THE HOTEL CORRAL.

Hon. A. s. Crossield. OF Browns Valley,
arrived iii the city last evening, and will at
tend the opening session Of the supreme
court today. Browns Valley is crowded,
Mr.. Cros4field states. with people who are
seeking land ON the Sisseton reservation and
many amusing incidents happen every day.
Last Sunday, for example, number of tray
cling men who were spending the day at
Browns Valley decided that they would
make little trip over the west end of the
Indian country. A team was secured and
away they started. A company Of United
States soldiers was encamped about five
miles west along the Minnesota river, but the
guide Of the travelling men did not know the
location ofthe camp, AMI before he saw the
tents the party were almost in the
midst of the boys in blue. The sight
of the military almost unnerved the
travelling men, and the driver was ordered to
turn and drive for dear life. This he did.
About the time the wagon was nicely turned,
zone of the officers saw the party and. being
out of cigars leaped upon his horse and
started toward the "boys" This alarmed
them more than ever, and one began to whip
the ponies. The country was muddy, and
one OF the horses finally began to kick. The
wagon was tipped over and halt was nee
essariiy made. The officer rode up and said:
whats the matter, boys?"
I'VE just came to LOOK around" began one
of the party. I'VE have done nothing, want
no claims nor information"
Il did not suppose you were doing any
thing wrong" answered the officer. Il am
out of cigars, and seeing party of white
men going back to town thought might be
able to get a supply"
1T is needless to say" remarked Mr.. Cross
c1lI Ag.t1 &I1o A.
CARS the party could rake up. But you ought
to have seen them when they returned to
Browns Valley. They were covered with
mud from head to feet and altogether the
sorriest spectacles seen in long time.

Prison Inspector Frank W. Temple, of
Blue Earth City, is in the city, but not on a
political errand. The state board of prison
inspectors will hold meeting today an l
Mr.. Temple will be present. Mr.. Temple is
man OF few words, but does great deal of

to say that there is no better managed insti-
tuition of the kind i'll the coun try.

careful representative of the Seventh SEN
atoriai district in the last state senate, came
up from Luverne yesterday and will attend
meeting OF the Minnesota world fair COM
mission today. Senator La Due expects
shortly to have the pleasure of entertaining
representative OF the Russian government
at his horse farm in Rock county. The czar's
government pays great attention to securing
hardy and fast horses for army use and has
sent man to this country TO investigate the
various breeds of horses that are to be found
here. Senator La Dues farm will be visited
by this commissioner for the purpose of
seeing the dam and several sisters of the
famous Polly,who won honors at the Moscow
races few years ago. Polly is now the prop

commissioner who will visit Mr.. La Due pro-
nounces her the faVorite OF all the Amer lean
horses he has seen so far. She was bred by
Senator La Due. who holds four large and
handsome medals given him by the Russian
government. Tneshistory of these medals,
and how Senator La Due secured them, is
romancein itself, and shows the carefulness
iof the public officers in the land of the car.

j. W. Bull, the Duluth attorney, arrived in
st. Paul, last evening. and is at the Mer-
chants. Like all other Duluthans, Mr.. Bull
is interested in the iron boom, and is pre-
dieting much greater excitement with the
advent of good weather than has been known
SO far. Just as soon as the weather will per-
NIT, Mr.. Bull states that the iron territory
win be covered with prospectors in all di-
rections.
1.-THE size of the mltter isl he said, "that
the greatest and most valuable finds are yet
to be made. The discoveries SO far made
show that iron is found over large terri
tory, and it IS simply absurd to say that it is
to be found only here and there. Some OF
the finds may not be worked at once, because
only the best and easiest worked mines will
be developed Immediately. Many of the
best mines, too. will be Obliged to await the
building of railroads.
