the bank cases is still causing a good
deal of criticism. People around the
court house think 1t is not only unusual,
but unjust, on the part of County At
torney Anderson not to give men a
trial when they plead for it.
ut Is the first time in the history
of Ramsey county or any other coun-
ty," said a court house habitue yester-
day, that a man has subjected him
self to Imprisonment for the sake Of
securing trial and then having to be
denied 1t in the end. OF course, no
body believes that Anderson can con-
vict any banker now under indictment.
He couldn't convict q man charged
with stealing a shirt waist. But that
makes no difference in the matter.
These men want to be tried and have
1t over with, and they ought to have
that privilege. If Anderson is sick why
doesn't he give somebody else chance.
He sprung the sick, story two or three
weeks ago, but still he keeps on ac-
quitting people. If he were sick then,
why didn't he quit at that time? If
he cannot try these cases why, doesn' t
he get an assistant who can try them.
There are plenty of attorneys I'm ST.
Paul who would be. willing to act as
his assistant and who could handle the
cases. Besides, nobody could do worse
than Anderson himself has done up to
this time. so he might give his as
sistant chance. If he hasn't any con-
fidence in his assistant, then let him
call ON the attorney general to come
down and try them. The law gives
him that privilege. Judge Lewis has
offered to hold court nights to give the
defendants chance to get through
this week. But Anderson won't have
1t. I hope the people are proud of
their prosecuting attorney"

oMAHA.s DIG EXCURSION.
VIII Leave Wednesday, Night for
san Frame iScO.


To appreciate the volume of Cali
fe;rnia travel which the railroads will
have this week on account of the
Christian EndeaVor convention at
San Francisco, one should spend an
hour or two with the chairman of the
transportation committee or the pas
senger agent who is handling the bust
ness George H. MacRae, of the Oma-
ha line, is probably one of the busiest
men in St. Paul just now. His desk is
heaped with letters and kilograms ask
ing for information regarding routes,
rates, stopovers and berths for this
trip, and, as he expressed it, they are
coming in every mail"
Their excursion train will leave here
Wednesday evening at Sis, with every
berth in their tourist sleepers "Omaha,"
Huron" "Harvard' and Arizona"
occupied The magnitude of this re-
suit appears when you consider that
this is only the business secured by one
line, and that the usual California
travel amounts to only about twenty
tickets a month in the tourist season
and hardly anything in the summer.
The ST. Paul party will be in charge
Of Miss F. E. Nicol and E. j. Frisby,
who were members of the st. Paul
committee and e. F. Zonne, excursion
conductor for the Northwestern line.
1t has been arranged to make the start

THEY KEPT IT QUIET
AUGUSTA EDGERTON AND ROBERT
LESLIE SMITH WE'RE MARRIED
IN WISCONSIN.
NOT ONE OF THEIR FRIENDS,
so FAR AS KNOWN, WAS LET INTO
THE COUPLES HAPPY
SECRET.
ALTHOUGH 1T WAS MONTHS AGO
That the NuptiaIs Were SOIemnized
at HOuItOn and the Young
Couple Parted.
NOT ONE OF THEIR FRIENDS,
ALTHOUGH 1T WAS MONTHS AGO

