Sam Calmenson, of the firm of Tegt-

down to the City of St. Paul some two
weeks ago by the serious illness of his
father, returned to Webster Thursday
of last week. In conversation with
the writer, Mr.. Calmecson said that
his father was in very bad condition
and the family entertained very little
hopes of his recovery, however the
disease was of such nature, caused
by the general breaking down of old
age, that he might last for weeks and
yet might be called at any minute.
Sam remained in Webster until Satur-
day when he received another message
to come to the city. We have not
heard any further particulars since his
return.

When he went out to the buggy HIS
suit was gone and somebody else
wore it on Christmas.
Saturday evening as Mr.. Grove was
walking along Queen street he met
Cook, whom he knew, and, observing
that he wore a new suit of clothes
which looked for all the world like
the one that was stolen two weeks be-
fore, he asked Cook in friendly sort
of way where he had gotten it. Cook
replied that he bought it from cer-
tain fellow out about Gerrardstown for
$50, Mr.. Grove then requested Cook
to go with him to Squire Felker's Of
fee saying that he wanted to look up
that Gerrardstown man. When his
name was mentioned Justice Felker
examined his record book and found
that the fellow was in Jail at the time
the clothing was taken. ThereupoE
Mr.. Grove believing that Cook was the
real thief, ordered his arrest then and
there. After some hesitancy Cook adj
mitted that he stole the suit and JUS
tice Felker fined him $25, and in de-
fault of which he was sent to jail for
30 days.
