the mill has, and the long line was

line. well laden with eatables ice,
lemons, etc. 1t is safe to predict that
the company will be a gamer for the
interest shown in its employees.

Martin Murray's whereabouts are
still unknown. Chief Bruels and
Sheriff Gerlich returned last night
from Winnebago City without their
man. They learned that Murray had
been there the evening before, in a
somewhat intoxicated state, with a
bottle of beer in his pocket. He called
on certain woman of his acquaint-
ance, and in this way his presence
became known. Parties who knew
that he was wanted telepho1ied to the
authorities in Mankato, and word was
sent back to arrest Murray. He had
gone before the marshal could execute
the order. Messrs. Bruels and Gerlach
spent yesterday searching in all di-
rections
In justice to Geo. Atchison, proprie-
tor of the hack line, it should be stat
ed that he supposed that Dick Graves
was a good man and he never had any
complaint of him before Mr. Atchi-
son states that he did not learn of the
affair until Saturday evening, and
that he was astounded He secured a
confession from Graves and got him
to make statement to the officials
Mr.. Atchison has not engaged an at
torney for Graves.
The officials have notified the officers
in towns in all directions to be on
the lookout for Murray, and it seems
as though he ought to be rounded up
before the week is out.
This afternoon party at Winnebago
City telephoned to Sheriff Gerlich
that Martin Murray had been captured
and asked what should be done with
him. The sheriff was little sus-
picious and called up the marshal
at Winnebago City and found that he
knew nothing about it and that Muir
ray had not been captured.

year of Cyr's and a new book in the
