INDICT AN OFFICIAL ANOTHER OFFICER OF THE COl NTY HEAItS KHOU THE GRAND JIRV THIS ONE IS A. P. SWANSTROM Chief Deputy in County TrvnNurer AroNiii'i. Ofllee He In Accused of Perjury in Connection With tbe Order of M Innehaha and Also of Stealing m<:so .*? the Fund* About Which He Te*tlHcd. Andrew P. Swanstrom, chief deputy in the office of the county treasurer, wag arrested late yesterday afternoon on two indictments charging him with grand larceny in the first degree and perjury in connection with the affairs of the defunct Order of Mlnnehaha, of which he was supreme secretary. He was arraigned before Judge Kelly, pleaded not guilty, and was released under $2,250 bonds, furnished by Coun ty Auditor W. R. Johnson and Fred I Hammer, private secretary to Mayor Kiefer. Two secret indictments have ■also been returned by the grand jury against Dr. Samuel R. Ginner, supreme I president of the order, who is suppos ed to be in hiding at Windsor, Ont. When the grand jury filed into Judge Kelly's court room yesterday at 3 o'clock and handed In a bunch of in dictments there were four secret ones in the lot. Bench warrants were im mediately issued for the arrest of the indicted persons. In some way Swan strom heard that an indictment had been returned against him and went up i to the office of the county attorney, where he was found by Deputj* Sheriff Robert, who made the arrest. Swanstrom took the news philosoph ically, and asked to be arraigned as soon as possible in order that he might furnish bondsmen. After a consulta tion with County Treasurer Arosln, he appeared in Judge Kelly's court room j about 5 o'clock, accompanied by Fred ! I Hammer and County Auditor John- ' son. After a prea of not guilty had been i entered in each charge the court fixed the bonds at $750 on the larceny j charge and $1,500 on the charge of per- ! jury. Johnson and Hammer qualified i as bondsmen, and Swanstrom left the I court room apparently much dejected, j The specific charges under which the Indictments were found are that on Jan. 20, 189S, Swanstrom made oath be- ! fore one St. John, a notary public, I that the order at that time had $650 in j cash balances deposited in various ! I banks, knowing the same to be un- j j true; The other allegation charges the I larceny of the $650 in question on Jan. I 1, 1898. "I have nothing to say about my ar rest," said Mr. Swanstrom, as he left the court room. "I am confident that Ihe charges against me will all be straightened out, and that I shall be j able to prove my innocence." WIDOW HAS GROWN COLD. And John Crapney Hot Grown Wlarr nnd In Himaelf Attain. Probate Judge Bazille yesterday la- ! sued an order removing the disability j of John Crapsey, who was declared in- J competent by the former Judge on | May 10, 1897. The order was issued on j a petition presented to the court by j AVilliam Crapsey, a son, who has had charge of the person and estate of the I Incompetent. Crapsey, who is eighty-six years old, ] fell in love with a young widow in j April, 1897. He was possessed of an estate valued at $1,500, and the chil- I dren, of whom there were several, did ; not approve of the May and December I attachment. Crapsey announced his ! Intention of securing a marriage ll j cense, but before he could get around j for the document Alice Mcßean, a ' j daughter, filed a petition in district ! court, asking that the old man be de | clared incompetent. The order was I granted and she was appointed guar- ' dian. On Oct. 14, 1897, she was suc ceeded in the guardianship by William j Crapsey. who filed the petition for the ' restoration to competency. At the hearing yesterday it was tes tified that the widow who had ensnared Mr. Crapsey's affections had grown cold in her reeling towards him. and as Crapsey had also recovered there was no longer any necessity for the restric tion imposed by the court.

