l4:CENT CHECK MISSING
COUNTY TREAS SUR E B HUNTS
HIGH AND LOW FOR VOUCHER
THAT MAY BE IMAGINARY.

Where is the Hennepin county treas
urer's check No. 4537 .,
This question has been asked in vain
many times in the last few days, and
it has caused untold anxiety in the
treasurer's Office. The elusiveness Of
the little piece Of paper has baffled all
efforts at discovery and has driven
County Treasurer Hanke into state
The check was noticed a. few days
ago when the county board of audit
was checking up the treasurer books.
Upon making search of the records
Mr.. Hanke found that ever since be
had been in office this old check for a
cents has headed the list of unpaid
checks. Each month the outstanding
checks are added to the treasurer'
bank statement and each month this
14-cent piece Of paper remains unpaid.
Delving into past history the treas
urer made some remarkable discoveries:
The number Of the check, 453, showed
it's age, since the present check num-
bers are above the $4,000 mark. A
search showed that the book In which
No 453 was originally entered was
missing Following the record 5sf Ct bal f6e
anugs amount &. Of Ef this one check had been
changed Just seventeen times.
On it's first appearance it called for
a payment Of Sc cents. Later it was
raised to 50 cents and from that it
| varied at different times until it now
only calls for IA cents, with the name
and address Of it's owner still unknown.
| ~The balances show that where the
amount of this check has been. changed
the footings have been changed and the
| Inference is that this paper was used
as a balancer and its amount was
changed to avoid hunting for odd cents
when the treasurer's statement did not
iibe with the bank statement. As fa1
as the records show it may be an en-
! tirely imaginary check created for bal
ancing purposes.
Hanke is still searching and is also con
templating writing a short story en-

CLEMENCY FOR GIRL
WHO STOLE DIAMOND

. B. 5 4 ! u
Gertrude Carlson, arrested Monday
charged with the theft Of q diamond
ring from her employer, w. P. Ken
ney, owes her liberty to the generosity
Of Mr.. Kenney.
Detected with the ring in her pos
session, Miss Carlson had no plausible
defense and was about to be held to 9
larceny, when Mr.. Kenney announced
that he would place a valuation Of
$25 on the ring, thus permitting the
girl to escape with a petit larceny
charge. Judge Smith sentenced her
to fifteen days in the workhouse, with
the option Of paying a 1926 fine. She
chose the latter. ~
Mr.. Kenney assigns, as his reason
for not wishing to see the girl tried
on more serious charge, that she was
a foreigner and had little knowledge
Of the customs OF. this country.

Minnesota game wardens have arrest
ed Charles E. Wolf, states attorney of
Richland county, N. D., for violations
Of the game laws committed in 1904.
T. II. Jones Of Fergus Falls made the
arrest at Moorhead. Mr.. Wolf will
probably pay heavily for his sport in
1904 for hunting deer without license,
and fined $3.50, but released on bonds
pending an appeal. The Judgment was
sustained by the supreme court, but
Wolf did not return to the state or pay
the Judgment. He has since his arrest
settled the old offense for STAT. He is
also charged with having taken more
deer out of the state in 1904 than the
law allows, and is willing to settle fo,
that on basis Of $75.
The charge is brought at Aitkin, and
third one is pending, of the same
nature. II Wold does not settle it, h

Tom Lamon Badly Hurt.

The many friends of Nj. and Mrs.
Tom Lamon in this section learned
with regret last Saturday that the
former had been seriously, if not ia
tally, injured the preceding day.
1t appears that Mr.. Lamon, who
has been employed for some time
past as overseer of a gang of negro
laborers in the Southeastern rail-
road yards, became involved in a
controversy with another white man
named Falkner, aud that as a eli
max to the dispute Falkner picked
up a lack stick" and struck Lamon
on the head, crushing his skull.
Mr.. J. w. Parker, father of Mrs.
Lamon, and Mrs. Parker went to
Meridian on Sunday, and advices
from there are not at all favorable
to Mr.. Lannon's recovery.
Falkner is in Jail pending the out
come of Lannon's injuries.
