tin to announces what is con-
sidered by them valuable sill
yer and lead mine, situated on
the hills of what is known as the
Palafax tract, lying some thirty miles
above Laredo, and adjoining the Hunt
coal mines. These parties have been
quietly working for some time lead
which promises rich developments,
and within the last three days, at a

lead, pronounced by experts to be

The Bridge Bills.

Among the last of the bills to which the
governor affixed his signature were the
bridge woodchucks. These numbered
si1ty-eight and appropriated $67,05O. As
will be seen by the list of dead ducks be-
low, large number Of these wood.hucks
failed in one or the other of the two houses,
while most of the bills that did pass were
sealed down in committee, the total appro-
Pristions asked for this purpose amount
ing in round numbers to about $4,000.
While there is only something over $4,000
now in the treasury to the credit of the in
tsrnal improvement fund, from which
these appropriations have to be paid,
Gov. Hubbard estimates that $40 will
be applicable to this purpose during the
year, and that the receipts next year will
be sufficient to meet the full appropriation,
which will be good news to frontier mem
bers generally, who, as rule, are voted
failures as legislators by their con-
stituents if they fail from any cause to Sc
cure at least one bridge appropriation.

sixty experienced Scotch farmers. This step
the firm deemed expedient on account of
the scarcity of farm labor. The going
wages of farm hands this season, will
probably range from $25 to $50 per month
with board. Several newcomers have al
ready arrived this season from Illinois and
Pennsylvania. Some of these bought
land last season, had it broke and put

session and live permanently. The people
in the valley are happy and contented and
look forward to another busy and proita-
BILE season. Last Sunday evening a tenn
perance meeting at Warren brought out an
attendance of 1856. The various church
societies are prospecting. Much
larger facilities for the pub
lie schools are needed. There are
only two saloons in Warren, and these are
very orderly and peacefully kept. From
the best obtainable information the in
creased acreage in cultivation this year
in Marshall county will exceed that of

THE FORGERY CASE.
Geo. HI. Stahlman Held in $500 Bail,
Which He Gives.

Geo. HI. Stahlman Held in $500 Bail,
Which He Gives.
The case of the state against George II.
Stahlman, charged with forgery, was called
for hearing in the municipal court yester-
day afternoon. It will be remembered
that defendant was arrested on the COM
plant of Albert Scheffer, of Dawson &
Co.'s bank, charging him with the forgery
of a note for $4,000. The note was made
by Stahlman and endorsed with the name
of A Stahlman, the charge being that the
latter signature was a forgery, having
been made by George Stahlman himself.
When arrested Stahlman did not deny
having endorsed the note but he stated
that it was done with the consent of his
stepfather, A. Stahlman.
At the hearing yesterday Mr.. Ega4 ap-
peared for the state, Mr.. ]. D. OBrien for
Dawson & Co., and Messrs. Heard, Mead
and Granger for Stahlman and his credi-
tors.
Mr.. Albert Scheffer was put on the wit
ness stand. He testified to having rsceiv-
ed the note from Geo. II. Stahlman. The
witness had seen the signature of A. Stahl-
man and that the endorsement on the
note bore a similtude to the original.
Witness had requested defendant on
making the note to secure the endorse
ment of his stepfather. A. Stahlman. He
did so and brought the note bearing the
signature which witness stated was his
stepfather's
Herman Scheffer, assistant cashier at
the bank, testified to conversation con-
corning loan which resulted in defendant
giving the note, and upon being ques-
toned he, Stahlman, had stated that the en-
dorsement of A. Stahlman was genuine.
Mr.. j. D. OBrien was next sworn and tes-
OBrien and defendant.
Mr.. Heard moved to dismiss, basing his
motion on the testimony of Mr.. j. D.
UBrien, whose testimony showed that the
name had been signed by the authority of
A. Stahlman, and that there had been no
criminal intent and that it had not been
shown that the bank had lost anything by
the transaction.
Mr.. Egan then addressed the court for
the prosecution.
He was held in the sum of $1,000.
THE ENLIGHTENMENT CASE.
After the above had been disposed of
the case of the state VS.. Geo. II. Stahlman,
charged with embezzlement, was called.
The warrant in this case was sworn out by
George Walsh, the attorney, who charged
that defendant converted 1915 to his own
use as assignee. The charge proved de-
cidedly thin and the case was dismissed.

The IRON Ranne Grn1t.

The bitter struggle between the Duluth
& Iron Range Railroad company and the
Duluth & Winnipeg company for the
swamp grant first made to the frst-named
company, 80 far as the legislature and
Gov. Hubbard are concerned, was ended
about four o'clock yesterday afternoon by
the governor afhxing his signature to the
bill. When it is stated that the grant
IN controversy embraces some
thing over 100000 acres, large por-
tiens of which are said to be quite valua-
bic, the bitter fight made for the legisla-
tive and state endorsement of ownership
Is not at all surprising. But when the Iron
Range company has received this endorse
ment, 1t Is by no means probable that the
contest for possession will now stop. On
the contrary Mr.. Billson, attorney for the
Duluth & Winnipeg company, said to a
GLOBE reporter, upon being told
the governor had signed the
bill, that he supposed the
matter would now be carried into the
courts and fought out, while the advocates
of the Iron Range in discussions in COM
mlttee and upon the floor of the legislature
stated they expected such result if their
right to the grant was confirmed by the
state, and that they were ready for the is
sue. In answer to query by the reporter
Mr.. Billson declined to express any
opinion as to whether the Duluth &
winnipeg company would go on
with the construction of their
line, but his manner was otherwise than
hopeful of such a result, at least in the
immediate future. The Iron Range peo-
pie were naturally in good spirits, and as
serted that their line to their rich iron ore
district would now be opened az fast as an
abundance of capital and energy could do
it, suits or no suits.

