He TOOK THE HORSE
For Committing Above Act Sam

Action Of Grand jury.

For the second time within q month
q horsethief. or probable horsethief,
has come to grief in our county. This
time it was one Samuel Stearns of St.
Paul or any other place who figured
as abductor.
On the 3lst OF August Stearns went
to the Glarum hotel barn, where
among 9th srs an old $50 nag belong
ing to J. J. Rivkin, q clothier in the
Larson building near the Park hotel,
was quietly partaking of his morning
meal. Sam put the bride on the nag
and unlawfully removed him out of
the said barn. Being of q somewhat
abbreviated stature he found himself
unable to mount the tall and spright
animal and he was comp elled to call
to his assistance Erick Hoglund, an
employe at the barn who, by the way,
did not suspect that anything was
wrong. By his aid. Sam managed to
''get on" and without any unneces-
sary delay he started out into the
wide and wicked world, going by way
of Atwater. When Mr.. Rivkin ar
rived in the barn at noon to admin
lister unto the wants of his faithful SER
want he found him gone. He hurried
ly informed Sheriff Lundquist of the
theft and that official. accompanied
by Deputy Sheriff Freese, at once set
out in search of Sam and his victim.
Towards evening the sheriff spied the
objects of his search and about q half
mile this side of Atwater they were
apprehended and placed under arrest.

Call New Pastor.

A special business meeting for the
purpose of calling q pastor to succeed
Rev. c. J. Collin, resigned, was held
at the Swedish Lutheran church yes
terday.
The church board had placed In
nomination three candidates for the
place, and after two informal ballots
were taken the unanimous choice fell
on Rev. B Westerlund of St. Paul.
It had been the hope of all that Rev.
Collin could have been prevailed up
Oh to finally withdraw his resignation
which had once been rejected by the
board, but as he has insisted to stand
on his resignation, the congregation
will have to reluctantly turn elsewhere
and take their loss philosophically.~
The place where Mr.. Collin has been
called is Lund, Wis to which place
the good pastor and his estimable
family will leave about the 10th Of
October next.-New London Times.

Want to Consolidate.

DR.. Ferree is busy circulating pc
tition asking for the dissolution of the
village of Paynesville and an attach.
ment of all it's territory except that
lying north of the 500 Line tracks to
the village of New Paynesville. A
majority of the residents of the vii.
lage have already signed the petition
and the doctor says that he expects
practically all of them to do likewise.
This assures the final success of the
scheme. It will be necessary for the
county commissioners to call special
election to consider the matter. The
plan is to combine the two villages
under the good old name of Paynes-
Vile, which will be great benefit and
convenience to all concerned.-Paynes-

MOSBY'S FAMOUS "RAT-TRAP"
COUP.

The sudden death at I,eeseurg, Va.
on Monday of Rev Sydney G. Fer
ruson has recalled to many veterans
and others anumber of stirring events
in which he participated during the
Civil War IS a member Of MosHy's
command Perhaps the most dariR G
episode was the one reference TO
which is made in Mosby's reminis-
cences. Among those who were IN
Charlestown, w. Va. on the eventful
autumn of 1868 when Capt Blazer and
his 100 picked fighters, sent by the
Federal government to capture Mosby
started on his tragic mission, was Mr.
A. Holmes Berry of Winchester. Mr..
Berry was mere lad but the event
made an impression upon his mind
which cauuot be erased. de said to-
day
"Tke Federal government, whose
patience had reached the limit OF en-
durance, because of Mosby's tactics,
selected 100 men, known as the pick
and flower of the whole army be-
cause of their personal bravery and
experience in scouting and Indian
warfare. They arrived in Charlestown
and after makisg several expeditions
into the country where Mosby aud his
men were Supposed to be, announced
that they had the rebel leader and his
followers bottled up and would leave
next morning to capture the whole
gang.
All Of Charlestowu turned out next
day to see the Fedsrals depart aud
while there were many fears that
Capt. Blazers prediction would prove
true and that Mosby would be captur-
ed. still there was undercurrent OF
confidence that the dashing chleftain
and his little bard OF men would be
able to take care of themselves.
Capt Blazer aud his command start
ed out from Charlestown early and
mot gone far before they overlook a
man who proved to belong to hosby 3
command Following the usual Gus
tom, a hemp rope was prodsced. a
moose made snd the lucklsss Couied-
crate was drawn up by his neck to a
convenient limb He was then let
down and was promised his life if he
would reveal the hiding place o. Mos
by. This the fellow readily consented
to do and he was placed on horse
behind trooper in the rear of the
cavaicade to point oat the way.
THE party had travelled several
miles until they reached point be-
tween Myerstown and Kabletown
when in the roadway a small body Of
mouuted men wearing Confederate
uniforms was seen a short distance
