SEEN AT THE FORT.
Guard Sent to Meet the Airship,
but Didn't Catch On.

There has been advanced by some
who have been interested in the local
manifestation of the airship, or sup
posed aerial navigator the theory that
the signal lights beheld in the heav.
ems were the tokens Of some expert
mental signaling being INDUCED in by
the army corps at Fort Smelling That
this theory is untenable, however, is
shown by the fact that the latest APP
pearance of the phenomenon was the
chief post of the department of Da-
kota, and that little community is much
exercised over the appearance there
Thursday night of a phenomenon bear
ing a red, white and a blue light the
white being, perhaps, as large as a To-
connective headlight, the others some
what smaller.
When first seen the celestial visitor
seemed to be, perhaps, 1900 feet in the
air, and was directing it's course toward
Minneapolis. 1t followed that direction
until 1t reached a point perhaps two
miles northwest of the fort when II
reversed its direction and returning
toward the fort, descended earthward
The commandant at the fort sent a
guard to meet the visitor, but they
were unable to keep close tab on IFS
whereabouts and could not find it. but
1t is supposed that the airshin. me-
teor, or whatever it was, descended
somewhere between the fort and Lake
Amelia, that being its apparent direc-
ton at the time of the descent

HAVE PROPERTY HERE.
Two Louisiana Gentlemen Looking
over ST. Paul.

over ST. Paul.
V. d. Walsh, a venerable gentleman,
accompanied by V. NJ. Jackson, arrived
in the city yesterday from Bayou Sara,
La, and registered at the Merchants
hotel.
Messrs. Welsh and Jackson have ex-
tensive interests in real estate and
building in the city. Their visit to the
city at this time is to look after their
property, and acqUaint themselves
with the future outlook for their hold
ings.
Mr. Jackson says that he and Mr.
Walsh bought a great deal Of property
in st. Paul during the seventies, and
that they refused an offer in 1896 to sell
a tract for a phenomenal advance. He
is sorry now he did not do so.
But l do not believe that real es-
tate is any lower here than it is in
New Orleans, although times there
have not been SO hard. I mean by
that there have not been nearly as
mank bank or mercantile failures
believe all that is needed in this state
is more confidence in each other. If
you people would pull your boards out
of the safety deposit vaults and other
hiding places and put more of it in
circulation, it would be better for the
community" AT one time the hold
ings of Messrs. Walsh and Jackson in
st. Paul We're worth about a half-mil-
lion dollars.
Asked concerning the flood situation
in the South. Mr.. Jackson said that
the rivers were rising very fast At
Memphis the Mississippi is eighty
miles wide for several hundred miles.
He believes that the levees in Louis
lana will go with the others, for, as he
says, it is impossible for a river eighty
miles wide for a length Of four hun
dred miles, to crowd through a mar
rover limit below Memphis. Mr.. Jack
son is inclined to criticise the govern
ment for making appropriations for
the relief of the supposed flood suf-
ferers. He says it is merely putting
a premium on laziness.

SPANIEL. WITH A CHAIN FASTENED

CITEMENT
ON LOWER SEVENTH STREET
ERNEST LEONARD, MICHAEL SITE
Rem AND EDDIE JENSEN THE
VICTIMS.
NOME OF THEM SERIOUSLY HURT.
DIR. BrimhaII Cauterizes the Wounds
of One off the Lads-DOg Got
Away.

The neighborhood of Sixth and Pine
streets was the scene of a mad dog
scare yesterday afternoon. Shortly be-
fore o'clock a brown water spaniel
dog, his neck encircled with a collar
from which dragged a long chain, came
trotting up Sixth street. Near the cor
ner Of Olive street, Ernest Leonard,
a seventeen-year-ol youth living at
1856 East Seventh street, walked out III
the roadway with the intention or
stopping the animal AS the dog
neared Leonard he savagely attacked
him, making a bite at the lads right
foot, and, in his endeavor, tore hole
in Leonards shoe. Leaving the boy
without making another effort to bite
him, the dog scurried up the street to-
ward a group of children playing near
the corner of Sixth and Pine streets
Michael Stieren, seven years old, was
the victim of the vicious brute, and
an instant later the young boy was
lying on the ground, while the animal
was engaged in decorating his face
The playmates of the boy screamed
and ran, and Mrs. Devine, who lives
near Sixth and Pine streets, started
to rescue young Stieren. Before she
arrived the dog had started off again
up Sixth street
AT Sixth and Broadway the animal
saw Eddie Jensen, of 800 East Sixth
who was crossing the street with a
pail of milk in his hand. The dog
leaped on the boy, and, Selling the
youths right hand, began to make a
meal of it. Young Jensen howled with
pain and fright, and the dog, releas-
ing the lads hand, dashed off up the
street and was last seen going north
on Broadway.
Ernest Leonard, seen last evening,
said the dog had tried to bite him.
but when the dog took hold of his foot
he kicked good and hard and the ami
NAL ran off. Little Mike Stieren was
bundled up in bed last evening very
much excited and anXiOusly awaiting
the appearance of the doctor, who had
been summoned, but had not arrived
UP to o'clock The lads face showed
the marks of the dogs teeth in two
places on the left cheek, and there was
also wound behind his left ear. In
addition to these wounds the animal
had also bitten the boy on the left
breast, but this wound was not so Sc
we're, owing to the clothing protecting
his body. DR.. Brimhall called shortly
after 8 o'clock and cauterized the bites
telling the boys aunt, with whom he
lives, that his injuries were not seri-
Gus.
Eddie Jensen did not have his hand
cauterized, but his mother said she had
washed the wound in whisky and hot
water and would take him to a doctor
early this morning 1t was reported
that the dog had bitten some children
on lower Seventh street and one at Sew
enth and Sibley streets, but the re-
ports could not be verified The po-
lice were notified to watch for the dog
and if he could be found to have him
taken to the city veterinarians office,
instead of killing him.

