HIS FAMILY WAS STARVING.

cute Thief Who Stole Wheat From

LeMars, Feb. 1O.--George Nuss-
baum, farmer living about three
miles north of town refused to prose-
cute man who stole some wheat from
his farm the other day. The man who
took the wheat lives in LeMars' and
went out to the Nussbaum farm and
helped himself to two sacks of wheat.
He was evidently judge of wheat as
he took Georges finest seed wheat
from a selection The theft was com
mitted in broad daylight and the thief
was probably aware Mr.. Nussbaum
was in town that day. A young son
of Mr.. Nussbaum saw the man driving
away and told his father about 1T, and
gave an adequate enough description
so that the man was tracked. The
thief took the wheat to the Plymouth
mill and exchanged 1t for some corn
meal. When taxed with the theft he
pleaded the fact that he could get no
credit in the stores in town. The man
had a wife and several small children
and Mr. Nussbaum refused to prose-
cute, say, & the man wanted bread for
the children, but adding that If the
man had blown the money for whisky
or on himself he would not have spar
ed him at all. The man promised to
work out the amount at some future
time when farm work opens.

that the total value of India rubber
imports in the period 1SS4-1904 is, in
