Only Waiting.

Duluth News-Tribune: Let it be
stated that Judge Morris has no
thought of declining Mr.. Iowne's
proposition to a joint debate. Nor
has the News-Tribune ever said or
intimated that he would. Judge
Morris naturally wants to know
whether Towne is going to be the
candidate of the free silver people,
the Populists or the Democrats,
whether he is a free trader or a pro-
tectionist, and how he stands on all
the issues. Mr.. TOwne has changed
his views so frequently that Judge
Morris should not be criticised for
taking little time at least to as
certain Just where his opponent
stands. Mr.. Towne has been 80 busy
OF late as the greatest convention
attendant in history that his friends
here are patiently waiting the time
when the conventions of all the
many political parties are ended and
they can get chance to talk with
him about his plans. He has no
better friend than his Opponent. and
therefore when Mr.. Towne returns
to Duluth in August, at which time
it is supposed the convention season
will have closed, then the matter
will no doubt be amacably adjusted
tosthe entire satisfaction Of boil,
gentlemen.

Is a GoOd Sprinter.

A river driver named George Bur-
bank created quite a sensation ON
the streets Saturday, he thinking that
in order IT, save his time rhtck TINT
1T was necessary to DO so. t%
The story of the man is that an
other river driver named McClickeft
had told him that he knew where he
(McClickett) could get Burbank
time check ON james Muncy raAhed.
According he gave the check to him.
McClickett took the check to- Jake
Burton. it Is said, aid Secured $1O
on 1t and disappeared. Burbank
learned where his time check was,
and instead OF taking action
at law to recover it, went to
Burton, and on some protest got
hold 81 the check and made a dash
down Broadway to the American
house. where he handed the check
over TO the proprietor in payment
for his board. Burton asked Chief
ni Police Roy to arrest Burbank. but
the conclusion that he had no right,
to do So, for the time check had not
been endorsed by Burbank, and II:
the opinion of the officer, Burbank
was entitled to the possession OF it,
though he did not take the proper
course to recover it.
Burton swore out u warrant for
Burbank's arrest and Constable
Stuart served it and. Burbank was
put in the county Jail.
1t is doubtful II anything can be-
done to him II the above statement
OF the affair is true. and Burton will
have to look to McClickett for the
$40 he advanced on the check.
Chief Roy, thinking that the man
had committed some serious theft,
made good run and captured him.
hut he did not take the check from
him. and allowed him to turn 1t over
to the manager OF the American
house to liquidate his indebtedness
for board.
We did not learn what charge was
preferred against Burbank in the
warrant on which he was arrested,
but every one thinks that he was
entitled to his time check and he will
probably be released soon.
