JEWELRY FOUND.

Wednesday young man named
Mr.. Brooks, who lives north of the
city, found a package of jewelry in
one of the stone quarries north of the
city, and turned it over to the police.
1t was identified as that which was
stolen from j. B. & d. Richards
store, and is in possession Of the police
department. The owners are not sure
that all of the jewelry has been
found, but that which has been re-
covered does not present very much
value.
Richards Bros. thought that by sup
pressing the publication of the find,
they might have better opportunity
of tracking the thief. Upon their
statement that the ReUieao publishers
had promised to make no mention of
the affair, the FREE PRESS gave a
similar promise. With their usual
high conception of honor, the RevieaU
publishers printed the report Of the
find in last evenings issue. The
FREE PRESS has been "scooped" by
our enterprising contemporary in the
same way several times before, and it
now and hereby serves notice on the
public that it will enter into no agree
ment in the future to suppress any
news item. 1t will be useless for any
one to ask it; saying that other pub
fishers have promised to suppress it, as
our experience has proved the unreli-
ability of such promises. Such de-
velOpments in the news line as may
occur from time to time will be given
to the public, without favor to any
one.

MONDAY.
The trial of the $4,000 damage suit
of Joseph Baumgartner VS.. the Man
kato Street Railway Co., took up the
day in the District court. Baumgart-
ner, Mike Fallenstein, Martin Nc
Gayle, Dennis Fooly and VIM. Buck
holtz were examined on behalf of the
plaintiff. The case will take up a
portion of tomorrow.
This case will be followed by the
Conway case, and the drawing OF a
jury may begin tomorrow. 1t is
thought that several days will be
taken up in this work. 1t will be diff
ficult to secure men who have not
heard of this case in the news
papers.
Mr.. Empey, one of the states main
witnesses, has returned to the city in
company with Sheriff Glynn, who
went to Lincoln, Neb., after him.
Empey has been in the city more or
less, but suddenly disappeared about
ten days ago, and could not be found.
Finally he was heard of at Lincoln
and-the sheriff was sent to secure his
presence. The attorneys for the de-
PENDANT deny all lnsinuations that
they or their clients knew anything
about the disappearance of the states
important witness.

WANTS DAMAGES.
Mrs. Alice Slime Sues G. II. Saul
paugh for $50, 900 for Alleged
Breach of Promise.
Mr.. SauIpaugh Will Fight the
Case-He Denies the Charges
and Says 1t Is an Attempt
at Biackmaii.

The Minneapolis papers contain &C
counts of a suit brought against Clar-
ence II. Saulpaugh, Of this city, by
Mrs. Alice Slime, for 5000 for alleged
breach of promise. The suit
was commenced about a month
ago. but has not been placed
on file in this county as yet. The
case is somewhat sensational and
is said to be likely to involve the
names of number of Well-knOwn
Minneapolis gentlemen as witnesses.
The Minneapolis Times gives little
account of Mrs. Slime, who, it says,
was few years ago ''known as Alice
Booth, and, if not notorious woman
of the town, at least had reputation
which made her identity familiar to
the police and fast young men of the
city. She once created sensation by
chasing a well-known business man,
who kept her as his mistress, on the
street one night when she was attired
in robe de mutt. The woman pos
sesses a rather stately figure, and
dressed stylishly if not stunningly."
Mrs. Slime was housekeeper at The
Saulpaugh for year or two, and is
remembered as rather fine looking
woman by those who saw her. She
conducted herself properly while in
this city, and performed her duties in
an efficient manner. The Times says
that she made a formal demand for a
settlement some time ago, through a
Chicago attorney, which was not COM
piled with.
The action for. breach of contract is
understood to be based upon
letters from the defendant, of
which there are said to have been a
large number.
Mr.. Saulpaugh stated to a FREE
PRESS reporter this afternoon that the
case was one of attempted blackmail
He denied that there was any con-
tract of marriage, or that there was
any breach of contract. He intends
to fight the case, and in this he is fol-
lowing the wishes of his wife as well
as his own inclinatiOns and the adj
vice of attorneys. If the case comes
to trial, as it probably will, it is I'M
stood that the defense will endeavor
to prove that the plaintiff was a
notorious woman, with reputation
such as to preclude the idea that she
could have suffered any damages by
any alleged breach of contract.
B. d. Smith is Mr.. Saulpaugh's at
torney.
The summons and complaint was
served very quietly about month ago,
and the answer has been put in. The
complaint was prepared by Chicago
attorney, where it is believed the
plaintiff now is, and was prepared in
accordance with the common law.
Only the straight allegation Of breach
of contract was made, and the defend
ant makes simply general denial Of
the facts alleged.
The suit has caused considerable
talk on the streets, being received
with surprise on all hands. The
sympathy is very generally with Mr..
SaulDaugh

About 1915 o'clock Sunday after
noon an alarm brought the fire depart
ment and hundreds of citizens to the
j. r. Jones' residence, on state street,
A small fire on the roof was quickly
eXtinguiShed by stream Of water,
with some difficulty. 1t is supposed
that the fire started from spark
from the chimney, and was first MOTTO
ed by neighbors. The chimney was
not burning out, which makes the oc-
curence an unusual one. The dam
age by fire was trifiing amounting
only to small hole in the roof, but
the water injured the paper and
plastering in several of the rooms.
The building was insured. B. d.
Smith, who occupies the house with
his family, estimates the loss at S4OC
to $500 all told, including the damage
to his furniture and belongings.
Mrs. j. J. Shaubut, writing from

CITY ATTORNEY Young is deserving

City Attorney Young is deserving
of cOngratulations on his success in
defending the city in the suit brought
by John e. Burke. On the first trial
the jury disagreed, eight being favor
able to the plaintiff. When the jury
retired after the recent trial only one
ballot was necessary. Mr.. Young
handled the case in a mastery way
and demonstrated that he is one of
the best city attorneys the city ever
had.

DREW A REVOLVER.

John Page consulted Pau 81 Young
Monday about getting out warrant
for the arrest of VIM. Fuller, but as the
latter could not be found no
warrant was issued. Mr.. Page states
that as he and his wife were driving
in North Mankato yesterday, Fuller,
who was ahead or him, turned out
and allowed him to come up abreast.
Fuller then drew a revover and aimed
it at Mr.. Page, and bystanders say he
snapped it and then tried to put in
another cartridge. Mr.. Page, who had
tried in vain to reason with Fuller,
drove on. Mrs. Page was divorced
from Fuller year ago, and it is said
that he has been jealous ever since,
and made threats. There were a
number of witnesses to the occurrence
Yesterday.

This city has been exceedingly
fortunate in escaping without more
rain than it has had during the past
two weeks. In ST. Paul there have
been more than twenty separate rain
storms since May 1st, and various
cities north, west and east of us have
suffered severely from heavy and pro-
longed rains, due to.the unseasonably
hot weather. Now that the expect
ed reaction has taken place, and it
has become as much too cold as it
was too hot the weather may become
settled.
