"A fight took place at the Daisy mill
dock on Sunday morning last, between
two gangs of stevedores over the load
ing of the steamer I. W. Nicholas, Mr..
Gill, who claimed to have the contract
for loading the boat and who brought
his men here from Duluth for that
purpose, having been roughly handled
10y the Walsh and Conley gang. J. Han
son, one OF GIL : men, was so badly in
jured that he had to be taken to St.
Francis hospital and later he was
transferred to his home in Duluth. The
boat was eventually loaded 10y the resi-
dent gang.
A man named Andrew Westerlund,
one of the inmates of the county poor
farm, was brought into the city on Tues
sday morning, who for the past two
years has been gradual y going out of
his mind, occasionally getting in des-
perate mood. Last Sunday he seems to
have been more desperate than usual 8,
securing large knife and attacking one
Of the female servants. He was pre-
vented from doing her anv harm, how
ever, and locked up until brought to the
city and lodged in the county jail for
examination. He was taken to Men
dota on Thursday evening
An individual who was Just boiling
over with goodness of heart, YESTERDAY
made a small boy. who was looking
with covetous eyes upon the vehicle,
a present OF Jeweler WilheIm's dog cart
and told him that when he had taken
the wagon home he might come back
and get the dogs. This the urchin con-
sidered a snap, and started towards his
home at Central Park with his prize i'm
mediatcly, but was overtaken by SIR.
Wilhelm, who informed him that the
wagon was his, much to the disgust of
the boy. Who the man is who PLAYED
the Joke on the boy is not vet known,
but his brains may be measured by his
cunning.
"A petition is being circulated in
ltasca for the extension of Third street
to a junction with the town road leading
to Eighteenth street. This is the road
for which money was appropriated by
the county board last fall. and which
they were prevented from constructing
on account of the opposition of the
owners of forty acres through which
the road will run. The owners of this
propert vented more for a right of way
than the board felt justified in paying
for it. If t city accedes to the request
of the petitioners end constructs the
road. the land through winch it runs
will be cOndemnep and the cost of
building charged to the land contiguous
to it.
DR.. Smith, secretary of the health
has refused to deliver up
the seals of office to DIR. g. I. Stack, DR..
Specht's choice for assistant, until his
has been ratified by the
common council. This seems to be ac-
cording to law. The old sanitary in
spectors and policemen are also report
ing for duty, with the exception of
Meat Inspector Rollin, the men APP
pointed to succeed them not having
been confirmed by the common council.
1t seems to us that the common council
might straighten ont the crooks III the
health department by confirming all
the appointments. 1t has the power
and should exercise it in the interests
of the good name Of the city.
WI visiting Capt. Mcneil on
board the steamer Thos. Cranage the
other day, We noticed that a most Won
derful convenience had been added
since our lake trip last year, and upon
noting The addition Of complete te.e-
phone service connecting the captain 5
deck with every other part of the boat,
we were informed by Capt Mcneil
that gentleman had boarded the boat
at Chicago a few Gays before, and asked
the privilege of putting the first instru-
ment on the Cranage. The captain
gave his consent, and, though there is
an occasional hitch, which it is ex-
pected will be overcome shortly, the
experiment is without doubt a success
capt. Mcneil says their is fortune in
the scheme for the inventor, and that
every captain will have his boat wired
at once.
The Memorial day exercises at the
Nelson Dewey, last Friday afternoon,
were especially enjoyable in the grades.
The children had been carefully drilled
