BRAUN GOT A VERDICT.
Northern Pacific Assessed $500 for
Ejecting His Son.

The jury in the case of John Braun
against the Northern Pacific Railway
company, which was on trial yesterday
before Judge Kelly in district court last
evening returned a verdict awarding the
plaintiff 5000.
Braun sued to recover s., 900 as damages
for being elected from one of the de-
PENDANTS trains. He alleged that on Aug.
he had purchased, in Cleveland, O., for
$109, tickets for the transportation of
himself, his wife, four children and two
other persons from Cleveland to Hebron
N. D. The tickets were purchased from
the officials of the New York, Chicago &
st. Louis Railway company, and included
transportation over the Northern Pacific
from St. Paul to Hebron. He was told
that no tickets would be needed for the
children, the eldest of whom was a boy of
eight.
Everything went we'll on the trip until
the Northern Pacific train pulled out of
st. Paul. The conductor demanded fare
for the oldest boy. and when It was not
forthcoming elected the lad from the train
at small station near Minneapolis The
plaintiff jumped off the train as it started
away, and was left stranded, so that he
was compelled to lodge two nights at q
police station, and when he finally reach
ed Hebron, found that the job he was
going to get, had been taken.
In defense the road admitted that the
youngster had been elected but alleged
that no road or person had authority to
guarantee transportation over the Great
Northern to an eight-year-old boy.

The workmen on the chimney had COM

to carry bricks and mortar to another
story higher up on the staging. The
ropes and supports used in the operation
of the hoist had not been securely fas-

Telephone Wires and Poles in the

The assembly committee on streets rec
commended for passage yesterday a reso-
luton directing all telephone and tele-
graph poles and wires in the Seventh
ward. east of Dale street, to be removed.
Assemblyman Thompson was opposed to
the resolution on the ground that it
might injure the Mississippi Valley Tel
ephone company and prevent the opera
ton Of the new system, by requiring the
company to build conduits on the hill.
He took the ground that, while it was all
right to beautify the streets in the Sew
enth ward, the thing should not be done
at the expense of the new telephone COM
pany.
Assemblyman Kirke denied that there
was any purpose other than to prevent
the Northwestern Telephone company
from spelling the paved streets on the
hill, and particularly in the district east
of Dale street, with unsightly poles and
wires. When the Mississippi Valley COM
pany was ready to do business in the
ward Mr.. Kirke said he would vote for
the company having a right to erect poles

ISSUE is VERY SMALL
PRESIDENT MORTON SAYS RE
PORTS OF FRAUDULENT CERTIF-
ICATES OF OCCIDENTAL
ARE GREATLY EXAGGERATED
The Arrest of jerks and Teeter In
Boston Followed an Investiga-
ton by a Representative Sent to
the Hub, but Details of His Dis
cOvery Haven't Reached st. Paul
as Yet.

There has been great deal Of exag-
geration in the dispatches announcing the
arrest of George W. jerks and Charles
H. Teeter at Boston on a charge of is
suing fraudulent certificates of stock in
the Occidental Mining Company of st.
PAU, according to A 8. Morton, presi-
dent of the company, who lives at 439
Portland avenue. The report said the
men We're captured at the United States
hotel onsthe specific charge of embezzling
$3.50 worth of certificates, and the repre-
sentative Of the company who investi-
gated the matter stated that millions of
dollars worth of the certificates had been
signed and many thousands of dollars
worth sold and The funds diverted to the
personal accounts of the prisoners.
1.-THE Occidental Mining company is not
a Golconda.' said President Morton last
evening. Il do not know anything about
the circumstances of the arrest except
what Is stated In the press reports, but I
do know that the matter has been greatly
exaggerated. Our mines are located out
in Montana with the general offices here
in st. Paul. Our capitalization is only
$l,OOO,OO0. We had heard some time ago
that there were Irregularities at the
Eastern end Of the line, and q represent
tative of the company was sent down to
investigate. They were comparatively
small matters. When I hear from our
representatives I will be better acquainted
with the circumstances.
However, it is all foolishness to state
that millions Of dollars worth of the Ger
tifcates have been issued and thousands
Of dollars worth foated.' So far as we
know the fraudulent issue is very small
Both Of the men arrested are Mime
apolis men, and the man jerks had no
connection whatever with the company
Teeter is merely a stakeholder and was
not in the East as the accredited agent of
the company"
