BURGLARS GROW BOLD.
A Suspicion That They Are in
League With the Police.

To say that the buggy and harness
thieves who have been operating so eX-
tensively of late are growing bold, does
not do the case justice. They are get
ting more than bold, and it is not i'm
probable that they will soon break into
police headquarters some night. and
steal the records kept there. Monday
night the Glass block barn, near the
store. was entered by these carriage
and harness thieves, and nearly every
thing portable carried away. When
the drivers went to get the delivery
wagons Yesterday morning they found
the lock on the barn door broken. An
examination showed that four or five
sets of harness, several robes and all
the whips had been taken, causing a loss
of some $500. One of the delivery
wagons had been run out a short dis
lance, but it evidently. did not suit the
thieves, for it was left behind.
Another daring robbery was also re-
ported at police headquarters yesterday
morning. This time it was the barn OF
NJ. d. Wilson, at $3.50 Clinton avenue,
which was entered. The thieves Sc
cured new road buggy, double har-
ness, four single harnesses, saddle,

valued in all at some $500. The lock on
the barn door was broken, showing how
the thieves got in. The hired man, who
sleens in the barn, was awake at 8
O'Clock in the msrning to attend to
sick horse, and according to his story
all the articles were there when he re-
turned to bed.
The police are greatly worried over
all these robberies, and are exceedingly
reticent in regard so them. They are
inclined to think that all the stolen artl-
cles are taken to some carriage and
harness shop here or in st. Paul and
there made over, so that no one will be

Young Crooks Who Operate Under

the Guise of Newsboys.
Charles Mead and Warren Briley,
newsboys and bootblacks ostensibly,
but first-class crooks in reality, were
arrested by Assistant Superintendent of
Police Hoy yesterday afternoon on a
charge of entering Patterson Il Dickin-
sons fur store on Nicollet avenue Nov.
Is and stealing quantity of fur coats,
caps and gloves. The boys were
locked up at the First precinct sta
ton, and short time afterward Hoy
arrested Charles Note, pop corn and
peanut man, Oh the corner of Fourth
avenue north and Washington. on a
charge of receiving the goods and ship
ping them 10 Elk River. Mead and
Briley are young in years, but show an
aptitude for crime which is astonishing.
The way in which they secured all ell
trance into the fur store is worthy OF
note. They hired room on the top
story of the Merchants hotel, three
doors up the street from the fur store.
They lifted the skylignt in their room,
went out upon the roof, and then en-
tered the fur store, where they secured
the goods, and then returned with them
to their own room. Patroman Quealey
left for Elk River to get the goods last
evening.
Emil Haag and 10 Petit, boys from
the "Newsboys' hone," were arrested
last evening on charge OF stealing
several pairs of gloves from Pardridge's
store, on Nicollet avenue. The boys
have been mixed up in similar affairs
before. An effort will be made to send

AN OLD CRIME.

rested.
Early last summer E. P. Skinner, a
young man who was driving for the
Minneapolis Cab company, played a
very neat game on large number of
Minneapolis merchants and jumped the
city, taking with him goods to the
amount of about $500, which he had
swindled the storekeepers out of. He
went to Segelbaum's, Olson's, Benson's.
the Big Boston and a number of other
stores, and made purchases ranging
from SIS to $50. In paymen
for these goods he gave checks on one
of the city banks. The goods he had
sent to his room Oh Fourth street.
When the merchants presented the
checks at the bank it was found that
SINNERS account there was never more
than Sc, and even that had been with
drawn. 1t was next found that Skinner
had left the city, taking with him all the
goods. No trace of him could be found.
A week or so ago he returned to Mime
apolis and has been keeping under
cover at the American house. Last
evening Supt. Hoy and Inspector Fair
BARN heard of his whereabouts and
went to the place and arrested him.
Skinner made no attempt to deny the
charges against him, but sent for his

WITHOUT A QUORUM.
Too Few Take an Interest in the
NeWsbOyS' Home.

