From FRIDAYS Daily,

From Fridays Daily.
Three young men who travel und
er several aliases have come to grief
because they had too strong desire
to possess good handbags, so it is
: alleged. Yesterday James Opie of
! Austin, Mimi, and c. II. Hoover of
: Des Moines, Ia, who were guests at
the Ben Pay hotel reported to the
. police that their two handbags were
! stolen from the check room Of the
; hotel. Suspicion at once fell upon
! three young men who had registered
at the hotel. One of the young men
asked how far it was to Lake Crys-
tai and Madelia, and this gave the
officers a clew to the direction the
trio had taken. Marshal Ben Davis
of Lake Crystal was telephoned q
description of the young men. He
located them at one OF the hotels in
that city, and on instructions from
Sheriff Osten placed two Of them
under arrest Sheriff Osten and
Chief of Police Hilgers drove to Lake
Crystal and brought two OF the sus-
two missing suitcases in their pos
session and two others. When they
| were about to leave the Mutt hotel
at Lake Crystal one of the trio pick
ed up a suitcase belonging to j. r.
Kennedy of Sioux City, but the own
er happened to be right there and
got his property back. It is und
erstood that these same men while
at Rochester. Mimi. attempted to
steal a grip from a hoteA

At the Ben Pay Hotel the men re-
gistered as NJ. r. Rider, H. l. Law
son, and J. J. McCleary when taken
into custody they gave the names Of
Carlton B. Welsh, J. W. Davis and
lames Carney Of Rochester. Papers
found on the persons Of the suspects
would indicate that their right nam
es are Thomas ]. Meyers, Carlton
Welsh and J. w. Davis, who are So
liciting subscriptions for magazines.
Their credentials would indicate that
their home town is New Kensington,
Pennsylvania.
Marshal Ben Davis and Mayor E.
