The Taber .Lum Der company of

100000 feet of logs near Jesse
Lake, Itasca county. After the
trees had been cut down and be-
fore the logs could be eplaced on
the cars to haul them away,
along came the assessor of Itasca
county and put them down on
his books. The Taber Lumber
company was soon after called
on to pay a tax of $1,000. The
company resisted the tax, claim

an Industrious, Woodworking
individual, who spent his time
between improving his home
stead in Roseau county, during
the summer, and working in the
woods during the winter months.
The fact that he was thrifty, was
undoing. The $400 certificate of
the deposit representing his
savings, furnishes ample motive
for the crime.
Suspicion naturally falls on his
companion, Peter Mathiesen,
who worked with him, and his
representations that Johnson
had gone to Crookston, and would
not return, naturally strengthens
this suspicion. Should the
authorities succeed in locating

It is believed that Mathiesen
