KENT CASE DRAGS.
Only Three Jurors Yet Chosen
Interest Increasing.


{ FARGO, N. D., July 17.-By this
morning Fargo people began to realize
that the Kent case was on in the dis
trict court and the court room was we'll
filled, with few scatterings of ladies.
The process of securing a jury is very
slow and to many it is tedious, but it
seems that the bulk of the people are
very we'll acquainted With the case,
and also many seem to have known
kents former reputa ton. Out of the
thirty-four men thus far examined but
three We're chosen. to take their seats
IN the jury box. Kent looks very pale
and is deeply interested, and when
juror states that he believes him guilty
MS whole frame seems to tremble. 1t
is thought that it will take ten days to
secure jury. Immediately on con-
Ven1ng yesterday morning the process
OF examining the jurors began. The
state used its third peremptory and the
defense has already used ten 1t
seems that the process of securing a
jury will be extended. Every one
seems to be thoroughly acquainted
with the case and especially the man
who is accused of the crime. They
know all about his former misdeeds
and all seemed to have formed the
same opinion, and today it is believed
that the change of venue from Morton
to Cass county will not add a great
deal Of strength to the case for the
defendant. Attorney Nye, of Mime
apolis, is a conspicuous person in the
court room and he is doing some ex-
cellent work. Assistant United States
Attorney Miller has been retained by
the state.

MAsaUERADERs ON BIKES.
Brilliant Scene in the yNEeeIman,s
Parade.

The bicycle parade gotten up by the
merchants of Franklin avenue last
night was a big, glittering success.
All the bicyclists were there, and every
known make of wheel, wheelmen and
Wheelwomen was represented. AS
early as 7:30 o'clock thousands of
bicycliStS were seen darting in the di-
rection of Franklin avenue, which was
brilliantly Illuminated for the occa-
ed when some gay cavalier or knight
of old in armor went searching down
street, but when they remembered the
merchants big parade they did not
shoot. The scene on Franklin was an
inspiring one. Fully 1900 people had
assembled to witness the novel parade,
and the gorgeous equipment of the
riders created immense enthusiasm.
The enterprising merchants had hung
up 500 in prizes, and it was for these
that the bfcyclists had decked their
wheels with ribbons and flowers and
arrayed themselves like Solomon in
his glory.
Five mounted policemen kept the
great crowd in order and lent dignity
to the occasion. F. N. Nichols was
marshal of the evening, and w. K.
Hicks, the we'll known druggist, was
master of ceremonies. The first prize,
silllen banner, valued at S25, was won
by the Spaulding club, which turned
out 100 men strong in uniforms of radi-
ant beauty.

City.

Louis Wagner, eX-cOmmandeT-in
chief of the Grand Army of the Re
public, arrived in the city last even
ing, accompanied by his wife. Gen.
Wagner was expected in Minneapo-
lis several days ago, but he spent
some time at the head of the lakes.
The general is an earnest and con-
SlStent temperance worker, and at
tended the forty-first annual conven-
ton of the Sons of Temperance at
Cleveland last week. The general
was in Minneapolis once before, at
tending the national encampment of

this city eleven years ago this
month. The old veteran holds his

thoroughly well preserved, and APP
parently as ambitious and able as
when he commanded a division of
Pennsylvania volunteers and per-
formed service which makes him one
OF the most respected of old soldiers
today. He is a man considerably
above the average height, we'll pro-
portioned, and altogether a fine
specimen of physical manhood He
is now president of the Third Ma
tonal bank, of Philadelphia, and is
regarded as one of the best finan-
ciers in the Quaker City. Before
going into the banking business Gen.
Wagner won laurels for himself in
the able and honest manner in which
he filled the very important office of
director of the department of pub
lie works of Philadelphia.
Mr.. Wagner said that there was
scarcely doubt but what st. Paul
would be selected as the place for
the next national encampment.
The fact is" said he, that the
magnificent treatment of the G. A.
X. eleven years ago in Northwestern
territory made such an impression
on the veterans that they have pined
ever since for taste of your glo-
r1ous climate. No other city is talked
Of except ST. Paul"
In speaking Of presidential candi-
dates, Mr.. Wagner said that Gov
Hastings, of Pennsylvania, was a
strong man and would have the
backing of the keystone State. Nc

CAUGHT BY A cAvE-rN.
Nine Miners Imprisoned and Some
Thought to Re Dead.

