ten years fight between Duluth, Mimi, and
Superior Wis. two rival towns at the Western end
Of Lake Superior, has found Its way into the Sen
ate.
Just now tn towns distinct and separate
Between them flows u little arm Of Lake Superior
called by courtesy the St Louis River and II is
famous in the annals of the Northwest as was the
Rubicon In the time Of Caesar. As long as that
stream OF water remains unbridged Just so long
vii. Duluth remain Duluth and Superior be known
as Superior. But in the dreadful days 10 come,
when bridge shall span the river II Is likely that
This makes the doughty residents Of Superior IL
awake at night, distressed with fearful dreams,
while they stand on the shore of the dividing
stream and hurl defiance 10 their all-encroac ny
rival.
The bill authorizing the bridge passed Congress
some time ago. but now more time L. asked, and
some changes in the charter suggested. The
material furnished by Pennsylvania steel men is
lying at the site OF the bridge. and Senator Quay
daily presses the enactment OF the additional leg

periorites stands guard and objects, so that the
bridge Is literally suspended In midair.

Murphy interrupted saying:

of thing Is very disrespectful 10 the Court. This Is
no place for such exhibitions If you gentlemen
