He was employed as a harvester. Mrs.
Oetjens' letter follows:
Great Falls, Mont, Feb. 1S, Rev. Mr..
Baker, Minot, N. D.--My lear Sir:
i am much distressed over the mys-
terious disappearance of my husband,
Gust Oetjens who left Minnewaukan,
N. ID, on Oct. 20 for our home at
Kremlin, Mont, / have been unable
to suficIently interest any one in au-
thority to even reply to my inquiries.
Miss Sara Sullivan suggested / write
you as you had been so extremely
kind when her brother died recently.
We were happily married and he was
a total abstainer from liquor and | am
sure he is absent because he is un-
able to get home. The long, weary
months of suspense have about pros
trated me and / wonder if you can
advise me in my search. You might
know someone in the county seats
along the way that would be able to
influence the authorities to at least
have them look up the records. He
probably was riding a freight train.
owing to the fact that the rains pre-
vented him from hardly making ex-
penses. Today ! am writing to the
county coroners along thel way but as
the chiefs Of police and railroad ofi-
Gals did not reply to my letters per-
haps the ~coroner's wont either. Should
you see ft to write any letters ! win be
glad to pay for stationery, etc. VIII
you use the caclcsed envelope

follows:
Bears Sir: Knowing that you have
some interest in the fur business, we
take the liberty of presenting to you
what seems to us a most wonderful
proposition, and in which no doubt you
will take a lively interest, and perhaps,
wire us the amount Of stock that you
wish to subscribe towards the founda-
ton of this company.
The object of this company is to
operate a large cat ranch in or neal
Leeds, N. d., where land can be pur-
chased cheap for the purpose.
To start with we will collect about
one 1000 cats. Each cat will aver
age twelve kittens a year. The skins
will run from 10 cents each for the
white ones, to Is cents for the pure
black. This will give us II, 200, 900
skins a year to sell at an average of
80 cents apiece, making u revenue
about $4,000 a day gross.
A man can skin fifty cats a day for
So. 1t will take 100 men to operate the
ranch and therefore the net proceeds
will thus be $4,000 per day.
We will feed the cats on rats and
will start a rat ranch next door. Rats
multiply four times as fast as cats.
If we start 1000 900 rats we will have
therefore, four rats per day for each
cat, which is plenty.
Now then. we will feed the rats on
the of the cats, from which
the skins have been taken, giving each
rat a fourth of a cat.
1t will thus be seen that the bust
ness will be self supporting all the
way through. The cats will eat the
rats and the rats will eat the Eats and
we will get the skins.
Awaiting our prompt reply and
trusting that you appreciate the wod-
derful opportunity that we give you,
and which will get you rich quick, we
remain, Yours very truly. George Nc
Crea.
p. S. Subscribers to the capital
stock should deliver them to P. c.