MRS. WRIGHT, OFF CHICAGO, WANTS
HER SISTER, MRS. FRANK
MASTERMAN.
AND HER TWO LITTLE GIRLS.
MOTHER rs IN ROCHESTER,, WHILE
JOSEPH DUMAS HOLDS THE
CHILDREN.
FATHER KILLED SHORT TIME AGO
Chicago Woman May Employ the
Law ON Her Return From
Rochester Today.

Mrs. c. Wright, Of Chicago, Is in st.
Paul for the purpose Of obtaining Gus
tody of the children Of her sister, Mrs.
T. Masterman, who is confined in the
insane asylum at Rochester: The faith
er, Frank Masterman, it will be re-
membered, was waiter, and fell down
stairs breaking his neck while in a
drunken stupor.
About two years ago Mrs. Masterman
was committed to the asylum at Ro-
chester. The two little girls, Mary
and Della, aged five and six respective
ly, were placed in the Catholic Orphan
asylum, and subsequently given to
Joseph Dumas, a shoemaker living at
1873 Custer street. At that time 1t was
thought the father was dead, but one
day Mrs Dumas had the children out
for a walk and the father met them
on the street Dumas and Masterman
became friends and it was agreed that
Masterman was to take care of the
children until they reached their ma
jority. Dumas was to adopt Della and
Masterman was to pay for the board of
the other.
Dumas adopted Della July so, 1896,
but Masterman only paid a few dollars
towards the support of Mary. Dumas
says he promised that he would never
part the two, at the time he wanted
to adopt both of them but Masterman
would not consent. He has taken care
of the children for the past two years,
and thinks he should be allowed to keep
them both.
Mrs. Wright, the sister of Mrs. Mas
terman, is a widow and lives in Chi
cago. She is trying to get the custody
of Mary at least, and Dumas says he
will not give up the child, owing to his
prCmise he made the father, that he
would never separate the sisters 1t
is probable that Mrs. Wright will in
stitute legal proceedings in order to
get possession of the child.
Mrs. Wright also wants to take her
sister back to Chicago, and went to
Rochester yesterday to ascertain the
condition in which her sister is and
the process necessary to secure the
woman's removal. Today it is expect
ed she will call on Secretary Hart,
and he will doubtless do anything he
can to further the desires of Mrs.
Wright in the matter. If Mrs Mas
terman is an Illinois woman, it is
thought that state should support her
in her present condition, if her sister
finds that it is necessary for her to
have her confined in some institution.

Col. A. B. Carey ordered by the war
department to succeed Col. Glenn as
chief paymaster of the department of
Dakota, whose arrival in st. Paul was
mentioned in the G. / o b of yesterday,
entered West Point in 1854 from Con-

he was attached to the Seventh in

made a captain and attached to the
Thirteenth infantry. He was actively

STYLES IN LADIES HATS.
Some of the Proper COnceits of the
Season.

If one avoids the oddities and mon
strosities displayed by some of the
shops this year and seeks that which
is artistic and in taste, it must be
owned that the fashions in millinery
this spring are more beautiful than in
many years gone by. The stately
corn flower in all the new shades Of
blue is the faVorite with the millinerS
though never have flowers been used
more extensively. Tulle is also a nee
essary adjunct to nearly every hat or
bonnet turned, and makes a most at
tractiVe trimming One Of the finest
displays in the city is to be seen to-
day at the store of Misses Whitaker
and McGill on St Peter street Miss
Whitaker has just returned from the
East where she made some most care
full and artistic selections, and with
aid of firSt-claSS trimn1ers has ar
ranged for theI,spring opening today
an array of head wear lovely in the
extreme. The most elaborate of the
hats are the ones Of geranium red AMI
the enormous black carriage hats
which promise to rage this season.
Blue and green is popular con- bina-
ton and becoming to almost every
woman, the red hat only looking we'll
on a favored few. The sailor hat still
holds it's own, and some of the new
ones are exceedingly nobby in style and
bands. The walking hat seems to have
lost it's stylish look, but many new
ones have been brought on, and it will
be popular for cycling, as well as the
Comfy.

An alarm was turned in and the blaze ex-

origin of the fire is a mystery, as the shed
was empty and had not been used for some
time.

KILLED ONE FISH.
Said to Be Basis for Indictinr n
Game Warden

A telegram from Detroit. Mimi. to
the G says: Deputy Game War
den P. 0. Stephens was indicted by
the grand jury for violating the game
laws. 1t is impossible to give the facts
of the case, but the following is sup
posed to be correct: About two weeks
ago Warden Stephens arrested two
young men for fishing out Of season.
and in Selling their fishing tackle he
landed a fish which was injured and
threw it on the ice. The young men
were fined, and it is generally supposed
they are trying to play back on Steph-
ems
Mr. Stephens is the warden who
caused the arrest of Davis. a Detroit
man, on the charge OF criminal libel.
This, however, does not appear to have
any connection with that case.
