DOING AB0Y'S WORK
Fifteen-Year-Old Lulu Brunsburg
Proves a Success as a Tel

A Western Union Experiment Which

DE best boy in de bunch" is No. Al
OF the N. D. T. messengers, employed here
by the National District Telegraph and
the Western Union. And No. Al is Lulu
Brunsburg, aged Is. The real boys in
the N. D. T. not only admit their sis
ters' superiority, but they have nick
named her Lulu the Lulu And the
business men to whom the boy in short
smiles, cannot give too many peaches
and grapes and bananas to their special
favorite, their Little Lady"
Because Lulu Is more than the only girl
messenger in the local telegraph service.
She is the best messenger ever employed
in the commission district says the branch
manager at the office on First avenue N
near Sixth street.
Lulu's elevation to equal rights, as Miss
Anthony will be pleased to learn, took
place less than a month ago, when John
Webster, manager of the N. D. T. mes
sengers, began losing many Of his pro-
fessionals through the opening of the
school year. Such boys as were under 1e
were obliged to turn from bicycles to
books, and the telegraph service suffered.

Our other little girl has done very we'll

messages only to the commission houses

POSED AS ALAB0RER
Clark, the Alleged Porch Climber,
!, Was Apparently a Hard Work
ing Colored Man.
He and His Pal Said to Have
Worked Minneapolis and
Duluth. ...H

Charles Clark, colored, under arrest al
Kansas City, Mo-, appears to be much
wanted man. and his arrest Is probably
far more important than Superintendent
OF Police e. F. Waitet is willing to admit
Clark Is thought to be a member Of a gang
of colored thieves that have operated ex-
tensively over the northwest, particularly
In Minneapolis and Duluth. 1t is practi
cally certain that they are the men who
did the porch climbing work in Minneap-
oils early in the month.
| Clark came to Minneapolis about Aug
l, with two other colored men, named
Adams and Steele. The three walked
into the cigar store of Mrs. B. Marquis,
1913 Washington avenue N, one day early
in September and robbed the till of $685.
Citizens chased the men several blocks
and Adams was arrested. He was SEN
fenced to Saltwater for three years
Clark and Steele escaped. Adams agreed
to turn states evidence, but his willing
ness to identify any colored man brought
into the station, convinced the officers
that they could not rely upon his state
mentS and the effort to locate the other
two men was abandoned They did not
leave the city, but remained in hiding
here for several weeks and then, 1t Is
said, began to rob residences on Park
avenue and Lowry hill.
All this time Clark was apparently fol-
lowing the life of a laboring man and was
living on Washington avenue S. He met
detectives and officers every day, but
no one suspected him, and as long as he
remained in the city he was never under
suspicion.
Several days ago Clark received a tip
that it would be better for him to leave.
and accordingly he started for Kansas
City last Tuesday. Meantime the police
were told that Clark was the porch
climber and a telegram preceded him to
the Missouri city. He found officers
awaiting him there.
1t Is said that Clark and his pals
operated In Duluth and West Superior
and that after making a raid here they
would go north and turn the loot into
cash. While there they would make a
raid or two and then return to Mime
apolis to dispose Of the stolen goods. This
explains the pawn tickets found in
Clarks possession. The property pawne6
had not been stolen here, and thus the
police could not identify it.
While Clark Is wanted in other cities
it is known that the chief of police OF
Kansas City has promised to give Min.
neapolis the first chance at him, and he
will be brought here early next week. In
the meantime the officers will try to To-

they would have disposed Of the dog yet

aid. So
f. The little animal which was plainly
OF better blood than the average, and
very intelligent, appeared several weeks
ago and struck up close friendship with
one of the children. The head of the
house would have advertised a dog found
but for the annoyance it would have
caused at his home and the fact that he
did not. appreciate the dogs unusual
value: Consequently, he decided to watch
for "ads' of dogs lost. Seeing none that
called for dog of the description, and
not desiring to keep her, he began a
series Of efforts to give Gyp away. But
Gyp was not SO easily disposed of. The
first experiment was, made on the milk
man. He was not averse to taking her,
but she would not go; not a bit Of it.
She had no taste for life on dairy farm.
Then the head of the house thought he
would bring her down town to a friend
who had expressed desire to own a
good cocker spaniel. He started off with
her and on the way met a small boy who
cast wistful eyes at the pretty, little an;
NAL. This appealed to Gyp's temporary
guardian, who did not realize that he
really had a canine princess in his charge.
and he offered the boy the dog. The boy
was willing, and started off with his new
pet. But by the time the head Of the
family reached his office there was a
phone message announcing that Gyp was
back again. So it went. Doggie would
not be given away; she was apparently
we'll satisfied with her new home and the
jolly companionship of the children.
But one day members of the family Of
H. c. Akeley, driving. past, recognized
Gyp as their much-lamented pet, who
had been given up for lost. They were
much delighted, for sGyp was a great ia
vorite with them, and Of high degree,
being rated at $1,000, and Gyp was equal
ly delighted, for while her new home had
been a most pleasant one, she had not for

doubtless been the cause of her scorn-
