Mr.. Bates, the young fellow who
has recently given two dances In
Douglas rafting off a guitar at the
last one, stirred up all kinds Of trouble
last week, and we imagine the end H.
not yet. He was staying at the Whit
comb place southwest of town and in
formed them that he hau secured q
position in Douglas and borrowed a
team and wagon to bring his trunk
to town, then knowing that there was
NOBODY at the place he loaded up a
load of fax belonging to Chas. Bald
uer of Garrison and brOt it to town
and sold it. He then returned and
again the next day he4peL himself to
the team and grain tank and hauled
another load which he disposed of to
Z local elevator man and secured the
money, left the team in a local livery
barnard left for parts unknown.
The authorities have been notified and
are on the trail and he no doubt will
be apprehended.

Postmaster
Assaulted

Postmaster Chadduck, Of Leipsic,
Morton county, was assaulted and
dangerously wounded while he was
going to his house. He had received a
telephone call and was going out to
answer it when he was struck over
the head with club and knocked
Eenseless His condition is serious
but the injuries will not prove fatal.
John Mooney, farmer, is under arrest
charged with the assault but main
tains his innocence. Evidence is
purely circumstantial. There is no
known enmity between the two men.
First reports sent out from the little
village were to the effect that more
police protection was. necessary as
there was fear Of a riot but this prov
ed to be untrue and there has been
no undue excitement following the
assault.

operation at the hospital at James
town for amputation Of the leg be
cause OF tuberculosis. 1t was blue
looking Christmas for the lad, but
kind hearted people of jamestown
