Sz | COOKED IN CROOKSTON “Shorty’’, Man Wanted By Bemidji Authorities, For- merly Lived There. WAS EMPLOYED AS COOK DUR- ING WINTER MONTHS. Left Crookston in January to Re- turn to the Blackduck Country. Crookston Journal: ¢Shorty”’ Wesley, the Blackduck home- steader who disappeared from that locality so mysteriously last spring and for whomactivesearch is now being made by the police throughout the country, spenta portion of last winter in the city and is quite well known among certain circles ia the city. Wes- ley while in the city was em- ployed by Robert Casmey, Jr., of this city as cook and presided over the kitchen of a bachelor’s hall which Casmey ran on south Main street. He attended to the work in connection with the po- sition for some two months or more leaving finally for the Blackduck country where he owned a valuable claim, or at least was supposed to have an in- terest in one. Wesley while here managed to accumulate considerable amount of unsavory repute and became mixed up in several little scraps and brawls which did not attain sufficient size to get into the po- lice court. After going to the Blackduck country he wrote sev- eral letters back here to young women of the city with whom he became acquainted, but since early spring no news whatever has been received from him. That he passed through here however, is quite certain and it is equally certain that some time helived at Grand Forks. Sheriff Bailey, who is upon his trail has gone as far north as-the boun- dary, but has as yet been unsuc cessful in landing his man and it may be possible that Wesley has taken to the tall timber across the line and is safely in hiding in the King’s domzin. He is wanted for complicity in the Dahl mur- der at Quiring and it is believed that his apprehension will throw wuch light upon the mysterious affair, Conway’s Commercial College opens fall term Sept. 5, 1904 Shorthand, typewriting, Book- keeping, Commercial law, life scholarship $50.

Duffy Leaves Hus- band With Brother-in-Law for Parts Unknown. WOMAN TAKES TWO CHILDREN WITH HER. The Parties Boarded Great North- ern Train at 12:40 0’Clock Monday Night. Mrs. George Duffy left Be- midji in company with her brother-in-law on the east bound Great Northern' train Monday night, and it is feared by her husband and neighbors that she has eloped. Mrs. Duffy’s two children accompanied her. Mr. and Mrs. Duffy came to this city from Cass Lake and he has been employed at the Crooks- ton Lumber company’s electric plant. He came home yesterday morning to find his wife and two children missing, and upon in- quiry among neighbors learned that they had departed the night before in company with one Mor ton, a gambler who was staying at their home, and who was a brother-in-law to Mrs. Duffy. Duffy had received no word from his wife about her depar- ture, and is consequently almost certain that she left for no good purpose. He is very angry about |3 the circumstance, but as yet has taken no steps to arrest the cou- ple, and it is not known whether or not he will do anything to bring back his wife. Mr. Duffy has been a steady workman at the mill and has car- ried himself in an upright man- ner since he came to this city, || and no reason for his wife’s ac- tion is given. It is said by some of the neighbors that Mrs. Duffy claimed that her husband abused her, but thisis taken to be un- true by those who know the gen- tleman personally. LUNATIC IN TOWN Wisconsin Man Thought Would Be Lynched and Was Ar- rested By Authorities. Thos. Lawton, who has been stopping at the Tremont Hotel in this city for the past week, was arrested by the authorities yes- terday afternoon and brought be- fore Judge Clark last night on a charge of insanity. He was proven gulty, but as he is not a resident of the state it is not known whether he will be com- mitted to Fergus [alls or turned over to the authorities of Wiscon- sin, where he formerly made his howme. The man seems to haye a de- lusion that some one is after him and trying to lynch him. and told a number of people yesterday not to allow them to accomplish their purpose. Heis at present con- o7 | fined in the county jail, and still seems to think that some one is after him. Judge Clark willleave tonight for St. Paul, vhere he will confer with the state board of insanity regarding the disposi- tion of the Junatic. Sheriff Bailey Returns. Sheriff Bailey returned last { | night from points along the Rainy River, where he has spent the past few days. Mr. Bailey stat- ed to the Pioneer this afternoon that he was not looking for “Shorty” Wesley, but went to the border on entirely different business, and that all the news- paper talk tothe contrary was besh. He stated, however, that much work was being done on *| the Dahl case, and that the per- petrators would undoubtedly be [ | located before many moons. What’s in a Name? Bverything is in the name when it comes to Witch Hazel Salve. E.C. DeWitt & Co., of Chicago, discovered some years ago how to make a salve from Witch Hazel that is a specific for piles. For blind, bleeding, itch- ing and protruding piles, eczema, cuts, burns, bruises and all skin diseases, DeWitt’s Salve has no equal. This has given rise to numerous worthless counter- feits.
