THIS is DIFFERENT.
Trial of Two Men Who Were
Slugged Instead of SIugging.

Slugged Instead of Smuggling.
Frank Spencer and James Mccarthy,
charged with assaulting Fred Mattison,
with the intention of holding him up
and robbing, him some time ago, were
put on trial in the district court yester-
day afternoon. Mattison was the first
witness. He is young fellow, well
built, and looked as though he might be
an athlete. He stated that on the even
ing of Jan. Is he was going along Sixth
avenue south when two men set upon
him and tried to rob him. He made a
fight, and after knocking the men down
took their hats and carried them to po-
lice headquarters. The next day In
spector Lawrence arrested the two men.
The attorney for the prisoners endeaV-
ored to get the witness ratified, but
made bad job of it.
''What were the men doing when you
first saw them?" asked the attorney.
"They were waiting for me to come
along. [ guess" was the quick re-
Spouse.
''How do you know that?"
swell, found out when l got to
where they WERE"
"Were you not afraid to 60 along when
you saw the two men standing there
waiting for you?'
"Perhaps 1 was little afraid, but l
did not propose to go out of my way in
order to get out of their way.''
"When Spencer jumped on your back
did Mccarthy hit you?'
'sNo, sir; he did not. He came at me
with one fist raised, but hit him before
he got a chance to hit me-"
''How did you know he was going to
hit you?"
ii did not know it for a certainty, but
it looked very much that way
The story of Spencer and Mccarthy
was to the effect that they had just
begged something to eat, and were
standing near the corner eating when
Madison came along. They both said
that Mattison made an attack upon
them, evidently thinking that they
were waiting to hold him up. They
never "held up" anybody in their lives,
and would not do such thing. Oh,
no; such thing might be done by some
men, but. not by them. Frank Nye
made the argument for the state.
The jury, after beng out three hours,
returned verdictOf not guilty.

PERTINENT REMARKS.

Manager Wettleson-No, it's not the
piouS meditation Of South Minneapolis
that was disturbed by Sundays skating
race, but the pious vegeta ton that is be-
ginning to grow in the streets of that
crank-governed portion of the city.
T. H. Lucas-lt would seem rather
funny for the United States, with its
thousands of acres of unoccupied lands,
TO go to war about some little islands in
the middle of the Pacific ocean.
j. P. McGaughey-lt's we'll enough
for Aid. Barrows to say he'll bet $1,000
that he can obtain more signatures OF
bona fide workingmen to petition to
have city work done at ten hours day
than we can for the eight-hour system.
He is perfectly aware that we haven't
got any money to wager. If he will
put up S., 600 to go to Labor temple in
case he loses, We'll go him once if we
lose.
j. n. Nind-It would be mighty I'M
fortunate thing for Minneapolis to have
the banks of the river bound up by
parks. as it is contemplated in the Vicln-
ity of the soldiers home. They could
not be used for manufacturing purposes
and the city would lose a vast amount OF
valuable water power.
w. E. Gooding-When a few minis
teral cranks thirsting for notoriety got
an injunction agsinst Sunday base ball
last summer, thereby causing me a loss
of $11 900, all had in the world, | never
made kick that thought all places of
amusement on Sunday should receive
the same treatment, but since L had a
chance to rent the park for a skating
race, and the authorities step i'll and
prohibit future use Of the park for any
purpose, think am justified in inquir-
ing if there is one law for me and an
other for others who have violated
the Sunday law for year past and the
police have not deemed it their duty to
interfere. 1t is somewhat like the glove
contest at the Washington rink, when
people who do not live a thousand miles
away from the city hall did not receive
their share of the gate receipts. Such
contests had to be stopped as demorallz-
ing in the extreme, and yet the law is
the same now as it has been for the past
two wears,

COUNCIL COMMITTEES.
A Busy Monday at the City Hail.
A Few side Issues.

A Few side Issues.
The gas committee amused itself with
budget of bills. and Light Inspector
Louis Runge and Manager Leonard, of
the Brush Electric Light company, did
little sparring over the ques-
ton of making reductions from
the Brush company's bill OH
account of lights which shed abroad no
refulgence. Mr.. Leonard contended
that he furnished the city with fifty
seven lights for which they paid moth
ing, with the understanding that he
was thereby insured against cuts on his
regular bills. The committee finally
concluded that the Brush company was
in the right.
Rufus Roberts, who occupied one Of
the places where the Republican caucus
slate cracked, and failed to get an cleo
ton to the position of sealer of weights
and measures, has been provided for at
last. At it's meeting yesterday the
committee on public grounds and build
ings voted to recommend him for weigh
master. They also named w. NJ. Col
Inns for engineer of the city hall build
ing.
The old conduit controversy was res
directed in the meeting of the council
committee on ordinances yesterday
afternoon. Representatives OF the Edi-
son and Thompson-Houston Electric
Light and Power companies were pres
ent to urge the granting of charters to
their companies, and this brought up
the matter of cOnduitS and the COM
mittee adjourned until Thursday, when
it will meet with the committee on con-
duits aud decide what is the proper
course to pursue.
The committee on fire department
passed bills and voted to recommend
the adoption of certain suggestions re-
garding the purchase and sale of horses
made by Chief StetsOn at the last meet
ing of the council and referred to the
fire committee for investigation.
The council committee on ways and
means was in executive session for some
time yesterday afternoon. and when it
adjourned the members refused to give
any information with regard to its pro-
ceedings, but it is understood that the
matter of municipal finances and the
sale of city bonds was under discussion.

