Professor Gentry's dog and pony show
is spending several days here and Is keep
ing the small boys flied up with enthu-
siastic admiration. The show is decided
ly the best of the kind on the road, and
the antics that the trainers make the lit

visit from the Lees, the wonderful mes
meriStS. They are playing an engage
ment at McDonald's, and are filling the

ton of the day here. Among the other

he was an appointee of the Cleveland ad-

good many former Cleveland men are
disguised at the rank anti-democratic

Railroad for Rainy Lake.

The cheering news that Mr.. Giesen
brings with him is that American
and Canadian capitalists-the leading
spirits being in Pittsburg, Pa.-are
now busily at work planning for the
immediate extension of the Port
Arthur, Duluth and Western railway
through the Seine river gold fields,
down the Rainy river and on to
Winnipeg, and that the road will be
in operation by the fall of 1897. The
Canadian government has already
appropriated $4,000 per mile to aid in
the work, but the projectors want
$4,000 per mile, and when that is
granted, as it is believed it will be,
the work of construction will begin
at once. The one great need of the
country is railroad facilities, and
with such valuable aid, the Rainy
lake gold fields will forge ahead in a
way that will be unparalleled in the
history of mining regions. The age
regions are now in the domain of fact.
And all that is needed to make this
region one of the most wealthy and
populous regions of the American
continent is railroads and money to
begin the work of development of our
gold mines. In other words if capital
lists will press the butten" with
money, the gold fields twill do the
rest" and new crop of lucky million
aires will result. Are you. dear
reader, to be one of the fortunate
ones? Let us tell you that you will
not be Rainy lake millionaire unless
you catch on to the opportunities
lying loose around here before the
coming boom sends prices out of reach
of poor people into the hands of the
mighty in wealth.-Rainy Lake

HEYNEMAN ASSAULTED.
He Was Struck Repeatedly by +. COOK
Caldwell in Judge Sanderson's
Courtroom Yesterday.

Attorney A. Heyneman is having con-
siderable trouble in regard to the suit OF
Zalisky against Newman. Zalisky claims
$50 900 damages for the alienation OF his
wife's affections.
Mr.. Heyneman is Newman's legal rep
resentative, and last Wednesday in Judge
Sanderson's court made a remark to the
effect that the suit is case of blackmail.
This aspersion was instantly resented
by Reel Terry. one of Zalisky's attorneys.
He struck at Mr.. Heyneman, but missed,
and the trouble was stopped by the bailiff.
Yesterday was the time for resuming
the taking of depositions, and Attorney +.
Cook Cald well went to Judge Sanderson's
courtroom to participate in the examina-
ton, being associated with Mr.. Terry as
counsel for Zalisky.
Before court was called to order Mr..
Cald well and Mr.. Heyneman engaged in
a dispute, and Mr.. Caldwell struck Mr..
Heyneman in the face several times,
causing his nose to bleed freely. Mr.. Hey
neman quickly left the courtroom and the
case was continued to Monday.
Mr.. Caldwell explained by saying that
Mr.. Heyneman had called him liar and
a coward.
Mr.. Heyneman's version of the affair
is as follows:
The San Francisco call., 1896-11-28

The deposition was postponed until this
morning at 10 o'clock. l was on time at that
hour and was sitting in large arm chair on
the platform of Judge Sanderson's courtroom,
reading newspaper.
Suddenly Attorney Caldwell stepped in
front of me and said: Ibid yon mean that
statement you made in court on MondayT
told him most assuredly did, and that any
state ment made in a courtroom was respon-
sible for.
Without word of warning ana while
was sitting with my hands engaged he struck
me in the face, and be fore could even protect
myself he struck me again.
told him 1 CO nsidered il q most cowa rdIy
and brutal assault and that none but des-
perado would attack man in the position
was in. He then attempted to strike me agai n,
but missed. He is all immense man, weighing
about 24O pounds, while l am very small in
comparison
After giving his version of the fracas
MIR. Heyneman dilated upon the case to
the extent of explaining why he consid
cred himself warranted from the evidence
in declaring the case in question to be one
of ackmail.
He said he had gone privately to Attor-
nev Reel B. Terry's office and told him it
was simply an instance OF blackmail and
that he (Terry) would soon be sorry that
he had ever permitted his name to be con-
nected with it.
No arrests have been made, but it is un-
derstood that Chief Crowley has promised
to send ten policemen armed to the teeth
into Judge Sanderson's courtroom next
Monday to assist in keeping the peace.
