Valet Tailor Leaves CITY.

E. Pingree, who has been conduct
ing the Valet tailoring and cleaning
establishment in the John Gund
building on Pacific avenue since
December last, left the city about
ten days ago, stating that he would
return June I.
He didn't return, and it is not
expected that he will either. for he
would only come back to find
number of anxious creditors ready
to interview him, including the
landlord. who has three months
rent coming. The building has
now been rented to J. ]. Ekander,
and he intends to open a first-class
tailor shop there in few days.

Private Ownership Comes Hial

AAVoSS SVVV4AS10M9P ~V1uC0 u4O0s
The city of Anoka is agitating
the question of taking over the
electric light plant and water works
of their city. The city there is
now paying $6,336 year for two
dozen street lights and few fire
hydrants, with no prospects Of re-
lief, 70 reduction of rates, and the
citizens there think that munich
pal plant would be a great improve
ment over existing conditions.
The city of Willmar is now sup
posed to be paying it's own plant
SIS ,468 a year for 10 street arc
lights, 154 32-candle power street
lights and 38 fire hydrants. There
are some people with an unreason-
able prejudice against everything
that stands for city ownership who
claim that these prices are entirely
too high, but it seems from the ex.
perience of Anoka that private
ownership comes higher yet.

HOOSIER TRA|LED
HIS MAN TO MEXICO
Bones of SwindIer Bleaching
on the BeSeft--victim
Returns Satisfied.
<W

Anderson. Ind, Nov 1s-Knowing that
the bones of the man who swindled him
of $500 lie bleaching in the sands of the
southern California desert, Newton A.
Grabill, a mill owner of Daleville. re-
turned home today, after a 10,OO0-mile
chase, and found that his creditors, be
lieving him dead, had petitioned the Del
aware county court to wind up his es-
tate. Grabill is p years Old.
One day last June Grabill was ap-
preached at his mill by man who said
he represented a brokerage firm in Chi
cago. The stranger had prospectuses OF a
gold mine in Colorado ana persuaded era
bill that it would be a profitable invest
ment for his savings. Grabill gave the
man s., 900 in cash and made an appoint
ment to meet him in Indianapolis and
turn over the remainder of the amount
he intended to invest.
At Indianapolis GrabiI learned that he
had been tricked. He took up the trail
of the swindler. First it led to St. Louis
and then to Denver. From that city TO
lowed. The confidence man knew the
victim was on the track and he doubled
through the southwestern states.
. At length the sWindler crossed the Dor
der into Mexico, with which country he
evidently was familiar. Grabin engaged
a Mexican detective, and the two fol-
lowed the swindler into the California des-
ert. The pursuit wore Grabill out, and
he stopped, but the detective pressed on.
Within q few weeks the detective re-
turned to Grabill and gave him proof that
he had caught up with the swindler at a
lonely ranch house; that they fought and
that ne shot the swindler dead His
body was buried in the desert.
Satisfied that in this final deal he was
getting his moneys worth. Grabill paid
the detective and set out for Indiana.

GIRL ON TRIAL FOR
NUMBERING LOVER
BioodStained Garments Cause
Screams and SobS in the
Court Room.
E.X


auburn, Cal, wv lS.-With a heart
rending scream, Alma Bell, accused of
the murder of Joseph Armes, fell into a
violent outburst Of sobs in the court room
today when the blood stained garments
of her dead lover were introduced as evil
dence and identified by Frank Armes a
brother of the dead man. The grewsome
exhibits moved Mrs. Mary +. Armes, his
mother. to tears, and for several minutes
court proceedings stopped while the two
women sought to control their emotions.
Charges Of misconduct were made al
most at the start Of the trial against As
slstant Prosecutor George ". Hamilton,
by Attorney L. L. Chamberlain for the
defense, when the prosecutor in his OPEN
ing address announced that if any mat
ter tending to discredit Alma Bells moral
character were introduced it would have
to come from the defense.
Judge Arnot promptly instructed Ham
lton to cOnfine his address to what he
expected to prove.
Frank Ames a brother of the slain
man, was the first witness and identified
the gOre-stained shirt which the prose-
cutor exhibited as that which his brother
had worn when he left the cabin with
Alma Bell.
Alma Bell today received many letters
from men ana women. some Of them con-
tanning money, and almost all EXPRESSED
the hope that she would be acquitted
Letters Of quite another tone were re
celVed by the Rev. J. w. Winkley and
members OF the Armes family Some of
these had Black Hand signatures and sa IN
in substance that unless the Armes fam
lily ceased their zeal for her prosecution
that the writers would come to Auburn
and Kill them. Other letters asked money
and promised to prevent the ffvengeancS
OF the Black Hand" from falling upon the
family II the money were not produced at
