RAISED P. @. ORDERS
CHARLES NJ. GUGoN, STUDENT At
HASKELL INDIAN COLLEGE.
UNDER ARREST
HE USED LITTLE INGENUITY
Negotiated Raised Order On Ninne-
apoIis, but Was Caught When
He Tried Same Game at
Lawrence, Kan.

PoStoffice Inspector Kimball has de-
| tected another attempt to defraud the
money order department, and has been
successful in arresting the guilty party,
Charles M. Gugon, a half-breed Indian.
Gugon is a student OF the Haskell Indian
school at Lawrence, Kan, and the
charge against him is raising money or
ders.
Oct. a half-breed Indian made appli-
cation at the postoffice at Detroit City,
Mimi, for a money order for Sc. He
gave the name of John Parker. and Rad
the order made payable to William Par
ker at Minneapolis. A few days later
he went to Minneapolis, and going to the
Heinrich clothing store bought suit of
clothes. an overcoat and a hat. amount
ing in all to $50. In payment he presented
the money order he had purchased at
Detroit City, but which in the mean
time he had raised to $780, The clerk sus-
pecting nothing wrong, gave him $50 in
change for the order. The order, with
number of drafts and checks, was gent
to the bank, and ultimately reached the
postoffice, where it was discovered that
it had been raised from Sc to $50. The
matter was at once reported to the in
Spector at St. Paul.
Nov. Gugon who was in Minneapolis
with the Haskell football team, went to
the poSt0flce and under the name OIL
George A. Morrison bought an order on
Lawrence Kan, payable to Charles M.
Gugon. Nov he appeared at the post
Office in Lawrence with this order which
had been raised to $50. Postmaster Caid-
well at once discovered that it did not
compare with the advice from the Min
neapolis office and communicated with
the inspector at st. Paul.
Inspector H e. Thiele was detailed on
the case, and in two hours he had found
who was the guilty party. The informa-
ton from Lawrence, Kan, of the order
that had been raised on that Office
reached the inspector at the same time
that the information of the Minneapolis
deal did The fact that the man who
passed the order in the clothing store
was an Indian, and that the Haskell
Indians We're in Minneapolis the day that
the order on Lawrence. Kan, was pur-
chased, led Mr. Thiele to rightly conclude
that John Parker, William Parker,
George A. Morrison and Charles M. GU
gon were one and the same person, and
that Gugon was the correct name.
Thiele telegraphed the. postmaster at
Lawrence to watch Gugon so that he
could not escape until a warrant for his
arrest could be issued. He then went to
Commissioner Spencer and secured n
warrant The specifications and charges
We're certified to Lawrence, and Gugon
was placed under arrest 1t is probable
that. he will be brought to ST. Paul for
a hearing in few days.

BLEW OUT GAS IN HOTEL ROOM
Didn't Knoss How Gas Jet worked

Z. II. Swift, a. cattle man from ToWR-
send, Mont is at the Sherman hotel,
slowly recovering from the effects of be-
ing nearly sasphy xiated in his room at
the hotel early Sunday morning. As near
as could be- ascertained last night, Swift
HAD been to Chicago with G load of cat
tie, and was on his way home. He ar
rived in st. Paul Saturday night and ap-
peared to be in the best of spirits. He
sat UP smoking and talking to the night
clerk until nearly 8 o'clock Sunday morn
ing, when a bell boy showed him to his
room and asked him if ne knew how to
turn out the gas. 1t IS understood that
Mr.. Swift told, the boy he did net know
how to do it. and the lad showed him.
This was the last seen of Swift until
about Z. O'Clock Sunday morning when
the smell of gas attracted the attention
of some OF the employees to the room, and
the door was broken open. Swift lay on
the bed unconscious, AMI at first it
was thought he was dead. DIR. J. T.
Baker was called, and by hard work
succeeded in saving Mr.. Swift.s life.
He is about fifty-fve years old and is
Still in comatose condition. Dr. Baker
stated last night that he would be able
to be out in a few days.
The occurrence was purely accidental.

WILL SAVE CITY MONEY
NEW STONE CRUSHING PLANT Sc
CURED TO REDUCE COST
City Will Probably own 1t by
Spring - CIaussen VIII Not
Use 1t Until Paid
For.


Two months ago the city council placed
a contract for the purchase of stone
crushing plant, and while the outfit has
been received the city. is practically
barred from using it from the fact that
there is no. money to pay for It.
The outfit, an imposing looking piece
of machinery. now reposes in the ORR
ent street yards, and while the contractor
who sold the machinery to the city is
willing to allow it to be used, City En-
gineer Claussen prefers to wait until the
purchase is sanctioned by the comptroller
and the money is. on hand to pay for it.
In reality, the deal is not closed, and its
use now, Mr.. Claussen fears, might OBJ
ligate the city .f.. ..,s.ss
Next spring should see the outfit in use
and furnishing crushed stone for streets
that are badly in need of such material.
just now from $150 to 50 a cubic yard is
paid for crushed rock, which cost Mr..
Claussen hopes to see reduced to so cents.
The crusher, which will have cost the
city nearly $1,000 when fully paid for, is
portable and can be transferred direct to
the quarry instead of hauling the ma
terial to it. This will probably necessi-
tate the purchase of quarry or the
opening of one on lots now owned by the
city on the West side.

IN INTEREST OF MINORS
SACRED THIRST sOCIETY,s WAR ON
UNsCRUPULOUS SALOONKEEPERS.

I'VE have no quarrel with saloonkeep-
ers who keep within the provisions of the
law regarding selling liquor to minors, ="
said Miss Mary Cramsie, president of the
Sacred Thirst society, in paper read
before that body last night, "but we
say to those who make a. practice of sell
ing to boys under age, why don't You
take some your own Size?''
Is the discussion which followed the
reading of the paper it appeared that
while absolutely no doubt existed in the
minds of those present that many saloon
keepers in st. Paul sold liquor to all who
had the price. it was much easier to
make the charge than to prove it, To
secure conviction it is necessary to pro-
duce absolute proof of sale to a minor.
and this the women of the society canno.
very well set themselves to accomplish.
by witnessing instances of violation of
the law.
The agitation will. however be kept
UP and the society hopes by eniisting the
sympathy of the public to accomplish
it's end Already they have secured the
cooperation of Chief O'Connor, and at
his orders the downtown saloons are be-
ing closely watched. The outlying por
lions of the city are not so easy to cover,
and it is here that most of the attractions
OF the law are committed.
