A Blind Pig Detective nj Hismnrck SKips to
Get Out of Giving Evidence.
BISMARCK, N. d., Dec. 2.-Last fall
an information was filed against q sa.
loon man named Swenson. The in
former was Janitor Mason, of the Bap.
tist Church. who was Induced to go in
to the "blipg pig and get a bottle OF
liquor by the pastor, and other members
of the Law and Order League. Dis
trict court convened last week but
Mason was absent when wanted. The
sheriff found him twenty miles away
trying to escape across the country and
be was arrested for contempt There
had been rumors for some time that he
had been advised to leave by the treas
urer of the Law and Order League.
Today Mason in open court made
startling confession. He said Anderson
Healy a deacon of Lis church,
and who was recently elected county
commissioner. had induced him to 20
away, so as not to appear against Sven.
son. The deal was made before cleo
tion, and Swenson was to vote for and
support Healy in the election. On ac-
count of the prominence of the people
implicated. the matter has created
great sensation here. 1t is also said
that Swenson will also MAKE o u full con-
fession. Healy will probably be ar
rested, and the district register will
make thorough investigation. Healy
is the man who was suspended from the
office of county commissioner on tue
charge of malfeasance. He was on trial
lust term aud the jury disagreed, and
the case stands for trial again at this
term. At the last election he ran for
commissioner again, his term expiring
in January. He made sympathy cam
paign and by unprecedented cunning
and combination of circumstances was
elected by nine votes. 1t is not known
what will be the effect of today devel-
opments, or what Healys defense

cendiary origin. A meeting OF the
agents was held, at which j. Quincy
Hoar, of the German Insurance Co.,
was appointed to take charge OF the
matter and detect the rascalslf possible.

hnally y secured the arrests. Detective

five fires on the West Side, arranged

cendiarism. An uncle of Morris Michael
was also arrested. his house having been
burned and the insurance money di-
vided recently. Three other members
of the gang will bs arrested later. Nor
