CEYLON BANK SWINDLE.
Stranger Gets $500 by Means Of
Fraudulent Certificate of
Deposit

Ceylon, Minn.-It has come to light
that the First National bank of this
village has been swindled out of more
than $4,000 by sharper" who came
here about a month ago and bought
mercantile business from B. H. Ward
of Minneapolis, which that gentleman
had secured in exchange for land
The, stranger gave his name as John
Carr. and claimed that he had come
from Fairbanks, Alaska
The swindle was worked by means
of certificate of deposit on the First
National bank of Fairbanks, Alaska
the bank here accepting it without in
vestigation. Carr then paid $500 down
and received telegram stating that
his wife, while on her way here from
Alaska, had been taken i'll at Seattle.
I1e departed at once for her bedside.
Before going he drew all of the
$500 he had in the bank except S.,
and disappeared. He had been absent
about two weeks before the bank sus-
pected that all was not straight with
the alleged Carr.
Investigations were then set on foot
which revealed the startling facts that
no such person had ever lived at Fair
banks, Alaska, that there had never
been any money in the bank there to
the credit of such person, and that
so far as could be learned no woman
named Mrs. John Carr had been ill at
Seattle.

NO LONGER SELECTS THE HAT
Hubby's First and Last Experience at
Millinery Store, Was Alto
gether Too Costly.

Congressman Ralph w. Moss Of In
diana did not care much for a hat his
wife wore. He finally spoke about it.
Mrs. Moss admitted that it was plain,
and, instead of taking exceptions to
her husbands remark, invited him to
accompany her the next time she
bought hat
Il can certainly pick out better
one than that" said Mr.. Moss.
So they went to the store together
Mrs. Moss said not word as the
comely milliner displayed one beau
tiful bonnet after another. 1t was the
first time Mr.. Moss had ever been in
a millinery store, but he appeared to
be at ease, and finally selected one of
the most joyful creations in the en-
tire stock. Mrs. Moss looked we'll in
it. She was pleased.
III take that said the Hoosier
congressman. How much is IT."
Forty dollars" said the pretty girl
without even wink.
Mr.. Moss saw blue stars, but luck
lily had just come from the bank
and was able to produce that much
in cash. Now he lets Mrs Moss buy
her own hats and he does not COM
plain about their being plain.-Judge.

M'LEAN WINS ELECTION.
Court Decides Probate Judgeship Con-
test of Wabasha County.

Winona.-James E. Mclean of Wa
basha was legally elected to the pro-
bate judgeship of Wabasha county at
the last general election, according to
an opinion written and mailed by
Judge Snow of Winona to the clerk OF
that county. 1t is said the matter will
be carried to the supreme court.
Mclean, according to the official
canvass of the votes in Wabasha, was
elected probate Judge by 173 majority
over Walter A. Munger, the incumbent,
who contested on the ground that the
names were not rotated on the bal
lots.
Judge Snow says, first, that the
statute does not require the rotating
of names where only two names ap-
pear on the ballot; and, second, that
there is no evidence that the will of
the voters was not fully expressed in
the total figures.
