Judge Seagrave Smith in the district
court yesterday filed a decision in the
habeaS corpus case of Ole Erickson, one
of the men who was arrested for dis
orderly conduct during the strike and
S.ntenced to ninety days at the work
house and to pay fine of 500, in de-
fault of this payment of which he must
serve an additional ninety days. The
Judge holds that Judge Emery exceeded
his authority as the jurisdiction OF the
court, the same as that of justices of the
peace, only allowed him to sentence
man to ninety days or to pay fine OF
800, but not both, and that the Ordi-
nance under which the sentence was
given is unconstitutional. In his deciS-
ion the Judge SAID:
The supreme court of the state has decided
that prosecutions for violation of Il city or
dinance are not criminal eases. that they are
quasi criminal. From the argument used IN
the opinion. understand the court 10 hold
that they are not criminal eases within the
meaning of the state constitution.
If that is the settled law OF this state, then
/ am of the opinion that the provisions OF
section of article l of the constitution,
which provides among other things that
| there shall be neither slavery nor lnyolun-
tary servitude in the state, otherwise than in
the punishment of crime, whereof the party
shall have been duly convicted, is an lnhl-
bition OH the power of the court to i'm
prison at hard labor IN this case. Although
the judgment of the court i'll terms does not
order the relator to be confined at hard
labor, but the commitment does, thereby
placing the punishment beyond the authori-
ty of the court to infiict in any other than a
criminal case. and is void. People VS.. Tur.

horn OF the dilemma one takes in the matter
If it lisa criminal case the court has no au-
thority to impose greater punishment than
that authorized to be imposed by the justice
of the peace, and in doing so exceeded its
authority and the judgment is void. If it is
not criminal proceeding the court exceed
ed its authority in committing the relator to
hard labor during the term of his imprison-
ment, and for that reason the commitment
was void. In either event the commitment

WILL INCREASE THE FORCE.
That Is the Only Change the New
Board Will Make,

The stories that have been going the
rounds of late regarding the probable
course of the new police commission,
and in which the names of Ed A. Ste
vens and Charles r. Hill even have been
mentioned in connection with expected
changes, seem to have been entirely
without foundation. Commissioner
Gjertsen said yesterday that so far as
he knew no changes of any kind were
contemplated except the increasing of
the force to 200 men, which will be
done as soon as the council appropri-
ates sufficient money for that pur-
pose. The force has long been
considered too small by those who know
the most about it, and the recent strike
troubles have proved c0nclusively that
the regular force would be OF little avail
in any serious disturbance.
Commissioner Guile also denied any
knowledge of coming changes, and
said: II can, of course, speak for my
Self only, but l will say that no man
will be discharged with my consent. ex-
There has also been report or rumor
that Maj. Norton's head was likely to

the place was crowded, while con-
slant stream of visitors filed through
the door. Two bartenders were busily
engaged in waiting on the thirsty.
Whisky, beer, imported cigars, and even
champaign was served as called for, and
pay was not asked for. Sure enough
the sign meant no deception. On the
other side of the room a mammoth free
lunch was being dished out.

Of them drew $4,000, twentieth of the
capital prize, another drew $500, and
two others came in for smaller amounts.
Under instructions they drew on the
lottery company for the money, and it
arrived Saturday all safe, although
they did not get it until Monday. The
two benefciaries of the providential
stroke of luck were simply 'ssetting it
up'' to the public in the exuberance of
their joy. II feel pretty good and I'd
like to have everybody else feel the
same way" remarked Col. Tanner.
"Itll cost $500 or 5000 for this spread.
I didn't know there were as many
people in Minneapolis as have been in

have heard the news at st. Paul and
other suburban points, and came to
town to join us. Well, that's right.
The more the merrier."
At the other end of the bar Mr.. Shelley
presided as host and was asking every
body to have something more. "Cice-

anxious man around. II believe dey'll

remarked with dubious shake of the
head.

A Short Week for Milling Opera

The Northwestern Miller in its issue
to-day, will say: There was slight
gain in the flour output last week. Fiji
teen mills were operated, but only eight
ran full time. the rest getting In two to
four days. The aggregate output was
1O2, $50 bbls.-averaging II, 1875 bbls daily
against 100. $50 bbls the week before,
and 1871, 800 bbls for corresponding time
in 1883. The present week will be short
one for milling operations. The centen-
NAL holiday yesterday was generally
observed on the platform. only one mill
running during the day. This cut off
about 5000 barrels at one fell sWOop.
Then the mills in operation are less IN
number than week ago. Three
dropped out of the active list Saturday
night, doing away with nearly 1000
barrels more daily. Another making
1900 barrels is likely to stop within
day or two. From present indications,
the weeks production will not exceed
$4,000 barrels. The water power is all
that could be desired, more or less run
ming to waste over the flush boards.

Maben and Smith Confront Each
Other in Court.

OC1cr IN court.
The case of the lawyer, A. D. Smith,
against e. 3. Maben, of the Free Lance,
was on trial in the big court room in the
district court yesterday before Judge
Young. The seats within the railing
were all filled by attorneys interested in
the case, and great deal of feeling was
manifested in the trial. The ac-
ton is for $4,000 damages for
malicious prosecution. The first
cause of the alleged malicious action
was last fall at the election of delegates
to the Democratic convention in the
third precinct Of the Fourth ward. At
this caucus Malen was displeased with
Smiths action and had him arrested for
endeavoring to run the caucus-violat-
ing the Whiteman election law. He
charged that he allowed strangers to
vote after they had been challenged by
qualified voters and prevented legal
voters from voting. Smith says he was
arrested but was discharged by Judge
Bailey, who, he says, affirmed there was
no ground for arrest. The case will
occupy the courts attention all day
TODAY.
