FALSE GUARDIAN.
He SwindIes Young Lady Out of
5000

A young lady, named Jennie Thomp
son, has recounted to the superintend-
ent of police a very remarkable tale.
Some time ago she was left fortune by
relatives in Norway. but has been living
quietly with her aunt at 1928 Fourth
street south. About week ago we'll
dressed stranger presented himself at
the residence and Informed Miss
Thompson that he had just arrived
from Norway and had been appointed
her guardian. He spoke 10 her about
the old country and her relations, and
througout his conversation showed
such a knowledge of her affairs and ac-
workmanship with her friends and
family, that she never suspected that
he was other than he seemed. He gave
his name as Chris Peterson, and said he
was stopping at the West MOTEL. He left
her on the first evening without any
alluSiOn to her business affairs, aside
from remarking that he would call the
next night and go over matters with
her. The next night Ire called and in
formed Miss Thompson that he had
brought with him 81 200 of her money
to invest in Minneapolis property. He
intended LOOKING over the city the next
day. He called again last Wednesday
nlgnt. lie Salu he nad nXeu upon lou
owned by Herman Young, at TAT Tween
tieth avenue east. 1t was very deSira-
bic piece of property, but the price was
S1,400. AS he had only 81, 200 with him,
he would have to call upon his ward to
advance the balance OF the money, in
asmuch as it was for her own benefit.
Miss Thompson gave her supposed
guardian the necessary $500, and he
hurried away to get a deed of the prop
erty. He actually did go to Mr.. Young
and deposit s2) as guarantee that lie
would buy the property. but it was only
to cover his tracks well, for Peterson
skipped the city the next day, and since
then he has not been seen. The heiress
awaited the return of the guardian, but
to no avail, tor he never came back.
She then became suspicious and went
to the West hotel and inquired for him,
but she was told 10 such man ever
stopped there. The matter was re-
ported to the superintendent of police
Saturday night, and all effort is being
made to capture the swindler. He is
six feet tall. has dark eyes and hair.
weighs in the neighborhood of $50
pounds. and when here wore gray

The case OF Charles NJ. Hoag, charged with
cruelty to animals, was on trial in the mu-
nicipal court yesterday afternoon. The
counsel for the defense asked for a continu-
ance, and stated the case was an ou.growth
of a neighborhood row. Judge Mahoney,
however, denied the continuance and grant
ed q jury lual The trial lasted UNI
I'll after dark, great deal of
evidence being Introduced OH bo.h
Sides \ Several of the witnesses swore
that Hoag had given no feed to the cattle all
winter. aside from little that was left over
from threshing. 1t was brought olt that
White Ca ps had threatened Hoag with a
whipping for some misdeed, and this, he
SAID, was the reason he did not dare to go
near his farm. His defense was that he did
not own the farm nor the cattle. The jury
agreed TO disagree at $780, so the case Will
have to be tried over again.

THERE'S A VOID NOW
In the County Treasurer's
Office, for Peterson Is
Suspended.
Gov. Merriam Orders the I'm
fortunate H. o. P. to
Get Out.
There Are Four Separate
Counts Of MalfeaSance
in Office.
Interesting News Culled From
the CourtS--Police and

Hennepin county is without a treas
urer at the present time by virtue of an
order from Gov Merriam suspending
II. 0. Peterson. Although it was ex-
pected that Gov. Merriam would decide
upon such all action, it was not thong hit
that the order would come so soon, con-
sequentIy when it became generally
known about the city yesterday that
Mr.. Peterson had been suspended, con-
siderable surprise was manifested. Mr..
Peterson will demand an investigation
at once, but in the meantime the county
cannot get along without treasurer.
The county commissioners will there
fore meet this morning to choose q
treasurer al interim.
The investigation of the affairs of the
HennepIn county treaSurer's office by
Public Examiner Kenyon was pretty
thorough one, and last Thursday he
filed his report with the governor. The
next day he submitted a supplementary
report showing the manner i'll which
Treasurer Peterson was compensated
by the various banks for depositing
county funds with them. Before
this supplementary report was made,
Gov. Merriam had left st. Paul and was
en- route for New York. Secretary Tams
BlXby took the report and went to Chi
cago, where he intercepted the gov
ernor and returned TO st. Paul Sunday
armed with the document which sus-
pen1ed Treasurer Peterson from office.
The document charges malfeasance III

stripped of all legal verbiage and is
short and to the point. The county
Itself will lose nothing by the operation.
for the treasuIer'S bOndSmen will be
held in any event.
There is scarcely any necessity of
going over the history of the case again,
inasnuch as it has all been aired in the
newspapers. No one here believes Mr..
Peterson really dishonest, but credit his
downfall to incOmpetency and ignor-
ance. The politicians who were re-
sponsible for his election feel trifle
blue over the way matters have turned
out, vet all are willing to believe in Mr..
Peterson'S honesty until the charges Of
the bank examiner are sustained. Con-
siderable interest in the matter is
evinced in banking circles, for nearly
all of the local banks are either directly
or indirectly interested. The supple
mentary report made by Public Ex-
aminer Kenyon is gwen below and will
prove of interest to bankers and bust
ness men in general:
