Ex-Auditor Braden s son and ex-
deputy auditor Griswold Disguised
scores Of people in the lobby Of
the Nicollet House in Minneapolis
last week with the virulent abuse
Of Bob Dunn. Dunn seems to
have incurred the enmity Of the
entire state house gang and all their
strikers and hangres But why
should Capt. Braden' s relatives and
friends take such an active part
against himi All through the last
session Of the legislature the
Democrats were goading Dunn to
investigate Braden as well as
Biermann, but the Princeton man
stoutly maintained that so far as
he knew Capt. Braden had COM
piled with the law. In view of
later developments Mr.. Dunn was
probably mistaken. If the gang
continues to hound Dunn he will
have q Walk-over IN the Republican
state convention. The people are
beginning to catch on.

MORE JUSTICE! ;.
The Council Re.Hears TIE Butler
Flynn Matter and Seats
~ .-.. ~ Butler.
It Was Nearly Midnight Before The
Question Was
Settled.

AS soon as. the council organic d
last evening, it took up the Butler
Flynn deal from the Second ward
and considered it over three hours.
The whole matter was gone into,
and both sides ably presented by
the attorneys-C. A. Lintlbcrgh for
Butler and j. H. Rhodes for Flynn.
Although there had been consider
able hot talk by some people and
few emphatic expressions on both
sides in the, newspapers, there was
nothing unpleasant or personal i'll
the proceedings last evening. A
careful consideration of the question
satisfied the council that Butler was
entitle to his seat, and he got it.
1t was about two weeks ago that
the old city council refused to give
DR.. Wright his certificate Of election
as alderman from the Second ward,
although the judges returns showed
him elected. Then the council, to
the surprise OF nearly everyone, de-
clared the seat of the other alderman
from the Second ward, W. A. But
Ter, vacant and appointed J. G.
Flynn in the place. These two acts
regarding the aldermen from the
Second ward seemed SO unfair that
emphatic protests were in order.
Now that both wrongs. have been
righted as far as the council
can do SO, the future proceedings
will probably be on the lines OF law
and Justice. If a contest develops
that Dr.. Wright was not elected, he
should not hold the office, but any
illegal and unfair proceedings will be
promptly denounced. If the Butler.
Flynn matter goes into the courts
then the deci sion will settle tn,
matter.

rill who was then returning. The
servants We're therefore left alone
and two Of, them, Hannah and
Martha johnson, were the only oc-
cupants last night. They occupied
their room in the third story OF the
building and We're aroused about
$3.50 this morning and noticed SIN oke
in the room. They hurriedly caught
up what clothes We're handy and
commenced search for the fire. The
house was full OF smoke and going
down to the pantry they discovered
the first fire between the walls.
This would seem to indicate that the
fire started in the basement and
crept up tine walls. Barney Keleher,
who slept in the carriage house, was
awakened and aroused the neigh
bors. The girls, although bare
footed, worked with will in pump
ing water and endeavoring to put
| out 1he fire but they soon saw that
| all efforts in that direc ton were futile.
All hands set to work to remove
the furniture and pictures. but be-
fore they had saved much the flames
spread rapidly and drove them from
the building, not however, until the
cook, Hannah johnson, was almost
overcome by the heat and smoke
and her recovery, while almost GER
tain, will be a matter Of several
weeks. The other ones who helped
were pretty badly used up.
The house burned like finder an(
