ST. LOUIS PARK.
The Plat, Embracing 1000 Acres,
Has Been Filed.

The Plat, Embracing 1000 Acres,
Has Been Filed.
The filing of the plat OF st. Louis Park
with the register of deeds last Saturday
was not only the most important real
estate event of the week, but of the sea-
son. The plat was in book form and
covered twenty-One pages, showing
months of surveying and study. The
land embraced is 1000 acres, out of
which IL 900 lots have been plated. ST.
Louis Park is already little city in it
self. and the population is estimated at
nearly 5000. The manufacturing cOn-
Germs already there are familiar
TO MinneapOlitans. There are SIX
factories running and turning out ma
terial of various kinds, and by fall tho
mammoth ESterly Harvester works will
be in running order. The property at
st. Louis Park is controlled by the
Minneapolis Land and Investment
company, of which L. Is. Walker is the
head, and associated with hlm are Louis
f. Menage, Henry f. Brown, &. q.
Goodrich and A. NJ. Allen.
Three trunk lines run through the
park. and the Great Northern, which
runs close to the boundary line, will nut
spur tracks in. An electric line is at
present being built TO connect with lines
in the city. and the tracks will no doubt
be down this month.

he had been iirSt-claSS president

mischievOuS boys gathered around
the man and pulled his coat
and poked fun at him. lie stood it pa
tiently for some time. remarking that
men in his position had to bear insults
that came from the rabble. But his
patience finally gave way, and grabbing
one of his tOImenterS, lie literally tore
the clothes from his body. The re-
mainder of the boys disappeared like
magic, and when he had dispOrted him.

tent, he allowed him to go. Suffice it
to say. the little fellow did not stand
screaming down the street, dragging
his mutilated garments behind him.
The south station WIS notified about
the mans actions. but by the time an
officer arrived there the pseudo Blaine
had escaped. Later in the evening he
entered Cedar avenue clothing store
and ordered several suits of clothes.

bills and would settle for the clothes.
1t so happened, however, that the store
keeper had never heard of Blame and

They Are Having a Pretty Lively
Time of 1t.
The crooks are going to have lively
time of it here during the convention,
and few of them are already aware of
it. The city detectives made things
interesting for them yesterday, and kept
the jailers at the central station locking
up prisoners. When the Kansas City
train arrived at the union depot yester-
day morning a gang OF ten crooks
boarded the forward coach. intending to
work through to the SleeperS in the
rear. The gang was headed by
noted pickpocket from Chi
cago, and lie was recognized by
Inspectors Lawrence and Hoy, who
were in the crowd at the depot In
spectOr Lawrence started after the fel-
low, when the entire gang took alarm
and started to run. The two inspectors
and Patrolman McKenna gave chase
and cOrnered their men at the haymar-
ket. Here the crooks turned upon the
officers and an exciting fight occurred,
in which clubs and revolvers figured
prominently. Five of the crooks, in
cluding the leader, finally managed to
get away, while the Others were
marched to the central station and
locked up. They gave their names as
Frank Durand. Harry Hanson. James
Allen, james Carney and John Kelly.
Later i'll The day Doyle and Howard
brought in jim Carey, pickpocket.
Doyle and Lawrence came in with John
Williams, J. w. Mills and Jim Adams,
also Chicago crooks. In the afternoon
Capt. Day and Patrolmen McKenna and
York arrested Sam Drew. Frank Smith,
August Emnel. Peter Tonson, Frank
Baker and Walter Childs. Chicago
crooks. At o'clock the inspectors ar
rested Chicago saIoonkeeper named
Dean and two pretty hard-lOOking
characters, whom Dean said were his
bartendrrS. InaSmuch as nothing could
be proven against them, they were al
lowed to 20 again.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Agnes Huntington and her company
drew large house to the Lyceum last
night. where she appeared as Captain
Therese." The opera is good, and it is
not. The music is bright, but the libret-
TO is somewhat heavy. 1t is English,
and English humOr does not go with
American audiences. Miss Huntington
sings better and looks better than ever.
For this engagement she has surround
ed herself with capable company.
While she is the star, she does not deny
other members of the company OpDOr-
tunitles to make favorable impressions.
The chorus is large and well trained.
The opera is handsomely staged.
At the Grand last night the JEANNE
Winston Opera company began an en-
gagement for convention week, with a
change of bill every night. Last night
it was "BOccaccio.' While this opera
was never one of the best things in
comic opera, it served 10 show what the
company can do. 1t is a good company
for popular prices. Miss Winston, who
carried the lOle Of BOccacciO, is an eX-
cellent singer, has a pleasing stage
presence and handles male character
better than most women. She finds a
capable assistant in Miss Alice John
son. the soprano. Miss Johnson sings
like bird. As for the other members
of the company little can be said. They
have fair voices, mGSt of them. but are
not at home in action. The comedians
are not so strong as they should be.
They are burlesQuers rather than come
dians, and not flrst-class burlesquers at
that.
Owing to rain aud wet grounds. the
Wild West show did not give any per-
furmances at Lake Harriet yesterday
To-Day, however, the weather permit
ting, the usual matinee and evening
performances will be given.

pany, was decided improvement on
