CAUGHT STEALING PROVISIONS

Frank Snider. cook, who came to
Alpha from a farm in Iron Mountain
about three weeks ago was arrested
by officer Noyes Thursday afternoon
on charge of stealing groceries and
provisions.
AS the story goes it seems that Sni-
der drove his team up from Iron Noun
tain and applyed at Camp for a job
for himself as cook and also work for
his team. He was given employment
and during the three weeks he had
charge of the cooking department he
stored away such groceries and ham
as he could without being detected
During all this time the foreman OF the
camp was growing suspicious of his
actions and last Wednesday, when
Snider purchased two pigs from a
farmer nearby telling the foreman that
he was going 10 haul them to his farm
the next morning he grew more
suspicious than ever and decided to
do "A little detective work.
From the time that Snider bought
the perks until early the next morning
the foreman watched his man closely
and was rewarded for his diligent
watch at about six o'clock when Sni-
der hitched up his team, loaded on his
two pigs and, thinking the coast clear,
drove TO where he had the stolen
groceries concealed The foreman. see
ing this performance, was satisfied
that the man had stolen the goods and
had purchased the pigs in order "a
have as excuse to get away from the
camp without rousing suspision. He
set out at once for Alpha where he
notified officer Noyes OF the theft.
The officer left Immediately for the
camp and upon his arrival there found
that his man had already departed to-
wards his farm with team. pigs. gro
ceries and all. He overlook his man a

arrest. II is said that the fellow ther

mind the public that | am still can
didate, in spite OF the reports being
circulated by some OF my opponents to
the contrary. Business matters that
have demanded close attention have
prevented me from spending as much
time in the interest of my campaign as
should have liked to do, but I shall
find time at an early date to call upon
the voters and present my case. Mean
time | wish TO take this method OF
reaching the citizens OF this county in
an equal appeal for their support. and
can assure them that II nominated and
elected. the Affairs OF this office will be
executed in just and impartial man
ner.
