The gathering of the people around | the officials Thursday evening, while trying to capture the crook, who during the day carried on a trick to de- 1 fraud the business man, was, to a ’ I great extent, the cause of the man making his get-away in the large number which collected around, thus aiding him to make his escape in the crowd. I I The farmers of Michigan and Wis-i consm, particularly of the peninsular region, may have aregular gold mine ' in the potato crop which they will j have this fall.
