AN INTERESTING POINT.
Judge Lochren Renders a Decis
ion of the Utmost Importance.

Judge Lochren Renders Decis-
ion of the Utmost Importance.
One of the most interesting points
which ever came up in the criminal
court of Hennepin county arose before
Judge Lochren yesterday morning, and
the stand taken 10y his honor is liable to
create considerable comment among the
various attorneys, as well as among
men who are indicted for burgiary:g
y Some time ago the fish store OF r.
M. GlasSo, in South Minneapolis, was
broken into and some goods carried
away. These goods were subsequently,
found in the possession of II. A. Swan
berg, an eX-park policeman, and "a
brother-in-law of the man Olson, who
was shot and killed by Patrolman
Shelby some time ago. SWanberg
was indicted by the grand jury
on two counts-First, breaking and
entering with intent to steal; sec
ond, larceny from the building after
breaking and entering. Swanberg was
tried yesterday morning on the first ~
dictment, and after tedious examina-
ton was found not guilty. His attor--
neys moved that the second Indictment
be nolled. but County Attorney Jami-
son objected, on the ground that two
separate and distinct offenses were COW
cred in the two indictments. The at
torneys for Swanberg then interposed
plea in bar of former acquittal, hold
ing that man cannot be twice placed
in jeopardy for the same offense. The
matter was submitted to Judge Loeb
rem, who, after hearing both sides. held
that the plea of the prisoners attorneys
was bad, and stated that in his opinion
the party might be convicted, on the
second Indictment, of the larceny which
occurred in the building after the break
ing and entering charged in the first in
dictment. After this holding Swan
berg was placed on trial on the second
Indictment

BACKING UP OPINIONS.

Rev. James McGolrick's offer of $1,000
TO the editor of the Tribune if he would
produce proof that the doctrines of the
Catholic church teach ''Do evil that
good may come," seems to have set the
style in Minneapolis of backing up
ones opinions with cash. Now Aid
Barrows and c. j. Buell. are to the front
with offers to put up. the stuff, if
their assertions prove to be erroneous.
This is decidedly American. When
''money talks" talk is no longer cheap.
It has market value, and in this gain
loving age man rarely offers to wager
he is right unless he believes he is go
inSto win. AS an earnest of intention
and frmly rooted belief, the cold PUNK
of the cartwheel silver dollar carries
with it L favor or conviction which can
hardly be overcome by the whispering
pine eloquence of the spell-binder, nor
the logic of the jurist.

"A NIGHT WI ROBBIE BURNS
The Caledonian Club Celebrates
the Famous Poets Birthday.