The many friends of both families
will no doubt be as surprised as they
will be interested to learn of the rather
romantic marriage of Robert Leslie
Smith and pretty Augusta Edgerton,
and the fact that it was celebrated
early in the winter will serve to add
rather than detract from the inter
est, for it was only made known to
the parents of the young people this
week, and last night Mr.. Smith took
his young wife to his fathers home
at POI Goodrich avenue.
Miss Edgerton is the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Erastus Edgerton, who
live at 240 West Seventh street. She is
an attractive young woman of eighteen
years, has attended both the Central
high and Mechanic Arts schools, but
for some months has devoted most Of
her time to having her voice cultivat
ed. She is the granddaughter of Judge
Albert Edgerton, a well-knoWn law
yer, who died in st. Paul last Noven
Der. Miss Edgerton met Leslie Smith
when the two were youngsters, the
Edgerton and Smith families having
lived in the same neighborhOod or
Seventh street until within the past
year or two. The children went to the
high school together, and the fact that
Smith graduated and went to the
state university had not the effect Of
separating the youthful lovers. Smith,
who is barely twenty years of age, is
the son of William Smith, deputy
county assessor.
On fIn
man instead of attending his classes at
the ~" met Miss Edgerton, who was
likewise supposed to have gone to
school, and the pair took the train to
Saltwater. They crossed the bridge to
Houlton, just over the state line, and
were married by a local minister.
They returned home Immediately and
have kept their marriage secret from
everybody until this week, when the
families were taken into their conf
dence.
The news proved quite a shock 10
the parents Of the young people, who
were forced to admit that they had
been cleverly outwitted, and that the
chief bar to the marriage was the ex-
IRENE youth Of Mr.. and Mrs. Smith
There was the usual fearful regret on
the part of the romantic young people
and the consequent forgiveness Of the
parents and relatives The Edgertons,
while regretting what they consider
the childish prank, can find nothing
but clever things to say Of young Smith
and with non-reluctance gave over
their daughter into his love and keep
ing.
After receiving the parental blessing
last night, Mr.. and Mrs. Smith repaired
to the Smith residence, determined to
acquaint their friends today with their
marriage. They will be surprised when
they read it In the G o b e. Mr.. Edg-
erton, the brides father, is connected
with a wholesale drug house In St
Paul. Mr.. Smith, the groom. will fin
ish his course at the university.

ACCUSED
F4-.& Time in Ramsey COunty's His
tory That Accused Prisoners Have
-Gsf Been Denied Prompt Trial.

County Attorney Anderson has
nolled the Lucius indictment against
William F. Bickel The Indictment
was among the first Of those returned
against Mr.. Bickel. 1t charged him
with the larceny of $1,94S from Il. ).
I.ucius one of the depOSltors Of the
Minnesota Savings bank. A convlc-
ton of the crime charged in this IN
dictment would have been highly I'M
probable in view of the fact that MI.
Bickel possesses receipt slgneo ny
Lucius acknowledging that he recelVed
the money. 1t was expected that the
county attorney would lay down again.
SO that his action caused little surprise.
None of the indicted bankers will
be tried until next October. This Is
the latest The county attorney
health will not permit him to try AL
bert Scheffer or William F. Bickel
at the June term of the district court.
The county attorney will file an aft
dayit to this effect tomorrow. The
affidavit will be accompanied by the
certificate of his physician declaring
that, in his opinion, Mr.. Anderson's
physical condition is such that he
should not undertake any more work
for the present Upon this showing,
the court feels in duty bound not to
force the county attorneys office to
proceed with the prosecution of the
bank cases The Jail cases, however
with the exception of course, Of that
of Mr.. Bickel, will be tried in their
order beginning tomorrow with the
case of George K. Jackson, charged
with completely in the robbery Of the
German-American bank.
This programme was decided upon by
the judges of the district court at a
meeting held yesterday afternoon, aft
-er Judge Lewis had held conference
with County Attorney Anderson and
been Informed of the latter's physical
condition.
The cases set for trial this week
will be taken up In the following or
der: Monday. George K. Jacks on Tu IS
day, Joseph Carlson, charged with in
decent assault; Wednesday and Thurs
day, Taylor Wilson and Brown, the
three colored men, charged with as,
sault in the second degree. Should the
trial of the Jackson case be begun
tomorrow, 1t is thought that it will oc-
cupy at least three or four days. In
that event the entire week will easily be
consumed by the Jail cases. AS the
June term comes to an end this week
the jury panel must be discharged. II
the term should be extended into July
1t would neceSSitate summoning a new
panel.
