SHOOTING AFFRAY AT BRAINERD.
Loretta Mays Fires at Jack Burns
and Hits Policeman.
Brainerd Tribune, Sept.


A ripple of excitement was created about
town early this morning by shooting affray
on Front street, near the Opera house. The
shooting was done with a revolver in the
hands Of girl named Loretta Mays, whose
father keeps a saloon on Front street, near
the Opera house. The girl fired three shots
at Jack Burns, the well known saloon keeper
and sporting man, but missed him and one
of the shots struck Nose Deroosh, the po-
liceman, taking effect near the right groin.
The circumstances connected with the
shooting are substantially as follows: At
about $50 O'Clock this morning Acting Po-
lice Justice Frater was routed out of his bed
by old man Mays the father of the girl, who
desired warrant for Jack Burns on "a charge
of committing a rape upon his daughter
Loretta. The girl stated that her sister and
herself had gone out riding on Thursday
night with Burns land another
man." Upon returning home about 10
O'Clock, Burns asked her to take a drink,
which she did. She claims that the drink
was drugged, that she was unconscious for
some time, and upon recovering discovered
that Burns had taken her to room and ac-
complshed his purpose
warrant was issued and given to Police
man DeroOsh to serve. Deroosh arrested
Burns, and at his urgent request accompa-
MED him to the Nays house to see if the
matter could not be compromised in some
way. But the sight of Burns served to ex-
asperate the girl, and refusing to listen to
anything he might have to say, she opened
fire on him with the result above stated.
DR.. j. l.. Camp, who examined the
wounded policeman, found that the ball en-
tered near the right groin, struck the pubic
bone, and glanced around and lodged in the
perin@um. He succeeded in extracting the
ball, which was of 80 caliber. The wound is
serious one, and as there is some internal
| hemorrhage, blood poisoning is liable to
! supervene, and the result is of course I'M
| certain.
! Burns had hearing before Mr.. Frater,
and was placed under $500 bonds to appear
| before the grand jury.

H Visitors Opinion.
To the Editor of the GLOBE.

Being up in the northwest, l thought I
would say how we are impressed by it. One
can talk of big farms and expansive acreage
in crops; the figures can be understood, but
the size cannot be felt as it really is. One
must see to know the size of the vast north
western farm. There is peculiar feeling to
leave the fenced fields and farms of Mime
sofa at night and awaken in the morning on
a farm on which there are no fences, and as
far as the eye can see, one wheat field on
level, apparently, prairie. 1t is like dream.
We find jamestown busy town and, as all
towns should be. nearly out of idlers; went
towards Devils Lake on the jamestown &
Northern. At the one-year-old town of Car
rington we found all busy. At New Rock
ford, a ten-months-old town on the James
river, sixty miles from jamestown, we found
a much more thrifty place and larger than we
expected. That is the northwestern seat of
Mark H. Dunnell; he is one of the proprie-
tors of the berg and has his cottage there.
The town is not like Maine, where he is
working for -Blaine-prohibition but out of
proportion in the opposite direction.
We were told there and on the train that
there was no settlers beyond the river to
speak of, and as there was none below and
but few around the town, we were at a loss
to know the object of the town; was true the
cars run only to it at present, but the road
bed is made nearly if not quite to the lake.
But we found their error. We went to the
very good farms of Courtmauchi-of 200
acres, Buell. of $50 acres, and those of Baker,
McKallum, Allen, the two Guiles, Clarks,
Steadman, Curtis, Tomlinson, Grays, Makers,
Bassett and about twenty others, each having
twenty to $50 acres in crop and broken, all
in sight of a western town that has paper(D,
and whose editor or subscribers don't know
of any settlers above their place. We stopped
with Rollins and took look around, found
most of those above named were Minneso-
tians mostly from Hennepin and Ramsey
counties and of course have energy to make
the frontier grow and develop into good
farms. The crops are very fine, all feeling
very cheerful over it. We expect to go the
Devils lake in few days and possibly to the
Turtle mountains, and see more of the west.

Starving New FoundJanders.

ST. JOINS, n. F., Sept s.-The latest
Labrador news is appalling. The Goldfish
catch is short half a million quintals, and on
the northeast coast of New Foundland fam
inc is imminent. About 800 families are
reported as starving, and sustaining life at
present on squids. The whole coast of New
Foundland and Labrador is studded with ice
bergs. Capt. Manuel, of the mail steamer
Plover, reports 253 ice bergs between Wad-
ham island and Cape Freels, Conavesta bay.
Thirteen ice bergs drove south of Cape
Spear, yesterday, down into the tracks of
ocean steamers.
Advices from Trepassey report two more
disasters in consequence of Mondays hurri-
cane. A large western schooner with all
hands was lost on the Virgin reefs, Placentia
bay. Another was lost with every soul on
Mistaken point.

The Tanning of the shrew.

