AFTER THE HUNT.

A report from Anoka county says the wolves
were killing sheep.
They are howiing so at night time that the
farmers could not sleep.
So they organized a company to drive the
VarmintS out,
And they left the city early, with hurrah
and q shout
They were led by valiant soldier-a brave
captain. one Odell-
Who said. when we get back TO town We'll
have lots of wolves to SELL
They were jolly party-some four hundred,
more or less
But they didn't catch wolves enough to
make decent mess.
They wore red flannel on their hats like little
Riding Hood;
They climbed the barb wire fences and they
scattered through the wood.
Everything that they rounded up after hunt
ing all the day,
A reporter for the journal rounded up lit
tie jay.
They tuseled with the snow drifts from
morning until night,
Climbed over logs aud w6ded swamps and
not wolf in sight,
They expected to collect a fee, for every
wolf bounty.
Then they could feed all the poor of this and
joining county.
Some one made a great mistake, no one
wants TO tell, or
Each one claims 1t wasn't him, but was the
other Teller.
The sun went down and night came on, they
could not see to roam,
With loaded guns and empty TASKS they
started for their home.
They arrived in town about worn ont which
none of them deny
But wet from head to foot outside, their in
sides full frye.
II you could find man that went, think,
that it would pay
To put him in the museum and show him
for a jay LCete.

HIS RESIGNATION FINAL.

President Loring Firm in His De-
termination to Step Out.
The report that President Lorlng, of
The park board, would reconsider his
resignation, was denied yesterday, when
he said:
My resignation will go into effect on
The first of January" he said. My de-
termination is fixed and unalterable. In
my position, cannot afford to remain
on the board. Some time ago l was
compelled to take, on an old debt, some
property on Kings highway. There
are some improvements to be made
there, and [ do uot wish to lay myself
liable to the suspicion that l am using
my position as park commissioner to my
personal advantage. The board is un-
der contract to make certain improve
ments there, and l wish to be in a place
to ask that the contract be fulfilled, be-
sides | have always made it a rule never
to own foot of property that would be
benefited by park improvements, and
do MT propose to remain on the board
now that [ find myself unexpectedly
the poSSeSSor OF such property"
Among the names mentioned for the
position of president is that of A. J.
Boardman, the eX-president of the
board, who doubtless would be pleased
TO have reelection, but thus far there
has been no especial canvass for the

The JURY DISAGREED.
COLUMBIA MILL cOXPSHY STILL OUT
WINE THOUSAND DOLLARS.
TEN TO Two FOR THE BANK.

All but Two of the Jury Thought
That the Bank of Commerce
shoald Not BE Held Liable for
the Money Leo Heilpern Stole
Jury Out Twenty Seven
Hours.
After being out twenty seven hours.
the jury in the suit of the Columbia Mill
company against the National Bank Of
Commerce entered the court room at
o'oo p. III. yesterday, and announced
tnat they could not agree. Judge CAVITY
expressed regret at the result, inasmuch
as the case has been tried twice before.
and it was hoped it would finally be set
tied. The court then discharged the iury.
The result is practical victory for
the bank. as the jury stood 10 to in its
favor. On the first ballot day before
yesterday tile vote was to in favor of
the bank. Three of the five came over
to the defendant yesterday morning,
but the other two stood out to the last.
The evidelce showed that the Column
bia Mill company did business in very
loose manner. as shown by the fact
that Leo Heilpern could stamp the
wrong Endorsement on the back OF a
check and get it caShed. But it also
appeared that the bank repoSed implicit
conhuence in the mill company and for
several years had been cashing these
checks. Heilpern had presented the
checks in person only few times. The
amount sued for was $4,000.
The two jurors who held out insisted
that the bank ought to be compelled to
make good the amounts stolen by Heilp.
ern, as penalty for transactIng bust
ness in such a careless way. al
though 1t was shown that other
banks had cashed checks indorsed
in the same way. The two jurors re-
fused to bulge an inch, and said they
would not give in if they had TO remain
IN the jury room over Christmas. The
argument of the other ten jurors was
that the bank caShed the checks in good
faith. and the fact that they had been
doing business with the Columbia Mill
company in this manner for four or five
years, gave them an implied or apparent
authority to continue business III the
same way.
The regulations of Mr.. Heilpern have
caused more litigation than the amount
lie stole would pay for. 1t required two
OF three trials to land him in Saltwater,
and this was the third trial of the civil
suit The first resulted in disagree
ment of the jury. and the second gave
a verdict for the plaintiff, but the de-
PENDANT was awarded a new trial on
errors OF law in the judges charge.

