Charles Peterson of st. Cloud, Mimi.
who has been engaged all day in the
sorrowful task Of acquainting himself
with the details Of the death Of his son,
George F. Peterson, in the ruined
Crocker hotel, has been unable to learn
why the young man should have lived
in Minneapolis under the name of James
Hamilton and have remained SO near his
parents for at least five months without
communica ting with them.
twin cities Since last july is certain,
the father says, from the fact that in
that month Judge Collins, on a visit
to his old home in St. Cloud, told the
elder Peterson that he had met
"George' on the street in st. Paul
and that che was looking well. -
The son had not seen his parents since
the spring Of 1900, and had not written
to them since early last winter. The
father is unwilling to believe that he
had done anything, wrong to cause him
to seek to conceal his identity under
the assumed name. He thinks, rather,
that perhaps he was tired Of being
"ioshed0 about being a ,Swede. Mr..
Peterson says that in ST.. Cloud both
he and his son were often jeered at.
He, the father, didn It mind it, he said,
but George took it much to heart and
probably did not want his associates
here to know what his right name was
From Mr.. Peterson's story, as told to
The Journal, the young man was
dered nearly around the world. In
1898 he enlisted in Company M, Thir
teenth Minnesota Volunteers, and saw
service in the Philippines. He re
turned with his regiment and visited hi:
home in St. Cloud until the following
: spring, when he left for good.
!, The ex-soldier secured work on :
railroad in Iowa and while there Eel
in with English officers who were buy
inc up mules to be used in. the war il
South Africa. Peterson enlisted in thi
!. work and shipped to the seat of wa
l in charge Of a load Of mules. He re
}. turned, went to Kansas City, and the
to Chicago, where he worked for tim
as fireman on the Grand Trunk railway
He was in the windy city at the tim
cab, and little later participated i
the hackmen's strike. The letter tel
inc of these things was the last tn
parents ever received from him.
Since he came to the twin cities, YET
terday morning, Mr.. Peterson ha
learned that when his son left Chicag
he came to st; Paul and visited Tor
short time with his brother, James Al
drew Peterson, painter and pape1
hanger. While there he received se'
eral letters from Chicago, the fathe

WATERMAN BURSTS,

Eighth and Central cars must keep
moving today if the traffic on that line
is to be maintained at all. A slight
delay in the cars aided by a broken
water main at Fifth avenue S and
Sixth street, and the low temperature,
might tie up the line completely.
The leak was reported early yester-
day morning, but the water department
was unable to find the. exact point OF
the break They quit work at dark last
evening, and this morning found the
whole Street flooded and the cutters
quarter Of block .the tracks are under
two or more inches Of, water and only
the regular passing of the cars prevents
it from freezing. The water is still
