Found All Right.

the st. Anthony Park grocer, was dis
charged in the municipal court yester-
day, upon the withdrawal Of the COM
plant by County Attorney Anderson.
who informed the court that he was
convinced, from an investigation Of the
case that Blandin had acted inno-
Gently in the matter. After Blandin's
arrest, it developed that he had re-
ceived the alleged forged check, which
Mr.. Price cashed for him, from a for
mer employee Of the city railway com
pany. The check was drawn for $37 10
and BIandin claimed to have paid $40
for it. In regard to the draft on his
father at Sioux City, To-, which MIR
Price also cashed and which came
back unhOnored, Mr.. Anderson stated
that he had substantial proof that the
young mans father would have ad-
Vanced the amount Of the draft. had
he been at home at the time of it's re-
ceipt, and that he had been authorized
to draw upon Blandin senior for the
amount involved. It is understood
that Mr.. Price will be reimbursed for
the loss he may have suffered through
the transaction, though this was not
a condition Of Blandin's release, which
Mr.. Anderson stated was upon the
presumption of his innocence, and not
as bill-cOllecting compromise.

The Garment Workers union gave
seWeight social at labor hall last even
ing, the true nature of which was not
diVlllged until the supper table was
reached at midnight. when it deVe!-
oped that each gentleman was to be
levied upon for the refreshment at the
rate of / cent for every three pounds
of avordupois possessed by the Ialr
one whom ne had invited to the festive
board. It is 8 safe assertion that the
ladies Of an evening company were
never more critically scrutinized than
when Miss Knuds0n, president Of the
union, formally announced the sur
prise which had been promised those
who should attend the social. The
scales by which the amount of the
supper checks was to be determined
stood beside the door and afforded no
end of amusement to the guests of the
occasion in adjusting the Indebtedness
Of the gentlemen. The greater portion
Of the evening was spent in dancing.
