| LOG STEALING SCHEME.
IGENIOUs ATTEMPT TO DE
FRAUD LUMBERMEN. n

Louis Harmon Of Anoka, and q.
friend ot.his named Ball, are fugitives
from jutsice, the result Of the DIG
covery Of their plan to steal loge.
Harmon IL son Of Rus Harmon,
for years an employe Of the Boom
company, and well known along the
river. The younger Harmon was in
the employ Of the company several
seasons. His closest friend was q man
from Hibbing named Ball.
Last fall the two formed the firm of
Harmon & Ball, and gave 1t out that
they were going to log on the upper
Mississippi. They registered with
the surveyor general at Minneapolis
their log mark "a girdle bee-I. B.
In the spring they made a contract to
sell Carpenter & Lamb of Minneapolis
247, 900 feet Of logs at $11 per NJ.
About two months ago the pair
commenced operations. They lived
part of the time in q cabin on the
river.bank five miles sonth of kittle
Falls, and part Of the time at New
mans hotel in Royalton. They pre-
tended to be doing Typographical
survey work for the government, also
looking up deadheads.
The method was to pick out the best
logs, hew off the bark ma rk, put on
the I. B. mark, obliterate the old
stamp on the end and stamp on theirs.
Toward the last week in June Dell
Gordon, q Boom employe, saw the
men at WORK near the Royalton
bridge, and suspe cted something
wrong. The company's officers were
notified. and Immediately Investigate
ed. Part of the logs reached Mime,
apolis; and the "irm'' OF Harmon
& Ball asked for payment. The
peculiar appearance Of the logs caused
suspicion, and it being learned that
no logs had been banked or scaled
where it was claimed they had come
from-no payment was made. The
two men, suspecting trouble, quit
work.
President Chute Of the Boom com
pany swore out.. "a warrant last week.
and Sheriff Tanner notified the
Anoka authorities. Harmon was ar.
rested July 23d, but escaped from the
deputy sheriff of Anoka county, and
is still at large
The attempt to steal was ingenious
in theory. but clumsy, as it wal
practically certain to be discovered al
Minneapolis sooner or later

PAYNE ON TULLOCH'S LETTER
Charges Have Been Referred to the Blu
reaus Eaying Jurisdiction.

Washington, May 10. y Postmas
ter General Payne has sent letters to
the comptroller of the treasury, the
auditor OF the postofice department
and other officials Of his department
calling their attention to statements
made by ex-Cashier Tulloch in his
communication. Tie letters ask for
amy explanation OF further infOrma-
ton that might throw light on the sub
ject. The formal charges of TullOch,
Payne said, have been dissected, and
the matter relating to particular
branches of the service has been re-
ferred to the bureaus having jurisdic-
ton for report Payne said that he
regarded the charge against the audi
tor and the comptroller as the most
serious of the allegations.
He said that if those officials sal
or suppressed what might be called
pay dirt has been found" the charges,
he said, impugning their good faith
and integrity Payne pointed out a
difference which existed between
charges of irregularity and of actual
violation of law. "A government Of
fcial," he said, may buy something
which he has no authority to purchase,
and no authority to pay for, but the
government gets the use of the article,
nevertheless. Irregularities do not nee
essarily mean anything unlawful. The
department may pay out Of the wrong
fund, either by accident or by design,
It that need not be unlawful"
The postmaster general was asked
regarding the charges against former
First Assistant Postmaster General
Perry Heath and George w. Beavers,
formerly chief of the division of sal
aries and allowances, and as to what
effect the fact that they were out Of
the service would have in the consid-
Grafton of these cases. Il have moth
ing to do" replied the postmaster gen
eral. with the personal relations be-
tween Mr.. Tulloch and Indiana poll
ticians, nor with his hatred for the
postmaster of Washington or others.
If any improper act was done by any
one now in office or by any one who is
not now in office, so far as it might
reflect on the department, we will in
vestigate it"

DRUGGED AT CHICAGO
Drops Unconscious, and Those Who Pick
Hinl Up Believe He Had Been
Robbed.

Chicago, May 19.-Clutching a Bible
in his right hand and lying PROSTATE
in the waiting room Of the Polk street
station, an unconscious man was found
by the Harrison street police and
taken to the county hospital. He did
not regain consciousness until mid
night, and physicians said he had been
''doped" by choral or knockout"
drops.
On the inside of the Bible which the

learned that the man lives in Virginia,
and was on his way to the Illinois
town to visit his brother, Caesar
Klaus. The man had no money, jew
elry or other valuables, and on this
fact the police base their belief that
he was held up and robbed.

in 1904.
Omaha, Neb., May 19.-The Omaha
World-Herald, edited by r. l.. Met
calfe, the closest personal friend W. j.
Bryan has in the west, publishes a
three-column editorial, ewing notice
that if the reorganizers in the Demo
cratic party obtain control the Bryan
wing will suppo Roosevelt for pres
ident in the next campaign.
The editorial says that President
Harrison was a great and pure man,
that the Democrats were deceived

Roosevelt and trying to elevate Grover

destined to become the gauge Of battle
between the Bryan supporters and
those of Grover Cleveland, or to bring

Washington, May 19.-Second AS
sistant Postmaster General Shallen-
berger has directed that Syend Schibs-
by, railway postal clerk at Kansas
City, show cause why he should not be
dismissed for promoting suits against
the government for travelling expenses
of postal employees. There are 5000
railway post clerks in the country, and
the purpose is to prevent widespread

ton OF a claim which the department
regards as preposterous.
How the T.. O. Views the Case.
The position of the postoffice depart
ment is that the designated headquar-
tiers of these clerks is the route on
which their runs are made, and not
the city or town where they may hap
pen to live. A case is now pending in
the court of claims in this city invOlv-
ing this question of their travelling ex-
penSeS. Shallenberger has sent the
following letter to Captain James u.
White, general superintendent Of the
railway mail service:
Action Was Suggested by White.
referring TO your letter of the 18th
inst, suggesting that the action of
Svend Schibsby, the suspended postal
clerk in the Kansas City and Yelling
ton railroad postoffice, in attempting to
act as attorney for railway postal
clerks in bringing suits against the
government fer travelling expenses is
in violation Of section 549S, revised
statutes, you are required to call upon
Mr.. Schibsby to show cause why he
should not be dismissed from the serv-
ice for his action in the matter. When
his reply shall have been received the
question will be given consideration as
to whether it is proper to bring the
matter to the attention of the depart
ment CT justice"
