MAN PUTS TOO MANY ae
EGGS IN HIS BASKET
Police Arrest Man on Charge of OBJ
tanning Goods Under False. Pretenses :,


Nels Glomserud, forty -four years
old, laberer, was arrested yesterday
by Sergeant Flanagan and 'Patrolman
Calvin on the charge of obtaining
goods under false pretenses.
The prisoner is said to have ordered
$40 of groceries from Lindeke &.
Hammer, East Seventh street He
left instructions that the goods were
to be sent to an address on Mount
Airy street, where payment would be
made on delivery. Meantime Glomse-
rud, as is alleged. would take three
dozen eggs with him. in case the main
order might not be delivered promptly
He did not pay for the eggs and no
house was found at the given address.
Similar frauds, presumably carried
out by the same man, have been res
ported lately by a number of local
groceries and other shops e.l7gs7 .

DEMOCRATS BOOM
HOBE FOR GOVERNOR
Leaders of Party Think St.Paul
Man Would Prove Strong
Candidate

A quiet little boom has been started
by number of leading Democrats of
st. Paul for Engelbreth H. Hobe, a
prominent business man of ST. Paul,
for the Democratic nomination for
governor
While the boom for Mr. Hobe had
its inception in a more or less informal
discussion of gubernatorial possibili
ties by a number of leading Democrats
early in the week, \ it has grown to
very respectable proportions. and yes
terday there were many expressions of
approval from party leaders and men
who usually influence nominations in
Democratic conventions in this state.
'The Democratic party of Minnesota
could not do better than to nominate
e. H Hobe,' one man said, as he dis
cussed the work before the state nom
mating convention to be held at Min
neapoliS Aug. 80. There is danger
that the nomination of a candidate. for
governor may go by default. BY this
l do not mean that the party will not
make nomination, and l would no+
be understood as saying this by a long
way. What I meancis, that some can
.didate may come to Minneapolis with
nucleus of say 200 votes and simply
run away with the nominal ton because
the leading men in the party have not
done anything to guard against such a
contingency. 1t is time that men who
have an interest in the nominate of
a strong state ticket awoke TO the sit
uation and began to look about for
candidates.
Stands High in Business World
& Democrats would make no mistake
if they would nominate E. H Hobe for
governor. He is one of ST. Paufs
leading business men, and no man
stands higher in the business eomnau,.
nifty than he. For twenty years he has
been an honored resident of the city,
and he has not done thing in all that
time that will not stand the light of
day. AS vice consul for Norway and
Sweden for the Northwest for many
years, he has formed an acquaintance
among the ScandinavianS second to no
man in the state, and in various Susl-
ness enterprises he has made and won
friends in a great many business cen
terS of the state. While vice consul
for a foreign power, he is a broad
gagged American citizen, tmbued with
the spirit of American progreSSiVeness
and liberal to a fault. He would make
most formidable candidate for gov
ernor were he to be nominated, and
the Democrats could go further and
fare worse than to unite on Mr.. sHobe:'

for Norway and Sweden, is vice presi-
dent of the Hobe-Peters Land COM
pany and has other large interests lin

by his own endeavors has attained

OBJECTS TO PRICES
Comm ssioner Pottgieser De.
Clares for Cheaper Sawdust

Whats this? Two dollars and half
for load of sawdust? Who knows
anything about this bill?" demanded
county Commissioner PottgieSer, as he
waved the claim above his head and
glanced inquiringly at his fellow men,
bers on the joint court house and city
hall commission.
Custodian Cramsey, when Mr. Pott-
gieser had finished, explained that he
had ordered the sawdust, just as he had
been in the habit of doing for years.
The saWdust was used for sweeping
purposes in the building.
L don't care what it's used for de-
clared Mr.. Pottgieser IT'S too much.
Who ever heard of paying $3.50 for a
load of sawdust? Why when 1 was in
the saloon business used to get all the
sawduSt | wanted for nothing; all L.
had to do was to haul it away. don't
think that bill should be paid
That is the, price we have always
paid for saNdust." explained the custo-,
DIAN If the commission can get it
any cheaper l have no objection"
1t was eventually explained to Mr..
Pottgieser that it was more the cost of
hauling the sawduSt than the cost of
the sawdust itself. 1t had to be hauled
quite distance and the Sawdust was
of the best quality. A little persuasion
by other members of the commission

his approval.
We'll, it may be all right, but it's
pretty stiff price for sawdust," he said.
as he attached his signature to the
claim.
The sawdust incident was not the
only one that delayed the proceedings
of the joint court house and city han
commission at its meeting yesterday
afternoon. Mr.. Pottgieser found other
bills to object to. One was claim of
$3.50 for lumber.
What are we buying lumber for?"
demanded Mr.. Pottgieser. Il wasn't
aware that we were putting UP any
buildings. Perhaps the custodian can
explain this bill, also?"
The custodian thought he could. and
did so. He said the lumber was for the
use of the carpenter of the building.
II was used in all kinds of repair work.
such at it was the duty Of the carpenter
to attend to.
Next came a bill for sponges. The
claim was only a small one, but it at
tracted the attention of Mr.. Pottgieser.
Now, what in the world are sponees
used for about this building?" in
quired Mr.. Pottgieser. Are we con-
Quoting kindergarten school?"
1t was necessary for Mr.. Cramsey to
explain again. The custodian said the
sponges were used by the janitors i'm
their work of scrubbing the furniture
and rooms in the building The price
was low one and the sponges were
an absolute necessity
Lets not kick on the janitors wear
ing out sponges." suggested Assembly,
man Winn Powers, and the bill was ap-
proved.
The joint commission passed num-
Der OF other bills. Before the commits
sion adjourned a contract was let to
M j. O'Neil for the installation of
hot water plant in the building. The
cost of the new plant will be about
