The large barn erected at Lake Mime
tonka and styled the Hotel Harrow has been
an elephant from its inception. 1t was poor
~ located, shabbily built and lily furnished,
both in the rooms and at the table. The con-
struction was delayed until too late to make
it q success this year even if it was properly
managed. Mr.. Eginton, the man who has
furnished ell the money which could not be
bled out of Minneapolis, came up to
view his possessions, and sickened and
died in the dismal building he had been in
weighed into constructing. There were two
surviving partners, Major Harrow, in whose
honor the barn was christened, and Mr..
Jackson. Neither of these gentlemen have
capital, but both are confident that they
know how to run resort on somebody else's
money. While Eginton was alive there
were substantial reasons why the two part
ners without money should harmonic in
their efforts to spend all they could OBJ
tain from their capitalist associate. This
cite that binds'' was worked SO we'll that the
deceased is said to have invested thirty thou
sand dollars in the narrowing process. Since
Eginton's death his heirs are DESTROYS of
being relieved of Harrow. jackson, the
other surviving partner, sides with the heirs,
though he has never put in any money him
self. He has promised to pay a debt of
$500 now hanging over the property, but
that is all.
As the result of all this financial ruction
Harrow and Jackson have been quarreling
and making everything disagreeable for
their gu ests by spending most of their time
in public chickering's. The hotel was neg
lected, the guests lily accommodated and
everything went awry.
While the visitors were disguised they were
which occurred Thursday evening. The two
partners were quareling, as usual, in the hall
way of the barn Harrow, when jackson let
fly his right mauley and coppered on Mr..
Harrow's left optic. This was narrowing
! blow and it narrowed up the soul of Mr..
Harrow from the sole of his right foot to the
| top of the mourning optic. He sought to
draw revolver but was unfortunately pre-
vented by some of the guests from making
frat-class item and possibly reducing
the number of partners in the un-
fortunate enterprise. Fooled in this, he
drew knife, but again an attentive GLOBE
reporter was disguised by seeing outside
interference prevent his narrowing jackson
into sausages. By this time the guests
were thoroughly aroused, and their sym
pathies generally ran with Harrow, because
he was bruised and bleeding, and,
withal, an older man than his as
sailant. jackson saw that he was in
the minority by large majority and
Harrow was glad they held him and prevent
ed funeral, SO that both combatants were
shortly ready to rest upon their laurels.
/ The guests of the hotel were supremely
Disguised, and twenty-seven left at once.
The remainder will leave to-day, or as soon
as they can get quarters elsewhere. One of
the partners threatens to close his half of the
barn, and the other is likely to retaliate in a
similar manner. The hotel is substantially
closed for the season, and within day or
two no guest will be left within its portals.
In fact there is no alternative hutto leave, as
each one of the fighting landlords demand
that the guests make full payment to him,
and as the rates are extortionate at the out
set double price is not agreeable. large
party en- route for the barn Harrow
turned back from Wayzata yester-
day on learning of the trouble
and returned to st. Paul. AS each landlord
stalks about the Office armed, demanding al
legiance to- his cause of every new arrival, it
supplies more variety than has been bargained
for, and no new name will be registered this
season. 1t is novel but not very attractive
manner of keeping q summer resort.
