FLETCHER ARRESTED.
Result of Referee Having Been Appointed
at he Last Term of Court.

At the last term of court in Red
wood county referee was appoint
ed in the case of G. ArveSon VS..
Chas. W. Fletcher, the latter being
at the time the action commenced, a
jeweler at Sanborn. Hoidale &
Somsen of New Ulm appeared for
Arveson claiming that the suit was
brought to secure judgment for
money alleged to be salary due an
employee, but which the employer
denied. Clague & Emerson ap-
peared for Fletcher and opposed
the motion for a referee, but which
motion was granted.
AS result of the appointment
the referee claims that there is a
shortage of from between 5000 and
81 200 in Mr.. Arveson s accounts,
and an arrest has followed, of which
the New Ulm Review gives the fol-
lowing account:
AS a climax to his rather sensa-
tional career in Sleepy Eye, Chas.
w. Fletcher was arrested in Mime
apolis and now occupies a cell in
the Brown county Jail. The cap
ture was made by Sheriff William J.
julius, who went to the Flour City
Sunday night armed with warrant
for Fletcher's apprehension. He
had no difficulty in locating his man,
finding him at the Office of his faith
err, G. B. Fletcher, who is the sec
rotary of the Twin City Storehouse
Co., 616-18 First street north.
"When confronted by the officer
Fletcher submitted quietly to ar
rest and accompanied Sheriff julius
peaceably. He was brought to New
Ulm Monday evening
FLETCHER was arrested on a
charge of larceny, he being accused
of appropriating $50 during the
month of May, 1902, from his former
employer, Christ Arveson of Sleepy
Eye. This is but one of long SER
les of embezzlement charges which
may be brought against him, how
ever, as Mr.. Arveson alleges that
his books show shortage of about
$500 and expresses the belief that
Fletcher obtained as much as 81 200.
Gin many ways Fletcher's ex-
perience is of character calculat-
ed to excite compassion. He was a
member of the Thirteenth Minnesota
and a veteran of the campaign in
the Philippines. After the muster
out of his regiment Fletcher went
to work with threshing crew and
eventually landed in Sleepy Eye.
AS he was an excellent musician a
lodge in that place desired him to
remain in that town and their mem
bers induced Mr.. Arveson to give
him work. He was not a practical
jeweler and was almost penniless,
but Arveson gave him employment,
and in return for his services al
lowed him his board and nothing
more.
.sWithin three months after COM
mencing to learn the trade, it is
said, he was left in complete charge
of the store and practically conduct
ed the business. Arveson was then
and for some time thereafter devot-
ing but little attention to his own
affairs and depending largely upon
Fletcher. The latter soon attained
considerable social prominence, be-

SAID GOODBYE.
Creditors at the Depot Given the Laugh
by Lakeyiew Hotel Proprietor.

Standing on the rear of the North
western passenger coach last Thurs
day evening L, e. Aldrich, unit
ten days ago, proprietor of the Lake
view Hotel, waved a farewell to g
number of creditors who had gone
down to the train to prevent his
departure.
1t was about as neat a move on
the part of an intending fraudulent
debtor that has been made for man
a day. Mr. Aldrich has always
been nice with his creditors, but on
the morning of that day when he
said Eau revoir,' he called on all OF
his creditors and ascertained the
amount of his debit, saying that he
would call in few minutes, or dur
ing the afternoon, and settle.
Along about noon Mr.. Aldrich
commenced moving out his personal
effects, such as household furniture.
etc., from the hotel, with the view
of having them taken to the North
western depot for shipment. All
of these effects were exempt from
levy, but local grocery house
one of the creditors-suspecting
that Mr.. Aldrich expected to sneak
the town, quietly sued out a writ of
attachment, and before the house
hold effects were placed in the car,
Sheriff Schueller had an attachment
on them.
Shortly after four o'clock Mr.. AL
drich Was seen walking toward the
Northwestern depot. He was ask
ed by one of his creditors when he
expected to leave, and cody an
swered ION the next train" Before
that train pulled out there were a
number of creditors at the depot,
Offering Mr.. Aldrich all kinds of in
ducements if he would only tarry a
while, but Mr.. Aldrich sang, $50,
goodbye, for I must leave you now"
with very high soprano pitch on
the must. He jumped on to the
passenger coach, said Eau revoir, !"
and as the train pulled out he
smiled a farewell that would have
done credit to man departing for
nobler cause.
The highest creditor is a local
fuel dealer, who has claim against
Mr.. Aldrich for $3.50. The next
highest creditor is a groceryman,
who has a claim for nearly 800.
Other grocery dealers and business
men have claims which make the
aggregate total over $780,
Mr.. Aldrich was paid over 81, 700
in cash for his furniture and other
effects when be quit the hotel bus
mess. He kept his accounts, other
wise, pretty generally cleaned up,
and he must have had money when
he left on the North western train.
He expects to go to the Pacific
coast, where he has in view the
leasing or renting of a hotel proper
ty. Mrs. Aldrich s physical condi-
ton is fraiI, and Mr.. Aldrich thinks
that Pacific coast climate will not
only be beneficial to the health of
his wife, and in view Of his recent
successful financial breakdow in
this city, that it will also have an
ozone tendency on his credit health.
Mr.. Aldrich certainly impressed
every person here as being strictly
honest, and intending to pay all
bills, when presented, and hence
his ability to pile up such large
accounts at the grocery stores and

