TAILORS IN TROUBLE.

Gang of Six in the Municipal Court,
Three of Whom Go to Jail, Two Pay
Their Fines and One Is Discharged.
Five jolly tailors all in row, stood up be-
fore Judge Burr yesterday morning and an
swered to the charge of drunk and disorderly:
They were Charles Lungren, N. Johnson,
John Lungren, Henry Remart and Ole Buck.
Sunday evening they were the guests of Hans
Holden at his tailor chop, 314 Washington
street. A woman, the alleged wife OF one Of
the party, was present The beer. or some
thing stronger, flowed freely. Along about
10 O'Clock, when all were comfortably drunk,
the party began to put on their wraps to sep
arate. One of them went to the assistance of
the lady in putting on her cloak
The alleged husband took offense at
something he saw in this operation, and
general knOck-down followed, during which
officers Bremen and Nugent stepped upon the
scene, and escorted the five above named to
the lookup, and yesterday morning all were
arraigned before Judge Bnrr. Remart was DIS
charged and the other four fined $40 or ten
days each. Charles Limgren and Ole Buck,
and N. johnson and John Lungren went to
Jail. But the circus had not ended. Upon
warrant sworn out by Officer Bremer, charg-
ing Holden, the proprietor with keeping a
disorderly house, that individual was arrested,
and in default of the payment of $25 flne, went
to Jail for thirty days.

Fargo Oak Argus, Nov. 1911
Mr.. Pettigrew, who visits the Red River val.
ley for the purpose OF ascertaining the wishes
of his constituents on the question Of divis.
ion, states that he will introduce bill at the
beginning of the session of congress, the first
of next mouth: First, to create territory
ont Of that section of Dakota bound on the
south by the Forty-sixth parallel. His i'm
preston is that the proper name for this new
territory would be North Dakota, and this
Impression has been confirmed since inter
expressed themselves in favor Of that
name There have been suggestions by one
or two, that Lincoln or Pembina should be
the name.
Second, Mr.. Pettigrew will introduce an
other bill to create state out'of that portion
of Dakota south Of the Forty sixth parallel,
and insist upon the admission OF the southern
half as an Independent state on the ground of
her population, wealth and the general desire
Of her people to accept statehood.
As Mr.. Pettigrew's programme comedies
with that of the majority of the people 30 far
as has been expressed in public print. 1t is
hoped that he will be able to carry it cut. 1t
is absolutely certain that the people of Dako
Ia do not wish the territory, as now constitu-
ted, admitted as one state. Whether it is the
intention of congress to follow the rulings
laid down by the eastern press, or whether it
will pay some attention to the wishes of the
GeonIe living in the territory, as well AZ the
public policy, remains to be seen. But il Mr..
Pettigrew will do as he states, he will no
doubt have the approval OF his constituents.

The Death Of Geo. Lsss.

A New York letter Of the 18th gives the fol-
lowing account of the death Of Geo. Law,
which was briefly mentioned by telegraph
George Law, who died tonight, had been Ill
ten days, and for twenty. -four hours but par
TALLY conscious. He Is the last to die OF Z
triumvirate of three noted men, whose names
are familiar in every portion of the country,
the other two being Cornelius Vanderbilt and
Dean Richmond. The career Of Mr.. Law, as
well Is those Of Vanderbilt and Richmond. af-
tords one of the most striking instances on
country for the rapid rise Of an energetic man.
With only 80 In his pocket when
he started out In life, George
Law, by aagacity and plucky perss-
verance, and without q friend in the
world but his father and mother.
who were unable to aid him, rose,
through the force OF his own indomita-
ole will and perseverance, until he became one
of the wealthiest men in this city, controlling
large corporations and welding great power
in the community. Law began his lfe-work
at the age of Is. after leaving his fathers
farm, in the city of Troy, as q hod-carrier,
worked his way along, saved money, and even
tualIy became contractor, building locks on
the Erie and Lehigh canals. In 1884, with q
capital of $4,000, he went to Chicago, but
vas attacked with fever and returned to New
York. He carried on his work of contract
ing, and amassed fortune, his chief
labor being the construction of the Croton ac-
queduct and the high bridge over the Harlem
river. He subsequently turned his attention
to banking and building railroads and steam
ships. 1t was his steamer, the Falcon, that,
took out the hrst passengers to California.
He Afterwards placed q liue Of steamers on
the California trade. In 1852 Mr.. Law
built the Eighth avenue surface horse
railroad in this city, and was .
large owner of 1t when he died. He also built
the Ninth avenue road. In 1856 Mr.. Law co.
Favored to secure the nomination OF the