The Caledonian Club Celebrates
the Famous Poets Birthday.
The reception and banquet given at
the West hotel last evening by the CAL
edonian club of Minneapolis was most
fitting recognition of the ami
versary of the birth of the
world-renowned Scotch poet, Rob-
ert Burns. The evening was most
enjoyable one in every respect and was
thoroughly enjoyed by the large and
fashionable gathering. There was 2 re-
ception in the Motel parlors from S to 0,
before the banquet and speeches. The
parlors were handsomely decorated
with live and cut flowers and foliage
plants, and presented pleasing sight.
The guests, as they arrived, were re-
ceived by p. l.. Simpson, Hector
Baxter, W. c. Allen, Rev. d.
d. McLaurin, James Shearer, j.
ID. Forbes, William Stevenson,
DIR. Charles Simpson, James Boyd, Jr.,
II. ID. Brown, }. S. McClary, ID. A. Nc
Arthur and others. Here greetings and
congratulations were exchanged until
about 8 o'clock, when the doors of the
handsome dining hall were thrown open
and the company passed in, to the
DAM orchestra. which was half con-
cealed behind a bank of flowers in one
of the anterooms.
The dining tables were laid in the
form of hollow square, with the open
end at the lower end of the hall. They
were ornamented with handsome set
pieces of fruit and flowers. The menu
cards were exceedingly handsome, and
each guest preserved one as a souvenir.
At the top of the cover was Scotch
thistle, with the words, ''Nemo Me
lmpune Lacessit'' under it. In
the center of the page, in
tint, was a "bunch of blue bells of
Scotland" The words, "a NIGHT w.
Burns. Fifth Annual Burns Banquet
of the CALIFORNIAN Club, of Minneapolis,
at the West Hotel, Friday Evening,
Jan. 25, 1885," On the other side of the
leaf was the menu, and Oh the third
page was the entertainment programme,
and on the last page were the names of
the committees. After a short prayer
proper began and most pleasing one
it was. The $50 ladies and gentlemen
present enjoyed it to the utmost.
Hector Baxter officiated as master of
ceremonies and acquitted himself with
honor. After the supper was over the
annual address was made by Chief p.
l.. Simpson. 1t is 1870 years ago, said
he. since Robhle Burns was born. and
while he has now passed away his
works live after him. Tonight his
name is on the lips of hundreds of men
and women all over the world. The
25th OF January is not only Burnsday,
but it is also Scotland'S day, and for
that reason especially we should be
proud. In continuing his address Mr..
Simpson said that one OF the greatest
faults(?) was his love for his old home
in Scotland. The toast 1.-THE President
of the United States aud the Queen of
Great Britain" was responded to by
DanZ' orchestra.
Gov. Merriam responded in pleasing
manner to The toast 'sThe State of Min

of the beauties ana the capacity OF
the city of Minneapolis. Other toasts
were: "Robert Burns" Rev, Robert
Christie; ''Sir Walter Scott" Prof. j.
F. DowDey; "Auld Scotia" DR.. j. III.
Hammond; "America," W. K. Hicks;
IAN Americans View of Scotland and
Scotchmen." Hon. II. G. Hicks; ''The
Lassies," james Gray. The speeches
were all well delivered and were list
ened to with considerable pleasure by
the company.
During the evening Miss Susie Nc
Kay and Malcolm Geddes sang number
of Scotch songs, which were well re-
ceived and warmly encored. The song
''Jock o. Hazeldean," by Miss Mckay,
was especially we'll delivered, and
the little lady was obliged to re-
sp0nd to repeated encOres until she
was nearly tired out. All in all, the
evening was a most delightful one IN
every respect, and the wish of every
guest present was, MAY the Caledon-
ian club never fade. and may all its en-
tertainments prove as successful as this
one"

ATTORNEYS OPINIONS.

The following interviews with attOr-
heys probably reflect the average senti-
ment OF attorneys concerning the pro-
posed increase of salaries of the munic-
ipal court Judges from $4,000 to $500:
}. w. Lawrence-I haven't time to
talk now. but | think that when they
succeed in getting lot of Republicans
III they increase the salaries all round.
If they were Democrats they would not
think of it.
Ace P. Abell-Yes, the municipal
judges should be better paid in spite of
the promises of economy. They should
get about s., 900.
Judge NJ. B. Koon-In proportion to
the value of their services the salary OF
municipal judges at present is too low.
In proportion to the salaries paid other
judges it is high enough.
w. H. Donahue-That the salaries of
the judges of the municipal court should
be raised is certain, but it seems to me
that they should not be larger than
$1,000.
Frank NJ. Nye-I do not think the sal
aries are high enough for what is re-
CURED of the gentlemen who are on the
bench.
County Attorney Jamison-The salary
should be at least s., 900, and if | had
my say it would be $4,000. Any good
lawyer can earn that and the judges
should be suitably recompensed.
Robert l.. Penny-Certainly the sala-
ries should be increased, for the work is
hard and tedious, as every one who has
ever been in the court knows.
Judge Won Schlegell-The present
salary of $500 is altogether too small.
For myself, would not go and live in
that police court atmosphere for $4,000 a
year. A good man in that court should
receive good salary.
j. W. MolyneauX-The salaries are
high enough now in proportion to the
salaries paid other judges in the state.
The Judges of the district court receive
$4,000.
Matt Gallagher-It would seem to me
that the judges of the municipal court
should be paid more than they get at
present. Their time is fully occupied
and the position is not a stepping stone
to something better.

