WHO is Mr.. OLNEY?
Clever Check ManipuIator S Doing
Work in Minnesota.
From Saturdays Daily.

=
w. Olney, the man who passed off a
worthless check on the SanbOrn, Mimi,
bank purported to have been signed by
Charles a. Peters, of this city, did not
confne his crooked work to Sanborn
alone, says the st Cloud Times. He was
in this city, it has been learned, about
two months ago, and while here worked
two men at the quarries west of town
to sign notes for $50 in each instance for
premiums of life insurance. policies. At
ter he got their signatures to the notes
he stated that the policies would be sent
to them by the Des Moines company.
The men never got their policies, but
they had to pay their notes just the
same.
After the notes were secured, which
were straight primissory obligations, Oh
ney sold them to the Security State
Bank, and the bank, of course, had to
force collection OH the same.
1t is believed that traces of Olney's
manipulations of this kind i'll large num-
bers will show up in short time.

THREE SHOTS FIRED.
DETECTED Bullet Entets Toland S
Business University.

From Saturday S DAILY.
A shot was fired through the window
of the office of the Toland Business
university at 80 a. IN. Thursday
morning. The police officers heard three
shots fired in the railroad yards at
that time, but on investigating the
cause could find no one. Thursday
morning Professor Owen found a thirty
eight calibre bullet on the floor of his
office, and little later saw that it had
entered through the window, taking a
downward course, striking on window
frame opposite and falling to the floor.
The shape of the bullet shows that it
had been DETECTED from some hard sub
stance, and it is thought that it may
have struck the smoke stack of the
Tivoli and been DETECTED downward
through the window of the Business
university. e

DRUNK OR CRAZY.
Examining Board Decides on the
Former in Rarden's Case.

FROM SATURDAY daily.
Marshall Weir of Good Thunder last
evening brought to the city a man nam
ed Jerry Rarden, to be examined as to
his sanity. The man was found south
of Good Thunder, and appeared to be a
raving maniac. He was afraid that
someone wanted to kill him, and
thought that he saw people sticking
their heads through the wall and would
converse with them. He imagined that
woman had $4,000 left him by an UNI
Gle. He worked on the railroad in this
county a year or so ago.
Weir was examined before Judge
Hughes this forenoon, and the court and
physicians arrived at the conclusion that
he was suffering from too much Ii
uuor 1t was decided not to commit him,
but to hold him for a short time and
see whether he will not come out all
right. He was accordingly taken before
Judge ComstockN this noon and the
charge of drunkenness preferred against
him, and he was committed to the coun-
ty Jail for ten days in default of a
fine of $40 and costs.

MADISON LAKE OUTLET.
County Surveyor Brooks Looks Over
the Situation Carefully.

From Saturdays Daily
County Surveyor Brooks was out
Monday morning to look at the work
being done at the outlet of Madison
Lake. County Commissioner Madigan
has had a big crew of men at work for
number of days and the lower bitches
have been cleaned out. The present six.
foot bridge at the outlet will be replac-
ed by much wider one and with the
ditch free from rubbish it is hoped that
flood water will run off quickly without
materially affecting the level of Lake
Madison. Some opposition had develop
ed to the idea of taking off this flood
water but when the directors understand
that no part of the valuable lake water
which is of benefit is to be sacrificed,
it is thought that they too will see
matters in the same light as those now
interested in this project.-Madison Lake
Tribune.
