After months of searching for

landed the right man in the person of

Strider had purchased some small

the check as payment. It aroused the
suspicion Of the cashier, who kept.
Strider waiting and called the police
Detectives Morrissey and Stavlo,
after a short talk with Strider, took
him to Central station and charged him
with grand larceny by forgery:
In Police Superintendent Doyle s
desk are fifty checks written in the
same hand and many on the same kind
of. paper as the one Strider tried to
pass last night. These checks have
/ been coming into police headquarters
for three months, having been refused

$50 EACH Most Of them bear the names
Of the Central Machine company, the
Franklin Machine Works company and
the J. p. Nelson Printing company.
Shortly after Strider was locked up

looked over and one corresponding al
most exactly with the one he had last

More than 1000 was spent by Hen
nepin county candidates at the last pri-
mary and general elections in the eff
fort to secure votes. This rather start
ling fact is shown by an examination
of the election expense affidavits which
have been filed in the office of the
county auditor.
With affidavits filed by 1915 Of the 2Sl
candidates, before the primaries the
sum total of election expenses reaches
$37 ,135, and according to county Off
cials the eighty-six men who have
been negligent in fling itemized &C.
counts of their election expenses spent
enough to bring the total to $4,000
With practically $4,000 voters in the
county it can easily be seen that votes
cost at the rate of 81 each.
Prosecutions would lie against eighty
six citizens of 'Hennepin county who
have failed to file their affdavits of
election expenses. Thursday was the
last day under the law for the filing of
expense statements and when the audi
tors office closed on Thursday night
only 1875 of the PSI primary candidates
had complied with the law.

GUN BANDITS RAID
AND ROB TWO STORES
Three Men in Each Place Held UP and

Escape.

. With daring Of the wild west, two
armed desperadoes entered James Ere

men in each place, obtaining more than
5000 in cash. :. 4 -

was preparing to close for the night.
With him was the deliveryman and a
university student. 2 0....
"Stick up your hands, quick,' came
voice from the front Of the store
and the three looked up to find -four
revolvers aimed at their heads. Behind
the weapons were two masked men
They knew it meant business, and as
Daress threw up his hands the others
did the same.
~ HNow get behind the counter and
read the signs on those cans" came
the command, which was carried out
without a murmur.
With. their victims facing the wall,
scooped out the bills and silver, and,
examining them carelessly into their
pockets, backed to the door, turned
and fed with the third man, who stood
guard outside the. door. About $50 was
stolen.
Half an hour later, Peter Lund, Mar
tin Lorin and Charles Metz, his clerks,
were startled by the same command
Lund began to laugh. His smile came
off quickly when the command was re.
peated and the robbers advanced. One
bandit went thru the victims pockets
and the other tapped the register. They
obtained $168 in all.
AS soon as the victims in both cases
regained enough breath to telephone,
the police were notified and detectives
were sent to look for the bandits. The
descriptions of the men in both cases
tally to dot.

ADJUSTMENTS
Metropolitan-Richard Mansfield il
tsReau Brlmmell' -

beau Brummeu.
It is impossible for even so untiring
an actor as Richard Mansfield to give
two performances Of ''Peer Gynt' in
one day. and so last evening he returned
again to role that he has made ia
tie, that of Beau Brummtll, the ex-
quisite of the days of the regency. Mr..
Mansfield has played it many times in
Minneapolis and his art has lost moth
ing by the repetitions. There is no
hint Of carelessness in the delicate hui
NOR, the pathos Of his drawing. 1t is
as clear cut as cameo. Beneath the
maker, he hints always at the high
minded gentleman, who is ever true to
his idea of good breeding. Foppish he
was, but gentleman ALWAYS, even in
that last rarely pathetic picture when,
crazed by his misfortunes, he greets his
imaginary guests in his miserable
garnet.
The story of the favorite of the
prince regent is one that everyone can
tease the mi nd, the meaning is as plain
as the staring letters on a billboard
which he who looks may read The
large audiance last evening found moth
ing to complain Of in the simplicity Of
the lines and Beau Brummell received
quite as much, if not more, appreciation
than did Ibsen's perplexing hero.
Miss Emma Dunn, whose interpreted
ton of Peer Gynt's mother was as
effective, showed her versatility as
Kathleen, the maid, and Miss Irene

Of fashion were well portrayed by Miss
Gertrude Gheen, Miss Adelaide Alex

tlon to proiding that. candidates who
