the lantern but no trace of the WON
an. Believing that some mishap had
befallen her, he made search OF
the premises, but all in vain.
| Husband Became Alarmed.
| Becoming alarmed, he awakened
the hired man, a young gentleman
who recently came from Germany
and could not speak word of Eng
lish. This man put him wise to a
| few facts that startled him. The
hired man told him that his wife
was intimate with G. w. Vickerman
of Ellsworth, and told of instances
when he had seen them together.
With this clue, Mr.. Everts went to
Ellsworth, where he learned that
Vickerman had hired team with a
driver during the night, but they
had not yet returned. Presently the
gentleman who had driven Wicker
man away returned and said that he
had driven that gentleman and Mrs.
Everts to Lester, from where they
said they were going to Sioux City.
Mr.. Everts went to Sioux City
Saturday to look for them. He learn
ed that they had left for parts un-
known. He abandoned the search
and returned to his home Monday
morning.
The woman is Mr. Everts' second
wife, and they have no children. He
has two children from his first wife,
but they are nearly grown. His wife
seemed to get along nicely with
them. In fact, Mrs Everts has al
ways been a model woman until
Vickerman came across her path.
Vickerman a Gay Lothario.
AS to Vickerman, he seems to be
gay LothariO. 1t is said that this
is not the only escapade of the kind
in which he has figured. He is now
married man and leaves a depend
ent widow at Ellsworth. Mr.. Everts
says the only time he knows that
his wife ever knew Vickerman was
month ago, when one evening, he
and another man came to his place.
They talked little while, when
Vickerman suggested that they have
little party, and if he, Everts,
would go to Ellsworth and get it,
he would pay for keg of beer for
the party. Everts agreed to the
proposition, and went to town for
the beer While he was gone, the
hired man says that Vickerman and
Mrs. Everts were in the grove alone,
and did not return to the house un-
til they heard Everts returning.
Everts did not know this until the
hired man told him after his wife
had disappeared. He did not know
that his wife was other than cas-
ual acquaintance of the man."

extradition papers for James Nc
Cormick, arrested in San Francisco,
c. D. Brown, chief of detectives of
the Minnesota Bankers association,
says one of the most desperate and
notorious safe crackers in the Unit
ed States was this morning released
from custody.
A wire was sent to the chief of
police at San Francisco this morn
ing saying that the Minnesota associ-
alton could not get the requisition
papers, despite the fact that the
man had been indicted by the grand
jury.
Emerson Criticised.
Mr.. Brown sharply criticised Ener-
son this morning. He said he had
taken the matter up to the attorney
general who refused to go over Mr..
Enerson's head.
Mccormick was alleged to have
cracked the safe of the Security
State bank of Seaforth, Mimi, on
April 6, 1910. The sum of $4,000
was stolen. In the course of a
week. according to Mr.. Brown, he
got an automobile in st. Paul one
evening and drove to Redwood coun-
ty.

Mr.. Brown and at once determined

Pat Schueler, and he got out with a
posse and automobiles. When Nc
Cormick drove up at dawn the sheriff
placed him under arrest, got into
the car with him and ordered the
driver to go to Redwood Falls. He
neglected to search him and after
going along a few moments McCor
mick called the sheriff's attention to
bird or star or something.
Sheriff Looked Into Gun.
1.-The sheriff looked and the next
second an automatic army pistol was
pressed against his stomach. He
was ordered out and he got out.
The bandit shot at him few times
and then punctured the tires of the
sheriff's automobile which was fol-
lowing He jumped from his own
machine half mile on and took to
the woods.
I'VE did not know at this time
who the man was. We kept steadily
at work and cover man discovered
it was Mccormick. The sheriff posi-
lively identified a photograph of Nc
Cormick. We chased him all over
the country. The indictment return
ed was one for assault in the first
degree on the sheriff. This charge
was cinched and we could get the
others later on.
I'VE guaranteed to pay all ex-
penses if the man was not convicted

cash for the initial expenses for the

Ellsworth, Mimi, July 29.-Last
Thursday night B. o. Everts, who
lives on the o. Keck farm in Mid
land township, lost his wife. Thurs
day evening Mr.. Everts suggested
to his wife that they visit at a
neighbours. She did not want to go;
finally he persuaded her to accom-
pany him. She adorned herself in
her best bib and tucker, even put
ting on her watch and other jewelry,
an unusual thing, but which was
easily explained by subsequent hap
penings. They returned from the
neighbors about eleven o'clock in
the evening, when Mrs. Everets went
to the house, while he put the team
in the stable, when he also went to
the house The two talked a few
minutes pleasantly, when Mr.. Everts
retired, and Mrs. Everts remarked
that she guessed she had better go
to the barn and look after some
chickens. Suiting her actions to her
words, she lighted the lantern and
went to the barn. Mr.. Everts re-
tired and must have fallen asleep,
for some hours later he awoke. Not
finding his wife in the house, he
went to the barn and there he found

From TUESDAYS Daily.
Marshal H. J. Benedict arrested
Louis Brown at Winnebago late yes
terday afternoon on a charge Of
drunkenness. After looking the
stranger over the marshal concluded
that he might be wanted somewhere
else for more serious offense than
getting drunk. The fellow did not
look good to the officer. He has a
bruise on the side of his face, and
this abrasion of the skin convinced
the marshal that he must have en-
gagged in a mixup.
Recalled the Hod.up.
The marshal recalled a number of
exciting happenings of late and
among them was the hold-up of the
three Italians near Lake Crystal on
the night of July 81, when the sons
of Italy were roughly handled and re-
lieved of sos in cash. The Italians
are now employed on the Omaha
grade at Winnebago, and it was an
easy matter for the marshal to inter-
view them.
Described Their Assailant.
Picking out two of the men who
had been held up and robbed, Mar
shall Benedict requested them to de-
scribe their assailants. They gave a
minute description of Brown, includ-
ing his crooked nose. Later when
they confronted Brown at the Jail
they positively identified him as one
of the men who had robbed them.
One of the Italians stated that the
bruise on Browns face was caused
by a blow from his fist. The names
of the two Italians are Thomas
James and Gliggor Taless.
Brown Enters Denial.
Brown stated that he is twenty-six
years old, was born in Canada and
lives in Minneapolis. He claimed to
have been employed on farm near
Delavan for the past ten days and
previous to that time he was work
ing in Mason City, so he said. He
denied having had hand in the
hold-up, and said he never saw the
Italians until they confronted him in
Jail last night He denied that he
had ever been in trouble before.
Sheriff Osten was notified of the
arrest of Brown and he Immediately
procured a warrnat charging him
with robbery in the first degree. He
will go to Winnebago this evening
and return with his prisoner tomor-
row morning.

Emmett Rogers has returned from
the meeting at Gainesville, after Wis
iting several towns with Mr.. ST.

of the Texas-Oklahoma League, and
reports that there will be no trouble
in selecting the towns to take the
two remaining franchises.
The four towns now composing
the league are Ardmore, Durant,

franchises are in the very best

Mr.. Rogers says that Durant is
going to make one of the best towns
in the league. They are going to
build new park, and the baseball
affairs being in the hands of Mr.
D. c. Hathcox, one OF the mos.
popular young men of Durant, they
expect a good season.
Another meeting will be held
some time in February, when Mr.
Ted Sullivan, the father of the Tex

organizers in the country, no doubt
will be present, as he wrote Mr..
Rogers some time ago that as he
was coming down with the Chicago
White Sox, the latter part of Feb
ruary, that anything that he could
do for him or the league he would
gladly do. Mr. st. Clair, president OF

of Mr. Sullivan, has invited him tc

said Ladies who recently served
