ANOTHER EXPEDITION.

There were quite number of Indians,
that claimed to be friendly, who were per-
mitted to stay at the fort that Winter.
Among them was the young Blackfoot
guide who had been so badly wounded
in the Bad Lands. He had nearly re-
covered by this time, physically, but he
retained bitter feeling toward those he
held responsible for his injury. He fire.
ouently came to me, and, placing his
hand over the wound, would say: 1t
hurts me- Toward Spring the Indians
at the fort packed up and started out
on a hunting expedition in an easterly
direction.
Some time after one of the Indians
returned to the fort and reported that
they had captured three hostile Indians,
and had them in their camp. Maj.
House sent out some 30 soldiers, accom-
panied by the Blackfoot guide, to get
the three Indians and bring them into
the fort The detail returned in a few
days with the Indians, who were put
in the guardhouse. The boys said they
had to watch both the hostiles and the
Blackfoot guide, who seemed determined
to kill the three Indians, if he got an
opportunity. The camp of the friendly
Indians, where the soldiers had secured
THE THREE HosTILEs,
was some 20 miles east or northeast of
Fort Sully, on Turtle Greek, in small,
natural, amphitheatrical valley, contain
ing beautiful grove Of timber, which
had been protected from prairie fires by
the surrounding high bluffs. From the
general description then obtained from
the boys and recent observations, have
concluded the Indian camp was at the
exact place where ST. Lawrence now
stands.
Later events, of course, have occas-
Toned me much regret that / did not ac-
company the detail of soldiers, who must
have viewed this locality in all its weird
vastness. But at that time / had little
expectation of some time making this
my home.
As Winter passed away another expe-
dition to the north was talked of for the
Summer. Nothing of particular inter
est transpired, however, until about the
1st of June, when the monotony was
broken by the arrival of four rebel COM
panies. These rebel soldiers had been

To make room for these soldiers our
company was sent out to camp On the

dispatches TO and from the expedition.
A regular stage line connected Fort
Randall with civilization, but from there
ali mail matter was taken up to Forts
Thompson, Sully, and on up the river by
soldiers. The expedition had been gone
some little time before dispatches began
arriving for us to go on TO the command
When dispatch came to Fort Randall
a detail Of two or three soldiers took it
to Fort Thompson, then others brought
1t TO Sully, where they were relieved,
and five of our boys sent on with the

As soon as a dispatch left our camp
five more soldiers were at once detailed
TO be in readiness for the next one, which
might arrive in "a hours, or perhaps not
for week or two.

DANGERS OF ELECTRICITY.
w. H. Merrill, an Expert, VIII Dis
cuss the Subject

Next Wednesday evening w. Ell.
Merrill Jr., of Chicago, chief electri-
clan of the National Board of Fire I'm
derwrters, will deliver lecture at
. the rooms of the Commercial club
upon the dangers of electricity as a
fire hazard, and the proper method of
controlling it. Mr. Merrill will &C
companyt1his lecture with practical
demonstrations, having provided him
self with apparatus for that purpose.
In addition to the Commercial club,
the Jobbers' union, chamber of COM
merce, city council, architects and
contractors and builders have been in
vited to be present, that the subject
may be presented to an audience
which will readily appreciate it's prac-
ticability, and the early necessity for
municipal action concerning it. Elec-
tricity is now regarded by fire insur-
ance companies as their greatest en-
envy. The annual fire waste in the
United States has grown from, ap-
proximately $5O,OO0,O0O to $3.50, 100000
since this agency has been introduced
for illuminating and power purposes
While the natural growth of the coun-
try has been large, it has not proper
tionately kept pace with this enor-
nous waste.
Buildings formerly regarded as fire
proof, burn in the most unaccounta-
BILE manner. Risks formerly consid-
cred the most desirable, have in the
light Of late experience, proven to be
the most improbable. Experts are of
the opinion that this condition has
been largely assisted by defective in
sulation of electric wires and appara-
tus. 1t is admitted that this hidden
force and danger can be rendered
harmless, and when properly har-
messed has no superior.
Mr.. Merrill may touch upon electro
lysis, or the danger to water pipes by
decomposition from the action of troll
ley wire currents, having a ground
return and not a metallic circuit 1T
is claimed that the time is ripe for
municipal control and inspection of
electrical works, as a business pr5po-
sition in the possible preservation Of
the city from c6nflagraticn, as we'll
as protection to human life from poor
ly protected overhanging wires.
AS a matter of information it is
said this lecture will be worth attend
ing. Following the line of action
adopted by the Commercial club to
present matters of Importance to the
city, this has been taken up, and every
business man, property owner, builder
architect, and, in fact, every citizen
is expected to take advantage of the
knowledge to be derived from this lee
ture The club, expects all citizens,
club members and Others to give the
time for one evening to receive this
benefit and encourage the club in its
work for the welfare of the city

