contract for the improvements was let

MAC MIGHTY MAD.
He Shook Court Room Dust From
His Feet-The Army Up Again.

The routine of the municipal court
was relieved again yesterday morning
by one of the peculiar little scenes for
which it is becoming quite noted. 1t
was J. J. McCafferty this time. John
d. Rankin, the young man arrested in
Duluth accused of forging the firm
name of George Benz IL Sons to draft,
was being examined, Judge McCatferty
defending him. County Attorney Mum
objected to several questions asked a
witness by McCafferty, and was sus-
tanned by the court. whereupon McCaf-
ferty got hot in the collar, withdrew
from the case and left the court room
in a huff. After recovering from his
surprise, Judge Burr announced that he
would continue the case until this
morning, that Rankin might have an
opportunity to procure less tickle cOun-
sci.
Eight members Of the Salvation
Army, headed by Capt. Smith, were ar
raigned again for ignoring Mayor
Smiths order and parading on Payne
avenue, where they were arrested by
officers of the Margaret street police
station. Their names are ID. E. Smith,
May Wheeler, Mary Nelson, Lillian
Brackley, Huber Wareck, Nels August
Anderson. Charles Anderson and &. B.
Burns. Attorney Richardson, who de-
Tended them, demanded jury trial.
The court set the case for Tuesday aft
ernoon. releasing the prisoners under
5000 bail for their appearance.
A. II. Eppstein, white, and Henry
Hopewell, colored, the men who in
dulged in fight in an alley back of the
fremont Exchange. were fined $40 each.
Edward G. Wilson, the young man az
rested for embezzllng $500 from the firm
of Creelman, Avery Il Co., was held for
trial Monday in default of $1,000. John
Noonan, vagrant, got thirty days,
while John Shay, under similar charge,
paid $40. Of the five DRINKS arraigned
one was wise and four were foolish.
The four foolish ones were James kearn,
Albert Sloch, Thomas Tierney and
William Jones, whose lights went out at
the S10-mark. James Franklin was dis
charged.

Heavy Damages CHARACTERISTICS
Court Cases.

Edward Taylor has brought suit in
the United States circuit court against
James M. Paine for $40, 900 damages. In
September, 1887, Taylor was employed
as log cutter by the defendant. He
was working in the woods about four
miles from Northern Pacific junction,
and was carried to and from his work
daily on train operated by the defend
ant. On Sept. 6 the train collided with
switch engine, and Taylor was thrown
to the ground, sustaining severe cuts
and bruises about the head and Shout

asserts that the switch engine was in
charge of an incompetent and un-
licensed engineer.

Police Court Scenes That
Could Give a Circus Cards
and Spades.

The wage-earnerS met again last
evening at Labor hall. Each individual
member came to the meeting with
blood in his eye and prepared to fight
for whatever colony location he advo-
Gated. The new secretary, Maj.
Hooper, was at the desk, but had no
books OF anything else, as the deposed
secretary, c. Ii. Stevens, refused
to give them up. Before the
business of the meeting COM
menced President Hall announced
that it would be necessary for every
member to march around and give his
name to the new secretary, as, owing to
the fact that Mr.. Stevens refused to
give up the list, the association was
practically without any record of who
was or who was not member. A great
many demurred against this, but it made
no difference, as Mr.. Stevens sat in his
chair, with placid smile on his face,
refusing to help them out of their di-
lemna. Mr.. Stevens was awaiting
tim he hey got t''" it. - He declared oai
that it was not his intention to abide by
the decision of the board of directors
which deposed him from office, but ap-
pealed to the association as body for
decision. There was some red-hot
work done about this time. Mr.. Stew
ems in short speech, insinuated that
President II. P. Hall had received
money from Stone q Morton to boom
North st. Paul for the location of the
co'oly, and Mr.. Hall in return in
simulated that Stevens was prevarica-
tor. Then Jim Burns got up and made
some alluSiOn to certain connection
between Stevens aud the st. Paul Park
people. For short time the discussion
was very warm and very interesting.
Finally the question of whether the
action Of the directors In depOSing MIR.
put to vote. 1t ended very badly for
Mr.. Stevens. as the result showed an
almost unanimous approval of the di-
rectorS' proceedings.
Next the different locations for the
proposed colony were discussed. The
three different. locations were st. Paul
Park, North st. Paul and Owa5So lake.
The friends of North st. Paul were
numerous, and before the matter was
put to a vote it looked as though that
place would be selected. After the
vote, however, and when the ballots
were counted, it showed that OWaSSO
lake had received AZ, North st. Paul SO
and st. Paul Park 0. Owasso lake was
afterwards declared as the unanimous
choice OF the association. y
Owasso, the selected location, is direct
ly out Rice street, and is reached by the
$500" line. 1t is more difficult of &C
cess than either of the others, but lies
much better and is prettier piece of
country. 1t is expected that ultimately
one of the new electric lines will be eX-
tended in that direction. The piece of
land selected fronts On Rice street and
runs west along the north shore of the
lake, having altogether about three
quarters of mile lake frontage.

