A Queer Mix Up.

A load Of wheat ,thecondition Of
the wheat, and the manner of the at
tempted disposal has created some!
surprise and suspicion. A man drove
on the Moses Bros. scales with load
Of wheat. The wheat on being ex-
amined showed dirt, cotton seed and
other stuff that indicated something
wrong. The man selling the wheat
said he had bought 1t up town. The
grain buyer said "this looks to me
like 1t had been run out Of the cars
on track and then thrown In some
where with cotton seed and dirt. We
don't want that wheat" The mar.
shall being called, hunted the matter
up and found that the driver Of the
team was selling the wheat for an
otherman, who had bought 1t in small
lots until he had accumulated about
100 bushels. The marshal told the
owner that he certainly must have
known the wheat was stolen, or 1t
would not be sold in that condition,
and manner.
It seems the grain has been accu.
mulating for some time. The grain
dealers and the railroads have been
bothered for months by the petty
thieving of grain, in some cases the
car doors are pried open and grain
is allowed to run out on the ground
and then taken up, carried away ant
sold. One firm here says they have
lost 300 bushels in this way.
This case will be sifted. The own
or or holder Of the wheat attempted
to be sold, is notified not to dispose
Of 1t, and the question will be pui
and answered as to where it com,
} from, who sold 1t in small quantitie
and why the buyer did not sell
himself instead of sending anothe
man. II the information we have
correct, there will be a mild senss
i. ton, and If a man is In the habit O
. buying stuff in the manner indicate
|, he is in mighty poor business, an
l it may prove costly.
+ The matter will come up probabl
e tomorrow. AS We understand, tn
i railroad company is the loser afts
the cars are loaded, weighed and BIZ
ed. II this Is the case, they will mo-
likely take the matter up and pro
Al ecute.

one for the exercises. The parade was
formed as usual at the G. A. R. hall
at 9 o'clock, headed by Sans drum =
corps and the G. A. r. The ususl

there being fully as large crowd as
ever attended on like occasions. In
the afternoon the procession was forI
ed at the hall as in the morning:
Richardson's Great Bend band having
escorted a large number of pupils
from the central building to thehall t
take part in the procession. Forming
at the hall they marched to the park
headed by the band, where the reg
ular program was rendered. Hon. E
G. Cole made the day address, and il
was one Of the best ever listened to
in this or any other city, and many
remarked that 1t was the finest they
had ever heard The Judge was in
good voice, and his talk was clear

feel competent to 80 it alone. And
it is plainly evident to anyone that
they did wisely in this.
The Tribune repeats that the Ga
zette article is an unwarranted slap
at the attorneys of the city Of Will
mar, particularly Mr.. Sanford.
While yet a young man, he has
had considerable practice. He has
the gumption. the pluck and the
capacity for hard work, is a deep
student of law and has the ability
to put up good fight for any case
entrusted to him. If dissipation.
playing at the bucket shop. general
cussedness and crookedness are nec-
essary for a successful lawyer, we
admit that Mr.. Stanford does not
possess these qualifications. But
the city of Willmar can hardly have
any cause or interest at stake that
would require such qualifications in
its legal representative.
