VOLTz S AT
 MOOSEHEART
Phoenix Man Completes His Long Journey Overland Delivers Pack of Burros to Make Hearts of Orphan Children Glad

George w. Voltz has reached Mooseheart, the home of hundreds of orphans of deceased members of the Loyal Order of Moose He made the long journey overland, driving a pack of burros before him. He started out under the auspices of Phoenix lodge, No. 70S. and in his venture was given some financial alu by the city commission and the chamber of l commerce. Although his three young 1 men companions abandoned the trip at Fl Paso, Voltz persevered and completed his trip. Of his achieve ment the Bisbee Review has this to say:
 Its a long, long way to Moose heart. And the trail is lonesome and weary when you walk all the way. Thirty six little burros, their mascot, q dog, and their master George w. Voltz of Phoenix, Arizona, cid not
 seem to mind the journey They reached Mooseheart, nl.. on the Lin 7 coin highway. thirty miles from Chi cago, November P, where they | went to gladden. the hearts of hun ! dreds of little children who are at tending the vocational industrial in stitution of the Loyal Order of 
 Moose.
 ''Voltz started from Phoenix, Ari-
 zona, on May 8, reached Bisbee May l 23, where he was rendered a recep- tiOn by the local Moose. During the l stay of the herd in Bisbee, two bur ros were added to the drive. One
 was given by the police department l of the city and the other by the
 Moose. The former carries the ap- pellation of Jimmie" Appleton and | the other Pap Bisbee.
 | During the trip from Arizona to 1 Mooseheart the driver has had many interesting experiences. One of the Quaintest parts of his drive of Ari- zona animals was the coyote and bull pup, each of which occupied one
 side of the same burro. These two animals attracted the attention of the tpublic all along the route of the trip.
 The idea behind the trip was to 1 provide the orphan children of | Mooseheart. that wonderful institu- tion of the Moose, which provides
 a wonderful home for the parentless children, with a diversion. The drove
 of burros, making its way across the country, has served not only the orig inaI purpose, but has advertised the !
 driver, the Moose of Arizona, and
 the state of Arizona in a wonderful manner.
 Strung together, the columns cf l space received from the various
 newspapers of the country along the
 route would make a mile or more. To this the Moose of the state of Ari-
 zona stand sponsor. It has been a T great boon for the occupants oi
 Mooseheart, it has been great boost
 for the Arizona Loyal Order oi
 Moose, and has given the state itseli and the people thereof some wonder
 full publicity throughout the west and
 the middle west
 "Of local interest, it is said that Voltz will return to Bisbee and mak'
 this city his future home. It is eX- pected that he will remain at Moose heart for several days, however, be
 fore starting for the west"

FRAUD CASE IS
PECULIAR ONE
Difficult to Find Out Exact
ly When Money was Taken
by Money Order Clerk.

Minot. N. D., Dec. 17.-Where did
the $4,000 go, the shortage of which
Jacob Schwirtz, money order clerk at
the Minot postoffice, is under arrest.
1t is known now that the shortage
Is over $4,000 and very significant
fact is that Schwirtz was under a
bond Of only $4,000. Who will make
up the balance is question that is
being commonly asked
Schwirtz is known to be q man of
model habits. He was not an extrava-
CANT spender and so far as is known
had no habits which might call for
appropriations in excess of the
amounts checked out on the semi
monthly payrolls of Uncle Sam.
That the shortage Is of long stand
Ing, is the opinion of those in a posi-
ton to know. The Minot office has
handled remittances for a large num-
Der of small offices in western North
Dakota and Montana 1t is asserted
that the mode of entering these re-
mitances was from a week to q month
late. This method holding up entries
served to keep the records from be-
ing detected when examined by the
postoftice inspectors. In that Schwirtz
has been in the office for a long per-
lod there is considerable speculation
as to when the alleged defalcations