GRANTS A NEW TRIAL.
Judge BriIFs Important Ruling ON
Street Cars and Funerals.

Judge Brill yesterday filed an order
granting the motion Of the defendant
for new trial in the personal injury
damage suits of Theodore H. Johnson
and Sarah S. Johnson against the st.
Paul City Railway company. These
suits grew out of a collision between
Johnson's carriage and a street car at
the corner of Broadway and Eighth
street last spring. The carriage was
being driven in funeral procession
that was crossing Broadway, and the
motorman attempted to run the car
across the procession, with the result
that the carriage was smashed and
Mrs. Johnson, the mother of the first
named plaintiff, seriously injured. The
case was submitted to the jury on the
theory that the city ordinance provid-
ing that professions shall have the
right of way applied. But Judge
Brill has changed his mind as
to this, and it is for this rea-
son that he grants the new trial. In
the memorandum attached to the or
der, the court says: (s----- --''s- =
After further consideration of the question
| have come to the Conclusion that section
6 of the ordinance of 1863, relating to fast
riding and driving of horses in the streets,
does not apply to the operation of street
cars At the time the ordinance was passed
street cars were not in use in the city, and
the ordinance was intended to apply to such
vehicles as are driven about the streets and
may be moved from place 10 place at the
will Of the driver. The person in charge
of an electric car does not drive the car in
the ordinary acceptation of the word.
Professions upon the street sometimes are
of great length. and occupy considerable
period Of time in passing a given point ten
thirty, forty minutes, or hour or more.
An ordinary loose vehicle can turn aside
and proceed upon another street without much
inconvenience. A street car is a public con-
veyance for the transportation of passengers
1t proceeds upon fixed track, and could do
nothing but wait whatever the time might
be- and such a rule would greatly incon
venience the public The interruption to
a procession by the passage of a car would
at most be slight, and frequently there are
breaks in a procession through which the
car might pass without interrupting the prog
ress of the procession at all.
Of course, without an ordinance the street
car has no greater right of passage than
the persons in the procession. The company
is liable for negligence the same es in any
other case, but these cases were tried and SUBJ
mitted to the jury on the theory that the
ordinance gave the procession she right of
way, and that to run the through the
procession was negligence per Sc, and hence
there must be a new trial without regard to
whether, aside from the ordinance there was
sufficient evidence to sustain the finding of
negligence upon the part Of the defend
ant"

