CONNOLLY is IN BASTILE.
Man From Sioux City Has Trouble
And Was Given Ten Days
On the Hill

Anthony Connolly, supposedly OF
Sioux City was arrested last evening
by Officers A. B. Johnson and Mic
Thilgen on a charge of disorderly
conduct. He and Tom Mcdonald, and
another man engaged in squabble
at the Union depot, and Mcdonald
claims that Connolly assaulted him.
The officers were called to make
the arrest, and Connolly and Nc
Donald were arrested and taken to
the police station. Connolly's story
of the affair was as follows: I'VE
were having a little trouble on the
depot platform, and Mcdonald called
my partner a name My partner
then struck him, and soon after the
policemen came and put the three
of us under arrest. Mcdonald and
my pal went all right, but ! resisted.
They finally dragged me over to the
station, and Mcdonald and my pal
came inside. While they were search
ing me, my pal skipped out, and
when the officers were about to
take him back to the cell he was
gone"
Connolly put up quite struggle,
and the two officers had all they
could do to haul him along with
chain come alongs' on each wrist
He would allow them to drag him q
few feet, and then he would throw
his legs out in front of him and
trip the officers. The affair drew {
large crowd, and the entire gather
ing followed the struggling men tt
the station. In the tussel, it is prob
able that the other man who really
did the striking, according to Con
nolly's story, was forgotten and hi:
presence was not missed until it wa!
too late. Both Connolly and his pa
had red hair, so it is possible tina
Mcdonald got them mixed. He sail
that red headed man struck him
and put the charge against Connol
! ly, but it is possible that the real OF
fender was his pal. Connolly plea
guilty to the charge of disorderl
conduct and was given ten days o.

insurgents in Minnesota Have
Formed New Society
f. F. ELLSWORTH is DIRECTOR
D. p. O. NeilI of Thief River Falls Made
President; Temporary Head
quarters at Little Falls

st. Paul, July 2.-Lively discus
sion. in which the word ''trickery"
figured prominently, marked the con-
vention of Minnesota Modern Wood
men held at the Ryan hotel yester-
day. Both state and national lead
ers of the Modern Woodmen OF Am
erica were represented and both
sides joined in picking flaws in the
law which provides for the erection
of an independent society.
Leaders of the insurgent movement
contended that the law had been so
worded that it would work hard
ship on both the Modern Woodmen
and the proposed Minnesota society
by forcing the prospective members
of the new organization to sever
their connection with the national
organization before they signed the
incorporation petition.
Discussion was hottest on this
point of cancelling connection with
the parent organization. John L..
Sundeen of Minneapolis insisted that
it would be impossible to secure the
required $4,000 signers of the incor-
poration petition if this interpreta-
ton of the law were accepted. Other
speakers were of the opinion that
the signers could readily be secured,
but insisted that the clause in the
act was put there by ''trickery."
Arranged Separation.

George Fresch, ST. Louis Man,
Supported Two Families
WIDOWS ATTEND THE FUNERAL
Check Made Out to First Spouse Put
Second One Wise TO His
Double Life

st. Louis, July 2.-For the last
three wears. two women knew both
were married to George Fresch, Tor
ty-two years old, at one Tune
wealthy grain broker, who died SUD
denly of apoplexy at the home OF
one of his wives, in this city, where
he lived as George French" They
also knew he maintained two fam
lilies, and had a child by each union.
This story was told by Mrs. Mary
z. Fresch, forty-three years old.
She is the lawful widow.
Eighteen years ago Fresch married
Miss Mary E. Ryan of Boston. A
son was born year afterward. He
was christened George, after his
father. Nine years ago, Fresch be-
gan his relations with the other
woman.
A boy was born, and he, too, was
named George To the boys mother
Fresch was known as French, how
ever.
How He Was Discovered.
Later, il is said, he was legally
married to the second woman, but
kept both his wives ignorant OF his
double life. He continued to live in
this manner, supporting both homes,
until three years ago, when check
written for his first wife was found
in his pocket by his second wife.
He then told both of his double life.
For some years after Fresch's Sec
ond marriage he was exceedingly
prosperous. He dealt heavily in
grain and at one time was worth
100000
In the last two years he lost heav-
lily. Within the last year he let two
insurance policies, one for $4,000
and another for $4,000, lapse. His
losses decreased his holdings so his
total estate now is valued at only
$500: --'ss - : - 'f--fs =, $500
First Wife Viii Make Fight.
The first wife says she will make
a fight for all her husband left.
George Fresch, seventeen years old
son by the first wife, says his father
paid his expenses through college
and provided him with good clothes
He, too, knew of his fathers double
life
The second wife yesterday was
preparing hastily to vacate the house
She said she was going to store her
belongings and leave st. Louis. She
refused to tell of her past and would
not admit she married Fresch. Her
son, however, says his mother was
married to him nine years.
Fresch died last Sunday, soon af
ter returning from a business TRIP
to Keokuk, Ia. He arrived at his
Ann avenue home at $3.50 a. m
Shortly afterward she called neigh
bors. Fresch was found on the flool
unconscious. Dr. Martin CHASER wa:
summoned, but before he arrived
Fresch died. DR.. CHASER pronounced
death due to apoplexy.
