ROBBEDPOOR WIDOW
County Attorney of Beitrami
Accuses Private Detective

Mrs. Katherine Sullivan. poor st.
Paul widow has been victimized by a
Minneapolis private detective agency,
according to County Attorney H. F.
Loud, of BeltraFhi county.
Mr.. Loud files the charge against the
Minneapolis agency in a letter to Gov.
Van SAINT. He declares that Mrs. Sui
livan spent her savings to make trip
to Brainerd, where she was sent to
meet man who claimed to be an op-
orator of the Baxter detective agency,
who would give her information which
would lead to the arrest and convic-
ton of the sn1urderers of her son.
On reaching Brainerd the man from
the detective agency, it is alleged, fail
ed to keep his appointment. but di-
rected her to a man named Boyd, liv-
ing in Beltrami county, who, she was
told, knew something of the circum-
stances of her sons death and Of his
Slayers.
County Attorney Loud, in his letter
to the governor, declares his belief in
the theory that Mrs. Sullivan was de-
frauded of her meager savings. He
says that Mrs. Sullivan had no means
to reach St. Paul on her return from
Beltrami county, but the city authori-
ties Of Brainerd paid her fare home,
and says that Boyd has since written
to him for information as to Sufivan's
disappearance, and that Boyd has not
the slightest evidence of value to Mrs.
Sullivan or to the authorities in the
prosecution of their effort to unrave1
the mystery Of the young mans death.
Gov. Van SAINT yesterday adopted the
suggestion of County Attorney Loud
and issued proclamation, offering a
reward of $3.50 for information leading
to the arrest and conviction of Sulli-
vans murderers.
Sullivan, who was a woodsman, dis
appeared from Black Duck, Beltrami
county, April 8, 1903. and while there
is not positive evidence that he was
murdered #he Ageneral belief in the
county is thafssae was victim of foul

MAY KEEP PENSIONS
Soldiers Home Trustees Likely
to Accept Lind Law

The board Of trustees Of the Mime
sofa Soldiers home will meet at the
home at Minnehaha park next Thurs
day and will probably vote to send an
affirmative reply to the national board
of control of soldiers homes to the in
curry whether Minnesota proposes to
accept the terms Of the so-called Lind
amendment to the sundry civil bill,
which provides for a trdsteeship for
pensions from old soldiers who are in
mates of the home
The Lind amendment places the
Minnesota home on the same footing
with the national home at Washington,
which, instead of taking a part of the
pensions for their support in the home,
places the entire amount of the pension
money in the hands of a treasurer ap-
pointed by the trustees, and by him
is held in trust for the pensioners, to
be paid out in such amounts as the
beard of trustees may direct, but the
entire amount to be paid to the ben
ef1ciary on his discharge from the
home. In case of his death, the accu-
mulated pension money goes to the
helrS, or where there are no heirs, after
three years the amount escheats to the
finances of the home
The Minnesota trustees are said to
be opposed to the amendment to the
sundry civil bill, but inasmuch as a
compliance with the law means a rev.
enue of $4,000 to the Institution from
the national government the board is
expected to answer the action of the
national board OF controls inquiry af-
hrmatively.
1t is said that under the new plan
Commandant Compton will be named
as treasurer of the soldiers fund. and
1T is probable that he VIII appoint reg
ular days when he will disburse small
sums to the inmates of the home for
their Individual expenses. It has been
the policy in the Minnesota home in
the past to permit a pensioner inmate
to retain 81 each month Of his pen
sion allowance the balance to go to
the management Of the home for his
maintenance. The new law absolutely
prohibits this practice, and the cost
of maintaining the home by the state
will of course be materially decreased
in consequence

OLD SOLDIERS ESCAPE
! MEDICAL EXAMINATION
Veterans Seeking Increase in Pension
Must Only Prove Dates

The office of Adj. Gen. E. D. Iibbey
has, in the allowance of four Minnesota
claims by the pension department at
Washington, been given notice that old
soldiers who in their efforts to secure
increases of pensions under the order
of the secretary of the interior, will
not have to submit to a second medi-
cal examination.
The claims just allowed were made
under provisions of the new order ef-
fectiVe upon the terms of the act Of
June q, 1890, which provides that an
old soldier who has reached the age of
sixty-two may secure a pension of Sc
per month; one of sixty-five is enti-
tied to IS; one of sixtY-eight may draw
$40, and a veteran of seventy or over,
may secure an allowance of $12.
The fear of medical examination is
said to have deferred many old soldiers
from applying for increases under the
terms Of the new ruling, but if there is
no discrepancy in the dates contained
in their applications for increase and
In their records in the war department,
they will encounter no difficulty in Sc
curing the liberal allowances. Where
there are discrepancies, as there oc-
casionally are from the faulty memo
ries of the applicants, proof of birth
or an additional medical examination
is required.

age, arrested for assaulting and at
tempting to rob J. A Peterson on
Eighth street, near Jackson, Thursday
evening, had hearing in police court
yesterday, and it being learned that he
had violated his parole from the re-
formatory at st. Cloud, he was ordered

the price of a drink. Upon being re-
fused he grabbed at Petersons vest
pockets. Peterson resisted and was
knocked down by Enright. Peterson
crossed the street, being followed by
Enright, and was knocked down again.
Officer Moran captured Enright after a
lively chase
Enright admitted that he assaulted
Peterson, but contended that ali he was
after was the price of drink" and
that he had no intention Of becoming
a highway robber. Enright admitted
that he had in various ways violated
his parole from the ST. Cloud reforma-
tory, and for some time had paid no
attention to the letters from the state
agent demanding that he report regu-
1arly. The young mans home is in
Minneapolis, from which place he was
committed to the refOrmatory.

Planning Crusade

Rev. w. H. w. Boyle and John NJ.
Fulton are selecting a committee Of
100, the members of which will be in
vited to participate in a crusade
against saloons, gambling and the So
cial evil. At an informal meeting held
in the Central Presbyterian church
yesterday the two ministers were au-
thorized to suggest the members of the
committee.
The saloons will be first attacked,
and DR.. Boyle says that it is likely
that some work will be done Sunday.
The plan is to first accomplish the
closing of all saloons on Sunday, if
such thing is possible, after which
the alleged gambling houses will be
attacked according to the plans now
formed. Following this, an effort will
be made to segregate the social evil,
confining it to one section of the city.
Men will be employed, it is claimed, to
SecuTe evidence upon which a convic-
ton can be obtained.
