NEVADA RANCHMAN,
WHO HAS NOT COME BACK YET
ALBERT REPORTED HIS SAD AD-
VENTURE TO THE POLICE
LAST EVENING.
BURGLARS WORK IN DAYLIGHT
Residence ON Thirteenth Street Is
Entered and a Valuable Watch
Is Taken.

Anxious for employment, Albert
Liethold yesterday negotiated with
two strangers for situation and as a
result is mourning the loss Of $40, out
of which he was buncoed by confidence
men whom he met on the Robert
street bridge. Liethold is a stranger
in the city, having reached ST. Paul
yesterday on the way to his home in
Waukon, 10. Dazzled by the promise
of regular employment at good wages
made him by the "cOn" men,, he con-
cluded not to go home but to accom-
pany the strangers to their cattle
range in Nevada. HIS accommodating
ly advanced his prospective employer
all Of the money he had saved from
labors in the harvest fields this fall
with which to purchase railroad tick
cts, and after standing around outside
of the Pioneer Press building half an
hour realized that he had been robbed.
Liethold met the principal swindler
while watching the river from the
bridge. The man was fairly we'll
dressed and showed such a pleasant
exterior when engaging the country
lad in conversation that Liethold was
wholly unsuspicious. He told the
strangers where he was from and his
destination, mentioning also that he
was desirous of getting work This
wish the stranger said he could easily
fulfill if Liethold had no objections to
going West, stating that he owned a
large ranch in Nevada to which he in
tended returning last evening with
several hands whom he had hired, after
dlsposing. of a car of cattle in this city
L1ethold was dubious about going such
a distance, but the stranger promised
him $40 month and board all winter,
and when he learned from the ranch
owner that some of the other herders
were from Waukon he decided to GO
At this juncture another confidence
man Joined the pair, deferring to the
ranch owner and pretending to be one
OF those whom had been employed
earlier in the day. This stranger spoke
gloWingly of a cattle herder's life in
Neveda, and when the ranch owner
suggested that there was but little time
to spare before the train left and it
was yet necessary to purchase trans
portation, Liethold accompanied the
swindlers to ticket office" They took
him to the Pioneer Press building,
where the rancher discovered that he
had not enough money to secure tick
cts for his entire party. He asked
Liethold to advance him any small
change which the countryman might
nave and the young man gave up $40

LlethoId was left on the street with
the other swindler, who shortly dis
covered that he had a pressing en-
gagement and also disappeared. Liet-
hold waited some time and after
searching for the men told his ex-
perience to a policeman, who sent the
young man to the central station.

So on starting out for walk about
7 o'clock. he placed the money in an
old tobacco bag, in his hip pocket. He
visited Henry Schacht's saloon at Ada
and Concord streets, where he spent
a few minutes with friends, and then
walked a block to Fritz Lehman S
place. at State and Concord streets.
AS he started to enter the door, he
felt for the tobacco bag and found 1t
still in his pocket. On second thought
he decided not to go into Lehman's,
and continued his walk home. Arriv-
ing, he found his money missing. Mr.
StenZen retraced the route Of his walk,
but could not find his lost wealth. He
is of the opinion that, as he pulled his

STILL HOLDING M'AvoY.
Knoxville, Tenn, Police Think They
Know Him.

When the case of Charles McAvoy,
alias Gordon, the alleged pickpocket
arrested at Arion hall a week ago with
supposed stolen property in his pos
session, was called in the police court
yesterday, the attorneys of the accused
made a strong effort to secure his re-
lease, but Judge Twohy decided to
hold the young man upon the informa-
tion received from Knoxville, Tenn,
where he is said to be wanted. When
McAvoy was first arrested it was
thought that the gold watch in his
possession was the time piece stolen
from A. G. Barber, a guest at the
Metropolitan hotel. Investigation show
ed this not to be the case and on the
ground that there was no valid charge
against McAvoy his release was de-
manded. Chief Schweitzer, however,
communicated with the police of other
cities following the prisoners arrest
and received a request from Knoxville
to hold McAvoy and the property found
on him until further information.

TEN DAYS IN JAIL.
Carl Schultz Is Let Off Lightly for
Larceny.

Carl Schultz, a cripple, fifty years
of age, who dwells in a houseboat and
earns a subsistence picking rags, stool
before Judge Lewis in the criminal
court yesterday. Schultz was indicted
by the last grand jury for stealing a
log from the Mississippi river. When
arraigned few days ago, he pleaded
not guilty. Yesterday he appeared and
asked permission to withdraw that
plea and enter a plea of guilty of petty
larceny. There being no objection on
the part of the county attorney, the
court granted the request.
Schultz said that he had never been
convicted of any offense before, and
that he took only one log, and took
that for fuel to keep him warm in his
houseboat on the river. Judge Lewis
deemed the case worthy of the exercise
of the clemency Of the court and i'm
posed a sentence Of ten days in the
county jail
By act of the legislature the offense
of stealing logs is constituted crime
in it's own Glass; for which the mini
mum penalty is fine Of $50 and i'm
prisonment in the county jail for a
period of ninety days. The maximum
penalty is three years in the state
prison.

