There are many other honest ways Of

Resorted to by j. s. CavanauRh,
a Northern Pacific
Gar Clerk.
HE IS UNDER ARREST
A Clear Case Against Forged
Checks Found on His Per-
sOn-An AccOmplice.

Not content with salary of $50
month, on which he could not grow
rich as fast as he desired, j. s. Cava-
naugh. car clerk at the Northern Pa.
cific freight office in this city, ,resorted to
robbery and forgery and today occupies
a cell in the county Jail with the
chances Of going to the penitentjary
for long term strong against him.
Last night Cavanaugh stole ten pay
checks from Agent Kennedy's desk
and after forging signatue cashed
two of them. one on Frank Rademaker
for $50 and the other OH Vale & Potter
for $47.5O. What has become of the
other eight is not known, but they are
supposed to be around town somewhere,
unless in the possession Of one j. NJ
Savage, a friend Of Cavahaugh, and a
former brakeman on the Rocky Fork
branch Besideds these, Cavanaugh
had three checks for sums ranging from
$40 to $40 drawn on the First National
bank. to which he had forged the name
of H. N. Kennedy. Whether or not
he had been unable to cash them is not
known.
CavanauRh apparently thought he
cold evade detection, but he reckoned
wrong. His work started all right,
but it ended coarsely. The pay checks
were stolen from Agent Kennedy's
desk, which had been locked, but was
broken open. At about 9:30 last night
Cavanaugh went to the opera house,
where Mr.. Kennedy was seeing the
play, and secured the key to the latter's
office for the purpose Of getting some
stationery. Returning to the freight
house he went into the Office and Sc.
cured the stationery, returning to the
clerical Office, where two employees
were sitting. These he sent from the
building on some pretense and then he
proceeded to break open Agent Ken.
nedy's desk in the latter's private
room, knowing that yesterday being
pay day it contained the checks Of EN-
ployes. He first attempted to pry the
desk open by means of Ratchet, but
it beingsa rolled top with aVcovered
lock, he failed. He then proceeded to
break open the top1near the lower left
hand corner and succeeded in making
hole large enough TO thrust his hand
in, when he secured the batch Of checks
which had been unoalled for. His
next move was to open the window so
as to make it appear some one had
gained entrance in that way. Cava.
naugh then visited the saloons where
he Dashed the checks, after which he
went to the resort kept by Eta Feeley,
where he was arrested.
The discovery Of the robbery was
made by Agent Kennedy at about II 80
last night. He usually goes to the
freight house before retiring for the
night and on doing SO and going into
his Office. discovered that his desk had
been broken into. An investigation
proved that several of the railroad pay
checks were missing and he surmised
at once that it must have been done by

The r.ries.Iy Doctor

Howard Democrat: Frank Smith
came up from Epiphany Wednesday
night after some railing aud other finish
ings for the hotel which he is helping
to build down there. He told the Dem
ocrat that before DR.. Kroeger left for
Paris he called him in and let him look
at $4,000 in gold which he shipped to
New York city for deposit. Frank said
it was the most gold he had seen at any
n time since leaving the army where
the paymaster handled it very carelessly,
aud he hadn't much heart to go back to
work at $3.50 per. day. Kroeger has
money 10 burn. He took $500 along
with him for pocket change.

PukWana Press: Vincent Wellner
declares that the dcsease that has been
killing off the cattle in.this locality tile
past three weeks is anthrax. And he
says that it islt't the first time that it
has infested this country. Ten years ago
this spring, Vincent tells the Press, he
lost IS head with anthrax. He then
lived in Smith township, and he made
the malady a study at the time. The
stock that died were yearllng and two
year old steers. The symptoms were
precisely the same as are in the stock
that have been dying here. He is
positive that it will stay in the ground,
because after he moved away fro!h the
place where his stock seemed to have
taken the disease, Robert Stewart had
some stock infected with it. Some
years later John Ryan lost cattle Of the
same disease that herded on the same
ground.

BAD Luck win stock.

Bad LUCK With stock.
The mysterious disease which has tax.
en- over fifty head of cattle on ranches
near Pukwana has somewhat abated,
j. S. Sanborn has been the heaviest loser.
1t is still a question what the disease is.
Some call 1t b~lackleg, others anthrax,
and poison is suggested. At first it was
supposed the malady was confined ex-
clusiyely to cattle watered out Of Amer
lean creek, but since then stock have
died away from the creek. Three horses
n Pukwana have died from the same dis.
ease. Stock taken with the malady live
but a few hours, and there is no recovery
when ono taken with it.

some Rase Hail.

The Gannvallcy club came down from
the land Of cattle ranches a week ago
this Friday, and skinned tho town boys
at the great national game to the tune
OF 10 to 16. To the casual observer, it
looked as! though they were capable Of
beating the home team even verse, but
what the boys in the country possessed
in weight, the city lads partly made UP
In ginger and grit. They pulled out
from what seemed for some innings a
hopeless game almost a winning score.
Both teams played at times some good
ball; ut other times the errors were
rotten enough to mako q man walk knee
deep through nine miles of snow and
bite his little sister. Horsemen say that
a PAGER or a trotter without brains isn't
worth his feed. Rattleheadedness is the
cause Of ten errors by amateur ball play
ers where lack of skill causes one. If
there is one feature or e game which
gives scores to the other fellows more
than another-in amateur ball playing
II IS the practice of trying to head off a
base runner when circumstances make
such a move impossible Of success. 1t
usually means either a wild throw or a
muffed ball and further advancement OF
the base INNER. Unless the player is
sure Of his play he should invariably
field the ball to the inheld or hold it till
he knows where he is at. Both mines
which played Friday are capable Of put
ting up an interesting game and which
can sooner be brought about by more
practice in fielding and better team
work. They have a lot OF good batters-
the Kimball club surprisingly good COLI

captain will just get at some OF them
with a stuffed club in fielding work,

Fire completely destroyed Arthur Nc

day evening of last week. 1t is another
case of the little boy and the match
The barn was a mass Of flames when dia,
covered and past saving. Fortunately
there was no wind and the other build.
tngs were not injured. The barn was
empty OF wagons and stock, and the loss
wa confined almost wholly to the struc-
ture. There was no insurance, and il
means a loss Of several hundred dollars
The structures burned consisted of two
frame barns, n 24x26 and one 25x2S
built high with good hay mows, and one
one-st0ry barn 20x40.
Last summer Mr.. Mckee was laid up
the greater part of the time with n badly
injured hand, the result Of an accident
with a threshtng machine, and be after
wards suffered the amputation of a fin
ger. About two months ago he had u leg
broken from the kick of a vicious heifer
and has been fiat on his back sincs-a
time OF year when he is usually active
about his work. This makes his loss by
fire all the worse. A subscription paper
was started in town Saturday for the
purpose Of raising a fund to partly re.
imburse Mr.. Mckee for the loss OF his
barn, and which vas generally and
literally responded to. James Boyd cir
cnlated the paper, at last accounts there
being SOL on it, and Mr.. Mckee feels ex-
ceedingly grateful to him and to all
others who showed their kindness In his
trouble. more than he can express in
words.

could not keep the people away flom the
attractive summer evening fete, but the
crowd scattered in a hurry when the big
drops came bounding down shortly
after. The ladies were able, however, to
gather in about $40 in nickles and
dimes before the storm burst. The

hour or two longer, the ladies would
have made q nice little sum. Better
