Bell Johnson got into another fight
last night. This time sho tackled a
wild cat. Mary Wyatt, tho Railroad
avenue terror, did her up in just two
minutes. Both were arrested by Officer
RigneY and Eanes. The former took
charge of Mary, but she fought so per-
sistently that he had to call on Officers
Flick for assistance. Tho nippcrs were
placed on her wrists. Then her conduct
became disgraceful. She fought the
officers all the way to the station house.
Mary was so disorderly that she had to
lie handcuifed through the bars to pre-
vent her from fighting Bell, who was
placed in the Same cell. Bell was
finally bailed and the handouts removed
from Mary's wrists. Then she reared

PATTERsoN,s HEARING.
The Mayor Reserves His Decision Till
To-day.

tf,'gt.I...f 1O-Qays
The case Of johnson Patterson,
charged with shooting Peter Scott, was
heard by Mayor Exams yesterday morn
ing. It will be remembered that Patter-
son went into William Davis restaurant
Saturday night, the 21st. While play
< ing with revolver it was discharged
and the ball struck Scott in the neck,
causing a dangerous wound, from which
he has not yet recovered.
A great many have alleged that the
shooting was done purposely, while
many others were positive that it was
purely accidental.
The prisoner was represented by
Messrs. Randolph and Dupuy. Several
witnesses were examined and their evil
dence Is as follows:
Ellen Davis said Patterson came in
her snack house late and commenced
talking to her as usual Not a word
was passed between him and Peter.
Directly she turned her head and pis-
toi went of. Every light in the room
went out.
G. r. Rayford said he was sitting in
the room at tho time of the shooting.
No words passed between the men. Pat
terson was playing with Ellen Davis.
Petar was sitting on a box, resting his
head on his hand. He heard the pistol
go off. The lights all went out. Pat
terson said; 10 Lord, didn't go to do
it," and went out.
George Hurt, colored boy who works
at the market, said he was sitting in tho
room at that time. lilo heard the pistol
go off, and saw Scott fall to the floor.
PATTERSON went out at tho back door.
When Scott fell he said: 20, am shot"
Pittman Halls testimony corroborated
Hurt He heard Patterson say as he
went out he didn't intend to shoot Scott,
and wouldn't have done it for anything.
Another witness, with whom Patter
son boarded, said when the prisoner came
in after the shooting he gave directions
that should policeman como after him
he was to be admitted.
Ed. Holland said he was present when
the shooting occurred. AS soon as Ellen
Davis turned away he took pistol from
his overcoat pocket, and was playing
with it. 1t went off and Scott fell to
the floor. Patterson walked out and
said Lord, shot that man. / wouldn't
have done it for anything" Ho had
known che men for some time and they
were always good friends.
This closed tho evidence and the
counsel for the accused asked that the
prisoner be discharged on the grounds
that it had been proven beyond rea-
.sonable doubt that tho shooting was
accidental.
The mayor reserved his decision until
this morning, and the prisoner was re-
manded to jail

another reason that shows how de-
cided the contrast is. There no remun-
Grafton is given to the jury unless the
court orders it, which is done only in
rare cases. Here every juror is entitled
to great, big silver dollar for every
day he spends on case during its trial.
Yet even the 81 a day does not cause the
hustling citizens of the SANITY city TO
relinQuish their chase after bigger
money in business districts all over
town.
1t is scarcely to be expected that J.J.
Hill or A. H.Lindeke would grieve much
over the loss of an opportunity to earn
81 as jurOr-in fact, neither might
mourn if the amount was doubled, but
it is observed that such men rarely ap-
pear on the panel except when special
grand jury business is to be trans
acted at higher prices. So, among the
many who beg off, these distinguished
citizens do not appear. The clerk of
the courts is greatly bothered with the
dodgers, though he repeatedly assures
them he has nothing to do with it.
You must go into court and ask the
Judge"
"Oh. well, you can fix it if you want
to-" is the inYarablc reply.
The judges refuse 95 per cent of the
dodgers, but they listen to some singular
excuses. One man begged OFF, on the
plea that he was trying to work I'D a
little flesh, and he believed confinement
in a close court room would prevent
the transforming process. Another
man said he had to make a bal
loon ascension, and was working
off flesh for the purpose. There
were hundreds of men who had sick
wives at home and were afraid to leave
their bedsides. but who. when asked to
swear to that statement, generally ad-

