Yesterday morning, in the mayors court,

the charge of grand larceny and held to await
action of the grand jury. His arrest was the
result of neat detective work on the part of one

a house at the corner of Tennessee and Twelfth
streets That evening many articles. such as
wine glasses gobets, napkins and napkin rings,
were missing from the household effects.
Their value was about $40. Officer
Thornton was instructed to investigate the
case In an alley in the rear of the Brodin resi-
dcnce he found napkin stained with paint. In
house two doors away painting had been done
the day the articles were missed. After finding
that the paint in the house and on the napkin
was exactly alike he ascertained the painters
name 1t was Shultz. Going to Shutz's house
on the South Side Thornton was told by the sus-
pected persons mother-in-law that part of the
goods he wanted were in the house. He took
them with him, and short time afterward ar
rested Shuitz on Illinois street, near the Grand
Hotel

Officer Meek Gives Another Exhibition of His
Brutality.

Officer Meek is under 81 900 bond to await the
action of the grand jury for shooting John

meantime he is suspended from the police force.

attend the transfer car during the week and to
assist in managing the transfer of passen-

two children got off Massachusetts avenue car

Our Nominees

Judge VI. }. McCann was squarely
the nominee of the Republican conven-
ton which met at Onida last Saturday,
for the Office of County Judge, and
every man in Sully county who is in
favor of honor and fairness should 90
to the polls on Tuesday, Nov Sd, 1885,
and cast his ballot for him. Ii is a
matter OF considerable surprise that j.
+. Martin. who was himself delegate
in the convention and candidate be-
fore it for the same position, should
now allow his name used for the office,
and we believe that he will consider
the matter in better light and with
draw. Had Mr.. Martin been the nom
inee of the convention we should have
heartily and chccrfully supported him,
but at this stage of our politics all boil
ters and those who are trying to create
dissention IN the ranks of the Republi.
can party should be heavily sat down
upon, rs they were last fall There
may be occasions when the political
ethics of supporting regular nominee
might be carried too far, but they can
have no application in this instance,
for certainly no man in Sully county
possesses either higher moral char
acter or qualifications superior to Judge
NJ. J. McCann.
The nomination Of Judge Samuel
Dewell, of Norfolk, for Representative,
is also mark Of honor and appre ,ia-
ton most worthily bestowed. OF un-
impeachable integrity, his ripened age,
extensive knowledge of Dakota, ac-
quired during many years of residence
and on Government surveys and other
positions OF trust, and, consequently,
through familiarity with the wants OF
our country, eminently qualities him
for this high responsibility. Vote for
McCann and Dewell.
The nomination of Hon Cassius NJ.
Reed. Chairman of the Republican
Committee of Sully county, to repre-
sent this district in the first Senate OF
the new State Of Dakota, assures us an
able, widc-awake and energetic worker
and one who will make himself felt.
His extensive familiarity with the al
fairs of the Territory and acquaint-
ance with its leading men, gained as
Chief Clerk in the Legislature last
winter and as a delegate IN the Con
vention which framed our new Consti-
tuition, will give him both prestige
aud influence in our Legislative body.
