scene of gaity last Wednesday

Fellows, and also children whose
parents are not able to properly care

SENSATION AT LEWISTOWN
Three Employees Of Lehman's Store
Under Arrest on Suspicion
of Stealing.

Lewistown, Nov. 1.-Something of
a sensation was caused here today
when three employees of the grocery
department at Lehman's store, John
Edwards, manager; j. II. Hat!ey, a
clerk, and G. d. Woodward, ware
house man and delivery man, were
arrested.
Following up circumstances indicat-
ing that stock had disappeared from
the store in some irregular way,
members of the firm found that some
wagonloads of groceries, ETC., had
been carted off to the homesteads Of
these men and the system under
which they operated in collusion was
made clear.
1t is stated that the value of the
stolen goods exceeded thousand
dollars and that there is reason to
believe there has been considerable
"knocking down" on cash sales.
The men all came here from the east
some months ago and being well re-
commended, secured positions.

Ingalls, have charge of the seventh,
eighth, ninth and tenth grades on
the second floor.

Business Men Ring Leaders

The people of HarIowton were
greatly surprised to find young men,
such as Louie Kalberg, Stout Collins
II. b. Meyers, Mark Johnson and
James Startsman, besides several
others, the main spirits in this dem
onstratiOn of corruption. We have
always looked upon these young men
as decent, sober and honorable, who
would not stoop TO such low and vio-
lent tactics.

An Injustice to the Democratic Party

This outrage was caused by the
stand this paper las taken in politics.
At this time we wish to MAKE the
statements that the writer edits this
paper, and when anyone thinks that
they can dictate the policies of this
organ. they fail to realize that they
a'e bucking up against the wrong
party. We uphold the principals
which we honestly believe to be right
and just. Many people think that
the ring leaders OF this bunch of
violaters to all decency, are represen-
latives OF the Democratic party.
This, however, is not true, as that
party is composed of men, who
have higher principles and more re-
spect for themselves and their party.
1t, however, must be admitted, that
men who call themselves Democrats
were the nuclei of this indecency, but
they are what might be termed
"would-be Democrats" We regret
very much that this party must suf-
fer from their actions at the polls on
November the 9Th.

q most circumspect and deferential air.
Dressed in evening clothes, carrying
his silk hat in his hand and with a
boutonniere Of dollhouse yiolets in his

The lawyer lobbyist walked directly

forward over the desk.

when one considers the nature of his
evil errand.

Brand spoke deliberately, in low
voice.
''On whether you're willing to meet
me halfway"
Bartelmy's hopes Immediately surged
high. Ha, as plain a bid for a price as
he had ever heard, and he he'd heard
them before. He gazed, treasured, at
the young mans earnest face. Ha,
how skillful he was, this young Brand!
How he had deceived every one! Yes,
he was just like some of the other re-
formers the judge had met-just like
some Of his political friends who start
ed to clean up certain conditions, only
to be retained to let them exist as they
were. But Brand was the cleverest
one of the lot by far, and probably he
was to divide the proceeds of this
bride with Nolan. Oh, they were
cunning pair! Had even fooled Dupuy,
who thought them dangerous And
what son-in-law Brand would make!
Yes, he could have Judith; he was
worthy to possess the reigning beauty
of great city. So argued to himself
the false judge, and he said:
"Of course am willing to meet you
halfway, but it all depends on whether
we understand each other.''
"YOur decision was doubtless of some
value to you. and if l am willing to
keep silent about it's antecedent cir
cumstances them Brand looked the
judge in the eye eXpectantly.
Bartelmy felt relieved. He felicitat.

ment had been correct
