Sneeial TO the Globe

DULUTH, Jan. 31.-Milie Bunnell,
manager of the Evening Herald, has
again gotten himself into trouble, and
it is altogether probable that this time
he is in for it. A protracted jamboree
was brought to a close Tuesday after
noon, when he went in the jewelry store
of j. 81. Isham and by representing
that he had made $1,000 in real estate
deal, and had that amount to his credit
in bank, succeeded in getting
possession of three sets of dia-
mond earrings, the total value of
which was $50, one Of which he was to
present to his wife and return the other
two. No sooner had he secured them,
however, than he went across the street
to the jewelry store OF C. Haug, and, by
telling much the same story, secured
another supply Of diamonds valued at
$685.. Not satisfied with this he next
went to Joseph Chest, but that gentle
man declined to bite. and Mile turned
his attention to Andrew jackson. The
latter declined to state the value OF the
diamonds he secured from him, but it is
known to have been in the neighbour
hood of $500. This seemed to satisfy
him in the diamond line, and he turned
his attention to securing cash on
checks he was not authorized to sign
for the Evening Herald. A $50 one. to
the extent of S45. was caShed by Jay
W. Anderson; another OF $50 by Davis
q Langdon; third, OF s25, was met by
Max Wirth, the druggist, and fourth,
for sos, by the Eagle Clothing house.
Quite number of other business
houses were approached with checks
varying in size from SIS to $50, but the
managers were evidently acquainted
with the erratlc young man, and refused
Tuesday evening was the
last seen of him in the city, when he
was in the bar-room of the st. Louis in
viting everybody to drink, and showing
a roll OF money aggregating several
hundred dollars. At 10 O'Clock he
boarded the st. Paul train, reaching
that city in time to catch the Manitoba
Wednesday morning for Winnipeg;
Yesterday the story partially leaked
out, but in Difference to his wife ana
father, the former an estimable lady
and the latter an eX-alderman and pres
ident of the board of public works, 1t
was kept as quiet as possible in the
hope that he would return and make
matters good by giving back the jeWefry
and paying the dishonored checks. AT
Barnesville he telegraphed he would
return this morning and make every
thing right. and again at MOOrbead he
the message. Police were
on the lookout for him, how
ever, and he was arrested at
Grand Forks by Chief Hennessy,. of
that city, who wired Chief Doran that
he had secured the man and recovered
the diamonds, and that no exsradition
papers would be needed. This is not
Miles first exploit, he having played
similar engagement in st.
Paul about a year ago. Prosecuting At
tOrney Sherwood says the matter can
not be settled now, even by return OF
the jewelry, and there is every lndlca-
tion that he will be prosecuted to the
fullest extent. The greatest sympathy
is expressed for the family, and Mile
when not on one of his sprees,
is we'll thought of as an able newspaper
man and generally good fellow.
