Scouts Theory of Foul Play.

Miss johnson, teacher of this city, was in
terviewed today regarding the reports that have
her parents. who disappeared SO mysteriously
from Warroad, Roseau county, MIMI, little
over two years ago. She says:
"My parents came to the United States from
Canada thirty two years ago, and have lived and
owned land in Iowa, Texas, Wisconsin, Mime
sofa and Michigan. I had filed on claim near
Badger, Roseau county, and as the city schools
here to close, I wrote to father at
Warroad that I would like to have him and
mother spend the summer vacation with me. He
replied asking whether hod bean n
country and had never heard of such place in
Manitoba, thought that his question was one Of
his jokes, knowing as I did that an unmarried
woman could not hold a homestead in Canada.
did not, therefore, answer the question directly.
He had said also in his letter that if it was
Badger in Minnesota that he and mother would
have to 60 around as she was not equal to the
trip thru the swamp between Warroad and Badg-
er, MINI.
''As soon as school was out went to the lat
ter place and found that the folks We're not and
had not been there. I then thought Of the ques-
ton in his last letter regarding the town In
Manitoba, and made inquiries about it. I found
there was such place. I saw the mistake that
had made and set out to find the folks and have
been hunting them ever since.
II have crossed and recrossed that section Of
the country in my endeavor to locate them, but
all to no avail, and yet do not believe they have
been foully dealt WITH as has been limited at.
~ went to Warroad where they We're last
heard from and made inquiries Several there
had seen them, and babe them goodbye, but when
l asked If they had seen them get upon the
train, I always heard the same answer, no.
THAT Is the curious part Of it. There were
letters sent them from four members of the
family. and these without a forwarding order.
We're sent to Beaudette Duluth, Koochiching and
finally to the deadletter office, from which they
were returned to the writer's.
II am of the opinion that for some reason my
folks left Warroad in disguise, probably be-
cause they had money with them. Not having
received word from any of us they may also have
thought that we had forsaken them.
II am still prosecuting the search and T be.
lleve that 1 will clear up the mystery in a
few days."

CASTLEWOOD'S
SEAT IMPERILED
MERGER OF HAMLIN AND COOLING.
TON REACHES THE COURTS.
Judge of Watertown Circuit Must De-
eide Whether the Proposition Can Be
Voted Upon-Castlewoo Now Ready
to Aid County in Building Courthouse.
Special to The Journal,


Watertown, S. D., Sept. 1.-THE matter Of
the consolidation Of Hamlin and Codington coun.
ties is in the courts, and it depends upon the
decision Of Judge Marquis whether or not tho
proposition will be placed upon the ballots ut
the general election this fall.
The workers in favor of consolidation succeed
ed getting a sufficient number of signers to a
petition to the board of county commissioners Oh
Hamlin county praying that the matter be sub
mitted to the voters. When Castlewood learned
Of this it circulated counter petition and in
duced large number of voters to withdraw theil
names from the first petition. The consolida
ton forces have now applied to the court for an
order compelling the county auditor of Hamlin
county to place the proposition the ballots
on the ground that the signer, once having placed
his signature to petition, cannot Withdraw it.
The agitation of the question has forced Castle
wood to take active steps toward the erection
Of courthouse. Twenty-six years ago,
Hamlin county was organized, and since that
time the county offices have been in wooden
building without fire protection. Citizens OF
Castlewood have signed a common agreement
| whereby they pledge themselves to use all hon
orable means to induce the city tosbond for So:
600 to build a new courthouse, and, in case o.
failure to do So to pay personally the sum OF
$4,000. This proposition contains the provision
| that the county must raise $4,000 more for the
new buildings
