Ellis Junction, Wis, JAM s-Count
Miaczynski of Galicia has come into pos
session of large stock farm, we'll
equipped with fine animals a $4,000 flour
mill and other property here, in a most
peculiar way.
The count, who is rich land owner in
Galicia, had an agent and manager named
Kratki, a Russian, who had been a trusted
employe for years. Last March Miaczyn
ski had occasion to go to Crakow with
his family, leaving the agent in charge.
When they returned Kratki was not to be
found, nor was his son, and search re-
suited in the discovery that private safe
containing money, papers and jewels was
empty. All efforts to find the fugutives
were unavailing until few weeks ago
the Russian consul at Chicago accidental
ly ran across new photograph that tai
lied with that the Russian government
bad sent broadcast after Kratkis depart
ure Inquiry proved that in April last two
Russians, the father representing himself
to be nobleman who had been exiled
for political crimes, had arrived in this
vicinity and had invested large sums in
farms, mills. etc.
The supposed nobleman's identity was
established easily as that of Kratki, and
Miaczynski was sent for. He arrived a
few days ago, recognized his former SUI
peflntendenC, ana under threats OF pun
ishment the latter decided to the count
all his possessions here In addition to
the money brought from Galicia, Kratki
had borrowed $4,000 more in this vicin-
ity, and this the count has paid off. AS
there is no treaty of extradition between
Austria and the United States for the
crime of embezzlement Kratki was not
arrested, but Is in Chicago looking for
work. The count is here running his
farm, which is a very valuable and profit
able property, and which, he says, he pur
poses to keep and manage personally
much of the time.