MINNEAPOLIS,
Additional city News on the Fifth Page
SPARE THE TREE.

Considerable opposition is developing
to the plan formulated by the park COM
mission for the location of a park on
either side of the river at the mouth of
Minnehaha creek to connect with the
grounds of the soldiers home, so as to
form one grand park joining the boule-
ward systems of Minneapolis and st.
Paul. The argument is used that it
would be a serious financial loss
to Minneapolis, especially as valu-
able water power will thus be wasted
which might be utilized for manufacture
ing purposes. The people of Minneapo-
lis will soon have their love for the
beautiful put to the test. and it remains
to be seen whether one of the most
charming bits of scenery to be found in
Minnesota is to be sacrificed for the
sake of few manufacturing industries
that could be as well located somewhere
else

A GAME WARDEN.
Need of a Radical Effort to Enforce
the Game Laws.


A. B. Chamberlain, whom every man
in the Northwest who has ever handled
gun knows as thorough sportsman and
a whole-souled gentleman. is candi-
date for the position of state game
warden. Over 1900 residents of Min
neapolis. 900 st. Paul, 800 Winona and
about LOCO others from different places
along the Hastings and Dakota line
have signed his petition. The office is
not now salaried one, but may posi-
bly, be made so. Mr.. Chamberlain has
every qualification necessary for the
position, and his friends will endeavOr
to put him into the place. The need of
a game warden who will discharge the
duties of his Office faithfully, is becom-
ing more apparent eacn year, as the
state is being thickly populated and the
eservation of game is a matter in
which every sportsman is interested.
The game laws, which are lax enough,
should be enforced. and warden APP
pointed who will give active attention
to them. He should not be obliged to
do it, either, simply as matter of love,
bat should be sufficiently we'll paid to
warrant him in giving his services to
the work.

"Nellie Turcotte, stand up," COM
manded Clerk Daily, in the municipal
court yesterday morning, and in answer
young girl, remarkably well formed,
with jet black hair and very pretty
face, arose and looked around in def
ant sort of way. She was handsomely
dressed, and but for that peculiar some
thing, no one can tell what, in her face
it would never have been thought that.
up to a short time ago, she was one OF
the most dashing and reckless inmates
of house of ill fame on First street.

rooms for immoral purposes. what

Before the girl could reply her mother,
a little woman whose face showed signs
of care and Worry. stepped up to tile
Judge and asked him to send the girl to
the Home of the Good Shepherd. j.
"Nellie is bad girl, your honor"
she began, land l can do nothing with
her. Her only ambition seems to be an
inmate of a bad house. It's breaking
my heart, she is, and [ would rather see
her laid out in her coffin than know that
she has gone to the bad. She went
away from home to go into house on
First street, and | can do nothing with
her."
That's not So" was the somewhat
spirited response, 'for | never was in
such place in my life. | have been
working ont for long time past, and
was simply getting my supper when the
officer arrested me. l am perfectly will
ing to go home with my mother and re-
main there"
Judge Mahoney thought over the case
for few moments and then told Nellie
that she could go home. -,
But remember" he continued, IF
you are brought up here again you Will
not get a chance to go home for few
months, at least"
The girl and her mother turned and
left the room, and as Nellie went out OF
the door she turned and Winked at a
tlashily-dressed young man standing
near. He responded with grin.

REV. DIR. CHASE HAS GONE.
He Left for Boston Last Evening
With His Family.

Rev. W. t. Chase, late pastor of the
First Baptist church, left for his new
home in Boston. Mass, last evening,
accompanied by his wife and family.
A party of some seventy-fve or
eighty of his pensioners accompanied
him to the depot to bid him good
bye, and that there were, as conse-
quence, several affecting scenes. A
short time ago, when the Tribune stated
that DR.. Chase's resignation was caused
by his pensioners opposition to the
stand he had taken in regard to Sunday
papers and the like, the members of the
church drew up resolutions denouncing
the story as false, but this the paper re-
fused to publish.

Interesting Matters Discussed by
the Presbyterians and Metho-
distS.
At the meeting of the Presbyterian
ministers yesterday morning the Pres
byterian alliance and the Society of
Christian EndeavOr were discussed at
some length. Revs. Burrell, Patterson
and Donaldson were appointed COM
mittee to see what could be done to
helping along the work.
The Methodist ministers were adj
dressed by Rev. W K. Marshall on THE
Evangelization of Cities" He wanted
to see more work done, he said, and
thought the house-to-house canvass
plan good one: A delegation from the
newly organized City Missionary society
called to see how the clergy felt toward
the society. The delegation was assured
of the entire good will of the association.

QUITE CONSISTENT.

An effort will be made through the
legislature to have the tax on Labor
temple RENTED, Oh the ground that it
is public library and conferS benefit
for the people from which no personal
profit is derived. AS the Exposition
building is free from taxation upon the
score that it is public institution, it
would seem consistent enough that the
Labor temple, which is designed to
serve the working classes as an educa-
tional factor, should be also exempt.

BY keeping the women quiet, and let
