Cowboys ON q Spree.

A number Of cowboys were in Pierre a
few days ago with the cattle which were
being started for the Chicago market, and
after the trains were gone, proceeded to
enjoy life in their own style. Several Of
them captured the outfit of a blind organ
grinder and proceeded TO do business for
him. They were not backward in pro-
claiming that they were in the business
for the cash there was in it and did not
allow any of their crowd to get away
without a donation, and it is safe to say
that the organ made more money for its
owner the short time the cowboys were
running it than v it has in the same
time before.

Close of the NJ. E. Conference.

Ministerial appointments were made at
the close OF the NJ. Z. conference at YER
million the morning Of the 18th. Resolu-
tons in regard to prohibition made it pos
sible for each minister to retain his pres
ent residence till after the election. The
general missionary society was asked to
appropriate at least $i0,0 O0 for the work
in this conference next year. The statis-
tician shows that there has been an in
crease in all gifts for benevoIence in the
churches. 1t was decided to meet at
Mitchell next year, the time being left to
the board Of bishops.

Flour for the Indians.

The mill at Forest City has secured the
contract for supplying 1907 600 pounds Of
flour at Cheynne agency. In years gone
by the local mills had but little chance on
such contracts, as the bids were let Tor
-four to be supplied in St. Paul or other
northwestern cities, as we'll as at the
agency, and the question Of transportation
was not considered as having any bearing
on the contract price, but when several
local mills were established in that part
Of the state they secured a ''pull" to have
bids let for flour put down ut the agencies.
This gives them a large advantage, and
wherever u local mill desires to hill such
contracts it is generally able to secure
them.

SOME CLERK was CARELESS

A clever thief or thieves succeeded in
purloining five warrants calling for $500
from the Registrars Office yesterday and
In cashing three of the demands, aggre-
eating $120, before their loss was noticed.
Deputy Registrar Peter McGlade is the
man on whom the responsibility of the
loss rests, for he has charge of the office
and is expected to be on hand there at all
times. The first intlmation that any
thing was wrong came when some one
came and called for his warrant. 1t was
then noticed that the small remainin q
bundle of election officers warrants was
missing and the chief deputy at once hur-
ried to the treasury to stop payment on
the missing docupents if possible.
To his chagrin he learned that the war
rants of w. r. Plumb, NJ. Grady and
II. A. Won den Nunberg calling for $40
each, had been forged and cashed. While
McGlade was standing in the Treasury
asking about the missing papers a man
came in and presented one of the war
rants. to which the name of NJ. Mckenzie,
the owner, had been forged.
On seeing the chief deputy he dropped
the warrant and ran oft into the corridor
McGlade followed, and fortunately saw
Policeman H. j. Wright passin and
asked him to place the man under arrest,
which was done. On being taken to the City
Prison and charged with forgery he gave
the name OF James Z. Barry and said he
was a shoemaker living at 36l CIementina
street. He said that the warrant h ad been
given him as present by q man who said
he owned it and that he did net know it
was forged. He could not explain why he
ran when he saw the chief deputy nor
would he give the name of his generous
friend. The officials of the Registrars
Office do not believe that Barry stole the
warrant, but that it was purioined with
the others by some one who gave the
papers to different persons TO cash after
forging the names. This person is being
searched for. There is still one warrant
missing, made out in the name of NJ.
O'Brien. Mckenzie, whose warrant aided
in Barry's detection, served as an officer
in the thirteenth precinct of the Thirty.
ninth Assembly District.
Registrar Hinton said last evening that
he was not in the Office during the hours
when the papers were stolen, but that it
must have been done during the after
noon. He thought some clerk after looking
through the only remaining bundle of
warrants must have laid it on the counter
for an instant and attended to some other
duty, and during that time TIE warrants
were stolen. All of the other papers were
not taken, the demand for the rent of the
registration place being left.
Barry claimed that 1t would be found it
was all mistake and that the demand
warrant was all right.

