NICELY EXECUTED STEAL.
The Thief Purchased a Farm and Stocked it, Then Awaited His Arrest.

St. Paul, Minn., June 17. - A Pinkerton detective from Chicago, and O'Connor, of St. Paul, yesterday arrested John Lowry about eight miles from Moorehead on the charge of embezzling $46,500 from the Calumet & Hecla Mining Company at Calumet, Michigan. Lowry was the confidential clerk of the company and about two years ago decided to leave them to go West. The company offered him inducements to remain, but he persisted in going. A short time ago, one of the contractors brought suit against the company and in the trial of the suit it came out that Lowry had forged a receipt from the contractor to the company for $3,000 and placed that amount of the company's money to his own credit. An investigation was then made of Lowry's accounts which resulted in the discovery that he had forged seven other receipts in a similar manner. Lowry was found at his Moorehead farm, which contains 2,000 acres of land improved with fine buildings, fences, and an elegant office, and is well stocked. The whole is worth about $30,000. After his arrest he made a full confession and said he was expecting the matter to come to light and was only waiting for it. He is a sober, industrious man about thirty-five, married and has four children. He was taken to Houghton, the county seat of that county.
