IS SENTENCED
stole About 5000 From Man With
Whom He Was Drlnkins-Down-
fall Due to Bad Company.

Harry Foster, a well appearing
young fellow was sentenced to the
~penitentiary, today. by Judge Nye, on
a plea of guilty to a charge Of larceny
in the second degree.
Al week or so ago Foster, with some
other men were drinking in a saloon
on First avenue south. Among them
was one man who was carelessly dis
playing a roll of money, All Of the
men were more or less intoxicated. The
man with the money laid his roll on
the counter and Foster picked 1t up
and went away with il, and as he
was crossing over to Fargo he threw
the pocketbook, which had contained
the money, over the bridge into the
river. From Fargo Foster made his
way to East Grand Forks where he
was caught by Chief OF Police
oLaughlin OF Moorhead.
Foster had been having a gay time
with the money he had stolen. The
prisoner was brought back to Moor
head to face the charge Of robbing one
named Austin, was held to the dis
trict court and later asked the county
attorney to allow him to plead guilty.
In answer to the usual questions,
before Judge Nye, Foster said he was
born in 1876 in Queens road, West
Croydon, London, England, and had
learned the trade of a carpenter. His
parents were dead and in coming to
America he first settled in Canada.
He said he was injured on the should
err, three or four years ago and since
has been unable to do hard work. He
contributed hiit downfall to drinking
more than he ought to have done and
mixing with bad companions. He said
he should not have committed the
crime if he had been sober and he felt
that if he had not picked the money
which was nearly all loose on the
counter somebody else would have done
so.

whirI at the game rather than keep
the house dark.
Last highland for the rest of the
week-the great Albini- Avolo shows
are the attraction. There was a fair
house last night, notwithstanding the
other two vaudeville performances.
Albini presented a number Of won
derful illusions, magical and humor-
GUS tricks that made a big hit with
the audience. His illusion tricks are
especially mysterious and puzzling.
They are original with him and hold
the interest of the audience.
The four AVOIDS compose q xyIo-
phone quartette that is not only novel
but musical. Some OF their selections
created a great deal Of enthusiasm
and they responded to numerous en-
cores.
The four Allen sisters have q neat
I singing and dancing act. Their Irish
| dances scored big with the audience.
Onetta, the little Arabian lady, has
an unusual dancing turn that must
be seen to be appreciated
Mile. de Valance has a splendid
contraito voice and her selections were
encored.
