On Tlmrsday of last week Prosecuting Attorney llandall was called to Milán to look aíter a case there tliat puz.!ed the officials of that burg. It seems Ihat things had coine up missing at the hote' in Milan for several weeks. The first thing w-as a g"!d watch and chain belonging to a daughter of the hotel keeper. Then traveling men stopping there lost different things. One lost a lot of cigars ; some two or three their mileage books on the railroads ; another a couple of new hats, etc. Suspicion feil on an agent named Frisbee, who was canvassing for the new county atlas, and who had been at the hotel for some six weeks, but no evidence could be secured against hint. Mr. Randall issued a search warrant, and Frisbee's room was entered and his trunks searched. The result was just what was expected. Several of the missing articles were found. When confronted with the evidence the agent owned up, restored all things that had been taken, paid all the costs, amounting to about $50, and was allowed to depart, a poorer, sadder, and it is to be hoped, a wiser man. This man, we are told, had been in the employ of the atlas publishing com pany some flve years, had done excel lent work, was receiving a good salary with no expensive habits togratify, anc why he should have fallen from grace seems a mystery all around.
