LOOKING FOR DAVIS HAD A GOOD TIME
SHERIFF. JUSTUs HAS A WA
RANT FOR HIS AR
REST
cHARGE IS EMBEzzLEMENT
Shortage Amounts to $1,5OO-Aeina
Indemnity Company Thought to
BE Prosecuting-NOt Yet
Arrested.

1t is now definitely known that a war
rant has been issued for the arrest of
Harry r. Davis, formerly district agent
OF the accident branch of the Travellers
Insurance company. This warrant, it is
understood, has been issued lat the in
stance of the AETNA Indemnity company,
of Minneapolis, which furnished bond for
Mr.. Davis as employee of the Trag-
elers Insurance company and alleges
ernbezzlennent in the sum of 81, 800. Mr..
Davis has not yet been apprehended, but
it is believed that he will be under ar
rest before tomorrow morning.
1t was announced just month ago. as
was related in the G l o at that time,
that Mr.. Davis had been removed from
his position with the Travellers company
and that the reason for his removal was
a shortage in his accounts. Frank e.
Ford, state agent of the company when
questioned, admitted the truth of that
report and said that Mr. Davis had been
discharged in the latter part Of June.
He declined to discuss the matter in de-
tail, but said he understood that Mr..
Davis shortage was between SO 200 and
I,O0O and that portion of it was $500
which had been remitted to Mr.. Davis
to pay a claim on a policy and which it
was alleged he had not paid over to the
claimant. The remainder of the discrep-
NCAAHAobONa
collected by Mr.. Davis and not RENTED
to the company. From the Identity of
amount it is supposed that the basis OF
the warrant is the claim of 81, 500, re-
ferred to above, which it was alleged had
been sent to Mr.. Davis and not paid
over by him to the. person to whom 1t
was due.
Mr.. Davis, when seen by the G o e
on the evening of Aug. l, as to the al
legations mentioned declared that they
We're not true and that when the proper
time came he would be able to give a
satisfactory account of his business af-
fairs with the Travellers company.
The Travellers Insurance company be-
ing fully indemnified from loss by the
bond of the Aetna company, has no in
terest in the arrest of Mr.. Davis and it
is understood that the prosecution of the
case will be pushed entirely by the lat
ter company.
At the Dakotah flats, where Mr. Davis
has lived for some time past, it is stated
that he is out of the city, but it is be.
lieved that his whereabouts are known
to the authorities and that he will be
present in court tomorrow morning to
answer to the charge against him.

d1ately drove to Fort Smelling, where ne
was shown around by Gel. Quinton. His
inspection of the barracks was satisfac-
tory and he expressed himself as well
pleased with the condition of the quar-
tiers. He returned to his private car Tor

SAW C. WHITEHORNE
II. l.. SCHWABE, A GROCER, SPOKE
TO HIM EARLY SATURDAY
50 MORNING
POSITIVE AS TO IDENTITY
Claims Missing County Commission
er Was Walking ON Nelson Ave
nue. at O'Clock, Carrying
Small SatcheI.

Unless man who has known George
B. Whitehorne for twenty years is mis-
taken, the missing county commissioner
is not dead, as has been reported, unless
he has made away with himself during
the past forty-eight hours. H. L.
Schwabe, a st. Paul grocer whose place
of business is at 200 West Sixth street,
and who has known Whtethorne for over
twenty years, said positively to tho
G l o b e last night that he had seen the
county commissioner on Nelson avenue
early Saturday morning. He is abso-
lutely certain that Whitehorne is the
man he saw. He says he spoke to him
and that he has known his so long that
he is willing to swear as to his identity.
Il was walking down Nelson avenue
to market early Saturday morning when
1 met him" said Mr. Schwabe, last night.
LAS l passed him he said: Hello
Schwabe, and 1 returned his greeting
and passed on thinking nothing of it.
A few moments later l thought of his
reported death and then stopped to think
if L had not been mistaken. Upon second
thought l knew, knowing the man so
WELL that could not have. been wrong.
l thought then that it was queer that
he should be there, but 1 know it was
he. OF course, 1 have no interest in it
further than that 1 have known him for
some tinaessbut 1 will bank my life that
it was Whitehorne He was walking
rapidly and was carrying a satcheI or
hand bag. 1t was about o'clock in the
morning and l passed him close enough
to touch him
Such is Schwabe's story and he MAIN
tains that he could not have been mis-
taken. IF this is true it would appear
that the bottle found floating in the river
was either an alleged joke or an at
tempt to throw eff the parties who are
concerned in knowing Whitehorne's
whereabouts.

MINNEAPOLIS POLITICIANS WOULD
HANG ON TO DISTRICT At
TORNEYSHIP
ASK VAN SAINTS ASSISTANCE
Believe the Governor Will See Adj
vantage to Himself of Back
q ing Hennepin Coun-
ty Man.

Minneapolis politicians have about
come to the conclusion that the chances
are very much against the appointment
of a Flour City man as United States
district attorney for Minnesota. But what
hurts them more is the mere possibility
of ST. Paul man securing the place If
they felt assured that it would go to
Young, or Haupt, or Gray, they would
at least passvely approve. But so long
as there is the slightest hope of st. Paul
winning the coveted honor Minneapolis
will keep in the field. A determined eff
fort is to be made to unite upon some
representative Hennepin county lawyer
and boom him with all the noise and
energy at command
Some of the leaders figure on securing
the assistance of Gov. Van SAINT They
know that the governor will do anything
in reason to hold his own in Hennepin
county. He sees the necessity of this
more than ever since John Lind became
a citizen of Minneapolis. The bulk of
the severe criticism directed at the gov
ernor has come from Minneapolis He is
naturally DESTROYS Of paeifying the bellig-
erents, if such a thing is possible. So the
Hennepin Republicans figure that they
can present their case to the governor
in a very pointed way, which will have
its influence with him. Then, again, it is
argued, Senator CIapp knows that Hem
over his election. This, together with the
fact that the man he defeated was Rob
ert G. Evans, by whose death the va
cancy now existing was caused, is relied
upon to emphasize to Senator Clapp the
advantage of naming a Minneapolis man.
With the state administration quietly in
sisting on a Minneapolis appointee, Sen
ator Clapp might figure that he had good
grounds for making such an appoint
ment.
In all probability the First district bar
meeting in st. Paul on Tuesday to Sc
lect a candidate to be pushed for the
place will have its hands full, and the
possibilities of harmonious action seem
remote at present. The Austin papers,
which are backing Lafayette French, of
that place, appear to resent the campaign
of AID. Gray. of Fillmore county 1t IS
certain that Gray will stay in the fight
to the death.
Mr.. Childs is not a candidate for the
place, and the talk in his behalf has been
started by outsiders. The candidacy of
his law partner, George B. Edgerton, is
not considered promising. Of all Min
neapolis lawyers. mentioned for the posi-
ton the one who would be most likely
to secure it is Frank NJ Nye If he de-
sires it he can have an almost unan:-.
nous support from his district.
