swept over the Green Fay region. He
was engaged in towing logs to one of the
small mills on the west shore of this
peninsula. being somewhat of a hermit
having given up sailing. He has not
been seen for couple of weeks which

wheat Received at Superior Under the
Minnesota Inspection.

West Superior, Wis, Oct. 9:Ispe-
cial 1.-The Globe elevator system con-
timed to receive wheat this morning
under Minnesota inspection by weighmen
furnished by the Duluth board OF trade.
Fifteen cars came last night and twenty
more today. .
The Superior board sent down 1T, it's Re rep
resentative to inspect the plant, but they
were elected from the building and the
Minnesota officials are in full control.
The threatened arrests have not yet
taken place. but are liable to at any
time. Secretary Atkinson of the board
of trade states that he board has asked 81 e.
it's attorney for an opinion upon their
rights and it is probable that they will
request District Attorney Sloan to pro-
tect them by state aid.
1t is given out by the Globe people
that they intend to receive wheat until
they get all they want and it is reported
that they are backed by syndicate of
elevator interests who are not adverse
to making test case. If it is demon
strated that the Superior board is power
less the terminal and Belt Line plants
will start within few days.

INSPECTION ROW SETTLED.
Duluth is to Give Superior Credit for the
Latter's Receipts.

Duluth, Mimi, Oct 1O.-[Special.l-
The war between the Duluth and Su-
perior boards of trade over the inspec-
ton matter is believed to be practically
settled The retaliatory measures adopt
ed by the Duluth board brought matters
to focus. This afternoon a meeting of
the Duluth board was held and e. J..
Phelps of Minneapolis of the Belt Line
Elevator company appeared on be-
half of the Superior board and
agreed that if the Duluth peo-
pie would give Superior credit for the
receipts in the houses over there they
would call off the fight The proposition
means that Daluth in sending out statis-
tics of receipts and shipments, shall give
separately the amount received at the
two places. The concession is not a
hard one for the Duluth board to make
and it was agreed to do it on condition
that the Superior board give its sanction
to this. This thing was left because
Mr.. Phelps represented only a committee
from the Superior board and not the full
board There is little doubt but that
the proposition will be accepted.

Sheboygan, Wis, Oct. S.-[Special.] J.
another fight on it's hands in reference
to the tax levy for 1897. Mayor Brown
is particularly anxious that his admin
istration should have some sort of a
monument to mark it in time hereafter
and has decided upon central fire sta
ton to cost at least $4,000. He has en-
listed Aid Wedell in his aid, and until
the assistance of one or two more of the
city fathers will endeavor to increase the
tax levy in order to get an amount suf-
ficient to do the work. Besides this
there will be an effort to increase the
levy for school purposes one MILL in or
der to provide a sinking fund for the
erection OF a Fifth ward school building
next year. These two items together
will make the total levy pretty large
considering the times, and naturally
there is much opposition. The majority
of the taxpayers believe that the erec-
ton of central fire station should be
postponed until the city commences the
erection of its contemplated city hall,
and then provide quarters for the fire
department along with the other mu-
nicipal departments in the new building.
The scheme is to bond the city for $780,
600 to $4,000 for this purpose. This
course would prevent the erection of the
building while Mr.. Brown is mayor.
Aid. Wedell at a recent meeting of the
common council introduced an amend
ment to the city comptroller's net esti-
mate for the levy, increasing it to pro-
vide the necessary $4,000 mentioned
above. The matter was referred to the
finance committee, which reported
against it, This is about the way the
people feel. but Mayor Brown has Sc
cured enough votes to make the matter
close and the contest bids fair to be

is now believed that Erick Moen, the
young farmer found dead in the road
way a few miles east of this city Fri
day morning, and who was supposed to
have been killed in runaway, was
murdered. While his body had been
dragged over half a mile, the back of
his head was smashed in as though
by some instrument, and it is said in
such manner as could not have resulted
from his being dragged. A coroner's
jury is holding an inquest today.
Rewards oggregating $500, $500 each
by the city. county and state have been
offered for evidence which will convict
the murderer of Gus Peterson, the Wind
sor horseman, whose body was found in
a trench here Wednesday. George
Ayers, the young man who was held on
suspicion, got free on habeas corpus pro-
ceedings yesterday afternoon.
The coroner's jury returned verdict
of accidental death. They found fallen
tree in the path of the runaway over
which Mems body was dragged, and it
is believed his skull was crushed by
striking the tree.
