A YOUTHFUL FORGER
Wanted in Duluth and Believed
TO Have Operated Here.

In the city lookup is young Swede
named Anton Saar. He is an innocent,
Notwithstanding youth of twenty-five
years, but he is believed to be at the
bottom of several of the small forgeries
committed here, but at present he is
wanted at Duluth. Detective r. A.
Benson, of Duluth, made the arrest,
having followed him to Minneapolis,
thence to st. Paul, where he arrested
him at a boarding house on ROsabel,
between Fourth and Fifth streets.
Last week, half dozen forged
checks were worked off in Duluth on
Bell Il Co., Hale Bros. and others, and
for time baffied all efforts at detection.
Benson worked the case up and finally
traced the young man here. The forger
made the most of his time here, as he is
believed to have worked off the forgeries
on Z. p. Stevens IL Son Monday. In
spectors Lawrence and Kinney visited
him in the lookup last night and
thought they recognized him from the
description. Detective Benson will
take his prisoner back this morning. 1t
is not thought Saar was connected
with any of the Tin dinner pail forg-
cries" here.

Johnson. The latter remarked that no
person of average intellect who under
stood the English language could claim
with any degree of intelligence that the
word shall should have such a con-
struction. 1t might in French, per
haps, but not in English las she is

Aid. L'Herault intimated that there
are persons who understand English
quite as well as French, and said gen
tleman named Webster, who probably
knew as much about the English Ian
guage as the eminent alderman from
the Second ward, was his authority for
the definition of the word ''shall." The
substitute was then carried by vote of
IA to 13, and the ordinance as amended
was passed by vote of 81 to 6.

later on went out and hunted up the

him nearly four hours.
