GOT THREE TYPEWRlTERs.
NOW Il Warrant Is Out Charging
Fred Middleton With .Larcerv


warrant is out for the arrest of Frederick
H. Middleton, of 452 Aurora avenue, wanted
to answer the charge of stealing three type
writer's.
1t is alleged that he secured a machine from
the st. Paul agents Of the Remington and
afterwards pawned it to George R. Holmes
Tor $50. The Smith Premier agent allowed
MIN to take a machine on trial, and this he
pawned in Minneapolis. 1t is also claimed
that he secured an Oliver typewriter from the
Minneapolis agent Of that company in the
same way, and afterwards pawned it; where,
1t is not known.
Middleton is we'll known here and his friends
believe that he is suffering from a mental
disorder and claim that he has been acting
strangely for some time. He has been on the
road for severa, local firms, and is well known
among the travelling men. Being known to
the typewrite agents he had no difficulty in
securing the machines.
A typewriter was found yesterday in the
pawnshop Of George R. Holmes, the machine
being. the property of Wykoff seamans &
Benedict. 1t had been pledged for $50, and it
is thought that the machine is the one which
the firm leased to Middleton.
