There was no one there, however, and nothing ‘appegred to be missing in the rooms One door was open, but the young lady tcok it for granted that this was an accident, and went back to bed to sleep. In the morning, though, the young lady found that an intruder had been ‘in the houseâ€"in her room, indeedâ€"and had stolen a nice sum of money that was in a pocket in one of her garments left on a chair in her bedroom alongside the bed.

In fact they grew with each denial. The Advance soon found that there was no sense in trying to get partic= tuilars about any murder or murders, because there had been no murder committed. Then as a matter of inâ€" terest it was sought to discover how the murder stories received their start. At last this was discovered. It seems that two trappers near Island Falls got into a quarrel over trap lines and in front of the cabin of one of them the wordy warfare ended in physical violence. The one used his rifle as a club and knocked the other trapper down Some Indians passing saw the affair and carried the story to "civâ€" ilization."
