Ladies' Bicycle Race in Minnenpoli
EnGs IN n EuRfOua Hint

Ladies' Bicycle Race in Minneapolis
Ends in a Furious Riot.
Minneapolis, July 8.-The ladies' SIX
day bicycle race at Normanna track
scame to an inglorious end last night in
q riot. The affair started when the
management attempted to start the
race without Dottle Farnswort,, Dot
tie was sick and could not appear On
the track. The management made no
announcement of that fact. although. q
crowd of 1000 people had assembled
to see the finish between Tillie Ander-
son and Dottie. The management
sought to hoodwink the crowd by start
ing the race as If nothing were WRONG.
crowd arose as II man, and sWarMed
down onto the track. The race was
stopped in q moment. and the crowd
began to make things hum. and in a
few minutes pandemonium reigned.
complete and all was riot, disorder and
confusion. The managers seeing the
danger afar, took hasty fight. Several.
police officers were immediately sum-
moned, but were powerless to do any.
thing with the infuriated mob. They
arrested three men hut were compelled
to give them up to the crowd again.
The mob began to tear. Zip. the track
aud to batter down the fence and then
assailed the box Office. Finally, in the
hope of making peace. one Of the at
tendants was sent to the box office to
give out checks good for tonight. when
Dottie would appear against Tillie in
the final heat. This appeased the
crowds anger but little, however, al
though every man Of the outfit got a
grand stand seat for tonight. Several
n were injured by the police, but
none seriously.

A Grain Decision

A case of general and local interest In
the grain trade has just been decided in
the Ramsey county court. The plaintiff
was the Farmers Warehouse association
of Medelia, Mimi. and Woodward l. Co,
of Minneapolis were the defendants. The
plaintiff company incurred losses in fu-
ture trading in both Chicago and Mime
apolis markets. The plaintiff claims the
manager had no authority to make such
trades. that even if he did they were
gambling transactions, and losses so in
cured could not be set off against the
proceeds received from the sale OF grain.
1t appeared the manager had sole charge
of the business for years, and In all
transactions made on the floor of the
Chamber Of Commerce Of Minneapolis
that the actual delivery of the grain was
contemplated, and that the purchase and
sale Of grain for future delivery, either
there or in Chicago, was a contract which
could be enforced the same as any other.
The public is apt to confuse the trading
with bucket shops (Which do not handle
any actual grain) with reputable houses
which do business on the various ex-
changes, and the result is frequently ex-
pcnsive litigation and heavy losses to the
outside trade in addition to those made
on the board of trade. This case lasted
seven days, with able attorneys on both
sides. 1t resulted in Il verdict for defend
ant in every point in controversy.
