Grant Frazier Behind Bars
on Postoffice Forgeries
Committed Last Year
PARTNER OVER THE ROAD
Climax of a. Scries of Ingenious
Frauds HcNiilts in Arrest of Prin
cipal Carpenter
in Penitentiary.
Grant Frnzier. implicated in the forgery
tcv which Dwight Carpenter, of Minne
niMjlis, was sent to the penitentiary last
January, has been apprehended in Mil
waukee, aivl United States Marshal
Grnnshaw received custody of the prison
er last evening. The Milwaukee of
ficials brought him to St. Pul, and they
crore met at the union depot by Deputy
United States Marshal Picha, who
formally arrested Fraeier, on a warrant
that had been in readiness for some
time.
The crime with which Frazier is
charg-ed, and in which Carpenter was an
accomplice, was committed in the month
ot Octobur, 1901. Carpenter collected
money on several forged postoffice
roonoy orders, and it is alleged that
Frazier was the one who issued and
forged the bogus orders, which Carpenter
<•< llected. Frazier would have been
prosecuted with Carpenter, but he eluded
the authorities, and has been in hiding
since.
Is From Oxford, Wis.
Frazier formerly lived in Oxford, Wis.,
f-nd is a brother-in-law of Postmaster J.
J. Wright, from whose office the forgel
orders were stolen. He is supposed to
have taken several money order bl inks
from a new money order book, which the
postmaster had just received from Wash
ington, and which was not needed at that
tin*'. Then he is alleged to have cenie
to Minneapolis with the- blanks, and is
sued and forged the bogus orders.
Carpenter, who is a nephew of Frazier,
was studying medicine at the state uni
versity, and was approached by the lat
ter, conridentially. Frazier informed his
kinsman that he had recently madu quite
a sum of money, and that on account of
ir.odesty he did not like to deposit it in
the bank at Oxford, where he .might be
suspected with so large a sum in his poa
on. So, as he told Carpenter, he
had hit on a novel scheme to get the
money into usable tender.
He had deposited the money with the
Oxford postoffice, and had taken in ex
change, several money orders of $livj
• •nch, and these he wanted Carpenter to
go and collect for him. He had made
them payable at several towns along the
river, and he would stand all the expense
of Carpenter's trip. Two erdera «*vere
I made payable at Winona, two at La
Crosse, and two each at' Winona and
Ban Claire, Wis. The fact that he had
Issued only two at each place was ex
plainable in the statute that provides
j that no more than two orders of $100 each
can be issued on the same office during
the same day.
Carpenter Took Itisii.
Carpenter bit easy. The game did not
arouse his suspicions, and he at once
set out on the little collecting tour. The
$200 at Winona was collected, as was a
similar amount at La Crosse, and he had
only the towns of Red Wing and Eau
Claire to make, when the plot was foiled.
A cog had slipped in the swindling
machinery, which Frazier had so clever
ly set in motion, due to his own negli
gence. When he issued the two orders
on Red Wing he neglected to forward
one of the advices, and consenuently
when Carpenter arrived at Red Wing he
was informed by the postmaster that he
could pay only one of the orders, as tha
advice was missing for the other. Car
penter, thinking that the delay was due
to a misconneeting mail, replied that he
would wait till the advice arrived before
cashing in the first order, and receive the
money all at once.
When Frazier issued the orders he made
them out in the name of P. S. Gardner,
but Carpenter, who apparently intended
to commit no crime, did not seem to see
any objection to getting them cashed in
the name of Gardner. Frazier provided
him with self-addressed envelopes which
bore the name of Gardner, and also fur
nished him with a black leather purse,
with the name of Persons printed on the
inside. With these the identification
went off smoothly, and Carpenter passed
off as Persons without any trouble.
But in the meantime the suspicions of
the postmaster at Red Wing had ben
aroused, and he telegraphed the postmas
ter at Oxford as to whether the orders
were all right, and he received a message
to the effect that both orders were for
geries. He immediately communicated
with Marshal Grimshaw, and the latter
instructed the police of Red Wing to
Place Carpenter, or Persona, as he was
there known, under arrest.
Frazier Oisn ppea red.
The trial took place In January, before
Judge Lcehren, in St. Paul, and Carpen
ter was sentenced to two and a half
years in StiHwator. Frazier was at that
time In Minneapolis, and it was expected
that he would go on the witness sta"d
in an effort to free Carpenter. In fact
he had promised the relatives of Car
penter as much, but at the last minute
he disappeared, apparently afraid to ap.
pear in the case. At that time it was not
known just what part Frazier had played
in tne case, and it was not until he had
ar*cond>d that his actions were known I
to he authorities. An effort was made
to locate him, and it was learned that
he had gone to Oxford, Wis/ The officers
there were communicated with by tele
graph, but he left the same day for Mil
w.iukee.
The Milwaukee officials located him
some ten days ago, but have been hold
ing him on several different counts, much
along the same line as those for which
he is wanted in St. Paul. But the cases
were more flimsy, and having much less
chance of conviction, they waived a n

