Dell Wild, the man whose alleged il
treatment by Lieut.. Steele, of the
United States army. caused a world
wide sensation, a court martial, and
the deuce and all of row in army cir
cles, is gravitating again towards Fort
Smelling. Wild came to st. Paul yes
terday, having, as he says, wintered in
Montana. He never was very soldier
Unlocking individual, and just now he
appears as though he had never under
gone drill in his life. A GLOBE rep
resentative ran against the eX-private
on East Seventh street. When asked
what he had been doing since the dime
museums got through with him, he re-
Piled that he had spent the winter on
cattle ranch near Missoula, Mont. He
had come to ST. Paul now in the hope of
getting some employment of some sort.
Wild looks as though fortune had not
been particularly kind to him. He
claims to be entirely without money,
but says he would rather be broke all
the year round than in the army.
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Haynes, of Eau
Claire, who were at the Merchants
hotel yesterday, have with them their
fourteen-year-old son, Thomas, whose
es@apades recently would almost fur
nish material for a dime novel. The
boy has run away from home on three
different occasions during the past two
years. He has been recaptured and
brought home on each occasion. Two
months ago the lad conciu ded that Eau
Claire was too dull for him, and so
came to St. Paul. Here he remained
for day or two and then slowed him
self away on a Northern Pacific train
for the coast. He told the conductor a
pitiful story about his folks living in
Tacoma, and managed 10 get there on
his nerve. On his arrival he obtained Il
job as bell boy at one of the hotels,
and stayed there until life as q
bell boy palled on him, and then
wrote home. A few days later he was
arrested on instructions from Eau Claire
and sent to St. Paul in charge Of the
train conductor. The boys previous
vagaries led him to Chicago on both
occasions, from which city he was twice
sent back by the police. Nj. Haynes is
a Well-known and wealthy citizen of
Eau Claire, and the wandering pro-
pensity of his son is due, he says, to the
inherent instinct of the American for
travel.
H. B. Forbes, of the Omaha fire com
mission, was in St. Paul yesterday i'll
speeding the fire alarm system and the

A. II. Simon, joint owner with Scott
Marble of the new drama The Patrol, .
left yesterday for Chicago, where ar
engagements are to be completed for the
initial production OF the piece at Rock
ford, H., next week. Mr.. Simon stated
that, in his opinion, there could be but
one result following the presentation of
the new play to the public. There was
success in every line of the dialogue and
thrill in every incident. 1t is under
stood that the scenery and mechanical
effects are remarkable for their novelty.
Another young couple kicked over the
traces of parental objection yesterday
and went to Hudson on business of i'm
portance. The young man is employed

The gentleman's name is Andrew
Leisch and the pretty StenOgrapher is

parents of both parties. and, despairing
OF an amicable arrangement. the pair
started for Hudson Sunday and were
married by Rev. Smith. They spent
yesterday at the Clifton hotel.
