Waves. Them Off After ~.
Long ClamOr.

PARIS March 2S.--Upon the arrival
of the Duke de Chaulnes and his bride,
who was Miss Theodore Shonts, a
crowd of creditors gathered in the
courtyard at Rue Louis lie Grand.
AS one man the creditors of the
young nobleman took up the march to
the Office of Monsieur LIE Marquis,
guardian and man. affairs of the
duke, with the glad expectation of re-
ceiving at once full payment.
The most persistent creditor was the
tailor who has clothed the duke for
years. He is English, and on the eve
of the wedding attempted to collect
through -~the British consul at New
York. Failing, he assigned his claim
and brought suit. Unsuccessful in that
attempt he Joined the noisy crowd be-
fore the door Of Monsieur lie Marquis.
Another prominent figure was the
collector for Boucheron's. He came, 1t
was stated,.with. bill for the engage
lnent ring which the duke bought for
Miss Shonts and on this account be-
lieved himself preferred aboYe the 9th
ers.
An undertaken came with a bill for
the funeral expenses of a former sweet
heart of the duke.
All were finally sent away unpaid.
lie Marquis explained
"TIis grace, the duke, received no
American fortune. He and his bride
were married under an agreement for
the separation of property both in this
country and America, and therefore his
personal fortune was not augmented
by his marriage"

known Republican voter be permitted
to vote without previous enrolment,
but each candidate for delegate and
one representative shall be allowed To
be present at the primary and count

Claimed the Police That He Had Been Assaulted and Robbed
Evidence Shows That He Had Been Quafng From

when brought in, and the night Off
GERS evidently did not suspect any
thing about his being held up. He
says that he is IA plumber of trade
and had been working at Brookings
is. d., but concluded to return home.
He arrived in Mankato Sunday morn
ing and since then had been drinking
some. He is twenty-one years old and
a single man.
The switch crew found Mullen in a
puddle. Mullen says that he was ly-
ing between the rails when the en-
CINE approached. He says that after
recovering consciousness he dragged
himself across the yards. He was anx-
ious to be sent to hospital.
The switch crew say that they did
not see Mullen on the trip through
the yards that they had made few
moments before.
Taken to Hospital.
Mullen was this afternoon sent to
st. Joseph's hospital for treatment,
after members of the county board had
seen him. 1t was feared that he
might be seriously injured, as he COM
planned of pain in the region of his
heart and in his hip.
The case presents good deal of
mystery. Some of the officials doubt
his claim to have been sandbagged,
and one theory advanced is that he was
riding in a box car with some pals
and was thrown out by the, others.
