Greater Frisco.

Chicago, June 27.--"San Francisco
will soon be greater Frisco in deed as
we'll as in name. Things have settled
themselves since our terrible disas-
ter, capitalists are putting their mon
ey into rebuilding, enlarging and in
beautifying; tradespeople are enlarg-
ing their stocks and the people gener-
ally are exercising a great degree of
confidence in the city's future pros
perity."
Claus Spreckles, of San Francisco,
who, with his wife, was in Chicago,
expressed himself as above in discuss
ing the future of his home city. All
financial interests, he said, although
he spoke especially for the sugar in
terests, are firm in the belief that San
Francisco will become the largest and
most important port of entry in the
western hemisphere.

DUPED THE POLICE.
A Red Headed Crook Has Fun With
the Minot Officials.


Minot, N. d., June 27.Have the
Minot police been duped by man
who claims to be on the inside Of all
criminal transactions, and is himself
a criminal OF the most pronounced
type?
During the last few days red
headed man has been giving some con-
fldefitial talk to the police, claiming
that he knows all about the hold-up
artists, thugs and con men that have
been operating in the vicinity of Mi
not. His chief concern has been to
tell the Minot officers how much he
accomplished in securing the arrest of
famous criminals, and that If they
will only take his advice, crime will
be extirpated in this section Of North
Dakota.
1t was ON this mans assertions
largely that w. II. Holberg was ar
rested a few days ago on suspicion Of
being one Corbett, wanted at Havre,
Mont. for grand larceny. 1t now de-
yelops that Holberg lis not Corbett
Holberg has been held on vagrancy
charge until something definite was
learned of him.
All admit that the ed-headed man
has played smooth game. The police
think that he may be crook himself
and his arrest may follow.
