A Bogus Lord Arrested.

a stirring sensation was caused by the ar
rest Of young iHdG who, for two weeks or
more has been supposed to De - Younger
brother of the duke of Durham. On his a."
rival he registered at the leading hotel as
plain Robert Morris of London but soon
gave it out that he had noble blood pulsng
in his veins. He stated that on account OF Il
difficulty he had with an older brother in
one OF the aristocratic clubs of the English
metropolis he had left the country with the
intention of making Il tour of the
world. He first appeared at MayviIIe,
where it is said he exhibited letters of intro
ductIon to the Dalrymples and Grundins
from Cornelius Vanderbilt and other prOmi-
nent Eastern gentlemen. With these ere
dentlals he had no difficulty i'll procuring an
Introduction i'll good society. He reported
that he had an income OF $50, 900 u year.
He often seen with large sums of money
and those who knew OF the reckless extrava-
gance with which he spent it had no doubt
as to the truth of the statements He sell
dom sat down to meal without
number of guests and always or
dered the cOStlest wines. This
fast living he continued until II week ago,
when he departed for the West. much to the
regret OF all who had enjoyed his prodigulity
1t was understood that he WAS going direct
TO the Pacific coast and from there to Japan;
but instead he stopped at JamestOn and re-
manned several days. One night he returned
to Fargo and next day MS he was about to
board the west bound Northern train, he
was arrested by Inspector Mitchell. of the
city OF London police force who had just
arrived from St. Paul His arrest has been
the talk of he town. but as he had gone to
jamestown, where he claimed to have left his
money, no facts in relation to the matter
could be learned until the return Inspector
Mitchell was accompanied by Il PinkertOn
detective and MIR. WOOdall of London
From the English official it was learned that
the young man is wanted for forgery
amounting to 1900. His real name is
| Oswal liiddpl Miles Until July II he had
! been employed as clerk by Woodall X Co.;
! stockholders in London. and while in their
| service forged their name to Il draft. He
| Disappeared Immediately after the forgery
was discovered. but for some reason the
| officers did not start to America until Aug
| -. From New York they traced him to
| Minneapolis and thence to Fargo
and although they have at last captured him
his victims will recover but small portion
| OF their stolen money. He had less than
| 5000 of it left. The officer stated that he is
not even remotely connected with any noble
! family, and that his father is now serving a
sentence for forgery. The bogus lord pro-
tested his innocence to the last. and assured
! his acQualntanCes that he would be back in
| few weeks. He is apparently about twenty
! three years of age, but little over four feet
| high, quite intelligent and we'll educated.

q drawer in his desk | found several
advertisements plainly in the inter
est Cf swindlers. One of them read:
"a steady young man with $40, 900 cash
capital can double it in one year in a legiti
mute enterprise. For particulars address
Box S91, " etc.
Another read:
IF you have nerve and s.. 900 in cash we
will make you a millionaire in one year. We
permit the fullest investigation before in
vestment. Write for particulars
A third just hit the case:
Are you young and ambitious man,
feeling that you could get ahead if properly
backed and encouraged? Have you any
money? Can you get from 81 900 to 81, 900!
II so will positively guarantee you 800
in return for every dollar, and inside "f p
year"
felt sure he had written some of
these parties, but as could not find
any letters from them | set out to
hunt them up IN perno2. They were
bOld-taced swindlers, and they both
cred me some, but in the end | got
five letters written by Fergus In one
of them he stated that he would
soon have money to invest, and eX-
pressed his satisfaction at the parti-
culars of the speculation as far as
given him. The greed of gain, then,
was his incentive. The woman who
had been mother and sister to him
came OF long-lived race, and was in
good health, and a month before
her death was told by a doctor in
the hearing of Fergus that she was
likely to livetO be ninety or one hun
dred years old. Until her death the
young man could hope for little
or nothing, as she was obliged to
make the interstate of her capital
support her.
Murderer or not, the boy was the
legal heir; and he employed the best
legal talent in the west to defend him.
The lawyers might take every dollar
if they could but clear him. 1t was
a veritable fight for life with all the
money and most of the talent on one
side, but that web of circumstantial
evidence kept drawing closer and
closer, and it could neither be broken
nor explained away. Had Fergus
been innocent a frank reply to each
question would have explained it.
Being guilty, his evasions only made
matters worse. The jury were out
fourteen hours before finding a YER
dict of guilty, but within an hour he
had made full confession. He told
me that he had been planning, for
two months, and that he believed
he had arranged details until his
case could withstand the most min
ute investigation of the highest de-
tective talent.-N. Y. Sun.

