Fighting Bob's Disgust.

When the Santiago guns began to bark
at Simpsons fleet.
Fighting Bob paced the deck planks of
his ship on hostile feet,
And as over his warlike head the Span
ish shells so harmless flew,
He INDUCED in chosen words that gave
the air tinge of blue.
Not q single shell found Judgment in
the body of his ship,
But they gamboled over the waters far
away with lamblike skip,
And the surgeons sat inactive as each
man held his place
With "never-touched-m smile upon
gallant sailors face.
When the fusilade was DER,
When the guns had ceased to roar,
And the calm of quiet followed the
commotion.
Fighting Bob with wag Of head,
Sneered disgustedly and said:
"They didn't hit q damthing but the
ocean,"
With scream Of eagle ferceness, like
sharp Sagastan swear,
Every Shell but stabbed a puncture in
the Santiagan air,
Which created the impression with our
gallant Yankee tars,
That the Dons were only having target
practice at the stars,
Long and loud the cannons beloved
from the forts along the shore,
The reverberating echoes dying with a
sullen roar,
While we answered them with vlgor,
and so quite effectively,
That their forts were soon converted
into tangled debris.
Then when We ceased the fright
full noise,
Bobby gazed upon the boys.
Who had worked the heated guns with
such devotion,
And he said with knowing wink,
"They are handles, don't think
They didn't nit damthing but the
ocean,"

VICTORY Fur THE SISTERS
The House of the Good Shepherd Is
Vindicated.

The House of the Good Shepherd Is
INDICATED.
The jury in the case of Selma Clewett
against the house of the
Good Shepherd for $4,000 dam
ages for alleged false impris
onment rendered verdict in favor
Of the defendant, and thus ends one of
the most notorious and long drawn out
cases ever tried in Ramsey county. The
jury retired at o'clock Thursday after
noon and after an all-night session the
verdict was agreed upon at 1890 Friday
forenoon, July l. When court convened
at 10 o'clock the jury asked for further
instructions. and Judge Otis read a
portion OF his charge on which more
light was wanted. The court stated
that it was glad to know that the jury
was still working on the case and that
he hoped they would be able to see their
way to conclusion. The jury then re-
tired and in about half hour a verdict
was returned as stated.
This was the fourth trial of the case,
the first three trials resulting in a dis
agreement.
In all the several trials of the case
have consumed SO days and there will
have been paid in fees to Jurors about
$1,000; bailiffs' fees, $3.50; meals for
jurors, $l20; attorneys fees, $4,000; wit
ness fees, $1,000 The total cost to the
county of the four trials, including the
salaries of the judges, is estimated at
$4,000.
This hard-contested trial was con-
Quoted by Attorney Butts for the plain
tiff, who is an erring woman taken to
the institution after giving birth to an
illegitimate child. At the instigation
of the A. P. A. element she brought suit
to recover damages for alleged detention
against her will. Her attorney and one
Lawton. the latter being publisher of
the White Bear Breeze, made a pathetic
appeal to the anti-Catholic bigots of the
entire country for funds and the beetle
"-O"SN 0uPSo AOopOAuCu Will y.
AS long as there was disagreement of
the jurors, Butts and Lawton called for
cash and continued the suit to the an
noyance of the defendants and at the
expense of the county. Now that vcr
dict has been rendered against their
client they cannot bleed their dupes any
longer, and have to resort to other
questionable methods for livelihood.
The attorney displayed a vindictiveness
during the trials which Is not calculated
to advance him in the legal profession.
His demeanor was insulting to the Sis
tiers examined and he was reprimanded
several time by the judge and attorneys
for the defendants. The final outcome
is grand triumph for the Sisters and
their noble institution. The jurors in
the last trial are to be commended for
their verdict. EX-Attorney- General
Clapp, J. d. and C. D. O'Brien and
Pierce Butler conducted the case of the
Sisters with zeal and ability and de-
serve the gratitude of all respectable
citizens.

from so to rs per cent. The five or
