A TEMPORARY CLOUD.
L. T.. Bryant Arrested on q Charge
Which Will Probably be Ex-
planned AWAY.

planned Away.
Forrest E. Bryant, hitherto a young
man of unblemIshed reputation, is be-
hind the bars at the county jail this
morning. He was arrested yesterday
on charge of embezzlement, made by
Henry j. Peters, of the st. Anthony
Park North Improvement company.
Bryant was formerly the trusted secre-
tary of the improvement company, and
1t is now charged that he converted
$1,000 of its means to his own use. lie
was arrested at his residence, 542 Lin
coin avenue, and arraigned in the NUM-
cipal court in the afternoon. He waived
preliminary hearing and the court held
him to the grand jury, with bail fixed at
$1,000. The prisoner made no attempt
to secure bail, saying that he preferred
to lay in Jail rather than solicit bonds
men.
Mr.. Bryant was elected secretary of
the ST. Anthony Park North Improve
ment company about five years ago, and
held the Office until last December,
when he sold his stock and resigned.
While in Office he had full power to
convey the funds and property of the
company, his transactions. never being
questioned by the directors. But after
his resignation all examination of his
books revealed a shortage OF $4,000. The
directors of the company made an at
tempt to quietly settle this difference
with Mr.. Bryant, but he refused to
come to their terms. AS last resort
the directors caused the young mans
arrest. Mr.. Bryant denies that he has
committed a crime. That there is an
apparent shortage of $1,000 in his ac-
counts, however, he admits. He was
10th to talk about the matter yesterday,
but friend, who is in a position to
know whereof he speaks, explained the
affair aS.followS:
The arrest of Mr.. Bryant was made
fot the purpose of enforcing settle
ment between him and the company.
About two years ago he bought $1,000
worth OF property from the company,
paying $1,000 in cash and giving them a
mortgage to secure the balance. This
mortgage covering the property upon
which Mr.. Bryant paid $1,000 is being
pushed to foreclosure by the company.
in payment of the cash difference said
to be existing between him and the COM
pany he wants to compel them to take
an equity in the mortgaged property.
In consequence of their refusal to do
this Mr.. Bryant stands the indignity of
arrest. | am of the opinion that the af-
fair will be settled outside of court in a
few days"

The Remains of Mrs. Rachel
johnson Laid to Rest.
The last tribute of respect was paid
yesterday afternoon to the remains of
Mrs. Rachel E. johnson, wife of Gen,
X. w. johnson, whose death on Tues
day cast deep gloom over a large cir
che of friends and acquaintance. Only
a week ago she was enjoying fair health
and was the life of the prominent and
happy family, when pneumonia attacked
her, and she succumbed to the dread
disease, Mrs. johnson was one of the
ideal matrons and lady not only wide
~ known, but generally beloved for
her amiable and womanly character.
1t has well been said that cher
long residence in st. Paul had endeared
Mrs. johnson to large circle of friends
whose sense of loss. in her demise, can
scarcely be expressed in words. A
lovely mind noble heart and blame
less life were hers; and her memory
must ever be reyered by all who came
within the gentle radiance of her eyes.
She was a daughter of Gen. James
Steele, of the war of 1912, and was sixty
two years of age. Mrs. johnson was
sister of Mrs. Gen, Sibley, and was mar
ried to Gen. johnson at Gen. Sibley's
home in Mendoza in 1860. Their union
resulted in three sons, DR.. r. W. john
son Jr., Henry s. Johnson and Lieut..
johnson, of the regular army. The last
named son, who is stationed at Fort
Logan, Cal, fortunately arrived IN st.
Paul on Monday.
The funeral occurred from the family
residence, $50 Cedar, yesterday after
noon, the remains being taken to the
House of Hope church. where services
were conducted by Rev. D. d. Neill,
who also officiated at the marriage of
Gen. Johnson and the deceased over
forty years ago, and who paid beauti-
full tribute to the character of Mrs.
Johnson. The remains were taken to
Oakland cemetery for interment.
The pail bearers were Gen. Ruger,
Col. Mason. eX-Gov. Ramsey, II. Knox

which is apt to prove fatal. He was
working about the. engine. and his
clothes caught in the-fly wheel and
dragged him between the shafting and
the machine. The engineers prompt
action in shutting off the steam saved
Langhlan from instantaneous death.
AS it was, he was SO horribly mangled
that it is scarcely probable he will live.
He was crushed about the head and
shoulders, and his right arm was so Sc
verely injured that amputation was nec-
essary. At a late hour last night the
physicians of the city hospital, where
the injured man is being cared for,
stated that his condition was extremely
critical. Laughlan is. forty-five years

A True Dog STOW,

Last year clergyman of Norfolk.
England, missed his pet dog, and there
was much grief in the family. for Rough,
the lost collie, was favorite with the
children. Some nine months later the
clergyman happening to go to Cattle Hill,
where the drovers were, saw Rough, and
joyously laid claim to him but Rough's
new master, drover, refused to give the
dog up, and there was dispute. OF
course the droveIs were in sympathy with
their fellow, and the clergyman found the
odds against him. The drover said that
he owned Rough for years the minister
held to it that Rough was the very Rough
he had raised Two policemen came run
ming up and the case was stated. But
how can you prove ownershipW asked
one of the officers. That put the minister
in mind of something. He thrust his
hand into pocket, pulled out a penny,
and gave it to the dog, with the command,
Trough, fetch loaf Rough. with the
penny in his mouth, went to the nearest
bakery, made it clear that he wanted some
bread, and soon Came trotting back to the
crowd. The clergyman broke off morsel
gave it to Rough, and stood by while the
dog munched it. Suddenly the clergyman
exclaimed, Rough, believe that bread
is poisoned |" Out the dog spat the piece
of bread, and the crowd cried 'Brsvo!'
There was no longer doubt as to the true
ownership, and to the shame Of the drover
the dog trotted off at the ministers heels.

A Kentucky Editor on Gambling.

Henry WattersoD, the editor of the
Louisville Courier Journal, contributed a
short article ON the vice of gambling to a
recent issue of his paper "The reputation
for gambling long survives the abandon
ment OF the habit of gambling" says MIR.
Watterson. sit is not generally known,
though 1T is lact, that the most famous
OF professional gamblers of history,
Charles James Fox, did not play for money
after his forty" third year, devoting the
most of his life to the most useful, emf
nent and brilliant public service, but never
eradicating his early reputation. Indeed,
IL can be set down as a rule, that nothing
does its work so quickly and SO surely as
high play. He VINO persists in it, no mat
ter how deep his pocket, will soon find the
bottom of it; for the essential principle of
gambling is that it shall reach at last the
measure of the players capacity to lose.
In most cases it exceeds this. and in all.
where it is continued, it outlasts the CO.
pacity to pay, involving debt and ruin
The money lost and won at cards is dis
sipated in one way and another They
who win don't keep it, and, of. course
they who lose it can't God never in

playing often is, and would always be.
