IS AN EXPERT STENOGRAPHER

But Lost His Job on Account of Hard Times and Is Now Plowing Corn. Mr. Bennett, who discovered the dead man up the track Sunday, is working at Conrad, helping plow corn. When his testimony was taken it was found that he was a stenographer and he was given the job of taking down the evidence of the Coroner’s inquest. He proved to be an expert at the business and ..followed the conversation swiftly and reliably, afterwards turning to the typewriter and writing the whole matter up. It seems that he had been working in Chicago on the Iron Age and being let out of a job took it down the track for the country on the lookout for another. His money gave out and he was compelled to walk. When he reached Morocco he was tired out and was glad to take a job at anything that presented Itself. This happened to be plowing corn and he is now busily engaged at that vocation. There is hardly ever a time that a man cannot get a job at something or other if he is willing to work, and this young man seems to have the right stuff in him. —Morocco Courier.
