Indian Offenders on the Criminal
side-Damage Suits.
The United States district court has
finished up the criminal business before
it. Over forty persons, including a
number of Indians, have been sent to
the penitentiary and to Jail for viola
tions of the law. District Attorney Hay
and his assistant, j. E. Stryker, made an
excellent record during the term, and
dispatched business with remarkable
rapidity. Very small was the proper
tion of those escaping after being IN
dicted The last case tried was that of
Tom Wah-wahn, who was yesterday
found guilty of selling liquor to an
Indian. and was sentenced to four
months in the Jail at Detroit.
Cha-ge-gay-kunig, who stabbed fell
low Indian with butcher knife, from
the effects of which he died, and John
Sloan, who is accused of choking a
squaw to death, pleaded not guilty, and
their trial postponed until the Septem-
ber term of the United States circuit
court which convenes in Minneapolis.

RAILROAD LANDS TAXABLE
After the Company Has Sold the
Timber Rights.

In the opinion of both state and
county officials, the corporations that
own state land grants have perSistently
and Systematically attempted to evade
taxation. The lands that have gener-
ally passed to the railway companies.
for Illustration, are valuable only on ac-
count of the pine timber that there is
upon the tracts. So long as the titles to
these lands are in the railway company
to which they were granted by the state
they are entirely exempt from state
taxation. This is what is known as the
gross earnings system of taxation.
Stripped of the timber, the lands
are practically valueless. But the tim
Der is exceedingly valuable. 1t is on ac-
count of this fact that the railway COM
panies have been IN the habit of selling
to lumber companies the right to cut off
the timber Internationally. That is to
say, there is no time Limitation made.
The buyer of this right may let the tim
Der stand at his own option. He may
cut it, for instance, ten or twenty years
after the sale Of the timber right or
lease. The officials have held. and the
attorney general has been of this opin-
ion, that the sale of these rights is vir-
tually a sale OF an interest in the lands
themselves. and that in consequence of
this the lands become taxable under the
statutes of the state. from the date of
y such transfer.
A test case was brought by the county
attorney of Pine county, and he was
assisted by Assistant Attorney General
Edgerton in the trial. Robert G. Sand
eTs is the county attorney mentioned.
For some reason the case was taken to
Crosby. There were three cases, in
fact. and yesterday Judge Crosby filed
his decision, and the result is victory
for the state and for Pine county.
There are vast tracts OF these land
grants located in the upper tier of coun-
ties. and they are all interested i'll this
decision. 1t means a great deal of
money. At present these grants are
paying no taxes, but at the advice of
the county attorney of Pine county and
of the attorney general the lands
in such instances as came to the
knowledge of the county officials
where the right to cut the timber had
been sold to outside parties, or to, peO-
pie other than the railway corporation
to which the grant was made were
placed on the tax roll. The owners re-
fuse to pay the taxes, and the cases
were brought. Judge Crosby holds that
such lands are taxable, and now the de-
PENDANTS are preparing to take the
cases into the appellate court in the
hope of securing a reversal of Judge
CroSby's decision. Gen. Childs says he
has no fear of the outcome, however.
and Gen. Edgerton is also confident
that the judgment given by Judge
Crosby will be sustained.

THE THRILLING EXPERIENCE
Of Martin Kimbail, Of st. Paul, in
the Worlds Fair Fire.

Of Martin Kimball, Of st. Paul, in
the Worlds Fair Fire.
a young st. Paul man. Martin Kim
ball, whose home is on the West side,
was the Columbian guard who had a
thrilling experience at the terrible fire
at the worlds fair Monday. When the
fire broke out he was ordered to the
scene, and with the instinct of trained
fireman found his way to the main roof
of the burning building. Seeing that
help was needed in handling the hose,
he started to the top of the tower, but
when twenty feet from the top he cast a
glance down and saw a small flame at
work among the rafters below him. He
had seen it erected, knew what it was
composed of and foresaw that
it would be in flames in mo-
ment. That was exactly what oc-
Cured, but as soon as Kimball saw
the situation he seized the rope that had
been stretched to the tower, and in less
time than it takes to tell it was down on
the main roof. BY this time the unfor-
tunate tiremen on the tower had begun
to jump or fall. His next thought was
how to reach the ground, and of this
there was only one hope. That was the
line of hose that was stretched from the
roof. The upper end was not fastened
in any way, but there was about 800 feet
Of hose on the roof, and the couplings
had caught in the holes in the roof in
such way as to look secure. However,
not moment was to be lost, and, seiz-
ing the hose with all his strength, KIM
ball slid with fearful velocity to the
ground, where he arrived without any
sensible injury.

BETHEL WORK.
A Special Session OF the Woman's
Auxiliary Board.


The situation and future prospects of
the Bethel work in st. Paul was dis
cussed at a special meeting of the aux
iliary board at the home of Mrs. G. E.
Skinner yesterday morning. Mrs. r..
NJ. Newport. president, presided, and
the following members of the board
were present: MesdameS j. II. David
son, f. B. Doran, q. E. Skinner, f. D..
Hager. f. b. Gilbert, G. q. Higbee, r..
A. Kirk. Charles Nicnols, NJ. y. Rea-
ney, ii. l.. Morse, A. E. Wemott and II.
B. Willis. Rev. Mr.. Morgan, chaplain
of the Bethel, was present at this meet
ing. as also was Rev. MIR. Franklin, SUI
perintendent of the state bethel work.
In order that the work may go on, as
the women of the auxiliary board are
most anxious that it should. suitable
quarters must be provided; aud to i'll
sure its future success it seems abso-
lutely necessary that a new boat be
built, since permanent quarters and a
home feeling are among the strongest
factors in holding the people for whom
they are seeking. Solicitations for a
building fund are deemed advlsa-
BILE for this purpose, and all con-
ributlOnS are thankfully received.
The woman's board pledged themselves
to indorse and heartily cooperate with
any and all measures proposed by the
board of directors, but could decide
upon nothing else definitely. The board
of directors held meeting yesterday
afternoon at 80 in the chamber of COM
merce. All the churches in the city are
asked to assist in asking for the dollar
subscriptions that are to be asked for
through the city. The woman's auXil-
iary board adjourned at 1890 TO meet
again at an early date.

Railway Discrimination.

Some time ago B. F. Partridge of Fer
gus Falls filed with the board of rail-
road and warehouse commissioners a
complaint against the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific railways in which
it is specifically charged that these rail-
roads are discriminating against inter-
ested parties upon the freight rates for
wagon materials from points along the
roads tributary to Fergus Falls. 1t is
claimed among other things that the
railway companies can we'll afford to
carry these materials at the same rates
charged for wheat and other grains.
All the parties interested were repre-
sented and they made their convention
al arguments. Mr.. Partridge testified
for the cause he represents and it was
agreed, that one week should be given
for parties to the controversy to file
written arguments, and then the COM
mission will take the case under advise
ment,
