QUICK WORK BY SHERIFF
Found Horses Which Were Thought
to Have Been Stolen From
Owner. Ole AabOe.

What looked like the loss of a fine
team was cleared up in a few minutes
this morning by the sheriff's Office. Ole
Aaboe, accompanied by several other
parties, drove into the city yesterday
on business. The team belonged to
Aaboe and when they reached the city
he got out of the carriage and took
some broken harness to the shop to
have it repaired, telling the others to
take the team to a certain livery barn
to be cared for until he was ready to
leave the city this morning. He paid
no further attention to the team,
knowing that it would be cared for
properly, and proceeded to look after
his business. This morning he went
to the barn to get the team and it
could not be found. He at once noti-
fled the sheriff and a search was in
stituted. The officers hunted up one
Of the men who had put the team away,
and discovered that when he reached
the barn in which he was directed to
leave 1t, there was no room available
and he was compelled to place it in
another barn, and had been unable to
find Mr.. Aaboe to tell him Of the
change in the plans. The team was
found where he had left it.

Signed Employers Name to Checks
Chief Lowe On the Lookout.

Chief Lowe today received notice
that a forger wanted for passing sew
eral checks at Wimbledon. N. d.. is
headed this way. From the few details
gathered. 1t appears that the fellow
was attired as a thresher and gave
the name of Ray Anderson. On Sun
day he laid OF from the threshing rig
where he was employed and wrote out
several checks signing his employers
name to the same. He was successful
in cashing several of these checks. but
was caught in the act as he en-
deavored to cash the last one prepara-
tory to skipping the county. He pre-
scented this one to Howard Belknay in
Wimbledon store and was told to
wait for his change. The forger be-
came suspicious that something was
up and disappeared before the police
arrived.
He is reported as making for this
section of the state. and descriptive
letters have been sent to all the police
in this section of the state.

JAMESTOWN PEOPLE MAD
Over the Unjustlfied Shooting Of the
Russian Boy by Waterman Travis.

Deputy Sheriff Mahon returned last
night from Jamestown where he took
Louis Hegge who was adjudged in
sane few days ago. Mr.. Mahon says
that indignation runs high against
Travis, the Waterman who killed the
boy at that place few days ago. Had
1t not been for the cool-headedness
and foresight of the chief police and
sheriff, Travis would in all probability
have been severely dealt with bv the
people when the body Of his victim
was found. These officials realized the
intense feeling which the wanton kill
Ing had raised, and secured Travis and
had him in jail before the body was
found, and 1t is certain that there
would have been trouble had they not
acted in advance.
