NUMEROUSLY WORKED.
Brace of industrious FOrger
Fleece MINNEAPOLIS Victims.

1t has been some time since Minneapolis
people have been excited by the manipula-
lions Of a clever fOrger. Yesterday, how
ever, the public was agog with the pecula-
lions of pair of fOrgers whose operations
were numerous if not extensive in the Yari-
Gus amounts involved.
Thomas q. Blaine is said to be the name
of the principal, while his associate in the
trlckery was fellow named q. II. Carroll.
The denOuement OF the affair denotes that
they have liking for the allurementS of
the vaudeville associations. On Wednesday
Blaine forged &. H. Helen's name to a
check for $50 on the First National bank.
payable to J. 3. Mack. Getting it cashed
at the bank. they visited the Theatre Colnique
where they had happy time, a sort
OF blowout, making the ac
quaintance of Manager Brown, winning his
confidence to that extent that he accommO-
datingly caShed a check for $40. payable to
J. B. Mack, which name Blaine had as
suned for convenience in his peculating ca
reer. Spending the money so obtained
pretty literally for an hour or so, the two
departed, subsequently visiting J. E.
Booths saloon on Hennepin avenue, where
their operations were successfully renewed.
X. Sherwood, the binder, was the next
name taken up and forged to due bill for
$3.50. Booth accepted it and also cashed a
check on the Merchants National bank of
st. Paul for S13 for Blaine. who again
signed the name of J. B. Mack, and a
check on the First National bank Of Min
neapOlis for S. for Carroll.
1t did not take Mr.. Booth long yesterday
to ascertain that neither had a cent
in the bank, and that the bank officials
knew no such parties. The matter rs
promptly reported to the police and suisse
quently Carroll was arrested. but Blaine
was not found. 1t is surmised that he
skipped for Winnipeg.
Since the above was written Blaine has
been arrested, consequently both parties
are in custody. B. II. Helen, one Of his
victims, happened to meet him on the
street, and following him up quietly,
pointed him out to Officer West, who took
him in.

The New Masonic Temple.

The board of directors of the Masonic
Temple association held its first legal meet
ing last night, and formally ratified the
election of the officers as already named in
the articles of incorporation. Not all Of
the stocks books We're present, but it was
shown that already, without any formal
solicitation, and at the mere opening of the
books, $50, 600 of the stock had been taken.
The board considered this showing as re-
markable, and were considerably encOur-
aged, considering the outlook for the new
temple as especially flattering. Various
committees were appointed to carry out the
necessary work, and the board adjourned
until its next regular meeting.

Yesterday morning Miss Laura Stott,
seventeen-year-old daughter of Mrs. S. L.
Stott of 21S Eighth street south, had ter
rible accident. which narrowly escaped
fatal result. She was coming down the
front stairway when her foot caught in the
carpet, precipitating her headlong down the
stairs. In the fall she struck the banister
rail and was thrown over it, striking her
head on hat-rack. The several blows
were each terrific and she was found lying
unconscious on the floor. Her face was
frightfully cut in several places and she re-
ceiyed serious bruises about the body. With
difficulty consciousness was restored and
last night the young lady, though suffering
intensely, was in fair way to recover.

Gen. Rosser, Hon. z. N. Wilson and
Col, McClory yesterday went to Fort Smell
ing and extended an invitation to Secretary
EndicOtt to visit Minneapolis. to-day. The
invitation was accepted but the visit must
be Of necessity very brief, as the secretary
and his party this evening will return to
Washington. The following are the ar
engagements: The party, consisting of Secre-
tary Endicott. his wife and daughter. Gen.
Terry and family, will arrive on the motor
at 1910, and alighting at the Fifth street
crossing will go at once to the West hotel,
where a luncheon will be served. At 2
o'clock an informal reception will take
place in the parlOrs, when the secretary
will spend a short time receiving those who
may call, A short drive around the city
will conclude the visit, when the party will
return to Fort Smelling to prepare for their
home ward journey. 1t is regretted that too
little time is allowed to show the secretary
the beauties of Minneapolis, but it cannot
be helped, as it is only owing to an un-
expected change of program that the visit
to Minneapolis is rendered at all possible.
