The young man would feel crestfallen

1t is reported that w. D. Washbura is
voted at the Dunn commercial agency,
with affidavits affirming its correctness, as
being worth between six and seven mil
lions of dollars, large proportion
of which is embraced in pine
lands. Hew this man has amassed this

FALSE PRETENSES
L. III. Nosfhey Goes to Jail for Drascing a
81 Check on q Bank ia Which He had aO
Honey.
Yesterday afternoon L. II. Northey was
arraigned in the police court for drawing
a check of one dollar On the Security bank,
in which he had not cent of money, nor
probably never had. The check he gave
to A. S. Condor, and represented himself
as L. II. Nothey a bokkeeper, but it is
believed his real name is Lewis, and that
he was formerly employed by the Mime
apolis & St. Louis railway company.
The check in question was introduced as
evidence and was shown to the prisoner
who unhesitatingly acknowledged that he
wrote it, and that he knew he had no
money in the Security bank.
The court held him to await the action
of the grand jury in the sum of $500, and
in default of bonds he was remanded to
custody. The court asked the prisoner
what could prompt him to commit such
a silly act of felony, and he replied lacon-
ically whisky"
The Complaining Witness jagged.
The case against Hobart Weeks brought
against him by his wife formerly Mrs.
Griffin) for assault and battery, was called
in the municipal court yesterday after
noon. The complaining witness failed to
appear and a writ of attachment was issued
by the court. Officers West and Gleason
served the writ upon the woman, who was
found in a back room of her dive on
north Second street in state of disgusting
intoxication. Considerable trouble
was experienced in getting her from her
ranch to the police court. She exerted
herself, and the officers are not slow in
pronouncing her the most muscular woman
in Minneapolis, and made it lively, but by
dint of force she was finally ushered into
the presence of his honor, who surveyed
her, and easily arriving at her actual con-
dition, said, you are drunk mo Sir"
she replied 'But can see that you are,
and I think you had best be
locked up until you
sober off," The woman staggered up to
the bar and promised that if the court would
let her go this time she would never drink
again. She, in her earnestness offered the
judge her hand, but the Judge evidently
thought he didn't want it as he perempto-
rily refused the protfer, but permitted
her to go upon her promise and continued
the case until this morning. The woman
was taken from the court room to
the alley where she was SO obstrep-
erous that she was jagged to sober
off. In the meantime the charge
against Weeks was changed to drunken
ness, to which he pleaded guilty and paid
fine of 81, and was released.