IRON MOUNTAIN, Mich, July H.
Nine miners are imprisoned in a room
in the first level of the Pewabic mine
and the chances are that some of them
VIII be taken out dead. An immense
cave of rock and timber occurred on
the first level just as the men were
quitting work, and it is feared some Of
them were caught and crushed to
death A large rescue crew is at work
but it will be fully ten hours before
the men are reached, as at least forty
feet of broken rock, ore and timber
will have to be excavated, and this is
necessarily slow work. The accident
is similar to the one which happened
at this mine some years ago, and was
caused by the timbers giving way. It
Is impossible to learn the names of all
the entombed men, but Stephen Bow
den, Fred Webb and John Johnson are
among the number. Information has
just come from the mine to the effect
that some of the men are alive, COM
munication having been established by
hammering on the pipe which supplies
the room with air. Mine officials are
confident the men will be found I'M
injured. Five of the men are Italians,
two Cornish men and two Scandi-
naYians.

the greatest organizations Of it's KIM

Yesterday Mr.. Brooks, at the head Of
his splendid coterie of musicians, made
short parade of the principal streets
and fairly electrified the lovers of good
music. This band performance Of the
selection, 1.-THE Voyage of Columbus
and Discovery of America is very
effective. In it is described the notes
of farewell, Bon Voyage" from the
Spanish shore; the terrific wind of a
thunder storm; the rafting of chains
as the anchor is lowered the hallelu-
lah of sailors and praise service, end
ing with Hail Columbia, Happy

ton of one of Brooks great special

ments that accompany it made by the

ing. The last concert that this great

BOTH LEGS CUT OFF.
John Layman, n Teamster, Struck
by an Electric Car.

John Layman, employed as a team
ster by Meagher & Co., had both legs
cut off in a street car accident at the
corner of Sixth avenue north and Col
fax about o'clock last night, and re-
ceived other injuries which will doubt
less prove fatal. Layman attempted
to drive his loaded cart across the
street in front of the car, which struck
the rear of the wagon. Layman was
thrown from his seat and both legs
cut off. DR.. A. A. Ames happened to
be on the car, and Layman was re-
moved to neighboring livery stable

ihey Prove n Source of Contro-
Versy to Be Settled in the
Courts


Next Monday has been set aside Inv
the city board of equalization for tho
purpose of considering the matter of
assessing the shares of building and
loan associations. The matter was
brought up yesterday and CITY Attor-
hey simpson was called to particinate
In the consideration of it. The Inter
state Savings and Loan association
protests against the assessment of S55
54O for credits and personal propertv
1t was represented that the shares are
on the books of the corporation hut
the law specified that the owners
should be assessed for them. and if the
organization was also assessed the eff
fect would be a double assessment on
each share of stock. Officers of the asso-
citation also claimed that their stock
was listed a third more than that of
similar other corporations.
Opposed to this view, however. was
a report submitted by Attorney Cen
eral Childs, in which it was held that
the question should be judicially deter
mined. 81 deem it wise that the Dron
erty of the concerns be assessed
says the report. 1t is likely that the
whole question will be carried to the
supreme court, as both sides are de-
termined in their stand. j. c. Plant
was notified to appear before the board
and show cause why the assessment
OF the New England association should
not be increased. The association owns
several large buildings, but only re-
turned $1,000 personal property assess
ment.
The question of taxing franchises
comes up this morning, and, contrary
to general opinion, Assessor Plummer
does not believe it will take very long
to decide the matter, although he was
not prepared last night to outline his
plan of arriving at the approximate
or assessable value of the franchises of
the corporations to be considered.

CITY HAS A CLAIM
On the State Bank Assets. But Col
lection Is Difficult.

The recent Incarceration of Kristian
Kortgaard in the pen at Saltwater
brings to mind the fact that the city
was one of the principal creditors of
the defunct institution over which ne
presided, the State bank. The amount
due the city was $106,O0O at the time of
the bank failure, and the city attorney
was instructed to bring suit and make
this a preferred credit, if possible. The
suit was brought and the city was
beaten in the litigation that followed.
At that stage the matter was allowed
to drop. But now that Kortgaard has
been gotten rid of, something more is
likely to be done to enforce the return
of the city's money, with small chance
of getting anything out of the claim.
The claim of the state being preferred,
as established by the courts, the re-
sources of the defunct corporation will
be exhausted before the individual and
general claims are reached.
