NEW CITY ASSESSMENT.
Plan to Meet the Expense Is Agreed
Upon.

Upon.
Half a dozen members of the citi
zenS committee met with the board of
county commissioners yesterday fore
noon, and had a long discussion on the
question Of making a new assessment
of property in the city. The committee
was headed by William P. Murray, and
with him were Messrs. Fairchild, Mid
dleton, Ludden, Berkey and O. L. Tay-
lor. All the commissioners were pres
ent, as was also County Attorney
Butler. Mr.. Murray presented the re-
port that was made to the chamber of
commerce at its last meeting in which
an estimate was made that it would re-
quire something over $4,000 to defray
the expense of making the new as
SeSSment
The question was how this amount
could be provided for Mr.. Murray
was of the opinion that the allowance
to the assessor could not be increased,
but Mayor Smith thought the assessor
had no stated salary. Mr.. Butler took
the same ground as did Mr. Murray,
holding that the allowance to the as
SCISSOR could not exceed $11 500 a year.
He suggested, however, that additional
men might be employed and paid for
by the board of county commissioners
instead of making an allowance to the
assessor.
This suggestion seemed to meet with
the approval of the board, and after
some further discussion the matter
was referred to the county attorney
with request that he make a formal
report on it at the meeting of the board
Monday.
Commissioners Kallerman, Wright
and Moritz were added to the citizens
committee.
County Auditor Sullivan called the
attention of the board to the fact that
the insurance on the county Jail had
about expired The amount of the old
policies was $4,000, but the board
thought $4,000 would be sufficient.

MIR. DARRAGH EXPLAINS
Why Woman Was Released From
the Central Sfafi0n

;. Some dissatisfaction was expressed in po-
lice circles yesterday over the non-appear-
ance in the municipal court of Grace Dewitt,
a young woman arrested by Officer O'Neil.
Wednesday night, on the charge of disorderly
conduct. The woman was taken to the CEN
tral station at the time of her arrest but
was released yesterday morning it is
claimed, at the request of Corporation At
torney Darragh, who is said to have declared
ne would be responsible for her appearance
Mr.. Darragh was asked concerning the SEEM
ing arbitrary release of a police prisoner.
and stated that the woman had been in his
office all yesterday morning waiting for her
trial to be called. and could be produced in
court whenever desired.
This case was continued at my request ,"
said Mr. Darragh, that this woman, whom
| never saw before might stand her trial
L only interfered in the matter at the request
OF city official, who drove up to my house
the night the woman was arrested and asked
as particular favor that she be released
until her trial. He guaranteed she would
be present in court and as a matter of fact
she was that is, she was in my office, as a.
further favor to the city official, simply to
avoid the crowd in the court room. l am
told the officer who arrested her was not
present to prefer charges, and as far as l
can learn. her case was not even called 1t
was, as 1 say, continued, and the woman
will be in court the same as any prisoner
when the time comes for her trial.

DROPPED HIS SUIT.
COnsiSnor of Unreasonable Game
Was Backed Down.


The state game and fish commission
has won another victory. A. w.
Schmidt, of Devils Lake, one of whose
consignments through this state was
recently seized by the Minnesota COM
mission while it was in the possession
of the Great Northern Express COM
pany, sued the express company to
recover. The game and fish commits
sion stood by the express company in
fighting the suit. and when the at
torney for the plaintiff found that the
case was likely to be vigorously con-
tested the action was dropped, and
both commission and express company
are now out of the woods.
There is promise of another &C
tion of the same kind from Grants
burgh, Wis, where the ST. Paul &
Duluth has been sued. It is likely
that contest will be made here also,
the theory being that contrabrand
goods may not be made the basis of
such an action.

James Flanagans suit to recover from the
ST. Paul City Railway company 81 030 dam
ages for being run into by street car was
given to the jury in Judge Egans court last
evening, with instructions to return a sealed

last. Flanagan is hack driver and he was
proceeding along West Seventh street, be-
yond seven corners, when ne saw a car ap-
preaching him at high rate of speed He
was on the left hand side of the street and
started to drive across in front of the car
He claims he did this for the reason that he
did not have sufficient room on the side on
which he was to let the pass. The car
struck his hack, smashing it and injuring
Flanagan so that he was laid up twelve days
The company claims FlanaeRn is responsible
for the accident himself.
