A SCHOOL WAR,
In Which ST. Paul Park Outyotes
Newport PeopIe

st. Paul Park and Newport have been,
for some time past. at loggerheadS re-
garding school matters. Things almost
came to a climax on Friday last, the oc-
casion of the annual school meeting.
The trouble arose from the fact that
ST. Paul Park people wanted to vote
School District No. Sc independent,
thinking that they would thus secure
better school service. The Newport
people wouldn't have it that way, and
turned out EN- maSSe III every convey
ance the town could muster. arriving at
the meeting house in drcves. ID. B.
Cook, one of the directors, stood Oh the
steps of the building in which the meet
ing occurred, with the keys In his
pocket, and denied the Newport crowd
admission, until the crowd became
furious and compelled the opening Of
the doors. The South Park people were
onto the Newport crowd, and every
able-bodied man in the place and some
of the cripples started for the school
house. When the turbulent gathering
had got ready for business. I'll. E. Jones,
of Newport, moved to organize, and
limit the time of voting to o'clock.
This raised fresh howl, which was
finally quieted, and the election of Will
lam Fowler as chairman, E. A. Parker
as assistant, and d. b. Black as secre-
tary, was accomplished.
After a most disorderly meeting
vote was taken, resulting in favor OF
the park peoples project by a vote of

Continued PerenDiaiIy by Su-
preme Court Decision.
Henry Scott, the Hinckley murderer,
must continue to languish in the state
prison at Saltwater. He appealed to
the supreme court upon an alleged
error of the trial judge, and yesterday
the higher body dismissed his appeal.
Upon an Indictment for murder in the
first degree, Scott was. in the Pine
county district court, found guilty of
murder in the second degree, which
under the penal code involves homi-
cdal design, but without generalization.
The appellate bench i'll the syllabus
filed yesterday. say the defendant in a
criminal trial who valves his right
to challenge juror peremptorily when
the juror is called, has not the right to
do so after the panel is completed, al
though the jury has not been sworn.
dence, the admiSSibility Of which de-
ponds upon the fact having been COM
municated to the defendant, unless such
communication is shown. Under Sec
tons 10 and 20 of the penal code, an
uncomfortable and insane impulse to
commit crime in the mind of one who
is conscious of the nature and gravity
of the act, or that it was wrong, is not
allowed as a defense. A homicide is
not justifable and the defendant wholly
irresponsible, even if The killing was in
self-defense, if in fact the defendant,
armed with a deadly weapon, sought
out the deceased, and, by insulting Ian
guage. Intentionally provoked the as
sault of the deceased, and with the Dur
pose of using his weapon in an emer-
gency. The opinion was written by

That Chadwick, Carver ct al, the
qunodam real estate and mortgage loan
sharks, who at present are out on bail,
are getting deeper in the consomme of
their own make is very evident from
new facts concerning their peccadilloes
that are constantly springing up. Judge
Egan secured another valuable witness
against them the other day in the person
of Mrs. Davis, who keeps boarding
house at 155 East Twelfth street. and in
consequence he feels highly elated. She
informed him that she was being de-
frauded by Chadwick and his partners,
who were attempting to seize her furni-
ture, and wanted them arrested. A
GLOBE reporter called on her yesterday,
and to him she told the following story:
my furniture is worth $1,000. James
Flanagan had mortgage on it for $500,
and about two months ago, as | could
not pay - off, he foreclosed and had it
sold at sheriff's sale. | did not care
to lose the furniture, as it was all had,
so 1 went to Chadwick, Carver & Co.,
and made arrangements with them to
buy it again of the party who had Sc
cured it from Mr.. Flanagan. They did
so for $3.50 and note of $50 which I
gave, and took another mortgage on it
for security. There were number of
my carpets and all my silverware, how
ever, which did not get. and which
Chadwick kept, or at least | think so,
as he never gave it to M. After awhile
he sent man to my house to
board who went by the name of
Carlson, and Chadwick and. Carver
came to visit him every day, and ap-
peared very Solicitous over the affairs
of the house. 1 asked Mr.. CaIson what
kind of work he was doing, and he said:
4 am doing crooked work for Chad
wick asked him what he meant, and
he said he was putting up jobs so as to
get mortgage snaps. He finally left;
but one day a man by the name of
Cakes came here. and asked for Peter
jackson, the proprietor of the place.
1 told him 1 was the proprietor; then
he said that man giving the name of
Jackson had sold him mortgage
of $50 on my furniture, repre-
senting that it was his own.
| knew from the description he gave
me of the man that it was Carlson, and
that he had put one of his jobs up on
me. Last Friday Chadwick came with
a constable and was going to sell me-
out. l told him that if he touched a
thing | would have him arrested, and
expose him and the whole gang. He
said: If you do that Tll kill you.''
This morning they came again, but the
constable weakened, and would do
nothing. Chadwick told me that he
wanted the matter hushed up, and
would pay this man Cakes. who had the
second and bogus mortgage, $50 to keep
still. They are trying to sell my fur
niture ON two mortgages, and one of
them bogus one, and l don't propose
to let them, so l will go before the grand

