OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES in Com
ventiOn.

The Sheehan enabling act, permitting
each city to frame its own charter,
passed at the last meeting of the state
legislature, was the subject under dis
cussion at joint meeting of the spe-
cial legisla tive council committee. con-
sisting of Aid. Crosby, Colburn, Long
and Adams, and a committee from the
be- I'd of trade, consisting of S. r.
Childs, John H. Nickel and ex-Judge
Mahoney.
The manner in which the matter
should be brought squarely before the
people as, an issue was, chiefly discussed
and, the sentiment was that it should
be brought squarely. before the people,
and that they be allowed to vote on it.
In adjourning, motion was adopted
requesting the board of trade at some
future meeting to submit reasons show
ing why new charter would be desir-
able, and why the present one was OBJ
jectionable. In this way it is thought
that many interested people will be
drawn into the discussion that will fol-
low, and that, as result, the public
will become sufficiently well Informed
on the subject to vote intelligently
when the occasion requires.
1t was the sense of the meeting that
1t was a little inopportune to take any
definite action regarding so important
a matter. Aid. Crosby and Aid. Col
burn said that they would be in favor
of separate municipal elections, and
they also thought that one alderman
from each ward and a number selected
at large would be great plenty.

MEXICAN OUTRAGEs.
American Heavily Fined for Using a
Native Saddle Over the Line.

A story of outrage on the part Of
Mexican officials toward an American
citizen comes from the border town
of Tia Juana, south of here. Last
Tuesday Deputy Sheriff Frank Thing,
of this county, crossed the line to az
range for the clearance through the
Mexican custom house Of fifty cattle,
which he and his brothers had been
pasturing below the line. 1t has been
the universal custom on both sides to
permit persons to cross on horseback
unmolested for brief business trips.
Thing rode a Mexican horse, but his
saddle was of American make. The
Mexican commandante, noticing the
saddle, promptly arrested Thing, and
took him to Tia Juana, where he was
kept under arrest until Friday, when
he was brought before MontavelaSco,
the administrator, who fined him $3.50.
Thing protested earnestly that it was
violation of the universal custom to
take notice of 50 small an affair, but
the officer was obdurate and threaten
ed worse punishment if Thing failed to
pay Thing remarked that he would
pay, but would do so under protest.
Then the administrator produced pa
per stating that Thing was satisfied
with the fine, and did not consider it
excessive, remarking as he did so:
You shall sign that paper. or I will
send you to Ensenada.''
Thing was rendered SO indignant by
this threat that he was tempted to
fight the thing through, but he recol-
lected the horrible sufferings endured
by other Americans who had been driv-
en- afoot seventy-five miles to Ensena-
da, the capital of the state, by mount
ed rurales, and after Americans were
once in a Mexican Jail how slow the
state department had invariably been
in securing their release. His cattle
were there, too, liable to be stolen or
dispersed. So, smothering his indigna-
ton, he paid the fine and signed the
paper Thing was allowed to go then
and look after his cattle. but an armed
guard followed him and prevented him
from leaving Mexican territory until
he had complied with all the complicat-
ed rules of the collector.
Montavelasco, it is said, is noted for
his hatred of Americans, though the
Mexican government has always shown
a desire to maintain cordial relations
along the line. There is much indigna-
ton among Americans along the bord-
er, and this new outrage on the part Of
the administrator will be brought to
the atten Ion Of his superiors

LEOPARlD,s MEMORY
Shown by the Affection Is Exhibited
for It's Former Master.

The most interesting animal, histori-
cally, in the collection at the geological
gardens. in Washington, says the Phil
adelphia Times, is a handsome African
leopard, before whose cage the visitor
pauses, watching-with a fascination
composed of equal parts of repulsion
and admiration-the graceful litheness
of it's serpent-like movements, its faith
CmleSS aQua-marine eyes, and the ven
omous beauty of it's skin.
1t was a gift to his native city from
Richard Dorsey Mohun, the distin-
guished African explorer, and United
States consul to Zanzibar: and has
been christened by him Dijini, an Al
rican word signifying devil
1t seems that the inhabitants Of a
certain village in which Mr.. Mohun
was stationed were kept in terror for
the safety of their children by the peri
Cdical ilrcursionS of a fierce female
leopard, who bore away, in her power
full jaws, pigs, sheep and any other
tempt her feline appetite. The consul
accordingly resolved to rid them Of
this nuisance, and, having laid her low
with discharge from his rifle. dis
covered that he had orphaned an inter
esting young cub. This cub, which
he adopted, was Dijini. Under his
care the animal grew so tame that he

dog, and finally accompa MED him on q
visit 10 Germany. When the carriage
which he had taken stopped in front
of one of the principal hotels in Ant
Werp, and the consul sprang out, Di-
JIM leaped after him, and the two en-
tered the building together.
The long intimacy which had existed
between them prevented Mr.. Moha1i
from realizing the sensation the intro
duction of so unique pet would create
among the inmates Of a Well-regulated
establishment. In an instant the floor
Of the Office was cleared, and guests
were seen scaling pillars and clinging
to the balustrades: while the propri-
etor, from his vantage ground behind
a. Widowed partition, poured forth
volleys Of expostulations in broken
Eng. ish.
Hes as tame as a cat" urged Mr..
Mohun. II raised him from cub"
But explanations and reassurances
were powerless to dislodge such preju-
dices. Poor Dijini had to be Gagged;
and, after refusing several f1attering
cries Mr.. Mohun shipped him to Ameri-
ca. Six months afterward, upon his
return to Washington, the consul drove
out to the gardens to see his pet, and
Mortified the man in attendance by
jumping over the railing which fenced
in his cage.
Get back" he exclaimed, rushing
forward "It isn't safe to go so near.
The animal is fierce"
Il don't think he'll hurt me,' replied
Mr.. Mohun quietly, thrusting his arm
between the bars.
Are you crazy?" broke forth the
keeper, selling him by both shoulders.
Don't you know you'll get your arm
chewed off?
But at this instant Dijini's eyes fell
upon his master. Uttering a hideous
cry of JOY he sprang forward, and,
fawning before him: thrust out his
long red tongue and licked his extend
ed hand.

