is honest and square. Among his

where sometimes professional and
business jealousy has a place, he
is highly thought of. He is

Of the largest enterprises in
Northwestern North Dakota. This is
assuredly some evidence, that those
who are in a position to know, be-
lieve in him. For the present he

eyes dilated with horror as she spoke.

the deck and saw all Of the prepara-

probably took refuge"
Mrs. Chaffee and her husband were
the first cabin passengers upon the
vessel and during the several days
they were on board both became ac-

of the owners of the White Star line,

Faith in Man is Shaken.

Last Tuesday an individual little
the worse For wear and having all
the earmarks of member in good
standing IN the down and out club
dropped Off a train here and began
looking about for some means OF
livelihood. During the course of his
meanderings he entered the studio
Of Fonyille on West Main street and
applied for a job, stating thqt he
was a photographer by profession
and was looking for a chance TO get
4 start in the world again, at the
same time mraveling the usual hard
luck tale.
Fonville was not very fayorably
impressed by his appearance, but as
he demonstrated that he knew some
thing of photography, concluded to
give him a chance, He told him to
look around town and see ii there
was not some view work that he
might get to do and after being out
for some time lie returned and stat
ed that ne had made trade witn
]. S. Owens, the marble dealer, to
photograph some monuments for
him. The next dey about noon he
bundled up a fine view camera and
started out to- do the work as Fon-
Vile supposed, but when he failed
to return an investigation was start
ed, with the result that it was learn
ed that ne had never made trade
with Mr. Owens to do any work, and
diigent search throughout the city
failed to reveal his whereabouts, nor
has he been located up to this hour.
Fonvile is out camera valued at
about sixty dollars as the result of
his generosity toward a total stran-
ger, but stated yesterday that the
next wanderer who came along
would have to possess something
beside hard luck story TO get pos
session of his stuff. In the mean
time the police of other towns have
been notified and he is hoping to ap-
prehend the wanderer before he gets
out of the state.
