Demnad for Horses.

A Kansas City stock paper has this
to say:

cattle in that part OF his state, as

crates as far east as the middle OF the

Mr.. Ihcro. The sugar beet indus

DISAPPEARED

MISSING SINCE LAST. SEP
TENDER
GIRL IA AND BOY t6, AND APPEALS
TO AUTHORITIES PROVE TO
f sa. BE IN VAIN

Mr.. j. S. Nelson reports that his
girl Florence, age Ia, and his boy, Ro.
bert, age 16, have been missing since
last September. That the boy was
last heard Of in Seattle, Washington
/ A letter sent to the chief of police for
information in regard to the boy and
girl, written couple Of months ago
has so far received no response. The
girl is described as of light hair and
blue eyes, about 5 feet two inches,
Scandinavian appearance, scar on
forehead and of medium weight.
Like Rachel, weeping for her child
rem and would not be comforted,'' Mrs,
Nelson, is hoping against hope, for the
return of these to their home, who
have gone she knows not whittier 1t
is claimed that Florence was taken
away from home once before, but on
threats of prosecution the girl was
brought back. '-r s@.H
Shortly after the girl was again mis-
sing and since then no trace can be
found. There is no question but that
some older person has helped the
child away or induced her to go away
and by some one who is well acquaint-
ed with the family.
The Nelson's state that they have ap-
pealed to the authorities for help, but
SO far in vain. The Nelson's are not
heavily. endowed with this world S
goods, but it surely cannot be on &C
count of this fact that help should
not be extended to them in this their
hour of sorrow.
A short time ago baby four days
old was kidnapped in Minneapolis and
the police in all our cities, especially
in Minnesota, lent all their energies to
recover the little one. 1t is certainly
as important that a girl the age of
Florence should be looked after and
taken care of. H. +
Realizing The Power of the Press
the Nelson's have asked for publicity
in this matter with the hope that it
will meet the eye of some one who
knows where the children are

early Days in Glen 01lin
BY &. r. ST EINBRUEck

An incident picturing the early his
tory of Glen Ullin, N. D., by E. R.

Ullin.
I think in 1885, when party of settlers
of Glen Ullin, then four townships, IS,

undertook an excursion across the
prairie towards Stanton on the Big
Knife river. 1884, =.
In those early days there were no
roads, no bridges Travellers took the
sun, the moon. the stars for guides,
and crossed the creeks where the bot
tom was found solid enough to carry
a horse. Afraid of horse stealing IN
dams, the party, to which belonged Mr..
Isaac Richardson and Jim Grey, as al
SO some ladies, set watch during the
night. While the ladies slept in the
wagon box, and the men under it, one
of the men sat by an open fire to take
care of the horses. Besides a team,
they had some ponies along, all picket
ed on ropes. Jim Grey had the watch
from 10 to 2 o'clock in the night. He
saw some dark objects approaching
the horses and fired his rife. The
dark objects made jump and all dis
APPEARED. In the morning they found
some of the ropes of the horses cut
loose. Further unmoIested, the party
finished and enjoyed the trip and re-
turned home in safety. r

Al Crocodile In a Tree.

An African hunter once found a
large crocodile hanging In the fork Of
a tree about ten feet from the ground.
As the place was fully half mile
from any water, 1t was difficult to ac-
count for the crocodile's strange posi-
ton. When questioned upon the sub
jeet, the natives explained that it was
put there by an elephant. It seems
that when the elephants wade into tho
Lake Ngami to battle the crocodiles are
n the habit Of worrying them and BIT
ing their legs. Sometimes when an
elephant Is annoyed beyond endurance
It picks up Its tormentor In Its trunk,
puts 1t among the branches Of a tree
and leaves it there. London Graphic.
