DAYS Grace

The supreme court has rendered a
decision which is of vast interest as
fixing the days OF grace on Il promis-
sorry note. The case originated in
South Dakota and the action was
brought upon a promissory note,
against the principal and the indoors
er, which note was due on Dec. L, 1895
which was Sunday. The note was en-
titled to days of grace, and on the
5th of December was presented for
payment and protested. The indor-
ser on the note contended that the
time for which it was given had ex-
pired on the 4th of December and
that failure to pres ut IL before ITS
expiration released him. The con-
tention OF the plaintiff was that as
the note became due on Sunday, the
three days OF grace did not end until
the 5th, and the note was presented
before the expiration of the time.
The holding Of the court is, in effect.
that days Of grace are really a part Of
the time which a negotiable instru-
ment has to run, and that holidays
and Sundays cannot be counted out.
That where the time expires on Sun
day the presentation should be on the
day previous. The conclusion is that
the last day of grace on the note in
controversy in this action was Dec. 4,
and not having been presented for
payment and protest until the 5th,
the indorser was discharged"

Such is tho Fine Imposed on The Game
Law Breakers by Judge Ensign.

William Kingston, Henry Connors
and John Bowman, OF Tower, came
before Judge Ensign OF the District
court Thursday and pleaded guilty of
having 100 partridges in their poses
sion. The trio had previously plead
not guilty to the indictment charging
them with having 500 birds out of
season, The change In the plea was
by the consent Of the county attorney.
Judge Ensign lost no time in sentenc-
ing the prisoners to IA fine OF $40 a
bird, amounting in all to 81, loo. The
fine was Immediately paid and the
three were discharged. Deputy Game
Warden Philip engineered the CAP
ture OF the three victims. They had
when captured 500 birds in their pos
ession between Tower and Embarras
river where the warden found the
birds and brought them to Tower.
While the spoils were locked up in
Tower in what was deemed safe quar-
tiers, they were stolen and removed.
The warden however obtained track
OF their whereabouts and found $50
scattered along the county road where
they had been thrown by some one.
The trio did well in pleading guilty
to having loo birds as 1t would have
been hard to surmise what the out
come would have been had they been
found guilty according to the indict-
ment returned against them by the
recent grand jury. 500 birds at S1o
apiece would mean small fortune.

The Southall Mine.

Work at the Southall mine is being
vigorously pushed as fast as the small
crew employed can push it. The shaft
has reached depth of % feet and is
a solid mass Of ore which has already
been penetrated d distance of four
feet. The body is we'll defined and it
is almost an assured fact that a large
body of ore is at hand. The ore is q
hard magnetic and is Of a very good
grade. Some machinery will be put
in the cOmming summer. Quite q
stockpile of ore necessarily raised
during the process of development is
at hand.

FOR GOVERNOR.
Judge Cnllirs has Declared himself q
Candidate.

There no longer remains doubt
about the intentions of Judge Collins
position as regards the Republican
nomination for governor of this state
II Is said says the Duluth Tribune.
lie is candidate and will not with
draw. He and Van SAINT are the
recognized candidates for the NOM
ination though Eustis is said to still
entertain hope that he can carry
Hennepln county and perhaps show
some strength before the convention
that may pull him through. Strong
efforts have been made in certain
quarters to discourage Judge Collins
and cause him to Withdraw, but it is
learned that he Is now a fatfooted
and active candidate and will continue
such up to the day of the convention.
A well known politician of Duluth
said In substance few days ago.
Judge Collins has looked the field
over carefully, and, after talking with
a great number of leading Republicans
In various sections of the state, deems
t his duty to remain in the field as 4
candidate for governor, and his friends
will organize and put up the best
fight possible. The prospects for his
nomination are growing brighter
every day. A great many of the
Republicans that have been nominal
ly Wan SAINT men are sensibly affected
by the anti-machine sentiment which
Is gaining strength all over the state,
and they are very much afraid that II
nominated he would make a weak
candidate at the polls. Everybody
realizes that Judge Collins would
moke the best kind of timber for
governor, and that he would make by
all odds the strongest run of any man
that has been mentioned. His record
is clean and he is recognized every
where as a very able man. He is
good speaker and wonderful
campaigner.
There is no denying the fact that
the people all over the state are Begin
ming to realize that Collins would biz
| the strongest candidate that could BIZ
nominated. After his visit to Duluth,
and it was announced in some of the
twin city papers that he was likely to
withdraw, The Republicans Of the
whole state that were not favorable
| to the Van SAINT nomination became
aroused and were fearful that Collins
might withdraw. They at once be-
gan sending him kilograms and letters
urging him to stay in the fight, and
assuring him Of their hearty support.
The pressure has been so great that
Judge Collins could not now with
draw even if he had had any inten-
| tion of doing So"

A Find of Copper,

A queer state of affairs and one
which biologists cannot fathom very
quickly was the find at the Montana
shaft at the Minnesota mine last
week of a large lump of copper. The
Tower Journal in speaking OF the
find says: "One day last week the
miners working on the seventh level
in the Montana shaft Of the Mime
sofa Iron company's property at this
place, uncovered chunk Of copper
of several tons in weight. This is a
very particular discovery indeed, and
one which mining experts are unable
to explain. Once or twice before
small pieces of copper have been found
but little attention was given it, the
last find, however, is SO large and con-
ditions so peculiar that it is exciting
considerable interest in mining Cir
cles.
The deposit was found in rich bed
of hemetite iron ore seven hundred
feet below the surface and us yet it is
not determined whether it is begin
ing of extensive copper veins or not.
1t is understood that the Minnesota
people will thoroughly investigate the
matter and the result of the investi-
CATION will be watched with consider
able interest.

a Daring Burglar.

Mrs. Mary E. Dobbins had a very un
pleasant experience on Friday night. Sht
is the owner of the Camp woods neal
Vincentown, and with her daughter Flor
ence, lives in house on the edge of thu
woods.
About midnight on Friday Mrs. Dob
bins was awakened by some sound. Sht
found that the light she keeps burning al
night had gone out Mrs. Dobbins arose
to relight the lamp when she was seizeC
by some one who endeavored to choke
her. She succeeded in screaming loudly
and awakened her daughter, who at once
went to her mothers assistance.
The intruder then turned his attention
to the daughter and tried to drag hel
down stairs. The young lady struggled
to such an extent that the burglar was
obliged to use considerable force, but was
finally obliged to relinquish his grasp anG
make his escape.
In the meantime Mrs. Dobbins had beer
to the window calling for help. Hel
neighbors are quite a distance from hel
house. but after considerable effort she
succeeded in arousing some of the farm
ers in the neighborhood, but by the time
help arrived the burglar had escaped.
An investigation showed that the burg
lar had effected an entrance by climbing
on shed and forcing open window il
the second story. The women awoke il
time to prevent anything being stolen. NJ
trace has been discovered as to the iden
tity of the intruder.

The papers that have been so anxious
about successor to Bob" Hutchinson
on the State Republican committee, will
have to hold their breath for couple of
years. His term does not expire until the

lied by the election of Col. Nathan
Haines, of Burlington, chairman, and

vention were: Vice President, Hon. Henry
