Reads Like A Novel.

"A warrant was issued Tuesday
at the request OF Mrs. Claud Nc
Callister for the arrest OF her
husband who has deserted her.
According to the state law. Nc
Callister cannot be punished for
taking the woman's $1,000 but
he can be sent to the peniten-
tiary for DESERVING her. 1t is be-
lleved thut he is in Idaho Tor a
letter has been found written to
him by woman in Idaho asking
him to join her and assist in
conducting a rooming house.
McCalllster was born in Missouri
close to the home OF the girl
whom he afterwards married,
and was always steady fellow
IN his youth. When he grew to
manhood he went west and was
absent seven years. Then he got
INTO bad company. He returned
to. the home Of his boyhood a
year ago and the girl friend Of
his youth married him little sus-
pecting that he had acquired bad
habits. The story reads like a
novel and ends like one.

CARPIO BLACKSMITH
IS INSANE

Peter Scenell. q Carpio black
smith, went suddenly insane Sat-
,irday evening and started for
the country. He slept in straw
l,iles and near Foxholm he dug a
hole in the ground and built a
lire in it. He imagines that he
is working for a telephone com
.',any. The old man has been
addicted to the use OF whiskey
for thirty wears and this is be-
iieved to be the cause of his in
sanity. He was brought to Mi
not Tuesday by FL. Sandahl,
s'arpio's constable and placed in
j5til. The authorities hardly
know what to do with him but
it is probable that he will have
i trial and found insane and sent
TO the asylum. Scenell has been
located at Carpio five years and
is a good blacksmith. He was
once foreman OF the Great North
ern shops at Wilmar, MINI.

He was original and a genius.

He never went to church and al.
ways minded his own business. He
owned two lots in Estevan which
are mortgaged. He recently
sold out his business. .
Mr.. Duncan inquired into the

found that he was here April 6.
He strolled into the office Of

sent to a lawyer at Estevan.
The telegram was as follows:

than surprised to find such an
enterprising town. Everything
is booming and full of life. /

inc Patent Corona Cole Rlucher
