WOLFFR RESIGNS
HIS JOB AT PRISON
n. F. Boucher, of North Dakota
Penitentiary, viii Succeed
Him as Warden May I.


N. f. Boucher has been appointed to
succeed Henry Wolfer, who has re-
signed as warden of the state prison at
Saltwater. The change will take place
May 1.
Mr.. Boucher is now warden of the
North Dakota state prison at Bismarck.
which petition. he has held for nine
years past. He is about fifty years
Of age and prior to his connection with
the North Dakota penitentiary he
practiced law In that state.
1t is in consideration of the interests
of the two institutions involved that
May is fixed as the date for Mr..
VOTERS retirement from the Mime
sofa prison and Mr.. Bouchers depar-
ture from his present position to come
here. By that time the season for
the sale of binder Irvine will
have closed. and the larger credits will
all have been passed upon. Thus, Mr..
Wolfer will be able to close up the
business Of the. pgesent season at the
minnesota prison and Mr.. Boucher at
the North Dakota prison
One potent reasen7 for the selection
of Mr.. Boucher as Mr.. VOTERS sue
cessor is that in his present position
he has for the past four or five years
had@the management of a binder Irvine
plant patterned after the one in the
Minnesota prison. The North Dakota
/ factory is on a smaller scale, but in its
installation Mr.. Boucher made a care
full study of the Saltwater equipment
and thoroughly acquainted himself
with Mr.. VOTERS methods and ideas.
Recommended by WoIfer.
The two wardens have been closely
associated in years past and Mr..
boucher was recommended by Mr..
Wolfer for the Minnesota position.
Mr.. Wolfer, it is learned, notified the
board of control, some time ago of his
desire to retire from the office of war
den of the MINNESOTA prison, but in de-
ference to the wishes of the board his
resignation was withheld until his sue
cessor could be selected. Negotiations
with Mr.. Boucher were closed yester-
day morning, andEMr. VOTERS resigna-
ton bears that date.4
In his letter. Mr.. Wolfer signified a
Willingness to remain until the board
can most CONVENIENTLY release him, and
May 1 was fixed as the date.
Before the appointment of Boucher,
Judge o. B. Gould and J. F. Jacobson,
| of the Minnesota state board of control,
visited the North Dakota prison and
| carefully inspected the Irvine plant
there.
Henry Wolfer has twice been warden
of the Minnesota state prison and his
aggregate term of service in that posi-
ton has been more than ten years. He
was first appointed by Gov. Merriam in
1890 and served until 1899, when he
associated himself with the American
Grass Irvine company, of this city. In
1901 he was reappointed as warden by
Gov. Van SAINT.
Mr.. Wolfer said yesterday that he
was not yet ready to announce what
his Intentions for the future We're as
he had several business propositions
under consideration. He said, however,
that he would remain a resident of
Minnesota.

THERE'S NO EPIDEMIC
ST. Thomas College Has No
Scarlet Fever Outbreak.

The report in an afternoon paper
that an epidemic of scarlet fever had
developed at St. Thomas college is
vigorously denied by President Moyni-
han, in the following communications
Editor Daily Globe
An evening paper gives much promi-
hence to the statement that an epidemic
OF scarlet fever Of an exceedingly malig
nant nature RACES at St. Thomas college;
that nine young men are gravely i'll; that
many students are leaving the college for
their homes. and that the college will
probably be closed next week.
The friends of the college, whom such
statements would naturally fill with
alarm. will be relieved to hear that these
assertions are singly and collectively
false, and that the whole account bears
the resemblance of malicious and SEN
sational lie.
H. Moynihan.
President Of St. Thomas College.

In few moments the door of the
inner room opened and Shearer came
out. A mans head peered from within.
"Come on. boys" said he.
The five applicants shuf1ed through.
Thorpe found himself in the presence
Of man whom he felt to be the natu-
raj leader Of these wild, independent
spirits. He was already little past
middle life, and his form had lost the
elastic vigor Of youth. But his eye
was keen, clear and wrinkled to a GER
tain dry faceuousness, and his figure
was Of that bulk which gives an i'm
preston Of a subtler weight and power
than the merely physical. You felt his
superiority even when he was most
comradely with you. This man Thorpe
was to meet under other conditions,
|. wherein the steel hand would more
plainly clink the metal.
He was now seated in a worn Office
chair before Uttered desk. In the
close air hung the smell Of stale cigars
and the clear fragrance of pine.
"What is it, Dennis?' he asked the
first Of the men.
"1've been out" replied the lumber
man. "Have you got anything for me.
Mr.. Daly?"
The mill owner laughed.
II guess so. Report to Shearer. Did
You vote for the right man, Denny?"
The lumberman grinned sheepishly.

from one another like cabins Of boat
and centered by a huge stove over
which hung slender poles. The latter
were to dry clothes on. Just outside
the hunks ran straight, hard bench.
Thorpe stood at the entrance trying to
accustom his eyes to the dimness.
"Set down." said voice, ION TIL floor
II you want to, but I'd prefer tn dea-

Thorpe obediently took position on
the bench, or deacon seat" His eyes,
more used to the light, could make out
q thin, tall, bent old man, with bare
Uranium, two visible teeth and a three
days stubble Of white beard over his
meager, twisted face.
He caught, perhaps, Th6rpe's surpris-
ed expression.
YOU think tn old mans no good, do
you?" he cackled without the slightest
malice. Looks is deceivin'." He
sprang up swiftly, seized the toe Of his
right foot in his left hand and jumped
his left foot through the loop thus
formed. Then he sat down again and
! laughed at Thorpe's establishment.

At dark the old man lit two lamps,

time before daylight by the
ringing of a noisy bell. He

bled downstairs to the round stove, big
a. a boiler, into which the cripple
dumped huge logs Of wood from .time
to time. After breakfast Thorpe re-
turned to this stove and sat half DOING
for what seemed to him untold ages.
The cold of the northern country was
initiating him.
Men came in, smoked a brief pipe
and went out. After a time he himself
put on his overcoat and ventured out
into the town. 1t seemed to Thorpe Q
