BUNK FOR WH|PPLE
Former Mankato Man Buys Out
fit That Had Been Stolen.
CLEVER STORY TOLD TO HIM
Doctor Is Out His Money;
the Thief Gets Away.
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Two weeks ago Saturday, Irving Me
Cabe, former resident of Rochester
whose home is now in Merriam Park
drove into Rochester with fine look
ing turnout, consisting of good drlv'
ing and family horse, and modern
Stanhope carriage. The following
Tuesday he effected a sale of the
outfit, including the harness, to DIR
f. J. Whipple, formerly of Mankato
who was completely taken in by the
story he told of how he came to be
able to dispose of it.
Handed a Lemon.
For two weeks everything was love.
", but Sunday night, f. X. Masse
military Inspector of st. Thomas sem
mary at Merriam Park, appeared in
Rochester and trouble commenced
brewing instanter. He sought Chief
of Police Gardner, and stated in sub
stance that McCabe made his home in
Merriam Park; that he was on friend
ly terms with d. w. Watson, owner
of a livery stable there; that he had
rented of Watson a horse and Dor
rowed from him, Masse, a Stanhope
ostensibly for his own use, and that
neither had been returned. He paid
Watson So a little later on account
of the rent of the horse, telling a
plausible story.
Wife Gave the Tip.
At length he disappeared, and his
wife, letting out that he had beer
at Rochester, set them to thinking
that perhaps the rig was there. Such
Mr.. Masse found to be the case, DIR
Whipple having been the innocent pur'
chaser. Thus the matter stands. Me-
Cabe is charged with the theft, and
Whipple is out his money, and the
former is much wanted. As the state
offers a reward of 5000 for the capture
of a horsethief, and it is alleged that
McCabe is a thief, no effort will be
spared by officer or civilian to land
him in durance vile. As DR.. Whip
pie is out his money, he wouldn't
feel at all bad if he could be the
man to lay hands on McCabe, but-so
far McCabe is free.
