BIG MONEY AT STAKE.
Uncle Sam Sues to Recover
Half a Million From
Lumbermen.

The United States court yesterday
was engaged in calling Il jury in the
case of the United States vs.. The
Pine River Logging and Improve
ment company, says Tuesdays
Pioneer Press. The logging COM
pany had a contract to cut off all
the dead and fallen timber on Win
nebigCshish Indian reservation on
the Mississippi river in 1891. The
suit is brous hit to recover $4G7 ,474 "a
the value 0f the logs cut. it being al
legged that the trees cut were good
timber, and therefore, the work was
done in violation of the contract.
j. B. Atwater, a. LELAND and Eugene
Hay are attorneys for the de-
PENDANTS. When tho case was called
the corridors OF the federal building
presented a strange appearance, us
two hundred Chippewa Indians had
been called as witnesses in the case
on both sides of the controversy.
The suit is destined to drag along
for some time and a strong fight will
be put up by either side. The whole
OF yesterday was consumed in i'm
pannelling the jury and examining
four witnesses.

Peter Gales, driver OF the Little
Falls brewery wagon, was badly In.
jured, and narrowly escaped instant
death last week while driving home
from Rich Prairie. He fell asleep us
he was riding, and does not know
exactly how it happened, but thinks
that by a sudden lurch of the wagon
he was thrown off his seat, falling
on the pole between the shorses.
This frightened the animals and they
kicked at him and ran away. He
fell off the pole and the wheels of the
heavy wagon passed over his chest,
infiicting painful injuries. His face
was also badly cut by his fall on the
wagon pole, and he is otherwise
badly bruised and hurt. He was
rendered unconscious and lay in the
road. he thinks, about two hours
The team came home, without doing
any damage to the rig, and after
Gales recovered he was able to walk
home. No bones were broken, and
though his injuries are painful they
are not considered dangerous. His
escape from death is almost miracu-
lOus.

A. Krause. the cattle herder, is in
trouble again. Frank Blazer made
complaint against him, alleging
that Krause had taken his COW from
another herder and still retains spOs-
session of the animal. Krause claims
that Blazer owes him 50 for herding
the COW, and will attempt to hold
her until the claim is paid. A war
rant has been issued for Krause's
arrest, charging him with grand
larceny. There is, probably, no man
in the state who has been in court
as many times in the same length of
time as Krause has during the few
years he has resided here. Sympathy
for his family has got him out OF
several scrapes, but it seems that be-
fore he is converted into peaceable,
la w-abiding citizen some severe
lesson must be taught him. The
authorities are growing very tired
OF his pranks. and he has just about
gone to the limit. He will probably
feel something drop soon, unless he
changes his methods considerably.

SAYS THE DAMS HELP.
Government Engineer Powell
Says the Reservoirs are
a Benefit.

st. Paul Globe: F. l.. Vance, Deel
River, Itasca county, was in tht
Twin Cities Saturday long enough tt
tell reporter for Il morning paper
that damming on the upper Missis
sipDi is Il failure. A. 0. Powell, as
sistant United States engineer Of
this district, yesterday said that Mr.
Vance's talk is absurd from begin
ming to end.
There are five dams, says Mr.
Powell, two on the Mississippi, and
one each ON Leach, Sandy and Pine
rivers. They are an essential in
keeping up the stage Of water, al.
though this year there was not
much trouble from this, al the heavy
rains of last spring filled the streams,
and the cams are partly open now.
At present there is Il good stage OF
water and fine channel clear to
Lake Pepln, but the floods of the
early spring caused bar to form
near Winona. and this has caused
some trouble and will be removed.
Instead of the lumbermen on the
upper Mississippi opposing the dams.
they have their hearty support, as
without them their logs couldn't be
driven at times. The dams have
saved the loggers thousands Of
dollars.
The statement that the govern
ment has paid the Indians for all the
loss they have suffered from the
flowage of the dams, MIR. Powell
says, is on u par with the rest of the
story. In 1880 commission was
appointed to look over the premises
and award the damages, and this
commission placed the damages at
5000, which sum was set aside to
pay: these claims, but was not &C.
cepted. Afterwards congress made
an appropriation of 500, 900 for this
which was q princely sum
to pay any damages which might
arise. There IL no overflow except
upon lands owned or. controlled by j.!
the government appropriation.

