BEHIND THE BARS.
George F. Moss Charged With a
Serious Offense.

H
Serious Offense.
George F. Moss, of the firm of Moss &
Kennedy, proprietors of the Electric
Carpet Cleaning works at 1876 East Third
street, was arrested yesterday afternoon
by Deputy Sheriff Sullivan on a
warrant, and taken to Saltwater.
About 10 o'clock yesterday morn
ing County Attorney Jameson, of
Washington county, with the dep
uty sheriff, went to the suburb of
Newport, and there procured the war
rant. 1t was sworn out before Justice
Irevette by Margaret Johnson.a servant
in the employ of Attorney Henry G.
James, of Newport, who has an office at
sc East Third street in this city. The
arrest is the sequel to the following
story, which, owing to the standing of
the accused, has caused a sensation
among his friends:
Last Wednesday evening the john
son girl obtained permission to come to
st. Paul to do shopping, and, with sew
eral bundles in her arms, boarded the
late Burlington short line to return
to Newport. 1t was quite dark
when the train stopped at the little
suburb and the girl started to walk to
LliO IlOiIt lllC wv pOts
She carried lantern, and was hurrylng
along. when man, walking faster,
overlook her. She flashed the lantern
in his face to see if she would recognize
him as another resident getting home
late. He was a stranger, and the
next moment he had his arms abOuther.
The girl, who is large and strong,
threw her bundles to the ground and
made a desperate fight. She freed her.
self from his grasp and ran, screaming
at the top of her voice. The man fol-
lowed short distance, and was gain
ing Oh her when she reached one of the
scattered houses, and he knew it was
dangerous to go further.
The assault created considerable eX-
element i'll Newport, and Mr.. James
and other citizens began an investiga-
ton. The girl was able to describe the
midnight waylayer, and it was learned
from the conductor that such a
man had alighted at Newport. But
this was not all. The conductor
knew the man to be George f.
Moss, who lives with his family at ST.
Paul Park, the next suburb from New
port. This gentleman was in the habit
never before had he, mistaken his sta
ton. Nothing was SAID, but the girl
was taken without knowing anything
in regard to the above and placed on a
train which Moss had boarded for his
home, and told TO walk through the
coaches and see if her assailant was
among the passengers. She identified
Moss without hesitation. Newport is
i'll Washington county and consequently
Moss was taken to Saltwater, where the
jail is located. - ..,,.ss

A Years Work in the City At
torney's Office.


Corporation Attorney Lawler yester-
day submitted his annual report to
Mayor Smith. 1t is complete eXposi-
ton of the labor performed in his Office

is largely increased over former years.
There have been thirty-one damage suits
brought against the city for claims
amounting to $110.37650 in the aggre-
gate, of which only 81. HISS has been
recovered, although there are twelve
cases yet to be tried. The list of cases
tried and disposed of in the municipal
court numbers 1902, with fines collected
from the same amounting to 2,022. 80.
Mr.. Lawler states that it gives him
great pleasure to say that the work of
his assistants has been in remarkable
degree efficient and praiseworthy, point
ing to his assistants, ii. w. Phillips and
j. G. Michel, and calls special attention
to their efficient conduct of the two
cases of Bell and Cremer separately
against the city, both cases being
real estate actions involving many
weeks of arduous examination
into questions of fact and law on the
part of the gentlemen conducting them,
in the former OF which an unfavorable
verdict was presented and in the latter
a verdict for the city secured. Clerk T..
j. Mullane, Stenographer John w.
Clancy. Third Assistant John E. Hearn

DULUTH, Mimi, Feb. 90. Mathew
Bland Harrison, worlds fair commits
sioner from this state and one of the
most prominent men in Duluth, died
tonight at o'clock. Mr.. Harrison has
been sick about two months with the
grip. and was getting better,
when suddenly yesterday he was
seized with an accute attack
of BrighI's disease and commenced
to sink rapidly. All the medical assist
ance possible could not save him. Mr..
Harrison was thirty-five years old, hav-
ing been born in Petersburg, Va, in
1857. He comes from one Of the oldest
families of Virginia-the well-known
HarrisonS. He was also relative of
President Harrison. His early life was
spent in study, and he was fitted for the
legal profession. but his natural
business talents, which were of
very high order. soon led him
into real estate speculations out of
which, in a legitimate way. he had
amassed fortune. Mr.. Harrison came
west in 1885, stopping at st. Paul a
short time, afterwards coming to Du-
luth. His popularity among his bust
ness associates was great, and his hard
work for the city of Duluth has
endeared him to all DuluthianS. His
interests are valued at about Sl,250.000.
He OWLS half interest in each Of the
following real estate in Duluth: Har-
rison's division. Harrison's Brookdale
division and Marine division. He also
owned $500 shares of the Well-known
Mountain Iron company's stock on the
Mesaba range, valued at $4,000 The
news of his death cast gloom over the
crowd of stock brokers that were gath
cred in the Spalding, and for while
business was practically suspended.
The deceased leaves a wife and three
year old daughter. His wife traces her
lineage back to the famous Patrick
Henry, whose great granddaughter

Where mortgaged personal property re-

of such creditor may dispute the validity of
the mortgage without proof of actual fraud.
If mortgage is withheld from record pur-

deemed fraud as to any one who should be-
come creditor of the mortgage, relying
upon the false appearance of responsibility
thus created. and as TO such creditor the
mortgage would be estopped.

reason of a franchise granted twenty.
eight years ago: that till recently it per-
formed it's duty as common carrier;
did so until Mr.. FrenZel was elected pres

such business and that he is wholly
unfit for his position and was appointed

renewal of the franchise. 1t then re-
cites the causes of the strike and the
decision of the directors to stand by
FrenZel in the strike and SAYS
that continuance of the strike will
result in bloodshed and destruction of