BEFORE GOD AND THE ANGELS,
But the Jury Did Not Credit Fari-
bauIts Oath.

Herman Faribault, who was convict
ed on Friday last of the crime of grand
larceny in the second degree, in steal
ing goods from the shop of the Mitsch
Carriage and Wagon company, was
sentenced by Judge Lewis to spend the
next twelve months in the workhouse.
William Irving, his companion, who
pleaded guilty of the same Offense, re-
ceived a sentence of nine months in the
workhouse.
When Judge Lewis asked Faribault
what he had to say why sentence
should not be pronounced upon him,
put his right hand above his head and
declared with dramatic emphasis:
Il am not guilty of this crime.
swear before God, man and the angels
above that I am innocent
The court then imposed the sentence
as related. On the trial, Irving, who
was called as a witness, swore that
Faribault was not with him when he
took the goods, but the jury neverthe-
less believed Faribault was implicated
in the theft. Faribault was not placed
on the stand in his own defense.

The fve-year-old son of HI. Hervin,

missing from home since Sunday morn

while playing in the neighborhood, and,
as the search of the parents Sunday
failed to discover his whereabouts, the
police were yesterday asked to insti-
tute search for the boy. He was
dressed in short trousers, wore no coat,
but had on blue waist, new shoes
and black stockings. The missing lad
is light in complexion and has blue
eyes. He is very diffident, and if pick
ed up would doubtless be too much
frightened to tell where he lived.

terms of fusion. He said: 1--WE want
the Populists to understand that the
Dems demand their share of the fruits
of fusion. We have conceded the bulk
of the offices to the PopuIists. but we
think we have right to the supreme
Judgeship. and when this convention
appoints its conference committee and
adjourns for the afternoon it insists on
every delegate working with the Popu.
list brethren and urging upon them
the necessity of granting US this Of
fee" BY these remarks it was an
parent that Mr.. Dahlman anticipated
some difficulty in affecting fusion
that would be satisfactory to his party,
but his fears did not appear to be
generally shared.
The three conventions appointed
their committees and took a recess un-
til 7:30 o'clock At o'clock the dele
gates gathered in the state house
grounds and listened to addresses by
". J. Bryan, eX-Congressman Charles
A. Towne, Gen Weaver and others.
Mr.. Bryan said in substance:
The Democrats. Populists and silver
Republicans were led to cooperate last
year because they agreed in opinion
upon the subject of bi-metallism and
also agreed in the belief that the
money question was the paramount
issue before the people, if bi-metallisnl
was right. then il is right now; if il
was the paramount issue then, it is
the paramount issue now. If Cooper
alton was wise then, it is wise now.
The three parties can act together
without injury to their party organiZa-
tions: without sacrifice of principle and
without harm to each other. The
money question must be settled before
other questions can be seriously con-
sidered. To fight each other in public
in the presence of a united and un-
scrupulous enemy, would not only post
pone the restoration of bi-metallism,
but endanger the success of every
other necessary reform. Continued CO.
operation between the forces which
acted together last year does not mean
that any one Of the parties will swal-
low up the other two; simply means
that they will travel together while
they can; separate only when they
must. II means that they will place
the success of a great cause above the
temporary triumph of any party and
leave the future to determine which
organization is most worthy of public
support. In this great contest men are
only valuable as they contribute to the
success Of the cause. Personal ambi-
tions must be subordinated to the pub
lie good. The man who, here or else
where, pushes his own candidacy to
the detriment Of the cause, is unworthy
OF the office to which he aspires."

Gold Standard In India.
The British Government Takes a
Step Which May Lead to 1t.

LONDON, Sept. 1.-The following no.
tice was posted at the Bank Of Eng
land today
The secretary of state for India, in
council, gives notice that the sale of
bills Of exchange on Calcutta, Bonn
bay and Madras has been suspended
for a period of not less than ten weeks. .
The government has very little money
in India to draw on, owing to the fam
inc and the plague having rendered
the collection Of taxes slow The pres
ent time may be opportune to accustom
the Indians to the use of gold instead
of silver, though it would not have
been attempted had not the scarcity of
money arisen
The action Of the India council has
attracted but the slightest notice in the
afternoon newspapers and has not af-
fected the rate of exchange, which is
normal.

ing on the subject, says: THE deci-
sion was entirely unexpected, being the
outcome Of the financial situation in

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-The atten-
ton of the department Of state has
been drawn to the fact that the state
of Iowa has attempted TO discriminate
against foreign insurance companies
doing business in the state. AS there
were indications of similar intention
on the part of certain other states and
the matter was clearly q violation of
the treaties made with certain nations,
Secretary Sherman addressed the fol-
lowing letter to the governor of Iowa:
1T has been orally represented to
this department by the minister of
Switzerland at this capital that the
state of Iowa has laid a tax upon the
premium income Of European insur-
ance companies greater than the tax
imposed upon the premium income of
American companies. AS this action
operates TO the disadvantage of Swiss