THE FORFEIT TAX LAW.
Morrison County Has Not
Gone Under Its PrOviS-
ions.

General Law No. 29O ia attracting
a great deal of attention now, ant
it seems a severe blow to the com
munities in which it operates. II
provides that in any equity where
the delinquent taxes equal 8 per cent
OF the assessed valuation, and the
county commissioners so declared by
resolution. the property owners then
had till June. 1898, in which to pay
their taxes without penalty or inter
est. The law was passed in the ill.,
terests Of st. Louis county. and at
the earnest request Of the Duluth
delegation. 1t was found afterwards
that the law could be made
applicable to several other counties,
including Morrison, but the county
commissioners of this county declined
to pass the necessary resolution. The
only counties that passed the resolu-
ton. 50 far IA we know, were St.
Louis and Benton. The people Of
Duluth are now expressing grea t
dissa tisfaction with the law and It's
adoption by the county board.
Mayor Truelsen sent a communica.
ton to the council Monday evening
condemning the new forfeited tax
law. He says: 1T is an
infamous law, in so far that large
holders OF property are the only
class that can and will take advant-
age OF it, and thereby again unload
the indebtedness on the poor people
that have paid their taxes. Unless
is done it will bankrupt
the city and county, and every other
city and county In the state that
comes under it's provisions. 1t looks
hut no doubt it was well
by the promoters. 1t
seems to me that such a law must
be unconstitutional. because it taxes
one class of citizens for the benefit of
and makes the state a pre-
lerred creditor. I am credibly in
formed that outside property owners
who want to pay their taxes have |
been advised not to do so by their |
agents located here"
The mayor advises the testing of
he constitutionality of the law, and
links the county and city should
'qually stand the expenses of such
est. FL: 80 .-..

VIM. E. Curtis in the Chicago Record.
Mr. Call of Florida was a very uncom-
Portable man to his colleagues while he
was in the Senate, and there was a gem
eral expression of satisfaction and relief
when he was defeated for reelection, but
he promises TO be a good deal more of a
nuisance now that he is out than he was
when he was IN. They thought they had
got rid of him. but they find he is still on
their hands. He wants to be taken care
Of. Although he is a democrat and a sill
verite, he thinks President Mckinley
ought to give him an office, and is now
circulating a petition, and was at the
white house to-day with that purpose in
view. Some Of his more candid friends
have told him that they could not dis
cover any Office that was fitted for him,

been assailing them for the last eight or
ten years in the Senate, and now he
thinks they are trying to get even with
him. If President Mckinley does not give
him an office he will attribute il to their

the senators who have refused to sign his

HAD HIM ARRESTED.
Husband Returns to a Wife Tie
Thought He Had Killed.

Valdosta, Ga. May 29.-Over in Brooks
county about three years ago an old negro
man became involved in fight with his
wife and stabbed her nearly to death. In
fact he left her for dead and skipped out
from the place to other parts. She recov-
cred and moved to Valdosta to live with a
nephew named Nose Williams here. Last
night the old negro turned up at the house
and the wife gave him a cordial greeting.
He congratulated himself upon the recep-
ton and went to bed with light heart
After he had gotten asleep, the wife came
up town and had policeman to go down
and arrest him. The old negro gave bond,
and, by way of retaliation, informed the
police that the nephew Williams, was an
escaped convict from Florida He told
such a straight tale about Williams that
the officers arrested him and wrote to the
Florida officials to find out if the report is
true.
To-day was the day for the examination
of school teachers here, and about fifteen
white teachers We're present to be exam
ined. At the colored school where the
colored teachers were being examined there
