two starting off together, Temple
turning around remarked TO Comfy,
Sir, I'll see you again about that"
After transacting his business with
Warrington, which was, as proven
by the testimony, OF a private and
personal nature, Warrington re.
turned to the field 20 his work.
Then Temple called Comfy to come
to him, who was then on, or near
the river bank, When face to face,
the loud, angry voice and language
of the two was partially overheard
by the witnesses, who at a distance
OF some two hundred yards were
watching md anticipating some
trouble, when all Of u sldden, Con

Attempted Pocket Picking.

Yesterday afternoon, just as Mrs. Anna
He'll was passing along in front of the
auction store at the corner of Third and
Cedar streets, she felt some one trying to
pick her pocket. At the time there was a
large crowd blocking up the
sidewalk. She turned around, and
saw rough-looking young fellow near her.
He assumed far-off gaze; she suspected
him, and spoke to him. She then pushed
along through the crowd, and again felt some
one tugging at her pocket. She turned
around and recognized the same young man
behind her. At this she threatened him with
the police. She essayed again to proceed.

Two strangers to the city, but companions,
arrived here Friday afternoon. They came
from Willmar. One was Monroe Ross, the
other James Leggison. They pat up at the
American Hosue. Both had worked to-
gether harvesting and at other farm work
for two months in the vicinity of Willmar.
They had become inseparable companions in
their pleasures as well as labors. James
Leggison had Travelled. Monroe Ross was a
Canadian country youth, who had strayed
down to these parts, but had always kept in
the woods. Leggison filled the young mans
mind with descriptions of city life, and filled
him with distaste for honest country toll
Leggison represented hiuself as railroad
engineer, and one day told Ross he'd gotten
a place on the Northern Pacific road. Would
Ross go with him as fireman? Of course he
would. The two came here en- route
to the new field of labor. Friday night
they started out to see the town, the young
man under the guidance of his older COM
panion. AS they were about leaving
the hotel, Leggison suggested the propriety
of leaving their money with
the clerk, for fear, etc. Ross
agreed. Leggison then said it would cost
them 25 cents apiece for its custody, if both
packages were handed in. But if bundled
together it cost single quarter. Ross
handed over 800, and Leggison rolled it up
in his own $40 and stepped back towards
the hotel Office.
Returning almost Immediately, he and
Ross went out on the streets and turned sew
eral corners and made several stoppages.
Coming into the hotel late, Ross said he'd
go to bed. Leggison said he must go out
and back to 'that there place" again. Ross
went to bed, and getting up early, as
usual, he hung around the hotel until
8 o'clock, waiting for his friend. But Jim
didn't show up. Wanting cent or so, he
walked up to the clerk antLspoke about his
money in his, the clerks, custody. Imagine
his establishment when he was told that
Leggison had given no money to the hotel
in trust Ross started lot of inquiries, the
clerk explained. And Ross was convinced
that he had been victimized. He was advised
to report at police headquarters. He did So,
and gave Leggison's description. He is
about 5 feet inches tall, stout; has reddish
complexion, heavy sandy moustache, light
hair, bold and very dark eyes. Up to late
last night no trace of the confidence man
had been found.
