SEA GIVES UP EVIDENCE
Years Ago After Refusal
to Sell.

Oakland, Gallup where the coast
Of California and Oregon meet,
Charles Elias of this city found a dog
collar issued in Alameda "a years ago.
T~wenty-four years ago Niger dis
appeared from the home Of Mr.. and
Mrs. j. j. Bliss, Alameda.
There came a man to the Bliss home
a few days earlier and begged to buy
Niger, a man bound for Alaska, he
said. But the owners refused to sell.
And SO until last week Mr.. and Mrs.
Bliss knew only that Niger had gone,
and that the man with the fever OF
the Klondike in his veins had gone
also. Then Elias brought them the
collar. The leather is still in good
condition and the name on the brass
plate, 81. j. Bliss, 1894" Is as plain as
the day it was cut.
SO the sea has shed a little light on
the abduction of Niger. He started
for Alaska, at least. Maybe his new
owner cast the collar into the sea But
maybe n of the wrecks that dot the
coast could tell a little more of the
story.

Officers Believe They
Made Good Catch

Brookings, Oct. 18.-Hutchinson
county officers believe they made an
important capture when they trailed
to and arrested in Brookings county
a man travelling under several
aliases, being known as King. Ball
ingford, and by several other names.
King recently fled from Hutchin-
son county while under bond to put
in IN appearance on a gambling
charge.
The very night King disappeared
from Parkston a bank at Olivet, not
many miles from Parkston, was
robbed of about $4,000 in Liberty
bonds and other valuable papers, and
King is suspected of having been inn
plicated in this robbery.
A young man and young woman
who arrived in Brookings with King,
and passed as husband and wife, Sc
cured employment in one of the res
taurants. They probably were given
a Tip" by King or some other con-
federate when the Hutchinson coun-
ty officers appeared on the scone, for
before the officers could arrest them
after taking King into custody, they
disappeared. 1t is the theory of the
officers that the young man and
young woman carried with them the
Liberty bonds taken from the Olivet
bank, and the other valuable papers
caa,rad from tho hank
