WARRANTS FOR
PRODUCE THIEVES
THREE WARRANTS ISSUED FOR
MEN CHARGED WITH STEALING
HAY, BARLEY AND WHEAT IN
MoLAND AND SPRING PRAIRIE
TOWNSHIPS.

Three warrants were issued by JUS
tice Malloy last night on complaints
made by farmers who allege that they
have been robbed of hay, wheat and
barley, very serious offenses under the
criminal codes of the state
One warrant was for the arrest of
one Sam Zerner, who is alleged to have
been conducting a systematic series of
thefts of hay from stacks which are
said not to be his property and from
fields located in the township of Spring
Prairie in this county.
The other two warrants were issued
for the arrest of A. Chelsey and Rum
nell, on complaint of one Christian
son, farmer on the Buffalo river,
who alleges that the defendants stole
from one load of barley and one load
of wheat from a place in Moland
township. The warrants were placed
in the hands Of Sheriff Whaley with
instructions to have them served i'm
mediately.
Regarding the stealing of the hay
the matter came to light about last
Wednesday, when officer Erickson of
the city police was put on the case.
The officer soon found out that the
suspected thief was acting with re-
markable astuteness in the endeavor
to cover up his tracks, but one insig-
nificant neglect on his part furnished
a slight clue with the ultimate result
that important evidence was estab-
lished and it is said that the clerk III
charge of the city weigh scales will
be called as a witness. Farmers are
complaining bitterly Of large and small
thefts Of their products and the county
attorney will be requested to make a
vigorous prosecution in the hope of
whoever may be found
guilty.

Grain Letter.

Chicago, Oct 25.-The wheat market
opened Ia to 1-2 lower. Local pro-
fessionals were inclined to favor the
long side; on their buying the market
rallied about 3-4c per bushel. There
was nothing doing in the way OF news
TO warrant even this little advance and
around noon when some selling pres
sure developed prices reacted to open
ing hgures, rallying again toward the
close. The foreign demand for Mani
tooa was reported the poorest for the
season. A message from Antwerp
states that storage space for grain is
scarce. Temporary rallies such as &C.
Cured today, may result from time to
time but we do not believe that any
sustained advance can take place until
the cash position changes.
