EXAG GERATED STORY.
MAYOR FITCH ACTED IN GA
GILES INTERESTS.
Ee Hunted Down the Bunco Men
and Located the Stolen Draft
Aided eagle With Money.

Further investigation into the story
related by John II. eagle, of Seattle,
Saturday concerning the robbery at
South ST. Paul develops that that gen.
tleman.in his excitement over the affair,
was led to make some statements con-
corning Mayor Fitch that are not borne
out by the facts.
Mr.. eagle called on Mayor Fitch
about IL O'Clock Saturday morning and
asserted that he had been robbed out of
a draft for 800. Mayor Fitch was not at
a loss rs to whom to suspect, AS for
some time past he has kept sharp eye
on some noted bunko men. He came to
this city with Mr.. Gagle and proceeded
to hunt for his man on Seventh street.
He was finally spotted and informed
that the draft had to be surrendered at
once. 1t was learned that it has been
taken to the Bank OF Minnesota, where
it had been accepted for collection only,
aud had been sent to New York.
Mayor Fitch urged the stranger to
prosecute the men concerned in the
affair, but eagle was more anxious to
get away than to remain and attend
court. Consequently Mayor Fitch gave
him his personal check for expenses to
carry him TO his destination, Wabash,

an editorial comment Oh the prodigious

whom she has twice appeared in grand
concert given under the patronage of
the Schubert club. Among other ex-
pressions appreciative of the rare ac-

Courier says:
lit is not often we can refer to a
voice as being phenomenal. but in this
particular instance we can even aptly
term the case as prodigious. This :
Ing an age of Surprises. we can prepare
ourselves for almost anything, but that
a voice exists that can vibrate pure and
clear tones throughout register from

comprehension. We refer to the young
California singer, Miss Ellen Beach
Yaw. who created such furore OH her
initatory concert tour the past season.
This young lady'S voice is the most re-
markable the world has ever known,
and in addition to possessing this gift
in Superlative degree. her voice is
unusually sweet and flexible, guided
by excellent method and natural
ability"