Jackson Clarion Ledger of today
says: Sheriff L. E. Magee, of Simp-
son county, who was in the city last
night, received a report from Braxton
of shooting affair which took place
there between D. O. McInnis, candi-
date for sheriff, and a man named
Frank Baugh. According to the re-
port received by Sheriff Magee, Baugh
accused McInnis of stealing a horse,
and quarrel ensued which was inter.
rupted by bystanders. Shortly after
wards when McInnis was boarding
train Baugh appeared at the depot
with shotgun and attempted to shoot
Mclnnls through car window. Again
bystanders interferred and in the me-
lee the weapon was discharged but no
one was injured.

From returns received up to the
hour of going to press the indica-
tions are that Major Vadaman's ma
1oritv will be at least ten thousand.
There are several more coun.
ties yet to hear from but they cannot
change the situation very much. A
special from Jackson to the Vicksburg
American says "Major James K. Var
daman will on January 1, succeed to
the office of governor of Mississippi.
Returns show no material change. He
has developed strength in the most
unexpected quarters, knocking all es-
Inmates skyhigh. Here at the capital

ues are known to be the secret of his
q astonishing victory. Along with the
returns come reports of whole droves
OF negroes wearing fCritz'' buttons
being marshalled about the polling
places in southern counties where
race prejudice is strong, and their
buttons drove many unsuspecting
Critz men to vote for Vardaman.
Speaking of the election editorially,
the American says: Returns from
sixty counties up to noon today give
Maj. Vardaman majority of little
less than 10000, and he will probably
defeat Judge Critz for governor by six
or seven thousand. There are fifteen
counties yet to hear from and while
it is expected they will cut down the

majority of Major Vardaman no
change will be made in the general
| result
''The one issue of the negro which
Major VaIdaman introduced into the
campaign did the work. In this he
was given the greatest possible aid by
the administration at Washington and
by a succession of tragedies and sensa-
tional occurrences that kept the race
issue alive and fresh in the minds of
the people. We may deny that there
is any call for a race question, but
whether there is or not in Mississippi
there has been one made and it was
the most successful issue that could
have been sprung by candidate for
public Office.
There was feeling in the minds
OF thousands of good people who had
no confidence in the school fund di-
vision proposition of Major Varda-
man. that if he was defeated it would
give the negroes cause to hope for re-
cognition. This was not trude, but
the condition was in public mind, and
it was this condition that actually ell
ected the Lef1ore candidate.
''We will not indulge the idea that
the scandalous stories current during
the last few weeks of the campaign
injured the strength of the candidates.

Of the two distinguished candidates
and with their friends, but let Us hope
that with the end of the campaign
this evil will blow over.
There is one lesson to be drawn
from the result: President Roosevelt
has done.the country great injury in
forcing his negro equality ideas upon
the people of the south. The result
OF the primary yesterday, while not
an endorsement of the school propo-
sition of Major Vardaman, is in a
sense censure upon the President and
upon all who would pass lightly upon
his inconceivable breech of a white
mans manners. Tt is unmistakable
notice to the people of the north that
the south stands today where it al
ways unmovable and unyield-
ing in her determination to give to
the negro bis rights as negro--but
nothing more.
''We have never agreed and do not
now that the issue was here for us to
pass upon, but the election may be
taken as an indication of what will
happen should the issue ever actually
arise.

ANECDOTES FROM ANYWHERE.

The poet, Walt Whitman, was, as is
we'll known, dependent during most of
his life upon the kindness of friends
and admirers for support, making little
or nothing on his writings. A few years
before his death one of these friends
called upon him in his little house in
Camden, a suburb town Of Philadelphia.

and conductors, and find out which of
them have no overcoats and guess at
their size and notify Childs, and then
he sends the o%vercoats. It's not hard
work" said the poet. "And then, you
know, it helps Childs along"
In the mail of Representative Cow

postal caru from a married woman in
jackson county with this inquiry:
Please inform me whether there is
a law allowing a prize to a lady that