Farewell Banquet to ME- Liehe nstsin-

The rooms of the Standard club, on

by the late legislature. The pocket vetoes
are fewer in number than usual this year,
there being but five altogether. We give
them below:
VETOES.
Senate file 377-An act to detatch territory
from certain school districts in Polk county
and attach the same to district No. SIS in same
county.
Section of the act is amended by sec
ton of this same act. Apparently the
bill was amended and sent to the enrolling
clerk without engrossmsnt. AS presente d
it is seriously defective.
House file 352-To provide for the sale of
lands which have been stricken from tax lists
under provisions Of chapter 135, general laws of
1881.
This act permits the sale of all lands in
the counties of Pine, Kanabec, Stearns,
Crow Wing, Morrison, Todd and Benton,
authorized to be sold by section
9, chapter 135, general laws of 1881, at any
price that may be obtained. am in
formed by the state auditor that the state
taxes on lands covered by this act amounts
to about $4,000, Under this act these
lands may be sold for nominal sum.
Ample authority exists under the general
tax laws OF the state for the sale of such
lands under the direction of the state au-
ditor.
House file 217-An act to prohibit minors and
naoltual drunkards from obtaining liquor by
false pretenses.
A oil ,,o-t;on
omitted in the enrolled copy, and it i.
otherwise defective in its enrolment
House file l21-An act to amend section 81 OF
title II of chapter 8, of the general statutes OF
1873, relating to county surveyors.
There is no such section in the statutes
House file 5S4-An act amending the law re-
lating to horse thieves.
This bill has been carelessly enrolled
AS presented, it is incoherent and unin-
telligible. If it means anything it pro-
Vides bounty for persons assisting
parties charged with horse stealing.
NOTR-As sample of the careless en-
rolling, the enrolled bill in question has
the word "annulled" for ''amended." and
further on says: whenever any person
or persons admitted to bail by any compe-
tent court of this state, or by justice of
the peace, charged with horse steal
ing, shall forfeit his bail and
be without the Jurisdiction
of the court or concealed therein so that
at the time appointed for trial his person
cannot be produced in court, "there'' and
in that case the person or persons "assist-
ing" said prisoner, or person charged as
aforesaid, shall be entitled to the bounty,
etc."-ED.

tribute of respect and regret at his early
departure for other fields of labor. There
were present about seventy-tive friends
and the occasion was signalized by great
deal of mirth, good fellowship and festiv-
ity, very nice and dainty supper was
spread by the caterer, Ramaley, and during
the interims number of addresses were
made. Mr.. M. II. Flarsheim was master
of ceremonies, and appropriate remarks
were made by Mr.. Joseph Oppenheim, Mr..
Fl. j. Strouse, Mr.. j. Engle, Mr.. H. t. Sat-
Ter, Mr.. II. Haas and others.
After the inner man had been appeased
dancing was INDUCED in and the event
was justly characterized as one of the most
elegant affairs of the year.

THE PRINTING QUESTION.
The committee on printing reported hav-
ing received four bids for the job printing
and book binding of the county, and rec
ommend that the contract be awarded to
j. J. Lemon as the lowest bidder.
The same committee reported in favor of
the adoption of a resolution appointing

of that paper within thirty days, enter into

vices.
The report of the committee was adopt
ed.
Sheriff Richter addressed the board con-
corning the payment of several livery bills
for carrying insane persons, and convey
ing the late grand jury to the workhouse.
There seemed to be quite difference of
opinion relating to the right of the sheriff
to engage carriages and the county attor-
ney explained that there was no special
provision in the statute allowing fees
for such services. After a warm discus
sion the bill was laid over.
The committee on claims reported in
favor of allowing the usual number of
monthly bills. Adopted.
A bill of $50 was submitted from De-
tectives Breset and O'Connor for expenses
incurred in a trip North while ferreting
out the Pierce murder and looking up the
dog of the martyred young man, and also
for expenses in the Wilbern and Powers
case. The bill was laid over to the next
meeting.
lAnother racket took place over the bill
of w. E. Boyd for $27 for one months
service rendered the board of control. In
fact the time of the meeting was largely
consumed in the rancorous discussion over
small bills. The bill was allowed.
Liquor licenses were granted to R. j.
Diamond, F. Jansen and Lewis Story, and
the bonds were approved. The matter
of delinquent saloon licenses was ventil-
ated and it was decided to fetch IN the re-
calcitrants.
THE BOND BUSINESS.
The county auditor referred to the fact
that April 1 there would be due
$17,440 in county bonds, and that
there were now $4,000 past due,
the total Indebtedness in bonds coming
due being $22,440, and the auditor asked
that action be taken to meet it. Referred
to the attorney and committee on ways
and means.
A letter was read from Commissioner
Quinn, absent in California, asking to be
excused until April. Granted.
The auditor asked leave to draw war
rant in favor of the city treasurer for $50
for the opening of Wabashaw street.

Manitoba road returned yesterday from a
short trip to the Red river valley, on the

pleasant and the people of the valley are
looking for an early spring. Alarge num-
Der of men and teams have been employed
during the winter in cutting and hauling
cordwood to the various stations on the
Manitoba road. Price of wood at Warren
is S. per cord. The proprietor of the
brick yard has 500 cords piled up and ex-
poets to make it 1000 before fall.
Many new buildings are to be built this
