terday morning long enough to dispose of
the DRINKS and disorderly. Several protested
that they had right TO get drunk on Christ
mas and appeared to think that the court was
ruthlessly interfering with a heaven-born
right.
Colby Moses, proprietor of the Parker
| house, was yesterday afternoon presented
with an elegant gold-headed cane, the gift OF
the guests of the hotel. The presentation
was made very happily BY W. j. Clark. As
Mr. Moses has recently received sprained
knee the gift was peculiarly appropriate, and
\ the cigars and neat little speech followed.
Aid. Mills was yesterday presented with an
elegant sealskin cap by the members of the
| police department at the North Minneapolis
4 Cant Martin RuarfpnuiQQ made the
presentation speech. and although it was his
l maiden effort at oratory, did the honors very
easily and gracefully.

and Railway News. banqueted the employees

Can't. s. p Snider finds himself in an
1 anomalous position, as the result of his con-
1 test. In the first place, Matt Gross was
ahead in the Official count and will take his
4 seat in the legislature, where Capt. Snider
4 will have to carry his contest Before that
| contest can be made the committees will be
appointed, and of course the captain cannot
4 be included. Then comes the contest, which,
/ as far as gone. shows H. G. Merrill ahead of
Snider. Merrill made no contest and has no
1 claim TO present, but the legislature is su-
preme and can seat him or whoever it sees
4 fit. If justice is done and the high man be
l seated (supposing the present count to stand)
| the legislature cannot seat Snider, because he
\ is lower than Merrill, yet Merrill has made no
4 contest. Gross has the seat, Snider contests
4 it and Merrill has received the most votes.
/ The legislature is judge. Snider has the most
influence. Merrill the most votes and Gross
1 the election on the official count. The COM
| mittees will be made up, and it is said Snider
1 will not want a seat that gives him no COM
| nittee work. 1t is a singular position all
around.
