WALKER WANTS FREE WATER
For His Central Market-The Or
dinance Allows It.

VI bIs central AdrkGC-Ino Ut
dinance Allows 1t.
T. B. Walker appeared before the
water works committee at the city hall
Y esterday, and called attention to the
fact that the city has been charging
regular water rates for the water sup
piled to the Central market building.
Mr.. Walker pointed out 10 the commit
tee a clause in the Central market house
ordinance which says that water shall
be furnished to the market through one
two-inch pipe free of charge. Yet
last year the market company paid $40
water tax. Mr.. Walker exclaimed that
this was imposed because there was
some doubt in the mind of Registrar
Moody whether the commission houses
in the market house were entitled TO the
water free of charge, while other prod
uce dea lers on First avenue north and
in that vicinity were taxed for water
the same as other citizens,
City Attorney Simpson gave it as his
opinion that the commission houses are
part of the market, and that the III
tentiOn Of the ordinance. while not clear,
was that the water should be furnished
free TO the entire market building.
One or two members of the water
works committee thought that 1t was
only intended to furnish water for flush
ing or cleaning the market The matter
was disposed of by referring it to the
city attorney. aud Mr. Walker was re-
quested TO prepare a communication
and submit il to the council Thursday
night. Mr.. Walker claims that the
clause referring to the free water was
understood at the time to mean that the
city would furnish water through the
two-inch pipe TO the entire building.
The committee VIII recommend that
John POlaYcasck, who was injured while
engaged in laying a water main. be al
lowed 500, and that the city pay his
doctor and his medicine bills.

A New Summer Hotel.

1t is reported that Wallace ". Wait.
the well-known hotel man, proposes to
erect a summer hotel at Deephayen.
Lake Minnetonka, this spring. Mr.
Wait has had the plans drawn up, and,
according to them, the building will
cost 100000. The proposed site is about
half way between Deephaven station
and the Hotel St. Louis. 1t overlooks
the mouth of Carson's bay. The build
ing of the hotel. however, depends upon
the railroad rates TO MinnetoDka. If
they go down, the hotel may go up.
Mr.. Waite's idea is to make it very
swell tavern, with only 100 rooms, all to
be handsomely furnished and equipped
with the finest and most modern hotel

THEY ARE GOOD INDIANS.
NO TROUBLE LOOKED FOB At THE
WHITE EARTH AGENCY
SENSATIONAL REPORT NAILED.

Gus Beauiieu Calls Down the
Pioneer Press in No Uncertain
Manner-No Excitement Among
the Indians on Account OF the
Recent Change-On the Com
trary. 1t Was Looked For.
Among the arrivals in the city yester
day was Gus Beaulieu, of the White
Earth Indian agency, and, seen by "A
GLOBE reporter, he expressed great in
dignation at the sensational reports
published in the Pioneer Press to the
effect that an uprising is imminent on
account Of the recent change in the
agency and the manner in which az
fairs are administered. %
In speaking of affairs at the agency,
Mr.. Beaulieu said that everything is
perfectly quiet upon the reservation,
and that the recent change of agents
has caused no surprise or dissatisfaction
whatever, and that the Indians looked
for the change long before 1t came, and
were not visibly disappointed because
the new agent happened to be an lii
nois man. 1t is matter of indifference
to the Indians who is Indian agent as
long as he administers the affairs of the
agency properly, nor do they care what
may be the outcome of the settlement of
agency property between the incoming
and outgoing agents. as the bonds of
the latter are sufficient to protect the
Indian interests. Up to the present
time none of the members of the reser-
Walton have been removed from their
positions by Agent Allen, and it is a
matter of no Importance or interest to
them whether the white employees are
removed or not. And the very fact that
great many employees have remained
through several successive administra-
tons, and become so al bitrary that they
made many enemies unOn the reserYa-
ton, is a reason why the Indians have
been inclined to view propOsed changes
with considerable satisfaction.
Agent Allen aud the Chippewa COM
mlsSIoners were not responsible for the
non-payment OF annuiIies 10 certain
mixed bloods not living upon any reSer-
Yatlon, but these were objected to by
the chiefs of the tribe, who refused to
certify that they were members of the
tribe entitled to annuities. There is
some truth in the report that considera
Die dissatisfaction exists against the
manner of administering the act of Jan.

consolidate the Indians in this state
upon the White Earth reservation, but
this is not due especially to the actions
OF the present Chippewa commission,
but originated when an improper inter-
probation of the act was made to the In
dams by the commission which nego-
tiated with them for their consent to its
provisions.
The Republican officehoiders upon
the White Earth reservation are antici-
pating Agent Aliens actions regarding
themselves, and l have no doubt that
the statements made to the Pioneer
Press comes from them"
In conclusion. Mr.. Beaulieu said that
the only employe removed from Office
by Agent Allen was E. II. Funk, who is
a Democrat. and who was reported by
Maj. Aliens predecessor for alleged
neglect Of duty as chief agency clerk.

