standing that all of the other cases will
abide by the result.
When the cases were called yester-
day forenoon the defendants, through
various attorneys, moved that the ap-
plication of County Treasurer Elmurd
for personal judgment against the
stockholders of the suspended banks be
dismissed. The stockholders contended
that the remedy of the county treas
urer was against the stock itself-that
is, that the county could not proceed
against the bank stockholders as in
Gividuals and take personal judgment
against them for the amount of the
unpaid tax, but could only follow the
stock and sell it.
Judge Willis denied the motion of
the defendants, holding that, while the
county had the right to proceed as set
forth by the defendants, such remedy
was not exclusive.
The defendants were then compelled
to rely upon the issues of law set up
in their answers and go to trial there
on. AS all the cases are identical in
the principle, that of L. E. Shields, a
Stockholder of the Bank of Minnesota,
was selected as the test case.
The answer, after stating the prelim-
mary facts, alleges that the assess
ment of the stockholders as individuals
was improper and illegal It recites
that it has been the custom of the
county assessor to assess the capital
stock of banks in bulk, and to levy the
tax thereon which tax is paid by the
banks, the banks deducting from the.
dividends on their stock enough to pay
the tax levied. 1t is alleged that the
county assessor proceeded in the usual
manner in the cases of the suspended
banks, by assessing the banks for ths
amount of the stock of each, but that
after the assessors books had reached
the county auditor, that official pro-
ceeded to get after the stockholders
individually, the banks having in the
meantime failed. It is claimed by the
defendants that the auditor made UP
the assessments through the informa-
ton conveyed by explanatory notes in
the back of the assessors book con-
tanning the assessments of bank stock,
these notes giving the names of all the
stockholders in each bank and the
amount of stock owned by each.
The stockholders therefore contend
that the assessment of the stockholders
individually was Illegally made. The
answer also maintains that the scle
remedy of the county is against the
stock itself, which stock, it admits, is
now of no value.
The trial of the test case, being un-
finished at 5 p. m., will be resumed be-
fore Judge Willis at 10 a. m, Monday
County Attorney Anderson and Assis-
tant County Attorney Zollman were

GRAND JURY IDEAS

sENTED TO THE DISTRICT
COURT.

VERY WELL.

To Permit the Separation of the Ju-
yeniIe From the Older Class OF
Offenders.

The labors of the October grand jury
are over. Yesterday afternoon that
bodv submitted it's final report to Judge
Brill, in the absence of Judge Lewis
and was discharged. The report is as
follows:
We find the Jail and workhouse IN
excellent condition. They have much
less number of inmates than there has
been for a number of years. we ma
cases at the workhouSe where persons
have been sent out twenty-seVen times
for drunkenness and the sentence On
the twenty-seventh time was ten days.
We would call the attention of the mu-
nicipal Judges to the Scheffer law, SO
called.
The city and county hospital was
visited, and, after close ana luil eA-
animation. the grand jury concluded
that it was both humanely and eco
nomically managed. The wards and
rooms are well arranged for the care
and treatment of inmates, and the help
employed proficient, as we'll as loyal
to the interests involved. The lnStltu-
ton. to our mind, is managed with
ability, and is a credit to the coIhlnuhl-
ty that supports it.
The moor farm is in excellent condi-
ton. and there is every evidence OF
comfort and contentment among the
inmates Of whom there are at present
sixty y-eight-fifty-four men and four-
teen women. The committee learned
that the poor farm had furnished farm
produce to the city and county hospital
to the amount of some $1,000 over and
above what had been used at the aims
house The institution is to be COM
mended as a model of it's kind.
All the police stations were visited
and found to be in good condition. The
grand Jury recommends that pair OF
new horses be purchased for the Du-
cas- street station, as the present team
having been in service for ten years, is
worn out A new roof for the Marga-
ret street station is also recommended
in order to preserve the building.
Concerning the county offices, the re-
port is: as follows:
1--WE have inspected various DEPART
ments of the city and county and make
the following recommendations: The
city clerks Office has charge of the bal
lot boxes We find a very large num-
Der of these ballot boxes in very bad
order and recommend that they be re-
paired at once.
The county auditors vault room for
storage and safe keeping of records
is very inadequate We recommend
the proper increase of vault room.
County treasurer's office, the door be-
tween the vault and the abstract Of
flee is merely sheet iron. For protec
ton against fire and theft we recon-
mend that a brick wall be built in the
doorway.
Municipal court, we recommend that
the room now used by women prison
ers be divided by a partition to sepa-
rate the juvinile offenders from the
adult prisoners. We consider the pres
ent manner of associating these two
classes very demoralizing.

