The Young Banker Makes a

Capture Of a Clever House
Worker After a Hot
Chase.

At $50 last evening one of the bold
est ana most desperate highway rob-
berries was committed Oh Robert street,
near Fourteenth, that has been recorded
for long time. William Dawson Jr.
was the victim, and he was at tackled by
three men.
Mr.. Dawson was Oh his way home
from the bank. At point near Four
teenth street he met three men. Natu-
rally, at that time of day he took no
notice Of the parties, not suSpecting
anything wrongof them. They divided
SO as to let him pass between them.
But of this action he took no note. AS
he was in the act Of walking between
he was aroused from his reveries by a
revolver, which was showed under his
nose by one Of the men. He was COM
manded to throw up his hands,
and after taking a haSty glance
at the outfit he concluded the
best thing to do was to obey.
and so up went his hands as high as
he could reach. They took his gold
watch and chain and some other valu-
ables, and after feeling of his pockets
to see that he had no weapon. they
commanded him to take off his fine
oYercoaU. lie removed it, one of them
took possession of it; and the three
started down the street Oh a run. Mr..
DawsOn'S blood was well up now, and
instantly he wheeled and took after
them with his cane. calling police" as
he went. He overlook the rearmost
mar and cCllared him. The man re-
sisted, but Mr.. Dawson was too mad to
let him go: in fact, lie was mad enough
to Kill tiger, ana the way he dOWned
that fellow was frightful to behold.
Whiie he was engaged with this one the
other two escaped. In the race the fell
lows dropped his OvercOat, so that MI.
Dawson recovered that; but the watch
was in the possession of one Of the men
who got away.
Mr. Dawon led his prisoner down
Robert street until he came across Oft-
Ger Coveney, and then he accompanied
the. officer and prisoner to the central
police station.
At the station the prisoner was recog-
niZed as being Dan Danforth. one Of
the most noted crooks Of st. Paul. Dan
forth has for years prowled around the
city, committing burglarieS. all kinds OF
thieving, and holding up people at
every opportunity. He is a most dan
gerouS crook, and should be sent to
Saltwater for the longest term
fixed by the law. He has been
sent to the workhouse several times
for ninety-day terms when he should
have gone to the penitentiary; and he
has several times escaped punishment
wneD he should have been indicted and
sent to the penitentiary. The other two
fellows are not yet caught, but it is
greatly TO be hoped that they may be
taken in very soon and placed where
their career of crime will be at an end
for several years. Danforth is twenty
three years old, and has never done an
honest days labor.

HOUSE WORKER CAUGHT.
A Supposedly Slick Crook Under
Lock and Key.

A Supposedly Slick Crook Under
Lock and Hey.
A daytime houseWorker created a
good sized excitement shortly before
noon Yesterday along Olive street be-
tween Seventh and Ninth streets. Mrs.
James Fallow, who lives at ~ East
Seventh street, returned home from
down town at II 80 and found bur
glar i'll the house. She was so close TO
the fellow that she Sprang at him as if
TO seize him. He seized her and for a
few moments there was pretty lively
SkirmiSh. But her screams attracted
the attention Of paSSer5 upon the street
and very quickly people were rallying
to her assistance. The burglar ran out
Of the house and started toward Ninth
street. Officer Coyeney happened
along just IN the nick of time and took
after the escaping criminal like a race
horse. The thief was soon so hard
pressed that he logged into the cellar
of Frank Keogh'S house, corner of
Ninth and Olive streets. HE officer
followed him and soon had him in
limbo. The fellow had stolen the gold
watch of Mrs. Fallow. but in the race
dropped 1t some place.
AT the central police station he gave
the name of Harold Jackson, and his
age as thirty-Seven. He is a well-dressed
man of slick appearance, and the indi-
cations are that he is very slick pro-
fessiOnal houSeworker and all-round
crook. Chief Detective McGinn thinks
he has been dong work in Minneapolis.
On him was found street car checks of
the Minneapolis lines; also interurban
slips. Some OF the detectives of Mime
opoliS will take look at him this morn
ing; and it is more than likely it will be
found he is one of the parties who has
been making it interesting for the Flour
City populace.
After long search for the watch of
Mrs. FalloW it was found at $50 yester-
day afternoon near Mr.. Keogh's house.

CITIES SUFFER.
Mortgage Fiends Get in Their
Work in Fen Years.

Labor Commissioner Powers has COM
pleted his statement of the mortgage fore
closures on lots and blocks in Minnesota
towns for the years 1891 and 1892. The re-
port show that in 1881 there were in the
state 3OS foreclosures, the amount of debt for
which the mortgages were given was S3l5,-
145 90. This included S74 blocks and lots,
and they were sold for S437. 634. "a.
In 1871 there were ], 631 foreclosures of this
kind. The original mortgages were for
ST, 167, 51S.26. They covered S,526 lots and
blocks and the property was sold under fore
closure tor So, 42z, 36S 90. If to this were
added the acre property i'll the three cities,
st. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth, we would
have as the total of mortgage foreclosures in
cities and towns the same-S7 062 SlS21. This
is more than six times the amount of the
foreclosures on the agricultural lands of the
state for the same year. The foreclosures on
city property are sixteen times as great in
1891 as in 1881, while the amount of fore
closures on agricultural lands has increased
but per cent The city foreclosures have
increased several times faster than the in
crease in population and valuation, while the
opposite is true of the country.

five weeks from the putting down of
the bed, the shoots will be about
three or four inches high, and may
be drawn carefully, one at time,
with the right hand, the left hand
holding the ground firmly, to prevent
the potato from being disturbed or
drawn up. There will be second
and third growth of sprouts for a
couple of months following.
CULTIVATION: Both the hill and
the ridge system have their advo.
Gates, but the preponderance of testi-
mony seems to be in favor of the
ridge. Deep cultivation is not ncces
sary and the ridges should not be
thrown up too high and should he
about three feet apart. Planted Is
inches apart, there would be 5000
plants to the acre. The sets from
the seed bed should be dipped in q
thick paste of manure and earth
mixed with water when planted, set
deeply so as not TO cover the bud,
watered, and the soil pressed firmly
around each one. They should be
watered again the next evening.
Further cultivation should be with a
hoe or rake to keep the weeds down.
When the vines are full grown and
begin TO meet, they should be broke
loose from the ground and drawn to-
gether to prevent roofing down.
In the Southern States tubers are
bedded about the first of April,
planted from the middle of May to
the first of June, and harvested about
the middle of October. The yield
varies from 75 to 800 bushels accord
ing TO soil, locality, and cultivation.
The average may be placed at $50
bushels, According to United States
laws a bushel of sweet potatoes is
80 lbs.
The growing crop does not need
