JESSE JAMES,
THE SECOND
Brief Sketch OF Grimes of Larron, the
Horse Thief Who Is Making Such a
Bitter Fight at Fargo Against Ex-
tradition to Canada.

Wild and reckless daring combined
with an utter disregard for the laws
of God and man such as would do
credit to the hero of the most sensa-
tiOnal of yellow backed dime novels
characterize the life story of Alex
ander Larron whose extraditiOn case is
now being tried before U. s. Commits
siOner Montgomery of this city. The
account of his crimes, exploits and
escapes from justice as gathered from
the lips of his victims and the numer-
Gus officers who have been on his trail
at different times reads like a typical
wild west tale.
LarrOn is one of an organized gang
Of horse thieves which for the past six
years and more has infested the Dor
der between North Dakota and Cana
da, terrorizing the inhabitants and
lodging and fighting the officers of the
law on both sides of the international
boundary. A popularity about Lar
ron's operations was the fact that
while he is known to have been men,
Der of this gang of outlaws he usually
carried on his depredations single
handed and confined them almost en-
tirely to horsestealing. Yet he was
utterly fearless of consequences and
would not stop short Of murder to gain
his ends or secure his liberty. He is
even accused of shooting one man
wantonly but positive proof of this
has not yet been forthcoming.
Just when he began his career as
border desperate is not known but
his first encounter with the officers
of the law was in the summer of 1900
About that time he made off with some
horses belonging to ranchers in the
northwestern part of North Dakota.
He was pursued by Sheriff Costello of
Williams and Sheriff German of Ken
nedy. After following his trail for
several days the officers surprised
Larron while he was asleep on a sand

CALL UPON COSBY
TO PROVE BENEFIT
OF FILTRATION
Commissioners Ask Cap
tain to Reply to
Criticisms.

As the result Of "a story printed i'm a
Memphis, Tenn, newspaper criticising
Washington's new filtration plant and
declaring it to be responsible for the in
crease Of typhoid fever In the District.
the District Commissioners have asked
Capt. Spencer Cosby. the army officer
IN charge Of the filtration plant. for an
expression of his views as To the truth
or faIsity of the statements contained
I'm the story. The Commissioners action
was taken after they had received a
communication from r. H. EOmmel. OF
Vicksburg, Miss. who asked inforna-
tiOn as TO whether Washington is re-
garded as the most unhealthy city IN
the country, as was charged In the
story, and whether or not the filtration
plant, built at an expenditure Of 100000,
Is an absolute failure.
According to the writer's information.
since the completion Of the filtration
plant Washington has been no less than
a pest spot, and an undesirable city in
which to live. The information was
gathered. he said, from the newspap per
story which the writer inclosed. A
para graph which the Commissioners
regard as particularly Iurid and objec-
ttonable, reads:
Washington is probably the most
unhealthy city IN the country. Few If
any cities have so high a death rate.
Few cities have spent anything Ike the
amount Of money that Washington has
on it's water supply. It was supposed
by the engineers who laid out me city
that the water would be uncontaminated
by sewage. What they failed 10 take
into account is the sewage from Cum
berland, situated 100 miles M stream

caused the comment that has followed
this stand.
Generals Bell and Lee long have been
close friends. General Lee viii be re-
tired for age January Z. and. as no more
vacancies in the list Of major generals
are apt 10 occur before then, he would
have quit the service a brigadier gen
eraI. This step was taken by the chief
of staff in order thai his friend migHt
be retired from long, active, and hon
Orably service in the army with the
higher rank and pay.
When General Bell was made chief
Of stan Il was recognized by both the
President and Secretary Taft that II
would be embarrassing 10 have a briga-
dier general in the Office hitherto all
ways hlied by the highest officer OF the
army. II was considered, however that
General Bell would b. promoted TO
major general in September. thus giving
him equal rank with Major General
Ainsworth. military secretary, and
number of major generals OF the line.
This promotion has been declined, how
ever and General Ainsworth Will con-
tinue TO be Acting Secretary of War
during the absence of Secretary TAFT
and Assistant Secretary Oliver.
Promotion for Captain Pershing.
Another cause Of almost equal com
ment I'm army circles has been the per-
sistent rumor. the past few days, that
Capt. John Pershing is TO ill the va
cancy IN the list Of brigadier generals
caused by the promotion of General Lee.
Opposition 10 this appointment is wide,
for the reason that il is recognized as
strong favoritism, nearly a thousand
officers of higher rank being overlooked

Definite announcement Of the promo
tiOu OF General Lee in his stead was
made yesterday afternoon by General
Bell. He stated that the President had
decided to make the promotion, and ad-
niitted that it was being done at his
suggestion. He stated that the promo
ton of Captain Pershing had not yet
been determined upon, and, although he
gave no assurance that il would not be
made. he did not deny that Ii was un-

houses in. which Hebrews and their

Traces of the ruin wought by the
soldiers are 10 be seen on every

entered and looted. At almost every
shop there was a fight before the
soldiers gained admission. Bullet

Few persons sending their work to
dye house realize how extensive and
elaborate the present systems of dyeing
and cleaning are compared to those of
but few years ago. Possibly the best
example Of up-to- date work in this line
will be found in the new factory just
completed for Henry Bros. at 1918, 1915
and l2l7 Hennepin avenue. This fac
tory being the most recent from point
OF construction and equipment, gives a
comprehensive idea Of what skill and
care are exercised in producing the pres
ent-daay cleaning and dyeing. Henry
Bros. dye house excels that of any
other in the Northwest without doubt.
Three full stories Of a large square
building are devoted exclusively to the
cleaning and dyeing Of all kinds of
mems and women's garments, house
hold articles, draperies, lace curtains,
rugs, etc. In addition there is a special
one-story building erected separately
from the other which is devoted to the
French dry cleaning process, where the
most delicate and expensive articles of
wearing apparel, etc, are cleaned with
out IN any way inficting injury or wear.
The. first floor of the main building is
devoted to steam cleaning and dyeing
after thoroughly cleansing by the most
lup-to=date process the work is put
Through rapidly revolving centrifugal
| machines, which throw out all dirt and
