ner. Froland's farm is divided
and between the two parts
another farmer resides. This
ne;ghbor heard the wheat be-
ing loaded at Froland's gran
ary, wich is near the road and
the neighbor's house, early in
the morning. So he went to
Froland and asked him to do
some errands in town, as he
knew he was going, having
heard him load the wheat.
Froland said he had no inten-
tion of gong, that he loaded
no wheat and that there was a
mistake. But the neighbor
was sure, and an investigation
took place. the wagon tracks
were found at the granary. the
wheat was missing and the
men claim to have traced the
tracks to Lueck's where the
wagon, stdl loaded with the
stolen wheat. stood by the
latter's granary. They claim
to have identified the wheat,
but the load wac not held, but
was hauled to town by Lueck,
and sold. Payment on the
ticket, however, was stopped.
OF course this ie the complaint
ants side of the case, and
Lueck's being bound over does
not argue that he is guilty, as
the justice was compelled to
do so.-Lidgerwood Broad.axe.

Arrested For Embezzlement,

Wednesday on complaint of
John OVERLY charged with
embezzlement, the sum being
$50 90. The story as revealed
BY the hearing of witnesses in
Justice Flint's court is as fol-
lows: A number of men had
gathered at Casper Noes
house and a poker game was
started. Kimball and others
were in the game. OVERLY
was not. Kimball made a loan
from OVERLY of a small sum. 81
or $1.5O, and OVERLY told him
not to let them. the others,
bluff him. and opened his purse
revealing the contents, 4 $40
bills. Kimball reached over
and saying: you are too
drunk to have that money, I'll
take care of it till morning. -
snatched the money out of the
wallet.
Shortly before OVERLY went
home, little later, Kimball
agreed to return the money
Later in the night as the game
progressed, Kimball made a
bet, and throwing the me- cney
on the table remarked that
it was Overby's and was to be
returned in the morning. In
the morning, however, Kim ball
denied ever getting; receiving,
or taking the money-and
still insists that he got none OF
Overby's money. The witnes.
ses who testified to this story
were OVERLY, John Simonds,
AL. Feeney. Geo. Wenschlag,
and Frank Fish. The state
was represented by A. L. Par
sons, and Kimball by the city
attorney. Justice Flint bound
Kimball over to the district
court on the charge in the sum
of $500. bond being furnished

REPUBLICAN SOUP HOUSES.
Republican soup houses,
says the Anoka Free Press,
such as have now had to be es-
tabiished in the eastern cities
for the benefit of unemployed
and starving laborers, are no
worse than democratic soup
houses that we have heard tell
about. Neither are they any
better.
The point of dissimilarity be-
tween them is that the first
named occur under a republi-
can presidents regime. while
the latter came into being
when a democrat was president
The point of similarity be-
tween republican and demo-
crat soup houses is that both
are the offspring and result of
republican policies-the favor
ing of the few at the expense
of the many.
In regard to the present re.
publican soup houses and the
up-to-date Coxey armies the
following recent telegraphic
dispatches in the daily press
speak for themselves:
Cincinnati, o. A parade of
thousands of unemployed
marched to the city hall to- day
where a delegation held a con-
ferance with Mayor Markbreit
and the city officials. 1t was
represented to the mayor that

stringency had thrown thous-
ands of men out of work and
that suffering was widespread.

MCKENZIE and McKENZIEISM.
It seems that by election of
the stalwarts in the republican
party, the issue is still that of
Mckenzie anti-McKenzie. says
the Searchlight.
The Alaska looter still seems
to have his whip in hand driv-
ing the stalwart wing of the
party. The Morning Call of
this city had the following edi-
torial squib on Friday morning
1.-THE whole admitted plot of
the insurgent leaders is to put
Alex. Mckenzie out of business
in North Dakota. Alexis great
crime in North Dakota seems
to have been that of standing
by his friends. A lot OF insur-
gents will never be arraigned
on a similar charge. Look the
bunch overland think it over"

crime in North Dakota seems

him and his friends an oppor-
tunity when the bill as econ

graft the state. OF course he
was "reaecting credit on the
state when he was engaged in
the Alaska looting as exposed
in Everybodys Magazine. Of
course he was standing by his
friends when he got the brick

paper last week,-from the

paying for them, and without

with the brick gotten from the
state or collect pay for them.
Oh, yes, Aleck stands by his
friends, but he evidently is not
much of a friend to the people,
but Jordan got the landoffice
and Plumley the postofice.
The people of this state will
note that there is a supreme
effort being made by the old
republican machine to keep
control of the federal patron
age. This is certainly worth
it's while. But the people of
the state do not want to con-
tinue the present condition.