remembered that only a few weeks
ago, one of the Judges of the
Ramsey court read a severe lecture to a
took in the receSseS of the Minnesota
club to instruct friend how to escape
jury service. The case of Jimmie
Black, the manager of the Associated
Press, was a unique one, but in that
case the joke was all upon the directory
man. But the average man will avoid
jury service on any and every occasion.
No matter how much time he has on
his hands, he will adopt every known
means within his power to dodge this
duty of the really good citizen. And ii
is astonishing to think how far he will
go in his efforts to escape being poked
up in a dingy court room, TO sit on trial
on some fellow being who may have
been the victim of misfortune in bust
ness or have run into a collision with
the criminal law.
Across the water, in the old country.
the idea of serving on jury is one that
fills the mind of every man qualified to
serve with sense of importance and
pleasure that is eXcelIed only if he
should be created a K. c. B. or other
high-sOunding knight of some noble Or
der. They-that is. the would-De jur-
Ors-try every plan to have themselves
drawn for service, and they are much
disappointed if they do not find them
selves seated in the jury box, together
with the other good men and true.
That is the peculiar difference that
exists there; but there is in addition

ate who were there before the flood

suffrage bill came in one of the senile
bourbons said: when the law of nature
shall so change the female organization
as to make it possible for them to sing
bass, shall then be quite willing for
such bill to become a law" That may
sound smart, but it would puzzle that
Kansas lawmaker to explain what sing
ing bass has to do with voting. 1t is
not even the noisy men who accomplish
the most, and woman who could sing
bass would be freak only fit for mu-

wEYERHAUsER SYNDICATE.

The removal OF FREDERICK VIEWER
HACSER from Eau Claire to st. Paul.
and the establishment of milling indus
tries belonging to himself and his aSSO-
ciates on the upper Mississippi are i'm
pOrtant movements in the industrial
history of this city and state A syndl-
cate including Mr.. WEYERHAUSER the
members of the Musser Lumber COM
pany. Mr.. LAIRD and Mr.. NORrON, of
Win0na, and several others, have pur-
chased all the timber on lands tributary
to the Mississippi which belonged to
the Northern Pacific Railroad company.
This is estimated to amount to about
300,000,000 feet. They propose at once
TO establish mill of an annual capacity
of 40,000,00O feet at Little Falls. in this
state, and, under their contract with
the railroad company, are required to
build another i'll the immediate future,
of at least half that size, at
Brainerd. The energy and capital
of these men have given them
the control of the lumber interests of
Wisconsin tor a good many years. and
their entrance into our state, it is gen
orally admitted, will be followed by a
concentration into their hands of the
milling business of the upper Missis-
sippi. They have great capacity for ac-
quiring property, and will reach out un-
til the vast tracts of forest to the north
are all i'll their possession. This means
tremendous increase i'll these indus
tries and the growth of towns of consid-
cradle size in the northern counties.
and especially along the rivers. The
mills at the various points which have
been shut down will gradually reopen,
and the monopoly which Minneapolis
has enjoyed in this field will at least be
disputed. All this will probably be
accompanied by some railroad building
70 connect the new milling towns directly
with the prairie country 20 the south
west. The pine Of Minnesota will COM
pete with the products of the Southern
forests in Kansas and Nebraska, and
the plants and lab0rers from the de
pleted Wisconsin streams will transfer
themselves to our borders. 1t is rather
difficult to predict with accuracy the
complete effect of all these things: but
they mean more capital in Minnesota.
and greater business activity. Both of
these will be good for the state, aud a
great jobbing center like st. Paul can
not fail to profit by fhem. In any event.
the addition of Mr.. NEYERHATSEE him
self to the number OF our citizens is a
great gain, because il means one more
very able and pubIic-spirited man