About l o'clock yesterday afternoon a
small boy rushed into police headquarters,
and with tears streaming down his face, he
said that man had locked his mother in a
cellar. Chief Clark sent Officer Marion with
the lad, and on reaching his home in the
Sixth ward, it was found that the boys story
was correct. 1t appears that about year
ago Peter Johnson, Swede, paid his adj
dresses to widow woman also named John
son, the latter, however, being a German.
They decided that marriage would be the
proper caper, and with the view of pooling
their affections and worldly goods, Peter
procured marriage certificate, and, suppos-
ing that this was all that the law required,
the couple commenced living together.
They have lived happily enough until a
day or two ago when they INDUCED in a
quarrel and to settle matters Johnson put
his deputy wife into the cellar as means of
bringing her to time. He played the little
game again yesterday, and when the officer
went over he placed them both under arrest
and brought them before the court.
The above facts were developed in the
court room, and on hearing both stories, the
court advised them to get married and kis:
and forget all the past. They readily agreed
to the arrangement, and on leaving the
court room they were man and wife.

East Bound Freight Business Still Failing
TChicago Tribune, 9TH. |

East bound freight business is growing
worse and worse. Never before has bust
ness been so light at this season of the year
as it is at present. The new wheat and oats
usually begin to go forward about August L
and shipments always begin to increase
about that time, but this year has been an
exception to the general rule, and instead
of increasing business has steadily decreased
since then. For the week ending July 26
the total shipments of flour, grain and pro-
visions from this city by the various roads
amounted to 81. S5S tons. against "a, 600 tons
for the corresponding week last year. Dur
ing the last week the shipments of -four,
grain and provisions amounted to 27,2S5
tons, against 40, 1894 tons for the correspond
ing week last year. 1t will therefore be seen
that during the month of August last year
east-bound shi pments Of flour, grain, and
provisio ms increased about 16, 900 tons, while
this year the increase in shipments amounts
to less than 1000 tons. Last weeks bust
ness is nearly 5000 tons less than the week
previous. Railroad officials find it hard to
explain why business at PRESENTS so exceed
ingly dull. Last year at this time, when ship
ments amounted to nearly $4,000 tons more
per week, business was thought to be unus-
ually dull, and it was explained on the ground
that the crops had been none of the best. But
this years. grain and oat crop is claimed to
have been heavier than for years, and yet
business is comparatively lighter than ever
before. There are now eight roads competing
for the east-bound business from this city, so
that on an average each road got about 5000
tons of -four, grain and provisions, which are
the principal articles shipped east from
this point, and this exhibit includes the bust
ness to interior local points. 1t viii thus be
seen that the roads carried hardly any
through business at all. All summer the
roads consoled themselves with the hope that
about Aug. l shipments would materially in
crease, and that they would then be able to
make better earnings. But the earnings of
all the roads since that time have continued
to decrease from week to week, and the
prospects do not now indicate that there will
soon be a change for the better. The opin
ion is rapidly gaining ground that unless
material reduction in rates is made business
will continue as dull as it now is until the
close of navigation. A heavy reduction in
rates would create much heavier demand
for business than there is now, as prices of
grain in this market are so low that shippers
refuse to sell, thinking that they will get bet
ter prices hereafter.

The COtlnfyF Fair

To-day there will open on the Washington
county agricultural grounds, one of the
finest fairs ever held in the county, from
present indications. The entries are far in
excess of what they have ever been, and the
excellence of the articles to be shown is up to
that seen at any other point. Since Tuesday
last we notice many changes on the grounds,
all tending to completeness for the opening.
This morning many of the exhibits will ar
rive, but when we were there yesterday we
got foretaste Of what is to come.
In the floral hall we see great change,
considerable amount of the decorating being
done. L. Allenbry is having the center of
the pavilion got up in grand style, the
Gothic structure being covered with gaily
colored goods, while piles of goods are lying
around to be put in place. In the north
wing there is an endless variety of vegetables
and fruits, consisting in part of monster
potatoes, huge pumpkins and squashes, fine
yellow and white cared corn, various kinds
of apples, with other products of the garden
and field. In the east transept we find that
the floral display will be exceptionally good,
A. D. Rowe, of Twin Lake, Murray, making
large and choice display of all kinds of pot
plants. The other transepts are ready to re-
ceive the goods this morning.
We find that ali the booths under the
grand stand have been taken, and are being
put in order for business, the several occu-
pants getting them arranged as attractively
as possible. There will be no want of re-
freshments for all who require SUCH The
Congregational church has the long tent, in
which they worshiped at the corner of Laurel
and Fifth streets, in position near the floral
hall, and here the most substantial meals
will be dispensed by the ladies Of the congre-
cation. Candy and lemonade stands will be
in full force, all expecting to do big trade
Some Of the stock has arrived and is
! comfortably housed in fine new sheds. Quite
a number of crack trotters have arrived and
were spinning round. what their drivers de-
clared to be the best track they were ever on.
1t could not be in better condition than it
was yesterday, and should there be a sprink-
ling of rain, it will keep all dust down.
Mr.. Isaac Staples is getting his exhibit OF
horses in the very best condition, and al
though some may demur at his large exhibit,
ne is going in for sweepstake prizes, and re-
quires the number, as will show stallians and
mares with offspring of the following grades
Hambletonian, Clydesdale, Norman, NAM
brine and Swyaert. Among them he has
some beauties.
There is a large Windmill ready to be put
up, while poles are lying in all directions to
be used as supports for tents. The grounds
will be turned into a regular fair, where
everything can be had and seen that is
usually found at such places. The entries
yesterday poured in so rapidly that it took
two men to do the work. Secretary McKus-
lex and Treasurer Sturteyant, especially the
latter. have done vast amount of work in
fact more than could be expected of any
