trict court yesterday by Receivers

PHILIP SHUFELDT CONTINUES HIS
TESTIMONY IN THE HEARING
BEFORE JUDGE BRILL.
EXPENSES OF THE COMPANY.
THE OFFICERS AND OTHERS
DREW FROM $1,000 PER
YEAR DOWN.
HISTORY OF A NO NAME ACCOUNT.
Witness Denies That He Refused to
Open the Books for Inspection
by Interested Parties.

Philip Shufeldt spent another day
on the witness stand in Judge Brill's
court yesterday in the case of the Min
nesota Packing & Provision company,
and f. B. Kellogg, in behalf of the
plaintiff, continued his cross-examina-
ton.
Mr.. Shufeldt was further questioned
concerning the operations of the Eng
lish company and that of the Dakota
Packing company during the years
1886 and 1897, UP to the date of the
appointment of W. r. Merriam as re-
ceiver on April s.
Mr.. Shufeldt testified that the total
salaries paid by the Minnesota Pack
ing & Provision company during the
ten months from June 5, 1896, to April
s, 1897, amounted to $37, OOO The total
sum paid for labor, $41, 600, and other
expenses brought the entire total up
to $4,000. Mr.. Shufeldt admitted that
the product sold for nearly $4,000 less
than what it cost the company.
In reply to Mr.. Kellogg's inquiry as
to the salaries paid the officers of the
company, Mr.. Shufeldt answered that
he received $500 per year, Frank
Clinton $4,000 per year, McCaw $1,000
per year, Spillman $1,000 per year,
Gahan, $4,000 per year, and Kenyon
$1,000 per year. There were several
other employees, whose salaries brought
the total up to about $41, 900 a year.
Mr.. Kellogg then interrogated Mr..
Shufeldt concerning a no name ac-
count appearing on the books of the
refrigerator car company. Mr.. Shu-
feldt answered that the account had
been paid to the car company by Mr..
Nicol in Chicago, and that it amount
ed to $4,000. He didn't know what it
was for, except that Nicol had said
he could make some money for the
company. He did not know how
Nicol got the money, but he knew it
had been paid to the car company. He
denied that he received any part of il.
In response to his counsel, George G.
Squires, Mr.. Shufeldt said that he had
never refused to open the books to
the inspection of Mr.. Benson, but on
the contrary had volunteered to SUBJ
NIT them to the latter's examination.
The estate of Robert D. Fowler had
never assumed the subscriptions Of
MessrS. Oppenheim, Kalman and Ben
son to the stock Witness had him
self, as executor of the Fowler estate,
subscribed $4,000.
The afternoon session of court last
ed but an hour and a half. 1t was
principally devoted to introducing
notes and checks showing the history
of the Indebtedness of the company to
Shufeldt. Mr. Shufeldt testified that
prior to the time that he had anything
to do with the company, to wit in 1890,
the company was indebted largely to
the Anglo-American Provision COM
pany, and gave the details of the
amounts.
Court then adjourned until 10 a. m.
today.

Two ST. Louis Attorneys Think They
Can Beat the Weather.

