PETERsON's BoNDsMEN.
One of Them Wants to Withdraw
His Alleged Reasons.

County Treasurer Peterson and his
bondsman. Jonas F. Brown, are at outs.
This fact was developed at the meeting
of the county commissioners yesterday
through the latter's application to be
removed from all farther liability as
Peterson's bondsman. The amount of
the bond is $4,000. The matter was
referred to the county attorney.
Browngave no reason for his deter
mination to withdraw. A friend of
both Peterson and Brown, however, told
a GLOBE man that Brown wants to with
draw because he thinks Peterson does
not deposit an acceptable amount of
county funds with the City bank.
Brown is director of this bank. The
GLOBES informant claimed that Brown
made a statement to the above effect in
the presence of two other Well-knoWn
bankers. When asked yesterday if he
anticipated trouble in getting another
bon3sman, in the event of Brown be-
ing allowed ito Withdraw, Peterson re-
piled i'll the negative.
The matter of the alleged improper
assessment of the property of the Min
nesota Loan and Trust company claimed
the commissioners attention during a
greater part of the morning session.
The matter was introduced several
weeks ago through a letter written by
E. J. Phelps protesting against the
assessment. He contended. that the
company comes unoer the class of trust
companies designated as banks. If this
classification is established the assess
ment would be 70 per cent of the valua-
ton. Instead of assessing the Mime
sofa Loan and Trust company's prop
erty at $3.50, 900, it would be assessed at
$4,000. Mr.. Phelps entered his pro-
test in person yesterday.
When the letter was received it was
referred to Assistant County Attorney
| Davenport. He reported to the board
Yesterday that Assessor Plummer could
| do nothing but assess the property al
its full value and that the assessment
was valid. Mr.. Phelps still protested
and the matter was finally referred t.
the tax committee. There were bu
| few matters to be considered aside from
the above matters. A communication
from the commissioners of Anok;
county. asking that the Anoka bridge
across the Mississippi be planked. wa
read and referred to the committee OF
roads and bridges. Lester b. Elwood
S. B. Lovejoy and Robert Jameson
who appraised the Minnetonka mil
1 dam property, were awarded $50 CON
| DenSatlOn each.

w. f. Henry on Trial.

The trial of William T. henry, for
merly assistant postmaster at Duluth,
for destroying certain postoffice records,
began before Judge Nelson in the
United States circuit court yesterday.
Originally Henry was indicted for the
embezzlement of S149, but this indict-
ment was finally set aside. This money
was received from box rentals. The
records which it is alleged were de-
stroyed were records of these rentals.
Postmaster j. 0. Howard was on the
stand yesterday. He seemed very anX-
ious to give as much damaging testi-
mony against Henry as possible, and on
two or three occasions had to be re-
minded by District Attorney Hay that
he was going too far. Henry will tes-
tify today. He will make a sweeping
denial and produce several witnesses to
prove that his character during his
six years. service in the postoffice was
unreproachable. He left the postoffice

board of public works.

LEWIS TENDER HEART.
1t Refuses to Allow Him to Prose
cute His AssaiIants.

1t Refuses to Allow Him to Prose-
cute His Assailants.
Mark Levy, the secondhand dealer,
who was attacked by two roughs iii his
place of business on Sunday morning,
has succeeded in getting himself very
much disliked by the police depart
ment. He refused to make complaint
against them at the last moment, and
as result both men escaped with fines
of $40 each. Levy called on the county
attorney to sign the papers yesterday
morning and was asked to return, as
they were not ready. He never came
back, nor did he appear against his as
Sailants in court. The officers claim
that Levy was bought off and it looks
very much that way, considering the
cause he had for appearing to prose-
cute the men. The officers say that it
establishes a bad precedent. to allow
men to attempt robbery, in broad day
light and then escape with small fines.
Hence their anger against Levy.
Levy saws that his tender heart went
back on him when it came to the point
of prosecuting, and he ''shooSt couldn't
do i'd" The man. who gave his name
as William Spalding, is the son of Cal
vim Kyle, the proprietor of the news
stand and check room in the union
depot. Clairnont, the other rough, is,
according to Lcvy'S own admission, an
old thief, and attempted to steal some
clothing from him last summer, yet his
tender heat would not allow him to
prosecute him for assault and attempted
robbery.