HE BROKE JAIL.
A Horse Thief Arrested in Mime
apoIis Escapes From Chaska,

The police received word from Chaska
that John Anderson, the man who stole
a team of horses and was arrested in
Minneapolis for trying to dispose of
them, escaped from the Jail there yes
terday. Anderson had hired the team
from Frank White. a liveryman, and
drove to Minneapolis. Here he offered
TO sell the horses and sleigh to Mr.. Zino-
norman for $40. The team was worth
about $500. Zimmerman handed Ander-
son 81 on account and said if he would
go with him TO the bank he would give
him the rest Of the money. Instead of
driving to the bank Zimmerman pulled
up in front Of police headquarters and
turned Anderson over TO Capt. Hem.
The next day Sheriff Dutoit, of Carver
county, and White, the owner of the
team, arrived, and the two took Ander-
son back 20 Chaska. Anderson cried
like a ten-year-old boy just before leav-
ing the central station and pretended to

of City Treasurer Haugan
Against the Assignee Of the

the Assignee Shall Hand Over
the $tO6,Q0Q Deposited.
The city is after that sl06, 900 which
eX-City Treasurer Kortgaard claims he
deposited in the State bank, and which
City Treasurer Haugan allowed to re-
main there by accepting Kortgaard's
check for the amount. Mr.. Haugan ap-
piled TO Assignee Hahn, of the State
bank. some weeks ago, and demanded
that the money be turned over to the
city, but the assignee refused. claiming
that the money was not on deposit with
the State bank, and that Mr.. Haugan's
remedy was against Mr.. Kortgaard,
who had turned over the city's
funds 10 his successor. Mr.. HaUgan
has appealed TO the courts from
Assignee Hahn's decision. But this is
not ali. The city has lied an inter
venor through its attorney, David f.
Simpson. 1t is claimed by the city that
City Treasurer Haugan was not author
lied by the charter to deposit the money
with the State bank, and that the State
bank never gave the city any bond for
the amount on deposit, and that it was
aware at the time that the deposit was
made without the knowledge or consent
OF the city. For these reasons the city
insists that the assignee is bound to
hand over TO the city the entire amount
intact, viz: SOS, 655.24.
Should the court sustain the claim
made by the city attorney. it would give
the city the preference over all other
creditors, including the state and the
county. When the case is heard in
court 1t is likely that the true story of
eX-City Treasurer Kortgaard's manage
ment Of the city money will be re-
yealed, and the public will also learn

HUNTINGTON LETS LOOSE
OF the Control of Chesapeake
Southwestern.

Southwestern
NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-The announce
ment was made today by Coils P. Hunt
ington that be had sold the control of
the Chesapeake. Ohio & Southwestern
railroad to the illinois Central. Mr..
huntington retains his first mortgage
bonds, but surrenders about three
quarters of the stock and a major
ity of the junior securities. The
transfer is made directly to the Illinois
Central. and apparently the original
plan for making the payment to Mr..
huntington in notes guaranteed by the
illinois Central, and secured by the de-
post OF the Chesapeake. Ohio & South
western stock and junior bonds, has
been abandoned. The transaction now
completed between Mr.. Huntington and
the illinois Central in no way includes
the Louisville & Nashville. Mr.. Hunt
lngton spoke OF the transaction as fol-
lows:
II have sold my holdings in the Chasa-
peake, Ohio & Southwestern fer about
s5,0O0,000. This gives the purchasers
the control of the property. When |
first began building the Chesapeake &
Ohio railroad, obtaining the roads west
of that, expected ultimately to get
control of the Atlantic & Pacific, max
ing direct line from Newport News TO
San Francisco by way of the Canadian
Forks, River Valley s. Albuquerque,
and very near the line on which the
last-naned road was actually built to
Mojave, where it connects with the
Southern Pacific. Some of my assocI-
ates, however, did not think well of it,
and the line was diverted to
New Orleans. This did not make
the best line across the con-
tinent. and so thought it
best to dispose OF all my interests this
side Of the Mississippi river. The
Chesapeake, Ohio & Southwestern was
the best line left east of the Mississippi.
l was disposed to sell this road at the
low price paid for it, as the time has
passed when anything could be made
out OF it as an independent property"

HIS PLANS BALhED.
Fine Scheme to Loot an Omaha
Bank.

Il Inc SCuOHc 10 1OOC an Om2Aa
Bank.
OMAHA. Neb., Dec. 19-It has been
discovered that Chris Frahm, the de-
faulting bookkeeper of the German Say
ings bank. had laid plans to loot the in
stitutiOu, and only by an accident was
his purpose defeated. Frahm was dis
covered TO be 5000 short in his ac-
counts. and was placed under arrest.
On the night before the discovery was
made two clerks were called upon TO
remain at the bank for several hours at
night to do some work. At II O'Clock
they were astonished to hear the alarm
on the time lock vault. They immedi-
ately investigated, and found the lock
had been fixed to open at II O'Clock. 1t
was Frahm's duty to set this lock each
evening. The clerks who discovered
the discrepancy notified a bank official.
ana he adjusted the lock. a watch was
kept on the bank during the night.
There was S24, Coz in cash in the vault
that night, and the belief is expressed
that Frahm had determined to make
way with the entire amount. but was
frustrated by tie presence of the clerks.