Ruin of It1Sca Warehouse A Is Com
plete.
All through Wednesday night and yester-
Gay fremen continued their fight on the
burning ruins OF the Itasca warehouse Sec
ton "A" The smoking mass of debris
consisting of the floors and contents was
piled into motley heap in the basement.
The danger period was passed with the sharp
but decisive conflict between the element
and the department in the early stages OF the
blaze, but it was considered necessary to con-
inue pouring water itno the ruins to ex-
tinguish the smoldering flames. Late in the
afternoon the forces of the department were
withdrawn, as there was no remaining vestige
of the flames.
The appearance presented by the ruins
speaks impreSsively of the severe loss to the
interests represented, but it does not tell it
all. The walls of the structure are intact
and apparently fit for rebuilding purposes
but the interior is as completely Quilted as
was the Mcdonald block. The loss on the
contents of the building will be quite as
severe as first stated, in the neighborhood Of
the $500 600 limit.
Morris Holowell Jr., secretary and treasurer
of the warehouse company, stated yesterday
that such steps would be taken DIS to pre-
vent the slightest interference with the bust
ness. From the hasty review of the ruins he
imagined the loss on the stock would be al
most total. The building was insured fer
$4,000, 900 on each side, the policy be-
ing placed with R. M. Newport & Son. He
declined 10 make any statement as 10 tne
large number of people having goods stored
in the building, nor of the insurance on the
contents, until the safes could be removed
from the ruins. He stated they were on the
edge of their busy season and considered it
lucky that the fire did not occur a week or
two later. The burned portion, he stated,
would be Immediately rebuilt. There was
prospect that the salvage would amount to
considerable, a great many trunks and
boxes containing goods being slightly dam
aged. Late yesterday afternoon the safes
were removed from the ruins and the papers
and records were found to be comparatively
uninjured.

STRUCK HIS ARM
In the Powerful Cogs and Saved
Two Lives.

In the Powerful Cogs and Saved
Two Lives.
That the heroic in man or woman
only waits upon occasion and is never
so extinct that moment may not
suffice to reveal it to a startled and
admirirg world, is a truth that was
illustrated grandly in a recent mining
event at Rossland, B. c., says the
Northwest Magazine.
Two miners were working at the bot
tom of the 100-foot shaft of the Young
American mine. At the top was Jim
Hemsworth, turning the big windlass
that hoists the ore to the surface. The
l-eavy bucket filled with GRE had almost
reached the top of the shaft when the
iron crank of the windlass snapped in
two like a bit Of pine and hurled HENS
worth violently to the ground.
Springing to his feet half-dazed by
the blow, Hemsworth saw the windlass
whirling around at a frghtful rate of
speed as the loaded bucket shot down
the shaft upon, the doomed men a Loo
feet below. He had not second to
lose. There was just one chance to
save them, and he took that chance.
Bending forward, he thrust his right
arm between the cogs of the whjrling
windlass. The iron jaws crunched and
tore the flesh, crushed nerves, bone
and sinews, tore CHASTITY wounds from
finger tip to shoulder-but the windlass
stood still! With an awful jerk, the
loaded bucket stopped just above the
heads of the two terrified miners far
down in the earth.
There was rush to release Hens
worth, and in wonderfully short time
the cogs were turned back and the
manned limb lifted out of the machine.
1t was horrible sight, crushed, torn
and covered with blood, and chorus
of sympathetic cries came from the
miners. The arm was ruined for life
itself. but never a murmur came from
the suffering man.
Its a bad arm, Jim, and it'll lay
you up" said a friend compassionate
ly.
"Oh d-n the arm!" the brave fellow
retorted. 1T saved their lives, and
I'm glad"

SCRAMBLE FOR TAX TITLES.

Their Idle Money.
Never in the history of Hennepin county has
there been such a scramble for tax titles as
during the present sale in the county auditors
office. In these times when investments are
rare that give absolutely good security, county
property stands out boldly certain and
sure investment, with the IL per cent per year
to those who hold certificates. The result
is that trust companies from the East have
representatives in large number at the sale.
anxious to place their trust funds in safe
places Local companies are among the num-
Der and private individuals with plenty OF
money to invest are buying up every available
piece of property
Yesterday the excitement was at fever heat
When the choice pieces were reached men
stood about the tables and leaned over those
who occupied seats, eager to be the first
heard when the cry of Here" came in re-
Spouse to the auction. County Auditor Minor
had his hands full settling disputes as to
who had been the first to bid. In many
cases where the property was very desr-
able premiums were offered, and at one
time a premium of 5000 was bid over the face
of the tax which was $1,000 only This
rivalry brings plenty of money to the treas
ury one of the private individuals alone
having paid over to the auditor $27 goo in cash
for one days purchases. These tax title pur-
chasers do not buy for the purpose of Sc
curing tax titles, but they realize that some
one will redeem at some time, and they get
