Notes About Town.

A St. Paul paper. in stating that the hpel
suit brought by Matt Clark against the M'n-
neapoIis Tribune will in all probability be
tried in Washington county instead OF tam
sew is mistaken. The Tribune made appli-
cation to Judge Brill of ST. Paul TO make
change of venueto be argued on last sa'ur-
day week, but when the time came for argu-
ment withdrew its application. The IT'D
une claimed that twenty very important VIII,
nesses who knew Mr.. Clark and knew all
about the case resided in Saltwater. ana
asked that the case be tried here lnSIeSu OF
St. Paul. These witnesses are among the
best men in Saltwater. When they were
confronted on the matter they SAID tnaI tne!
knew nothing of it whatever. Since the
Tribune withdrew its application no new
one has been made and probably VIII not De,
unless it can give better reasons. The
suit is to recover $4,000 from the paper Tor
two publications IN reference to the death OF
R. W. Kerr, in Canada, in the course OF
which Mr.. Clarks name was mentioned as
having been implicated. In its answer the
Tribune justities the publication, ami alleges
that it is prepared to prove all that mas peeh
intimated in the publication against Mr.
Clark 1t is the belief of most people here
that the suit will amount to nothing.
Much interest was manifested here in the
hanging of Rel The first announcement of
his execution was made by bulletin in front
of the GLOBE office in the afternoon, which
was quite q surprise to many persons. The
bulletin attracted much attention, and all
sorts of remarks were made. The people
would say: well, they have swung him OF
at last; I'm glad of it, and similar express
sions were made by some, while others would
say: That's 4 shame"
