Twin City Club.

With the Entertainment Of the
Twin City Club.
The sports who attended the athletic
entertainment at the Twin City Ath-
letic club last night were given rare
treat. The programme was by far the
most interesting given in the city for a
long time. The exhibition opened with
an exhibition of tumbling and acrobatic
work. Billy Edwards and Bobby
DObbS followed with an imitation
or the recent Corbett and Mitch
ell fight, which caused considerable
laughter. There were several warm
TRY outs" between aspirantS for fistlc
honorS. Perhaps the most interesting
was the set-to between Mcclure ana
Todd. of Minneapolis. The former won
in the first round. Jack Ryan, of Omaha.
and John McMannus, of st. Paul, put
up lively "go" for three rounds, which
was declared draw. Jack Flynn, of
st. Paul, and Billy Goodside tried con-
clusion in three-round set-to. This was
really the event of the evening. 1t was
interesting from start to fiDlsh. Flynn
was given the decision.
The final contest between Oscar Gard
ner. the Omaha Kid" and Domnick
Barnes proved to he II One-Sided affair.
Gardner had an easy mark and landed
often. Barnes, however, proved to be
game, and won the admiration of the
crowd by pluckily taking punishment.
The aid" was given the decision in
the fifth round. John S. Barnes acted
as master of ceremonies and gave gen
eral satisfaction.

FUN BEFORE A JUSTICE.
ATTORNEYS COOK AND B8AME COME
TOGETHER IN COURT.
A BILL OF NINETEEN DOLLARS

It Was Contracted by a Well
Known Real Estate Dealer
The "Creditor" and Her
"Housekeeper" A Personal
Injury Case = The 500 Test
Case.
A trial IN justice court is better
than a play, and the queer characters
who find their way into the little stuffy
!; justice offices in search of the law and
Justice would make blind men laugh,
could they be induced to go OH the
stage. Yesterday Jnstice Gray's Office,
in the Skies block, was the scene of a
sensational" and ludicrous case. The
principals were we'll known real estate
man and his attorney, Fred Cook
Jennie Irwin. the keeper of house of
bad repute; her hOuSekeeper, and
learned counsel. Attorney Brame. Ii
was suit for tee payment of a debt OF
$40, which the Irwin woman claimed
the real estate dealer was guilty of. He
maintained it was nothing more nor less
than a case OF blackmail, and so refused
TO pay the amount claimed. 1t was to
establish the legality OF the debt that
Justice Gray pondered over dusty and
grim-lOoking volumes and listened to
the two attorneys chaff each other. Mr..
Cook was in a humorous mood, but his
opponent was in deadly earnest
During the progress of the trial Mr..
Brame asked a number Of questions,
and to each and every one Fred Cook
put in strenuous objection. In the
first place he insisted upon the plaintiff
submitting bill of particulars, but this
was not done, and the justice declined
to postpone the case to allow for it.
The result of it all was that the case
was lost TO the plaintiff.

Lon. With them sat T. z. Byrnes and
Charles w. Tankerslee. who are acting
as counsel for the defendants in the
case of the state versus the Floyds.
There was a large crowd in the room
when court opened at 1918. and a larger
one when court closed after O'Clock.
lnthe afternoon the crowd was aug
mented by number of ladies, married
and single, well-dreSsed and not so
well'dreSsed, all of whom were curious
and DESTROYS of hearing what was said
about their one-time dear friend, Mrs.
Floyd. and her two boys" The work of
securing a jury occupied all day. the
last man being impaneled at 4:3O. Fol-
lowing is the personnel of the jury:
James Donnelly, shoemaker living
at 81 Thirteenth street south; G. J.Brag-
don. of Excelsior: Michael E. Halloran,
an employe of the Minneapolis Iron
Store company; John Lucas. of

arrayed along i'll a row behind them in
the court room yesterday were the de-
tectlveS who worked up the case against
the F1oydS and Phil Scheig-John HOY
and Joe Lawrence. Taking it alto
gether. 1t is formidable array of talent.
Mrs. Floyd was dressed in a STYLISH
costume of black, and wore heavy
dark veil. She appeared worn and
troubled, and part of the time leaned
her head atfectIonately on the shoulder
OF her son Lou. The boys were clean
shaven, and had the appearance of
"walfing gentlemen" in modern
melodrama. Phil Scheig was not pres
ent, but he will likely be brought into
the court room today.
Nh. Nye delivered his opening argu-
ment TO the jury before court adjourned.
and made a very fair and impartial
exposition of the case and what the
state expects to prove. He said that the
state would try the case with a spirit of
fairness, and allow the defense every
opportunity to prove the innocence of
the defendants. Ills reference to the
mother and sons was rather touching.
The trial will be renewed this morning
at o'clock.

An Important Verdict.

Swan Carlson, an employe of the tell
ephone company, was accorded verdict
yesterday in the district court for 81, 500
for personal injuries sustained while in
the employ of the company. He was
injured in ditch while working for the
company and brought suit for damages.
The case is quite an important one, in
asmuch as it has potent bearing on
the personal injury law. The case will
probably be appealed to the supreme
court.