H NJ. Dalton and P. H Levin, both
attorneys from ST. Louis, passed
through ST. Paul yesterday, leaving
On the Northern Pacific coast train in
the afternoon for what is vaguely
known as the Klondike. They stopped
off at ST. Paul for a visit with Edward
J. Darragh, and while in this city
were his guests.
I'VE are not a part of the wild hap
hazard rush to the Klondike,'' said
Mr.. Dalton to a reporter for the
Clio b e, discussing their plans and
prospects, "but we believe there are
great possibilities for young men in
the new country, and we intend to
find out if we are right.
From what we have read the great
difficulty seems to be that the passes
are blocked by heavy travel, hosts of
people trying to get over the roads
that are wet and heavy with rains
and easily cut up. The advice usually
given is to wait until spring, and
then before the passes are again
deep with mud to go through on the
frozen ground. Now, if the trip is to
be made when things are frozen we do
not see why it is necessary to wait
for spring. 1t would seem to be as
easy to get through on the first freeze
as on the last one, and that in brief
is our plan.
I'VE have letters to Mr.. Duncan.
who is manager of the Tredwell
mine at Juneau and assurances that
he Will do all that he can for us. We
will not make any final plans until we
have consulted him.
"The government expects to keep
the way over Chilcoot pass open this
winter for mails, and mounted police
are to make the journey once q
month. If they can make the trip we
believe we can. AS to provisions, We
do not believe the scarcity threatened
at the mines will be felt. There is an
abundance of food at st. Michaers.
and the government, we understand,
are making arrangements to get it
through to Dawson City by the use
of RENDERS. In our idea the men
who will suffer this winter from lack
of food will not be those who are over
the passes, but those who are at Dyea
and Skaguay. We have hardly con-
sidered the matter of White Pass, as
it does not appear that it is practic-
able"
"You must understand, however"
broke in Mr.. Levin, that all of this
is conditional We are not absolutely
set on trying our luck in the Klon-
dixie placers or any of the adjacent
streams. The possibilities of Alaska
are not confined to the Klondike.
There is, for instance, the Copper riv-
er, which comes down to the coast,
and which is said to be very promis-
ing for prospectors, and there are doz-
ems of fields, not necessarily gold,
which hold out great Inducements.
More than that, general merchandise
ing will be a field of great profit for
many, and if the Alaska develop
ment makes good the wonderful prom
Uses of today, it is possible that the
great fortunes will be made by those
who never try their fortunes in the
mines. We are not committed to any
plan, and have enough capital that
will be available to enable us to try
that field of activity that promises
the most"

KEEP UP THE FARCE.
Another Street Railway Ordinance
Is Being Drafted.

Aids. Kenny and Bigelow are having
an ordinance drafted in relation to the
change of the cable to an electric line.
The new ordinance will provide for the
franchise for the Fourth and Selby
1927, which was passed in 1889, and
gives the company fifty-year fran
chise.
Aid. Bigelow is opposed to the city
giving the street railway company
perpetual franchise for an electric line
on the present cable route. Aid. Ken
ny, of course, is bent on having the
Broadway loop included in the new
measure and this will be one of the
features. The ordinance will be
brought up at the meeting of the COM
mittee on streets of the board of al
dermen this afternoon.

Personal INJURY SUITS.
City Railway Defendant in Two Out
of Three.

Daniel Tracy, as guardian Of Dennis
Tracy, who has been adjudged incom-
petent, has brought suit against the
st. Paul City Railway company to re-
cover $20,500 damages for personal in
juries to Dennis Tracy. The complaint
alleges that on Dec a. 1896, while Den
mis- Tracy was crossing the street rail-
way company's tracks on Payne ave-
nue., near York street, he was struck
down by street car, his skull frac-
tured and his leg broken. The COM
plant further alleges that as a result
of the accident Dennis Tracy has lost
his mental functions, and is perma-
nently incapacitated in mind and body.
Judgment for $780, 500 is demanded.
Albert Peterson was yesterday ap-
pointed guardian ad litem Of Gunilda
M. Peterson, to bring an action in the
district court against the ST. Paul City
Railway company to recover damages
for personal injuries sustained by Cum
Ida M. Peterson on Aug. Z, 1897.
Eliza O'Gara has begun a personal
injury suit against the city to recover
$5,125 damages. The plaintiff fell on
cross walk in April last at Hopkins
and Bradley streets, and alleges that
the walk was in a defective condition.

ISN'T DRAWING PAY.
But Street Commissioner KjeI1berg
Keeps Saving Wood.

