THREE COUNTS FOR PERKINS
Young Man Of st. Anthony, Accused
of Criminal Assault on Miss Susie
Glenn-Two Indictments Returned
Against Perkins, Who Posed ms Mis-
sionary Of coIored Baptist Society.

A second partial report OF indict-
ments, against James Cannon, of ST.
Anthony, and George Perkins, was re-
turned by the grand jury late Friday
afternoon. Cannon Is charged with
assault with intent to commit rape,
and Perkins was indicted for obtain
ing money by false pretenses. Two In
dictments, containing three counts.
were returned against Perkins, who is
In Jail.
Cannon Is 10 years Of age. Miss SUI
sic Glenn, ST. Anthony girl. is the
girl who Is alleged to have been Gan
mons victim, and her father, ]. I.
Glenn is the complaining witness.
Cannon was arrested several months
ago, was tried few weeks ago before
Justice Willard, and was discharged.
After the indictment was returned,
Cannon WAS summoned to this city.
and this morning furnished bonds for
$500 for his appearance in the district
court. w. ]. Dunn, Of st. Anthony, Is
his surety.

Of Melbourne, who were indicted
Thursday and arrested Friday. both

to the council with great promise for
creditable record. In the Third, the
issue. between A. j. Clark and DR.. p. w.
Jay can not be predicted. In the Fourth
Robert McMains will undoubtedly be
returned by good vote, while In the
Fifth Anthony PseniclSa's reelection
is assured.
The contest between F. e. Northup
and C.. C. Caswell for city attorney,
and the munificent salary Of 500 per
annum, has been a friendly one, with
Northup possessing a slight advantage
from the fact that he has been identi-
fed with the friends of the present city
administration, and is the older man
in the practice. Mr.. Caswell, however,
is a politician of no inactive habits, and
does have personal following.
Tn the case Of city assessor the pres
ent assessor, w. B. Elliott, seeking re-
election for the seventh time, has the
advantage Of wider mountaineering
with the younger generation of voters
over his opponent, S. p. Knisely, yet
he has to overcome very general pre-
judice against an assessor being inter-
ested In the solicitation Of other bust
ness from those assessed. Mr. Knisely
has always polled a handsome vote OF
confidence.

BRAY WILL FIGHT CASE.
Ellen Beach Yaw's Manager Says H,
VIII Spend $4,000 If Necessary.


William A.. Bray, Of Boston, manager
donna who recently appeared in this
city under the management OF G. E.
Patterson, was in town Friday night,
en- route to Chicago from Des Moines.
Mr.. Bray has placed in the hands OF
his attorney, at Boston, the contract
with Mr.. Patterson, under which Miss
Yaw appeared here and which, owing
to some misunderstanding, Miss Yaw
guarantee of 5000 was not forthcom-
closed her performance because the
ing. 1Ir. Bray's wife acted in his stead
when Miss Yaw appeared here, and Mr..
Bray maintains that because Mrs. Bray
was not a man she was taken advan-
tage of III business way. This, OF
course, Mr. Patterson denies. Mr..
Bray says that he will spend $4,000 II
necessary to show the validity of the
contract Mr.. Bray says that Mr. Pat
terson represented himself as the own
er of business block on West Main
street, and it was only because of this
that he was given contract. II the
business block is Pattersor's property,
Bray says, his Judgment would be col
lectible; If not, he will sue for false
representation in making q. contract.
Concerning the representations re-
ferred to Mr.. Patterson says that Mr.
Bray has assumed too much. Patter-
sons attorney claims that his client
has good case from the fact that Miss
Yaw gave only half her program. Mr.
Patterson says that while in town Fri
dav night Mr. Rray offered in a. Way to
compromise. Mr.. Bray said at 1880

ment to the effect that Miss Yaw is

'If all those who voted for Ltaly last
time would vote for him again, and II
all those who voted for Egermayer
would vote for DAILY this year, DAILY
would be elected" said a man in the
barber shop, and he was right. II they
would, Daily would be elected. but Will
they7 The men who voted dor Daily
last time, many of them, were voting
against Ingledue. Since then Ingledue
has made good mayor. He has sur
prised the men who had no confidence
in him then, and DAILY has done nothing
to gain new friends. 1t is not reason
able to suppose that hescan hold all OF
the vote he got then. The Egermayer
men, however, were men who did not
trust Ingledue, and who would not vote
for DAILY. For the most part they were
the very best class OF Protestant
church people. They will not vote for
DAILY now, and Ingledue has shown
them that he Is a far better mayor than
they supposed he would be. 1t is more
reasonable to expect that more of the
Egermayer men will vote for Ingledue
now than will go to DAILY, In fact any
voter who will go to Daily now would
have gone to him then. On the other
hand, IL Ingledue has been q good
enough mayor to win over any consid-
cradle number OF his enemies, what
could there be In such a record to turn
away the men who voted for him two
years ago? why will he not hold what
he had and gain more? The best OBJ
servation leads to the belief that he Will
poll more votes than all Of the other
candidates put together.
Those who have seen the most of In
gledue's work know that the man has
tried to give the city a good admins
tration. Things that have been said
about him by irresponsible citizens,
who are. and always have been, a curse
to their community, have cut him to
the quick. In doing his duty, as he
saw it, and making the best record he
knew how, he has hoped to silence vic
ious criticism If he should have been
turned down by responsibility the next
mayor would have received every in
vitation to let his town go to the dogs.

no petty graft going on among the po-
lice, and in the main they are good
officers. He has put in night desk
sergeant who is within telephone call
of any home at any hour of the night.
He led in abolishing the fee system,
and as result, during the two
years, he has turned over to the city
$4,000, or $1,000 more than any pre-
vious mayor, besides saving the county
over $500, while his cost has been
$4,000 in salary. During his two years
the municipal debt has been reduced
from $4,000 to $4,000, 234 per cent.
And during this time water mains have
been extended at a cost of $1S,o02;
sewers extended for $6,7ss, and the
dam repaired at a cost Of $2,764.
Finding the city hopelessly involved
in litigation over faulty paving, he has
forced settlement which returns to
every property owner all penalties and
attorneys fees, and to the city all at
torney fees, while extending the COM
pany's guarantee five years, or 20 per
cent, under an increased bond. No
