to press is snugly asleep in the Claren-
don hotel. He came in on the early
Omaha train and presented himself at
the breakfast table as though nothing
had happened. He says he will do busi-
ness at the old stand today.
An important legal paper is awaiting
Mr. Brown, and no doubt by the time
this is read will have been duly served
upon him. This paper is the man
damus of Judge Brill. which or
ders Secretary Brown to properly
place the Democratic electors Oh the
official ballot, or show cause why he
should not be punished for contempt.
The writ is returnable at 10 o'clock this
morning The Office of the secretary of
state has been running itself for some
time past, and there was no one i'll
charge on whom the writ could be
served. A Minneapolis paper of yes
terday said that Secretary Brown was
keeping out of the way of service, and
that he spent Saturday in that city, re-
turning to st. Paul too late for service
Saturday. The same paper quotes Tams
BiXby as saying that he did not know
where Brown was, and would not tell If
he did
The secretary denies this story. A
GLOBE reporter found him at the Clar-
endon, and asked him where he had
been. He said he had ''been down the
road" but whether that meant at home
| in Faribault county, or was simply to
| dodge the question, he would not vOuch-
| safe.
"There is story afloat." said the re-
tnr fI,of m a

IL am not" was the reply. Il will
be in court at the hour named"
| WHO will appear for you?'
Il will appear in person, and Attor-
ney General Clapp will be my counsel" :"
| The order of the court is i'll the hands
of w. S. Daggett, who kept the secre-
| tary under close surveillance during the
| day. He approached him i'll the after
noon, and, after informing him of his
mission, desired to know if the secre-
| tary of state would waive the legal for
mality and accept service Sunday, but
the official declined, saying he would
| appear in court at the proper time.
After what has occurred the court Off
| Ger would take no chances. and kept
! Mr.. Brown under close surveillance
during the day. Like a shadow, he was

| ways in sight-and from breakfast until

How He Spent the Day.
Upon his arrival in the city, Mr..
| Brown went at once to breakfast. and
then took up position in the lobby of
the Clarendon, where for two hours he
was wrapped up III the SUNDAY GLOBE
which evidently contained much food
| for his thought. He read how he was
missing and how his office was left help
less. Then he read the full text of the
address to the people of Minnesota, de-
ballot and the mandamus of Judge
Brill. When he had completed it
he went to the capitol. where
he had long conference with
| Attorney General Clapp, when the pre-
| gramme of action was doubtless mapped
| out. BY this time 1t was noon and the
secretary returned to the Clarendon,
where he took dinner. After this re-
| freshment, he again read the papers.
| doZed little and smoked several cigars.
| Then Pioneer Press reporter dropped
| in, and after little conversation, the
| pair went to the state house. When
thew emerged they went to the office of
| the Pioneer Press, where the secretary
unbosomed himself to that paper.
| From there he went into Repub-
! lican headquarters, where perhaps
| he received further instructions as to
| his future course. This seemed to con-
clude the business of the day, and the
! secretary gave himself up to pleasure.
He went to Foley's billiard hall for a
| few moments and finally rounded up at
| the Clarendon, where he had supper.
He concluded the day with visit to the
INV fN
| hotel at a seasonable hour and retired
for the night.
The man who was lost is found, and
the events of today will unfold them
selves at the proper time.
Where was he?
1t is some little interest to know
where Mr.. Brown has been for the pas
| few days. One of his organs says he
was IN Minneapolis on Saturday. THIS
lie denies, and insth!s he is corrobOrated
| by GLOBE reporters who would have
unearthed him had he been there.
The GLOBES correspondents in most
of the cities Of the state were wired to
look hin up and the most assduous eff
forts failed to locate him. Following is
the telegram sent out from this Office:
