Penniless Wanderer From England

opportunities advertised, Mccormick
left his widowed mother in England to
try his fortune in the new world. In
his native town he had filled lucrative
position as a bank clerk, but he could
find no employment suited to his abili-
ties in the province of Alberta. What
the northwest wanted was farmers and
mechanics, not clerks.
After a year spent in trying to make
he drifted to Minneapolis. Here his
money gave out and before he could
find work he wrote to his mother for
funds to take him back to Exmouth.
The old lady had only a scanty nest
egg OF insurance money which came
to her by the death Of her husband.
She was on the point of sacrificing this
in order that she might have her boy
once more when the Misses Gooding,
two young women who were teachers in
the Sunday school which young Nc
Cormick used to. attend, came to her
rescue. They suggested that she write
to their brother, who lives in Mime.

STRENUOUS CAMPAIGN
FOR TREASURERsHIP
Three Avowed and Two Receptive Can
didates for Colonel Johnson's Place.


There bids fair to be battle royal
for the office of county treasurer, made
vacant by the recent death of Colonel
G. w. johnson.
Three candidates are actively work
ing for the position and there are two
or more receptive candidates. The
county commissioners meet next Tues
day to make an appointment and on ac-
count of the short interim the campaign
is especially strenuous.
The candidate who at present seems
to be the most prominent is Henry G.
Hanke. Friends Of Mr.. Hanke declare
the county commissioners should con-
slider him first since he, as candidate
at the republican primaries last fall, re-
ceived the second largest vote in a
large field. They say that this is the
peoples Endorsement. Mr.. Hanke did
not announce himself as a candidate I'M
til yesterday and is not making a per-
sonal canvass. His friends, however,
are working hard.
Charles F. Nickels, chief deputy treas
urer and also one of the last year 8
prominent candidates, is working for
the place and it seems to be a neck
and neck race between him and Mr.
| Hanke. .,.-r-..-.-
Frank Farnum, George Matchen and Fred
E. Barney, former county commissioner
from the first commissioner district
also are prominently mentioned. Mr.
Barney is not an avowed candidate, but
it is understood that if the position is OF
fered to him as many Of his warm
friends think it should and may be, he
will accept.

Veterans from Soldiers Home See
''Marching Thru Georgia.


Scenes of the days when they fanked

. Conveyed to the theater in char
tered cars furnished gratis by the
street railway company, these members
of the Soldiers home army expected
an excellent performance, and they got
it, for the actors put forth their most
earnest efforts to make realistic mimic
scenes that had once been real to a
number of the audience.
; Rev. G. L. Morrill, made the soldiers
at home with an address that brought
three cheers and vociferous "tiger'
from the $50 veterans. Mr.. Hays
deepened the welcome with a few re-
marks, which also elected cheers, and
the pretty play was unfolded. After
an extremely pathetic and realistic
finale Of the second act, handkerchief
were lifted to score Of eyes in which
tears were forming, and one old vet
eran, who could not restrain his sor
row, spent the Intern ssicn period In
the lobby, declaring the man who
wrote the play must have been with

GETS ONE PENNY.
st. Paul Woman Receives Balm for Her
Wounded Feelings.

After wrangling ten hours, the jury
in the st. Paul SANDER case Of Mrs.
Emma Brodie against Mrs. Josephine
G. Craig reached the conclusion that a
verdict of one cent was sufficient salve
for the wounded feelings of the plant
iff. This munifcent offering was re-
ported without tremor by the foreman,
he never appearing to think of the wide
gap between that minimum coin and
the expense attached to the sensational
fight Mrs. Brodie has made to get dam
ages for alleged wrongful attacks upon
her character.

had stated at one time that the plaintiff
had "knocked down. 80 cents at q

BANDIT IS PTURED
FER SHOOT |NG man.
TWO BROTHERS HAVE FIERCE;
FIGHT WITH RoBBER.
Martin Elleson Holds Up Sather Broth
ers' Meat Market, 22O5 e Franklin
Avenue, and Shoots Charles Sather
Thru Thigh, but Is Captured After
Terrific Battle with Thorbin Sather.

After fierce battle last night with
desperate bandit, who had robbed
Sather Brothers meat market, 22O5 E
Franklin avenue, and shot Charles
Sather in the Thigh, Thorbin Sather
finally overpowered the man and he
is now locked up in the South Side
police station. The wounded meat dealer
is seriously tho not fatally injured.
The bandit, whose name is Martin
Elleson, entered the meat market at
10:45 last night and, covering the
startled brothers with his revolver,
looted the cash drawer before their
startled eyes. Pocketing the money,
$44.15, he backed thru the door, eau
tioning his victims-and emphasizing
his remarks with menacing sweep Of
the weapon-that to follow him would
mean death. 81,
Charles Sather moved toward the
robber and the latter Immediately made
his threat good. by sending bullet
thru the butchers thigh. Sather fell,
but Thorbin Sather, frenzied by what
he supposed was the murder of his
brother, darted after the retreating
robber and clinched with him in the
street.
Tho Of slight stature the bandit is
a powerful man, and with his revolver
would have been more than a match
for the short butcher, had not the lat
ter been ppurred to fury by the wan
ton shooting of his brother. Two shots
were fired by the robber in vain eff
fort to fell his opponent in the fierce
hand-to-hand encounter, but neither
found it's mark and with assistance that
came, the butcher soon had the man
overpowered and helpless on his back
Elleson was taken to the shop amid
cries Of "lynch him." and stood near
his bleeding victim until the patrol
wagon arrived. Throut the ordeal and
after he had been safely incarcerated
he freely regretted his inability to kill
both butchers, and declared he would
kill now, did not the bars intervene.
An effort is being made to determine
whether Elleson had any connection
with the holdup and murder of Charles
o. Bader earlier in the evening, but
Elleson is in surly mood and has lit
tie to say except expressions Of regret
that his efforts to slaughter the Sathe1
brother were unsuccessful. It Is not
thought by the police, however, that
Elleson was one Of the murderers.
Elleson is known by the police, anc
has been a resident Of Minneapolis fol
some time. He is man apparently
30 years old, but marks of dissipation
give him an older appearance. He il
tall and slender and not good to lool
upon. ~.

One Woman Demands christmas
Stamps Because She Read That Ex-
ira Lot Of Stamps Had Been Received
for Christmas Mail-Want Stamps
That Will Match Envelops.

Many amusing scenes have been en-
acted in the postoffce corridors during
the Christmas rush and the queries and
comments at the weighing, stamp, reg
istry and receiving windows have re-
vealed many queer notions as to the pur-
pose and methods of the postal service.
At the stamp window the following
remarks were overheard:
"I want some special Christmas
stamps. These are just ordinary
stamps. Give me the Christmas stamps.
Why I read ID the paper that you had
for the Christmas mall

"Gi me three fves, and pair of

The man who stands behind the
counter weighing parcels and telling
people the amount Of postage due on
them probably has the most nerve rack
ing job. Some of the questions and
comments at this window were:
"You only charged that lady seven
cents and I don't see why you should
ask me to pay eleven. Her package is
much larger than mine.''

At the receiving window the anxiety
