William F. Bickel spent another night
secure his release on bail, but was un-
successful.
Shortly after o'clock yesterday aft
elnoon Mr.. Bickel appeared before
Judge Lewis, in court room No. 1, pre-
pared to furnish a bond. The sureties
presenting themselves were Mrs. Eliza
A. Bickel, the mother of William f.
Bickel, and Uri Lamprey.
The bail was fixed at $1,000. Mr.. Lam
prey was first sworn and examined as
to his property qualifications. Mr..
Lamprey testified that he owned several
Thousand acres of unencumbered real
estate in Otter Tail and other counties.
The court accepted Mr.. Lamprey as a
surety.
Mrs. Bickel was not accepted. Upon
the stand, Mrs. Bickel said that the
homestead property on Ninth street,
which was mOrtgaged for $500, stood
i'll her name, but she was not positive
that it did not also stand in the name
of her husband. Mrs. Bickel was in
similar state of doubt as to her own

as the Forest lake property, that is she
could not recall whether she was the
sole owner or owned it jointly with her
husband.
Attorney Barnard, representing Mr..
Bickel, urged the court to accept the
bond, inasmuch as Mr.. Lamprey had
shown himself to be eminently qualified
to serve as a surety. In reply, Judge
Lewis said:
$50 far as any personal consider
atoms are concerned, the court would
be very glad to do so-in fact to re-
quire no bond, but in view of the law
and requirements of our Office. it hardly
seems to the court that the bond is

was designed, especially the surety

Court then adjourned for recess of
five minutes, during which Attorney
Barnard sought to find another surety,
but failing to secure one, Judge Lewis
continued the matter until 10 a. M, and
Mr.. Bickel was conducted back to the
Jail.
Carney Ryan, who, with Patrick Con-
ley, is on the $500 bond given by Mr..
Bickel under the Hulda Peterson in

of the court room yesterday, while Mr..

the bosses.
The union claims that the bosses recently
made a voluntary reduction in prices Of
packets to the breweries, and that the cut was
unwarranted in view Of the low wages being
earned by the men. The men Claim to be
masters of the situation, as there are no
non-union coopers in the city and no brewery
workmen who will handle any packets but
those bearing the coopers' union stamp. The
assistance of the Trades and Labor assembly
has been enlisted: and an effort will be made
today to set time for another conference
probably next Tuesday afternoon, when a
settlement will be attempted.
