. POLITICAL COMMENT,

Saloons will open at tWillmar on October |.
The limiting of saloons to the front street
and refusing license to residents Of Willmar
who own their own buildings and who need
the money worse than the brewing combine
does gives the whole policy now inaugurated
a black eye at the outset. 1t is freely talked
on the streets that the strangers who have
been granted license are backed by the brew
ing companies, and that the latter are now
to be repaid for the money they have spent
in foisting the saloon policy onto the city.
~
Peter Bonde has announced his determine a.
ton to retire Chief of Police on the first OF
next month. The mayor and council are a
unit in desiring him to remain, but Peter
says he went into the service of the CITY large
ly on account of desire to assist in making
the no-license policy a success, and does not
care to take the job ofpicking up and punish
ing drunks made such by the same authority
to which he would be responsible He is not
in sympathy with the new policy of giving
the whiskey vendors legal protection. Be
sides he wishes to devote the remaining
weeks before the election TO his campaign for
sheriff, in which place he feels he would be
in more independent position and be better
enabled to make both legal and illegal booze
joints comply with the laws.
W
In our list of successful candidates at the
primary election published last week we in
adverdently omitted the names of G. H. Ot-
terness for county attorney and ]. o. kloster
and J. J. Week for commissioners.
~
There is great deal Of talk regarding the
placing Of independent candidates in the
field for some Of the Offices but nothing defn-
lite has developed as yet. Several delegations
of farmers bore down on desired candidate
for the senate against Senator Thorpe during
last weeks fair. Any independent ate
will require petition signed by 335 voters
who did not vote at the primary election,
and the filing must be done on or before Oct.
10th. The coming week will probably tell
what candidates will develop, if any.
~
There are several residents of this county
who have proved up c1aimss in Cass county
and claim to know Coles standing among
the settlers. These people using their in.
tuence for the reelection OF Gov. Johnson
which is enough said.

Stole Pool Room Monov.

Columbus Owen, colored individ-
ual who gave his age as 20 years, was
arrested in the east end of the railway
yards last Saturday evening on the
charge of grand larceny in the second
degree. He had robbed the. pool
rooms conducted by 81. Hadrath OF
S7l.45 in cash and was about to leave
the city on a freight train when Chief
Bonde apprehended him.
Owen had been employed in the city
Tor few days, part of which time he
spent as porter at the Merchant
Hotel and the other as bootblack
with his headquarters in front of the
pool and billiard rooms on Pacific
avenue. While at the latter place he
had had an opportunity to become
FAMILIAR with the premises and no
doubt had watched for an opportunity
to get away with the money which Mr..
Hadrath was in the habit of placing
in a leather pouch and kept in a box
In the cigar case. The opportunity
came Saturday evening shortly after
six while the proprietor had closed
up the place and gone to supper. An
entrance was effected thru the outside
cellar way and the key in the door
leading up stairs was pushed out and
the lock picked. The pool room was
easily entered and the theft of the bag
containing the money was then com
mitted.
It was about seven o'clock when
Hadrath returned and soon discov.
cred that the cash had vanished
The matter was reported to Chief o1
Police Bonde, who after careful
search of the railway yards found ar
extra east bound freight train ready
to pull out of the city. He boarded
it and found his man comfortably
lying on a bunk in the caboose,
smoking cigarette and cody thiDk.
ing of the good time he would have
ith his handsome haul upon his
arrival in the big cities. His fond
dreams were however rudely shattered
when he was found by the policeman
and made to disgorge. Bonde founC
the bag of money in his outside coa1
pocket and invited him to accompany
him to the city lookup, where he was
taken and placed and later removed
to the county jail.
Owen was arraigned in municipal
court Monday afternoon at two
O'Clock. He pleaded guilty to th'
charge and was remanded to the dis
| trict court.

FESTIVE MANAGER
OFFENDED GIRLS

OAKLAND, Dec. 13.-Alleging that
one of the reasons for their strike
against the Troy Laundry on Novem-
Der 10 was that A. l.. Wolfe. secretary
and manager, had insulted them by fire.
quently inviting them out to French
dinners to have a good time, May
Hampton, Helen Bridge, Lizzie Hartz
and other members of the international
Shirt Waist and Laundry Workers I'm
ion today filed an answer to the laun-
dry's injunction suit. The fair defend
ants charge with indignation that
Wolfe frequently offended them during
period of three years by his soIicita-
lions that they accompany him to
French restaurants in Oakland and San
Francisco.
Judge Ellsworth recently issued a
temporary injunction to restrain the
members of the Shirt Waist and Laun-
dry Workers Union from picketing the
Troy Laundry. The defendants deny
that they have inundated any of the
laundry's customers or employees or
caused it $4,000 worth of damage.
1t is alleged that the laundry violated
it's agreement with the union by en-
ploying non-union help and by paying
less than the minimum wage agreed
upon. The defendants ask that the in
junction against them be dissolved, on
the grounds of the plaintiffs violation
of it's agreement and of the misconduct
of the manager.