ing hard and steady and he fully ex-

is slightly in favor of Murray. The

ster's Testimony Clark Con-
fessed to the Physician That
He Was to Blame.
After five hours deliberation last
night the jury returned the verdict mot
guilty." IN the case of w. }. Burnhem,
who shot and killed Joseph Clark on the
night of Oct. 80 last. The jury was out
ovel five hours.
The only important testimony intro
duced by the defense was that of DR..
Webster, the hospital physician. This
was temporarily excluded the day be-
fore upon objection of the prosecution,
but the court decided to admit it yester-
day. DR.. Webster testified that Clark
said to him the Afternoon of the day he
died.
at was my fault. am guilty. l am
to blame"
The defense called a few more wit
nesses. who testified to walking home
with Clark on the night of the shooting.
In rebuttal Mr.. Hall, the acting assistant
county attorney, called his associate
counsel, William Morris, to impeach the
testimony Policeman Dennis offered in
the municipal court.
Lars NJ. Rand, of counsel for the de-
Tense, made the closing speech to the
jury. In that speech he terselY re-
viewed the evidence, pointed out the
significant contradictions of testimony,
and appealed to the common sense of
the jury to decide whether Burnhem
would uniustifiably shoot man whom
he didn't know. Judge Rand's sum-
ming up made good impression.
Judge JamiSon charged the jury I'M
partially and lnstructively. No vital
point was omitted. Judge Jamison de-
fined reasonable doubt" clearly. 1t
was not mere caprice or within, but such
doubt as reasonable man would act or
refuse to act upon in affairs that con-
cerned him. The state erects every
safeguard about an accused person, that
nothing but the preponderance Of evil
dence could break down.
The jury went out at 4:15 p. m. The
loungers in the court room. the depu-
ties. the attorneys and the reporters did
not think the jury would occupy more
than half an hour In reaching a verdict.
But time dragged on, and no jury ap-
peared. The delay caused apprehension,
and Burnhem, who sat Just inside the
railing, plainly showed that apprehen-
sion. AT last the foreman of the
jury knocked on the door of
the jury room, aud when the deputy
unlocked it, informed him that the jury
was ready to report. Judge Jamison
ook his seat, counsel took their seats,
the jury filed into the court room and
sat down. Burnhem sat right behind
his attorneys. The clerk asked the jury
if they had reached a verdict. The
foreman said they had.
'What is your verdict" asked the
clerk.
Not guilty" announced the foreman.
Mr.. Burnhem shook hands with the
1urymen, the court and his attorneys,
and walked out of the court room free
man.
The jury would have returned a ver-
dict i'll less than half an hour, but for
one man, who thought that Burnhem

How the Unemployed May Be As.
sisted by the City.
Yesterday, while a prominent bust
ness man was gazing out of his office
window, he remarked the beauty and
clearness of the sky overhead and the
filthy condition of the streets beneath.
He suggested that the army of desti-
tute unemployed now in the city might
be formed into squads to clean away
the mass of Slush and debris with which
the thoroughfares are covered, disgrace
ing the city.
1t would be mutual benefit to all.
and would give the men few dollars
to jingle i'll their pocket during Xmas
week.
The hint is good one, and the city
could we'll afford to eXpend the money
in so worthy cause at this time. Here
may be a solution to the question con-
corning how to care for the unemployed.
By all means give them work.

The SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS.
1T HAS TAKEN FULL POSSESSION or
MINNEAPOLIS.
SANTA CLAUS Is ON DECK.

Old Kris Will Have Big Job Fill
ing All the Stockings Ire
mendous Crush in the Streets
and in the Stores-Extra Pre-
cautions Should Be Taken
Against Pickpockets.
The Christmas spirit was abroad in
Minneapolis yesterday in all of its in
tensity, the crush on the streets and in
and around the big stores being some
thing tremendous. If one had rot heard
anything about hard times it would
scarcely be believed from the prosper
Gus appearance of the throngs of happy
faced shoppers that there is anything in
the world like financial stringeucy.
During the day the crush OH Nicollet
avenue was something unprecedented,
and. Judging from the thousands of
mysterious handles and packages TO be
seen on every hand, Santa Claus
will have busy time in filling the stock
ings of Minneapolis Sunday night.
The crush at the postoffice and express
company offices was also something not
eQualed In years. and the energies of
the employees were taxed to the utmost
limit. Considerable complaint is made
at the frequence of pocket picking, the
large crowds offering a splendid oppOr-
tunity for the lght-fngered gentlemen
to work their graft. AS an officer re-
marked yesterday while i'll front of the
Glass block, where an immense crowd
was surging in and out, the ladies are
partially to blame, as they are careless
in exposing their pocketbooks, many of
which protrude in tantaliZing manner
from their pockets, and it is an easy
matter for an expert to take them. in
many instances it is believed that the
pocketbOoks are taken by women, and
it is said that there are several expert
female pickpocFets in the city. How
ever, all things considered, the number
of losses have been light, and all that is
needed is the exercise of little more

BOLD PICKPOCKETS,
They Rob a Man on an Inter
urban Car


j. B. Chase, of 3O1 Sturgess street, St.
Paul, reported to the police Yesterday
that he was robbed of S12O Oh All inter-
urban car. Mr.. Chase says he drew
$40 from the First National
bank, put the money in his vest
pocket and boarded the car at First ave
nue. south and Washington. Three men
jumped on just ahead of him, crowded
him back onto the platform, jostled him
around and then, jumped off the
car. Mr.. Chase then put his hand
in his vest pocket and found
nothing but a $50 bill there. The con-
ductor told him that the three men who
had just left the car had probably taken
the money. Mr.. Chase got off the
car. but, unable to find the men, re-
ported his loss to the police He was
unable to describe the pickpockets. Mr..
Chase was employed in one of the lum-
Der yards here during the past few
months, and the money was all he had

rest of the winter.

TOO PRECIPITATE.
Those Replevining Creditors of
A. T., Horton,

A. T.. Horton.
The Horton assignment was before
Judge Smith yesterday. After hearing
arguments on behalf of the receiver and
some of the parties who brought re-
plevln suits and seized lot of the fur
niture while the assignee had charge,
Judge Smith decided that, while the
parties bringing these replevin suits
had not gone far enough to be guilty of
actual contempt Of court, they were
guilty of technical contempt. Judge
Smith said that if the law intended
what the attorneys for the replevining
creditors claimed for it, whichever there
was an assignment people might bring
replevin actions until there was nothing
left for the receiver to distribute among
the creditors. These parties had brought
suit against the assignee without con-
sent of the court, which could not be
done unless the wrong complained of
were that of the assignee. Judge Smith
therefore reversed the order of the JUS
tees court

posed to Il Certain appointment.
Considerable indignation exists in
local Democratic circles over the boom
given Park Policeman Fisher for the
position of special agent of the treasury
department, now held by L. W. Law
renee. 1t is claimed by we'll known
politicians, whose Democracy is unques-
toned, that Fisher has enacted the role
of mugwump, having held his present
position five years under both parties.
1t is further asserted that he has not
been identified with the party in any
way, but that, on the contrary, he has
been opposed to its best interests. His
influence is said to exist outside of the
Democracy of Hennepin county, and if
he is appointed, it is claimed, it will be
a case of snap judgment wholly unWar-
