Lumber ScaIer Charged With Passing
Worthless Check.

WV bUiCSS NlNNN.
Samuel G. jennings, a lumber scaler,
who was arrested last week at onto
nagon, Mich, was brought to the city
this morning by a deputy sheriff and
hooked at police headquarters on a
charge Of larceny, says the Duluth
Herald. He denied his guilt when ar
raigned in police court and asked for
an examination, which was set for
Thursday afternoon.
Jennings is alleged to have passed
a worthless check for 500 on the
Quayle-Larsen company on West SUI
perior street, oct. ?. II appears that
he went into the store and purchased
In stove, rendering the check, bearing
the name of Swallow & Hopkins, in
payment and receiving his change in
cash.
Jennings is said to have been in
such hurry to get the stove that the
company hired special dray to make
the delivery. When the team appeared
at the address on Garfield avenue
which Jennings is claimed to have
given, the driver found the house va
cant. Whereupon he naturally return
ed the stove and the firm notified the
police.
In the meantime Jennings had made
his getaway with the cash which he
had received from the company. He
was located in n lumber camp near
Ontonagon and a deputy sheriff was
sent for him. The police say that he
denies all knowledge of the transac-
ton but they are confident that they
have the right man i'm custody.

FIRE IN A BARN.
Stable Of Captain Dunn Catches Fire
From Unknown Cause.

\ stable on Dakotah street owned by
Capt William A. Dunn caught fire at
about o'clock this morning from
some unknown cause, and burned for
about an hour before it was eXtin-
guished. The fire was first noticed by
someone passing, who turned in an
alarm. The fire was located in the
rear OF the barn, and burned through
partition, scorching the walls but not
burning through to the floor below,
where horses were stabbed. Captain
Dunn is at a loss TO account for the
origin Of the fire, as there is no stove
in the place and no one had entered
the building, so far as he knows, since
10 o'clock last night He thinks the
barn must have been set on fire. The
loss IS fully covered by insurance.

sition to Menominee, agreeing to pay

Marquette football enthusiasts who

out exception Of the opinion that New

Of the race for the high school cham
pionship Of the upper peninsula and
that Menominec's title is an empty
honor until that team has beaten
Newberry. AS Newberry has offered
to pay all the expenses Of a game with
Menominee, the latter's refusal to play
with the hospital town team looks very
much like a case Of cold feet.

MAIL CLERKS ON A STRIKE
Claim They Are OverWorked By
Mr.. Hitchcock's Order.

Tracy, Mimi, January 16--Eight-
cen postal clerks on the Tracy and
Pierre, Pierre and Rapid City and
Brookings and Pierre divisions on
the Chicago and Northwestern road
have struck against the orders of
the second assistant postmaster gen.
eral that whenever vacancies occur
on the line over which they are
routed such vacancies shall be kept
up by the regular clerks until the
department makes appointments.
All the clerks on the divisions
mentioned have refused to comply
with the order. Ten OF them are in
conference here today with w. II.
DennistOn Of Aberdeen, S. d., chief
clerk Of this postal division. They
refuse to recede from the position
they have taken, and it is regarded
as settled that they and their eight
colleagues on the divisions in ques-
ton will be dismissed from the ser
vice.
The vacancy in question is on the
run from Tracy to Huron, S. D.,
and return. The mail train from the
west and the one from the east
meet here at 2:30 a. m. The eight
cen clerks contend that to maintain
this run without an additional quota
OF men will cause them a loss of
$500 each in year. Some of the
clerks live in this city, some at
Huron, and others at various points
along the route. They will stand
as one man against the order, which
they regard as unjust and arbitrary.
The clerks assert that they are
worked hard at all hours of the
twenty-four to keep up their regular
runs, without attempting TO fill va
cancies. Because of the extra time
required of them, the mail service
along the Chicago and Northwestern
in this section is demoralized to a
considerable extent. Patrons COM
plain that mail is frequently carried
by stations and not delivered for a
day or so after it is due.
The clerks admit that the situa-
ton is annoying to the public, but
declare that the blame rests upon
the government department and it's
parsimony.

CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY
Charles Adams Released; Did Not
Rob Seaforth Bank.

Redwood Falls, January 49,
Charles Adams, the man who was
last summer located by a detective
of the Bank Protective association
and subsequently placed under ar
rest by Sheriff Schueller, charged
with being the man who held up the
Sheriff and Mr.. Burmeister with n
gun and escaped under sensational
circumstances, after having robbed
the SeafOrth bank, was made free
man last Monday, soon after the
court convened. The motion for his
dismissal was made by the county
attorney, after Mr.. Emerson had
made thorough investigation OF
the proofs TO establish an alibi and
had satisfied himself that the ar
rest was the elimination of a rather
unusual case of mistaken identity.
AT the time Attorney C. T. How.
ard was called to defend the man
Adams, he became clearly satisfied
that Adams. while admitting himself
criminal with prison record, was
ito' III DIT lUe tlTG or the
Seaforth bank robbery and the spec
tacular escape of the robber. HAY.
ing followed up the clues as to iden.
tity suggested by his client and
turned some of them over to the
county attorney, the latter found
that the criminal had at the time of
the robbery worn a beard instead
OF being clean-shaven, and that he
had witnesses to prove his presence
in Wisconsin during the time of the
Seaforth raid and escape. Being
satisfied that further prosecution of
Adams, who undoubtedly possessed
number of points of similarity in
common with the real burglar want
ed, would utterly fail to convict, the
case was dismissed as above stated
on the ground of lack of evidence
and the court ordered the sheriff to
return the prisoner to the place
where he arrested him.
