Mabel Ellsworth Thinks She Is
One Victim

Mabel Ellsworth, who was arraigned
in the police court yesterday on a
charge of drunkenness, believes she is
the victim of Harry Silberberg, alias
j. J. Carlisle, and a number of other
names, who created a sensation by
clipping with Miss Bonnie Hinkle about
Washington, where he was spending
his honeymoon, to answer a charge of
swindling
Silberberg defaulted his cash bail Of
$1,000, and was last heard from in Dem
yer, where he obtained considerable
notoriety in connection with a ques-
tionable transaction.
Mrs. Ellsworth says she was wild
owed four years ago and her husband
left her jewelry worth $1,000 and &c.,
900 in cash, besides furniture valued at
$4,000.
This was at San Antonio, Tex, and
three years ago she met a man named
Paul Grundwald and married him. He
ran through her fortune and six months
ago she says he took her jewelry and
cash.
Determined to pursue him she sold
her furniture and Searched Chicago, st.
Louis, New York and other cities.
While making the rounds of some Of
the saloons Monday night she claims
she was drugged and robbed of $40.
Mrs. Ellsworth says her husband
never had a photograph taken, but she
identified one of Silberbergs as that
of her missing spouse, who told her he
was a travelling man and spent a large
portion of his time away from home.

MONEY FOR PAVING
Aldermen, Vote $1,000 for Re.
pairing Asphalt Pavement

On recommendation of City Engineer
Rundlett, the board of aldermen ac-
cepted last night the bid of the Re-
public Creosoting company for creo-
soted blocks with which to repair the
floors of the Mississippi street bridge
over the Northern Pacific tracks and
the jackson street bridge over the
Great Northern tracks. The bid ap-
proved was the only bid. 1t offered to
supply the blocks at $1.23 square
yard. This will make the total cost
$4,S47.46, of which the railway COM
panies will pay $2,634.79.
On the further recommendation of
the city engineer, 81 500 was voted out
of the general fund for repairing as
phalt pavements. Some streets, es-
pecially Seventh" wrote the engineer,
"are in a wretched condition" He ex-
planned that money was still due from
contractors who had failed to repair
the payementS according to contract,
and that the city would thus be reim-
bursed for it's expenditures.
The peddlers' license ordinance was
laid over until the second meeting in
November. Explanation was made
that lone of the candidates in the
country might make unworthy refer
ence to the boards action, If the Ii
cense ordinance were considered last
night.
As a resolution that granted to the
Northern Pacific railway the right to
erect poles and string wires on lower

Assistant Corporation Attorney

the case before the board, the city
would undoubtedly have authority to
order the wires down, and get them
down.
The resolution was passed, Mr..

SUGAR BOUNTY
IS BOOMERANG
Does Not Have the Effect That
Dunn Workers Had An.
tlcipated

There was great glee among the
Dunn people when a St. Paul paper
printed a story to the effect that former
Auditor Dunn had held up the award of
of sugar bounty to an institution in
Minneapolis which had employed Judge
Torrance as its attorney.
Statements to the effect that Auditor
Iverson was the man who had held up
the payment of the bounty were dis
credited and the fact that Judge Col
Inns was the jurist who had written an
opinion adverse to the payment of the
bounty were overlooked.
Assessments Are High
The Republican candidates for office
are sore. They are being assessed for
a large amount for the purpose of
raising a Dunn campaign fund in Min
neapolis. Candidates for the district
judgeship are taxed $500 each, and the
candidate for the clerk of the courts,
who has a four-year term, is requested
to be good and come to the center with
$500.
The candidates for the legislature,
who usually draw about $3.50 for the
session, have been requested to remit
500 instead of the usual $50. 1t is be-
lieved the Hennepin county committee
has taken into consideration the fact
that a United States senator is to be
elected at the coming session and
therefore has raised the limit.
Democrats Are Active
Four Democratic meetings were held
last night and in spite of the inclem-
ent weather they were we'll attended.
They We're in the First, Third, Ninth
and Tenth wards. The speakers were
Mayor Haynes, DR.. c. II. KOhler, cam
didate for congress, M. C. Brady, L. NJ.
Rand and others
Tonight there will be a meeting in
the Sixth ward.
Cannon Due Tonight
The Republicans are making great
preparations for the meeting tonight
when Joseph G.. Cannon, speaker of the
house of representatives, will be the
star performer. He is scheduled to ar
rive late in the afternoon, and after he
has been primed on local issues by a
select coterie which will gather at the
residence of former Congressman Loren
Fletcher, he will be permitted to pro-
coed to the auditorium and talk until
his train starts for the West.
The time of the man from Illinois is
limited, and although he is to be the
show piece of the evening it has been
decided to permit some of the lesser
lights who seek Office to have a chance
to talk before the man of the evening
is presented.

WITNESS ABSENCE
MAY INJURE AMES
One Who Testified in His Favor Said
to Be Out of State

Augusta Hayden, one Of the leading
witnesses for the defense at the last
trial of DR.. A. A. Ames, is said to have
left the state. She testified she paid
protection money to Tom Brown, the
former mayors secretary, but had no
agreement with the mayor.
She formerly was witness for the
state, but after some trouble with the
county attorney she transferred her all
legiance, and her testimony embar-
raised the state to a considerable de-
gree.

may tell what he knows about grating,
and maybe Fred Ames, now in Still