WILL BE BURIED HERE.
Grover, Last but One of n
Great Family.

Abraham Grover, the old soldier who
died at the city hospital Thursday
night from a dose of poison, will be
buried today. Coroner Nelson decided
that under the circumstances an in
quest was not necessary. Growers S
mother, eighty-seven years of age, who
resides in Minneapolis was in the city
yesterday, accompanied by a friend,
and arranged for the funeral. The ser
vices will be held from Sleppy's under
taking rooms and the remains will be
inferred in Oakland cemetery. Grover
was a member Of Plummer Post, G. A
r., of Minneapolis. Julia Blake, the
woman who was with Grover when he
took the fatal dose, was released from
custody by the police yesterday.
Mrs Growers life has been darkened
for years, according to her story, be-
cause of her sons fondness for liquor
and said she:
You don't know what I have suf-
fered on account of that man. l can
never tell that. He has treated me
shamefully. 1t may seem strange to
hear me talk that way about my son.
He has always been a drinking man.
not visit saloons. I asked him to re-
form that we might live happily. He
said he would, but he didn't. He would
do nothing for me. A few weeks ago I
bought some wood for the winter, but
he would not so much as pile 1t.
"You may think that l don't care
that he is dead because 1 am not crying,
but it is so hard, so hard. Oh, this Is
an awful ending to sad and misspent
life
Mrs. Grover further Informed the
Globe that her husband and three
sons had served in the Civil war, and
that the husbands of her five daughters
had also participated in that struggle.
All these are dead. She alone has with
stood the wear of time, and is the sole
survivor of her family. The last family
tie was her profigate son, and although
by his death she is no worse off, ma
terially, than before, mothers heart
beats within the old wrinkled form, and
it may break.
Her only assured support for the fu-
ture is S12 a. month, which she receives
as the wife Of a soldier, who was killed

who faced Judge Brill yesterday for
arraignment, William F. Bickel ap-
peared to plead to the two new in

issory notes aggregating $2,2S5.

man Stevens, one of the witnesses for
the state, was anxious to leave for
Washington as soon as possible.
Mr.. Butler, after remarking that his
client had been indicted, he believed,
ten times, and that eight of the indict-
ments had been disposed of, gave

tinuance of the case until the Novem-
Der term. 1t was settled that argu-
ments on the motion should be heard

CLIFTON ON THE STAND.
Explains Certain Discrepancies In
the Reports on Stock.

Frank Clifton resumed the stand yes
terday in the trial of the case of the
Minnesota Packing and Provision COM
pany, before Judge Brill. Continuing
under the direct examination, by Mr.
Squires, Mr.. Clifton explained how the
losses of the Minnesota company had
been occasioned by poor markets and
the accumulation of unsaleable meats.
The inventories prior to the receiver
ship had been estimates, which ac-
counted for the discrepancies that ap-
peared when they were compared with
the inventories made since the appoint
ment of Receiver Merriam, which in
Ventories were based on actual weights.
The afternoon session was devoted
to the cross-eXamination of Mr. Clifton
by Mr. Kellogg, which will be resumed
on Monday at 10 a. M, to which time
court adjourned
The case has been on actual trial for
twenty days, not including Saturdays
and Sundays, nor other days on which
no session was held, and has thus COW
cred period over more than a month
Mr.. Squires was of the opinion yester-
day that the defense would have it's
testimony all in by Wednesday next.
