Make Inquiries for Leider.

Chief of Police Engelstad received q
dispatch Tuesday from Ashton, Iowa,
signed by VIM. Heistercamp, making
inquiries regarding Frank Leider, a
German tourist who created much ex.
citement in this locality early in the
week by his queer antics. Engelstad
promptly wired q response to the ef-
feet that the man had left for Sioux
City, Iowa. The affair had been aired
in the Sioux City papers and had
been seen. by Heistercamp, who is
evidently relative of the man of
mysterious actions.
Leider arrived here on No. 9 Satur-
day night from St. Paul and had a
ticket for Sioux City, Iowa. While
on the train he had pulled the bell
cord twice and other actions led to
the belief that an insane man was on
board. When the Sioux City train
pulled out of here and had proceeded
about a mile out of town the man had
jumped off, and q search was insti-
tuted for the missing passenger by
the train crew, but all that had been
discovered was a battered hat and a
railroad ticket The city police re-
ceived notice OF the loss and Chief
Engelstad spent the greater part of
Sunday looking for the man, making
a diligent search along the track for
distance of four miles and also
visiting straw stacks and places of
refuge in the surrounding country.
All inquiries failed in the discovery
of the mysterious man and finally
early Monday morning he walked in
to Willmar. The only injury he had
sustained was a slight scratch on one
of his legs. The hat and ticket had
been brought to the city by trainmen
and were left here for safe keeping un-
til the owner arrived to claim them.
Leider was put on the train Monday
afternoon and that was the last heard
OF him.
Before leaving for Sioux City Leider
appeared quite rational, and his
strange conduct at times was explained
as being due to temporary fits of in
sanity. He had been on trip to the
Pacific coast and was returning to his
home in Ashton, Iowa.
.Leider. was q man of good appear
ance and except for his unfortunate
attacks of mental alteration would
have escaped more than ordinary no.

Sudden Departure.
Too much credit besiness and lack
of capital will drive many man out
OF business. At least that is probab-
~ the main cause for the sudden de-
parture of Albert Washington and
which led him to take the steps that
were anything but agreeable to the
''butcher, the baker and the candle
stick MAKER" Washington, who
bears the name of the hero that never
told lie, adopted methods quite diff
ferent from those of whose surname
he bears in that he eluded his credit
ors in this city in manner that can
hardly be called honorable.
Washington conducted the railroad
restaurant and lodging house In the
east part of the city for some over a
month, having leased the business
from A. T. Sandbo. His departure
was so sudden that be even forgot to
make full settlement with his land
lord, Eric Faux, for the use of the
buildings which had sheltered him
during his stay in the city and also
the leaser of the business from which
the shining shekels were expected to
come forth. His forgetfulness to pay
bills is mourned by the grocer, the
baker, the butcher, the printer, and IN
fact all who had contributed in the at
tempt to make his restaurant business
successful.
One merchant Jared better than other
creditors in that he secured several
bills for collection from DELINQUENT
boarders.
Washington took his departure last
Saturday for Sioux City and his neg
lect to inform his friends of his leav-
ing resulted in no public demonstra-
ton in his honor. The business
awaits new proprietor who may per-
haps make more of q success of it
than the late lamented Washington.

4 Little MYSTERIOUS.

A demolished refrigerator car in
the railroad yards here attracted un-
usual attention this week. The car
arrived in this city as an empty one
only for the fact that it contained q
large stone which was responsible for
it's badly demolished condition and
the nature of it's lodging there nat
urally created considerable interest.
The presence OF the mammoth stone in
the car was accounted for by the fact
that it had rolled down during the
transit of the train through the noun

his resolution, presented Wednesday, to
keep all the employees but stop their pay
