ECHO OF AN EXCURSION.
Saturday Night Outing That De-
veIOped u Free Fight


Nick ConZen was arrested last evening NV
Detective Murnane on a warrant charging
him with assault and battery. The Complain
ing witness is w. R. Givens. who alleges
that Conzen and Putney Smith assaulted him
on the night of July rs.
The arrest grows out of an outing given
by the Jolly Fellows last Saturday night.
Inc me crowd went on an excursion down the
river and all OF those who had the misfor-
tune to participate say the affair was
the Warmest thing that ever happened or
words to that effect. There were about 100
persons on board, including score of
women. One wagonload of beer and one small
case OF pop were taken on board as lunch
ana as only half a dozen bottles of the Don
t mere 9runk, ana all of the beer consumed,
tne inference is that none of the party went
thirsty. One of the crew of the steamer. in
speaking or the excursion yesterday said the
CROWD warmed up as soon as the boat left
the landing, and kept it up until they came
back Givens attempted to make peace be-
tween woman and her husband and was
mt blow in the face for his interference.
In1S started the row, and each person hit
the one standing next TO him lust for the finn
OF the thing. Givens claims that there were
knives and brass knuckles used and the
looks OF MS race yesterday bore out the al
legation Just how he picked out the two
men as being the ones who assaulted him
VIII probably be explained in the police court
this morning. Joseph Hurley and Peter OIL

derby conduct. Hurley went to the work

the marks of punishment on his face was
discharged. A young fellow who took part
IN the excursion has hit on plan by which
ne expects to make quite a chunk of money
the next time the organization gives another
sociable His scheme is to take a number
OF water bicycles. tie them to the end of the
barge and rent them to those who desire to
leave the boat at 50 each. Speaking of the
idea Yesterday. he said if he had been hooked
up with the bicycles on Saturday night he
could have realized enough to keep him from
working for the next year.

Arrangements for the Big Labor Day

The Labor Day picnic and parade this year
promises to eclipse all previous efforts 1t
mas been definitely decided to hold the picnic
at White Bear Lake and the committee having
the matter in charge will spare no exertion
look back to with pride. 1t is proposed to Sc
cure the best speakers in the Northwest and
a radical departure will be made this year on
the subjects to be discussed Probably no
class OF people are more interested in the af-
1alrs OF this country than the laboring people
and no citizens of the United States
wish to be enlightened on the vital questions
OF the day any more than they do If the
prosperity Of the people depends on a gold
standard, they desire facts and figures to
prove it. II silver is the panacea they want
to have 1t demonstrated beyond a doubt. At
a recent meeting of the trades and labor as

was thought best to invite a discussion. or

tered into judgment in 1898, and that
IN an action brought by Mr.. Libbey,
Judge Brill had decided that the judg-
ment was void, owing to a clerical err
ror In the office of the clerk of courts,
whereby the date had been omitted
from the record, Mr.. Butler said that
this decision would also affect all other
tax judgmentsaof that year.

the county and recover the amount paid
with interest at the amount of 10 per

may be effected between Mr.. Libbey

appeared before the board to ask If
there was any way of collecting their

the contractor still owed other claims
on the work which he was unable to
pay. The county attorney advised the

could recover would be to bring suit
against Huebner's bondsmen.

ED TO PUT A STOP TO THE
SPORT.
YOUNG LAND AND WATER FOWL
ARE RUTHLESSLY SLAUGHTERED
BY ALLEGED sPORTsMEN IN
PRAIRIE COUNTIES.
MINNEsoTA's FEATHERED GAME
Is to BE Given Special Protection
Between Now and the First of
September.