Second Day of Preliminary Shoot
ing at Fort Smelling

Second Day of Preliminary Shoot
ing at Fort Smelling.
Excellent weather attended the pre-
liminary rife shoot at Fort Smelling
yesterday, and some wonderful shoot
ing was done at the various ranges.
There are now at the fort about $50 COM
petit0rs for places in the team to repre-
sent the department at Camp Douglas.
The best work done so far is that OF
Private P. Boyle, of Company l,
Twentieth infantry, whose scores were
43 at 200 yards. a at 800 yards, 40 at
500 yards and 43 at 600 yards, making
total of ITO out of 200. The preliminary
practice will be prolonged throughout
to-day, and Monday the competition for
places on the department team will
begin. The ten men selected for the
team will each receive medal, the
first prize being a gold badge. The
next three winners will each receive
silver badge, and the other six bronze
badges. Yesterdays shooting was at
the same ranges as on the previous day.
viz: 200, 800, 500 and 600 yards, and
the scores made were an improvement
on those of the day previous. The lead
was taken from Private Boyle, whose
total was ITO out of possible 300, by
First Sergeant Brill, of Company G.
Twelfth infantry, who scored 17S out of
possible 200. Sergeant Brill made 1872
on the previous day. which gives him
total for the two days of $40, point be-
hind Private Boyle, whose total for the
two days is 341. The actual competi
ton for places in the department team
begins Monday and continues four
days, Monday and Wednesday to
be devoted to distance shooting, and
Tuesday and Thurday to skirmish fir
ing, which latter leaves the marksman
to form his own estimation of the dis
lance from the object fired at. Itseems
to be pretty well established that the
contest for the highest scores lies be-
tween Sergeant Brill and Private Boyle,
both of whom are phenomenal marks
men and capable of even closer shooting
than they have yet done. The scores in
full to date are as follows:

Successful Bond Bidders.

At the adjourned meeting of Mayor
Smith, Comptroller Roche and the coun-
Gil committee on ways and means yes
terday afternoon, it was decided to
award the issue of the s334,00 of city
bonds to S. A. Kean & Co., of Chicago,
whose bid was s343, 200, or 2.557 per cent
premium. Farson, Leech & Co.. Chi
cago. were the highest bidders, but there
seems to have been an understanding
between the two firms that the highest
bidder should drop out if the other COM
pany could secure the bonds at lower
figure. Farson, Leech & Co. accordingly
made the terms of delivery SO onerous
that the committee was forced to ignore
their bid. The whole amount was paid
over by Kean & Co., and the bonds were
delivered

accused of completely in several doubt
full transactions by which verdant
owners OF good horse flesh acquired rich
experience in return for their property,
was arrested yesterday for horse steal

of horses. His wife had preceded him
and awaited him at Minneapolis. He
arrived at South st. Paul in due season,
and without notifying his wife of his
arrival took the horses out last Sunday,
saying he was going to Pennington.
Mrs. Petler felt relieved when she
learned that he had been here. and ex-
pressed the idea that perhaps the horses
had given him so much trouble on the
road that he could not take time to
write. He had better send her mess
age or be heard from in some way soon,
otherwise she will be camping on his
trail.
