A HOME THRUST FOR BABB.

The L'Echo De L'Ouest, edited by H..
Demeule, member of the park com
mission and well known Republican,
contained the following hot roast on the
city administration, which is more
pointed than polite, and is evidently
indicative of a lively dissatisfaction
with Mayor Babb on the part of con-
siderable class OF Republicans. The
Echo of the West says:
The mayor OF the city of Minneapolis en-
forces strictly the law relative to closing the
saloons Sunday. This is his right. But Will
Mayor Babb say why he tolerates the sale OF
liquors in houses or prostitution, without
license and on Sunday? Saloonkeepers pay
81 900 q year for the right to sell liquors,
they have then a right to a certain protection
on the part of the city, and II we oDllge mem
to observe the law strictly. this law ought 10
be observed by all without exception.
And meanwhile Babb voted against a mo-
ton made by Mr. Gjertsen, one OF the mem
bers of the police commission, demanding
that n surveillance be exercised over the
houses on First street, so as to take the
madams fiagrante delicto and to prosecute
them for selling liquor without license. y.
Babb for once i'll your life be consistent Win

1t is not to be disguised that, putting aside
all spirit of party, we have in Minneapolis
the most miserable administration we have
ever had And the Grand Army of the Re
public can congratulate itself on having
played pretty trick on us in bestoW1ng or

CAUSE OF THE ARREST.
Anderson Talks About What the
Creditors II ave Done.

W. B. Anderson. who practically rep
resents MI. Blaisdell in the affair, was
willing to give information regarding
the arrest. With Attorney Davis he
denounced all the denialS of the confess
sion, and all claims set up by
the creditors that the signatures are
genuine as the veriest boSh. He
says the confession WAS full, free and
fair and was not made under threats or
compulsion. 1t was made in the pres
ence of five reliable witnesses, and tells
the whole story of the crime. Ander-
son asserts that his father-in-law can
make affidavit to the effect that he never
Endorsed more than three OF four notes
for Colon, and that the total amount OF
COlloms paper bearing his signature
was not more than $4,000 or $4,000.
He says that the action of the men who
hold the paper in denying the genuine
ness of the confession and in inducing
COLON to deny it, so that an endeavOr
to hold j. L. Blaisdell for the full
amount of the notes, with prospective
attempt to tie up in litigation
the property turned over to An
derson by the accused, was what
forced MI. BlaiSdell to cause
Collom's arrest and arraignment on the
charge of forgery. He says he had
promised the holders of the worthless
notes that he would turn over for the
satisfaction of their claims all the prop
erty conveyed to him by Colon, as soon
as MI. Blaisdell'S interest, amounting
to $4,000 or $4,000, had been satisfied.
eve considered this proposition emf
nently Just and fair" said
Mr.. Anderson, ''but they were
determined to have war, and now they
can have it, Mr.. Davis said little, but
was evidently of the same opinion as
Mr.. Anderson, and is very much in
censed at the course taken by the cred
itors, and the statements some of them
have made to the newspapers. He says
the reports circulated as to Mr. Blais-
dell's mental condition and business
methods, or rather lack of business
methods, are entirely false.

IN The LAWS Tolls.
John Franklin COLON Spent
Last Night in the County
Jail.
He Was Arraigned on Account
Of Three Spurious Notes,
and Bail Refused.
More Complaints Will Follow,
and Final Bail Will Be
Large.
His Wife Thinks Him Away
on misunderstanding Of
Creditors.

John Franklin COLON, the central
figure in the great forgery sens alton,
spent last night behind stone walls and
iron bars in the Hennepin county Jail.
He was arrested at 4:S0 yesterday after
noon by Detective Howard and Capt.
Helm, armed with warrant sworn out
by F. f. Davis, attorney for j. T.
Blaisdell, charging him with forging
the latte1'S name to note for $500,
given to the Security bank on July ~,
of the present year. Colon was in the
rear room of Eustis Bros. office, 500
Temple Court, when the arrest was
made, and was taken directly to the
municipal court and brought before
Judge Emery, who read the complaint
and asked COLON if he desired an
examination. E. Nj. Wilson, ColIom's
attorney, who was with him at the time
of the arrest, replied that the defense
did wish an examination. AT that point
Attorney Davis and Frank Nj. Nye, as
sistant county attorney, entered, and
after consultation, Tuesday morning,
at 10o'clock. was decided upon as the
most convenient time for hearing.
Mr.. Wilson asked to have bail fixed.
Mr.. Nye asked his honor to
make the bail heavy, as there
were other complaints to come.
Judge Emery said he could take no
official cOgnizance of anything not
brought before the court. and then fixed
bail at $4,000. A wait of a few min
utes was followed by the arraignment
of the prisoner on second complaint,
sworn out by W. Is. Anderson, Blais-
dell's son-in-law, charging him with
forging Mr.. Blaisdell's Endorsement to
a $1,000 note on July 6. Mr..
Wilson signified his desire to have
the second case take the same
course as the first, and it was so Or
dered, bail being fixed at the same
amount. The process was repeated in
the case of the third complaint sworn
out by Anderson, and alleging that Col
lon forged $1,000 note on the 10Th of
cases was $4,000, and Mr.. Wilson
said no effort would be made to
raise that amount last night, so
after 10 O'Clock this morning had
been. fixed as the the time for further
arrangements on other complaints. De-
tective Howard took charge of the
prisoner, and the two went to the county
Jail. COLON was decidedly cool during
the entire proceedings, and stranger
would hardly have selected him as the
accused from among the people present.
as there were several who displayed
more nervousness and anxiety in face
and action. He talked quietly with
his attorney, and smiled as he
recognized his law partner, G. j.
lockwood, who entered while the
court was waiting for the second COM
plant.

The Smidocks were having good deal
of joy night before last and kept the
youngest member of the Wasock family
awake. Mrs. Wasock demonstrated
with the jewellers on the lower
floor, but they would not listen
and even cast her out of the house.
Then Wasock pere went down and
knocked out the Smidocks in one round,

Officer Sieverting appeared at this
stage of the game and attempted to ar
rest the Bohemian slugger. He was
not awed by the majesty OF the law to
any considerable degree, and gave the
two ''cops' a very warm RECEIPT !. so
much SO, in fact, that they had to use
billies in reducing him to proper state
of subjugation, and the services of the
police surgeon in getting his head into
presentable condition for the court this
morning. Judge Emery after hearing
the story concluded that sixty days in
the workhouse would be good thing
for Jacob, and the latter having bad
enough fighting, went quietly along