Mr. Jacobaon Attack* n Bill, and It Is Delayed. The question cf how far attorneys should b« protected against dismissal of cases by plain tiffs was discussed in the house, yesterday in the committee of the whole. The bill of Mr ?^% (Kfi? V SL Lov!!a -) am-endlng section 6408 General Statutes of 1894 so as to provide that actions could be dismissed at any time before trial with the written consent of the attorney of record. Mr. Dwinnell (Rep.), of Hennepln. said the measure was a good tme. It frequently hap pened that aflter a case had be;n prepared at considerable expense and titr.e the plaintiff took the matter tn his own hands a.nd effected a settlement without She knowledge of the attorney. Mr. Abbott (Rap.l. of Farlbault, agreed with the member from Hennepln and rei'ited a case in which he was the attorney when a detec tive from St. Paul, in the disguise of a wood smwyer h«d settled a ease for $200 in which the plaintiff oould have scoured $5,000. The araendmtnt to the law was to cover cases of this klr.d and protect the attorneys. Mr. Jacolson (Rap.), of Lac qul Parle, was opposed to the passage of the bill, claiming itat the parties to an action Bhould have the right at any time to sett'r. As far as his otwrvatior. went the lawyers were able to trotei-t themselves. The b!l! might be very properly entitltd an act to protect attorneys The author of the bill did not press the measure and progress was reported. THREE CHARGES PAIL.

Noble Woman Who Sheds Her Inflnenoe I'pon the Heart of Man a* a Perfumed H(n« Waftit ltd FriiK'i'iincc I pou the Summer Air vviuiiiiax Eplatle. William Olson, who is at the county ! jail, under sentence to the reformatory i for assaulting Miss Clara Rick, at Arundel street and I^aurel avenue, sev eral weeks ago, addressed the follow - | ing letter yesterday to the victim of his wrath: Miss Clara Rick— My Dear Madam: 1 have no doubt you will be somewhat surprised to receive a letter from one whom you have I every reason t»- believe would be the last | one from whom .you nrjght expect It. It is, 1 nevertheless, a fact that 1 take a secret | pleasure in allowing :nyseir ths indulgence | to write you these few lines nnd endeavor j to explain to you. if possible, mv conduct , upon that lamentable occasion when I in flicted upon you so much unnecessary pain. My reasons for waiting this long, after sentence, before writing, are that I did not wish you to believe, that I was in ar,y way trying to Influence your feelings to my ad vantage. But now that sentence has been | passed upon me, I think you will plainly see j that there can be no possible motive for my writing to you, other than to Inform you of my feelings of pity tor your painful condition. You may doubt the sincerity of my feelings. You may think me incapable of experiencing the slightest ripple of emotion. And, yet, dear madam, there are none who grieve acre than I do, that you should feel on« moment of pain; and I hope and pray that the Divine HeaJer will grant you a speedy recovery and restore you to your former con dition. Your statements to the various officials re [ la ting to my conduct upon the night of my t arrest were correct, with but one exception, ) and that was of such Blight Importance that I attribute It to the confused and nervous i state of your mtnd, rather than any intention ! a] misrepresentation on your part I believe you to be an honest girl, and as : such I honor and respect you. I am not i Insensible nor Indifferent to the many good and noble cuallties of your charming sex. I h«ve sisters and a mother of my own. But, my dear madam, like yourself, they represent a high standard of womanhood. My being i thrills at the thought of a good and noble woman ; a woman who stands in the sunlight of purity and on ■whose brow truth is crowned with a diadem studded' with, stars. Such a woman sheds her Influence uoun the heart of man as a perfumed rose wafts its frag rance upon rhe.suminer air. I eouvd, dear madam, present to your view , a picture the very opposite of that depicted I above. But I will not allow myself to be- I lleve (hat It would be at all agreeable to I you. The transformation of a beautiful and 1 Innocent woman, possessed of many amiable I qualities. Into an adventuress and a traitorous 1 would, I believe, be far from entertaining to a girl of your excellent character, and yet ! such la the character of the womau for whom ) I Intended that ftl-dlrected blow which caua- J ed you so much suffering and which will make ; me grieve to the last moment of my life. If, ■ as the Good Book says, God tempers the wind I to the shorn lamb, I cannot understand why ! He did not paralyze' tie uplifted hand that i was about to strike an Innocent woman. Had He done so. how much