SATURDAY AT DULUTH.
a Good Deal Of Kicking Over Star
Route.
THE SPALDING is READY.
a Case of Deed Forging Similar to
Those Given in One or Two Other
Minnesota Towns Recently.

DULUTH. June S.-Gardner coles. OF
Algona. To-. who has the contract for
carrying the mails between Two Har-
bors and Grand Portage, is receiving a
vigorous poking up by residents of the
North Shore, who have grown tired OF
receiving their mails at intervals of one
to three weeks during the season of
navigation. when steamboats, make the
trip almost daily. The attention OF
Washington officials has been called to
the matter with such Statutory effect
that Mr. Coles was induced to make
personal trip over the route during the
week, and. though no change for the
better was brought about as the result
of his visit, still it is something to know
that he is at least alive to the necessity
of improving his service. Grand Marais
is the county seat of Cook county, and.
though not very large, is yet place of
considerable Importance. and rapidly
increasing in its demands for more fire.
quent and regular communication with
the outside world. Mr.. Coles has the
contract for carrying the mails
until June, 1889. and while pos
sibly carrying out the stlpulations
of his contract, the influences being
brought to bear upon him are so strong
that it is not unlikely he will yield to
the demand and sublet his contract to
some steamboat line and do away with
his canoe and half-breed service. A
letter from Acting Assistant Pollock at
Washington to Postmaster Flynn, of
this city, states that the department is
powerlesS to do anything in the matter
at present, but refers aggrieved parties
to Mr.. Coles in q way that that gentle
man must understand to mean some
thing. The lnman line of steamers is
prepared to carry the mails regularly at
any time a fair compensation can be
secured.
THE SPALDING.
Everything Is in readiness and the
SpalGing house will throw open its
doors to the public on Monday evening
next. when a reception will be given,
which will, beyond question. eclipse
hotel manager Mr. Emerson is known
from one end of the country to the
other, and as hotel structure the Spald-
ing takes rank with the finest in every
appointment. The two combined can
only add luster to the fame of Duluth
and bring thousands to her directory.
FORGING DEEDS.
An interesting case was brought to
an abrupt termination before Judge
Stearns yesterday. Annis A. J. King
land, of Minneapolis. brought suit
against Joseph E. Knowlton, of this
city. to quiet title upon certain pieces
of valuable lands adjacent to DULUTH.
and appeared by his attorney, II. S.
Lord. claiming title by warranty given
by John Diamond, the original owner.
Mr.. Knowlton had a tax title dating
back to 1881. and the supposed warranty
of MI. Diamond was something in
the nature of a surprise to him.
However. as soon as he was
served with notice of the suit he set
about to find Diamond. whom he knew
personally, and succeeded in tracing
him to Deadwood, S. D. A journey out
there and an interview with that gentle
man soon developed the fact that Kings
land nor any of his attorneys were
known to the man who was supposed
to have given them title to several now
very valuable tracts of lands. In short,
the warranty deeds were clear
forgeries, and Attorney Lord i'm
mediately assured the court that had
he known or even suspicioned that the
deeds were not perfectly straight, he
would not have gone into the case at all.
Mr.. Knowlton says he will not rest IN
til he has found the author of the for
geries and sent him over the road, and
broken up the mill at Minneapolis
which is supposed to grind out war
ranty deeds to any gang of sharpers
having the money to pay for the
trouble.
IN REALTY CIRCLES.
The week has been one of unusual ac-
tivity in certain classes of realty, the
firm tone being maintained and prices
held steady. Outside inquiry has been
large for investment, East end property
being especially asked for. M. B. Har-
riSOn reports number of deals on the
tapis in the West end, and has also
few in the East worth looking into.
