HORSE STEALING
CHARGE MADE
oDNEY. ALIAS RuckENsoN. is
SOUGHT BY GRAND
FORKS OFFICIALS.

Grand Forks, Jan. 2.-Sheriff Ben
son and officials throughout this sec
ton of the county are looking for
Olaf tOdney, alias Ole Buckenson,
who is alleged to have stolen a horse
from ]. w. Batter, proprietor Of the
Central livery barn. The warrant for
Odney's arrest was sworn out last
night after he had failed to return
with a horse and cutter which he
hired Tuesday afternoon.
According to the complainant, Cd
ney Or Buckenson hired a horse and
cutter at the barn Tuesday evening
on pretext Of going to the home of
Andrew Knutson, nea Thompson. He
was to return the rig yesterday
morning at 3 O'Clock. Mr.. Baxter
waited until night and when nothing
had been heard of the rig or the man
a warrant for his arrest was Issued.
Inquiry revealed the fact that no
such man had gone to the Knutson
home and that no such man was en-
ployed there.
The horse is described as a bay
mare, 8 years old, weight about 900
pounds. The point of its left hip is
sunken. The cutter is trimmed in red
and contained two new black robes.
There was one string of bright bells,
The ma is described as about %
years of age, smooth faced with a
crooked nose. He wore a short sheep
lined coat
Officials In all parts of this section
have been notified to be on the look
ut for such an outfit and all people
are requested to keep a lookout and
to notify the sheriff at once if such
a man or rig is seen. 1t is not likely
that he could have gotten very far
and there is little chance OF him get
ting away.

SAVING SOULS, $3.50 APIECE.

Worlds Work: During the win
ter of a couple of years back four
apologies for men became aequaint-
ed at one of the several missions in
the ~tenderloin of Philadelphia. Each
was a 'bumb" of the uttermost, gut
.termost type. Arthur w. Taylor was
a college man. He had been brought
up in a christian household by
christian parents. Al scion of one of
Virginia's Oldest families, was the
second of the quartet, George "A. Ty-
Ter. Randolph M. Lawrence was a
civil engineer. His parents We're
wealthy, and at the time he COM
menced his career his prospects for
those of the average man.
The only one of the hour who did
not fail was George Long. Born and
brought up a ri son of the tender
loin, he had nothing to fan from.
These men, converted in a Vine
street mission, descended In a body
on "Helfs Half Acre" Philadelphia's
worst slum, and founded a mission on
a combined capital of Is cents. In
two years, conversions believed to be
sincere to the number of 1853 were
effected. The founders have comput-
d that the average cost to set a man
with the right kind Of stuff in him
on the road to better things is ex-
actly $3.50.
IN this first year a total OF 2S.040
men and women attended the nightly
services, I1,173 lodgings and 32,162
meals were furnished. eighty-four
children were enrolled in the Sunday
school and more thar 1900 one-time
,hoboes'' have received positions in
and about the city.

LENTEN SEASON
WILL Be SHORT
ASH WEDNESDAY WILL COME
ABOUT AS EARLY AS 1T CAN
THEREFORE EASTER SUNDAY
WILL BE VERY EARLY IN THE
SPRING OF 1918.

For only the fourth time since
1888. l25 years ago, Lent will begin
this winter as early as February IL.
Easter will fall on March 20. This
forty day season prescribed by the
church as one of fasting and prayer
never has begun any earlier, except
in one year. 1913. Easter this year
falling on March %.
Owing to the early arrival of Lent,
the season" will be one OF the
shortest on record. Easter frequent
IL has fallen in as late as April Is
or April z, and probably will hit in
around some of these dates between
1914 and 2013.
In the latter year, according to the
church almanac, the date again will
be March. So those who suffer by a
falling off Of business this winter In
consequence of the early date need
alton during their lifetime, for it will
not happen again for 100 years. In
the past Easter has come as early as
March %, in 1888, 1916 and 1856.
The moor is responsible, and ac-
cording to officials at the federal
nautical almanac Office, this RESPONSE
bility for such changes in dates is not
borne by Luna, as observing people
see her in the skies, but by another

ideal moon and "the ecclesiastical
moon"
Easter" one of these officials said
recently, land with it, of course,
the beginning of Lent, is a movable
feast, and is fixed by the ideal moon
| adopted by the churches hundreds of
years ago, when they were attempt
ing to settle upon a hxed date for
Easter. There is very little differ
ence between the true moon and the
ideal moon, in their phases.
Sometimes the ideal moon or
ecclesiastical moon may just miss
the true moon 1t is q complicated
astronomical subject, but it is safe to
say that Easter comes on the first
Sunday after the first full moor after
March 81.
In the early church. Easter was
identical in date with the Passover,
as, in fact, the two festivities are
identical in their root, After the
Nicean council Of A. ID. 1875. chris
tians adopted the Jewish method of
| reckoning time by lunations, which
are the movements of the moon.
These eunations do not tally with the
facts of astronomy. The results is that
Easter calculations are so e~xtraordi-
nary difficult as to lead to occasional
mistakes, as hat of 1913, when Easter
was observed on the wrong day.

BARE MURDER
FOUL PLAY SUSPECTED I'M THE
DEATH OF RUNAWAY WIFE
OF OHioAN.

Denver, Col, Jan. Either by u
der or suicide the life of Mrs. r.. r.
Kline, said to have been the wife of a
wealthy Toledo, o., lumber dealer, was
lost in a rooming house in Denver,
where she was staying with a man.
Dispatches from Toledo to the local
police indicate that the mHn is a
wealthy banker of that place.
This individual, when questioned by
the coroner said that he had married
Mrs. Kline about two weeks ago. Mar
garet Kline. the 7~-year-old daughter
of the dead woman, declares that he is
not her s~tepfather, and that her real,
father told her and her mother good
bye when they left Toledo.
The body was discovered by the pro-
prietor Of the rooming house. For
more than an hour she had heard
sounds of so/bing coming from the
room which was occupied by Mrs. Kline
and the man. Finally she decided to
Investigate, and upon opening the UNI
locked door found the body Of Mrs.
Kline lying on the bed with the head
bed, with her arms tightly clasped
about the body Of her mother.
Found Mother Dead.
The child was not in the room, ac-
cording to her story, when her mother
died. She entered about 5 O'Clock and
found her mother lying on the bed In
just the attitude in which she was
found when the proprietor entered.
She says she tried to arouse her
mother, and failing, began to cry.
The police, anxious to establish the
identity Of the man who had been with
Mrs. Kline, asked the girl concerning
his alleged marriage to her mother.
Hes not my papa" Indignantly ex-
| claimed the child. MY papa is In To-
ledo and he kissed us goodbye at the
train.
She declared the man joined them at
some station on the way to Denver,
though she could not say what the
town is.
Mrs. Kline's parents are said to live
in G~alesburg, Ill.