Secratar1 NohlA,n Ultimatum.

WASHINGTON. Special Telegram: Sec
rotary Noble has settled the matter of
the opening of the Sioux reservation by
proclamation of the president There have
been so many diverse claims about the mat
ter that the secretary's opinion is needed to
settle the dispute. To Newspaper
correspondent the secretary said: at is well
known that two bills were passed by the last
congress, both on the same day-one au-
thoriZing the secretary to negotiate with the
Indians, the other authorizing the president
to appoint a commission. The latter con-
tanned proviso that the treaty should be
ratified by congress. 1t was found necessary
to abandon the former bill, and the president
appointed o commission to make the treaty
and gave them their instructions. l am
not authorized to speak for the president,
but legally the reservation cannot be opened
until congress ratifes the treaty. It would
not be the best policy to open the reservation
in the fall In the first place, the report of
the commission has not been received. It
will probably be along in due time and will
be submitted to the president Before it can
be considered the winter will be almost upon
US, and if the lands were then thrown open
the settlers would endure many hardships
and privationR We want to proceed under
the1aw and give the people clear title to
the lands when they are once opened They
must be patient and await the action of con-
gress. This would seem to settle the matter -
HIS PROBABLE ACTION.
1t has been stated several times in these
dispatches that congressional action was
necessary. All the Indian bureau officials,
as we'll as the prominent attorneys connected
with the interior department are unanimous
in that opinion. The law under which the
commission was appointed provides for rat
itication. The president named the commits
sioners, and their report will be submitted to
him and by him to congress, as the law d.
reefs Secretary Noble, while not speaking
for the president, speaks for himself and it
is not SuppOsable that the president will net
contrary to the combined opinion of those
who have given the matter so much atuen-
ton.

A Determined Attempt at Suicide.

One Of the most determined attempts at
suicide ever heard of was made last night bv
Lena Hertzog, seventeen years DID, who re-
sides with her parents in Williamsburg near
New York. The girl is comedy brunette,
plump Of form and OF pleasant appearance.
She was passenger on the ferry boat from
Brooklyn to New York city When the boat
reached the Grand street ferry Miss Hprtzog
came ashore but Immediately returned and
paid her fare. and once more took a seat in
the cabin. The boat had not vet clearpd the
ship when one of the deck hands saw the Girl
walk rapidly out Of the cabin toward the
stern OF the boat For moment she stood
still and then suddenly swung herself clear of
the east rall and Disappeared The deck
hand gave the alarm and the boat was i'm
medlately stopped. Inside of q few seconds
lie preseryers ladders and ropes were Gale
INTO requisiton. The electric light made
Things MS clear as day The first life prpserver
thrown tell close to the girl but she pushed
IL away, with an angry gesture The noise
and shouts attracted the ticket chopper
James Kelly, who is an expert swimmer and
mas already saved thirteen people from
drowning. DE Jumped into the river, seized
the girl by the waist and lifted her bodily
up so that she might breathe The Girl
turned upon him and struggled to free
herself from his grasp. Kelly held
on however, and made for the
slip. A desperate struggle followed: the half
drowned girl seemed to gain new strength
and shetought like Il tigress When near the
slip ropes were thrown Kelly, who caught
one and wound it around the BODY OF his
charge but it was quickly thrown off This
the girl repeated three times and then seiz-
ing her rescuer by the arm savagely bit him
nelly was becoming exhausted, and saw that
II the girls life was to be saved violence
would have to be used. 50 he was compelled
| 10 beat her into submission. The blows had
the desired effect for a time but when an at
tempt was made to lift her upon the ladder
she broke out atresh, but was finally landed,
wet, Imp and exhausted. This water battle
lasted fully fifteen minutes. When stimu-
I2nts were offered tho girl, later on. she
threw the glass from her and smashed it..
Finally the reckless creature was placed un-
der arrest and afterwards sent to IL hospit al
IN an ambulance, where she was doing nicely.
Her parents say that the whole adventure
arose from love affair.
