Superior, Wis. Dec. S.-Homer 7. Fow-
Ter of the Superior Board of Trade an
nounces that he will force the question Of
Minnesota or Wisconsin inspection to an
issue next week. He says that he Will
swear out warrants for the officials of the
state of Minnesota who are operating ana
inspecting wheat in the city of, Superior.
They are using Minnesota inspection, when
a law exists in this state for Wisconsin
inspection. and he says that he Will see
that it is enforced and that he will drive
the Minnesota officials out Of the state.
In signed statement Fowler says that
last Wednesday he started taking grain
from the sample bags for the purpose OF
having some evidence against the Mime
sofa officials, and that they came back at
him with the charges that he doctored the
samples of flax hanging on the outside OF
the cars and then bought the fax at a
lower grade than it really was. He says
that this attack was caused by the IN
vestigation that will result in the arrest on
Dec Is of the Minnesota grain officials
operating here or at least, the swearing
out Of warrants. 1t is admitted by the
persons who made the charges against
Fowler that they have no proof, they as
sorting that. altho they saw him doctoring
samples, they cannot show that he bought
any cars on these doctored samples The
state of Minnesota has no right here, so
1t is claimed that nothing can be done.

his claim that Superior is disseminated

Webster City, Iowa. Dec s.-George
MacKown, the deposed manager of the
Northwestern Felt Shoe factory of this
city, has been indicted by the grand jury
on the charge of embezzlement. The
amount, -of the theft with which he is
charged is not known.
MacAoWn is supposed to be somewhere
in British Columbia The Canadian gov
ernment' will be asked to honor requisition
papers and it is expected that the alb
scondng manager will soon be returned.
Shortly after the fire~on June Is which to-
tally destroyed the Northwestern Felt
Shoe company's plant in this city, Mac
kown suddenly disappeared, About a
month ago the furniture and personal be-
longings: were taken from his beautiful
home and sold at public auction to satisfy
a mortgage. of $1,000 held by the Hamilton
County. State bank. s- "E s
The embezzlement with which he il
charged is alleged to have been committed
in correction with the buying Of large
bills of goods; in the east. During the re-
cent session of the grand jury George
Burns of New York city was the stal
witness in securing the indictment. Wher
the, case is brought to trial Mr.. Burns
will again have. to be brought to Webster

Ever since MacKown mysteriously dis
appeared from the city the officials Of tn.

were not straight: A committee of stock

unable to prove anything. however, ant
the matter rested there. The company wa
recognized after the fire and is now oper

If MacKown is ever brought back hi
trial will be one Of the hardest Tough
here for many a year.
Beside the indctm emit pending agains
