Luke F. Hughes. Of $40 st. Peter street.
is a puzzled man. Since Monday he has
been investigating the subject of holes in
the ground, and yet there is no light upon
the matter which is giving him unrest If
mind. After the Sunday night storm he
found, In his back yard, hole in the
ground three feet In diameter, circular at
the top, and ten to twelve feet deep. The
hole was not there the previous night,
and, so far as he was able to recollect,
no one had been digging angleworms
there for a week. But the hole was much
in evidence, and he nearly fell into 1t
upon leaving his back yard Monday
morning.
An examination of the sides of the
strange visitor showed no marks of spade
work, and there was no clew as to the
way 1t happened to be there. He took
the longest pole he had in the house and
cautiously pried into the dark recesses of
the assure. He could not strike bottom,
and hunted up longer one. Solid earth
was found underneath, fact which re-
lieved him of the uncomfortable suspi-
cion that the powers of darkness had pre-
pared direct route to the Styx for him.
Thanking Providence that his unwary
steps had not taken him into the opening,
he at. last decided that heaven had IA
vored him with a special dispensation in
the shape of garbage depository, and
he filled 1t up with refuse and rakings
from his front yard. No satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION Of the phenomenon has yet been

He Had Imprudently Displayed His
Money and He Was Waylaid.
John Miner was taken to the city hos
pital late yesterday afternoon from the
Northern Pacific yards. He was found
by police officer near the Mississippi
street bridge, and bore marks of rough
handling. which testify to the truth Of a
report given the police that he had been
set upon by several unknown men who
wished to secure a sum of money which
he had imprudently shown while in a
cobbler shop kept by John Clark, 753 Mis-
sissippi street, about 5 o'clock in the aft
ernoon.
Miner entered the store to get pair
Of shoes which he had left to be mended
and when he received them offered a $40
bill In payment for the work. Several
men were In the store at the time. The
cobbleF was unable to change the bill
and the man left, taking a direction to-
wards the Northern Pacific tracks
Shortly afterwards the men in the store
left and followed. After he had gone
some distance down the tracks they set
upon him with the intention of robbing
him of the bill. He resisted and his as
sailants ran away. DR.. Robillard was
called and dressed his wounds, and the
Margaret street patrol wagon took the
man to the city hospital, but all efforts
to secure his story of the attempted rob-
berry were futile, as he was under the in
fiuence of drink and unable to give any
account of his actions. He is thirty-four
year old, and is reported to live on Mis-
sissippi street. A severe brutse on the
back of his head and several cuts on the
face bear evidence of struggle with his
assailants No arrests have been made,
and the Margaret street station officers
are looking for the robbers.

LATTER DAY SAINTS.
Elder Hansen Speaks In Defense of
Their Erraud Here

John Hansen Jr., of Riverton, Utah,
one of the Latter Day Saint elders, who
is now In the city, takes exception to
some of the representations that have
been made concerning their work here
He says:
Persons knowing about the operations
of the Mormon" elders need no refuta-
ton to the balderdash imposed on that
assembly; but many might be misled,
and for their benefit in general and the
prominent members in that class In par
ticular, we state that all assertions about
inducing young women to go to Utah Is
fabrication from the whole cloth. Is 1t
possible that the same spirit which ex-
PEELED religious bodies from England and
lit the torch of religious persecution in
other places, in times past, is now mani
Testing itself upon the heads Of a de-
fenseless people?
The elders of the Latter Day Saint
church are here to preach the Gospel as
set forth in the Bible.
Polygamy is a thing OF the past. The
president of the Mormon" church, Mr..
ture of Dec. 80, 1885, states emphatically
that such marriages have ceased. Again
the Detroit News, official organ of the
Mormon" church, of April Is, 1899, says:
I'VE wish it to be known that the Church
of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints has
ceased to teach the doctrine Of plural
ity of wives, and that no one, male or
female, is authorized to promulgate it,
We invite comparison with any one Of
religious views, and stand open for con-
viction upon the side of the strongest
evidence, as produced from the Flaw and
the testimony"

DRAINAGE OF LAKES.
A Case of Importance to BE Argued
In Supreme Court.

A Case of Importance to BE Argued
In Supreme Court.
There has been@a great deal of COM
plant during the last few years of the
drainage of meandered lakes throughout
the state. Thousands of small lakes are
scattered all through the central and
northern part of the state, and as the
average evaporation is much greater than
the precipitation, it is a matter of vital
interest to the communities in which
these bodies are situated. A great deal
of local litigation has arisen because of
the drainage of government meandered
lakes by nonresident parties who own
the shore line property. BY running a
ditch to some adjoining lowland or stream
the water is drained off and the land be-
comes the property of the people who
own the shore.
Lieut.. Gov. Gideon S. Ives came up last
evening with the county attorney of Mic
ollet county to argue the case before the
court today. He told a G o b reporter
that a great deal of local interest was
being taken in the cases and rather fine
point In legal Jurisprudence was involved
in the case.
Several decisions bearing upon the
right of these owners to drain meandered
lakes have been handed down recently
said Mr.. Ives, land we have carried this
one 10 the supreme court TO get maj
decision. Our people are interested in
seeing that this drainage is stopped, and
the test case which we will plead tomor-
row is one brought by a farmer living
near one of these lakes to restrain the
owners of the rest of the shore line from
taking the water away from the lake
Nearly all these lakes in Nicollet county

OLD CASE IN NEW GUIsE.
Weber Suit Against Street Railway
in Court of Appeals.

in Court of Appeals.
Arguments were concluded in the
United States circuit court of appeals yes
terday in the case of John B. Weber, as
administrator of the estate of John E.
Weber, against the ST. Paul City Rail-
way company, being an appeal from the
district of Wisconsin.
The case is one that several years at
tracted considerable attention in the
Ramsey county district court, and as
sumes renewed interest from the nature
of the present action. John E. Weber
was injured in a street car collision on
West Seventh street, in this city, Nov.
1, 1885, SO that he was afterward para
lyzed. Suit was instituted in the Ramsey
county district court for $50, 900, and Web
Der was awarded, $50 damages. The de-
PENDANT, however, secured a new trial on
the ground Of errors in law, and in an
appeal to the supreme court by Weber
the order of the district court was af-
firmed. Shortly afterward Weber died
Then John B. Weber, as administrator,
brought another suit In the Ramsey coun-
ty court for $1,000 for his brothers death
This suit was finally dismissed
Later the case again came up, this time
on new grounds, in the United States cir
cult court The administrator sued to re-
cover $4,000 for medical services and in
capacity to John E. Weber before he
died. The complaint does not allege the
street car accident as the cause of Web
ber's death. The defendant demurred to
the complaint in this action on the
ground that the cause of action had
ceased to exist with Webbers death
Judge Lochren sustained the demurrer
and the case was appealed to the circuit
court of appeals.
