It Did Not Occur.
The proposed prize fight between
Dannies Needham and Dick Moore did
not take place at ST. Paul, as adver-
tised. Upon order of Gov. Clough.
Needham was arrested and placed un-
der bonds. Following the arrest of
Needham by Deputy Sheriff Kinney,
the promoters of the fight got together
and decided to call off the affair. The
men could not fight in public, and as
there would be nothing in it for them
to fight in private they decided not to
fight. But this compact was not made
public, and in order to make assurance
'doubly sure, the state officials went
ahead and arrested the captains, pilots
and engineers of the boats that were
to take the people to the scene of the
battle. The men were arrested on the
strength Of allegations contained in
warrants sworn out by d. R. Noyes
and w. L. Wilson, charging the men
arrested with aiding and abetting prize
fighters, and conniving to arrange a
prize fight.
The men arrested were Capt. John
q. Smith, captain of the Oracle A.
Mower; Capt P. F. Richie, captain and
owner of the excursion steamer Daisy;
George Tilbury, engineer, and Ariah
]. Bosley, pilot of the steamer Daisy.
They were arrested on their respective
boats. On being taken to the county
Jail they were confined in the boys
ward, where they were kept behind
bars all day, despite the attempt of
friends to have them allowed the free
dom of the corridor, or to release them
from jail. Three Of the four arrested
are wealthy pioneer residents of St.
Paul. Capt. Smith is SIS years old, and
and is said to be worth in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000. Capt. Richie is IS
years old, and he is the possessor of a
fortune valued at more than $1OO, 600.
Valuable Land.
Among the pieces of land in Morrison
county appraised by the state for sale
this fall was tract Of 40 acres, upon
which a valuation of $3.50 per acre was
placed. The tract comprices 40 acres
and was appraised at $4,000. 1t being
unusual to appraise state lands so high
figure, the officials in the state audi
tors Office investigated the matter and
found that the land belonged to the
Morrison County Roller Mills Company.
On the property there are six houses
and -four mill, with capacity of $50
barrels of flour per day, being operated
by both steam and water power. The
company had allowed the interest on it
to remain unpaid until the land sale be-
came delinquent, and the land again
reverts to the state.
Game Seized.
The St. Paul game wardens made a
seizure of three large trunks full of
game coming from North Dakota and
bound for Iowa. There is a law in
North Dakota, as in Minnesota, forbid
ding the shipping the shipment of game
out of the state, and by agreement with
North Dakota officials the wardens in
Minnesota are to seize all game coming
into this state from North Dakota, the
compliment to be returned by the North
Dakota people in case of game being
sent from Minnesota. There were 11S
pieces of game in the trunks, including
everything in the bird line from Canada
geese down to snipe and teal duck.
