have been necessary In his case. But
he has neither pity nor conscience and
ms result he is now IN durance vile
with long sentence in the peniten-
tiary staring him in the face.
In 1893 this !. d. Harston was a duly
elected, qualified and acting justice Of
the peace at Union, Okla, and was
also assistant postmaster at that place.
Harston WAS also a notary public and
being an old soldier transacted almost
all the pension business for the old
soldiers at Union and vicinity.
On February Z, OF that year, the
dead body of Isaac Cooper was found
on his farm near Union and a coroner's
inquest conducted by Justice of the
Peace Harston, resulted IN verdict OF
death from heart failure. Cooper was
an old soldier and had been receiving
a pension of $40 per quarter. shortly
after the death of Cooper his widow
employed HRrston TO secure the trans
fer OF her dead husbands pension TO
herself. Harston apparently complied,
but after securing every dollar the
poor woman had informed her that the
pension bureau had refused TO do any
thing and that she would not be able
to get the usual widows pension. The
widow, broken in health and penni-
less, became Respondent and moved TO
Livingston, Ariz.
Late developments show that Hars-
ton had destroyed all the widows s
papers that should have been sent TO
the pension department aud that for
nearly five years he had been drawing
the pension originally granted 10
Isaac Cooper, his position as assistant
postmaster enabling him TO secure the
pension voucher and keep the pension
department at Washington from
learning OF Cooper's death.
Inspector Beebe worked up the case
against Harston for violation OF the
postal laws involved, secured full
confession aud upon examination be
fore the United States commissioner
Harston was held for trial and his
bond placed at SO 900.

In his revival Of the Swedish American
dialect play, "Ole Olson" at the McKen-
non last night Space forbids an extended
mention OF the play and PLAYERS, but,
briefly put, the audience attended the

loud aud long, aud naturally went away
feeling satisfied.
There Is nothing dull about this play,
especially as Il was given last night but
Il Is one continual round OF jollity from
start 10 finish. One feature Of last even

tion, as IL was an entire revelation 10 even

bicycle riding OF John Lawson. TO the

~-Brainerd experienced three bur-
glaries on Wednesday night.
Where's Mike?

Michael Kedrowski the young man
who was charged with grand lar
ceny, for having disposed OF a bicycle
which he had purchased from Ellen
becker & Goulet under contract, did
not put in his appearance in Justice
Sheldon's court Saturday afternoon
according to the conditions OF the
bonds under which he was placed.
On Wednesday KedrOwski asked
for a postponement Of. his hearing
which was granted and Saturday
was set as the day of trial.
Kitowski, the proprietor OF the
City hotel, was his bOndsman, and
when Kedrowski did not appear his
boDdsman asked for a postpunement
until today. At the hour set for his
trial today young Kedrowski did
not appear, but his father was on
hand and asked for another post
ponement until Tuesday.
Just where Michael Kedrowski is
at present. no one seems to know,
but his father is gradually coming to
the conclusion that he is something
of a crook. 1t is thought that Ked-
rowskj, ST., will settle the matter
by paying Ellenbecker & GOulet for
the wheel and paying the court
costs.

Caused Disappointment.

The game Of buse ball which was
to have been played bet ween the
printers and BARRIERS Of this city
Sunday afternoon did NOT come on,
for the reason that several OF the
BARRIERS backed down. This was a
great disappointment to many
spectators who had gathered to wit
ness the game. and also to Jas. Gotta,
who was to pitch for the BARRIERS.
Gotta had practiced diligently, and
had u whole armiul Of puzzling
curves up his sleeve which he
wanted to throw &C the printers.
but the other knights of the razor
were not rs confident as he was. and
wouldn't play. One thing is certain,
and that III. Gotta ia not til blame for
the failure of the BARRIERS to play, for

The "rcgulaing" Of the saloon
business by municipal authorities IL
ALWAYS one of the most troublesome
uestiohs that comes before n mayor.
Some mayors ignore all regulations,
and practically allow the saloons
nil the liberty they want In running
their business, Others insist on a
strict enforcement Of the law. The
attempt to adopt middle course
generally brings about as much an
nOyancc as either OF the policies
mentioned, above. 1t is difficult to

obey the laws Or certain hours Of
the day when he has the evident
consent of the authorities to viOl ate

BICYCLE TRACK ASSURED.
Contract Let and Work Began
On It Saturday.

The whcelmen Of this city have fo
a long time been engaged in an effor
to get a suitable bicycle track In thu
city, and although they hav, me
with much to discourage them. they
have been persistent and success vii
he the reward uf their efforts in II few
days.
A subscription list was started
among our citizens about two
months ago, aud the wheelmen gcn
orally contributed as did also some
of the business men, but as the cost
of the track was under-estiInated the
necessary amount was not secured
ut the first circulation Of the petit
ton. With the desire to have a
good track Nels Peterson, ex-county
surveyor, was employed to survey
it, and give an estimate of making
a first-class truck.
After completing the survey Mr..
Peterson gave his estimate for the
cost of building at $1l0, and offered
to do it for that amount. The con-
tract was accordingly awarded t"
him Yesterday, and Thos. Bohan,
under Mr.. Peterson's direction, began
work Saturday morning.
The track will he located In the
part of the city near
the gun club grounds. 1T will be
one-third of a mile in length, and
will be level entirely around the
course. 1t will be sixtee feet wide,
and each of the turns will be banked
three feet high at the outside. The
track will lie elliptical In shape and
will be covered with black earth and
will have az mooth, hard surface.
There is considerable work to b.
done to make it according to specifi-
cations as the ground is not very even,
and the black earth will all be re-
moved and hauled back on the track
again when it il graded down to a
level all around.
The wheelmen who have sOfarhad
charge of the work OF raising the
necessary funds, state that they
have not vt raised sufficient money
to do all the work, and request all
the wheelmen, and others who have
not already donated, to assist them
az much as possible, for the track
will not only be for the use OF all
bicycle riders, but willfurnish amuse-
ment for everyone inter ested in bi
cycle racing. 1t is the intention
local wheelmen to have a meeting
here not later than the latter part
of September, and there will be some
very interesting events.