THE experience of the Newark and
Boston banks demonstrate that it is IN
safe to place men in high positions Of
trust without watching them closely
There should be no squeamishness about
looking after heightened official. The
higher the tone the closer the watch re-
quired. Eternal vigilance is evidently
the price of the depositors' and stock
holders cash. The man whose accounts
are correct will enjoy having the closest
scrutiny. The guilty may squirm but they
are the ones who need the watching and
the sooner their sensibilities are wounded
the better.

HenSy Meyer. . Cigar Maker, Takes Ills
Own Life by Plunge INTO the lGissis-
sfuul RivaP.

Henry Meyer. . Cigar Maker, Takes His
Own Life by Plunge INTO the Gissis-
sippi River.
At $50 O'Clock wrecked life was ended BY
plunge into the icy waters Of the Mississippi
river. The plunge was made from the plat
form Of the steamboat warehense at the foot
of Jackson street, and the person making the
leap. as 1t Afterwards transpired, was Henry
Meyer, cigar maker about 50 years Of age.
After jumping into the water, Meyer made no
effort to save himself, but on the contrary
seemed to exert himself to keep his head under
water. 4 teamster saw him jump and gave
the alarm, and parties at work about the st.
and rescued Meyer, taking him IS quickly az
possible into the freight house, and
q messenger sent for physician,
DIR. Quinn responding. When brought
ashore was still breathing and although every
effort was made to restore animation. the chill
sustained was too much for his debilitated
system, and he breathed his last in few min
utss.
The remains were removed to Donnelly &
xcCarthy's undertaking rooms, where at IL
m. Coroner Davenport held an inquest, at
which it was developed that Meyer had been
drinking quite heavily for the past two weeks,
sunday morning about 9 o'clock he called at
the office of James Harrson's cigar manufac-
tory, 1913 East Third street, for whom he has
lately been working, and inquired Of the clerk,
W. B. Albro, for the proprietor, saying he was
in trouble. While IN the store he talked wildly
about parties seeking his life, etc, showing
clearly that his mind was unsettled. Yester-
day morning, however, he went to work at z
O'Clock, nothing strange being observable
in his demeanor. At about 8 o'clock, how
ever, he left the shop and walked down Third
to jackson, and down Jackson to the steam
boat platform, and, without q halt or look
back, made the plunge into the river as
above. @
Meyer was born In Hsnsver, Germany. He
came to this country about 1852, and shortly
after enlisted In an Illinois regiment. with
which he remained until the close of the war
10 1855 he came to St. Paul and opened A
small tobacco store, but did not make q sue
cess of it In 1879 his wife, who was q deli
cate woman, lost her reason and was sent to
the asylum at st. Peter. She was one Of the
unfortunate occupants Of the south wing
when it burned about year ago. After the
fire she was sent back here, aud
her mental condition being greatly
restored, the family, consisting Of two
boys and the husband, were reunited. After
hree months her mental troubles had re-
turned and she was again sent to St. Peter, the
two BOYS, and 9years, going to 1--we, one
each, with sisters of Myers, where they now
are.
Since then Meyer has been greatly depressed,
to drown which he drank heavily, finally re-
sulting in the tragedy Of yesterday morning.
