In chambers before Judge Smith,

from VanWagenen Offering to pur-
chase the land. After some cores
pondence a fellow by the name of

to be in Los Angeles, Jal., appeared
here and claimed to have the land for
sale and under his control, also hav-
ing in his possession a deed signed
by Miss Mead, with a blank space
for filling in the name Of the grantee.
He entered into negotiations with
VanWagenen for its sale, but the
latter declined to make a purchase

THE HOLINESS MEETINGS
Services Held Saturday and Sunday
Were Well Attended and I'm
pressive in Character.

The services Of the Holiness camp
meeting on Saturday we're uplifting
and inspiring and began with the
prayer meeting at 8 a. M, lead by
M. r. Goldie, scripture lesson being
found in John Is, 1-S, The vine and
the branches. At 1890 Rev. M. R.
Baldridge preached from Heb. 9: 4.
CHOW shall we escape il we neglect
so great salvation" The emphasis
was placed on the greatness. first Of
its author and second OF its work.
Prof. and Mrs. CHM have charge
of the music at all services. At $3.50
after u song service, DR.. Morrison
preached from Isaiah So: IL. "The
Lord shall guide thee continually and
SATISFY thy soul in drought etc. The
atonement provides for continued
happy Christian experience. The
Lord won't drive or drag men in
spiritual things but will guide them
when consecrated to Him, though
they may be tested at times. They
will be like a we'll wate1ed garden,
with a pipe line from the throne
above to the sitting room Of the
heart. At 7:45 p. m. was held the
song service, after which DR.. Nor
1ison preached from Matt. 81: 5.
she cast down the pieces of silver
etc. He loved silver more than he
loved Jesus. People are doing that
today.
The Sunday services we're begun
with the Love Feast at $50 a. m.
with Rev. j. E. Norvell leader.
Three or four short selections OF
scripture were read and a good
meeting resulted. At 1880 DR..
Morrison preached at M. Z. church
to a full house on Matt. 3: II. 81 in
deed baptise you with water etc."
1t was an able exposition Of the bap-
tism Of the Holy Ghost. AT the close
OF the service almost the entire con-
greg alton stood up in response to the
invitation for all who desired it to
stand. At 2:30 the song service was
led by Prof. and Mrs. CHM. after
which Or. Morrison preached from
Heb. u: 14-l7. Esau for one morsel
of meat sold his birthright etc. A
strong plea was made for living liz
the higher realm Of cur being, and
a terrible arraignment followed for
/ those who chose fine lower At 7.ds
after song service DR. Morrison
preached from Romans 8: 7-S. The
OF God etc. The carnal mind makes
our peace intermittant, binders our
usefulness and often makes US a dis
! appointment to ourselves.

Robbery,

John Bell and Glen Waldorf are
the names of the two young men who
held up Postmaster Smith on the
night OF June % and relieved him
Of 500 in cash and 1920 in postage
stamps. '.rhey were arrested at Min
neapolis on Wednesday of last week
along with some other suspicious char
acters who we're found in a rooming
house. They were subjected to the
sweatbox treatment by the police
officers and after one or two trying
ordeals the men broke down COM
pletely and made a full confession OF
the robbery. Such is the story as re-
lated by the Minneapolis Journal.
The men claim Cherokee, Iowa, as
their home and had been in Mime.
apolis but a short time. The men
stated that after comm itting the rob-
berry they hid a part of the plumber
near Loomis, and made their way to
Minneapolis. Shortly after the rob-
berry the government officers got on
the track of the men and followed
them to Minneapolis and then COM
menced to round up many suspic-
ious characters and in the drag net
these men were found. Superinten-
dent Doyle, acting on the confession
that the men had hidden a portion
OF the fruits Of the robbery, tele-
graphed the town marshal at LOOMS
where the stuff could be located,
and he went to the home Of the
father Of Bell, near LOOMS. and
found a part Of the money was in
small change and had to be left be-
hind because OF its bulkiness.
Saturday afternoon Bell and Wal
dorf were taken before United States
Court Commissioner Abbott in Min
neapolis for their preliminary exam
ination, and when the complaint was
read to them they both acknowledge
ed their guilt and stated that they
were ready to receive immediate SEN
tencc. The commissioner informed
them, however, that they could not
be sentenced at the preliminary
hearing, but that he would have to
bind them over to the term Of fed
real court, which would be held at
Sioux Falls in October. The men
were placed under bonds Of SO, 00o
each.
Postmaster Smith will not be such
a heavy loser as was first anticipted
and he will be happy over this fact.

unless Miss Mead would give Evans a
power Of attorney to fill in the name
CT the grantee. VanWagenen wrote
out the power of attorney and sent
1T to the address of Miss Mead, and
Evans departed. Later Evans APP
peared on the scene having in his pos
session the power of attorney pur-
porting to be signed by Miss Meade,
and the deal was consummated and
the deed turned over to Van Wagon
en-. Tom Evans was the notary be-
fore whom the power of attorney
was attested concerning the signat-
ure OF Miss Meade. In her testimony
Miss Meade stated that she did not
sign the deed held by EWagenen
and that she never received the COM
munication addressed to her for sig
nature to the power of attorney nor
did she aver sign such a paper. She
furthermore asserted in her evidence
that she never saw or knew a man
representing himself as Thos. Evans,
and that she never authorized him
to transact any business for her. She
claimed both signatures were iorger-
les. 1t was shown in court that Evans
was not and never had been a notary
public In the state of California.
Three or four bankers in the city
were called upon as experts to exam
Inc the signature of Miss Mead and
from other documents signed by her
they expressed the opinion that in
general the signatures we're alike.
Prof. o. w. Coursey and a brother Of
Miss Mead from Nebraska also ex-
amined the signatures and both gave
it as their opinion that her name was
forged to the deed and the power Of
attorney. Judge Smith made a
thorough examination Of the sig
natures under a microscope and rem
dered his decision that the sigma
lures were forgeries, and in this de-
cision he quieted the title to the
land.
E. L. Ryburn, of Alexandria, con-
nected with one Of the banks, was
interested in the outcome Of the case
for he had loaned VanWagenen 81, 100
on the land, to which it was sup
posed he had the deed.
Evans has never been heard from
since and cannot be found anywhere.
Miss Mead departed for her home
Saturday morning.
P. A. Zollman, Of Alexandria, was
che attorney for Miss Mead, and e.
E. Wagner, of Alexandria, was the
attorney for MI. VanWagenen.
