A jam Between Four and Five
Miles in Length.

A jam Between Four and Five
Miles in Length.
Patrick Sullivan returned yesterday
from a trip to the log jam at Kettle
river rapids in the st. Croix. He says
that the jam contains upward Of 10000
600 feet of logs and is between four and
five miles in length. A crew of forty
five men are working on the jam, but
the progress made is necessarily slow,
and, unless a larger crew is put on, Mr..
Sullivan thinks it will take long time
to break it. New logs are constantly
arriving, and the outlook for breaking
the jam in short time is by no means
encouraging. 1t is a hindrance to near
ly all of the loggers who have drives
coming in on the upper river and to
mill owners here. who are anxiOusly
awaiting sufficient supply of logs with
which to run their mills. Some OF the
mills in this city have been running
ever since the lake opened up, while
others have not started. .5., E.
Larry McManus was arrested Tuesday
evening on complaint of Charles Stone,
who charges him with rObblng him on a
North Wisconsin passenger train Tues
day. MeManus aud Stone are river
men, and met at Spooner, Wis. Stone
had wallet in his inside pocket con-
tanning $40. which ne missed when he
reached st. Paul. He, Immediately re-
turned to this city and notified the.
police OF the robbery, and McManuS,
was apprehended. Although McManus,
would not confess that he had taken
the money, Chief of Police Shortalt
saws that the evidence is strongly
against him. The theft occurred in
Wisconsin. and he will be taken to
Hudson for trial. Stone says that he
was slightly under the influence Of
liquor, and that the money was taken
while he was asleep. -
A terrific rain storm set in at 4
O'clock yesterday afternoon, and In less
than fifteen minutes water rushed
down Chestnut street in torrents, cover
ing the sidewalks and street crossings
at such depth as to compel pedestri-
ans to seek shelter. The rain was the
hardest seen in this city for years, and
the sight of the immense torrents cons
ing down from the hills was an inter.
'esting one to see. Several cellars " ERE
filled with water, but no further damage
was done. 80

terday that he did not think the case OF
