Mrs, Sarah Paine, Stranded in Denver, Claims
to be From Raleigh.

MI VIM. S. Primroe, Jr., has received
copy OF the Denver Post of January
18th, which contains a story of inter-
est TO Raleigh. The Post gives a double
column picture of Mrs. Sarah Paine and
her three children and says:
After chase of a husband across the
continent, Mrs. Sarah Paine has reached
Derver, penniless, friendless, deserted,
and with both arms full of babies. She
fas carried twin infants and boy scarce
older from Raleigh, N. c., to Denver, and
had scarce reached the city when she
lost every penny she had, as we'll as the
checks for her baggage. She is at the
Park Hotel, near the Union Depot.
a telegram was sent to DR.. Henry
Carson at Raleigh telling him that his
sister and her three babies are stranded
in big city without a trace of the run
away husband.
Guy Paine was a Raleigh commission
merchant Four months ago he sold out
formalities of an adieu. left the State
Ten days ago Coy Low, of Raleigh, met
Paine on the streets of Denver. Low
was on his way to Raleigh from Seattle,
and when he got word to Mrs. Paine he
had seen her husband she started with
her twin babies and little boy for the
West the next day
81 wouldn't live with him again." she
said at the Park house last night, "but
the children are as much his as mine,
and hes got to help support them. AS
soon as l make him do that I'll go back
to my mother. I've always lived with
mother. Folks say that Guy left me
because | wouldn't leave mother and go
off with him to ourselves"
Mrs. Paine reported the loss of hcr
husband to the police, but said nothing
about her pocket book.
Il didn't know it would do any good
to say anything about the money" she
said. "but thought some of them might
see Guy. He told Mr.. Low he was in
business near ArgO."

A resolution was passed directing the
attention of the Legislature to this most
important question, and requesting that

TEN JURYMER CHOSEN.
William Hooper Youpg Takes Nap During
the Proceedings.
(By the Associated Press.)

(BY the Associated IrcSS.)
New York. Feb. 5.-The trial of Will
liam Hooper Young, the grandson Of
brigham Young, accused of the murder
of Mrs. Anna Pulitzer, was continued
today. Three jurors were sworn ycster-
day. Young looked better than yester-
day and walked into court, although he
had to be supported by two deputies. He
sank heavily into a chair and let his
head fall on the table in front of him,
but nevertheless took an interest in the
examination Of the talesmen. Four tales
men were examined and excused for
cause before the session had been in
progress ten minutes. Justice Hcrrick
included among his questions to the tales
men, Have you any prejudice against
any religious sect?"
During a lull in the proceedings Young
said audibly to one OF his counsel, Cant
you get me the Molineux rabbit foot?"
AS the work of filling the jury box
went on Young fell asleep and for fif-
teen minutes slept peacefully and then
reapsed into an appearance of semi
consciousness. From one Of the tales
men, Simon Geiger, news was received
of Joseph Pulitzer husband of the muir
dered woman GeigeI said he heard
that Pulitzer was in Michigan two weeks
ago When recess was called there were
six jurymen in tho box and Judge Her
rick ordered an extra panel Of one hun
Gred talesmen.
During recess Young was under the
observance of medical experts and they
reported that as yet they had found no
evidence of insanity. He ate his lunch
with good appetite and was able to
walk to his seat in the court room.
When the first panel of talesmen had
been exhausted there were ten jurymeh
in the box and Justice Horrick ad-
iourned court until tomorrow, when it
is expected the new panel of 100 tales
mon will be present.

REFUSE TO CUT WIRES
SOUTHWESTERN TELEPHONE
COMPANY MAY, DECLINE TO
CLEAR THE STREETS FOR NOV
ERS.

It is understood that the North
western Telephone company will not
submit to the Powers resolution re-
During it to cut certain overhead
wires, when requested to do SO for the
proper use of the streets across which
they may be strung. 3.
There is a chance for a fight should
the city or any private person attempt
to enforce the provisions of the reso-
luton. What could the city do in case
the telephone company refused to take
down it's wires at the behest of house
movers? There is no penalty pro-
vided in the resolution in case Of a
refusal, nor is authority given house
movers to take down wires in case the
telephone company declines to accede
to their requests, .-. ...-.-,--.~.
It is a Question whether the city
council can by a mere resolution re-
quire the Northwestern Telephone
company or any other concern to re-
move it's wires. A council resolution
is sometimes a powerful instrument,
yet it does not begin to have the force
of an ordinance and it is very likely
that an ordinance will be needed
to attain the ends sought in the
Powers amendment to the resolution,
granting the telephone company per-
mission to erect a half score poles. At
any rate, a fight is promised on this
proposition whenever any one thinks
that the measure in question has any
legal effect.

ASK W0RKHOUSE LODGING
MEN UNABLE TO GET WORK
PLEAD GUILTY TO CHARGES OF,
,VAGRANCY. ss.-..

Several men have pleaded guilty to
charges of vagrancy in the police court
in the past few days. This is unusual
in Minneapolis. Usually the men who
are picked up by the police will fight
a charge of vagrancy, even tho they
know their case is hopeless.
The eplanation given by the men
who pleaded guilty is that they are
out of money and there is no place to
go except to the workhouse. One of
them said this morning that work was
exceedingly scarce and that he had
given his last cent to an employrne
agency to secure a job. He says the
agencies will do nothing without the
money in advance, and many Of the
men fail to reap any profit from their
investment. ... ..t.
The police have been investigating
and say that conditions are as the
men say. They are going to take the
matter up seriously and try to revive
the movement to have all employment
bureau controlled by the city.
Captain Coskran Of the Central sta
ton says that from ten to twenty men
sleep there every night because they
have no money to pay for lodgings
They appear to be men who would do
hard work If they could find it, but
are not acquainted with the city and
can do little for themselves. Never
theless, they are all expense to the
city and the officers think a city en-
ployment bureau would be a paying
proposition.

COLLINS ABOUT
TO RESIGN
EXPECTED TO HAND IN THE DOC.
MENT TOMORROW.
Douglas Takes His Place-Donahower
Likely to Succeed Douglas-Jacob-
son May Go on Board of Control
in Place of Martin.

Judge Collins did not present his
resignation to-day, altho there was an
air of expectancy about the capitol,
and some had predicted that it would
come. 1t is now said that the fateful
document will be handed in to the
governor tomorrow.
Governor Van SAINT will Immediate
ly announce the name of the man
who will fill the vacancy. He says he
has made up his mind and is ready
to make the appointment, but he will
not say whom he will appoint. He
intimates that in this and other APP
pointments he will make, he will pay
not attention to states, but will name
the man he believes the best appoint
ment.
1t is granted a certainty about the
capitol that Attorney General Doug
las is to be named for the bench. The
other probabilities, as they appeared
to-day, were as follows:
For attorney general, w. j. Dona-
hover, st. Paul.
To succeed Donahower, a Mime
apolis attorney. .. #.
James A. Martin to resign as chair
man of the board Of control and man
age Collins campaign.

Cosgrove Of LeSueur for Martins
place. ..-u~.-t. '.
The appearance Of Jacobson at the
capitol to-day gave rise to the story
taht he would be offered the board OF
control vacancy. He was in confer
ence with the governor this morning
and later had a long talk with S. w
Leavitt of the board Of control.
w. c.. Masterman of saltwater and
Simon Clark Of Duluth, two Of the
surveyor generals, were also callers
at the capitol to-day.
