A MORTGAGE MIX
Between Andrew Simpson and the
Dwelling Improvement Com

Between Andrew Simpson and the
Dwelling Improvement Com
pany.
Andrew Simpson probably got justice
in the, district court yesterday, but it is
not what he expected in view of the
fact that he sued the Dwelling Improve
ment company to recover S692.77, which
he claims to have paid to the sheriff TO
redeem certain real estate, and which
was paid by the sheriff to the Dwelling
Improvement company. The stories
told on the respective sides were dia-
metrically opposed. Simpson asserted
that Susan and William Wool
sey owned certain real estate
which was sold by the sheriff TO sat
isfy mortgage given by William
WoolSey to the Dwelling Improve
ment company. The property brought
somewhat more than 500. After the
sale Simpson sought to redeem the prop
erty and paid 10 the sheriff S622. n as the
amount of the selling price with costs,
etc. Simpson asserted that he had a
cialm of 5000 against the WoOlseyS and
sued them to take judgment against
them. He paid the redemption money
TO the sheriff, which was paid to the
Dwelling Improvement company. Inc
latter company then began an action to
set aside the redemption, claiming that
the money had been furnished by the
NOOlSeyS TO redeem the property. The
company alluded to had mortgage for
s., ,666.66 and the amount the land sold
for was only a drop in the bucket toward
satisfying this mortgage. The company
charged that Simpson had cOlluded With
the WOOlSeyS TO regain possession OF
the property and denied that the Wool
SeyS owed Simpson. In the action to
set aside the redemption the court de-
cided in favor of the Dwelling Improve
ment company and gave it the land. 1t
was then that this action was brought
to recover the money paid for rademp-
ton by Simpson. When this case came
to trial yesterday Judge Otis directed
the jury to find a verdict in favor OF the
Dwelling Improvement company. AS
a conclusion the Dwelling Improvement
company has the land, which it bought
for about 5000, as part satisfaction of its
mortgage. and also has the S622.77 paid
by Simpson for redemption of the land.

to give every one show he asked
those interested be heard. MI.
Mum said Mr.. Lowry was not
at home and as the, city would not
waive any rights. he would suggest the
resolution be referred to the committee
on streets. Aid. Franklin, who fathered
the resolution in the board of aldermen,
said there was no reason why there
should be any delay. The citizens in
the vicinity had to walk mile or so to
reach the cars, and, beside, they were
not consulted when the extension
was granted. Aid, zimmerman
agreed with the Sixth ward alderman
and said the public were Watching to
see how their representatives stood on
this question, with the people or the
street car company.
MIR. Lightner said as far as he could
learn the extension from July. 1892, to
July, 1898, was unwarranted. He, how
ever, wanted to hear both sides
and thought it should go to the commit
tee on streets TO pass resolution re-
pealing the one granting the extension
to July, 1898, would bring the company
back to the one compelling the line COM
pleted July /, 1892. This would leave
the company but three days to construct
the line, a physical imp0Ssibility. Then
the railroad company II the ordinance
was repealed would not be obliged to
complete the line at any specified time.
Mr.. Pike said it was doubtful If the
city had the right TO repeal the exten-
sion. He, however. wanted the resolu-
ton to pass, for if it did not the city
could could do nothing after July l. :
Mr.. Reardon thought it dangerous to
wait until Mr.. Lowry got home. He
might wine and dine them, and then
perhaps tine resolution would not pass.
The motion to refer to the committee on
streets was lost. only johnson, Light
ner, Van Slyke and Wolterstorff voting
for it. The resolution was then passed
unanimously.
The resolution giving the committees
on ways and means, claims and accounts
of the assembly and board of aldermen
power to settle small claims against the
city, with the consent of the city attor-
ney, was passed. -
The resolution which was passed by
the board of aldermen, disseminating
the publication Of notices in the Die
VOlkSZeitung, was amended so as to
read that all notices of any kind be pub
lished only in the official paper.

Singular Story Of an Alleged
Robbery of a $1,000
s' Bill.

The most Interesting case that has
been in the United States district court
for many a day, will be taken up at 10
o'clock this morning before Judge Mel
son upon an arguments as TO the merits
Of a demurrer to an Indictment The
indictment is against the Mississippi
River Valley Lumbermen'S association
and the officers, and several prominent
humber dealers in the Northwest who
are members of the association. The
Indictment is under what is known
as the Sherman law, which pro-
hibitS combinations, trusts or pools
for forcing up the price of CON-
moditieS. The Indictment charges
that the men named attempted to force
the price of lumber fifty cents per
thousand higher, by combination OF
lumber dealers. The men indicted are

