Police Round Up a Gang of Alleged
PickpOckets,

The police department Monday even
ing began a general roundup of
gang of young men who are believed
by the police to be engaged exclusively
In the pickpocket business. Yesterday
morning, when the last of the gang
had been corralled in his room on East
Seventh street by Lieut.. Babe, the CEN
trail station contained seven men, all
under twenty-five years of age. and
most of them believed to be crooked.
They were John, alias Doc" Ken
nedy, Charles Cohn, BILLY" Hoban,
Mickey Lynch, Frank Smith, Ear
nest Sharp and Louis Padden. All but
Sharp, who is new character to the
st. Paul police, are given unsavory
regulations by Chief Clark, who eX-
presses determination to rid the city
Of the gang and protect the public
from their work This resolve was
taken by Chief Clark Monday even

Kennedy. but managed to escape at
the time OF his arrest. Later, how
ever, Cohn was gathered in by Officer
Mccormick, and Lieut.. Bahe arrested

STILL AT BEAVER FALLS.
RenvfIle County,s Seat Not to Go to
Olivia.

Beaver Falls will remain for time at
least, the county seat of Renville coun-
ty. Olivia thought that it would be
moved, but the supreme court yester-
day decided otherwise. The matter was
one which, outside of the county in ques-
ton, amounted to little more than an
noyance to the supreme court. The
only question involved was whether or
not the law requiring 55 per cent of the
voters to indorse a proposed county seat
removal referred to the total number
of voters, or only those who voted so
that the judges of election could figure
out how they voted. The supreme court
says, the total number Of voters, re-
ballots intelligibly or not. The sylla-
bus follows:
Joseph Smith, contestant, appellant, VS.. Board
of County Commissioners of Renville Coun-
ty, respondent.
Syllabus-For the purpose of determining
the number of Votes cast at election
1889, G. S. 1885, Sec. CAT ct seq, all of the bal
lot cast, uninteligible, as well as Ineligible
must be considered and to effect removal it
must effirmatively appear that at least So
per cent of all votes or ballots cast were in
favor thereof.
2. At the election in question 2219 votes
were cast in favor of removal, 1,790 votes
against removal and GO votes or ballots were
deposited in the ballot boxes, presumably by
legal voters, from which it was impossible to
ascertain whether the voters intended to vote
for or against removal
Held that hte requisite So per cent of the
votes cast was not obtained.
Judgment reversed. Collins, j.
