IN DISTRICT couRT-PRosEcu-
TON MOVED FOR DISMISSAL
VERDICT RETURNED FROM THE
JURY BOX.

Despite, the fact that P. M. Titus
identified a trouser button Belonging
to him which was found among money
in Frank Myers pocket, that don't
prove that Frank stole Titus money.
That was the conclusion reached in
the district court this morning, when
Myers was dismissed States Atty. Al.
w. Fowler moved for an instructed
verdict. of not guilty, The defendant
was acquitted by the jury without
leaving the court room
A very queer circumstance was
brought to light during the trial. 1t
appears that a third party was in the
room the night the money In question
was stolen, who Titus, apparently new
er suspected. Myers showed that two
checks, signed by Frank Warner @of
Mapleton, for whom he had worked,
were stolen as well. One Of these, for
$3.50 was cashed and the second for
over $50 was caught at the Merchants
National bank Teller Day Of the bank
was a witness for the defense, produc-
ing records to show that Myers order
ed payment stopped on the paper on
the morning of his preliminary hearing
Atty. t. III. McEnroe conducted the de-
Tense.

Mr. Miller was seriously considered
by Burke and would have accepted
could the appointment have been made
early in the game, but after the fight
became bitter, like everyone else, he
saw that his selection of Burke would
have been more OF handicap than
helpful

MAN AGAINST MASSES
Subject of First Leoturo That viii Be
Given Under the Auspices
of the Y. M. C. A.

The Man Against the Masses will
be the subject of the lecture to be de-
livered by Frank Dixon of Washing
ton, d. c., next Tuesday evening in
the Presbyterian church. This will be
the first lecture on the lyceum course
of the Y. M. G. A. and is fitting
opening for the series of entertain
ments which will attract the atten-
ton of tie people of Fargo during the
coming winter.
Mr.. Dixon, who is the brother of DR..
A. G. Dixon of Chicago, is one of the
foremost lecturers of the present age.
1t is said of him that he is not a
demagogue fiattering the people; he
is not politician seeking Office! he
Is not a revolutionist clamoring for a
change; he lis not reactionist antag-
onizing progress. He is a moulder of
national ideals. His themes strike
root into the depths of modern life.
He deals with the economic, industrial.
social structure of our civilization with
the touch Of skilled anatonist, vet
with the breadth and power of the
statesman.
The next number following the lee
ture Of Mr. Dixon will be held on Nov.
20, when the Cambrain Welsh chorus
will sing for the lovers of good music
of Fargo.

HOMELESS ORPHAN
FOUND DESTITUTE
LITTLE 14.YEAR-oLD WAIF PICK
ED UP BY PoLIcE-PARENTs
ARE DEAD AND HE HAS NO
PLACE TO eo-WoRkED NEAR
cRooKsToN.

Wearing threadbare clothes, hardly
heavy enough for chilly summer
nights little 14-year- old Alfred Pet
erson, with no parents or no home,
without penny to buy food, and
withal presenting a pitiful condition,
was taken in by the police last eve
ming. The lad was picked up by the
Great Northern officer at the depot,
where he was found sleeping. At the
station last evening ne was cleaned up
some, given supper and a place to
sleep protected from the cold night
air.
In the police court this morning, he
told Judge Martin Ryan his story. For
four years-since 10 years old-he
has been making his way in the world
His only living relative is a brother in
the west from whom he receives no
assistance. Last summer he spent on
farm south of Crookston. He claims
that there was no more work to do
and he was forced to leave. He now
has nothing to show for his work.
More than little interest was taken
in his story by those who heard the
story. It was not a case where tenn
porary relief would do. The boy needs
a home where he can be brought up
in the proper manner. The court turn
ed the matter over to Charity Agent
McCracken.
