Another victim Of Second ward
"steerer" is reported, and q man and
woman. both colored, are in jail await
ing an investigation by the grand jury
of the Criminal Court.
The victim is H. w. Anderson, claim
ing to be a veterinary surgeon and
hailing from Ohio. Monday night he
related his tale Of woe to Justice w. w.
Rogers, but he was In such state of
intoxication that the Justice locked
him up until yesterday morning, when
he swore out warrants for the parties
implicated.
Anderson claims to have sold a horse
for 500, after which he says he wanted
to buy a suit Of clothes. He met
Sampel Miller, colored man. who
never killed himself by his industry.
and Miller offered to take him to a
store where he could buy very cheap
~. The pair drlfted into Kolonsky's s,
on Market Square, where Anderson
bought new toys.
Another difficulty now confronted
him. He had to have place to change
his wearing apparel. Miller was man
of infinite resources. He took Ander-
son to ."'Bucky" Jones place, and the
two entered a drinking room. While
Anderson was disrobing the inevitable
woman in the case" appeared. She
was muiatto with the euphonous
name of Lula. Lee.
Lula took a chair in the drinking
room. Then "Patch-eye George" Rob-
fnson, who serves the booze in this de-
partment, notified Anderson that peo-
pie who occupied the rooms had to
spend. There were several rounds of
straight whiskys. Later. when Ander-
son dug down into the pocket of his
old trousers, he found that his roll of
1914 and 80 cents in change, had mys-
teriously disappeared.
The evidence in the preliminary
hearing before Justice Rogers yester-
day afternoon, showed that another
colored woman, Clara Fields, was en-
stering the hallway after the touch had
been accomplished, and saw Miller
coming down the steps with $40 bill
in his hands, from which she conclud-
ed there had been "doins" and a quar-
rel over the division of the spoils.
Officer Walker made the arrests. He
found Miller in a drunken sleep ON the
floor of the room occupied by Lula
Lee. He had a $40 bill, half of an
other bill, 50 in paper and $3.50 in
silver. AS Miller had no busineSs hav-
ing money, this is also strong proof
against him. Lula Lee and Miller
were each committed to Jail in default
of $500 for their appearance before the
grand jury.

a popular success at the Academy of

Shore Acres.
"Shore Acres" continues to draw like
a magnet, and it will doubtless be a
winner from a box Office standpoint
for many more years. 1t has been pro-
duced often in Wheeling, but yester-
day afternoon the standing room
only" sign was hung out, while last
night few seats were unoccupied. While
the production yesterday was very sat
isfactory the play has been presented
here with stronger cast. Marion
Cullen is a very capable actress, but
the part Of sIIelen" is entirely I'M
suited to her. Those who compare the
work of Mr.. Craig and Mr.. Boyd as
Uncle Nat" prefer the latter, although
Mr.. Craig's work is very artistic. Shore
Acres" charms because of its natural
ness and because the stage manager
gives that careful attention to every
detail, no matter how trifing. that
makes 1t finished production.

Over the Fence.
"The man who has no funny bone
must keep away from here" is the
motto adopted by Mr.. Gus Hill in
reference to his latest farce comedy
Offering, "Over the Fence" In pre-
senting this piece Mr.. Hill, with his
customary liberality, has spared no
expense in making it most elaborate
and seductive stage representation, and
he frankly asserts: ut Is the best at
traction have ever offered the Ameri-
can public" which is saying great
deal, for in all justice, this manager
has always kept faith with the public.
and has for years past given them not
alone what he has promised but great
deal more besides. He is to-day prob
ably the most finished and careful bur-
lesque manager in the theatrical bust
ness, and has striven to always give
to the public clean, wholesome per-
Torrance; free from vulgarity or sug-
gestiveness. In placing over the
Fence" before the American people he
has literally supplied it with every at
tribute that is required to make farce
comedy popular; new scenery, elab-
crate printing, magnificent costuming
and a great cast. At the Grand, COM

Common Law Marriage.

The Fargo Sunday Argus has the fol-
lowing to say, that may interest Pioneer
readers:
While the estate of ~millionaires have
often been tied up by suits brought by
persons who claim to have contracted a
common law marriage with the man of
means, such a case has never been tried
in any court of North Dakota.
On that account the divorce case of
VIM. H. Morgan against Emma Dean
Morgan, which will be tried at the next
term OF the district court. is attracting
moro than the usual amount of atten-
ton. The question of common law mar
rage is to form a considerable part of
the case. The story is an interesting
| one.
Back in 1886, along in the month of
October, Mr.. Morgan, who lived in
North Dakota, made an agreement with
a young woman that they should be-
come man and vile. The matter was
discussed between them and finally
agreed to. Without the formality of a
legal marriage ceremony or any of the
adjuncts that is supposed to be required
in the contraction Of a marriage, they
began life matrimonial. Ia due time
they acquired some property at Hope, in
Steele county, a part of it being a hotel.
Mr.. Morgan was always introduced as
the husband and the woman as Mrs.
Morgan, and beyond a very few there
were non who knew but what Mr.. and
Mrs. Morgan had been married in due
and legal form. Hard times resulted in
the m~ortgaging Of a part of the proper
ty, and the mortgage as given by Will
liam Morgan and Emma Morgan, his
wife. When tho property was again
released, Mr.. Morgan decided it to his
wife. Apparently things were Of the
pleasantest between the two until the
appearance at Hope Of a man named
James Daley, who lived in Minneapolis.
Mrs. Morgan took kindly to the
advances made by Daley and in October
1899, they were married.
Shortly after that time Mrs. Daley
sold the property at Hope, the hotel
which had been decided to her by Mr..
Morgan.
Then the trouble began. The man
who bought the hotel, at a very low
price, it is said, wanted possession, and
the matter was litigated. However, Mr..
Morgan still has control of the property,
and it is rented by another party.
The advice Of lawyers was sought,
and at the next term OF court the d.
vorce action brought by Mr.. Morgan
against his former wife will come up for
a hearing. Mr.. Morgan claims that the
common law marriage which he and his
former spouse entered into was legal
and binding, and that h, has Il share
coming in the property.
On the other hand, Mrs. Daley. who
was Mrs. Morgan claims that she never
married Morgan and that he has nc
claim whatever upon her. She denies
the charge of adultery brought in the
action for a divorce on the part of Mr.
Morgan.
There are many interesting features
of the case, and its trial promises tc
attract a great deal of attention.