AN ARMFUL OF WOOD.
His Wife Sick and Baby Dead
DISTRESSING Poverty

D. d. Spear caused the ar
rest of John Coleman, residing at
3,40S Third avenue South, for steal
ing an armful Of wood worth
about 10 cents. Coleman told
a story of want and restitution that was
pitiful. He has sick wife who is at
deaths point, and his house was cold, so
he ''borrowed'' an armful of wood from
his neighbor. One of his children died
a week ago, but he is so poor he
cannot bury it, and its body
is still in the house. His dis
tress touched the court, and sentence
was suspended. whereupon Spear
wanted to know if he wasn't to be made
to pay for the wood he had taken. At
this the court intimated that q man
should have little more charity than
to be so exacting as this, and said a
criminal court was not a collection
agency.
Coleman's real name is said to be
Bassford, and he was formerly en-
ployed by E. n. Lauer, the confec-
toner. He has been married about a
year.
Alex Isman, who lives with him and
who was also arrested for stealing wood,
was discharged.

SHAMBIO DISMISSED.
The Wheat Thieves Told Him a
Plausible Story,

The examination of Oliver Shambio,
the teamster charged with receiving
stolen wheat from Mike Miller and
Louis Larson and number of other
boys, was begun in the municipal court
Yesterday afternoon in the presence of
a large audience. Miller was the first
witness. He said the wheat had been
taken from full cars and had been sold
to Shambio and others for so cents a
bushel. Larson corroborated Miller's
story and added that the wheat was
always taken to Shambio's place at
night. Shambio made good appear
ance on the stand in his own behalf and
made out good case for himself. He
admitted buying some wheat, but stated
that the boys had told him they had
swept it up near the Western avenue
bridge. The court was favOrably inn
pressed with the mans story and dis
missed the case.

A MILD ROAST.
Judge Won Schlegeu Not Stuck
on the Board of Trade.

SIT amuses me greatly" remarked
Judge Schlegell yesterday, 'to hear
those board of trade men bowling about
reducing salaries and declaring that all
the men elected to the legislature from
Hennepin county pledged themselves to
see that the salaries Of county officials
were all reduced. In the first place. the
men elected did not pledge themselves
to see that salaries are reduced, or any
thing of the sort, but they did pledge
themselves to try and put all the offices
on salaried basis, instead of keeping
them under the fee system. | suppose
that the board of trade would like to see
the plan given by Hon. Tom Lucas put
into effect-that OF paying the county
officials $1.50 or So per day, just the
same as men on the street get. Suppose
that the board of trade would put a
man in the treasurer's or auditors of
fee, both responsible places, and then
pay him the magnificent salary of $3.50

last week, and the consumption of
barrels fell off in direct ratio. Three
or four of the cooper shops got the bulk
of the business, the two supplying the
Pillsbury mills, OF course, taking the
lead. In consequence of the lighter
call for barrels, the manufacture slight
ly exceeded the sales. The most of the
shops are making barrels three and
four days per week. with few doing
comparatively nothing.

An interesting feature was a contest
by the Vennese lady fencers for three
handsome gold medals. The number
of points were arranged so as to place
the contests on an equal footing, the
more expert ones being compelled to
give their opponents odds. The winners
were Miss Mathelde Jagermann, first
prize; Miss Marie Scherer, second
prize; Pauline Holzknecht, third
prize. The concluding event was
broadsword contest between Miss
Jagerman and Miss HOlzknecht,
which was won by Miss Jagerman, who
made five points straight. The audi
ence was very enthusiastic and it was
plain that the contests were in earnest.
