The New York policeman who has just
ben fined twenty-five days pay for being
off post while experimenting the erection
Of some houses that he Ia having built
should not be SO angry with the authorities
as to carry the case to the courts, as he
suggests he may. He is a very fortunate
man. Other policemen have been detected
in the possession of great wealth-this one
owns 100000 in real estate-and have suf
fered dismissal and disgrace in conse-
quence. This man enjoys the reputation
not only of being the richest man on the
force. but Of having acquired his money
honestly. He is in that respect a veritable
curiosity. To him the small matter Of
twenty-five days pay should not be suffi-
cient cause to bring about dispute with
the authorities. who might perhaps be dis
posed to create vacancy on the force that
would be very profitable to some poor, de-
serving applicant for position. A bird in
the hand is worth two in the bush, even to a
wealthy New York policeman.

the firm owning the Mankato Steam

working inside of a boiler, which was
along side another one, when
the engineer turned steam and water
into the boiler, and in his attempt to
get away from it and out of the

to disengage it he was obliged to put
his hand into the hot water. He was
helped out Of the boiler, but one

ITS A GO.
Contractor Carroll Bids Within the
Figures Allowed.

Contractor Carroll was in the city
Friday and stated to a FREEPREss re-
porter that he sent in bid to Wash
ington last night on the addition to
the public building, under the revised
specifications, and that it falls within
the limit allowed by the supervising
architects Office.
There is now little doubt that the
addition to the building is assured,
and it only depends upon the accept
ance of this latest bid. Mr.. Carroll
also inclosed a suggestion whereby
some of the betterments can be s.
cured, if the department accepts it,.
He would have the approaches let un-
der separate contract. Mr.. Carroll
intends to put force of men on the
building as soon as he hears from
Washington, and states that he will
have the building completed by Nov.
1st, and the postoffice can be opened
there by Dec. 1st. If necessary, he
could get the second story walls up
within two weeks.

WOMAN'S WRATH.
1t Rises up Against her Hubby, Who
was Gay.

Monday night there appeared on the
City Hotel register the names, "A.
Wallace and wife, Butte
City, Mont.," and the par
ties were assigned room, the al
legged wife arriving on later train
than Wallace" who had come in the
afternoon. In the morning the
woman went away.
Thus far this is merely an ordinary
incident, but an afterclap followed.
Thursday lady giving the name Of
Mrs. Wallace Cowles, of Mountain
Lake, arrived in the city, and threat
ened to make it warm for her hus-
band, who she said was none other
than the man who had registered as
"a. Wallace" She was positive of
the name and handwriting. Her
story was that her husband is bar
Der and that she had heard that he
was inconstant. When he left, and
the girl followed, she suspected some
thing. Before he went she had twitt-
ed him on the matter, but he had
said that he didn't want her to bother
herself about his doings.
Mrs. Cowles went out to the home
of her father, w. H. Fish, at Elysian,
and found Miss Alice Norton, OF
Mountain Lake, there. The girl left,
but when afterwards seen claimed
that she worked for Cowles in store.
Mrs. Cowles was referred by County
Attorney Benedict to the authori-
ties at Elysian, and by them to JUS
tice Reinsburg, of Madison Lake, who
yesterday afternoon granted warrant
for Cowles' arrest on the charge of
fornicaton. Cowles went back to
Mountain Lake, as Mr.. Reinsberg as.
certained by telegraphing to the
mayor of Mountain Lake. Constable
E. D. Helder started after him, and
passed through this city this fore
noon, leaving on the 1910 train. He
expects to lodge his prisoner in the
city lookup here tomorrow morning
on his way to Madison Lake. Mrs
Cowles threatens to bring an action
| for divorce.

TRAMPS DISCHARGED.
Tom Johnson Places His Loss
at SIS.

The three tramps who were arrested
on suspicion of being the parties who
stole Tom Johnson's trunk from a
sealed box car at the Minneapolis &
ST. Louis depot Wednesday night were
taken before Judge Shissler Frida y
morning and he "quizzed" them as to
their business. They got considerably
mixed under his examination. One
claimed to be carpenter from Rock
Island, who had not seen that city for
six months. Another was a logger
from Milwaukee.
"Where have you logged?" de-
manded the court.

Show did you get so far from your
base of operations?"
The fellow had not counted on an
examination in geography, and kept
his silence.
"What's your business?" said the
court to the third hobo.
ga horse trainer"
"Where is your territory"
Between Sioux City and Mime
polls. travel it frequently"
"Well, sir, the court would consider
it favor if you would make your
future trips along some other line"
The first man said, in reply to a
question, that he could walk mile in
twenty minutes, and the second man
said that he could do as well as the
first man. The court gave all three
thirty minutes to get outside of the
city limits, on pain OF sentence to
thirty days hard labor in that myth
ical "workhouse."
Tom johnson, the owner of the
trunk, turns out to be man who
went to the old country on visit last
December, and who returned home
two or three days ago. He has check
for the trunk, and finds about S75
worth of clothing and various articles
which he had brought back with him
stolen. He has given an inventory of
the missing articles to Agent Powers,
and the road will doubtless reimburse
him. The greater part of the con-
tents of the trunk were taken. A
careful search could reveal no clue
that would throw suspicion on anyone
as the thief, and only charge of
vagrancy was entered against the
tramps who were arrested on s.
piciOn.
