ONE BARNES IN HOOK;
SUGAR IS THE CAUSE
Troubles of Chair Repairer Pile
la Up Quite Rapidly.

From Mondays Daily.
Because of his desire for sweets
and especially sugar, chair re-
Barnes, is now marOoned from
friends, in the city jail. Last Sat
urday, freight handlers in the North.
western freight depot claim they
saw Barnes take a sack of sugar,
and had him arrested. Barnes states
that he was eating lunch in a box
car at the time, and that he had not
taken the sugar sack ten feet away,
when the trucksters came up to him
and made him return the sugar. He
said he had no intention of steal
ing the sweets.
Chief Starts Investigation.
However, Chief of Police Donahue
began an investigation, and found
that Barnes had a contract with the
Mankato Commercial college to wire
their chairs. He is said to be an
expert chair repairer and hence the
contract was granted. But he took
half a dozen chairs to one of the
local secondhand stores and tried
to sell them for thirty-five cents
each, so it is alleged. The second
hand man identified the chairs when
they were shown to him again, SO it
is claimed.
Chief of Police Donahue stated
this morning that the Northwestern
agent does not want to swear out
a warrant for Barnes, but he himself
will do it, if the Northwestern agent
refuses. Barnes is now in the city
Jail, where he is waiting the out
come of his alleged activities.
Sam Edserton Released.
Sam Edgerton, the negro porter
with the Boston Boomers, who got
into a mixup Saturday after he had
struck Harry Leish on the eye with
his fist, was released yesterday, and
left for Chicago, after friends had
secured transportation for him. Ed
gerton claims that he was given the
dirty deal all the whole way through.
He said that the manager of the
Boston Boomers had borrowed mon
ey from him, and he had no hope
now of having it returned.
He claimed that the manager was
afraid of him now, and Saturday
night the reporter noticed the man,
ager asking numerous questions from
the local police about automatic re
volvers, as he seemed bent upon
purchasing one for self-protection
The negro made many friends while
here, and those who learned OF the
mixup, seem to think that the man
ager really was at fault.
Barnes was arraigned on charge
of petit larceny. He pleaded guilty
and was given fourteen days in jail

WANTS HUGHES NAMED
Brother of David and John B. Richards
Writes Letter to New York
Newspaper.

r. ]. Richards of Unadilla Forks,
NJ Y, a brother Of David and John
B. Richards of this city wrote a
communication to the Utica, New
York, Press, in which he advocates
the nomination of Charles E. Hughes
for president. He wrote as follows
Il have taken keen interest in
the articles written in your valuable
paper regarding the candidacy OF
M. Taft and Mr.. Roosevelt on the
republican ticket. Mr.. Roosevelt
was my hero, and the embodiment
of common sense. He also repre-
scented the principles which l be
lieved were essential to the welfare
of our republic. l admired his pc
sition as pacificator. and the firm
ness with which he grasped the
reins of government. l believed his
word was as the law of the Modes
and Persians.
But my idol Is now shattered
and broken. He has not only gone
back on his word, but has become q
demagogue, seeking only for sell
interest and power, placing himself
squarely with Bryan and La Toilette
The principles he advocates are
revolutionary and their success
would be the undermining of repre-
sentative government.
1.-The recall is one of the most
Aooranf and vanomnus attacks or
the principles of the most dignified
and important of the three depart
ments of our government.
IF the judicial was not elective
in part and bipartisan, there might
be some fimsy reason for upholdins
this impolitic issue. His opinion or
the decision of the courts was un
wise and savored of egotistical bonn
bast, while his attack on the presi
dent has certainly been uncalled fol
and unlike the Teddy of the past
The terms which he has used were
not those of amity and peace, but
revengeful and ungentlemanly, un
worthy the ex-president.
while Mr. Taft has also lost al
opportunity of again being the chic
executive by displaying the same
morbid and ambitious desire for at
tanning his purpose as Mr.. Roose
velt,. and therefore has fallen il
the same ditch, never to rise again

and virtue of these two men, be
