Arrested for Burglary.

A tramp named Mike Conley, was
arrested in this city Wednesday
charged with committing the burg
larry in H. F. Schlensener's hardware
store last week. Conley was trying
to sell knives and raxors OF the same
make as were stolen from Mr.. s., and
the police pulled him In. He had
preliminary examination before JUS
tice Simmons yesterday, and was
held for further developments. Dur
ing the examination Conley made a
rather strange statement, claiming
that he did not get the property: from
any store in this city, but that he
stole the property from a store in
Northern Pacific Junction a. few
weeks ago. The authorities at that
place have been notified, and if a case
can be secured against the prisoner at
that place, he will probably be sur
rendered to them. The testimony so
far secured against him at this place
is not strong, although it is very
probable that he stole the goods from
While the goods are of
the same make as Mr.. S. lot, it would
be difficult to swear that they are
the identical goods.

FIREMEN'S ANNUAL ELECTION,
Charles N. LafOnd Selected as Chief
Fire Warden Of the City on
Saturday Evening.

Fire warden OF the city On
Saturday Evening.
A union meeting Of all the members
of the Little Falls fire department
was held on Saturday evening last,
for the purpose of choosing a chief
for the ensuing year. DR.. Fortier
was elected chairman of the meeting
and F. W. Lyon secretary. Fifty-two
votes were cast, of which John DOran
received q and Charles N. Lafond 20.
Mr.. Lafond will make an excellent
chief, and certainly maintain the de-
partment in the excellent condition
it now is. John Doran, who has
been chief for the past year has been
an excellent officer, and his work in
behalf Of the department has won for
him the lasting gratitude of the fire.
men. A year ago there was only
two companies-chemical and hook
and ladder-and the facilities for
fighting fire were very limited. Dur
ing Mr.. Doran's administration two
hose companies were added, and
they were supplied with first class
apparatus; fire station that is
fully up to the needs of the city was
built, fire alarm system established,
and other important improvements
made. OF course his position as
member OF the city council for the
past two years gave him .oppor-
tunities to exercise great influence In
behalf of better facilities for fighting
fire, and he energetically improved
them; he being one of the strongest
advocates of the system of water
works, which made an efficient de-
partment possible.
The new chief enters upon his
duties with the hest wishes of the
entire department., and will have the
hearty cooperation and support of
the officers and men of all the COM
panies. An efficient fire department
is valuable to all interests of the city,
and it is matter of congratulation
that the one in Little Falls will con-
tinue to have an excellent officer in
charge. Mr.. Lafond has not yet an
nOunced his assistants.
