I'VE declare our belief that the

NEARLY MOBBED.
A Riotous Scene at . Bicycle Race In
Minneapolis.

Minneapolis. Mimi. July 7.-For q couple
Of hours Monday night this city was given
over to mob rule, and as a result many
people were injured. including several po-
licemen. The trouble arose during f.
male bicycle race. The management with
out previous announcement. raised the
price Of admission from Is cents to Il =,
and when the time for starting arrived the
star attraction. Dottie Farnsworth, the
champion woman rider Of the world, was
not visible, but was detained at her home
as result of illness. The crowd refused
to allow the race to proceed and demanded
their money back The treasurer had, how
ever, departed with the receipts, and when
this fact was ascertained the riders were
pulled bodily from their wheels, the track
was covered with tacks and broken glass
and the Office was broken into by a couple
of thousand enraged and defrauded peo-
pie.
When they discovered that there was no
money in sight they took their revenge out
by tearing UP the track, razing the grand
stand, ripping fences down. smashing sew
eral buildings into kindling wood and do
ing all the damage possible. A mob alarm
was turned in to police headquarters and
o platoon of 90 policemen was sent to the
spot. During the clearing of the grounds
several people were badly injured. includ
ing three policemen. who were struck on
the head with bricks. Finally order was
restored and the injured men were re-
moved to their homes. Action will be
taken against the management. which in
cludes several prominent people, charging
them with obtaining money under false
preteuSes.

The body of Harry Wade, porter at
Lyons hotel on Fourth street S, near
First avenue, Minneapolis, was found
in the alley at the rear of the hotel He
was partially disrobed and was dead
when found. He had evidently fallen
from the window of his room in the
third story of the building or had
leaped out with suicidal intent,
although there are no other known rea-
sons for the latter supposition than the
discovery of his dead body. Wade was
a widower. his wife having died about

News In Brief.

The boiler inspection law is preserved
intact by the decision handed down by
the supreme court. Therefore those
who have been avoiding payment of
fees will now have to ante up or take
the consequences. State Inspector John
Zelch received the news with great
Joy. as the refusal of owners of boilers
to pay his deputies has almost brought
the work as well as the income of his
Office to standstill.
Fire completely destroyed the Van
Observation-Disclosures elevator at Redwood
Falls. Some 90 bushels of wheat
and 8, 900 bushels of fax were also ru-
ined. The building cost So, 900, and the
loss is in the neighborhood of S15,000
The supreme court decision in the
quo warranto proceedings of ex-Mayor
Lewis VS.. DR.. barrow, declares the
Fourth ward illegally created and OAR
rows election void at Moorhead.
The Noah Adams sawmill at Ground

The fire originated in the engine room,

A New Party.

The National party is to be organized
in this state, and if the conditions are
such that it is required state ticket
will be put into the field. This new
movement is the silver branch of the
Prohibition party, which has bolted the
national organization. At the conven-
ton at Pittsburg the gold and silver
factions had bitter struggle, resulting
in the silver men boiling and putting
forth a platform in favor of silver, pro-
hibition and woman suffrage as the
principal issues. John P. St John
came this state several days ago with
the special intention of starting the
new party, and meeting was called
for that purpose.

W. S. Evans, cashier of the Sher-
bonrn county bank. at Big Lake, was
given the chance Of placing 5000 worth
Of good securities in the hands of the
United States marshal as guarantee for
his presence in the federal courts when
needed. The doleful tale told by the
complaining witness showed that Mr..
Evans in his capacity of cashier had
taken the liberty of dunning Dawson
On a postal card, an action which this
gentleman naturally resented. Fortu-
nately for him, but unfortunately for
Mr.. Evans, the laws of the United
States are very strict on this point, and

plant lodged by Dawson. Mr.. Evans
was held over to the grand jury, which

Land Filings.

The United States land office records
at Crookston show a total of 1864 FL
ings of homestead tracts on Red Lake
reservation dnring the month and .
half since in reservation opened This
by no means represents the actual
number of filings which have been ten

large number offered under the timber

course been refused. Many of these
were upon the lands in the disputed
strip along the southwestern boundary
where the line has been questioned.
Then, too, hundreds of filings have
been offered upon tracts of land which
had been previously claimed. and the
disappointed ones have not made sec
