Is Through With Mess REAL HEIR STILL MISSING Small Fortune Awaits Long Lost «Son of Murdered Glad- stone Ranch-Owner ——_—. Unless “Jay Allen Caldwell” finds some way of appealing from the su- preme court of North Dakota to the United States courts, the last c! in the mysterious “J. C. R.” Si which has agitated the northwest for several years past may be consiaeret to have been closed when the North Dakota supreme court attirmea we action of Judge Nuessle, presiding in the Stark county district court, in branding "J. "as a rank im- poster. “J. C. R.”, the so-called “man of mystery,” was picked up on a station platform at. Waseco, Minn., in a semi- paralyzed condition several years ago. He was taken to the Minneso- ta state hospital at Rochester, Minn. whence he escaped, turning up later in the Cook county hospital, Chicago, where he was claimed by Mrs, Har- riet Pitkin as her lox® lost son. She seemed to thoroughly establish her claims by ‘identifying certain marks on the man’s body which ordinarily could have been known only to a wile or mother. In the fall of 1915, Mrs, Pitkin, with an attorney and “J. C. R.” arrived in Dickinson and set up the claim that the latter was Jay Allen Caldwell, son of. the late J. C., Caldwell, a wealthy Gladstone ‘rancher, who, with his wife was?slain by a rarch-hand in a pecul- jarly brutal double murder commit- ted more than a year ago. “J. C. R.’ produced proof which convinced some of the neighbors of the Caldwells that he really was the son and heir who had been mysteriously spirited away in his youth. Even a daughter of the Caldwells insisted that “J. C. R.” was her missing brother. But when the case came for trial Mrs. Pit- kin and “J. C. Kh.” and their attorney, failed to put in an appearance. Shortly before the murder of Cald well and his wife, “J. C. R.” again showed up in Dickinson. After. the death of. the Caldwells he joinéd for- ces with a daughter, who becatise’ of a marriage objectionable to her father had been cut off with at pittance, in an effort to break the will which lett the Caldwell estate of $150,000 in trust with a sister of Caldwell for’ the, benefit. of the missing heir. The case this time came to trial before Judge Nuessle of Bismarck, sitting here on a change ¢f venue, and) the judge rules. the case out of court and denounced “J. C. R." as an imposter. The ‘Man of Mystery”. tien became @ county charge, and a few weeks lat- er he slipped out of town on a west- bound train, and the last heard of the claimant of the Caldwell fortune told of, his begging on the streets. of Ta- , coma and Seattle. urday : ‘ The facts which defeated, the claims of “J. C. R.” were that he was pick- ed up at Waseca, Minn., in May, while day Allen Caldwell, still missing, and for whom a small fortune is. waiting, did not disappear uatil the following October. ington, March s adopted by the seribed in dispatches Saas tu the state department.

San i ; En "1 To The Voters of The 3 City of Bismarck: I wrote a ietter a tew days ago to a limited number of men and women of Bismarck and 1 made certain charges against the Chief of Police why he should not be re-appointed as Chief, and I sz “Tam given to undér- stand that, ifelected City Commissioners, Mr. French and Mr. Larson are pledged to retain the present Chief of Police.” I wish to say that I wrote this letter myself, while sick in bed, without the knowledge of a living soul, and no one obtained any knowledge of same betore it was | mailea except my stenographer. I made the statements regarding Mr. Martineson because I believed it a great mistake if he remains in his present position, and if.the charges 1 made are true certainly I am right, and if they are not true Mr. Martineson has his remedy in the Courts to make me prove same.

The last sentence in the letter should show differently as I said: “Outside of this one issue 1, personally, do not care who is elected.” And had I desired the letter to be a last hour political bomb I would have sent same to all the voters and had same pub- lished instead of sending to twelve citizens only, as they had, to my knowledge, been active in public welfare work, and I explained in the letter that I wrote same as State’s Attorney for the reasons stated therein. til after the same was whom it was mailed. I wish the voters of Bismarck to understand that I personally desire for care little whether Messrs. French and Larson or Messrs. Best and Richholt are elected provided who ever is elected | sees to it that the police force of Bismarck are composed of men who are true to their duties. I have brought about by my letter just what I desired to do—made it so that the willing to say to the have done exactly my duty when I have raised this issue. It may have been poor politics and I may have made some politicians and others sore, but as to that I do not carea rap. I wanted those who desire a moral city to know the conditions as I know them. Personally, I do not care who is Chief cf Police and I have no brief for any one. If asked today whom I desired I would have to say ‘that I . don’t know. And I do not care as long as some one is appointed who will do his duty as such official. f EDWARD S. ALLEN. (Paid Political Advertisement) t Sa Richholt
