NOT A suicide
NOR White SLAVE
LITTLE MINoT GIRL WAS NOT A
WHITE SLAVE NOR ATTEMPT.
ED SUICIDE AS SOME WOULD
MAKE Outlaws PERFECTLY
HAPPY IN FARGO.

Under glazing headlines a Minot
newspaper yesterday carried story
to the effect that little Tessie Van
Wagner of Minot was an attempted
suicide in Fargo and limited to the
fact that she was In this city as a
white slave. The girl was under the
eye OF the Fargo police department
while here and there was no indica-
ton that she was white slave and
the story of the suicide is branded as
a misstatement by the friends of the
girl in Fargo.
Some time ago a woman and her
daughter, who had been living in Mi
not, both Of questionable character,
boarded the G. N. train for Fargo. On
the train with them was the little Van
Wagner girl. Police Commissioners
Vandenoever of Minot removed the
girl from the train and at the request
OF her brothers, sent her to sisters
school at Devils Lake.
At Christmas time she left the
school because of the fact that she did
not like the learning that she was re-
ceiving there, and went to Minneapolis
to visit an aunt. Then she came to
Fargo and secured a place in the
Matson restaurant on Front street
On her disappearance the Fargo po-
lice were notified and she was located
by Sergeant Bowers. She was al
lowed to continue her position and
during this time she was in no way
whatsoever connected with anyone in
the city of Ill repute so far as is
known, and was allowed to come and
go as she pleased.
The Minot police asked that she be
held here and the Fargo authorities
took her into custody, although not
arresting her. She stayed at the city
hall for a short time and won the
admiration of everyone by her CHEEKY
manner.
Nothing was heard from the magic
city police, so the local officials Sc
cured her a position at the Prescott
hotel. The Minot papers claim that
she became respondent while at this
place and tried to commit suicide.
Il never had q more CHEEKY person.

afternoon When told of the story of

RESPONSES ARE
NOT COMING fast
SUPERINTENDENT M'cRAcKEN OF
THE ASSOCIATED CHARITIES
SAYS THERE is MUCH DISTRESS
IN FARGO AT THE PRESENT
TIME.

superintendent McCracken of the
associated charities asks that all those
who have received circular letters ask
ing for renewals of their membership
in the organization will reply as soon
as possible.
"Out of the $50 letters that were
sent out from my department" said
Mr.. McCracken, 81 have received only
forty replies.
Let me say that there is a great
deal of distress in Fargo at the pres
ent time and the demands on the as
ISOLATED charities were never so great
as at the present time.
I'VE are needing food, fuel provi-
sions and clothing, and above all we
are needing work for the men and
women. There are many families in
this city who are actually suffering
because the heads thereof cannot get
work
"Of course, this dollar that you send
does not seem a great deal, but it will
go a long ways to assist in alleviating
the sufferings Of a family. Please be
as prompt as possible in sending in
your renewal Of membership"

Thomas who was brought back from
