TOLD TO SAY NOTHING.
Detec tives SOIicitOus About the
Newspapers These Days.

The detectives and C. B. Benson. Of
5S7 Robert street, are looking for a
young man named Bert Norris. Ac-
cording to the story of Benson he was
done out Of $65 by Norris on Saturday
last Norris has been conducting a
restaurant at SO East Third street. The
place and fixtures were owned by II.
H. White White ran the restaurant
during the G. A. r. encampment, but
not being up in the business, sublet to
Norris after the rush was over. Ben
son, who came to st. Paul looking for
a chance to invest some capital had
a talk with Norris and the result was
that last Friday Norris persuaded him
to purchase a half interest in the res
taurant for $65 cash. Saturday morn
ing when Benson went to assume
charge of the business he found that
he had been euchered out of his coin
as Mr. White, the owner Of the plant,
had leased the restaurant on Friday to
ether parties. Benson swore out a
warrant and says the detectives told
him If he said nothing about the mat
ter they would soon have Norris in
custody. 1t has been five days since
he took out the warrant and Benson
not having heard from the officers is
fearful that Norris has escaped.

Robert Dean alias "Memphis Bob f"
the colored man whom the detectives

tons from tho residence of William
dawson Jr,, on Sept. "a, was not taken
70 court yesterday. 1t was thought
Memphis would talk some after a

refused 20 disclose anything. The de-
tectiyes claims however that he has
eeen Identified by the pawnbroker in
minneapolis, with whom he pawned
the buttons and that there is a case
against him.
Lean was arrested by Detectives
Mofr1sey and Hoy, of Minneapolis, and
the arrest was effected in g. peculiar
manner Last Saturday Detective
Morrissey CHANGED to see him give a
colored friend pair of cuffs fastened
with pair of gold cuff buttons with
diamond settings to be pawned. They
were placed in pawn, and, having a
suspicion that Dean had been doing
considerable thieving in both cities, the
detective at once started on a search
for an owner for the cuff buttons He
ana Hoy were both unsuccessful until
MONDAY, when they found that the but
IONS were part Of a quantity Of Jew
eriy stolen from the residence of Will
lam Dawson, 1t being one Of several
burglaries.
The Minneapolis officers claim that
the St Paul detectives are not entitled
to the credit for the arrest as Dean
was turned over to them handcuffed
and at the same time they were in
formed where the cuff buttons had
been pawned. The story about meas
uring the footsteps outside the Dawson
house and tracing Dean from Jimmy"
marks on the Dawson window sill, Is,
according to the Minneapolis detec-
tives, a pipe story" and Detective
Hoy, who is pretty good himself, has
turned over the medal which he held
for years to the st. Paul sleuths. Dean
will be arraigned in the police court
this morning.

REVER SED ALI. THREE.
Trial Courts Turned Down by the
Supreme Tribunal.


The district courts Of the state Jared
poorly in the decisions handed down
by the supreme court yesterday The
three decisions on appeals were all re-
versals Of the trial courts decisions.
In the case of n. F.. Clarke against
the Stearns county commissioners, the
court holds that the plaintiff was not
entitled to collect or secure the re-
fundment Of taxes illegally paid unless
he had exhausted his statutory rem
edies for setting aside such wrongful
assessment.
John R. Howard, too, who was con-
victed of offering a bribe to juror, Is
as lucky as was Charles r. Lowe the
day before, the court holding that the
Indictment was not sufficiently explicit
as to the circumstances of the alleged
crime. The syllabi Of the decisions.
aside from that in the board of public
works case, are as follows:
Nehemiah P. Clarke, respondent, VS.. Board
of County Commissioners Stearns County,
appellant.
Held a taxpayer who has been assessed
in each of two different counties for the same
personal property cannot obtain relief under
section 1922 General Statutes 1894, by making
an ex parte application to the state auditor
to determine in which county he should be
assessed, but he should apply to him prompt
ly on notice to the proper authorities Of each
county, or ask the state auditor to fix a time
and place of hearing and give notice thereof
2. Held such taxpayer cannot be relieved
from such double assessment by the state
auditor under section 1852, General Statutes
1894 on the recommendation of the board Of
county commissioners alone, but the county
auditor must also recommend such relief.
Clarke VS.. Stearns County, AZ Mimi, $50,
adhered to; where in such case the tax
payer paid the tax so wrongfully assessed
against him in the county of his residence
where he was not properly taxable on the
property he cannot recover back the amount
so paid, unless he has exhausted his statutory
remedies for setting aside such wrongful as
sessment.
Judgment reversed and new trial granted.

SOME OPPOSE 1T.
Property Owners Adjoining Do Not
Want Spring Street Opened.

There was a meeting in the office
Of the commissioner Of public works
yesterday of the property owners along
the levee where 1t is proposed to open
Spring street The proposition has
been canvassed a great deal in the
past, and nothing new was developed
at the meeting except that the large
interests along the proposed improve
ment were opposed to it.
A number of years ago the Omaha
road was given permission to lay a
couple Of tracks on the street, and now
some of the property owners want the
road to vacate. The West Publishing
company and a,other large interests do
not favor thefopening as it would de-
prive them Of Facilities for the shipping
of freight. It was contended that the
opening Of the street would be Of lit
tie use to the public at large, while It
would be a detriment to some interests.
There was a good deal Of discussion,
but the matter was finally allowed to
go over and the hearing was adjourned
for week.
