SNATCHiNG PURSES.
Youthful Highwaymen Caught at
Their Tricks.


Johnnie Padden, John Zwickel and
John Adams, aged respectively sixteen,
thirteen and twelve years, were az
raigned before the police magistrate
yesterday on charge of larceny, and
held to the grand jury under $500 bail.
The accused are members of the gang
of boys who have been snatching
pocket books from, ladies, their opera
tons being confined principally to
Seventh street between Wabasha and
Jackson. They appeared upon the street
as innocent, laughing boys, chasing
each other up and down the pavement
playing tag, and lodging in and out
among the crowd of pedestrians. A
lady with CONSPICUOUS purse would be
marked as victim, when the boys
would begin playing around her, con-
tinuing the game until one of them
iostled against her. apparently by acct
dent. The little fellow would offer a
polite ''eXcuse me lady," as the woman
passed on amused, perhaps, at the care
less pranks of the boys. Usually, how
ever, she mourned the loss of purse
after such an occurrence. The lads are
considered very ''smooth" young GRIM
inals. Annie Ryan, Kate Mcmahon and
Mollie Zschan, who were victimized to
the amount of $40 by the boys, appeared
yesterday to testify against them.

An Obtuse Witness in Suit for
( SANDER,

The case of Magnus Paulson against
Nils Person was before Judge Wilkin
yesterday. Plaintiff sued to recover
$1,000 for alleged defamatory statements
made about him, in which defendant
charged him with stealing S45 from a
Norwegian, who claimed that he
lest that amount in PaulSOn's saloon.
During the trial every one in the court
room was frequently provoked to
laughter, the principals making hard
work. of mastering the English Ian
ghage, and suffering eXcruciating pain
and anxiety while on the witness stand.
After the plaintiff had entertained the
jury and audience, the defendant took
the stand, and continued the vein Of in
eongruity which the plaintiff had left in
his perplexed maneuver to get out of
the witness chair and around to his seat.
Counsel for the plaintiff, upon cross
examining the witness, asked him if at
the time of the alleged SANDER he did
not take undue interest in the matter,
ana if he was not greatly agitated about
it, to which the witness failed to re-

DRAINAGE NECESSARY.
Red River Valley Counties Want
Water Courses Cleared.

The Red river valley drainage COM
mittee met at the Merchants hotel yes
terday. Ezra G. Valentine, of Brecken-
ridge, chairman of the committee. pre-
sided. and, in the absence of Secretary
E. D. Childs, David McCauley, of Will
kin county, was chosen secretary pro
TEN. This is permanent committee of
fifteen, selected by the CrOokston con-
vention, representing Marshall, Polk,
Norman. Clay and Wilkin counties,
Minnesota. The committee is consti-
tuted as follows: Ezra G. Valentine,
WiIkin. chairman; E. d. Childs, Polk,
secretary: Hon. Hans Mattson. secre
tary of state; Hon. B. Sampson, state
treasurer; M. r. Brown, j. N. Camp

W. Culbeftson, S. A. March, John
Erickson, w. J..Bodkin, Lyman Lor-
ing, David McCauley and ii. S. Hogo-
boom.
Reports from each of the five coun-
ties represented were read and con-
sldered. The counties have organized
under the new drainage law, and the
reports were all very encouraging,
showing universal sentiment in favor
of the proper drainage of the Red river
valley. In localities where wheat was
frost-bitten there were fine crops last
season, where lands were properly
drained. The state has large amount
of school and other lands in the valley.
which would be greatly enhanced in
value by drainage. Many other potent
reasons were given why movement
should be made to drain the lands of
this vertile valley. After general dis
cussion it was voted to ask an approprl-
alton of S150,000 for opening the
water-courses leading into the Red
river and its tributaries, and
for improving existing streams in the
Red river valley, in this state for drain
age purposes.
A subcommittee of three, comprising
Ezra G. Valentine, chairman; Senator
p. Sampson and Secretary OF State
Hans Mattson, was appointed to draft a
bill for presentation to the legislature.
w. II. Matthews, of Norman county,
was elected member of the committee
in place of Springer Harbaugh, de-
ceased. 1t was decided that Klttson
county could come in with the other
five counties of the valley, provided
said county, at its own expense, caused
a preliminary survey to be made. AT
the close of the meeting at the Mer-
chants, the committee adjourned to
the state house where joint meeting
was held with the house committee on
drainage. A full discussion Of the SUBJ
ject of drainage was had. and the conf
mittee closed the days proceedings by
calling upon Gov. Merriam.
