standard by which to reckon the in

Captured an Embezzler.

John C. Berg, wanted at Warsaw,
Wisconsin, for the embezzlement of
ST., 047.26 of the funds of Marathon
County, while County treasurer in
1884, was found at Simpsons shingle
mill by Sheriff Vogtlin, Tuesday, and
taken into custody. He had been
traced all along his course to this
country and finally located at Matlock
by letters with that postmark which
reached his family. Warrants were
sent to Sheriff vogtlin,' who, after
searching all of Simpsons camps in
that vicinity, finally located his man
in the person of John Carlson, car
penter employed at the shingle mill
Berg, admitted that he was the per-
son wanted and made no resistance,
probably feeling that it was best to
''face the music" 1t appears that the
missing funds was in the form of
notes, for which he could not account.
His property in Warsaw has been
taken and he says the authorities now
want him. The sheriff of Marathon
county is now on the way, and will
probably reach Shelton today, for his
prisoner, who is in custody of Sheriff
Vogtlin.
Berg left Warsaw last spring, and
has been at work at the Single Mill
since last October, being good car
penter. his employers regret to lose
him. Berg is an intelligent appearing
Norwegian about As years of age, and
has wife and children back in Wis
consin. "The way of the transgressor
is hard" as most of them find out, al
though Berg may be the victim of
friends
With their usual gall the Seattle
police are throwing boquets at them
selves for this capture, but the credit
belongs to our efficient Sheriff Vogtlin.
That distress after eating is cured
by Hoods Pills. They do not grippe.
