BURR'S BUSINESS
Was Only Average Yesterday, with
Penalties Attached in Most
IagaS

It Is one OF the sad aud dangerous tenden-
cies Of the times when men arraigued on the
charge Of theft confess that they steal In
order to have 4 chance to 90 to the work
house; and yet such is the fact, as may have
been seen a score of times in the police court
since the advent Of the extreme cold weather.
When Geo. RYAN was charged yesterday
with stealing two turkeys, he made a clean
breast OF 1t and remarked that he was glad Of
it, the fact being that man with an empty
stomach and scarcely clothes enough on his
back to cover his nakedness, doesn't stand
much show against weather that is twenty
below. He was sent out for thirty days and
workhouse life will be a picnic for him.
JOAN Lafor,i, another sinner Of the same
strip, was charged with stealing pair
OF shoes aud q wooden shirt from
In front of a store at Seventh and Rosabel
streets. lie Is a bad youugster and the court
committed him for ninety days TO keep him
out OF harms way.
John Hanson, genteel looking young
fellow, was charged with stealing a buffalo
robe: he is book agent aud the robe was
found in his possession on being arraigned
he explained that he had gotten the robe
from a eoachmau, the condition being that
he was to trade s. album for it. The latter
didn't materialize, aud the sad-eyed young
man was sent to the quay for sixty days, this
icing the first instance OF where a book
igent ever got the worst Of 1t.
There is something very vicious and wrong
about a man who will sell suid chaiu light
ming, warranted TO paralyze the hardest kid
ney on sight, to bog OF fourteen years.
Anon the. ,risoners in the bull pen YESTERDAY
was PItrick McNerney, a lad OF fourteen ripe
winters. who was charged with having been
bind drunk; his senses had been so thor
oughly saturated With pete whisky that
he cnu dn t remember where be had been,
and Ju lgc Burr gayt him ten days in which
to recover his balance.
Thomas Gehgan was charged with keeping
his driukery open after midnight, and the
he airing was set Tor to-day.
PETE Francis Is chronic wife mauler,
and he has been W several times for black
In the optic Of his better half. He went
h, me fun OF booze Saturday night, and was
In the act Of inflicting the usual whipping on
his wife when be vas yanked. The brute
went GU. For thirty days.
George Miller is another duck who Is al

Verdict of u Jury Set Aside.

Justice Berry, of the supreme court, in an
opinion made public yesterday set aside the
S2,9l7 verdict of Ramsey county jury as
damages for false imprisonment in the case
of Ora NJ. Woodward. Of Hitchcock, Dakota,
against Stephen ). Gidden of the wholesale
grocery firm of Gidden, Griggs 81 Co., OF
this city, as excessive. Mr.. Gidden was re-
fused n new trial by Judge Brill and there
upon carried the case 10 the higher court. In
his opinion Judge Berry says that the
manner in which Woodward, u creditor
Of the above firm had disposed of his prop
erty was well calculated 10 excite the sus-
picion of those he was indebted to, as he had
no money 10 pay his bills. IL WAS evident
that appellant had him arrested to endeavor
10 force q settlement, and both the arrest and
process were Illegal. His confinement at the
city hall for three hours was not made with
violence or publicity, but was violation Of
his feelings only He Is entitled 10 dam
ages for false imprisonment, and 10 com
pensatory and punitive damages, but
jury must use reason in a YER
dict, even against willful wrong
doer and If the larger part OF the sum given
In this instance was for a punitive purpose it
was not within reasonable limits. This YER
diet IL grossly excessive and exhorbitant, and
that il was given by the jury under passion
or prejudice is the only way to account for
it. The court below erred in not granting n
new trial TO appellant and the same is now
ordered.

Borderina on the Granhfc.

Although Dunseith, in the Turtle noun
tans, is young and small il is able to afford
attractions of this sort mentioned by the
Herald: Last Monday the entire southern
horizon presented Il most beautcous mirage
representing various scenes. At one point
appeared a lake with trees apparently grow
ing from it; at another appeared grand city
of numberless marble palaces; at another
the spectacle resembled the great horseshoe
waterfall at Niagara, towards the west ap-
peared the Mouse river country. The ilu-
sion lasted for several hours.

Infinite Se4lse.

Winship, of the Grand Forks Herald does
not join in the fusilade against Missouri on
account of its senators. He says: The Herald
takes no stock in the vengeful policy Of Ger
tain Dakota papers, against Missouri, which
is a great state of splendid possibilities,
though greatly disgraced through her jury
ixers and shot gun bandits. We have IN
fortunately too much of the same sort of
cussedness in Dakota. Let us treat matters
fairly and resolve to reform matters wherein
we are at fault so that nothing can be said to
our reproach. The boycotters and blackleg
blackguards should be promptly suppressed.

The Grand Forks Herald regards 1t as g
miserable subterfuge in the interest Of mon
opolists, for the Pioneer Press to attempt to
show that better prices have been paid in
Dakota for wheat than in other western
regions. 1t examines the table given and
concludes: Thus by the p. Z. S own figures,
corrected by the facts, it appears that Grand
Forks farmers received no more for the best
quality of wheat, wor ten cents per bushel
more ut Buffalo, than the rusty, smutty, soft
wheat farmers Of Kansas realized.

There are fifty or moie bachelors in that
vicinity and only about a dozen marriage

gage in which three horses three years old