The case was called before Judge
Nelson Yesterday, when demurrer
was interposed to the indictment by
= Attorney W. f. Hale, of Minneapolis,
who will argue il on behalf of the lum-
bermen today. United States Attorney
: Eugene G. Hay will argue OH behalf OF
the government. Mir. Hale VIII con-
tend that the indictment does not make
put charge OF combination TO force the
price of lumber as asserted. The men
indicted and those in the association are
not all of the lumber dealers in the ter
ritory alluded to. There are at least
hundred other dealers in the Northwest
who are wholesalers, besides the nu-
merOuS retailers OF which the pub
f. lie may purchase, and who are not
affected by the association, even If
its members do sell lumber 80 cents per
thousand higher The law does not
prohibit the men indicted from selling
. lumber or from manufacturing it. The
Indictment does not show that the men
are manufacturers or wholesale or re-
tail dealers, and does not show that
they had control of the lumber of the
country. Arguing negatively Mr.. Hale
will contend that Others are at liberty
to sell at lower rate, and that the de-
PENDANTS would, as matter of course,
be obliged to cut prices 10 compete in
case they desired to sell their lumber.
1t will also be claimed that the lndict-
ment does not charge the shipping of
lumber from one state to another which
is necessary to make 1t come under the
interstate commerce provision prohibit
ing the restraint of trade. 1t is as
serted that, i'll short, 10 combination is
properly set out in the Indictment.

May Demand Pat Egan's Head
The Custodian's Head.
The last meeting of the present joint
court house and city hall committee
will be held Friday. At that time the
members appointed by Mayor Wright
from the council will take their seats.
1t is expected that Custodian Egan
will tender his resignation and
turn the building over to the
new city hall gang. Mr.. Egan has re-
peatedly SAID that he believes that Ito
the victorS belong the spoils,'' and
thinks it right that he be turned out.
He will not finch in case his head Is
wanted by the new administration. and
will go out with a stiff upper lip. 1t
may be truthfully said that it will be a
long time before another man will be
found who will keep the build
ing in as good order, and who
will earn his salary as well as
has energetic ''Pat" Egan. Mr.. Egan
demonstrated to the committee last
year that he had saved his entire salary
in the way of cutting down incidental
expenses. AS compared with the year
preceding his administration. he saved
i'll the gas bill alone over $780, This
was done by seeing that lights were put
out when not needed. He also saved
money by doing repairs to furniture and
fixtures himself, instead of carting them
OFF to shop or allowing them to be
thrown away.

idence. 500 Decatur street, by detectives
and locked up at the central police sta
ton. The arrest was not put on the tab
at the station and the prisoner was not

shows that while Mrs. Phillips NAV

ago Mrs. Phillips came 10 ST. Paul on
visit and stopped at her sisters house.
During the visit she infOl med her sis

of the late topics of discussion is
the Office of sheriff of Ramsey

likely that this year there will be con-
siderably less than heretofore. Among

many friends is John FoOs, and from
this tar-Off view he seems to stand an
excellent chance of securing the nUmi-

probably one of its most popular young
business men today, having attained
a large business of his own through

He is III every way qualified to fill
the spoSition of sheriff, both as a man
of executive ability and competency IN
handling the Office. He is member of
the Junior Pioneers, as well as several
other local organizations. in all OF which
ne is we'll thought of and an excellent
member. His friends throughout the
city are very anxious 10 have him make
the canvass, and they all hope and feel
confident that they will succeed in per-

that he is native-born will have cOnsid-

( Country Candidate.
The Republicans of Ramsey county
have no candidate for governor and are
very desirOusthat the fact is generally
circulated through the country district.
The party may nominate McGill or Mel
son or Heatwole or Ives, but the Re-
publicans of Ramsey are not in it. Some
days agosa little boom for McGill was
started for the purpose of working
up sentiment, but the "leaders"
got wind Of il and promptly
put their foot upon it. The
foot of the Republican bosses of this
county is of very large dimensions, and
: it crushed the life ont of the movement.
To fix up the situation a meeting of the
bosses was held last evening in the
Endicott building. at which some fifty
. Of the braves were present, including
Stanford Newell, Darius Reese and
Henry Johns, the gavel being in the
hands of Gen. Newell. The guberna-
torial situation was very thoroughly dis
1cuSsed. and, without committing them
selves i'll any way, the fifty decided that
Ramsey had no candidate, and would
support the candidate that seemed most
everybody present made one speech,
and most of them put in
two for good luck. 1t must not be sup
posed that this extraordinary piece of
If-abnegation Oh the part of the bosses
of Ramsey is without ulterior motive.
They want to get very solid with the
good farmers for use in the future.
They have at least two candidates for
United States senator, and perhaps
few other favCrs to ask in case the next
legislature should chance to be their
way. They would not have their
farmer brethren of the party think for
moment that they are hogs, 50 they will
kindly throw everything i'll the line or
governors to the country. A further
consideration of this question Will be
given on next Wednesday evening, to
which time the meeting adjourned.