Executive Agent Fullerton, Of the
terday announced the appointment Of
a batch Of Is special deputy game
wardens to serve from now until the
LIST Of September. The names, however,
are not given out for publication, on
account of the special nature of the
work assigned the new men.
For several days the game and fish
commission has been deluged with COM
plants concerning the slaughter Of
helpless young chickens and ducks by
alleged sportsmen in various counties.
The complaints are especially numerous
from Anoka county, Twin City resi-
dents spending the Sabbath in the in
discriminate slaughter Of the birds.
The young chickens and ducks are at
presc.t hardly bigger than the fist Of
an ordinary man, and the killing is
anything but sport. Residents Of Polk
county, around Crookston, of Stevens
county, near Morris, and Of Mobiles
county, near Worthington, have also
pointed to serve in each of these vicini-
ties until the opening OF the game
season the first Of September.
Mr.. Fullerton states that the depart
ment is going to protect the young
birds until the opening of the shooting
season if it becomes necessary to ap-
point a warden at every crossroads
in the state. The prairie districts seem
to be overrun with a horde of use
less blood-spillers who have neither
respect for the law nor love for true
sport. The birds at their present stage
are about as good marks as tin ducks
and it does not require much of a
sportsman to massacre them in scores.
The thing must and will be stopped.
The commission will continue in the
appointment Of Wardens- until every
acre of land where the birds have been
breeding has been protected by
warden.

Aim of the Free Silver Democrats
of st. Paul.
F. A. Pike, r. l.. Nelson and r. r..
Kane were the orators at the meeting
or the Central Bryan and Sewall Dem
ocratic club last night. Between fifty
ana sixty men were present and, With
half dozen exceptions, they were all
young men. Reports from the wards
indicated that the ward clubs are or
ganizfng to carry the Democratic pri-
maries on Saturday evening Every
committeeman was cautioned to see to
1t that voters favorable to the Chicago
ticket and platform go to the polls to
cast their votes for delegates who will
nominate a free silver state ticket.
No report was received from the
First ward, and, to make sure that it
snail be taken care of, a special COM
mittee was named to assist the ward
committeeman. The special committee
consists Of o. H. O'Neill, John E..
Hearn, DR.. Buckley and Fred l.. Mel
son. To look after the silver interests
in the country the chair named Charles
f. McCarron, John Melrose and Gen. r.
w. Johnson The Tenth ward prim-
aries will be cared for by A. Fleming,
Dan Baker and Pat Gleason.
In addition to the gentlemen named
who spoke somewhat at length on the
need for the exercise of non-partisan
patriotism to elect the Bryan-Sewall
ticket, President Caldwell, T. J. Nc
Dermott, John e. Hearn, T. D. O'Brien
and III. H. Fuller made brief addresses.
Mr.. McDermott reported that he has
information which shows that some of
the most popular Democratic leaders in
the state cannot be elected as delegates
to the state convention because they
are not In sympathy with the Chicago
ticket !,
Mr. Hearn expressed the opinion that
the Democrats Of ST. Paul are prac-
tically unanimous for free silver, and
all that is necessary to be done Satur-
day is to make a personal effort to get
men to go to the polls and vote for free
silver delegates
Judge Nelson Grated in his usual
eloquent, mellifiuous manner, on the
earnestness and unselfishness of the
free silver advocates.
The addresses Of Messrs. Pike and
Kane took the ground that unless Bry-
an and Sewall shall be elected and a.
free coinage law enacted, there will be
a continual grinding down of the
masses, by plutocracy, that will crush
out every feeling which underlies good
citizenship. They were especially fear
full that the workingman is to get the
worst of life more and more every day
1t the present monetary standard is
maintained.
When the club adjourned it was to
meet at the call Of the president.

Patrolman John Lawton, an old and eff

charged yesterday, and, as the orders issued
service" Lawton was appointed a patrol
man Aug. g. 1884, and during his twelve
years service in the department has been
one of the most trusty and capable men on
the force. Recently a charge was made
aaginst him. the first since his appointment
charging him with ungentlemanly conduct in
making an arrest. The affair was investi-
gated by the mayor, but the evidence failed
TO snow that Lawton had exceeded his au-
thority in making the arrest. Yesterday aft
ernoon ne was summoned to the mayors Of
nee and requested to resign. The reason
given was that his superior officers had pre-
ferred charges against him for general in
competency. Lawton refused to sign the res

less something more specific was alleged and
proven. The result was that he was told
to consider himself discharged for the good
