William ]. Mclaughlin, against whom
an Indictment for arson was returned by
the. grand jury of Crow Wing county last
week, was brought to this city lest even
ing by Sheriff o. F. Erickson, Of Brain
erd. Mclaughlin was arrested sixteen
miles from Redwood Falls, where he has
been working on a farm since last Au-
gust. ri,
Mclaughlin was the buttermaker of the
Oakland creamery at Brainerd In this
capacity he had charge of the funds and
books of. the company. The creamery was
burned down three weeks ago and s., 600
worth Of property destroyed. Mclaughlin
disappeared shortly after the fire, and
suspicion Immediately fell upon him. The
officers of the company learned from va
T1ous sources that he had overdrawn his
account, and 1t is the belief that the
act was committed to cover up this. The
grand jury considered this evidence as
damaging and returned the Indictment
charging him with committing arson
While Sheriff Erickson was in the city
yesterday he ran across Alexander Short
ridges, who is said to have deserted his
wife at Brainerd. Erickson teIegraphed
to Brainerd to learn If he was wanted by
the authorities, and expects to receive an
