ana newspaper man, whom he owed.
They made it SO hot for him that he
wired Langstroff for money. How he
got out of Argyle, no one seems to
knew
Itnow :ranspires that the phrenolo-
gist has other names. He has used
them in different parts of the country
where it was necessary that he should
do SO. HIS m inner of life demanded
aliases galore, aud he had them for al.
most every new place he visited. His
career has been checkered one, aud it
was sometimes necessary for him to
move twice to the other fellows enc
move. He is u married man, and his
wife and two children in the east. She
has returned to live with her parents, it
is said, and he has deserted her. Com.
ing west he went into gospel work aud
his true name is Campbell. He was
known as Rev, Campbell while he was
in this work, and n gentleman here q
few days ago recognized him and spoke
to him, calling him by that name.
Leaving this work he went on the lee.
cure platform for the Redpath lecture
bureau. From the rostrum he drifted
into the avocatlon of.an ordinary book
agent, aud ut Devils Lake, Darlington,
Park River, and other places in North
Dakota he took orders for the Redpath
edition of historical works. He had
trouble with the publishers, and these
who say they know, claim that he failed
to turn in all that was due his employers
and his customers were cheated out Of
several dollars each.
At Langdon or Park River he met q
young woman By tho name of Miss
Lubin, and she accompanied him to
Grafton. where they registered at the
Merchants Hotel As Mr.. and Mrs. r. d,
Collins. They stopped there some time,
and Landlord Johnston has bad bill
ON his books of 1921. From Grafton he
went to Grand Forks on subpoena to
appear as q witness in u criminal suit
before Justice Mclaughlin, in which
one Robert Bell was defendant. The
officers are after him now for running
away with this young woman and nde
serting her, and at Grand Forks he
evaded arrest by hiding in disreputa
BILE house.
He is charged with having ruined 8
minister's family while he was engaged
in gospel work. He ran away with the
minister's wife and finally deserted her
and it was then that the name Of Camp
bell is supposed to have been discarded
for another. The particulars of this af
fair cannot be learned at present.
The following is copy of letter
from the proprietor of the Merchants
Hotel at Grafton to the professor"
GRAFTON. N. D., Jan. 10, 1s9e-Prof. c Hiles
Jaynes, Crookston: Dear sir-As yet you have
failed your obligations you promieed. Now,
| Mr. Collins, as knew you by, you are simply
trying to play horse with me, and swindle
others. All ask of you is to pay your bill Of
s2a, as Miss Lubin paid part Of hers. am
| keeping tab on you all the while. only ask
you to act square, and If don't hear from you
| at once, will cause you trouble.
Yours Respectfully,
AMY JOHNSTON.

existence is revealed to the public.
Prof. j Hiles Jaynes, as he was known
here, came to Crookston on Dec 26 fl ON
Fisher, where he spent two days. No
one had heard of him before. He en-
gagged parlcrs in the city, where he dis
seminated phrenology and took in the
shekels during the day, and in the even.
ing he entertained the interested ones
at G. A. r. hall with lecture. He was
a good talker, and he made friends and
won the confidence of many who went
to hear him. No one knew what became
Of him after the lecture each night, and
none perhaps gave it thought. It was
then that the Jeckyl Hyde transforma-
ton occurred, and an hour after he left
the restaurant each night he was smok-
ing cigarettes and drinking beer with
the girls in certain resort. He staid
here and continued this sort of existence
for tive weeks. From here he went to

gave it out that he was just going up to

NEFF RESIGNS.
r. T. DevIin of This City Likely to
Succeed Him.

The San Francisco Bulletin" of last
evening states that Prison Director
Jacob II. Neff has grown tired of the
duties of his office and his resignation
has been handed to Governor Budd,
who, it is said, will accept it without de-
lay.
Mr.. Neff's resignation is a very brief
dc cument. He assigns pressing business
matters and lack of time to give to the
public service as the reasons for his de-
sire to retire from the board. He ex-
presses regret at SeVerirg relations that
existed so pleasantly for SO long period
of time and thanks the Governor for his
uniform kindness and courtesy since he
has been in office.
Mr. Neff has been contemplating this
step for some time, it is said. He has
been very much engaged by his private
affairs of late and his health has not
been of the best. The long, tiresome
night sessions of the board, which are
growing more and more frequent, Were
especially telling on hun and broke into
his home life.
Governor Budd declines to discuss the
matter of appointing a successor to Mr.
Neff, but it is whispered that Robert
7. Devlin of Sacramento is liable tc
receive the honor.

ONLY TWELVE CARLOADS.
Fruit Not Going Forward Quite So
Lively Yesterday.
Five Carloads of Pears and Plums Sent
to London, But the Pears Are
of Small Size.

