OFFERED TO RETURN CASH
George Brandon, Accused by Min
neapolis Woman of Desertion -
and Theft. s...-.

George Brandon, a furniture dealer of
Chicago, has been arrested in that city
at the instigation of Miss Theresa Reic-
hart Ii of Minneapolis. Miss Reichart
charges that Brandon, under the name
of George Allen, was married to her May
IA, 1902, in Minneapolis, and, after living
with her one day, disappeared with $3.50
of her money. The Chicago police believe
that Brandon is wanted in many parts Of
the country on charges of bigamy and of
swindling~ women. It is charged that un-
der the name Of Edward Priestly he
married Miss Minnie Evans Of Kenosha,
Wis, and deserted her also after secur-
ing a loan Of $3.50: al
When Brandon was confronted with
Miss Reichart in the office of Lieutenant
Rohan of the Chicago police force, he
denied her acqua intance at first, but later
admitted that he knew the woman, and
promised to return her money if she would
refrain from prosecuting him.
The Chicago police believe that other
women who have been duped by Brandon
will be heard from soon. Brandon is As
years old and good looking. -
The marriage license records in the
office of Clerk of District Court Dickey
show that Theresa Reichart and George
Allen were married by Judge Elliott May
IA, 1902. The address Of neither person is
given on the records, and the, name OF
Theresa Reichart does not appear in the
directory. ~n s..-z-.--.-------.

Minneapolis Real Estate Board, will be
ready for distribution about April Is. The
issue will be about 300 copies. Since the
original order was given, at least twenty
five have made requests for copies.
The work has seemed almost intermina-
BILE. After all the Corrections and addi-
tions had been made by j.: E. Egan, the
boards civil engineer, the proofs had to
be returned and checked over until every
error was eliminated. : Nearly all these
pages have been returned to the publish
ers, and when the tinting Of the addt-
tions has been made and sent to Min
neapolis for correction, the printers in
Philadelphia will proceed to bind and for
ward the order. :
This new work of the real estate board,
although expensive, will be invaluable to
real estate agents and brokers. 1T Is the
first thoroughly up TOT date book which has
been accessible for use in many years.
The ALIASES now in use are kept up. in
the best possible manner by correcting
the old pages, but changes have been SO
rapid and numerous in late years that
the books look like patchwork.
The combined experience of the real
estate men has gone to correct errors
found here and there in old books and

There will be no reduction in the as
sessments Of down town merchants.

crease over the 1900 assessment has been
politely but firmly turned down by the
tax committee of the board of county
commissioners. the decision being an
nounced this morning.
William Regain, w. L. Harris and Robert
Christensen appeared before the board
this morning to urge the building. OF a
bridge across the Minnesota river near
Hamilton. about twelve miles from this
city. They stated that their; interest was
simply that of business men and that the
construction of this bridge would mean
thousands of dollars annually to this city.
The trade Of the fine farming district
east of the Minnesota river would then
be encouraged to- come in this direction.
The logis of the petitioners contention
was acknowledged by the commissioners
but they see no way to build at present
without a bond issue, which is impracti-
