CATTLE THIEVES
ARE AT WORK
THREE ARRESTS HAVE BEEN
MADE AND ALL WERE
BOUND OVER.

Towner, N D.. Aug. 20. - Cattle
rustling in the early days was recog-
nized as common thing. but since
the advent of the farmer and our
well settled communities we had
thought that this particular business
had been eliminated.
On Friday morning OF slast week,
while George Elliott was driving
through his pasture west OF the river,
ne came across the entrals of a COW
that had recently been killed. Upon
examination Of his cattle he found
that COW and two calves were miss
Ing from his bunch. He Immediately
drove into town and informed the
sheriff, and systematic search was
begun. The news resulted in several
other ranchers and farmers examin-
ing their cattle, and it was found that
Axel Gumelius was short a COW, 1t
having been killed Wednesday even
ing, and Henry Erickson was shy a
steer, 1t having been killed Tuesday
evening.
Monday morning Dave Farrager,
Clarence Seal and Clarence Balloon
were arrested, the evidence that had
been gathered pointing pretty strong
~ their way. Upon being questioned
Clarence Seal denied any part in any
OF the killings except that he was hir-
ed to go out and kill a. beef that had
been bought from Mr.. Gumelius bv
the butcher. This story was found to
be true, with the exception that they
had killed the wrong critter. Upon
questioning Mr.. Balcom his story was
the same as Seals, but asked to pro-
ouce the hide of that particular COW,
he stated that the boys had left it out
In the field. He gave several other
peculiar stories, which has resulted
in severe criticism.
Dave Farrager came out with an
open statement, and says that he was
hired to help, and that the other two
fellows were implicated with him. He
has made a clean breast of everything
and II his story is worth anything il
VIII probably mean conviction.
The preliminary hearings OF the
.nree parties was heard Wednesday
afternoon before Judge. Kline. d. ].
O'Connell represented Balloon and
Seal, and Farranger', was without |
counsel. Each case was taken separate |
Clarence Balloon waived examination
md was bound over to the district
'ourt under $1,000 bond, which he
promptly furnished. Seal asked for
| continuance until Monday, which
vas granted, and Farrager was given
wenty-four hours to secure counsel.
Thursday morning his hearing came
ID again and he waived examination
nd was bound over under $1,000 bond.

MINOT HOTEL MAN
WITH The MISSING
WILLIAM MUELLER LEAVES SUD.
DENLY-5ooKs FOUND TO BE
IN MIDDLE.

| Minot, N. d. Aug. 2o.-where &
William Mueller?
This is the question that has beer
troubling Hugh Scott of the Waverl,
hotel for the past thirty days.
Mueller & Scott have been operat.
Ing the Waverly hotel in Minot since
Jan. l.. 1909, having purchased the
furniture andssecured a lease OF the
building from Tom Russell, the former
proprietor OF the hotel Both mem
bers of the firm came here from Ana
moose, N. d. Mr.. Scott took the
management Of the hotel, while Mr.
Mueller agreed to keep the books and
look after the collections and detail
business. Mr.. Scott paid no attention
to the books; he believed everything
was right
Scott first met Mueller at Ana
moose, where he was cashier of the
bank; Mueller had to resign his po-
sition'as cashier, owing to the fact
that he was unable 10 secure a surety
bond. 1t appears that several years
ago, Mueller was cashier of bank at
Grettinger Iowa; he left suddenly one
day and 1t was discovered that there
was a shortage or a discrepancy in
the bank accounts. Mueller's mother
and brother came to his assistance
and Strengthened up the bank AFFAIR,
and the authorities did not bother
themselves about Mueller. A few
years later he turned up at Anamoose.
and secured position as cashier OF
the bank there.
Mr.. Scott knew nothing OF MueI-
ler's past history and thought the
fellow was all right About a month
ago, Mueller left the city; he did not
tell his partner that he was going
He had been talking about a certain
piece OF land in Wisconsin which he
owned Jointly with his mother and
brother; according to Mueller thew
were negotiating a sale Of the prop
erty, and he suggested to his part
ner Scott that he might go down to
the cities and meet his mother there
ana talk the deal over with her;
while he talked over the business of
the hotel with his partner on the
night he left, Mueller never intimat-
I'd that he. intended to leave. After
several days had passed, and no
word was received from Mueller. MIR.
Scott became suspicious and com |
nenced an investigation. He secured |
he services of an expert on the books |
u the firm, and it was soon discovered |
hat the books were worthless: thew |
mean absolutely nothing and there is
10 way OF telling what the business
{ the firm has been or ANYTHING
bout the present condition of at
airs.
1t was further discovered that for
period OF ten days, Mueller had fan-
d to deposit any OF the firms money
n the bank. 1t having been CUSTOMARY
'rior to that time to make daily de-
Iosits.
1t was also discovered later that
dusiler had borrowed a certain sim
money on his note at a local
ank, just a few days prior to his
eparture.
Every effort has been made to To-
ate Mueller, but thus far4no trace
as been found of him.

You held your course without re-

And, last. you fx'd a vacant stare.
And slew him with your noble
birth.
Trust me. Clara We're de We're,
From yon blue heavens above us

Smile at the claims of long descent
Howe'er it be. it seems to me
'Tis only noble to be good:
Kind hearts are more than coronets
And simple faith than Norman
blood.

You pine among your halls and
towers:
The languid light of your proud eyes
Is wearied of the rolling hours.
In glowing health, with boundless
wealth,
But sickening of a vague disease,
You know so i'll to deal with time.
You needs must play such pranks
as these.

Yes, sir, he is,' said the boy.

The Same Sword.-Like most New
England ministers of the time, the Rev.
DR.. Samuel Deane, who was born in
1888 and died in 1914, and who for
many years was pastor of the First
Church at Portland, Me-, was prac-
tical farmer. He was man of learn
ing also, and a wit. Prof. Kittredge, in
his delightful miscellany, The Old
Farmer and His Almanac" says Mr..
Deane, while a tutor at Harvard, made
one jest which has since been falsely
credited to many men.
A visitor, to whom he was exhibiting
the curiosities in the college museum,
noticed a long. rusty sword. and asked
to whom it had belonged.
Il believe" replied Mr. Deane, that
it was the sword with which Balaam
threatened to kill his ass
But" objected the stranger, pa
laam had no sword; he only wished for
one"
Very true" said Mr.. Deane. This
Is the sword he wished for.
