MEDICAL CASE WAS STOLEN.
Property Found In Brown County
Belongs To MissouIa Physician.

Springfield, February 1.-The arm
of the law has been gradually
reaching out during the past week
in an endeavor to locate the owner
of the kit of physicians instruments
which was found in the Potter
grove some weeks ago.
Sheriff julius visited this city re-
Gently and collected all the facts OBJ
tainable in the. case at that time and
has been in constant communication
with the Minnesota Medical society
and other authorities to ascertain
whether the kit of instruments had
been stolen and whether any new
clue could be unearthed in the
case.
Sheriff Julius says that he had re-
ceiyed telegram from the chief Of
police of Missoula, Mont, this fore
noon, which may possibly clear up
the mystery regarding the physici-
ans instruments. Following is the
telegram received by the sheriff:
"Missoula, Mont, January 3d.
1923.-Sheriff, Brown County: w. ].
Julius, New Ulm, Mimi. Medical
case in your possession property J.
F. S. Marshall, firm of Marshall and
Graphical, this city. Will you waive
identification and ship or shall we
stolen last August. Wire answer
night ,letter.-W. j. Moore, chief
police"
Mr.. Julius, Immediately upon re-
ceipt OF the above telegram came
to this city to confer with the local
authorities and again examine the
evidence on hand, whereupon it was
decided that he communicate with
the Montana physician to ascertain
what instruments the grip contain
ed and whether the kit had been
stolen together with his car or
whether they were taken from his
car or office. 1t is possible that
other evidence may come 10 light
as the investigation proceeds.
The identification markings on
the towel contained in the physici-
ans kit, which in last weeks issue
we Stated bore the inscription sc.
F. S. Marshall" upon closer exam
ination it was found that it may
also be that of -. F. S. Marshall"
but the printed wording on the re-
verse side of the towel is unmistk-
ably "Graybeak," and evidently a
mistake was made in the transmits
sion Of the message which reads
DR.. J. F.: S. Marshall, firm of Mar
shall and "GraybeaI."
Nothing further has been learned
regarding the other articles found in
the immediate vicinity where the
Kit OF instruments was located, but
the authorities do not intend to drop
the matter until they are convinced
that these articles are not connected
with the preparation of a serious
crime or possible murder

ter and the out put was bigger this
year with an increase of 25 per cent
over last year.

year are brighter and better than at
any previous year since the war,
and it was found that the farmers
are gradually getting more interest
ed in producing sweet cream butter.
