George B. Wenner’s Stock Held in City For Inspection.

George B. Wenner shipped his farming equipment to Sibley, lowa, and expected to leave for that place today with his wife and children and they were at the station this morning ready to start on the 10:12 train when he received word from Chicago that his stock had been stopped there because it did not bear inspection tags for interstate traffic. <Ed Becker was with the stock. Mr. Wenner had had the stock inspected before he shipped it but had not caused it to be tagged. He procured the certificate from a local veterinary but not until the train had gone and he left this afternoon to present the certificate ahd get the stock started on to their destination. Mrs. Wenner and children went to the home of her mother, Mrs. Peter May, and Mr. Wenner will return here for them after getting things straightened out in Chicago. Trouble never eomes singly, so it has often been said and this applied in the case of the Wenner family. On Monday evening they had all of their household goods packed and in her haste to get away, Mrs. Wenner left her purse on the kitchen table and in the purse was her watch. That evening some friends came to the house to give them a farewell party and dance, but they were not at home. The next morning Mrs. Wenner found that some one had- stolen her watch from the purse. It was worth about $25.