There was quite a drop in fruit ship
ments yesterday, only twelve carloads
being sent forward although the larg-
est shipment SO far this season came
up from the river orchards, the Acme
bringing up 7,211 boxes and the Apache
2,61S, total of nearly 11,OOO, consist
ing mostly of pears, with some plums,
large portion of it being from various
producers for the London shipment.
| OF the twelve carloads four were sent
to Chicago, five to New York and one
each to Minneapolis, Boston and Mil
waukee.
| In addition to these, five carloads went
last night, constituting the second spe-
cial export train by the California Fruit
Transportation Company, destined for
the London market OF this amount,
three carloads were shipped by the Earl
Fruit Company, consisting of Bartlett
pears in half crates, Souvenir de Paris
pears, Washington piums and German
prunes from the Sacramento River dis
t1ict The remainder was sent by Sol
Runyon of Courtland, A. 7. Hatch of
Solano and the National Fruit Associa-
tion of this city.
| The shipment will make passenger
train time to New York, connecting at
that city early next week with one of the
American Line express steamers for
Southampton, at which point the fruit
will be transferred to cars, in which it
will complete the journey to London.
There has been complaint from the
East that the pears this season were
very small and We're therefore not bring
| ing the prices they should. 1t would
| therefore seem risky to send pears to
London to a market not yet established,
like those that were shipped yesterday
not larger than turkeys egg.
| The reputation of California fruit has
suffered much in the East in the past
| from the fact that inferior fruit was
| shipped, and although the courage of
| those who are conducting the expert
ment of opening up q European market
| for our producers is to be admired, it
might be worth while to stop and con-
slider whether the shipment of such
small pears smooth and nice appearing
though they be, is not calculated to give
the Londoners the idea that they are the
best we can produce end lead to COM
rarison of them with the French and
| Flemish pears, from which some OF our
best varieties have been propagated and
which have been for long time known
to the English.
Yesterdays sales were not so satis-
factory in the Eastern cities, more es-
pecially in Chicago, where the market
| was demoralized by Mondays heavy
sales, and the hot weather
| In Minneapolis fruit did better, Bart
let's selling at 81 40 to 81 40 for ven
| tilated cars.
| In Boston one carload of pears, ap-
PIES and plums sold for ST ,149, a second
| for $3.50 and a third for S1,O31.
| In New York there was a low market,
hut the weather was turning cooler and
prices will probably get better.

zini came out there either.
A. Mazzini testified that he knew most
of the Italians in the district and went
out on his own account to influence
them in their voting. He was not en-
gagged by Sullivan to do SO. He saw
Finley and some others get into bus
to go out into the country on the even
ing of May 9th. He went out because
he wanted to see that some OF his
countrymen who were newly natural
lied had a chance to vote.
George Cutter testified that Lfppin-
colt had worked for him over a year,
and then went to Oregon for over a
year. He worked for witness for over
thirty days prior to the election. When
he went to Oregon he left his things at
witness place, and had told him that
he never voted in Oregon.
Edward Finley said that he was res
ident of the district for over thirty days
prior to election. He and c. Duffy went
out to the Burns place on May 9th,
with two or three others. They went
out to chop wood for Mrs. Burns. They
left on the evening of the 9Th and came
to come back, but he said he wanted
to go to town. She offered him 81 a
cord to cut wood He and the three
men who went with him cut twenty or
twenty-five cords of wood, mad after
ward made some hay. Two Of them
came to town with him, and the other
one quit work on the 9th, too. A man
named Brophy hired them to go out,
but said nothing about voting.
George Vice swore that he was In
side the room when the votes We're be-
ing counted, and stood close to Muller
when he tailed the votes. The latter
objected to Intercum's vote and did not
tally it. Witness called attention to
the fact, and the votes were counted
again. He denied that he or Sullivan
said anything about Ford being on to
his job" He was not an elector of the
district, but challenged one voter.
j. j. Donohue, a relative of Sullivan,
denied handing up two ballots to Ford
when he voted. He had been in the
East for a year and a half and came
back on May Sd, travelling around He
did not vote at s-ly election while East.

Kearney remembered Intercum's bal
lot. His name was written on it in ink
under Sullivan's.
Both parties rested their case, and c.
I. Jones, for the respondents, said he
was willing to submit without argu-
ment. c. H. Dunn, however, wished to
present some points to the court, and
did so.
Judge Catlin passed on each point
made by the contestants, holding that
no fraud had been committed by the
board that under the school law the re-
quirements for registration fifteen days
previous to election did not apply; that
the testimony of the witnesses who
overlooked Muller when tallying showed
that he did not tally Intercum's vote on
the first count, and that the votes were
the best evidence of the number voting,
| rather than the tally sheet. He there

PAINFUL ACCIDENT.
Louis kemnitzer Will be Kept From
Work for a While.

Louis H. KemnitZer, a blacksmith in
the Southern Pacific shops, met with a
severe accident yesterday, which almost
resulted in the loss cf an eye.
While forging a piece of iron under a
heavy hammer the tongs became de-
tached and the red-hot iron being struck
edgeways flew from the anvil, striking
Kemnitzer on the forehead and one eye.
His head was badly gashed and burned
and the eyelid was cut through in two
places.
Owing to the burned condition of the
wound it Will be some time before he
again works at his forge.
