Sutherland Matter Is Bothering the
Park Board.

Temporary truce conditions have
been brought about In the notorious
Park Board Sutherland matter, and at
present both parties are lying low,
ready however, to reheWit the fight at
a moments notice. n
This simply adds IA new chapter to
case that is as old as the hills. Some
years ago Peter Sutherland conveyed
to the park board certain lands on the
south shore of Lake Harriet, reserving
certain rights. Subsequently, Mr.. Suth-
erland sold his adjoining land. He,
however, claimed to have vested
rights" One of these was to build
boat and bath houses at the lake, with
in certain limits. These rights he en-
deavored to sell to the board a couple
of years ago, but, as a disagreement
arose between him and Frank Thorn
ton, the present owner, over what was
to be done with the proceeds, the deal
was declared off. This summer Mr..
Sutherland offered to sell, his rights
to the board for So. 700, he claiming that
the disagreement had been bridged
over. The board did not consider his
rights as worth anything, and declined
the offer. At the last meeting of the
board Mr. Sutherland communicated
to the board that he intended to avail
himself of his rights, and would build
Wednesday evening Mr.. Sutherland
was arrested for trespassing on the
boulevard at Lake Harriet. Trepass-
ing was committed by load of lumber
being hauled over the road, the lumber
to be used for the building of the
house Saturday a conference was
held between Mr.. Sutherland and the
park board committee on shore rights
and privileges, and Mr.. Sutherland is
said to have emphatically asserted that
he would build; also that the building
would cross the lower road of the
boulevard at the south shore. The
meeting did not end in any sort of
agreement.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Sutherland
appeared in the municipal court to an
swer to the charge of trespassing. BY
mutual consent the case was dropped.
The next move to be made will be
on the part of the park board, which
will ask for an order restraining Mr..
Sutherland from building at the lake
as contemplated

EMMA HAAS IN JAIL.
Joan of the Plum Creek Strikers
Under Arrest,

PITTSBURG, Pa, Sept. 13-Emma
Haas, the miners Joan of Arc, and
three other women were arrested for
marching at Plum Creek this morning
by sheriff's deputies The attempt TO
make the arrests precipitated an in
cipient riot in which the deputies Jared
badly. No one was seriously hurt, but
scarcely deputy escaped a clubbing,
and Supt. Sam De Armitt was cut on
the hand. Two women arrested car
ried babies.
The riot was the result of a care
fully planned attempt to prevent the
men at work at Plum Creek from en-
tering the mines. There were TWEEN
ty-five women and about fifty strikers
concerned in it. The plan was to have
the women march in front with their
babies, with the design of working on
the sentiments of the men who would
be going to work and to act as a shield
to the rest of the party. The women
were to crowd around each man and
as he attempted to go into the mine
take his dinner bucket from him aid
then throw it into the ditch.
About daylight the party started out
headed by Emma Haas. Those not
having badly carried a pick handle
or a club of some sort. On the Muir
raySVille road they encountered a
posse of deputies and were ordered
back to the camp. No attention was
raid to the order, and the party tried
to force their way through the lines
of the deputies A scuffie followed and
Emma Haas and three other women
who were in the lead were arrested
scene of wild excitement then en-
sued. The moment deputy laid hands
on a woman he was surrounded Dy
others, waving clubs in the air and
using them on the head of a deputy
when the opportunity offered. Deputy
Walker was severely dubbed, and 5.
c. De Armitt was cut in the hand. He
says he was attacked by a woman
with a knife. The deputies finally got
their prisoners into the company sta
BILE, and later brought them to this
city, where they were lodged in the
county jail.
The names of the women arrested
are: Emma Haas, Mrs. John Kosar,
Mrs Frank Haas and Mrs. Eisner.
Mrs Kosar and Mrs. Eisner had their
babies with them.
After the removal of the prisoners
from Plum Creek, the excitement sub
sided and the women and strikers re-
turned to camp. The reason more of
the women were not arrested was that
four or five deputies were required u
hold one of them, and the force was
not large enough to take charge of the
crowd

dent, in Crete, were effectually silenced
by letter from that young man MINI

his brother, DR.. Arthur G. Thorpe, of

All doubts as to his being alive were
practically dispelled by the in
formation on that subject printed IN
the Glob yesterday, and the forego-
ing letter settles the matter conclu-
siveIy. George evidently left Athens
within a day or two of mailing the let