HIS OWN. LAWYER.
A Bloomington Farmer Who
Missed His Vocation.

N1lSScu n Is tOCdCtOH.
Jerett Van Ness. the Bloomington
farmer who was arrested some time
ago by Game Warden Stetson for fish
ing in the waters of Minnesota out
of season, had his second trial in the
municipal court yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Van Ness had no attorney. but
pleaded his own case. and with so much
vigor and originality, that Judge
Mahoney said he would probably have
succeeded in knocking out the game
and fish law had lie delivered the same
discourse before the legislature when
the law was being formulated. Mr..
Van Ness held that he was not violating
the law. inaSmuct as the fishing had
been done in stream on his farm,
which had 10 connection with the Min
nes0ta river. Years ago the stream
formed from an overflow of the river,
bnt now it was entirely independent.
AS it was on the land he leased he con-
sidered it the personal property of the
man who owned the farm. The fish
were propogated there and conse-
quently the state could have no juris-
diction over them.
Judge MahOney, however, decided
that the law had been violated and as
sessed MI. Van Ness $40 and costs.

WHITE AND WEBER.
They Will Meet at the Hennepin
Club Tomorrow Night.

The entertainment at the Hennepin
Athletic club. Minneapolis, tomorrow
night, is expected to be one of the best
yet given by the club. The contest of
the evening will be between Tommy
White. of Chicago, and Charley Web
Der. of st. Paul. 1t Will be for eight
rounds and should be a lively one.
White is one of the best featherweights
i'll the country. He has met some of
the top-n0tchers and has never been de-
feated. Webber's ability as boxer is
we'll known in the Twin Cities. He is
considerably heavier than White and a
clever boxer. The Chicago man, de-
spite the odds against him, is confident
of winning. White has boxed before
the HennepIn club. but he has not been
really tried up in this country. On that
account much interest is being taken in
the event. There will be several other
contests Of limited number of rounds.

QUEBEC ELECTIONS.
French Canadians FlOcking in
From New England,

MONTREAL, Que. March 7.-One of
the most exciting political campaigns
in the history of this province will come
to an end tomorrow. So many uncer-
tain elements have entered into the
campaign that it is almost impossible to
forecast the result. Both sides profess
to be confident of victory. This
morning fourteen carloads of French
Canadians arrived here from the New
England states to vote at the Mells cleo
tons. They have come in response to
a circular issued by the New England

The Minneapolis Press club election
yesterday 'paSsed off quietly" The
sun rose bright and clear, the weather
was of the best all day long, and all the
conditions were favorable to getting out
a large vote. The fact that every active
member of the club voted shows that
there was a healthy rivalry for the
offices, and that all Of the members take
an interest in the club. There was a
noticeable absence of rloting in the
vicinity of the polls. The only candi-
date who had no opposition was j..

candidate for treasurer. He received
the full vote of the club. j. Il. Mannlx

also noticeable that none of the states

tary.
1t seems that some time ago the board

Steele, to canvass for funds or to devise
some means TOR augmentlng the
finances of the board. The committee
found that there was a good deal of OPP
position to w. ID. Hall as secretary. The
committee also decided that good way
to save money would be to cut the sec
retary's salary in half. Mr.. Hall de-
clined to have his salary reduced. The
finance committee, it having found that
some opposition to Hall existed, was
not disposed to argue the matter with
him. The committee secured the Serv-
ices of Capt. j. p. Moore temporarily at
$50 month AT the meeting yesterday
Mai. j. B. Bassett moved that Hall be
elected secretary of the board of trade.
He precipitated the fight because the
finance committee asked jor more time
Oh its report. The members of the COM
mittee volunteered personal explana-
tlonS, dwelling Oh the opposition 10
Hall which they had encountered. For
a few minutes it was lively. Eloquence
guShed in manner to put to shame the
giant geySer of the Yellowstone. In the
midst of the debate Capt. Moore an
nounced that he would. under no Cir
cumstances. consent to become an OPP
ponent of Mr.. Hall, and explained his
position in such straightforward man
ner that he was personally compli-
mented. 1t all ended by Hall with
drawing from the race, the board elect =
ing Opt. J. p. Moore as secretary of the
board of trade.
Earlier in the meeting Judge At
waters resolution, declaring that the
president of the United States should
be elected for six years, was adopted.
