Frank 1. Gleason, the defaulting ex-
city recorder, the Alexander power Of
attorney forger and perjurer, the sus-
pect in connection with the burning
of the residence of Andrew Birum
and Park Hotel, the ex-partner and
tool of ex-President Beard of the de-
funct Bank of Fairfax, the temporary
candidate of J. L. Byram as sheriff to
succeed Casper Blethen, whom the
latter's friends forced into a resigna-
ton on the suspicion of having COM
mitted heinous offense, now turns
up as wife deserter and an eloper
with one of St. Paul's alleged men,
bers of the demi-monde.
The latter fact leaked out on Thurs
day of last week. There had been
rumors going around for long time
past to that effect and one or two of
Gleason's friends attempted to quiet
the rumors. saying that Gleason was
trying to pull out square and advising
people to give him chance. But the
rumors continued to circulate, never
theless and the confirmation came
with the sudden leak.
It appears that Gleason had been
working for the Sioux City Engine
Works of which w. H. Allen of this
city is field agent up to couple Of
moaths ago when he got down to
threshing up in the northern part Of
the State. OF late, or rather prior to
his elopement, he has been working
up around Ortonville at various jobs.

just what the insurance companies
propose to do or what Beard and Da-
Wis propose to do is question. It is
stated that Davis signed a note for
$500 with Gleason several months ago
as his commission for writing the poll
cy. Davis denies this, however.

the two would go into South Dakota
where Gleason was to work for the
Sioux City Engine & Iron Co. Gleason
came back to Redwood Falls on Tues
day, June 9Th, for the purpose Of car
rying out the matter of getting the in
surance money but it appears that
Sylvester Davis was not ready to give
down. The following Thursday The
Gazette contained the expose Of the
forgery and perjury in connection
with the Alexander power Of attorney,
and the expose undoubtedly knocked
the intentions Of Gleason higher than
the proverbial kite.

that the woman who he introduced as
his wife went with him. When Mes

were made for an elopement. Gleason

arrangements to elope with the girl.

HOW MADE $1,000

BY not sowing Salzer's seeds! That is
what jolly farmer said as he entered
our sanctum. How is that? Why,
says he, Salzer's seeds not only grow
but they produce enormously. Had I
planted few acres more of his oats,
wheat. corn, potatoes, grass and clover
seeds, would have had to double the
capacity of my barns; that would have
cost me $1,000. 1t is fact that if you
want big, rousing farm, grass and vege-
table crops, you must SOW Salzer's seeds.
IF YOU WILL CUT THIS OUT AND SEND IT
with &c postage to the John A. Salzer
Seed company, La Crosse, Wis, you will
get free sample of GRASS AND CLOVER

of friendship sprang up between the
young people, sort of brotherly and
sisterly affection, and they seemed
never SO happy as when in each others
society. Bit by bit Alice had drawn
from him many little details of his life
not embodied in the story he had told
her, and his manly character and bril-
liant intellect shone in her eyes with
more luminous power as by deft ques-
tioning she gradually unfolded his
past history. She lost sight of his
rank, of the humble sphere in which
he moved, and contemplated him only
as gentleman of lofty station bowling
for the nonce beneath passing cloud
of adversely, and she looked upon it as
a Christian duty and privilege to do all
in her power to pluck the thorns from
the path which circumstances COM
PEELED him to tread. She felt that Mr..
Thornton was her equal from social
point of view, and soon came to regard
him as one entirely worthy Of her
friendship and esteem. AS Private
Brown he was but an ordinary cog in
the great machinery of war and mil
itary duty. She seldom saw him on
duty-in fact, she had but once noticed
him in the ranks, and then at a review
of the troops at the post, and his SOL
dierly attitude in the saddle as his
troop moved along the parade ground
called from her brain thought which
her lips half whispered:
"He was born to command"
Had Alice's mother been living she
would have been led by sense of hlial
duty to go to her and tell her the his
tory of her new friend, and the social
equality on which she met him. Her
maidcnly instinct limited to her that it
might be wrong for her to conceal her
relations with the young soldier from
her father, yet in the knowledge of his
severe ideas of propriety she feared if
she were to make known to him the
truth her intercourse with her friend
would meet with an abrupt ending.
The more she considered this phase of
the matter the greater it troubled her,
and in girlish confidence she one day
went to Mrs. Colby, the matronly wife
of the senior captain of the Sixth Cav
airy, and related to her the story of
the unfortunate private soldier.
''Why, Alice, child, what remark
able story!'' the good lady exclaimed.
"What refreshing chord you have
struck and started to vibrating to
arouse the dreary stiffness of garrison
life. A gentleman, an artist, a scholar,
a philosopher, and goodness knows
what else masquerading right under
our eyes as private soldier. And the
heir to a fortune, too! Really, you
quite take my breath away. Have you
told the colonel of him?"
II have not spoken to Q1pa of him
since learned his history. told him
of our first meeting and of my aston
ishment at finding man of such re-
fined bearing and artistic skill in the
ranks, but he took little interest in the
matter. Merely limited that crime
might lie behind his enlistment"

Mrs. V. Curley, who has resided in Clar-

siders rescue from premature death. Her
narrative is as follows:

moments warning.
Ny troubles increased as time wore on,

was impossible for me to retain food, and

me about the case of Mrs. Thurston, of OK

officers whom her father had taught
her were true gentlemen, and Private
Brown did not suffer in the least by
the comparison. BY the timcsihe had
