MYSTERY.
Crazy Man Turns Up the "Bad
Lands with Wealth.

LSEuS" WIN wealth..
The claim made again that the
famous Lost Cabin gold mine has
been found, recalls the fact that the
mine has been found" before The
Lost Cabin mine is in the bad Lands"
in Wyoming, near the headWaters OF
the Big Horn river, about sixty miles
from Fort Washaki In 1874 five men
set out from the fort to prospect. A
few weeks after one of them, with his
pockets full of nuggets, wandered back
TO the fort His mind was completely
gone All he could murmur was lost
cabin" Expeditions were at once sent
out, but no trace was found of the
mine or the missing men, who, 1t was
supposed were killed by Indians. In
1884 a cowboy rode into Fort Washaki
and said that he had found the Lost
Cabin by accident. AS every one be-
lieved that the Last Cabin mine was
fabulously rich, a crowd was soon
ready to start with the discoverer.
They found a decaying log cabin, with
four skeletons in or near IT and tun-
mel sunk in the hillside. The ore was
black and heavy and the first man VINO
got out with a muleload never went
hack. for the assay showed no trace
of gold. nothing but plumbago. Inc
news of the finding Of Lost Capln got
out and for months miners nockeu
there, only to be disappointed. After
a. while the excitement died out and
the old mine was deserted. But still
the problem remains, where did the
crazy miner get his nuggets, and what
became of his four companions! Per-
hans it has been solved this time.
Many prospectors think that the crazy
miner found his nuggets while away
from his party, and lost his mind as
well as his way in trying to return to
them.

CITY HAS A FIGHT ON.
Railways Answer in the Raymond
Avenue Bridge Matter.

The Great Northern, Northern Pa
cif1c and Minnesota Transfer Railway
companies served their answers yeSter-
day in the suit brought by the city Of
ST. Paul to compel these railroad COM
panies to construct a new bridge over
their tracks at Raymond avenue. Each
company puts in a separate answer.
The answers are identical in respect
to one defense. All the companies deny
that that portion of Raymond avenue
crossing their tracks ever was public
street or highway. They claim to have
ACQUIRED title to the strip of land and
to have laid their tracks thereon prior
to the opening of Raymond avenue at
that point. 1t is alleged In the answers
that in 1885, the owners of abutting
property applied to the railroad COM
panies for permission to construct a
bridge over the tracks, and the per-
mission was granted on condition that
the property owners forever maintain
such bridge. The answers further al
lege that Raymond avenue was never
laid out across the right of way of the
defendants, that no condemnation was
had and that the crossing OF bridge
highway was simply permitted under
a license. 1t is also alleged that the
territory in this district was never
taken into the city limits until 1885,
prior to which time defendants were in
possession of the right of way.
The Great Northern company alleges
as it's specific defense that it acquired
| title to the land it occupies in 1880, and
| that prior to 1884, it's tracks were all
laid at this point. y,
The Northern Pacific denies that it
is under obligation to construct a bridge
| on Raymond avenue over its right Of
way, for the reason that it purchased
! it's right of way in November, 1884,
prior to the plating of the addition to
! the city It admits that the defendants
permitted the building of the bridge,
| but denies that any greater privilege
was granted than the right to cross the
| bridge The Northern Pacific company
| also alleges that any bridge of a more
| expensive character than the present
! one, which is a wooden structure is I'M
necessary, and denies that an iron
! bridge of the character proposed is
necessary or advisable at this time.
In it's answer, the Minnesota Trans
! fer Railway company declares that it
acquired that portion of it's highway i'll
| 1884 from the st. Paul, Minneapolis &
Manitoba, which had purchased it for
railroad purposes in 1858. The ans
wer alleges that the plat of the addi-
ton to the city was filed in April, 1885,
and that in 1886 it purchased from the
! owners of the property in block 63, Of
! the addition, the remainder of the right
| of way, which it now owns free from
| all membranes and with the cove
| nant that it should never be divided
| by any street. The answer denies that
| the tracks were put down after the
| was Dedicated

AMBITION.
How an Indiana Lad Worked His
College Course.


MANY boys and men have worked
their way through college, but, so far
as is known, Indiana holds the only one
who MIXED his way through. Martin
Quinn was a ragged farm hand when
he made up his mind to get a college
education, and set about obtaining the
means.
He began by trading with his neigh
bcrs, until he owned pig, which be
raised and sold to buy calf. The calf
grew into a COW, which was sold, and
more pigs and calves bought. BY the
time he was eighteen Quinn had earned
5000. With this money he bought six
good mich COWS, which he shipped to
Chicago, riding along in the freight
train to care for them.
He reached the city with his COWS
and 81 in cash. Leaving his cows at
the stockyards, he went straight to the
University of Chicago and matricSlat-
ed. Having done this, he sought The
steward of the college, told his story
and laid a proposition before him. Milk
was costing the college 25 cents a gal
lon. Quinn agreed to furnish it at 70
cents.
The deal was made and the young
undergraduate dairyman went to seek
q place to house his herd. One was
found and arrangements for pasture
made. For four years Quinn cared for
those cows, MIXED them every morn
ing at 4 o'clock. strained the milk and
carried it to the steward. From it he
averaged $3.50 a day, and on this ne
lived and furnished food and shelter for
the COWS.
When he graduated this year he sold
the COWS for $3.50, with which he bought
books to study Jaw at Lafayette, Ind.

