Col. Chase yesterday received telegram
from E. W. Clark, a grocer at Owatonna,
stating that his daughter and cousin,
both girls about Is years of age, had run
away and had probably gone to Mime
apolis. The police after some little search
ing, found the runaways at the Merchants
lodging on Nicollet avenue. At first they
vehemently denied that they were from
Owatonna. and gave soI.ie fictitious names.
Mrs Clark, mother of one of the girls, II
seems, had come to Minneapolis several
days ago ON matter OF business
and had just received word OF the
escapade. She visited police mead
quarters and was confronted by the
two girls, who Immediately burst into
tears Mrs. Clark did not hesitate to give
some mOtherly advice in a very energetic
way to the truantS, who sobbed out their
penitence. They were victims of the stage
fever, and thought that Minneapolis would
afford them a field in which to develop their
histrionic talents. They had already visited
Pence opera house in quest of an engage
ment and had received some encouragement
from the management, which was inclined
to give them a chance to show what ORA
matte ability they possessed. instead OF
treading the boards last evening, however,
in the soul-Stirring drama of the MAID OF
Croissey." as they anticipated, they prop
ably cried themselves to sleep at their quiet
home in the village of OWatOnna.

VSnv

ored Man.
Julia Lydon, daughter of Daniel Lydon,
is an notwithstanding girl of apparently
Is years, who has been employed as nurse
girl in the family of A. L. Stump, the
butcher. at III North First street. About
two weeks ago she made the acquaintance
of John Cummins, colored porter in l.. S.
Shermans saloon on Lookup alley. John
is about % years old, is nearly coal-black
in complexion and would not pass as good
looking among people of his own color.
Nevertheless the young and susceptible
girl for some reason became infatuated
with him. Almost daily when she was
taking Mrs. Sumps twins out for an air.
ing she would wheel the baby-carriage
down the alley to the rear of the saloon,
where she would meet her dark-skinned
lover. Last Monday Cummins procured a
marriage license and they were married by
colored minister named johnson. Thurs
day the girls parents learned that she had
left Mr.. Sump'S house, and finally discov-
cred that she had gone to live with the
negro. They applied to the police and a
fruitless effort was made to find the pair
Yesterday Cummins was found at work at
the saloon and appeared perfectly uncon-
cerned. He exhibited a marriage certif-
cate and stated that the girl had told him
she was over IS years old. He was not in
clined to tell where she was, and appeared
to understand that nothing could be done
legally to separate them. Just here the
matter rests at present. The girls rela-
tives and friends will undertake to per-
suade her to leave Cummins, and her
father threatens to shoot him.

EVADING TAXATION.
Lumbermen and Millers Brought
to the Scratch

The city board of equalization is using its
best endeavOrs to have every foot of logs
and lumber owned in Minneapolis placed
on the tax lists, in which good work the
community will wish it God speed. Of the
$40. 600, 900 feet of logs destined for Mime
apolis only 40, 600. 900 feet have found
their way into the assessors Office and the
board is endeavoring to account for the
missing 200, 900, 900 feet. 1t is developed
that many lumbermen have schemed to de-
fraud the city in the matter of taxation by
transferring their logs to parties beyond the
state on April 30 and receiving them back,
when the assessment lists have been COM
pleted. The board found several cases of
this kind yesterday. and it is probable the
courts will be called upon before the matter
can be settled 1t is proposed to make sew
eral test cases and obtain ruling by Sep
TENDER, which will be a precedent here
after.
The board will next turn its attention to
the millers. 1t is claimed that thousands
of bushels of wheat are owned in Mime
apolis on May ], by others than producers,
which the assessor was unable to list. An
effort will and should be made to rectify
this and make the rich millers bear their
just share of the burden of taxation.

NEATLY NABasED.
A Horse Thief Corraled and the
PLUMBER Recovered.


Detective King rounded out very neat
piece of detective work yesterday, and as a
result landed E. E. Jones in the lookup,
to answer to the grand jury on charge OF
horse stealing, besides recovering all OF the
plumber. 1t seems that on June "a he stole
a phaeton from c. NJ. Foster, which Detect
i've Quinan afterwards recovered. On
July Jones stole horse from Lundstrom,
1905 Third avenue SOUTH since which time
King has been quietly working up the case.
He learned that Jones put the horse INTO
Foote'S phaeton and drove onto the Eden
Prairie road, where he met farmer and
traded the phaeton for an open seated
buggy He then traded the horse for a
French pony, and with the entire new out
fit returned to Minneapolis. After little
dckering he sold the team to Fort Smell
ing carpenter named Teschler for S66.
Since then Jones has apparently enjoyed
the immunity of security, but King has
been working the case. Yesterday he took
Jones into custody and obtained comics
sion from him, the result of which was to
obtain the horse, buggy and harness. Jones
is in the lookup and will probably go over
the road.
