INTO THE BASKET.
Heads of Two Veteran Police ON.
GERS Cut Off yesterday by
the Mayor.
Incompetency and Lack OF Pro.
fessional Activity the Kea-
sons for the Action.

With one swing of Mayor Eustis' lit
tie hatchet yesterday the heads OF two
fat cOppers were sent rolling into the
sawdust without a moments warning,
and the number of patrolmen was re-
duced Just two. The dismissals were,
however, not made with this end in
view, but owing TO reasons somewhat
sensational and far more interesting.
The patrolmen were asked TO hand III
their stars and batonS.
The decapitated men are Patrolmar
j. p. Brault. who was appointed to the
force in April. 1854, and Mounted Officer
Nj. G.. MCGOWAN, who first climbed his
horse in 1891. Both men are in the Sec.
ond precinct, which was the scene of
the Harris murder, and which crime
proved the unmaking of the above Off
GERS, as il was owing 10 the alleged i'll
competency displayed at that time that
the mayor played the eXecutiOner yes
terday. But few men on the force were
aware that either of the officers had
been on the carpet before his honor the
mayor, but those who had seen the pa
trolmen in the city hall guessed that
something was up.

murder the two discharged officers dis
played an astonishing lack of prowess
ana professional skill, and that their
department was not unlike that which
new recruit OH the force would have
shown. The mayor looked very care
fully into the matter before he took Off
cal action, and SAYS that he is surprised
that some OF the most simple matters OF
precautlon, which would have occurred
to an ordinary citizen, did not come into
the heads OF the offending policemen.
For one thing, when the shooting was
reported, the men went 10 the scene,
where they remained for over an hour
before they took any active interest
in the capture of the murder
ers. Officer McGowan even tied his
horse several blocks from the
place of the shooting. and walked to the
house. The officers, it is said, displayed
the curiosity of an ordinary spectator,
and not tne spirited action that should
characterize the movements OF officers
who had been on the force as long as
had both McGowan and Brault. The
mayor thinks that there are some of the
men on the force who would have had
every bridge to st. Paul guarded within
a half-hour. McGOwdn especially, who
had horse at his command, could have
sped to the nearest bridge, and perhaps
encountered some persons whose arrest
might have proved valuable Ill connec-
ton with the unraveling OF the mystery.

o. the small fame which had started.
Abouta half-hour later considerable ex-
scitement was created by the sud
den temperance of the fire de-
partment in the down quarter of the
city. The engines this time went
to the corner of First avenue north and
Seventh street. where lively blaze
had secured good foothold. The blaze
originated between the large boarding
ho6ses owned by Mrs. Crafty and the
adjoining house, owned by Mrs. James
Walker. The fire. it seems. was set
under the porch of the former house,
andft secured such rapid hold that it
communicated itself to the next house.
The firemen worked quickly, and saved
the neighborhood big fire. The total
damage was about So, 600.
The engines had scarcely left the
nelghborhOod before another alarm
called the apparatus to the Orleans ho-
tel. In this case also the fire was of in
cendiary origin and was started in the
basement. But little damage was done.

For Fargo's Benefit.

The concert last evening at the Ex-
position building for Fargo relief was
an able demonstration of the fact that
Minneapolis stands ready to answer Il e
call of need. The concert in itself was
genuinely successful. There had been
1900 tickets disposed of, which means
about $1,000, and there was an enthu-
siastic and appreciative audience Of
from 1,500 to 1000 people.
1t is expected that the new pavements
which are to be put down on Fifth
street will be of brick. as the council is
anxious TO try this form of pavement.

Gets Loose in the Worlds Fair
City.
There is considerable suppressed in
dignation in the Office of the city asses :
sor over the statements made in Chicago
recently by F. G. Waite. special agent
for the census bureau, looking up sta
tistics of wealth in large cities. In an
article published in Chicago and tele-
graphed over the country, Mr.. Waite
SAYS there are held in this city unplatted
lands. not farms, to the value Of $30,000,-
600. This statement, the assessor says,
is untrue. The total value of all unplat-
ted lands in Minneapolis is not to ex-
ceed $4,000, 900, and more than half of
it is in the downtown business district,
owned by the large milling companies
and estates that front on the river.
The outlying unplatted land, the only
land that could be held for purposes Of
speculation, is not worth more than
s., 100000 to S4.000.000.
In the same article Mr.. Waite says he
has made a compilation OF all the prop
erty in Minneapolis, by wards, and done
other giant feats of work as result OF
his visit to this city. The city assessor
says that all Mr. Waite got in the way
of figures concerning Minneapolis he
got from his office.
II let him have one of my best men,"
continued Capt. Plummer. 'and lent
him all the assistance possible. The
figures he got from this Office he could
not have compiled in six months. We
ourselves, with all the data handy,
could not have done the work in less
than thirty days, but it SO happened
that we were working along similar
line, and we simply gave Waite the
benefit of our figures. That is all there
is in his statement that he has made a
compilation such as he claims to have

Too Much Electricity.

While the lightning was not severe or

too much for telephone wires. and
burned out about seventeen lines in the
city, beside the half-dozen wires be-

o'clock the st. Paul lines were useless,
while the lines between the city and
Excelsior were burned out about the
same time. A great deal of trouble was
also experienced with the Hennepin

The Sight of a Century.

ARKANSAS CITY, Kan, Sept. Is.
The camp along the Kansas line
is one of the most remarkable
sights Of the century. Such gather
ings have been seen only a few
times, and one of such magnitude
as this was never seen before. An
unbrokeu line of dirty tents, sod
houses, wagons of all descriptions,
horses, cattle, hogs, and sheep, men
women and children OF every age
extends for two hundred miles,
but in no place more than
half mile wide! That
is the sort of camp that is now oc-
cupying the southern edge of Kan
sas, west of Arkansas City. In the
town there are assembled probably
10000 boomers, buying outfits, pro-
visions and clothing. Many of
these are discouraged by the re-
ports of the great number of con-
teStants already on the ground, and
familiar with it, but hundreds are
full of hope. There is bicycle club
at Arkansas City, composed of 300
boomers,who propose to ride across
the line on their wheels. In the or
ganizatiOn are all sorts of strange
mortals, from grizzled farmers,who
will look out of place on their
shining machines, to delicate
clerks, who will look out of place
on the raw land of the Cherokees-
in case they get any of it.
The most sanguine of the BOOM
ers now admit that the chances of
getting farm are about one in
two; in other words, twice as many
home-seekers are on hand than
there ought to be.
