soula dailies dated about Oct. 1.
On inQuiring. the express company
learned that Mr.. Kelly never showed
anyone the, wealth he had obtained
except SO far as it might be judged
from the two bills exhibited to the
Hamilton agent. He did not even noti-
fy Harris & Co. that he would ship a
large sum to them, and he failed to
accompany his remittance with let
ter of instruction. His miner friend
In Utah could not be located.
That Is to say, in the opinion of the
express company, he never shipped
$14,S0O to New York, or any money
whatsoever.
No Claim for Refund.
The opinion was strengthened, as
the days slipped by, and Kelly failed
to make any formal claim for the re-
fund of the little fortune that he pre-
sumably had lost through the negli-
gence of the express company.
And now that the same Kelly, as is
alleged, has been convicted of another
attempt to obtain money by fraud,
the Northern Pacific has ceased to car
ry $14,8O0 as possible liability.

JOSH on THE PRINTER.
Extended Argument With A aDummyn
Strike Breaker Was Without
Desired Results.

The printers strike in Fargo is not
without it's humorous features and the
strikers as we'll as the master printers
are telling good joke today on a we'll
known printer employed in one of the
newspaper offices.
Among the strike breakers is a deaf
and dumb man at present employed at
Walker Bros. & Hardy's establishment.
With the other strike breakers he has
been seen frequently by the strikers
but has repeatedly refused to go out.
Last night the we'll known printer re-
ferred to before, volunteered to inter-
view some of the strike breakers.
Promptly at 6 O'clock he was on

informed concerning the physical mis-
fortune of the strike breaker, hence,
he approached him In the usual man.

with you about the strike" said the
union printer.
The deaf and dumb man nodded his
head and this encouraged the union
man proceeded. The arguments in
favor of the eight hour workday were
eloquently propounded and from time
to time the dummy" nodded. For
about fifteen minutes the one-sided
conversation proceeded.
The union man was not aware that
he was the center of attraction for
number of people or that he was not
making headway. The fact that he
was apparently receiving the most
careful attention encouraged him in
the belief that he was about to win
over a good man to the straight and
narrow path of unionism.
Finally the deaf and dumb man en-
lightened the union printer. Drawing
a pad and pencil out of his pocket, the
dummy" wrote:
please write what you have said"
The union man nearly tainted.
The dummy" is still at work, prob
ably because the union printer could
not write as fast as he could talk.
