EPISTLES TO ST. PAUL.

Sam Fullerton, from his experience as
game and fish warden, is naturally pro-
life in fish stories. and nothing pains him
more than to have anyone spin tougher
yarn than his. He was in the auditors
office yesterday, discussing the question
of the best trout fly, when somebody
turned the conversation to the subject of
catfish.
Il can we'll remember the old days,
when the catfish used to be so large and
numerous in the Mississippi river that
they impeded the steamboats,, said
George Flynn.
''Huhr' observed Mr.. Fullerton. You
all have heard of old Catfish Pete, who
used to live down on the river
Yes replied the audience unblushlng-
ly.
"Well, Pete had a monstrous catfish
that lived in his shanty with him and
was so fond of him that it used to follow
him about on land and water, like
dog"
what became of it?" asked Mr.. Dunn,
who was very much interested.
at broke it's back jumping after

was getting gray, anyhow, and
Everyone had stolen silently away
when Mr.. Fullerton looked around. He
had conquered.
"This new plan of naming the IRE en-
gines after the mayors is going to De

John Schultz yesterday to Jimmy Drum
mond, who had come in from the audi
tors office to study the maps.

appearance of interest

hoarsely Back up Mayor Doran to the
horseshed. and connect Mayor Kiefer
to a hydrant' Then Mayor Kiefer and
Mayor Doran turn two streams of muddy
water into my domicile and fr1ghten the
cat and ruin the furniture. There's
nothing like appropriate and picturesque
names for the engines.
That's all very well" replied Mr..
Drummond, ''but do you think it will be
a. popular move to attach Mayor Kiefer
to a hydrant?"
sNow, I'll tell you'' said the man with
the red Duff necktie. John Smith is not
such a bad name to carry around after
all. Your names Smith, isn't ft?'
Eyes, it is admitted the young man,
who wore ear-tp whiskers, rather dole

thinking about the John Smith who got

.True. it's common, but why not think
of the John Smith who saved a girl from

COURT HELD IN BRUSH.
Judges Elected to Jail Terms Hide
From Federal Authorities.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March 15-The
famous St Clair county bond case, tina
feature of which has been clash be-
tween federal and county courts for the
past twenty years, took a new turn today
when two of the St. Clair county Judges
a quorum held court somewhere in the
brush to evade service by United States
marshalS who are hunting for them to
serve summons for contempt
The old county judges. Gill, hewitt and
Lyons. were in Jail here until January
for contempt, many of their predeces-
sors had been before them. When their
terms expired in January they were re-
leased. the presumption being that their
successors would qualify and go to Jail
In their stead. Their SUCCESSORS how
ever, refused to qualify. Yesterday It
was learned that they intended to quail
fy and Marshal K. Durham went down
post haste to get service on them. He
found Peden and hewitt the judges-elect.
and fearing they would take to the brush
he waited to make no inquiries. but
served his summons Both men took the
papers, but left them on a fence-poSt,
and them went over to the court house
and were sworn In
BY the time Marshal Durham learned
that he had served his summons a few
moments too the judges had
mounted their horses and fastened out
of town. Today they sent for County
Clerk Campbell and held court in the
brush. thus outwitting the federal OFF,
GERS. It is only question of time now,
however. when the marshal will catch
them, and then they will go up to jail

srrDyIHc THE AMERICAN NAVY.

Had any one a year ago advanced the
idea that European powers would send
to this country naval officers to study, in
detail, the American navy, he might have
been the victim of considerable ridicute
Before the war with Spain 1t was not con-
sidered that we had a very formidable
navy. In discussing our naval resources
IL was pretty generally admitted that the
navy was our weak point, 1t remained
for Dewey and Schley to demonstrate
that such opinion was a popular error.
The present naval attache of the
French embassy at Washington is Lieut.
de Faramond. He but recently arrived
In this country, and he came for the ex-
pressed purpose of studying American
naval methods. A German naval attache
will soon follow Lieut.. de Faramond, and
other countries will. also, be represented
at an carly day by naval students, all
bent upon learning what they can of the
way we do it, Lieut.. de Faramond
says:
THE American navy las attracted
worldwide attention within the past
year and this IS leading European coun-
tries to send naval attaches to Wash
ington. This will be the first time that
the French government has had a naval
attache here. Since the Spanish Ameri-
can war this country affords splendid
facilities for naval study 1t was the
first real test of modern fighting vessels.
and naval science must draw its conclu-
sions largely from what the American
navy accomplished during the late war
In this connection it may be news TO

LEECH LAKE INDIANS.
Government Scouts the Report of a
Probable Outbreak


WASHINGTON, March 15.-The re-
ports of the likelihood of a renewal of the
trouble among the Indians at Leech
lake, Minnesota, are not credited at the
Indian bureau. Capt. Mercer, Of that
agency, in a letter received here a day
or two ago, referred to the rumors that
had been circulated, but said they were
traceable to the whites, and there was
no expectation of any disturbance While
the dissatisfaction of the White Rock
Indians, in Utah, in their dealings with
the government, has been officially re-
ported here by their agent, Commissioner
Of Indian Affairs Jones says there IS
nothing alarming in this situation, and
that If any step is taken by them it will
be, not in the nature of an outbreak
but return to their old lands in Col
orado. Commissioner Jones has notified
the agent that a representative of the
bureau will proceed there shortly to i'll
vestigate and report. The trouble dates
back for a considerable period, when
they delivered over their lands in Col
orado to the government, which was to
sell them at SIPS an acre. The Indians
were removed to Utah. and now they
want to return, claiming the government
has not kept it's promises.