MI Newton is OF very nervous tenn
permanent and is excitable. His station
In life, quiet habits, family and social rela-
tlons are such that he has never felt the
heavy hand of the law on his shoulder
until Sunday night last, and the new ex-
perience has well nigh unstrung him.
He spent all of Sunday at his country
home, where, in his vast garden, he culled
an immense basket of fragrant flowers for
presentation to his sister-in-law. Mrs
Thomas Morffew, on this side of the bay.
AS night fell Mr.. Newton, wearing a wide
cowboy black sombrero and carrying his
horal Offering, started for this City, which

Anticipating the pleasant surprise he
was about to give his rela ton he silently
stole along the street near Cough hoping
to suddenly enter the house at 1725 Pine
street and astonish everybody with his
presence.
But the policeman, burly fellow with
misdirected detective proclivities. was on
MS track. He had followed Mr.. Newton
Tor some time, and his beThiskered face
under the shade of the broad hatdid much
to make the officer believe that there was
something wrong about the man.
"Stop thereP' shouted the policeman
rusnlng up TO the Hover bearer, who was
stealthlly trying to enter the house.
Newton looked back, but continued to
move on-actions calculated to excite the
suspicion OF true guardian of the peace
he therefore pressed the pace and with
club on high seized Mr.. Newton by the
collar and held him against the wall.
What have you got in that basketr" he
asked in an authoritative tone
"None of your business" was the first
answer that came to Mr.. Newton's mind.
but he modified it by saying, Flowers. d

John T. Euler brought Suit, but His
Wife Is Divorced.
Judge Seawell yesterday granted di-
vorce to Elizabeth Euler from Policeman
John T. Euler on the grounds of cruelty.
The case is peculiar one. Euler orig
inally began suit against his wife, alleging
cruelty, vulgar language ana habitual in
temperance. The parties were married
April %, 1894, and resided at S53 Fifteenth
street. The husband said that his wife
would take money he entrusted to her and
go off on a spree.
On Nav 10 last Mrs. Euler is alleged to
have, in company with another woman
visited Golden Gate Park, where they met
two men, unknown TO the policeman.
The party of four is alleged to have visited
a number OF saloons and drinking resorts.
Al any rate, the policeman says his wife
came home early next morning in a state
of intoxication, her new clothes dirty and
ruined, and reviled him when he expostu-
lated.
The next morning, referring to a former
experience, the husband inquired, ''You
will not ask to come back after your con-
duct of yesterday"
To which inquiry he says she replied {:
" No, / don't want to come back, I
thought you would get on to yourself after
a while.
Mrs. Euler filed an answer and cross
complaint to her hus bands charges $,
denying all his allegations ana in turn
charging him with extreme cruelty. She
said he frequently cursed her and often
drove her from home.
Euler did not oppose his wife's cross
complaint and consequently she was
awarded the decree.
Judge Sanderson yesterday granted a
divorce to Henrietta Hansen from Jorgen

John Nj. Cavariy Jr. Seeks TO Terminate
His Fathers Will Trust.
Another action has been brought to
terminate trust made by will. This
time it is the testament of John M. Cav
arly that is attacked.
Mr.. Cavarly died about year ago,
leaving property valued at $87,543 Al,
$37, ,210 of which is in real estate. By the
terms of his will he bequeathed the prop
erty to the Union Trust Company in trust
for his five children. The trust was TO
continue until Frank B. Cavarly, the
youngest of the heirs, should attain the
age of 80, or, in the event of his death,
until he would have reached that age. II
was also provided that in case of the death
of any of the legatees his snare should go
to any issue he might leave.
Yesterday John NJ. Cavarly Jr. petit
toned the. Probate Court for partial dis
tribution of the estate, alleging that the
trust created was void in its inception.
He asks that fifth of the value of the
personal property be at once delivered to
bim and that his share of the real estate
follow as soon as the estate is settled.
