How the Longest Pole Knocked Down the
Persimmon--The Others Wanted 1t, But
We're Too Short in the Reach.
With the advent of the Eighteenth infantry
into this department, and even anticipating
it, there occurred little speculative venture
and even tiaesse which is worthy of mention.
Given, the fact of the approach of the
Eighteenth regiment; given, the location of
it's station; given, the fact that this post
was to be built on an appropriation of
100000, with numerous quarter
masters employees, and it can be
readily reckoned that the sutlership of full
garrisoned fort would be very handsome
plum of bonanza proportions for some en-
terprising civilian. The appointment to such
lucrative place is made by the secretary of
war, unless sold q la Belknap, but most gen.
orally on the recommendation of the officers
stationed at the garrison. There we're any
| number who were anxious ''to rob- soldiers
at Fort Assinaboine, the new Eighteenth in
fantry post. But the regiment being new to
this department we're not acquainted with
the many aspirants perspiring for the place,
and how to get stlle recommend
was the question. just here the
fnesse came in. Among those wish
ing to secure the remunerative
| position of post trader was A. II. Wilder.
| He endeavored to take time by the forelock,
but didn't get good grip, as the sequel will
show. He dispatched an emissary all the
way to Atlanta to get acquainted with the
boys, set 'em up and otherwise to ingratiate
himself. Mr.. Broadwater, of Montana, went
on his mission and did the urbane
throughout the tedious ride. There were
others who waylaid the regiment and were
lavish both in opportunities and attentions
So much so that one of the officers of the
regiment, when introduced to citizen here
smilingly remarked:
care you an applicant for the sutlership
Mr.. Smith,
s'No. sir.''
"well, sir, by the saddle in which Joh1
Pope carried his headquarters, permit me tt
grasp your hand. You are the first mar
whom I have met that has given that an.
swer."
They clasped.
In the meantime, while all this figuring
was going on, DR.. Burleigh, of Dakota, ar
rived in the city. There we're suspicious
whisperings around the circle of folks who
were lingering for the sutlership plum. Th,
doctor was we'll known to be largely inter
ested out in the Missouri and Yellowstone
region, and they feared he might interes
himself little too much in this new bust
ness. Their fears we're not groundless, fol
when the regiment got here, the docto
seemed to embrace the whole crowd mos
heartily as long acquaintance. Then too, i
leaked out that DR.. Burleigh was the maj
who had gotten a tenacious grip on Oh
Times forelock. He had written to old &C
quaintances in the regiment, gotten 9Th
recommend" and has now in readiness q
Bismarck $4,000 worth of goods to b
transported to his sutler store at Fort ASSN
naboine, the Eighteenth lnfantry's ne,
station.

The GLOBE Oh yesterday published six
items of advertising from the bills of the
Pioneer Press paid by the county last year.
These bills aggregate $3.50. If that ad-
vertising had been done at the figures named
in the GLOBE contract it would have cost but
1894, saving of $47.56 on that small
amount of advertising. This is a reduction
of over thirty-three and third per cent.
Previous to the existence of the GLOBE the
P. P. charged the county fifty per cent. or
more above the prices now paid the GLOBE.
And this is the hypocritical newspaper which
is bowling about the printing because the
advent of an honest newspaper has shut off
its chance for plumber.

MINNESOTA CONSTRUCTION co.
An Important Decision Rendered by Juds
Rr3l1

An Important Decision Rendered by Judge
Brill.
A decision was briefly noted yesterday
which was granted by Judge Brill, in the
case of E. A. @. Hatch vs.. The Minnesota
Railway Construction company. The de-
oision is extremely voluminous, and after
adverting to the almost interminable litiga-
ton involved in the case, says: That a
statement of the account between the con-
struction company and other parties to this
action, should be made, and the
said railroad from st. Paul to Winona de-
termined, save in so far as the same may be
effected by the result of the action, by the
decision says that the company has remain
ing in its hands $44S, 1886. The said sum
of $448, 725. O6 and the proceeds of the prop
erty received by said company,
and undisposed of, to-wit: the $4,000
bonds of the village of Reads, the $22,5OO of
the Hastings bonds, the common stock of
the St. Paul & Chicago railroad company,
and the bond for So, 5000, 900 secured by the
mortgage or trust deed upon the lands, with
the said lands represented by said stock, less
any sum to be deducted as aforesaid, on
account of the said action of
the city of Winona against the Construction
company, constitute the profits in which
said assignees of the contract of Henry M.
Rice are entitled to share. It is not nee
essary that all distribution of property be
deferred until the final disposition of said
action, last aforesaid. But provision being
made for the protection of the Con-
struction company, division of the
said profits may be made among the parties
| according to their respective rights. The
Construction company is entitled to the nine.
tenth twentieth part of the said sum now in
| its hands. The other parties to this action
| are entitled to one-twentieth part of the said
sum, that is to say, they are entitled to the
sum cf $22,436.25. From this is to be taker
said $4,000 and interest paid to EdmunG
Rice, as before stated, being the sum of $11,
1O3.75, leaving to be paid to sale
parties by said company, the sum of $11.-
33245, of which plaintiff is entitled to tn,
one-twelfth part, to-wit: $944.37, and sait
Anna M. Rice to the nine-twelfth part
$8,499.33; said Susan L. Thompson, Lena B
Clark, Katie Ashton, Carrie J. Barnum
Susie Thompson and Ella F. Thompson
each to the -thirty-sixth part, to-wit
| $314.79 each. Judge Brill also orders that
receiver should be appointed of the prop
erty undisposed of as aforesaid
to sell the same, and after retaining in hi
hands an amount to be fixed by the court
sufficient to cover any liability of the parties
in respect to the action of the city of Wi
mona against the CONSTRUCTION company, t.
abide the result of the action, to make dis
tribution of the proceeds hereto in the pre-
portion aforesaid.