RECEIVES SOME CREDIT.
Hawaii May Act, but Congress Will
Not BE Especially Summoned.

WASHINGTON, Sept. There is no
disposition among officials here to ques-
ton the correctness of the statement
in the dispatches from Hawaii to the
effect that Minister Hatch hurried to
Honolulu with the special purpose of
securing annexation action by the Ha-
waiian government in advance of the
meeting of our congress. There is no
rule in diplomatic practice that would
forbid Hawaii first acting upon the
treaty, and the treaty itself does not
indicate which government is to take
the initiative in the ratification. While
it is regarded as desirable in the exc
cution of the policy Of President Nc
Kinley towards Hawaii, as laid down in
his message transmitting the treaty to
congress last June, that the document
shall be ready in all respects for the
action of the United States at it's next
session it is not believed that the pres
ident has any intention of calling a
special session for the purpose of rati-
fication Indeed, considering the fact
that if the Hawaiian legislature acts
with the greatest promptness upon the
treaty. it can scarcely complete this
action and return the ratified conven-
ton to Washington before October at
the earliest. 1t would appear to be un-
necessary to advance the session OF
congress by such a short space of time
as would intervene between that GATE
and the date upon which congress
meets in regular session.

The "OriginaI Marks" In Poverty In
Chicago.

Chicago.
The original of MY name is Marks,
I'm lawyer, shake" is living in poor
circumstances in Chicago, at the age
Of eighty-three. His name is Abraham
Marks. He says that Mrs. Stowe
wished to localize Uncle Toms
Cabin" and some one told her he was
the only attorney in the vicinity.
Judge Marks-he was made a pro-
bate Judge by Sam Houston-has had
a checkered career. Graduating from
Union college in 1882, he studied law,
was admitted to the bar and went to
New Orleans. From there he went to
Monroe, La, where he established the
Standard. His conduct of that paper
drew him into several duels and he
was indicted half a dozen times for
libel. In 1897 he met a flre-eater
named Alexander, on the field OF
honor" and escaped with a bullet
through his coat.
After this duel he started for Texas
on horseback. At Houston he met the
famous Sam Houston, then president
Of the Texan Republic Houston made
Antonio. He remained in Texas 4
number of years and then returned to
Arkansas.
All his life Judge Marks has been an
active politician. He was at first a
Wing, but afterwards became Re-
publican, to which party he has be-
longed since it was born, in 1856. He
says that when he was a very small
child his parents, who lived at Pensa-
cola. were intimate with Gen Jack
sons family, and that he remembers
seeing Mrs. Jackson sit in the chimney
corner and smoke a pipe. He asserts
that Henry Ward Beecher once told
him confidentially that if he could see
the manuscript of Uncle Toms
Cabin" he would see that he (Beecher)
had written a large part of the book.

DECIDEDLY NARROW ESCAPE.
SPLIT SWITCH OR SPREADING

FREIGHT.
ENGINE TURNS OVER ON IT'S SIDE
r.. A. Young and Fireman Brennan
Go Over, Too, and Come Out
With Slight Bruises.

The spreading Of rail, or some de-
feet in split switch, on the main
track of the st. Paul & Duluth road,
Just east of the Third street bridge,
caused a wreck and $4,000 worth of
damage to rolling stock of the road
yesterday afternoon.
Switch engine No 70, in charge of
Engineer T. A Young and Fireman
Brennan, was pulling fifteen empty
freight cars along the track near the
Third street bridge at a rapid rate,
when through some defect in the rail
or a switch although the officials have
not decided as yet the exact cause, the
engine left the track For over 100 feet
the engine plowed its way through the
dirt, and then half turning about fell
over on it's side. The engineer and
fireman did not desert their posts, for
the reason that the accident came so
suddenly that there was no chance for
them to do so. Both, however, escap-
ed with slight bruises, which, to the
railroad men who visited the scene,
seemed almost miraculous. The first
three cars next the engine were smash
ed so that repairs will hardly be posi-
ble while the next four were badly
wrecked. The engine made hole for
itself in the soft ground, and the rails
of the track for a distance of about
ninety-five feet We're torn up.
A wrec1ing crew was soon on the
spot, and the work of righting the en-
CINE was commenced. The tracks of
the main line were blocked by the ac-
cident and last night all trains were
obliged to use the Great Northern
tracks in and out of the union depot
and yards The wrecking crew expect
to have the tracks ready for traffic this
morning.
