Gently asserted the fact with a good deal
of emphasis. This province is credited
with but 100000 OF SO population. but in
area it is magnificent, being about nine
times as large as Ohio. Its mineral
wealth is immense, comprising gold,
anthracite and bituminous coal. The
gold mined the past ten years exceeds
S22,00o,000. 1t has a good climate and
vast agricultural possibilities. Then it
lies between the United States and
Alaska OH the Pacific coast. Unre
stricted commercial relations would be
advantageous to the United States as

British Columbia to attain these is man

not read their own paper. In yester-

for publishing what it calls "a sensa-

the Dakota wheat crop. By simply
turning to their files the Tribune ed

CAUGHT AND JUDGED.
The Principal of the Real Estate
SWindlerS in Durance Vile.


At last the twelfth and principal men,
Der Of the gang of alleged real estate
and mortgage swindlers is in the hands
of the sheriff of Hennepin county. E.
A. Carlson, as he Is known, was arrest
ed last night on the streets of Mime
apolis by a policeman who recognized
the notorious fellow. The arrest was not
made upon the warrant which was is
sued against Carlson from tine court Of
this county, but on that sworn out by
W. T. Palmer, a resident of Minneapo-
lis. Who claims to be a victim of Carl
sons fraudulent prOclivities to the ex-
tent of several thousand dollars.
CarlSon's apprehension is mainly
due to the efforts of Ramsey
county sheriffs to find him, and
their unearthing of the frauds in which
he was implicated. Some two weeks
ago Ramsey county deputy sheriff left
st. Paul, ostensibly for Duluth. He
found his way some where else, how
ever. and there secured the possession
of documentary evidence against Carl
son upon which the authorities here
could easily have convicted him of
forgery. Carlson was then being hunted
high and low, from Iowa to Canada.
All trace OF him was lost and the gen.
eral opinion of the officers was that the
fugitive had gone to Canada. Carlson
heard that the county attorney of RAM
sey county had secured the tell-tale
paper referred to. and knowing but too
well their criminal weight against him,
he thought to intercept action upon
them and retraced his steps
to Minneapolis, where he had
mQnu friQnHc ond xUhnrn ha hnnad
to adjust matters between himself and
and Palmer. 1t seems the papers which
the sheriff of this county found in
neighboring county were evidence of
an illicit commercial relation between
Carlson and Palmer. Carlson, getting
wind of the fact that the papers had
been found, endeavored to square him
self with Palmer; but it seems he
failed. Palmer would not settle mat
tiers upon Carlson's terms. and before
the latter could again get out of the
reach of the law, Palmer had him ar
rested.
The prisoner was taken to the CEN
trail police station at Minneapolis. from
where he sent out for some of his
friends. He did his best to get bail last
night, but word coming from Minneap-
oils to Judge Egan, he dispatched
deputy Snerln TO the scene, armed with
letter directed to the police depart
ment, in which the judge stated
that Ramsey county had a great
many charges against Clarkson, and to
defer granting him bail under any cir
cumstances until the county attorney
could reach Minneapolis this morning.
At II o'clock last night the deputy
sheriff left st. Paul to watch the pris-
Oner, for which Ramsey county has been
looking for three weeks.
Palmer's charge against Clarkson. it
is surmised, is much lighter than those
embodied in the warrant from the au-
thorities here. If Carlson is released in
Hennepin he will be arrested on
charge of forgery, and brought to st.
Paul. With this arrest the band of real
estate sharks is about rounded up, and
poor, confiding and ignorant property
owners and mortgages can breathe
easier

HERE'S THE LAW.
When Expert Testimony Is or Is
Not Admissible.

In the United States court the de-
fendant's motion for new trial in the
case of John G. SeeSe against the
Northern Pacific Railroad company has
been denied by Judge Nelson. Seese
secured judgment against the rail-
road company for personal injuries
sustained while in the act of coupling
cars in the yards at Minneapolis. When
the case was tried, the defense proposed
to show. by an expert witness that
Seese attempted to make the coupling
improperly, and that if he had exercised
sufficient care in the act, he would not
have been injured. Upon the objection
of the plaintiffs attorney, this expert
testimony was ruled out. The defend
ants counsel moved for new trial on
the ground that this testimony should
have been admitted. In his decision,
denying the motion, Judge Nelson
holds that expert testimony as not adj
missible in a case of this kind.

NOR, and some of them go so far as to
say that they know Mr.. Mayo is the in
coming appraiser. MI. Mayo has lived
in st. Paul many years, and until re-

as man of strict integrity and sound
ability. That he will make an efficient
appraiser is foregone conclusion.

coal beavers strike was inaugurated

with six vessels at the dock, the Lehigh
coal beavers quietly walked out and re-
fused to handle coal at less than 50 cents
an hour. This is sequel to the great
lockout this spring, which lasted six
weeks, and in which the beavers stood
out for so and were offered 40 cents per
hour, and which was lost by the strikers.
They have watched their opportunity.
They saw that all the surplus labor was
employed, and, with fleet of coal yes
sells at the dock, victory seemed sure.
From the Lehigh the strikers passed to
the Northwestern dock, the st. Paul

doubt, be the most serious ever inaugur-
ated at the head of the lake. Both sides
seem determined to hold out.
