The Inquiry Into the Alleged Du
Iuth Wheat Steal.

The Inquiry Into the Alleged Du-
Iuth Wheat Steal.
The SO-called Duluth-wheat-steal in
vestigating committee will meet at the
capitol this asternoon at O'clock. The
attorney general has issued sixteen
subpenas requiring the attendance of
witnesses. These witnesses appeared
be fore the original house committee.
They are recalled for the purpose of
giving the Duluth elevator people an
opportunity to cross examine them,an
if possible, throw different light upon
their testimony. 1t is definitely under
stood that Attorney w. w. Erwin will
represent the farmers before the COM
mittee, or rather the Grain Growers as
sociation, recently organized by the
farmers for the purpose of protecting
the interests of wheat producers.
This association has also appointed
committee of five to make private in
vestigation into the alleged wheat COM
bine, the object being to devise means
to overthrow the combination which has
run the market so long.
Eric Olson is member of the Grain
Growers association, and is just now in
Duluth privately smelling around for
whatever information he can get. He
told Zenith City reporter that it was
the object of the Farmers Alliance to
make Duluth the great wheat-shipplng
point of the United States, and, striking
a dramatic attitude, he added:
''If could come back here in a hundred
years would see q hundred ships in the Du-
luth harbor waiting for grain, but there are
some men in Duluth stealing our grain and
we are trying to find out about it. They say
we are trying TO ruin their business, but we
want to build up Duluth as a great grain
shipping point,
Are not St. Paul and Minneapolis behind
the Alliance, bowling at you, Sic him. Tiger,
and encouraging you to ruin the Duluth
grain market!' asked the reporter.
NO Duluth is only a shipping point. and
gets the surplus wheat after Minneapolis gets
the wheat she needs. You only get the leav-
ings of the Minneapolis trade. Duluth is the
shipping point"
The alleged wheat steal investigation
opens in earnest this afternoon. 1t is
anticipated that six weeks or two
months will be consumed by the in
quiry.

TWO OF "A KIND.
Railroad Companies Defendants
to Damage Suits.


Annie Purcell has sued the st. Paul
City Railway company for $4,000 dam
ages. She was Oh Jackson street car
which crossed the cable line on Seventh
street without first stopping, in front of
a cable car which was SO near the cross
ing that collision seemed imminent
The people on the car became fright
ened and tried to leave the car. Mrs.
Purcell, who was enclente at the time,
was SO frightened that a miscarriage
resulted, AID she was Ill for three
months, owing. as is alleged, to careless
ness in operating the car on which she
was riding. George Abresch asks S10,-
600 from the North st. Paul Railroad
company. He was riding in his car
riage near Hazel park. last October, on
Seventh street. A motor struck his
carriage at the rear end, when crossing
the track, overturning the carriage,
bruising him and causing palpltation of
the heart. 1t is claimed that no notice
was given of the approach of the motor
by ringing the bell or otherwise. Alb
rescn brings suit for the amount
named.

A MIDNIGHT PANIC
Caused by a Fire in the Kitchen
Of the Clifton Hotel.

About ! o'clock this morning fire was
discovered in the basement of the rear
of the Clifton hotel in the kitchen quar-
tiers. For some unaccountable reason
either the alarm failed to work OF
the department failed to respond,
and the blaze had made threatening
headway. What little fire had got un-
der way made dense smoke, which
filled every nook and Granny of the
hotel. The guests were promptly
aroused, and, though the precautions
taken were admirable ami the disciplin-
ing perfect, it was impossible to prevent
a great zeal of eXcitment. The
guests thronged out in all styles
of undresS, and the scenes about
the corridors and lobbies were
exceedingly lively for a time. Mr..
Hopes soon succeeded in convincing
the people there was absolutely no
danger and when the hotel had been
cleared of smoke. confidence was at
once restored. Half-robed people re-
sumed their garments or their beds; as
the case might be, and the affair was
over. Once the department tackled
the fire it was quickly subdued.
