Goes TO KANSAS CITY.
Ed. Petersen of the Hub Makes
Lightning Change.
WILL CLOSE DENlsoN STORE
Has Leased Central Location in
Missouri Metropolis and Opens
There May LIST.

The most important announcement Of
the week in Denison business circles is
that Mr.. E. c. Petersen proposes to close
out his stock of clothing andsremove to
Kansas City. Mr.. Petersen believes
there is tide in the affairs of men which
should be taken at its flood. He was
passing through Kansas City. heard Of a
fine location that could be leased at rea-
sonable figure and without further delay
he took it. His friends hope that it will
lead on to fortune.
Those conversant. with Kansas CITY say
that Mr.. Petersen's location on Petticoat
Lane is one of the best in the city. in the
very heart of the retail district. He has
frontage of thirty-fve feet and will run an
exclusive clothing store. This means that
he will sell no gents furnishings, hats and
caps, ETC., nothing but clothing in the
strict sense of the term. He will incorpo
rate several clever and unique ideas in the
management of his store and its fittings
and we believe he will make success.
AS announced in his advertisement on
another page Mr.. Petersen has decided not
to sell his Denison stock in bulk, but TO
close it out to the people in a great sale
which will run until the entire stock is
sold.
Mr. Petersen came to Denison 10 1898
as member of the firm of Judd & Peter
sen. He opened business in the corner
store now occupied by Mr.. J. G Wygant.
From the first the firm did good bust
ness and it was not long before Mr.. Pc
tersen bought Mr.. Judd's interest. Later
he moved to his present location in the
Goldheim block, where he has enjoyed an
ever increasing trade.
Coming here comparatively poor man,
he has made notable success. He has a
fine, large stock of goods here, all of which
we're bought for cash; he has money in
the bank and has been able during the
last years of his stay here, especially, to
enjoy life without Gripping his finances
Mr.. Petersen is jolly, good-natured man.
but withal. he has shewd eye for busi-
ness. He has had experience in Milwau.
kee, Chicago and Sioux City, SO that he
goes to his new field with the experiences
of both city merchant and country
merchant behind him
Mrs. Petersen, who is also frst-clas S
| business man." will remain in Denson
TO superintend the closing out of the Den
ison stock, and the former clerks, Messrs.
Huettman and Smutney, will also remain
Mr.. Fred Soehl, who formerly worked
for Mr. Petersen, likes the business so
| we'll that he has given up his college
course at Iowa City and will go with Mr..
Petersen to Kansas City.
THE REVIEW wishes Mr.. Petersen and
his estimable wife the best possible good
fortune in their new home. They have
worked hard for success and they will
doubtless have to work hard to make an
impress in city go large as Kansas
! City, but we believe they are fully equal
to the task. The location now occupied
by the Hub" is the old established
clothing corner of Denison and it will
undoubtedly be occupied by some similar
firm when Mr.. Petersen finally closes his
business

THE LAW OF FINDING.
Against All save the owner the Find>
er's Title Is Perfect.

er's Title Is Perfect.
In common law finding is qualified
source of title to goods and chattels.
Briefly, the law is that the finder has q
clear title against all the world, except
ing the owner. The proprietor of
right to demand property found on his
premises. Such proprietors may make,
in regard to lost articles, regulations
which will bind their employees, but
they cannot bind the public.
The law of finding was declared by
the kings bench more than hundred
years ago (when it was the supreme
court Of common law in England) as
follows:
A person found wallet containing q
sum of money on a shop floor. He
handed the wallet and contents to the
shopkeeper to be returned to the own.
er. After three years, during which
the owner did not call for his property,
the finder demanded of the shopkeeper
the wallet and the money. The latter
refused to deliver them upon the
ground that they were found on his
premises. The finder then sued the
shopkeeper, and it was held, as stated
above, that, against all the world save
the owner, the title of the finder Is per-
feet. The finder has indeed been held
to stand In the place of the owner.
Thus A prevailed in an action against
| B, who found an article which A had
originally found, but subsequently lost.
The police have no especial rights in
regard to articles lost unless these
rights are conferred by statute. Receiv-
ers of articles found are trustees for
the owner or finder. In the absence of
special statute they have no power to
keep an article against the finder any
| more than finder has to retain an ar
| ticle against the owner.
finder must, however, use every
reasonable means to discover the own.
| er of found goods before appropriate.
Ing them to his own use. 1t has been
declared that If the finder knows the
] owner or knows that he can discover
him he is guilty of larceny in keeping
OF appropriating to himself the ard.
cles found.

Soren Sorensen, Kimballton's great
and only travelling man, had an ac-
cident last week which cost him his
fine horse. While he was leading the
animal down the street it became
frightened and jerked away from
him. 1t threw itself into barbwire
fence and began kicking cutting
itself frightfully. Then it pulled
itself loose and in doing so broke off
about a hundred feet of wire and
started down the main thoroughfare
of Kimballton on mad race. When
people saw the long wire rolling
from one side of the street to the
other they cleared out and gave the
horse free swing. 1t ran to the Kim
baliton schoolhouse then reversed
and headed for the bridge. Here it
hurled itself into the creek in vain
effort to drown it's troubles. 1t was
later eXtricated but as horse is
practically valueless. The travelling
| man will have to walk now or else
buy wheelbarrow.
Elk Horn and Kimballton people
will be surprised and saddened to
hear of the death of Rev. FL. j. Pet
ersen at Rushton, Minnesota, Thurs
day July 20.Rev. Petersen's work as
minister and president of the
college at Elk Horn from 1880 to
1882 left an indelible impress on this
community. He went from here to
Ashland, Mich. and later to Danebod,
MINI. where he continued in his
work of educating and ministering
to the spiritual needs of his people.
In 1903 he removed to Ruthton, MINI.
but his work was not to continue
long as his final illness soon overlook
him. Rev. Petersen was man of I'M

with deep convictions of right and
wrong, and an overwhelming desire to
work continuously for the betterment
of his fellow-man. He was great