WILL BEGIN ON STREET
REPAIRS NEXT MONDAY
Seventh Street Will Be Patebert V'p
First and the Others 'Will
' Follow.
If possible work will be commenced
Monday on the repair of the several
asphalt paved streets tor which a con
tract was placd some days ago by the
board of publtc works, with the Western
Paving and Supply company.
The first street on which repairs will
be made will be Seventh street. Because
of its congested state during the busy
hours of the-day City Engineer Rundlett
is somewhat in a quandary as to how to
proceed, as considerable of it, owing to
the extensive character of the repairs
to be made, will have to be closed off to
traffic. As far as possible the work will
be done of an evening and on Sundays
and no more than a block of the street
will be closed off at any one time.
Wabasha,Sixth and St. Peter streets are
in the same category and similar tactics
will have to be employed so as to lessen
the interference with traffic. As every
patch made is to be guaranteed, inspec
tors will be employed and the exact loca
tion of each taken for record purposes.
EXCURSIONS FOR THE
COLISEUM NEXT WEEK
Handnonte, {lar^e and Sew Steamer
J. S. lias Ileen t£ngaged for
tbe PTirjro.se.
Considerable interest has been aroused
by the announcement of the steamboat
excursions to be given next week for the
benefit of the Coliseum fund, and it is
already evident that the plan has struck
the popular fancy. There will be three
of the regula*r public excursions, one
Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock, and two
on Thursday, one in the afternoon* and
one in the evening.
The steamer "J. 5.," which will be used
for these excursions, has already been
described at length in TheGl ob c. It
is entirely new, and is the finest boat of
its class which has ever been seen on thi3
part of the Mississippi, having a hard
wood dancing floor 200x47 feet. It will ac
commodate, without the use of barges,
2,000 passengers, and as the tickets for
these excursions will be sold for 50 cents,
it is expected that she will carry nearly
that many on each of the three trips.
Beside the paid excursions, a special
trip will be made, and for this occasion
the Jobbers' union, Chamber of Com
merce, Commercial club and Manufac
turers' association and members of the
press have been invited.

>rew Assembly Wants to Get JXext.
The reason assigned for the assembly's
activity in sending so much business "to
the committee on streets is that the new
members desire to familiarize themselves
with the work, and the committee affords
more m this direction than the regular
meeting. ■ - . .
Most of the business sent to the com
mittee by the assembly last Thursday is
of an unimportant character, unless it
be the awards of - contracts for paving
several streets. The majority of it will
be approved. u v-:..<.,"■-

ZIMMERMANN IS OUT
President of the Board of
School Directors Has Re
signed His Position
THE MAYOR WILL ACCEPT
City Executive Is Sorry to Lose tlie
President of the Board, and
Has Not Yet Selected
a Successor.
Bernard Zimmermann yesterday ten
dered to Mayor Smith his resignation as
a member of the board of school direc
tors. It is to take effect at once, and
will be accepted as soon as Mayor Smith
can find a suitable successor.
Mr. Zimmermann, who is president of
the board, carried his letter of resigna
tion in person to the mayor, but he did
not find the executive when he called.
Its contents, however, had evidently
been conveyed in advance, for when his
honor arrived it remained on his desk
several hours before being opened. The
missive was brief and was as follows:
Letter of Resignation.
"My business requiring my undivided
attention, and also that there may be
unanimity of action on the board of
school directors, which is absolutely
necessary for the good of our school
system, I hereby tender my resignation
as a member of said school board.
Thanking- you for your confidence and
the support you gave me in the past in
school matters."
"I am sorry, very sorry, to lose Mr.
Zimmermann," said Mayor Smith after
he had got through reading the letter,
"but J guess he knows what he wants.
I do think he is acting foolishly, though.
I don't think I will have any trouble in
finding: a successor. For the present I
will do nothing in the matter. We have
a pood board of school directors and I
want to see it remain so. For that rea
son I will not act hastily."
Mr. Ziramermann's letter to the mayor
was indie-ted yestertlar morning, but not
before he had called at the school board
headquaretrs in the New York Lif
building and cleaned up the official busi
ness demanding his signature as presi
dent. As soon as this was done the let
ter was taken over to the city hall.
Mr. Zimmermann says his reason
for resigning was because the board was
becoming partisan. After the action
of the members "Wednesday in selecting
A. J. Smith as superintendent, he did not
think he could any longer act in har
mony with them, and so he decided to
quit. Of the five years that he has been
a member of the board he claims his
every effort has been directed at keeping
the board of education non-partisan.
Other Zimmerman Stays.
There was a rumor yesterday to the
Effect that E. O. Zimmerman was con.
templates a similar step, but this Mr.
Zimmerman denies. Director Fry, an
other Republican member, was also in
cluded in the resignation rumor, but he
also enters an emphatic denial.
By Mr. Zimmermanns resignation,
Director Fry, as vice president, is tem
porarily at the helm, but a special meet
ing may fee called in a few days to fill
the vaneancy. This will not be done
however, until a successor has been
named by Mayor Smith:

"Continual dropping wears away a stone.
Continual gnawing wears away a bone.
Continual jawing leads to family strife.
Continual nagging wears out a man's
life."
The above odd lines are found in the
complaint in an action for a divorce
■brought in the district court yesterday
by John J. Dobson, of the Northwestern
Newspaper union, against his wife, Helen
Dobson. The suit for a separation is
brought through Charles H. Taylor as
attorney for Mr. Dobson and the com
plaint cite 3 several incidents where It Is
alleged, the plaintiff was treated in a
cruel and Inhuman manner by his wife I
The plaintiff is forty-six years of age
and the defendant forty-seven. They
were married at Preston, England, on-
May 3, 1876, and have three grown-up
daughters, one of whom is married. The
plaintiff alleges that during the past sev
eral years the defendant has treated him
in a cruel and inhuman manner and has
on several occasions, without any cause,
thrown various kinds of articles at him.
Furthermore, he alleges that she is of a
most jealous nature and whenever she wa a
detained a ; little longer than usual for
reason, she always scolded him and
in general made life miserable. Besides
this she would not attend any social
functions with him and neither would she
allow him to go alone. Further than this
she would not even allow him to ac-1
company any of their daughters to any
social events.
Another allegation that the plaintiff
makes In the complaint is that while he
and the defendant attended one of the
Minnesota editorial excursions a few
years ago, she became so jealous of him
because he was helping to entertain some
of his customers and their families on
the trip, that she struck him in the face
with her fist several times In the pres
ence of all those in the railway coach
ac the time, greatly to his humiliation.
The complaint also recites a number
or other incidents which cover several
tjpewritten pages.
EARL D. BEARBSL.EY ON TRIAL
Testimony Is All In.* ami Motion to
Dismiss Next Step.
Earl D. Beardsley, charged with solicit
ing: insurance without a license, was on
trial before Judge Bunn and a jury in the
criminal branch of the district court late
yesterday afternoon. The case will be re
sumed on Monday morning, when a mo
tion to direct a verdict for the defendant
made by Attorney Ives at the close of
taking testimony, will be argued.
Less than two hours were consumed in
empaneling a jury and taking testimony
The state called witness to prove that
Beardsley had solicited contracts for tne
Home Co-operative association, and the
question which now confronts the court is
whether or not the alleged insurance
clause in these contracts brings the com
pany under the jurisdiction of the state
insurance laws. Mr. Beardsley did not
take the stand In his own behalf, and the
defense rested without introducing any
evidence. The case will in all probability
go to the jury on Monday.

WHAT DID SHE MEAN?
Said He Was Not ".Monotonous'
Twice With Significance.
His acquaintances have been lautrhirv*
for the past fortnight at an uptown tx-au
renowned alike for Ms vanity and tight
fistedness. He had been devoted in his
attentions to the pretty daughter of a
wealthy widow of the neighborhood; but
the mother is a bit of a Mrs. Maiaprop
•who has unconsciously ruined more than
one pood opportunity for the daughter.
The beau in question had been a persist
ent wooer, but, so far as is known, had
kept the expenses of his courtship down
to mere carfare.
He called one recc-nt evening and was
entertained "by the mother perilling the
completion of the daughter's toilette. The
mother showed him a box of superb
feses from one of the most fashionable
of the local florists, and told him they
■had been sent "monotonous —without any
card, you know." Thrift led him into
mendacity, and he raid he had sent tht-m
• "You did?" questioned the mother!
"Well, If you bought the flowers, you are
no longer monotonous."
He told the whole story in pennywis-3
glee to a friend, who, a day or two later,
dropped into the florist's* to l<',rn th<f
identity of the anonymous Bender, anil
was told that the mother herself had
bought the flowers and sent them to tho
daughter. Those who know the persons
concerned divided between admiration for
the old lady's nerve in the face of tho
beau's lie and wonder as to the mean
ing of her second employment of tho
word ■'monotonous."—Philadelphia Times
