Crookston Officer Said to be
Here Last Evening-Kept
in the Shade.

A we'll defined rumor in local police
circles has it that at least one officer
from the CrOokston police force made
this city visit last evening and his
operations were clothed in more or
less mystery. The report has it that
the OFFICER came over on the evening
train, got off at the depot and nut in
portion. at least, of the night in a
visit to the railroad yards, down town,
places and the Point. The officer did
not call at the police headquarters;
nor make his presence known to off,
GERS, it is said.
The Valley City murder and the re-
wards offered have melted the police
OF the entire country to extra vigilance,
and it Is advanced that the man from
the county seat came here in search of
some suspect he had an inkling of,

clear of Grand Forks.
1t is possible, so the officers state,
that the CroOkston sleuth came over
in search of some one who may have
been implicated in the numerous post
Office robberies as it is known that the
perpetrators were suspected of maxi
ing this way early in the day of the
crime. There is an air of reserve about
police headquarters on both sides of
the river and there may be something
up the sleeve of the men at the heads
of the blue coats they are not as yet
prepared to give out.
The trains are closely watched
nights and Sheriff Art Turner is a
familiar figure on the west side rail-
road stations

Policeman Andy Sullivan made a
capture at the Great Northern depot
this afternoon which may be of i'm
portance. A tough looking character,
afterwards giving his name as Frank
Monatt, Duluth, was seen by E. D.
Hostetter of Grafton making off with
his suit case which he left long
enough to step inside the telephone
booth at the depot.
Mr.. H0stetter followed the man, who
plead a mistake and gave up the suit
case. Officer Andy Sullivan was mott
fled and the fellow was put under
arrest.
At the police station, Monatt was
searched, but nothing was found on
him but Great Northern ticket read
ing from Mentor to Crookston and is
sued on August Is. He stated that he
had not been asked for this ticket
by the conductor, and again is said
to have made the statement that he
lost his train and had to walk to
Crookston.
Monatt states that he is bound for
Langdon and has been at the head of
the lakes, but his story is doubted by
the police. His description answers
something to that of the Lone Star
Kid" wanted at Valley City for the
murder there, but he is older than the
Kid, about 40, Judging from his ap-
pearance. Mcnatt has an ugly scar
on his head and is withal bad look
ing character. IT,
Mr.. Hostetter has been out west
where he is about to locate at Los An
geles. He is. one of the well-known
farmers of Grafton and the suit case
bore his name in plain letters. 1t
does not seem probable that anyone
would make the mistake Monatt claims
lead to his hurried make-away with
the baggage.

TILTED GIRL WEEDS ANOTHER.
Quits One Young Man and Marries
Her Consider.
As.ncsatad pr~.. tn The Nvansno Tgmss


Newark, Aug. 31.-Left in the lurch
a month ago after she had dressed
up in her wedding finery and gone to
the Office of justice of the peace to
meet a young man who had plighted
troth with her, Miss Katie Ralph, 10
years old, of No. 271 York avenue, is
now consoled of fortune, for she is
the bride of another, whom she says
she loves much more than she ever
loved the one who proved SO faith
less.
Katie refuses to say who her first
sweetheart was. except that his last
name was Morris. 1t was on the even
ing of last July Is that their wedding
was to have taken place. The BRIDE
to-be went to the office of Justice
Henry Bossett, No. 1874 Market street,
where her fiance had promised to meet
her at Z o'clock. She waited for half
an hour and began to worry. Then
there came ring at the telephone.
"Is Miss Katie Ralph there?" asked
voice.
The justice called her to the tele-
phone.
"You know who this is?" said the
voice. We'll, I've changed my mind
and it won't come off at ALL"
Katie was heard to eXpostulate, but
all in vain. When she hung up the
receiver she burst into tears. Then
she went home and gave full rein to
her grief.
An acquaintance, Philip Cohen, of
No. sc S. Orange street, heard of her
plight and came around to console her.
He succeeded so we'll that within
few days her tears ceased to flow and
she began to realize that she felt
something more than gratitude to-
ward the young man who had been
so kind to her in her distress. He
called on her frequently and little by
little the image of her former love
became effaced from her mind. Cupid,
not slow to take advantage of such
situation, brought about the happy
denouement, which left no room for
disappointment to any one. for the
justice, meeting the young couple by
appointment at his Office last evening.

failed to get on the first occasion.

Iennessee's Warm Contest.

The republican papers in distant states have already carried Tennessee against the democrats. They have elected H. Clay Evans governor, thus overcoming with a dash of the pen a normal democratic plurality ranging from 10000 to 30,OO0 They have ac- complished this result by declaring that the people of Tennessee are iu- dignant because Evans was counted out when on the face of the returns he had a plurality of 74S. If the people are mad over that popular vote, they have been dilatory in showing 1t, for the alleged contingent occurred in 1894. They say. too, that Gov. John 1. Cox and the machine will slyly oppose the election of Malcolm R. Patterson to the chief executive office. but there is not bit of evidence that any vote tied to Governor Cox will be cast against Mir. Patterson.
 The closing week of the campaign in Tennessee will be one of great actiy. lty on the democratic side. MT. Pat terson himself is power on the stump. He impresses all favorably wherever he speaks. Nearly every prominent democrat is aiding him, and it is believed that the entire dem ocratic strength will be induced to go the polls. If 1t does, MT. Patterson will be elected by not less than 25,00O majority, and the republican papers a thousand miles away will begin to see that they counted some chickens be fore they were matched.
