brought from near Mott, serious
ly i'll with uraemic poisoning, died
suddenly here Saturday evening
last. 1t was thought that he
was improving, when suddenly
Saturday afternoon change for
the O Sc set in. and in a few
hours the end had come. His
father, who had hastened to his
bedside from Beatrice, Neb.,
where he is connected with the
Standard Oil Co., who was over
joyed at first at noting favorable
symptoms, was present when the
collapse and final struggle came.
The deceased was 25 years of
age. For several years he had
followed ranching near Mott, and
was we'll known and highly re-
guded throughout those parts.
The body was shipped Sunday to
Louisville, Ky, the family home
for some generations.

Something OF 4 Detective

| E. Wakefield proved himself
something of a sleuth on Tuesday
when he himself ran to earth,
arrested and delivered over to
the public the fellow who had
appropriated a cravanette over
coat. Mr.. Wakefield had but re-
Gently acquired the garment at a
cost of $25. While he was mom-
entarily away from his office,
some one entered and spirited
the overcoat away.
Suspicion fell on a stranger
named Frank Taylor, who, slight
ly crippled, made his living by
begging, and had but recently
come into town. The police were
notified, and from the time the
coat was missed until late at
night that individual was being
carefully watched. To no purpose
however, for his actions left his
watchers no clue. Mr.. Wakefield
nevertheless was convinced III; t
Taylor had stolen the coat, and
was up and about Tuesday morn
Ing before cock crow, once more
to shadow his man, and watch
outgoing trains. And his vigil
ance was rewarded. With early
daylight he sees Tay lor moving
towards the west, av a. from
town, and towards the railroad
cut. meanwhile looking carefully
about to see if anybody is fellow
ing him. Thus he kept on meand-
e ing about as if he was doing
nothing else than just taking in
the fresh air of the morning;
meanwhile Mr.. Wakefield, we'll
hidden, was keeping a careful
Lookout, watching every move
ment of the suspect. Taylor
finally got to the cut, crossed it
and reached the north side, where
after a while he stopped down
and picked up SO nething dark
from beneath a stone, hiding
it under his coat.
Then making his way back to
town, Mr.. Wakefield saw him
stink away toward the elevators.
Here he found a new hiding
place for his booty, but Mr..
Wakefeld's eyes We're right on
him and the spot. While Taylor
was making again towards towr.
Mr.. Wakefield first ;e ured tie
cravanette coat which it proved
to be, and then, marching after
Taylor, caught up with him and
arrested him; then marched his
man up to the residence of Chief
House, and put the culprit in the
latter's charge.
Taylor was arraigned, and
after a while decided to plead
guilty. He was bound over to
circuit court and will be taken
to jail at Bison, pending the
session of court. He will thus
be ASST red of board and lodging
at county expense for the Le..ter
part of a year.
