pletely covered. Examined with
a microscope the dust on Carey's
hat seems to be exactly similar.
Carey is about 35 years of age,
five feet seven inches tall, slender
build, dark complicated, hatchet
faced and smooth shaven. He has
sharp shifty eyes and nervous
manner. He was well dressed in a
grey suit, black Stetson hat and
tan shoes with rubber heels. The
rubber heels had three screw holes
in them where they We're fastened
to the shoe. Tracks which exactly
match Carey's shoes were found
after daylight leading down the
alley back of the saloon, across
Madrill's potato patch and back to
the box car. In the upper out
side pocket of Carey's coat was a
file Of peculiar pattern the end
of which exactly fits certain marks
in the putty under the window
glass which the burglar broke to
gain entrance.
Near the safe was an old pick,
and other crude tools. A bottle of
whiskey and some cigars were miss
ing and have not been located.
The cash register was left open
and empty when the saloon closed
for the night. In the safe, which
George Dunham opened in few
minutes by lingering the combina-
tion, was SS5 and three gold
watches, the smallest amount that
had been in the safe for some
time
Geo. Riedel's safe at Antonito
was broken into in a similar man
ner several weeks ago and this
same man Carey was found in a
/ box car next morning. He was
held by the authorities several
days but as nothing could be
found against him he was released
and has since been working in a
restaurant. Tuesday he omit and
with companion came to La Jara.
They were both around town dur
ing the evening,
Carey claims he went to bed in
the box car about IL O'Clock and
don't know what became of his
partner.
Sheriff McGregor directed
Deputy Sheriff Mosier to bring
Carey to Conejos for safe keeping
but he will doubtless be returned
here in a few days for prelimin-
airy hearing.
Opinion differs as to whether
more than one or two men were
engaged on the job. There is
evidence to support both theories.

A Correction.

Union Baptist church and the
pastor wishes to call the atten
ton of the public to the fact that
there appeared a mistake in The
Forum of last week concerning
the trustees of said church as TO
the paying of the debts OF the
church. 1t is true the outstapd
ing debts are paid, but it was not
by the truestees' management, it
was by the management of the
church under the leadership of
the pastor. The Union Baptist
church is a good church and
stands all right financially and
spiritually but some of our trus-
tees have not stood by the church
in it's struggle to pay these debts
while otheres have been faithful
and stood by the church Such
good men should be congratulat
ed. Some seem to be church
disturbers aud want to leave the
good members and church out
and take the honor to themselves.
The church will celebrate its
birthday anniversary in the near
future at which time they will
give free dinner, to which the
public will be invited. A fine
program will be rendered and a
celebration sermon preached.
Come to the Union church, our
doors stand open and you are
welcome.

more than a social success. We

Minneapolis, July 16.-The harvest

fields early, cutting winter rye. Bar
ley cutting win be hearu from by the
beginning OF next week and oats,
wheat, fax and corn viii be gathered

going into the fields on his run over

in an auto from the county north of

States Atty. :. w. Fowler and Co.
Aud. A. G. Lewis returned last night
from Bismarck, where they met with
Atty. Gen. Andrew Miller for a con-
struction Of the new law relative to
charging for county insane patients.
The construction Of the law by the
state auditor made a difference OF
over thousand dollars In the amount
which Cass county is indebted to the
state. There was some dispute as to
the time that the penalty OF 80 per
cent a year should De applied, which
according to the attorney general. is
held to be as construed by Cass coun-
ty officials.
The amount which Case county owes
the state for the keep Of insane pa
tients now totals between $4,000 and
$4,000. The matter of culIing out the
non -residents--which the state has to
settle for--will now be taken up. II
is believed that when this is completed
the bill will be materially reduced.
AS was discovered some time ago. Cass
