The Springfield Republican remarks:
1t may be very paternalistic. but 1t is
none the less a very wholesome step
which the heads Of departments at
Washington have taken in notifying
employees that they must keep their
store bills paid about the city or run the
risk of being dropped from the govern
ment paw rolls. The government Is not
merely enforcing good example In the
private dealings Of its employees, but is
acting for its own protection, for per-
sons who are lax or dishonest with ref
erence to these current obligations
would be apt dnally to prove untrust-
worthy in their place Of employment.

was paid to him until yesterday after
neon, when there arrived at the hotel
a package Of clothing from MabIey &
CareW's, upon which there were
charges of $10.75, to be collected OIL
delivery. Gard had instructed the
salesman from whom he had made the
purchase to send the package to the
hotel office and collect the money from
the clerk.
Upon presenting the parcel and the
bill ait the clerks desk, there was some
hesitation about paying the money, in
asmuch as Gard was wholly unknown
at the hotel. The clerk told the mes
senger from Mabley & Carew's to take
the parcel to Mr.. Cards room. Soon
afterwards the messenger came down
stairs and said that he could not leave
the package as Mr.. Gard had no money.
The hotel people then instituted an
investigation. When one Of the clerks
called at Mr.. Cards room, that gentle
man became much embarrassed, and
told conflicting stories. He finally
said that he was trained nurse and
that he came here to accept a position
at the College Hill sanitarium. He
stated that he would go to College Hill
Immediately and procure money with
which to pay his bill at Mabley & Car
ew's, and also his hotel bill
The hotel people were not willing to
have him depart under such circum-
stances, believing that he simply in
tended to leave the city. An officer
was sent for. and Gard was detained
at the hotel office. Before the officer
arrived Gard ran to the rear door Of
the hotel and attempted to get out,
but could not find the exit, and fed up
stairs. He raised a window at the
end Of a corridor on the second floor
and sprang out on the fire escape. On
this he descended until fifteen or TWEEN
ty feet from the ground, at which
point he reached the end Of the ladder.
He hesitated not moment, but leaped
off the bottom of the fire escape and
alighted in the mud and slush. Beyond
a severe shaking up he was uninjured,
and, regaining his feet, he disappear
ed around a corner
While all this was transpiring a
young man named West, who is also
a professional nurse, was in the din
ing room, as a guest of Gard at din
and took West into custody. He stated
that he met Gard only yesterday,
and that the two being trained nurses,
became friends. Gard invited him to
dinner, and this accounted for his
presence there. He had also taken sup
per with Gard at the hotel Thursday.
West, in company with Detective
and obtained money with which he
paid his part of the bill
Gard was soon afterwards found by
the detective and taken to the police
headquarters. Mr.. Dunbar accompan-
led him, for the purpose of preferrlng
a charge of defrauding the hotel
Upon being searched, Gard was found
to have letters of introduction and
recommendation from leading physi-
clans in Minneapolis, and, upon tell
ing a very hard luck story. he
touched the heart Of Mr.. Dunbar who
cecfoed not IA prosecute. Gard was
thereupon released. The hotel peo-
pie ascertained that he had no posi-
ton at College Hill. He seems to have
simply gone broke" and to have at
tempted to get out of his difficulty by
making very strong talk Of his vo-
cation and prospects.

GAUZY TALE, THIS.
Twin City Millionaire Said to Have
Heen Dragged.

A special dispatch to the st. Louis
GlObe-DemOcrat from Montreal, dated
Feb. 8, contains a sensational story
about a Minneapolis millionaire real
estate owner" who has been travelling
in the East The substance Of the
story is that the millionaire had been
drugged or hypnotized by two smooth
rascals, who were bleeding him and
fast making away with his money. A
careful investigation in Minneapolis
does not show that any of the mill
iOnaires are missing.
The dispatch says that about three
months ago three people came to Mon
treal and rented a furnished house at
10 Stanton avenue, West Mount. West
Mount is a suburb, and as these
people lived very quietly and seemed
to have some mysterious business
they excited the curiosity of the neigh
bors and they were reported to the
police. About the time the city was
flooded with counterfeit money and it
was thought that perhaps this trio
might be engaged in making the
queer" Nothing was discovered to
criminate them however but a grocer's
boy told the police captain that he had
seen the women push the old man
down the stairs, into the cellar
About this time the Minneapolis
feature of the affair came out, and here
is what the dispatch says about It,
"A wealthy real estate owner Of that
place and st. Paul, who had been
travelling for some time, began to draw
heavily on his bank account, and as
the checks all came from Montreal.
his superintendent decided to come
East and investigate, as he could get
no explanation nor any answer to his
letters. His employers address was
always general delivery, Montreal"
ION arriving here, by the aid of a de-
tecuVe, he soon learned Of the Stanton
avenue matter. and at once said he
knew all about - but on the door or
the house being opened 20 him, it was
Immediately slammed in his face. He
called on Superintendent Carpenter, of
the Canadian secret service, and eX-
planned the position Of affairs to him,
stating that his employer was in the
hands Of two sharpers. who kept him
under the influence Of drugs. and who
were gradually bleeding him Of his
fortune.
THE very next day Mr.. Carpenter re-
paired to the place, but too late, as
the house was tenantless, the Crcu-
pants having left for Halifax the even
ing previous, from whence they sailed
for England last week. AS the boat
by which they left is not yet reported,
1t is expected that the pair will be ar
rested on arriving at Liverpool.
Though the story Is published in all the
papers here. the authorities refuse to
divulge the name of the old gentleman
or anything else than that he comes
from Minneapolis, and Is million
afre, and that 1t Is one Of the most SEM
,sational cases ever before them.
