Drink Captured the Horse Thief

Saturday Fargo Forum says: Officer
Nystrum made an important capture
last night. He did it rather unawares,
too, as he thought at first he was rum
ming in plain drunk. The prisoner
turned out to be Frank LaPierre, a
French half-breed, who is wanted for
stealing horse and buggy from
Sickles & Co., of Casselton and an
other horse ut Hope. A reward of
500 has been offered for his aupre-
hension on the first charge. About
two months ago LaPierre hired q horse
and buggy at Casselton and said he
was going to Mapleton. He never
came back. 1t is now supposed that
he drove the rig to Cooperstown where
twas sold. AT Hope he is alleged
to have hired u saddle horse and rid
den it to Fargo, reaching here Satur.
day night. The animal was placed in
jeff Young's barn, but yesterday was
given to two other fellows, who are
| supposed to be LaPierre's partners.
When arrested last night the alleged
horse thief was very drunk and had
been hourishing razor at Mrs. Har-
per's. He had an old fashioned re-
volver about as long as his arm. AT
first he gave his name of Joseph La
valle, but later admitted his identity
though he strenously denies the crime.
Some years ago he was brakeman
on the N. p, between Fargo and
and Staples, and is said to have served
term in the Bismarck pen for horse.
stealing.
Mr.. Sickles came in from Casselton
this morning and positively identified
LaPierre as the man who hired the rig
from him on Nov. II. This afternoon
the prisoner was arraigned before
Judge Gearey and waived examination
He was bound over to the district
court under $3.50 bonds, in default of
which he was taken to the county Jail.
He claimed his name is George instead
of Frank.

COMMISSION HAS ARRIVED.
Mrs. w. u. Duggan Is Now a FULL
Pledged Police Officer.

Mrs. w. y. Duggan is now full
fledged police officer. Her commission
issued by Governor u. II. Hastings,was
received yesterday by Recorder OF
Deeds Heuster and before him Mrs.
Duggan subscribed to the oath of Of
tice. Her commission clothes her with
the powers Of police officer anywhere
in Pennsylvania.
For ten years Mrs. Duggan has been
a most valuable adjunct to the police
department of this city. Although not
directly connected with 1t her duties
as agent of the board of associated
charities and society for the preven-
ton of cruelty to children and aged
persons has brought her into contact
with a class TO whom the police have
to devote good deal of attention.
Many of the persons she came in con-
tact with, knew she was not clothed
with any legal powers and her influence
over them was not what it would he If
1t was known that she represented the
majesty of the law. Now it will be diff
ferent and although Mrs. Duggan will
not swing a club or patrol beat she
will have as much authority as any
blue coat that does.
Her commission will be of great as
sistance to her in rescuing fallen wo-
men from haunts of vice and in getting
possession of children who are raisad
by their mothers in dens where shame
less vice holds forth night and day.
Resorts that supply girls of tender
years with intoxicating drinks will also
come in for some of Mrs Duggan's at
tention.
She is a woman who goes about her
work quietly and in appearance is
about the last person one would suspect
of wearing a star. Behind the lady
like reserve that is an inseparable part
of the woman she possesses a world of
determination and never flinches in the
performance of any duty no matter

MORGAN TURNED REFORMER
Charged John W. Jackson with Keeping
a Gambling House, but Did Not
Appear TO Prosecute.

A gambling den at 307 Center street
came to light yesterday when John w.
Jackson and a colored man named
Brown were arrested on a warrant,
sworn out before Alderman Howe by
Tom Morgan. The place has been
known to be in operation for over q
year past, but so well has it been con-
Quoted that this is the first time the
law has had it's attention directed to
it.
Mr.. Sweeney's vice and immortality
committee passed it by as being utter
ly unworthy Of his notice. The class
of patrons is poor and the limit" is
very low. The den is conducted in a
dingy room over a stable. One large
oil lamp sheds light over table at
which the games of crap and poker are
played. A regular banker is there. He
sells "chips" at from 10 cents to so
cents, and the lower limit is the IA
vorite. The players are mixed-colored
and white-and among the latter there
generally can be seen boys under 16
years of age.
One lad who is regular patron is a
son of a prominent West Side man.
He has became an inveterate gambler
and lives on the proceeds. The game
of crap, which is favorte with the
colored patrons, is played with the
abandon characteristic of colored peo-
pie when laboring under great excite
ment.
Morgan, the man who swore out the
information before Alderman Howe
yesterday, had a grudge against the
place. A hearing was set for O'Clock
yesterday afternoon, but as partly ex-
pected. Morgan did not put in an ap-
pearance, and the two men were dis
charged.
The information which Morgan swore
to states that "there is a faro table
poker is played and crap. Boys under
16 years are admitted"

The late Senator Voorhees, was long a
striking feature in national affairs. As
representative ana senator he was for n
generation n commanding figure in the
Democratic party. AS jury lawyer he
took high rank.
He was not profound man and was
no, the originator Of any legislation Of
note but he was a steady, torceful, even
eloquent public speaker, and this gift
served him well In Congress, on the
stump and at the bar. As politician he
endeavored to keep his sails well set TO
catch the passing breeze, and in this was
fairly successful.
II he had any strong convictions on the
money question they were on the wrong
side, and ye, when the repeal of the pro-
vision to require the purchase Of silver
was pending he got on the right side.
This cost him the good opinion Of many
OF his party whom he had helped to lead
in the wrong path.

II is not prepared in view of the anti

case. II was completed before that de-
cislon was made and would have been
introduced II that decision had not been
made. The only effect OF the decision
is to make the necessity for its enact
ment more imperative.
In its present form the bill represents
the result Of several years Of discus