Newsboys' Home.
A meeting of the Newsboys' home
was called for yesteiday afternoon, but
no quorum being present an adjourn
ment was taken to O'Clock next Tues
day. The object of the meeting was
the submission Of the annual report and
the election of directors and officers for
the ensuing year. The subject of
quorum seems to have been before now
a stumbling block to the society. AS
first constituted majority of the men,
beers was quorum, but as it was found
impossible to get a majority to attend
meeting, some of the more active
members got proxies and adopted an
amendment that twenty members
should constitute quorum. Yesterday
only seven were present, and consider
able feeling was shown because the
members do not take more active in
terest. After some discussion it was de-
cided to send notices of the next meet
ing to the members, requesting those
who could not be present to give proxies
to some one who would be, and also
suggesting that those who did not re-
spond would be dropped from the mem
herShip role.

HENNEPIN IN ST. PAUL.
Local Statesmen on Their Bien-
NAL Pilgrimage to the Political
Mecca

Local Statesmen on Their BIen-
NAL Pilgrimage to the Political
Mecca.
The lobby of the Merchants hotel at
st. Paul appears to be sort of political
Mecca, which every member of the
legislature is expected to visit at least
once before the converting of the legis-
lature. 1t is in this lobby that the new
members become acquainted with their
future colleagues, and where most of
the political jobs are Matched, and also
where most of the bargains are con-
summated for the purchase of votes to
carry them through the Legislature. 1t
is therefore very uncommon thing
to find very many vacant seats in this
lobby during the month preceding a
session of the legislature, for there are
always a swarm of lobbyists and office
seekers present ready to welcome a
member Of the coming legislature who
may drop in, and great many of the
members are so surprised and gratlfied
with the fuss that is made about them
by these obsequiouS gentlemen that they
abandon their homes, where they are
only plain, everyday personages, and
take up residence at the hotel. OF
course, the lobbyists and politicians,
from long experience in their business.
very quickly size up the members for
what they are actually worth, but as the
vote of a noodle-head or knave counts
for just as much as the vote of states
man. they are very careful not to offend
member-elcct by letting him know
what kind OF an opinion they have of
him. Occasionally, when several of them
fnrnt nlI, aI,1 of tIn ,nr
whose votes they seek are around they
will express their disgust for the per-
SOnages, who, on account of the position
to which they have been elected, they
are compelled to toady to and praise.
Such case came under the notice of a
GLOBE reporter day or two ago, and if
some of the members of the Hennepin
county delegation had been present
they would have felt like crawling into
hole.
"WaShburn7S mercenarieS" is the
name by which the delegation from
Hennepin is generally known, and GER
tain individual members who spend
most of their time at the Merchants on
account of the poor opinion in which
they are held by their constitu-
ents at home, are known by still
more euphonious titles. One gentleman
said that Hennepin had always had
the honor OF sending to the legislature
the man most troubled with ''big head"
and least troubled with brains, but he
thought that the present delegation in
this respect could beat any of the past
delegations. The gentlemen taking
part in the discussion appeared to be
pretty we'll acquainted with the history
of the members and some good stories
were told about a couple of the carpet
bag members from Henncpin county.

stand, is why these robberies alM~.
occur on nights when no specials are
on duty. When the police are not spe-
cially detailed to look out for work
of this kind there are always
several cases reported in the morning,
and the suspicion is gaining ground that
some one at police headquarters is Civ
what nights are safe ones to do any
work in. 1t certainly looks that way,
and now nearly every man on the force
is suspicious of his fellow officers. The
patrol wagons and horses have not yet
been bothered, but there is no telling
when they will be.

Whether or Not He Has the Artist
Who Got 1t.

Ollie N. FARMER, young man who
runs candy store on Bridge square,
was arrested last evening on charge
larceny, preferred by an old farmer liv-
ing OH the outskirts OF the city. 1t
seems that the old man went into the
store and bought two boxes Of
watches. While he was in the store
two strangers came in and wanted him
to change some money for them. He
did so, and when he went to 60 away
he found the he had been ''f1im-
TANNED" out of $40. He made COM
plant against Farmer, thinking that he
stood in with the two strangers. Farm
er, who was released on bail, says he
eau prove his innocence. The old mans
story is to the effect that Farmer is the
man who did the ''flim-tlam" act.''
