Yesterday was field day for politi-
clans, and few eX-members Of the
legislature and a quota of others inter-
ested in the grind of the political mill
were in the city from all parts of the
state. c. y. Morev and w. III. Laurel,
of Winona, were at the Ryan. while at
the Merchants George S. Campbell, Of
Brainerd; p. II. Rahilly and c. H..
Conkin, ex-members of the house:
Judge II. r. Wells and r, f. Thomp-
son, of Preston; and Dakota
contingent, consisting of f. T..
Fulton. Grand Forks attorney; John
2. Bray and L. G: johnson,
son, inhaled the political atmosphere
with evident relish. After supper ex-
Representatives Smith, Fiddler and
Schell drew their chairs together. and

F. K. Sweet. of Cora. Mont, was also
at the Ryan yesterday. Mr.. Sweet is

correspondents. The trouble originated
in an ordinary brawl, and the country
is quiet, and no alarm is felt by the resi-

ian, who is making business tour of
the Northwest, laid down his knife and
