SO Many Workingmen are Opposed tc
Socialism, by Professor" Garside OF

claimed any idea Of anarchy, and said the
reason workingmen were opposed to
socialism was that they confounded il

Ariel G. Harris has left Minneapolis.
He is well known newspaper man who
has contributed to nearly every publica-
cation in the city during the
past five years. He affected the
temperance racket and was the leader
OF the Murphy club movement. Next
he allied himself with the White Cross
society and managed to gain reputa-
ton as mOraliSt, although he was at the
time and had been for some time pre-
viously intimate with lady who made
a living as telegraph operator. With
out making a long story short or
a short story long, it is sufficient to say
that Mr.. Harris has left Minneapolis,
and wife and two children whom he
had practically deserted two years be-
fore, and has gone to South America in
company with Mrs. E. j. Frederick, a
lady who has. during the past two
years, filled position as type
writer in the employment of the
Minnesota Abstract company, which has
offices in the Minnesota Loan and Trust
cOmpany'S building on Nicollet avenue.
Mr.. Harris and Mrs. Fredericks used to
look into each others eyes and wonder
what love really meant by the hour and
ahalf. Charles was decidedly intel
lectual, and Mrs. Fre6ericks pretended
that she understood him, so two
found themselves quite congenial. 1t

A STRIP OF THE ISLAND.
The Now Famous Eastman Strip
in the Courts.

in the Courts.
Judge Lochren was engaged yeSter-
y in hearing the suit of Sarah r.
Eastman against the st. Anthony Falls
Voter Power company to eject them
from strip of land extending from the
suspension bridge around the northern
half of Nicollet island to the stone arch
bridge, and lying between Park street
the same strip of land that
the city asked congress to cede to the
park commission for a boulevard. it
being generally understood that it still
belonged to the government, but which
w. w. Eastman claimed to have ac-
quired title to as follows: In 1882 he
called the attention of the city assessor
to the fact that this strip of land. which
is the river bank, lying between the
street which runs around the island and
the river, was not taxed, and said that
it belonged to him. The assessor
consequently assessed it for taxes and
Mr.. Eastman allowed the taxes to be-
come delinquent, and when it was sold
wife, bid it in for 5000. He now wishes
to eject the water power company.
which has been using the banks for
the purpose of building piers
to which to attach their booms;
and also for flowage from the
dam, which is huilt just below the
island. The water power company,
as defense, claims that the property
in dispute is part of the bed of the
river, and in high water is almost
entirely covered with water; and, as
further defense, produces a deed
from Hercules l. Dousman and wife,
w. W. Eastman and John l.. Merriam,
dated May 90, 1867, granting it the right
to use that part of Nicollet island lying
next to the river and OH top of the bank
for the purpose of building piers, max
ing landings and for alta ching bOoms
and claims that under this deed it has
been in peaceable and continuous
possession for more than twenty years.
Most of the testimony introduced yes
terday was in regard to what consti-
tuted the river bed and what was re-
garded as the river bank. The trial of
the case will be resumed this morning.
One of the parties interested in the
suit, while engaged in conversation
after court had adjourned, said that
Eastman never claimed to own
any land between the street and
proof of his assertion, said that when
the city council ordered a sidewalk
around the island, the property owners,
including Eastman, claimed that the
walk would be largely used by the
public as promenade, and that the
sidewalk, OH that account, should
be built on the side of the
street next the river, where
there was no abutting property to be
taxed, and that the walk was afterward
built on that side of the street and paid
for by the city. Eastman now wants
this land so that he can fill in the river
sufficient to build row of tenements
facing Oh Park street, and for this pur-
pose the land is worth several hundred
thousand dollars.
