CHECK SECURED
BY FOULKES IS
GIVEN TO OLSON

Cando, N. D., Dec. pa check for
$1,000 secured about a year & by
Geo. ". Foulkes of st. Paul, special
agent of the customs department OF
the United States, from Carl Olson OF
Candos to owe duties alleged to have

has been returned to him.
On plea that the money was IL
legally extorted from Carl Olson, and
tnat ne was not guilty OF smuggling
any articles or bringing any articles
into h country from Europe than
those on which he had paid duty. and
which he was entitled to bring in free
Oh duty MI. Olson secured from the
customs department an order which
brought the check to him.
Caused a Sensation.
The giving of this check to Inspec-
tor Foulkes caused somewhat of a
sensation at the time, the story
breaking" about the same time that
the customs officers were supposed to
have made q big seizure Of Jewels in a
Minneapolis safety deposit vault.
There was a good deal of interest just
at that time in smuggling affairs, and
the Olson matter became a part of
the whole setting.
G. H. Olson was in Europe when In
spector Foulkes made his visit to Can
do. From Carl Olson, aged rs, he was
successful in securing a check for
$1,000 drawn in favor of the customs
department to cover duties which it
was charged by the inspector had been
avoided by his father.
He Denied Smuggling.
When the elder Olson returned from
Europe, he denied empt1atically hav-
ing smuggled any articles into the
country; and at once laid his side Of
the case before the customs depart
ment, charging extortion upon the
part of Inspector Foulkes. The return
of the check is the result, it requiring
nearly q year to get the matter
Strengthened out.
The check was returned to Mr.. OIL
son through District United States
Atty. Edward Engerud of Fargo.
Claimed Articles Exempt.
c. H. Olson, against whom the
claim of smuggling was laid by In
spector Foulkes, is an importer of
horses and only two months ago came
from Europe with a whole trainload of
horses. He contended that articles
which were claimed to have been
struggled were brought with him on
his various trips from Europe while
engaged in the importing business,
and that at no time did he carry any
articles which were not declared.
Jewelry made up the collection of ar
ticles charged by Inspector Foulkes
as having been smuggled.

other branches of sport, will occupy the
attention Of the Washington A. A.
members this fall. 1t is thought in
eXpedient to attempt to organize a foot
ball eleven this year, but one may be
seen on the gridiron next year. The
committee on athletics is composed OF
George Hamilton. the former Central
High star; Daniel Hassett. j. Hassett.
John Mahoney. Percy Given. the former
Georgetown football star, and j.
Keeler.
At the second meeting of the associa-
ton yesterday at the Fredonia it was
announced that the enrolment now
contains almost three hundred names of
athletes and those interested in athletics
of all kinds Though 1t was expected
that the constitution and bylaws would
be ready for adoption, the committee in
charge of this work had been unable to
complete Its work. Only a part of the
legislation was ready, just enough TO
govern the preliminary workings of the
association. Next Sunday this com
mittee will meet once more. and is cX-
peCted to have its work completed by
September s, when the entire body will
gather to adopt the constitution and
bylaws.
