nfAH~L HNNsNN
AS a historical incident of the
early days Of Dakota territory the
following incident is related by N.

N. Noble, of Centerville, writes
Professor Kerr that he holds a re-
ceipt for the first car Of freight ever
shipped into Dakota Territory. Mr..
Noble came into the territory Octo-
Der %, 1872, on his way from Mem
dOta, Illinois, to Centervllle, where
he located.
He had shipped ove the Illinois
Central road and arrived at Sioux
City while nothing but construction
trains we're operating on the line
from Sioux City to Yankton, and
the track was finished to Elk Point.
He desiied to send his car of freight
as far as possible by lail before ln-
loading it and went to the officers OF
the new railroad company desiring to
have his car sent to the end of tile
track.
He.was at first refused, but persist

LOSS Of FORTUNE
AFFECTS MIND
"GET- RICH -QUICK" SCHEME
RUINS J. w. PACKER
GAVE ALL FOR HIS FAMILY
Found Income insufficient to Educate
Some and Tried to Repair For-
tune by Investing With
Wild Cat Company

j. w. Packer is locked in cell in the
insane ward at the county hospital as
the result Of being victimized by a
"get-rich-quick" scheme. which swal-
lowed UP his little fortune. The loss
Of his money has affected his mind.
Through all the patients trials his
son, Frederick Packer, a promising
young local artist, has stayed by him
and aided to cheer his father while he
turns his back on a brilliant future.
II am young and my work can wait"
said the young man when some one
suggested that he pursue his work in
the field of art rather than spend hours
talking to his father at the hospital.
"Why should return to my work
now when my father needs me?
could not If I desired. for 1t is he who
sacrificed his all, that I might attend
college and receive the proper training
for a career as an artist"
Three Weeks Near Insanity
Packer has been in the county in
stitution about three weeks. Most Of
the time he appears to be perfectly ra-'
tional and the attending physician ex-
pressed hope yesterday afternoon that
he would have speedy recovery.
According to the story told when
Packer went to the hospital. his wife
had been an invalid for two years.
Packer was devoted to her and nursed
her through her long illness until she
died a short time ago.
While Packer was doing everything
in his power to care for his invalid wife
he was trying to educate his two sons.
His youngest son was sent to school
in Chicago.
Last Cent to SWindlers
About six months ago the Packer
funds began to shrink and in his
despair the husband of the invalid wife
was induced to invest his last $400 in a
business which promised quick and
large returns. He made the invest
ment and lost the money.
After his wife died the overworked
man broke down and it was decided to
place him in the hospital.
1t is now believed that he will re-
cover, but until he does his son, for
whom he sacrifices so much, will not
leave him. Not even If he never again
touches pen to paper or brush to
canvas.

RUMFORD FALLS, Me-, Sept. H.
The finding Of diamonds at Fryeburg,

belief that diamonds may possibly be
hidden in the many clay beds OF The
county. Search will be made for them

found at Fryeburg were in and near
Jockeycap, in the Saco valley. The al

POLICE SAY BOY
CONFESSES GUILT
ROME LLOYD IS CHARGED
WITH FORGERY
BREAKS DOWN UNDER STRAIN
Detectives Assert He Admits Signing
Another's Name to Check for
$1e.75 Drawn on Local
Bank

"Disobedience and evil associates is
the story. It's equal is: Rome Lloyd,
whose parents reside at 1472 West Jer-
ferson street, admitted to his guilt as
a forger today" said Detective Nc
Kenzie yesterday.
Several days ago Lloyd was arrested
on the charge of forging the name Of
Eugene Weston to a check drawn on
the Citizens National bank for $16.75,
payable to Frank Natchez, and pre-
sented to James Skwaras Of S4O1s
South Spring street.
During the past few days he has
been feigning insanity and has eyaded
all questions that in any way bore upon
his guilt. All tactics known to the
police availed nothing in dealing with
the young man and when the police
were despairing in their efforts to Sc
cure a confession the lad is said 10
have admitted his guilt.
LOS Angeles seems to be afflicted
with forgers just now," said one of
the police detectives yesterday. 1--WE
have disposed of many cases during the
past few months, but there are many
more that we are investigating at the
present. There are some clever artists
operating and we find 1t almost i'm
possible to secure evidence to convict
them"
Lloyd, according to the police. has
exhibited much ability in his evasion
of the police. His home has been a
model one. but the lad seemingly pre-
ferred the company ofsevil associates
to that of his social equals.

PAY TRIBUTE TO
LIFE OF R|NDGE
MEMORIAL SERVICE HELD AT
Y. M. C. A.
MANY EULoGIES DELIVERED
Rev. Robert J. Burdette Gives Sermon.
Arthur Letts Starts Subscription
for New Building With $25,ooo
Subscription

At the First Congregational church
yesterday afternoon a notable tribute
was paid to the memory Of Frederick
Rindge. The exercises had been ar
ranged by the local Young Mems Christ
ian association, of which Mr.. Rindge
had been the president.
The service was open to the general
public. Tributes were delivered by the
directors and others who had been as
sociated with Mr.. Rindge in the work
of the Y. M. c. A. Arthur Let's, vice
president during Mr.. Rindges term of
office and the present acting president,
presided over the services.
Rev. w. H. Rider, pastor Of West
lake Methodist church, read the scrip
ture lesson and offered prayer. A spe-
cial number was rendered by the quar-
tet of the Y. M. G. A., and the choir
platform was filled with young men
who made UP a chorus to assist in the
singing.
Mr.. Let's made an address in which
he related several incidents of the gene
rosity of Mr.. Rindge which had come
to his personal knowledge. He empha-
sized the modest spirit which shrank
from having much said about his gifts
and spoke of one instance in which Mr..
Rindge gave him roll of bills for
charitable purpose and said to make
no public mention of my name in con-
nection with this"
Let's Gift of $4,000
In this connection, Arthur Let's made
a statement that he felt in a personal
way the loss of Mr. Rindge perhaps
more keenly than any of the other d.
rectors. He stated that he had the
privilege of inducing him to accept the
presidency and, as vice president,
would miss his associate officer.
"In spite Of i'll health" said he. "Mr.
Rindge was prevailed on to accept the
office in the time of crisis and now his
assistance will be needed more than
ever. We must all measure up to our
duty, feeling his loss, and I want the
privilege of at this time subscribing
the first $4,000 for the new building of
the Young Mems Christian association"
The generosity Of this gift caused
suppressed applause throughout the
audience, even on this sad occasion.
The general spirit of Mr.. Let's re-
marks and of the others participating
was that the influence of Mr.. Rindge,
while he was gone. would live in what
was done by men who had felt the help
full touch of his life.
Rev. Robert j. Burdette made the
principal address of the afternoon and
made emphatic the assertion that they
were gathered to pay tribute to the life,
not the memory, of Mr.. Rindge.
Brief addresses, giving such incidents
In the life of Mr.. Rindge as had come
to their personal knowledge, were given