J. E. Kjellberg, the street commits
sioner appointed by the city engineer,
vice Commissioner Carroll discharged,
has not as yet been confirmed by the
board of public works. Kjellberg, how
ever. keeps right on at work and as
provided by law makes daily reports to

men Tuesday might, fixing the salaries
of the street commissioners at SIS per
month for August. If the resolution
goes throughe the assembly Kjellberg
hopes to get his pay without the board
of public works confirming his ap
pointment.
President Copeland, when asked yes
terday about the confirmation of Kjell-
berg, said the board had not taken up
the matter. It is noticeable, however,
that the members of the board are not
cropping in the dark in the matter, as
the pay rolls of the street and sewer
force which are passed on every two
weeks, have a bright red line drawn
through Kjellberg's name.

SPHINX BEATS THE CITY.
A Dog With Its Owner Is Not Run
ming at Large.

The decision of Judge Twohy in the
case of F. H. Sphinx against the city,
in an appeal from Justice Mills court,
is in process of preparation and will
be signed shortly. 1t will uphold the
decision of Justice Mills in favor of the
plaintiff giving him possession of his
dog and declaring that the animal was
not running at large when seized by
Dog Catcher Kelly. Judge Twohy will
hold that it was the undisputed testi-
mony that when the dog in question
was seized by the dog catchers it was
with it's owner and that it required a
struggle to get the dog away and into
the wagon This being the case the
court will maintain that the dog was
not at large and that the officers were
not warranted in their seizure. The
proper course, according to the court,
would have been to ledge complaint
against Mr.. Sphinx, If, as was alleged.
he allowed his dog to run at large, and
punish him pursuant to a provision Of
the dog ordinance.

The capitol attaches were treated to
revival of nine days sensation yes
terday. About a week ago a sneak
thief entered the building, and, while
apparently sightseeing, as many carni-
val guests had a penchant for doing,
distracted a purse and some money
from the desk of one of the young wo-
men employed in the state library.
Yesterday the audacious rascal re-
turned to the library for second haul,
but on observing the same young wo-
man, took to his heels and fled out OF
the building and down street.

in a signed editorial IN today's issue of

such a devoted champion of the people

TO THE VOTERS OF GLYNN COUNTY.

This county is, at present. without a court
house; and lt is absolutely necessary that a
suitable building be erected at an early day
IN order that the valuable records and parers
OF the county can be placed in Fl. e proof vaults
for safe keeping. and that The officers and courts
of the county be provided with suitable quar-
ters for the conduct of the cOunty's business
The city has kindly allowed the county com
missioners the use of the city hail for some time
past and is willing that we should remain in
the building until we can erect G courthouse
provided that the work is aG once commenced
but as the superior and city courts often con-
1ict with the police court and as the city needs
most of the room now OccGpIed by the county,
il could not consent to the use OF their building
for courthouse purposes for an indefinite time
and the county should not ask nor expect 1t.
This board has given considerable time to the
cons .dcratiOn Of this matter and has determ
ined to assume the responsible task of erecting
a courthouse building this year, believing it to
be TO the best interest OF the county TO do so.
Plans for a handsome, durable building have
been selected and when this building is com
pIeted the county will have building that will
he an honor TO the county. an ornament to the
CITY and building that will meet the REQUIRE
mems of our county for generations to come.
This building can be erected and furnished for
$40 coo.
the county has no funds with which to erect
this building and it is the cfore necessary that
the oney he raised either by the sale Of bonds
OF by levy of a special tax for that purpose.
This board prefers thai II be raised by the is
sue of bonds, for the reason that in this way the
building can be paid for in small annual pay
ments OF Sl,j3}.OO p.lncil al and D per cent in
terest which can be provided for ont of the
general funds of the county, without ino reas-
| ing the taX rate at all for that purpose, and
| consequently will not be a burden 10 any one
| While by direct taxation the $4,000 would have
| to be raised in one year which would necessi-
tate the levyOf special tax of at least per
| cent in addition t. the regular tax, thus max
ing 1t fall very heavily on the tax payers at
| this time.
This board, therefore, called an election to be
held on the 6Lh dav OF July, to determine
whether the voters of the county are in favor
of the issue of $4,000 of per cent bonds to fall
| toned purpose.
TO authorize the issue of these bonds, two
thirds (2-3) of the total registered vote must be
cast in favor of bonds.
