CLEVER DETECTIVE WORK.
Four Notorious Eastern Pickpockets
Only Seven Hours i'm the City.


Only Seven Hours in the City.
An exceedingly clever piece of detective
work was performed yesterday by Alphonse
Saase who came here from Chicago prior to
the opening OF the MidwIDter Fair to assist the
local force 10 preventing Eastern crooks from
carrying on their operations.
Saase happened to saunter into the racetrack
about O'Clock yesterday afternoon. and was
only there few minutes when he observed
face that was very familiar to him. 1t was that
of Mickey Gleason, pckpocket who has
scarcely rival at his particular craft In this
country, Mickey was accompanied by three OF
his pals
Directive Dan Coffey was also At the race
track, and Saase looked him up and told him OF
his discovery. They made their way cautiously
TO where Mickey and his pals were seated and
the four pickpockets were startled by the an
Douncement, Consider yourselves under ar
rest"
They offered DO resistance and were escorted
10 police headquarters aud introduced TO Chief
Crowley. They frankly acknowledged they
were pickpockels. but begged the Chief not TO
send them TO prison. They had arrived In the
city at / o'clock yesterday morning and went
straight to the racetrack. They had return
tickets In their pockets, having taken advan.
tage OF the cut rates TO come here and gather in
as much coin as possible b fore going back.
The Chief told them that there was only one
way 10 escape being sent 10 prison, and that
was TO al once use their return tickets. They
wanted TO see the fair just for day. but the
return by the first train. Saase and Coffey saw
them start on their return journey at o'clock
last evening.
THAT is about the quickest piece Of work.

parture. They arrived at IL o'clock, were

School to Revert to Its Founder

TO the city, has come 10 head in a suit filed In
the Superior Court yesterday In which Mayor

All The circumstances connected with aud
leading up TO the present action must be famil-
lar TO readers OF The CALL. When the college
was first Instituted board of trustees was APP
pointed, the members OF which dropped on one
by one, the vacancies being filled by degrees
until but a few months ago when DR.. Cogswell
himself and j. II. Culver were found to be the
only representatives OF the old trust.
Then suit was filed by DR.. and Mrs. Cogs-
well against Trustee Culver, in which 1t was
proposed 10 abolish the trust. The effect of
such a proceeding would be that the premises
of the Poytechncal College would revert TO
DIR. Cogswell himself. II Is through this ac
tion on the part Of the founder that the present
suit is Instituted.

OF the State OF California. on the relation of

DIR. and Mrs. Cogswel conspired together TO
defeat aud destroy the trusts and TO obtain sole
control OF all the property conveyed therein.
BY taking forcble possession OF the buildings
OF his college DIR. Cogswel is said to have, ex-
clude d large mum Der of young people who
were DESTROYS OF receiving their education
mere; and Furthermore, it is charged that
Cogswell held out inducements To his trustees
TO resign.
Attorney William T. Baggett Is drawn into
the case, 10 being alleged that he was employed
by the Cogswels to recover the property In
dispute by suits and proceedings in courts,
which would have the effect OF defeating and
destroying the said trusts.
1t is asked on behalf of the STATE that
the trust be declared valid; that DR..
and Mrs. Cogswell and j. Fl. Culver be removed
from the trust; that their vacancies be filled.
as well as those caused by the resignation of
the other four trustees; that a perpetual in

familiar with her business affairs.
Mrs. William Groom. who lives on the

When asked regarding the woman's
wardrobe yesterday she raised her hands
above her head and said. "Oh, it was the

sent the Logs Adrift,

Some unprinclpled wretch, whose iden-
tity is as yet unknown, played das-
tardly trick upon the L'Anse Lumber
Co. sometime Tuesday night or early
Wednesday morning. The company has
a large number Of logs inclosed in boom
at the head OF the bay. The booms are
connected with 4 inch steel chains SO
that 1t is impossible, with any ordinary
power, to force them apart.
Early Wednesday morning Mr.. Peter
Ciyne. of this place, had occasion to GO
over to Baraga, and in passing around
the head of the bay, he noticed that the
boom had parted aud the logs were drift
ing into the lake. As soon as he
reached Baraga he telephoned the L'Anse
Lumber Co what he had seen. The lat.
ter at once summoned a couple OF tug $
and soon had the logs corralled.
An investigation Of the break in the
boom showed that one of the connecting
chains had been parted by fling of the
head of ''cold-shut" and prying it open
with a cant hook or pevy.
