Mysterious Man Seen Crossing River Toward Minnesota
A tall smooth shaven man wearing a dark suit and soft hat crossed the Mississippi river wagon bridge toward Minnesota shortly after seven this morning. He hurried across the bridge and followed the riverbank on the far side, glanced back, and attracted police attention. He arrived in La Crosse by freight train. Police doubt he is the known horse thief James Marvin, who has a beard, and argue the stolen 15 year old blind horse from Palmer’s livery would have little value. They suspect the man hid furs between here and La Crosse and sought the wagon for safe conveyance of booty.
