FARGO, Oak, Sept. l0,-Oswcll Riddell
Miles, alias Leonard Morris, Earl of Dur.
ham, alias Earl of Chester, was arrested
in Fargo Sunday by Inspector Mitchell, of
London, for a forgery of $500 on Woodall
& Co., brokers in London. The act was
committed about the middle of July and In
spector Mitchell left London a month be-
hind the fOrger who was a clerk in a bank
ing house. He first got track of him in
New York City, next in Chicago, where ii
is said he committed another forgery, then
in Minneapolis, whence he came to Fargo.
Inspector Mitchell was accompanied by
]. W. Woodall, son OF the head of the firm
on whom the forgery was committed, who
identified Miles. The lnspectar claims other

in this country or in England, as they had
already traced enough to show where he
had disposed of over $1,000 before starting
for America and that he spent not less than
that amount in this country.

drift runs along side of what is known
as the "Old Loveland Mino." Ycstcr-

last evening it was visited by the man

connection it might have with a rush of
water noticed in the White Ash Mine.

All that could be done last night was to
make arrangements to start the pumps

Occasionally one of them ventures
nearer the mine and peers down into the

A FRENCHMAN'S JOKE.


Played at the Expense of Wife Who
Didn't Use Soap and water.
Nine la Marguise dc Gallifet,
Princesse de Martigue, was, four-and-
twenty years ago, one Of the most
lovely women in Paris. She is half
English, for her father, Lallttc, the
banker, married an English lady. Nine.
de Gallifet is as fair as her sister (who
first married Erlanger. the banker, and
secondly Cordier) is dark, but apart
from the beauty Of her face (and years
have treated her very kindly she pos
sesses a remarkable fascination, which
proceeds from her constant good
nature and sweet amiability OF
character. Her few faults (for all Of
which she has been most bitterly
punishcd) have always proceeded from
her tenderness Of heart. The beauti-
full and blonde Marquise could not find
it in her heart to say "no" to any
body who did not seek too au,lacious a
favor. the result. OF course, inevitably
being that her generosity was abused
and taken an unfair advantage of. Her
nickname, "Cochonette,' originated
in a very malicious and untrue rumOr
that De Grammont- Caderousse spread,
to the effect that this dainty lady did
not pay 50 much attention to soap and
water as she might have done.
Her husband, the celebrated Marquis
dc Gallifet, having reason to suspect
that his wife did not care over much
for soap and water, played of on her
the following practical joke. One
night, or rather morning, after return
ing from a ball at the Tuierics, he
strolled INTO his wifc's drc5sing-room,
and lighting a cigarette, sat down TO
discuss the events Of the evening be-

murder is the most horrible of the
