LOUIS NIDA DISAPPEARS

Louis f. Nida. we'll kn wn resident
of Hurley, left here for parts unknown
leaving behind him a wife and three
children and a number of Sorrowing
friends. Nda at one time worked on
the staff of the La Nostra Terra, but
shortly after the paper came inta the
hands of the present management Louis
teadered his resignation which was
promptly accepted. A few of his coma
panlons and associates started him IN
a job printing business. guaranteeing
his bals, and also securing for him a
position representing the Western En-
press Company at this place, Louis
attended to business diligently and be-
ing very polished suave and obhgiug
character, was soon doing good busi-
ness IN issuing express money orders
and foreign exchange.
The Maccabees of this town having
been recently organized and IN need sof
a Record Keeper, recognizing the dill
gence and business ability Of Nida ten
dered him the position which Louis ac-
cepted. 1t was certainly pleasure to
a Sir Knight to have the suaye Louis
call ON him for his dues he being so
much more pleasant than honest John
Ohlin who had safely guarded the Mac
cabee treasury for years. Every thing
was going along fine until Feb %
when Louis left here giving out to his
friends that he was going into the Cop.
per mining district to sell tpye writing
machines. Since that time no word has
come from Louis. Imagine the surprise
of his dupes here when word was re-
ceived that the money Louis received
for express orders had not been ac-
counted for and also that the money
Nida received from the members of
the Maccabee tent had not been for
warded to the Supreme Record Keeper
also that the money which had been de-
posted by the Maccabees in the bank
here had been taken cut by Nida the
day before his departure

fled his company who promptly sent
long their auditor Mr.. W. B. Harms o f
Chicago who has been busy checking
up the receipts held by the different
parties here for money orders issued by
Nida and he has assured the depositors
that remittance to cover the orders
issued by Nida has been forwarded to
the address of the parties to whom the
money orders were issued.
We are informed that this not is the
first time that Nida has been guilty Of
such improper practices We are also
informed that Nida has left his family
destitute.

The cattle ranches are disappearing
and the farms will more and more have
to be depended upon for beef. which of
coures, means high priced beef. This is
important to the clover and alfalfa re-
gions of northern Wisconsin. A recent
report from Texas, once a great cattle
ranch country. shows that there is a
large decrease in the number of beef
cattle in the state. Every time Tex
as range is cut into farms, great cat
tie herd is rounded up and shipped to
market to be slaughtered. Few of them
remain on the land. for the reason that
the ordinary farmer does not care to
breed range cattle. He wants the bet
ter breeds which develop into higher
priced beef or good dairy stock
What is true of Texas is true of all
other sections of the west The rang
ers are going to the packing establish
ments and in few years they will he
as scarce as the buffalo. Meantime,
unless there is heavy stimulation Of
cattle breeding on small farms. tie
supply of beef is going to become
alarmingly light.
There is little prospect that the cat
tie ranges of South America will sup
ply the deficiency that is in prospect
They are now pretty we'll covered with
