u Co. dressed beef contract made by the
81. Paul road was among the number. and

Mr.. Pugh reported that the iron work for
the Third street bridge had been let to
Chicago firm and would be on hand in less
than ninety days. MI. Middleton said that
the board of public works would probably
act in accordance with recent decision of
the supreme court In a Minneapolis case.
in which it was held to be the duty of the
railroad, under the law of 1885, to build the
approaches as well as the bridge. If they
did they would simply take no action in the
matter. Mr.. Pugh said that there was a
difference between st. Paul and Minneapo-
lis in the circumstances surrounding the
cases. Minneapolis had never given up
any rights to the railroads. but st. Paul had
made an agreement with most of the
roads, that if they would erect bridges
when requested to do So the
city would build the approaches. He
thought the only point to be gained
was in making the city pay the expense of
the approaches relieving property owners
of assessments. The city and not the
people had given away the rights guaran-
teed by law and the bill should be paid out
of the general fund. On motion vote of
thanks was rendered the GLOBE for the in
terest it had shown in the affairs of the
bluff and the courtesy it had shown the
union. President Reed suggested that
more substantial appreciation should be
shown by every member subscribing for it.
1t was Immediately found that there was
but one member present who did not take
it and he promptly subscribed at the close
of the meeting.

Dick Warner.
1t is not generally known that Dick War
her, the well-known lacrosse player whose
face is familiar to every old settler in St.
Paul, was scalped by real live Indian,
painted red, but such is fact. 1t was the
25th of July, 1876. nearly ten years ago,
that Dick and party of friends were pros
pecting in the Black Hills for color"
The prospectOrs had camped and passed
the night in deep ravine. and after break
fast Dick walked up the trail ahead of the
other boys who followed with the pack
horses. Dick went over the brow of the
hill that the trail laid across, and was de-
scending on the side opposite from his COM
paniOns. lie was strolling leisurely along
studying the beauties Of nature and enjoy
ing his after breakfast smoke when his eyes
suddenly Tell on party OF
seven Indians camped, short
but few weeks since the Custer massacre,
and the redskins were considered dangerous
animals. The party of Indians espied Dick
about the time that he saw them. and one
tall buck arose. and whipping out his knife,
started for Warner on run. Dick turned
and set 2:29 pace toward his party, but
the Indian was too tleet-footed for him,
and just as they reached the crest of the
hill. and in full view of the men who were
slowly climbing the steep, the redskin over
took Dick, and placing his hands on his
shoulders, crushed him down between his
knees and drew his bowie through the
raven scalp-lock of his victim, but just as
his knife flashed in the morning sunlight a
member of Dicks party saw him, and
raising his rifle to his shoulder, drew a bead
on the aborigine, pulled the trigger, and the
Indian fell dead, shot through the head just
below the ear. Dicks bleeding scalp was
dangling over his left shoulder. but there
happened to be medical student in the
party, and he patched up the wound as
best he could. Dick has his own scalp and
that Of the Indian hanging from nail in
his room, and he guards them with vigil
ance that he might be expected to exercise
over crown of diamonds. There is a por-
ton of his head that won't raise hair, but
it is never noticed, as Dick wears what hair
he has long and combs it over the bleak and
barren stretch of Scaln.

scHEFFER WILL NOT FIGHT.
He Says He Has no Time to Give uI
10 Politics.