X. OF p. INSTALLATIONS.
Liberty Lodge ,Entertains It's Nom
bers and Friends.

Liberty Lodge No. 1877 knights of Pythias,
one of the youngest but most fourishing
Pythian lodges in the city, last evening pub
licly installed it's officers for the present year.
The installation ceremonies, conducted by
the grand officers Of the order, was witnessed
by nearly every member of the lodge and a
large number of their friends. The officers
installed were: G. c., Dr. D. G. Jones; V. c.,
J. A. Logeman; P. P. G. Petersen; K. R. S.,
Aug Engquist M. F., F. A. Lyon; M. E.,
Otto Bremen; M. W., Edward Peterson; I. g.,
Swan Stomm; o. G., ]. w. Mahar.
Following the installation exercises a par
ticularly entertaining musical and literary
programme was rendered, to the appreciative
gathering. The lodge quartette, consisting of
Messrs. Nilsson, Zenzius, DAM and Souche-
ray, were several times encored for their
pleasing selections, while the Rotations Of
A. G. johnson and Charles Fairchild received
the heartiest applause, as did the respective
solos of Messrs. Zenzius and Nilsson. George
DAM concluded the programme with a violin
solo, when Judge Orr, F. E. Wheaton, of Min
neapolis, and Col. Milham were called upon
for brief remarks. The members and guests
concluded the evenings entertainment over
a choice spread and cigars, which were served
in the dining room adjoining the lodge room.

pork, $3.50 for some more, and two
of the hogs were worth still less.
Lieut.. Pendy testified to having exam
ined the figures marked on all the
hogs when he found them, and that
they all corresponded with those on
the slip Of paper. Stoffel explained
that two men had brought the pork to
his shop and the man representing
himself to be the owner said he lived
at Snow lake. Stoffel bought the load
for se5, paying therefor in cash. When
the pretended farmer got his money,
he extended a cordial invitation to
Stoffel to come out to Snow lake next
summer and spend a week with him.
Justice Rodger gave judgment for
s91 against Stoffel, sS0.16 for the pork
and the remainder for costs, so it is
probable Stoffel would not wait till
summer to call on "Mr. Farmer" If
he were sure Of finding him within
reasonable distance of the city. He
does not seem to be able to give any
definite description of the two men,
however.

Keeps SHOP at the corner of Edmund
street and Western avenue, $500 for a.
load OF hogs stolen from him and sold
to the defendant.
On Dec. 10 johnson brought to Min
neapoiis ten dead hogs. Not dispos-
ing of them the afternoon he brought
them in, he put up at a hotel for the
night, placing the load in the harm
IN which he put his team. Next morn
ing When Johnson got up, he discov-
ered that his team, vehicle, hogs and
all were missing, having been stolen
from the barn during the night. After
considerable search, the team was
found hitched to post on University
avenue in the vicinity of Mackubin
street. The wagon was there also. but
minus the pork.
1t SO happened that Johnson had
weighed each hog at home before TAX
Ing them to market, and had marked
the weight on each one with a pen
Gil, In addition to entering it on a.
piece of paper. This slip Of paper he
turned over to the police at the Rondo
street station, and with such conyen-
lent means of Identification, Lieut..

dead swine in Stoffel's shop. The
weights corresponded exactly with the
figures on the paper, and there was no
getting away from the fact that they

sisted that he had purchased the load

and that thew could not possibly be
the same hogs. There must be some
mistake, and he refused to give them
up. A writ of replevin was sworn out,
but when the constable called to serve
1t, the hogs were cut up. Some one
had also taken the precaution to cut
off the pencil marks denoting the
weight Of each hog and a crooked leg
that was on one of the carcasses had
been removed. The owner then sued
Stoffel to recover for the value Of the
pork, and the case came up In JUS

MAY TURN 1T DOWN.
Legislature May Undo the Work of
the HOsDital Commission

1t is intimated that the Hastings
Anoka insane hospital imbroglio may
result in legislative interference, re-
viewing the work of the commission
just finished, and settling the location,
perhaps, without regard to the decis-
ion of the commission. The pretext
for this Is the widespread feeling that
one or more members OF the commits
sion were influenced in voting by i'm
proper motives.
The present status of the contest is
unchanged from Tuesday. Attorney
General Childs is not making haste TO
settle the matter, and it is likely that
before passing upon the question re-
ferred to him by State Treasurer
Koerner, he will await the issue of the
proceedings now pending in Judge
Brill's court. This will not seriously
delay matters, as the case will be set
for tomorrow unless the Anoka people
ask a delay.
