Lastevening about $50 an incident
occurred at the residence of man
named Einhoff residing on the fats,
which caused considerable consterna-
ton at the time and much subsequent
laughter. A young man who boards
with the family accidentally upset a
small Kerosene lamp, which fell to the
floor aud burst, scattering the OIL in all
directions, and completely saturating
the furry coat of a sleepy Thomas cat
which had been lying on the floor near
by. The animal at once took fire frola
the flaming wick Of the defunct lamsj,
and in its terror ran up tie
lace curtains, which took fire and
burned up in a flash. The still burning
cat then jumped through broken win
dow pane and made for a barn in the
vicinity and got into the hay-mow,
where it was pursued and its sutteTlngs
ended. Luckily, the ceat had all been
burned from the suffering animal ere it
reached the barn, which contained sew
erai tons of hay and other infiammable
material. No very serious damage was
done, the fire in the house being eXtin-
guished at once by the joint efforts OF
the family.

Attorney Crum, of Fargo, arrived in
the city yesterday, and in the afternoon
made the reported application before
the supreme court for stay in the pro
ceedings in the case of John Brown.
the Moorhead murderer. Brown was
convicted Jan. "a for the murder of Po-
liceman Ross, and by Judge Mills was
sentenced to be hung. Gov. Merriam
fixed the execution for the 18th prOX.
One of the grounds of the appeal
is that there did not appear any motive
for the crime; that the man fired his
pistol at random, without premeditating
the murder of the policeman. Counsel
insisted that Brown should not, there
fore, be convicted OF murder in the
first degree. Chief Justice Gilfillan said
the court would consider the applica-
ton and announce its decision this
morning.

THE TENNIS SEASON

The tennis season will be formally
opened Oh Decoration day by the Min
nesota Lawn Tennis club with the first
tournament of the season on its club
grounds at Hamline. The prellminaries
are being played OF and all necessary
arrangements have been made for the
final contests OH Thursday afternoon.
Tennis is more popular than ever this
season, and is rapidly becoming here, as
in the East, an attractive outdoor sport
for athletic young men. The local club
is very prosperous. and. owingito the ill.,
creased membership, asfound 1t neces-
sary to add two new courts to it's
grounds to accommodate the players.

exciting and entertaining, handicaps

1T COSTS MUCH MONEY.
To Maintain the New Court house

and Shortage Is Imminent.
Where is the money coming from to
maintain the new court house?othat is
the question. The books of the county
predict pinch in the county's finances
few months hence. At the present
rate of monthly cost. it will require
$4,000 to pay the necessary expenses
for running the great municipal loom.
Sixteen janitOrS, it has been found the
past week, are none too many to keep
the place neat and clean, and the engi-
neer's force still cries for, and apparently
needs, help. The general utility gang
which will be employed to work about
the grounds and dust Dayidson's smoke
from the outside of the building will
add another snug sum to the eXpendl-
ture. The appropriation for erecting
the building is all right, and when the
auditor exhibits his final statement of
the building commission, it will show
residue of about $4,000. Where the
trouble will lie is ins the draft upon the
direct county fund, which is simmering
down to a mere shadow of the original
fund of s125,O00. Seventy-five thousand
of this is disbursed for salaries to the
county officials, leaving $4,000 with
which to meet all other MINOR eXpendi-
lures of the county for the enter year.
When the county auditor approved
the valuation of the county's taxable
property for the ensuing year. it was
upon the basis of the assessed valuation
of the previous year, and in that year no
such sudden and great outlay was eX-
perienced nor contemplated. The
county taxes were made as low as pos
sible, and no provision was made for
taking care of the new court house.
There is no doubt but that the general
fund will be exhausted long before the
end of the current year. and the county
will certainly be ''hard up" Bank
loans will have to carry the crisis until
next years tax can be drawn upon, and
this will necessarily be higher than
heretofore. County taxes, therefore,
will be heavier next year.

ASSURANCE DOUBLY SURE.
The New Law Is Safe, But Officials
Pronounce 1t Clumsy.


Pronounce 1t Clumsy.
The law enacted by the last legislature
affecting the terms upon which city
contracts may be performed, by prac-
teal application yesterday, proved to
be one of the ''unwise laws of the
state" The city contractors appeared
with their sureties before Judge Wilkin
for his approval of their bonds, which,
are always given to secure the city
against any harm or damage arising out
of breach of contract by the parties
agreeing to do the city's work. The
law provides that two OF more sureties
shall affix their names to each bond, and
each of them is required to justify before
one of the judges of the district court
in double the sum specified in the bond
above their debts and exemption. The
city officials speak very unfavorably of
the new law, which they declare to be
absurd and unnecessary. They say
they will necessarily be compelled to
enlist the services of a new clerk to de-
vote his whole time working on these
bonds. Briefly the law exacts as fol-
lows: Above everything the city is to
be protected; the city attorney shall pre-
pare the bonds. and when properly eX-
ecuted they are to be approved ny
district judge. Claims for labor must
have been paid before contractors
shall receive estimates, and no con-
tracts are to be assigned or
transferred; if, however, such con-
tracts are assigned or surrendered
the sureties thereon are not released
from responsibility. If sureties become
insolvent, new bOndsmen are to be
given, and at the failure Of the con-
tractor the board of public works is to
complete the work. and the excess Of
cost is to be sued for against the sure
ties. Previously defaulting contractors
are debarred from securing new work,
and sureties iustifying for more than
they are worth are liable for perjury,
and false affidavit that the labor is all
paid is evidence Of perjury.
The consensus of opinion is that it is
lowering the dignity of the district
court, and that all these precautions are
entirely unnecessary. In all the history
of the city but one contractor, working
on Smith park, has ever been unable to

The twenty-eight cases Of the Upper
Levee syndicate against the Bohemian
sQuatters, involving their rights on the
property known as the Bohemian flats,
came up in the municipal court before
Judge Cory yesterday afternoon. Albert
and Thomas Raszack, represented by
Attorneys Willrich and Lambert, were
the only contestants, and had their
cases set for trial for Friday afternoon
at 2 o'clock. They claim an occupancy
OF twenty years, and consequent owner
ship under squatters' rights. The other
twenty-six cases were allowed to go by
default, and judgment was entered
against the defendants. Writs of resti-
tuition will, in all probability, be applied
for at once, and the sheriff directed to
evict the squatters. A few families
have already begun moving out.

wheat was consigned upon bill of lad
ing, the bank to hold the same and col

delivered the wheat without exacting

they claim they cannot recover frop
