He was shown around by land men at Onamia and finally determined to purchase a small tract. He went to the depot to telegraph to Tennessee for money, but changed his mind and concluded to write. Then, on the 2561) ult., he secured a livery team from August Eichmiller, ostensibly to go to Milaca and purchase a team of his own. A couple of days passed and, Thomas failing to show up, Mr. Eichmiller became uneasy about his team and came to Milaca to investigate. There he discovered that Thomas had headed south toward Princeton. But Mr. Eichmiller could find no trace of Thomas or the team. Sheriff Shockley was informed and he had several hundred postal cards, describing Thomas and the team, printed at the Union office and he mailed them broadcast. Then the sheriff and Mr. Eichmiller started for Minneapolis, and all along the route were informed that a team, answering the description of the one they were searching for, had passed through several days before- The sales barns in Minneapolis and St. Paul were visited but there was nothing doing.A day or two later the sheriff went to Isanti and from there to St. Francis, then on to Elk River, up the railroad track to St. Cloud and hack to Princeton, only to find he was on a false trail.On the 3rd inst. Sheriff Shockley received word from Sheriff Johnson at Cambridge that a team answering the ..description set forth in the postal card was then and had been for a week, in a livery stable at Grandy, a little railroad town north of Cambridge. The sheriff and Mr. Eichmiller went there last Thuis-day and, sure enough, found the long lost buckskins.It apppears that Thomas had driver, across country from Milaca to Grandy. There he offered to trade or sell the team to a livery man. But the livery man was suspicious and did not care to buy or trade until he had examined the horses by daylight. Before morning Thomas, evidently scenting trouble, lit out for parts unknown.The horses were a little gaunt after their long and cruel drive, probably without food or drink, from Onamia to Grandy. a distance of probably 65 miles, but otherwise they were none the worse for their rough experience.The next stranger that gets a liverv team from Mr Eielimillermurdered, but we do the evidence sufficier returning an indictme: particular person or view of all of the surrounding this deati fore only recommend t authorities continue it to get at the truth of and, if successful, presi to some subsequent i indictment.”The police depar leave no stone unturne to ferret out the pers guilty of this diabolica murder.Bloom-Le \A very pretty home place on Saturday eve her 6, at the home of ] J.