He Says He Has no Time to Give up
10 Politics,
Lieut.. Gov. Gilman was walking around
the rotunda of the Merchants last night
with springy step and cheerful cOunten-
ance. When GLOBE reporter asked him
il there was anything new, he replied
Nothing new. except that Scheffer has
withdrawn from the field and l have only
Gibbs and McGill to look out for"
When asked if Scheffers withdrawal
would not improve his chances for winning
the nomination. he said that it wouldn't
hurt him any; further than this he refused
to talk.
Hon. Albert Scheffer yesterday said that
he had concluded to keep out Of the fight
Said he:
1.-THE fight will be hot one, and no man
can go into the campaign with IL certainty Of
winning. He will have to take his chances.
If should en- ter the field l would not go in
confident that l would get the nomination,
although l have been assured by my friends
that can get it if / want 1T. l have looked
the situation over and don't think 1 af-
ford to devote the time that would be neces-
sary to make canvass and establish
thorough organization. My business
requires my attention, and if / should
go into the fight l should have to neglect it
to certain extent, besides this campaign
will cost money. Personally Gilman. McGill,
Gibbs and myself are the best of friends and
they are strong men. Who will get the NOM
ination is more than I can tell. McGill l
don't think is as strong as his friends claim
he is, and his chances are about equal with
Gibbs. Gilman is a thorough organizer and
shrewd worker, and while he isn't popular
with the people at large, he keeps his forces
well in line and is always on the outlook for
new combinations that will help him out"
Mr.. Scheffer leaves tonight for San
Francisco, to attend the annual encamp-
ment of the G. A. R., and he will remain
away from the city four weeks.
Maj. Wilson said last night that the with
drawal of Scheffer would help out Gilman.
j. E. Osborn said:
The withdrawal of Scheffer will brighten up
Gilman's prospects materially, and now the
Democrats have better show to elect gov
ernor than they ever had before. If Scheffer
had gone into the fight, he would have been
nominated and elected over any man in the
state that could have been pitted against
him.

ON DAYTON,s BLUE
will Soon be More Police, Street Cars
and a Bridge.

At the opening of the regular meeting of
the Dayton's Bluff union last evening the
committee appointed to examine into the
Ontario or installment plan of public as
sessments reported in favor of the plan and
suggested that steps be taken to further the
interests of the movement. The committee
offered a resolution reciting that the billy
condition of Daytons bluff requires extra
ordinary expenditures for street improve
mentS; that improvements are retarded be-
cause of the limited means Of majority of
the population on whom assessments fall
heavily, while they would favor the i'm
provements if the burden could be lightened
and recommending that the secretary be in
structed to ask all similar unions
to appoint delegate to meet with
one from the Dayton's Bluff
union to aid competent attorney to frame
bill to be submitted to the legislature
The sentiment of the union was heartily in
favor OF the system and the resolution was
adopted. Mr. Middleton reported that adj
dltlonal police would be appointed for the
bluff on the completion Of the substations.
A. Pugh of the committee on street rail-
ways read letter from Thomas Lowry
stating that the tracks would be laid on
completed, and it was expected to have the
track begun during July. He said that all
arrangements had been made and that the
system would be extended to Plum street
On motion of Mr.. Pugh the committee
was instructed to ask Mr. Lowry to
extend the system to Car, IN mt street.

bids were rejected for the Toronto avenue

board is unanimous in the opinion that
Robert street should be paved from Seventh

very necessary changes in the grade should
be made first. The proposed Atlantic street

the sanitary committee of section l, of the
Seventh ward appeared before the board of
health yesterday afternoon, with reference
to securing some dumping ground for the
offal and refuse of the slaughter houses aft

discussion of an informal nature was in
dulged in by these gentlemen who repre-
sented that number of property owners
had been conferred with to- see if the
slaughter house firms could be permitted To
use part of their premises. so as to reach
the river to deposit the offal, but this has
been unsuccessful. They decided to SUBJ
NIT the matter to the board of health. and
ask if no dumping ground could be located
that steps be Immediately taken
TO bring about the entire removal of the
slaughter houses. which residents pro-
nOunce an intolerable nuisance. On. Aid
Petcsl's motion the matter was referred to
Health Officer Jones, City Engineer Rund-

visit the slaughter house district soon to
look over the situation and see what remedy
can be applied. There is quite an agitation
among residents to have the slaughter
houses removed. The Pierce Bros have
finally withdrawn their petition for slaugh-
ter house at the Transfer.

After some clever work Detectives Dan
O'Connor and Dan Ahern caught Frank
Mueller at Forney's restaurant yesterday
and locked him up under the charge of
stealing over 1900 cigars from Albenberg

was formerly an employee at the Hotel AS

bar was relieved recently. The officers
found 1, 100 'Queen of st. Paul' cigars IN
his room.
