The Sawyer House Receivership
General Prison City Notes.


Although, up 10 the time Of the clos
ing of the GLOBE report yesterday,
Judge McCluer's decision in the Sawyer
house receivershIp application had not
been filed, yet the statement in regard
to the outcome, as published in the
GLOBE yesterday. is confirmed in other
quarters. The bond of Mr.. Lowell, as
receiver, is fixed in the sum of $4,000;
and. in addition to James S. O'Brien,
John q. Nelson has qualified as his sec
0nd surety on the bond. The details of
the decision are not known, but it is
said that the manner in which the re-
eeiver shall make his accountihgs tu the
court. and the disposition Of the profits
from the business with reference to the
defendants, A. E. Doe and Mary +. Doe,
are matters to be considered and pre-
scribed subsequently. Mr.. Lowell said
yesterday that after receiving from the
court the authority Of receiver. three or
four days would be required in which to
fully arrange for the opening of the
hotel. The defendants will doubtless
take an appeal from the decision of
Judge McCluer, but L0well's attorneys
state that no action taken by the other
side can prevent the receiver from
taking possession, or can GUST him from
such possession at least until decision
is had from the higher court.
The order appointing a receiver was
signed by the judge before his departure
for Rcd Wing. 1t provides that the de-
PENDANT shall give possession within ten
days, and the receiver must have the
hotel in operation within twenty days.
He receives no compensation unless the
business produces a profit; then the
compensation Is TO be fixed by the court.

required to give bond of $1,000 to i'll
demnify the defendant against possible
damage.
An evidence of the advance of the
grip in the pineries appeared yesterday
in the fact that Musser, Sauntry IL Co.
ordered from local drug house $500
tw0-grain Quinine pills, to be distrib-
uted among their fifteen or twenty
camps on the east side OF the st. CroiX.
The complaint came to the firm that
many men were down with the cpl
demic disease, and that the trouble
threatened to seriously cripple their
forces.
Arrangements are in progress for a
grand and select masquerade ball to be
given at the Grand opera house on the
evening of Monday, Immediately pre-
ceding Ash Wednesday,. A false floor
will transform both stage and parQuette
into great dancing space, while the
dress circle and balcony will afford ac-
commodations for spectators. The
opera hall in the third story will be
used as a refreshment room. Manager
Durant's personal interest in the enter
prise strengthens the guarantee that
the ball will be brilliant and ire
proachable affair.
Arguments on the motion for new
trial in the case of The State against
John Russell were heard in the district
court yesterday, but the matter was
left undetermined until Judge McCluer
shall return from Red Wing next Thurs
day.
Word came yesterday to the office of
R. j. Wheeler u Co. that eleven inches
of additional SNOW had just fallen in
the Eau Claire lakes logging region.
Judge McCluer went TO Red Wing
last evening to preside at the Goodhue
county court and relieve Judge Crosby,
who is attacked by the influenza.
The Odd Fellows in stallation last
evening and the social feature follow
ing combined to make an unusually
profitable and pleasant affair.
Mrs. E. W. Durant was in an i'm
proved condition yesterday, after suffer
ing from very severe attack of inhu-
enZa.
