William Matteson is one of these unfortunate beings.

And such was the case. Therefore William was discharged. William had just murmured his tbank to the court, and was about to depart from the dismal scene—for that munici pal court room is a darksome retreat In spite of Slime haunting bright smile»s ! when tj>e heavy hand of the bailiff descended upon his snoulder. William affected surprise wheu informed that he was again under arrest What for? Why, because Clustaf Johnson, a gentle man of confiding tendencies, had signed a complaint charging William with mis appropriating 1100 in cash which Mr. 1 arson had entrusted to him. Of course, William denied the charge, but he was held nevertheless, for an exam ination which will beheld tomorrow. Mr. Johnson says that he let Mr. Matiesun have the f 100 upon the letter's representation that he would secure Mr. Johnson an eugineer's job in Mil waukee. Mr. Matteson's r»al name is Lunn, and under the latter name he is known at Stiilwater for the last year or i so. • Andrew Larson will spend the next nintty days in the workhouse for steal ing a load or hny from Mr. Peters, ou Como avenue.
