Former Police Official Hands Over Case
to Chief Pond.

From Mondays Daily.
Former Police Officer E. M. Call last
evening returned the suit case of the
Flandreau Indian boys to the police
station. The case is in good condition,
and will be held there for the owners
i~ntcndent of the Indian school at Flan-
dreau, asking what his wishes are in
regard to the suit case and watch.
This action of Mr.. Call closes the
incident of the suit case, it is hoped.
Mayor Meyer does not intend to
make any reply to the letters sent him
Saturday by Messrs. Call and Ed
wards, feeling that to do so would be
merely to open up a proftless contro-
verSy.

 According to Clerk Charles Schraps, IT,, of the hotel, Bryan had no right to take that bath. He was not a guest of the hatel
 "He has been coming into the hotel on and off for a month past said the clerk, and I've repeatedly ordered him to keep away. When he came ill at 3 o'clock yesterday morning and wanted to go to the room of MT. Jacobs, one of our guests, told the elevator man to refuse to take him up.
 "He hung around for while. Finally I missed him. Assuming that he had got above stairs 1 sent the boys scurrying through the hotel. They found him in a bath on the seventh hoor.-New York Sun.