Ex-Convict Barrett Given {
Chance, but Again Goes Wrong

Chance, but Again Goes Wrong.
Last October William c. Barrett was
released from the Saltwater prison,
having served two years term for
horse stealing. Before the law laid its
clutches on Barrett's liberty he lived in
Minneapolis with wife and child, who
were both dependent upon him for sup
port. When released from prison he app
piled to DR.. Hart, of the board of cor
rections and charities, for assistance,
pledging himself to lead an honest life
if encouraged by Mr.. Hart. Mr.. Hart,
who had previously come upon Barrett's
family through the work entailed upon
his Office as secretary of the board, took
quite an interest in the eX-cOnVIct and
extended him a helping hand. Since
then Barrett has fallen back upon his old
evil propensities, and at last reports he
had successfully practiced bits of fraud
and theft in Minneapolis, st. Paul and
other cities. Secretary Hart, hoping to
intercept his downward path to ruin
again, Swore out warrant for his arrest
for soliciting subscriptions for the
Prison Mirror and collecting the sub
scription price and appropriating the
same to his own use. He gulled about
forty Minneapolis and st. Paul people
in this way, and was about to work the
st. Paul National bank on Saturday aft
ernoon, when Secretary Hartrecognlzed
the crook and effected his arrest. Bar
rett was taken to Minneapolis. and gave
bail for his appearance yesterday morn

BURKE SAFE I'm CHICAGO.
He Passed Through ST. Paul in
the Morning. Without Incident.


Burke. the Winnipeg suspect, passed
through st. Paul early yesterday morn
ing Ell route for the scene of the nOtori-
Gus Cronin murder. He arrived Oh the
o'clock train over the Manitoba road,
heavily manacIed and closely guarded
in a special car by Chief of Police Hub
bard and squad of Chicago detectives.
Curtains at the car windows and doors
were closely drawn, and entrance to the
car at either end was guarded by two
detectives on the platform and line of
officers in the veStibule. The special
car was switched from the Manitoba
tracks and sidetracked in the lower end
of the Milwaukee yards, below DaytOn'S
bluff, where the suspect was speedily
transferred to another special car when
the Milwaukee train pulled out. A
large crowd of the mOrbldly curious
gathered at the union depot to get
glimpse Of the notorious culprit. but the
only successful ones were few train
men who observed the transfer in the
freight yards. MartinSon, driver of the
wagon that conveyed the mysterious
trunk, and Carlson, owner of the cottage
rented by the conSpiratOrS. were also on
the car.
SAFE IN CHICAGO.
CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-Martin Burke, the
Cronin suspect, was landed safely in
Chicago few minutes before 10 o'clock
tonight. Contrary to expectation, he
was not brought to the union depot, but
was taken from the train at Canal and
Fulton streets by Chief Hubbard and
conveyed, probably, to the county jail.
A swarm of reporters and many curious
people had gathered at the depot to see
the prisoner, but they were disap-
pointed, as was also a body of detect
ives who had been sent there under
command of a lieutenant to guard
against SURPRISES.

brary Got Into New Quarters.
Five of the members of the library
board assembled IN the committee room
in the city hall, at 5 O'Clock yesterday
afternoon and proceeded to go through
the monthly budget of business. Most
of the business was of such strictly
routine character, that it would be of no
public interest. The report of the Ii
brarian. Mrs. Mccain, was interesting.
1t showed that during the month Of
July 1862 books had been is
sued, which was an advance
over the same month of
last year, 5,943 being all the books is
sued then. Up to the 1st of August there
had been 5,6S1 registrations, which was
1862 more than last year at the same time.
She also reported that the library had
been made present of ahandsome life
size bust of Prescott, the historian, by
Morgan Brooks, of this city. Secretary
III. II. Hart, of the state board of eorrec-
lions and charities, had also presented
the library with full report of the
work of the board. The report was ac-
cepted. A number of bills, amounting
to So, 500, for the fitting up of the pres
ent library quarters. came up for audit
ing, but nothing was done with them,
as 1t was understood that the court house
commission would pay them. Other
minor bills for books, ETC., were passed.

A seedy-looking granger of about
forty years of age stood leaning up
against the walls on the outside of the
Merchants hotel yesterday afternoon,
gazing meditativeiy at the living pan
Drama of faces as they fitted past him.
He was a tall fellow, and decidedly
husky-looking, and as he stood there
running his fingers through the yellow
ish hirsute that protruded in ringlets
from under his chin. he presented
quite formidable appearance, yet very
innocent and contiding. After a while
couple of slick-iookins young fel-
lows approached and engaged him
in conversation. He appeared quite in
terested in it all, and as though he was
grateful to the well-dreSsed young men
for their kindness in talking to him.
Finally, one of the men left him, and
the other. becoming confidential, took
him by the arm, and attempted to lead
him up the street. The old fellow was
up to snuff, however, and thought he
was being worked by couple of con
men, as he shook his arm loose from the
others grasp and refused to stir.

"Oh, come on" said the other, coax

granger's arm.
This seemed to awaken the old mans
ire, and. without a moments warning,
his right hand shot out, and took Mr..
Sliekman a clip in the mouth, who inn
mediately turned the corner, and hur-
ried down Third street as fast as his
legs would carry him.
When asked what the trouble was,