ALL SORTS OF STORIES OF COR

ING TOLD.
THEIR EYES OPENED AT LAST.
Ten-Day Clause in the Compromise
Farce, Says DOlan-PittsburS
Will Secede.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Sept. 13.-The ma
tional bituminous coal miners strike
of 1897 wilHprobably be the last of the
kind for the present generation, and
hereafter the difficulties arsieg through
wage disputes will likely be settled by
states and districts, and revolution
may be expected in differentials favor
ing other states, as the Pittsburg min
ers have had. their .eyes opened.
Delegates arriving from the Columbus
convention tell stories of how barrels
were tapped at Columbus, Chicago and
Wheeling, and how delegates hired by
Illinois and West Virginia operators
tried to prolong the strike so as to
weaken the Pittsburg district, to enable
them to get some of it's immense ton
mage, c.l
| NJ d. Ratchford, national president,
and Patrick Dolan, district president,
both expressed themselves privately
that they were thoroughly disguised
with the action of the delegates from
Illinois and West Virginia and the GU
pidity of some Ohio delegates who
wished to continue the strike for po-
Ht1cal reasons. Tonight President Do
Ian met in conference with the original
committee of seven, representing the
Big Thirteen, or lake shippers.
After the meeting Dr. Dolan said
he had told the operators that the ten
day clause in the Columbus settlement
was farce and that he would not
interfere in any way with any miners
who wished to return to work tomor-
row or any day before the ten days
had expired. 1t is the present inten-
ton of making concerted effort to
have the Pittsburg miners in a body
secede from the national organization
and form an organization for this dis
trict alone. The facts concerning the
Columbus convention will be laid be-
fore the delegates to the convention
Wednesday and it is believed the whole
district will be running in full by
Thursday morning.
The miners of the Eclipse, Hackett,
| Nottingham and Germania, on the
| Wheeling division, met today and after
hearing report from the delegates to
| Columbus, decided to ignore the ten
| days clause and to resume work in
the morning. The miners in the vicin-
| ity of Mcdonald tried to get into the
| pits, and it is believed that by Thurs
day the mines will generally have re-
sumed. The men at Osceola mine will
also be at work in the morning. Meet
ipgs were held today all over the dis
| trict and in anticipation of a general
resumption, the operators have every
| thing in readiness for the diggers to
| begin work at moments notice.

the explorer sent out the messages in

to fly over a small town called Idaville,
near here, and was next seen when
it alighted on Farmer Weekman's
house. Its capture was easy, but, III
getting the bird down, it was injured
and died this morning. It's right foot
had small aluminium band around

The question of including in the charter
rules with regard to the matter Of sparkling

ent system was then brought up by Commits
sioner Jones, who stated that St. Paul sprnk-

MRS. CRAYs SWORN IN
AS Member of the Board of Tax Levy
of Hennepfn County.

The board of tax levy met yesterday and
after organizing adjourned until Sept %,
when the members will get down to business
and fix the rate of taxation for next year.
Messrs. Folwell, Pratt and Crosby were not
present at the meeting, and when it was
called to order only Auditor Minor, Chairman
wilkins, of the county board, Wallace G.
Nye and Mrs. Crays, of the school board,
were present. Mr.. Nye was elected chairman.
There was some little discussion over the
Crays matter. Mrs. Crays, president of the
school board, took the oath required, and be-
came a member of the board of tax levy,
and then came fear that something might
happen if she served.
Auditor Minor interviewed the county at
torney, who saw no obstacle in the way,
but said he would look up the matter and
give his opinion later. AS far as he could
see, Mrs. Crays was legally member of
the school board, and the special law for
Hennepin county made the pesident of the
school board member of the board of tax
levy. The constitutional amendment al
lowing women to vote upon school questions
did not conflict, as it did not specify any
place where she should not vote, and at any
rate she would be voting on school business
when she cast her vote with the board of tax
levy. He will deliver his legal opinion in a
few days.

MRS. BLIxT SEEKS DIVORCE.
She Is Tired of Bondage to a Life
Convict.


Ellen Julia Blixt has grown weary OF
the bond that binds her to. Claus B!ixt,
and during the present term of court,
her action for a divorce against him
will be tried. At the time the prison
doors closed upon the self-confessed
murderer his wife was more than US
ually affectionate toward him, and
there was no hint of any such action
A lifetime was quite a span to wait
however. and the wife has finally
sought the advice of lawyer and the
rooms of a court of justice.
The complaint recites the confession
of the husband, and the fact that he
is a felon in charge of the state, in the
penitentiary. While this complaint will
be served upon the husband, there will
he no answer. as there could be none in
the case, and so BliXt will not be
brought back to Minneapolis to defend
the suit Frank M. Nye is the attor-
ney for Mrs. BliXt, and the divorce
will be very easily secured under the
circumstances.
