Astonishing Sequel of Thief
River Falls Election.

Globe Special Washington Service,
1417 G Street.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 23.-Ira
C. Richardson was today recommended
for reappointment as postmaster at
Thief River Falls by Representative
Steenerson. There is doubt in the minds
of the postoffice department whether
he is eligible. He was elected mayor
of Thief River Falls, but resigned to
take the postmaster job. In considera-
ton of the fact that the latter pays as
much salary in a month as the mayor
atty does in year.
But Mr. Kratka, who was his may
orally opponent and defeated by four
votes, has appealed the contested elec-
ton to the supreme court to restrain
his antagonist from resigning the fruits
of his mayoralty victory. Kratka is
himself candidate for the postofice.
The situation at Thief River Falls
was complicated by a too late discovery
by both candidates that they could not
hold the jobs of postmaster and mayor
at the same time as both had planned
to do. Steenerson had promised to
recommend for postmaster the most
popular man as indicated by the votes
cast in the mayoralty contest.

DES MONIES, Iowa, Jan. 29.-Mov-
ing day was an eventful and a sad one
for one family in Des Moines. While
Jack Wilson was working In the mines
his wife moved. He kept repeating
the new house number to himself till
his pick stuck in some slate and he
swore Then he forgot the number
and at night was unable to locate his
wife.
He applied to the police for assist
ance. Next day they searched in vain,
and, brokenhearted, he announced he
believed his wife had deserted him and
left the city Mrs. Wilson has appear
ed at the police station with the story
that her husband has left her without
food or means, and she has no fuel
with which to keep warm. Now the
police are unable to locate him, and
the woman was recommended to go to
the poorhouse. Here again she was
disappointed, for the commissioners
told her she was not county charge
as she has husband.
A desperate effort is being made by
city and humane officers to get the
husband and wife to find each other.

COL. MEL YIN GRIGSBY IS
CHARGED WITH BRIBERY
South Dakotan Who Offciates as United States Dis.
tct Attorney at Nome Is Accused of Having Accepted
"Fee" of 10000 From the Pioneer Mining Company
to Refrain from Prosecution.

lowing Monday, as shown by this evil
dence, Grigsby appeared in the federal
court in his official capacity In con-
nection with the Pioneer Mining COM
pany's case, involving the title OF
claim in Glacier creek A few days
later, and before the judgment in this
case was handed down, the $4,000
retainer was paid over to Grigsby,
either by Linderberg or by the Pioneer
Mining company. The department OF
Justice doesn't care very much whether
the money came from the individual
or from the company; the important
point is the object of the payment. 1t
appears in the testimony, and Is ad-
mitted by Grigsby, that the $4,000
consisted of Sc, 1000 in cash and $4,000 in
shares of the Pioneer Mining company.
The department cannot understand
why the mining company should have
paid Grigsby $4,000 for legitimate le-
gal services when it is shown by all the
testimony and records in the case that
William H. Metson had for some time
been the sole attorney of the company,
that he was still acting in that capacity
and that the company did not have an
unusual amount Of litigation In pros
pect 1t is also regarded as peculiar
that Grigsby should be able so prompt
ly to secure SO valuable a client and
to receive the substantial fee Of $10,-
600 in advance.
Col. Grigsby narrowly escaped dis
missal last year on account of insub-
ordination. He left Alaska for the win
ter, despite the specific orders of the
attorney general. Aside from the dis
obedience, no charges against the dis
trict attorney were seriously consid-
cred by the department last year. The
present charges, however, are chiefly
substantiated by the evidence obtained
by the departments own agents in
Alaska during the summer of 1903.
District Attorney Grigsby is now in
Washington.
Col Grigsby could not be found to-
night, but in general his position may
be stated as follows:
In defending himself against the
charges, he denies that he has conducted
himself in any improper way. He says
! that he followed the custom of many
district attorneys by engaging in the
practice of law when his official duties
did not prevent. He resents the alle-
cation that he received virtually bribe
from the Pioneer Mining company and
declares that all the fees he received
were legitimate: walter e. Clark.

Globe Special Washington Service,

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 23.-The
department of justice has nearly con-
cluded it's investigation of the charges
against Col Melvin Grigsby, of Soutf'
Dakota the United States district at
torney at Nome, and Attorney General
Knox will probably take conclusive ac-
ton in the case at an early day.
1t appeared today for the first time
what the real nature of the charges is
Sworn statements have been filed with
the attorney general and these are
backed by the reports of two special
agents of the department sent to Nome
last summer, saying that Grigsby re-
ceived $4,000 from the Pioneer Mining
company as the price of refrainine
from prosecuting the company Grigs-
by has employed Thurston & Ballinger
lawyers of this city, to present his de-
fense to the department of justice, but
up to this time the department officials
who have the matter in charge have
not been satisfied of the innocence OF
the district attorney.
Among the papers in the case is the
sworn statement of Jafet Linderberg
in which he declares that the fee in
question was paid to Grigsby by him
self in order to retain him as his coun-
sci. He swears that the money was
not paid on behalf of the company, but
by himself as an individual. Other evil
dence on file, however, shows that the
$4,000 in question was paid over to
Grigsby by the Pioneer Mining COM
pany and not by Linderberg as an in
dividual.
The district attorney admits that he
received $4,000 from Linderberg, but
of course, denies that it was paid to
him for any improper purpose. He says
that he was engaged as counsel. 1t is
not unusual for United States district
attorneys to engage in the private
practice of law during their terms OF
office, and the department of justice
does not discourage this usage.
1t appears from the information OBJ
tanned by the special agents that wher
Grigsby landed at Nome on a certain
Saturday in the summer of 1902 he i'm
mediately met representatives of the
Pioneer Mining company. On the fol-