mental and physical suffering it would 'have spared us both. The mind of man may be likened to a great stage, capable of producing many curious representations. First, boasting reason strides forth with a firm sten and open brow, confident In the superiority of its own merits. Then comes judgment, seat ed upon a conspicuous elevation, passing its j opinion upon the follies and bedlam passions i of human nature, and force? them into sub ' mission by the very power of Its superiority. ! But oncp let fretful anger and luring resents ' ment take the sent of sober judgment, ard withering jealousy force boasting reason be hind the scene, and then it is that the mind I of man displays .the nature of a brute rather J than the rational p-on^stency of a human be. i Ing. If these passions always spent th?!r fury upon the guilty it might be some-thing to thefr favor. Hut they do not. Unreason- Ing folly like Judas lecarlot betrays the in nocent more often than it nunishes the guilty. You and I. my dear medam, never met but once, and then I exhibited the nctions of a brute. Should it plea^ Almighty God i to ever have us meet again I hope to allow I myself the t>lea»ure of acting the character i of a man. In aHI other regards I submit rcy I conduct to the charitable disposition of a j lady whom I- shell never cease to honor en« i esteem. I hope you will respect my request in r.sk- I Ing you to treat this letter as strictly per i sonai. A few lines stating that you havn rocMved this letter will nlare me under added obltirationß. And if you should ever arrive at thiat period of time when you can truth fuliy say "I forgive you " It would make me as happy as It is possible for one to be in my wretched condition. I am. my dear madam, with kind awmrances and a heart 1 fllied with sentiment of the highest regards, your sincere well-wisher. — William Olaon. Ramsey County Jail, St. Paul, Feb. 6, 1899.

SEVEN ALARMSJTURNED |N. Firemen Had a n»«j Day and Suf fered From the Cold. Members of the fire department suffered considerably from the severe cold yesterday, as the department was called upon to re spond to seven alarms during the day. In the swift rides to the fires, and the work about the buildings where the blazes had gained some headway, the firemen sustained frost-bitten noses, frozen ears and frosted fingers, in a number of instances. First As sistant Chief Martin had his cheek frozen, while Second Assistant Chief Irvine's ear were frost bitten. The only fires of consequence were on the West side. Shortly after 9 o'clock the de partment was called to the two-story tene ment house at 53 Custer street, where a threatening blaze was burning on the first floor. L. A. La Roche and family occupied the first floor and the family of David Cor coran lived on the second floor. The dam age amounted to $400. Half an hour later the department was again called to the West side. This fire wa3 in the frame dwelling at 88 Wood street, oc cupied by Otto Gelsenhelmer. The loss was $700. The building was Insured. The other fires were small', one being in the basement of M. J. O' Nell's plumbing Bhop, on Sixth street, near Minnesota. FELL THROUGH THE ICE. Mrs. J. P. Ilnrna Har m Narrow Es cape From a Watevy Grave. Mrs. J. P. Burns, living at 126 Falrfleld ave nue, fell through the Ice Into the river, near the Wabasha street bridge, yesterday, and was only rescued with difficulty after she had remained in the cold water nearly fifteen minutes. She was walking across the river on the Ice, when a place worn thin by the current, gave way beneath her weight and precipitated her into the water. Mrs. Burns managed to catch bold of the edge of the ice and called for help. Several railroad men went to her aid, and with the assistance of J. Butt and E. Stodacher, employes of the West Publishing company, succeeded In res cuing her. "To remain young you must move about. You must «c new faces, new siurroundlues, and rub up against new people," remarked a gentleman comfortetoly seated In the library buffet s-moking cat on the splendid Pioneer Limited of the Milwaukee- road, Chicago to St. Paul, the other night. "Once yo-u begin to realiza that you are In a rut, that your hablta are so set as to make it a matter of dif ficulty to chlange, depend upon it, you are but on-e remove from the beginming of 'grow-, ing old,' and the sooner you 'head It off' the better. I make it a point, as often as my business wil! allow, to nin up Into the North west for a few days, get a whiff of the brac ing air and a change of scene, and return home feeling a year younger. Since tha Mil waukee road, always noted for Its superb service, put on the Pioneer Limited, my trip* have been unusually delightful." BATCH OF BILLS ALLOWED. 'Water Board O.
