takes it philosophically, and thinks she is
not much anyway when she would do the
like of that, as there are better fish in the sea
than has ever been caught.
AT the municipal court yesterday morning
before Judge Netheway, John Nicholson
pleaded not guilty to the charge of assault
and battery, and the case was set for this
morning at o'clock. Warrants were issued
for the apprehension of Oscar Williams, Jas
Schow, VIM. Gaslin and Alfred Norscom, the
boys who were throwing rotten eggs on Satur-
day evening. They will appear this morn
ing in the court if the police can find them.
Yesterday afternoon a wind storm, ac-
companied by rain and lightning, passed
over the city, doing some damage in the
blowing down of fences, upsetting every
thing that was not securely fastened and
making general shaking up of the dust. 1t
cleared the atmosphere and the night got
quite cool and comfortable. About dark
there was heavy rain with vivid flashes of
lightning.
Prison Inspectors De Lattre and Butts met
yesterday in special session, to receive the
warden's semi-annual report as well as the
reports of the several officers of the state
prison, so as to incorporate the whole in the
report from the inspectors to Governor Hub
bard. Inspector Norrish was unable TO be
present owing to a washout on the Milwau-
kee road near La Crosse, but he is expected
to-day when he will affiX his name to the re-
port left by the inspectors.
We were yesterday shown specimens of
iron ore, taken from the cutting made by the
railway at Browns creek, almost within the
limits of the city. The deposit is covered
with kind of white cancined shale, and be-
low is a bed of flint rock Only very small
portion of the iron has been uncovered, the
percentage Of iron in the stone exposed is
not large, but from its appearance, there will
be good showing below. The specimens
may be seen in Mr.. Isaac Staples store, he
and Mr.. A. X. Doe are unearthing the rock.
1t will be investigated farther.
The hunting party who left last week for
the west aud north. returned yesterday fore
noon with the spells, and it required a
special car of the Northern Pacific railway to
accommodate the chickens and hunters
The party was composed of Senator Sabin,
Receiver Brown, Attorney Castle, Bank Pres
ident Potter, of Boston, Mr.. Drewey and At
torney Remi, of Chicago. The chickens
were plentiful, but on Sunday the
guns were silent, Senator Sabin saying
it was against his principles to work on Sun
day. Attorneys Castle and Remi got very
dry, but Deacon Brown as the custodian of
the liquid refreshments, he would not give
them even chance to smell the cork, say
ing, no shootee, no drinkee. However, they
survived the lack Of the dew, and came home
well pleased with their success. They did
not like to say how they killed the chickens.
Yesterday the police force was very sore
over the exertions of the previous day. Big
Hans says he has ''plumbago' in his back,
got spawned in the knees, and thinks three
weeks vacation would be just the thing, as
as the work on Sunday was equal to what
could be expected of any well organized body
of police to do in that time. Fru McKusck
is tenderly nursing a very bad finger, and
takes a vacation for it to get better. Chief
Shortall is thoroughly demoralized, not being
able to sleep on Sunday night from aching
bones and thinking of Big Hans dromedary
springs. Geo. Walters says he is all wrong,
and he props up the lamp posts and street
corners much more than formerly. He says
he will wiring the neck of that little fellow
that made him run so fast. McGrath is as
fresh as daisy, while ReardOn and Costello
look as if they had q severe attack of rhcu-
matism. Bardwell had not enough flesh on
him to get tired, and as for Yorks, the style
he put on was too much for his consti ution.
Shattuck, who was on duty in the city, did
not play, and he is chatting the boys unmer-
cifully, but they are lying low for him. They
will remember the 18th of September for some
time.
The new steamer Cleon will begin her reg
ular trips to-day, leaving the Duluth docks at
9:30 for Taylors Falls. Inspectors Gen.
Flower and Frank Scott gave her thorough
overhauling yesterday and pronounced every
thing Al and signed her certificate. During
The past three or four days she has made Won
derful advances toward completion. The
cabins have been carpeted and fine piano
has been placed in position in the ladies'
cabin, which is also well furnished with hair
cloth chairs and settees. The chandeliers and
brackets are of the neatest designs in brass,
and the usual number of bright brass guy
chaius keep them in position. The boat will
be well adapted for excursion parties, and
the cabins will allow of a number of sets to
dance at one time. The deck is perfectly Sc
cure, being built purposely for such kinds of
enjoyment. Strong brackets have been placed
under the outside of the upper deck, making
it perfectly secure. The work on board is not
| finished, but her trips and work will continue
at the same time. Tho name 'Cleon" may
be found in gold letters, not only on the pilot
house but at different other points, all done
by Keefe the artist. Capt. George Knapp is
proud of his boat. and we do not blame him
for it. He has got the boss pleasure steamer
on the st. CroiX.
