Tragedy on the Stand.
THE FATAL COCK FIGHT
county Attorney Connolly to Look Into
the Matter OF the Prosecution
Calling All Eye Witnesses
to the Stand

The trial of J. J. Neary for the muir
der of Alexander Murray was resumed
in Judge Clancy's court yesterday
morning with John Eakin on the wit
ness stand again. He said that when
Neary made rush for Murray. he
thought there would be trouble. and
he stopped down to get little hild
winch was in the way and his coat
was cut, presumably by one of the
Knife blows Neary struck at Murray,
Eakin was drinking at the bar when
murray came in and they were having
a drink together when Neary came in
the back door Of the saloon. from the
direction of the cock pit, where the
fght between Neary and Murray had
started. As the witness stopped to
pick up the child he was struck in The
back, and he looked around and saw
Neary and Murray in a scufle. The
witness carried the child away, and
when he returned the fight was over.
The saloon was crowded with men,
some of whom were trying to make
peace and others were trying to keep
out of the way of the knife.
Edward Bishop, the next Witness tes-
tined that he was a bartender at the
Boulevard house, where the murder oc-

distances which figured in the case, and

OF the saloon to the cock pit; the sa-

was. engaged in waiting on customers,
and the first he noticed was scuf11e
between two men. He did not know
either Neary or Murray.
John Fox said he attended the cock
fight on New Years day, but was not
present in the saloon when Neary
carved Murray. The witness said there
was dispute at the cock fight between
Neary and another man, named Con
Gibbons, about a bet. Some one came
along and showed Neary up against
the wall and then released him. and
Neary stepped up to the edge of the pit
and told Gibbons not to call him names,
whereupon Murray came up and struck
Neary blow on the mouth and
knocked him over against the seats.
The witness asked Murray why he
struck Neary and he simply smiled,
and when requested to do so by the
witness he left the room. About seven
or eight minutes later Fox heard that
Murray had been stabbed. After Muir
ray had struck Neary at the cock pit
a crowd held Neary and he "roared
and bawled like a mad man to get
out" said the witness. Fox said he did
not see Neary leave the cock pit and
contradicted the record of his testi-
mony at the coroner's inquest, where
he testified that Neary followed Muir
ray right out, but that he had been

Dug Up the $50.

Last week John Linbeck of this city
while in Duluth, had occasion to drop
into ''joint" kept by Roberts &
Swanson on Superior street between
Sixth and Seventh avenues. John
paid for what he got, but the ''big
mit'' gang were not satisfied and
while two held him the third went
through his pockets securing $50, the
barkeeper standing behind the bar
looking on. Linbeck notified police
headquarters and Chief Hanson sent
Detective Donovan to the place to
investigate in company with Linbeck.
According to Linbeck, Donovannever
went near the place, Linbeck in
formed Chief Garrison of this city
and Monday while he was in Duluth,
he made the proprietors disgorge the
money.
1t is surely queer state OF affairs
when city like Duluth with ample
police protection, will allow such
things to transpire in broad daylight.
During the past month, upon the
occasion of the various excursions,
the town has been overrun with pick
pockets and grafters and the police
have done nothing to protect visitors.
Appearances indicate collision of the
officers with the gang.

OF only 1876 and all of the changes are
in the personal property list and all
on mines.
The personal property aJ the Pho

assessor at $1,000, but the board or
dered it raised to $15, 900; the assessor
placed the valuation of the personal
property of the Minnesota mine at

S37, 900; the property of the Biwabik
is assessed at $37 900; and the Oliver
mine is reduced from $40, 24O to ST., 900.
This changes the valuation of the

Glad to Hear 1t,

I'm an exchange of opinions as to
which place is really hell, between the
respective editors of the Ely Miner
and Tower Journal, the Miner says:
Ely is the only town in the north
west where about $4,000 is monthly
distributed among its $500 inhabit-
ants, where people are alive, progress
sive, etc. Ely no doubt is a good
town but because prosperity has fin
ally reached it, must not forget that
there is one place close by which has
never felt the depressing influence of
hard times, where as large roll has
been discussed monthly for years and
where, during the past four years,
there has been an average of one new
building erected every week. That
place is Two Harbors. Ely no doubt
possesses the proud distinction Of being
the queen of the iron ranges. but
when the whole northwest is included
Two HarborS is the only place which
has yer known retrcgrade move

Minnesota fields and said that while
there was common labor in plenty
skilled miners are not as abundant as
he would like to see them. There are
few who train for the mining business,
the rising generation preferring to

Not Known Here.

A woman giving the name of Josie
Low was brought in from Ely Satur-
day and taken to the Woman's hos
pital. She attempted suicide at her
home Friday morning.
The woman is Pole and can speak
but little English. She managed to
tell however that she tried to cut her
throat with knife and her body
clearly shows that she made several
attempts at suicide. Her throat is
badly jabbed up with knife marks and
there are several cuts all over her
body. She has a husband and four
children but declines or is unable to
tell for what reason she attempted
suicide. The matron in charge of the
hospital questioned her very closely
as TO her purpose in making the at
tempt, but the woman would not say
what the difficulty arose over. Her
condition is not at all serious but she
will be kept here for a while as there
is some talk of inSanity.-NewS Trib-

A woman of that name has not been

Sunday was great day, weather

gun clubs and many visitors who
came up to spend the day.
The shoot took place after dinner

A Change in Discoveries.

A special from Duluth to the Min
neapolis Journal of Friday says:
There doesn't seem to be any end to
the mineral riches of the north shore
of Lake Superior. Gold and silver.
lead and copper, iron of all kinds are
in profusion, and now it is zinc, and
the richest and finest to be found on
the American continent, beside which
the mines of Joplin are poor. What
| is undoubtedly the richest zinc mine
so far opened in North America has
Just been sold for $254 900. 1t is on
the north shore of the lake, was open
ed last fall and has been shipping IS
to go per cent zinc since at,tle rate of
300 tons per month. When opened
there was no road TO the mine, no
opening on the property, no settle
ment near; but the zinc rose from the
surface in great cliff and could be
quarred like rock. and the results
achieved since then show what the
deposit is like. Lake Superior and
the Canadian Pacific road are but
twelve miles away, and teams have
been employed to haul the ore to the
road. whence it has been shipped to
Belgium for sale. The property orig
inally belonged to the Hunters of Du-
luth and Mcclellan of Fort William,
and for years they have tried unsuc-
cessfullY to sell it to leading zinc con-
sumers at a price that would TOW seem
ridiculously low. Last fail they fin
ally sold the property to few Ottawa
men. The new owners will build a
Il road from the mine to connect with
the Canadian Pacific at Rossport.
