Incident Arose During ArratrD-
ment of Men Charged With Hav-
ing Conducted Policy shOp-
Not Ready for Trial.
Attorney Stan ]. DonnelIy had a tiIt
with Judge Hine in the nnunicinaI court
yesterday. as result of which the of
torney was fined $40 for contempt. After
declaring he proposed to test the question
as TO whether Or not he was amenable
10 the penalty Attorney Donnelly evident
~ concluded the easiest way out of the
situation was to settle, and so gave Clerk
Conroy his check for $40
The incident arose during the arraien-
nent or George Lawrence, Allen Kend
r1ck' Charles Morton, Edward Behind
and John Wilson, the men arrested dur
ing Mayor Kiefer's personal raid on an
alleged policy shop at "a East Third street
Saturday night. The prisoners had been
taken from the bull pen and were
standing before Judge Hine. Iawerence
was last in line. Attorney DonneIly ap-
preached Lawrence, and began talking
to him. Judge Hine noticed the two In
conversation, and ordered Lawrence to
remain before the court during arraign-
ment,
Il appear for the prisoner" remarked
Attorney Donnelly, land desire to consult
with him.
The prisoner is before the court now,
Mr. Donnelly." remarked Judge Hine
Does the court rule that 1 cannot con-
suit with my client?" asked the attorney
sit down, Mr.. Donnelly," commanded
Judge Hine. 1.-The prisoner will not be re-
quired to plead at this time"
Attorney Donnelly was evidently indlg-
nant at the turn of affairs, and refused
to be seated. Addressing Lawrence. he
said:
Refuse to answer any questions asked
you"
Mr.. Donnelly," broke in Judge Hine,
you are fined $40 for contempt of court"
well, we will see about it," replied the
attorney, and walked away
When things had Gained down a bit
Attorney Donnelly said he proposed to
test the matter if there was any way
to do so. He asked Judge Hine If he
would be interfered with by bailiff If
he attempted to leave the court room, but
afterward evidently decided upon another
course, as his check for the amount Of
the fine was placed in the clerks hand.
Judge Hines formal order concerning the
imposition of the fine says that Attorney
DonneIly's demeanor and remarks were
of an insolent nature.
The five prisoners were not ready for
trial, and the gambling charge against
them was continued until Friday. The
miscellaneous assortment of devices found
in the Third street rooms was piled up
in court during the proceedings. Lawer-
ence was released on $50 bail, while the
other prisoners were let out on SIS bail
each.

A KITCHEN COMFORT.
A Money Saver and Something
Every Housewife Needs.

Every Housewife Needs,
A fire which can be touched off with
match gives as much or as little heat
as you want, is perfectly free from dust
and ashes, and which can be turned off
or on at within fact, fire which pos
sesses all the advantages of COAL gas or
wood, especially the great advantage Of
economy, with none of the disadvantages
of wood or coal fire, is just what is
needed for comfort and efficiency. Wood
and coal or gas, or even gasoline, in St.
Paul and vicinity is too expensive for the
average housewife to burn Oil is the
best substitute, and so far as economy
goes it is about one-half as dear as the
common coal or Illuminating gas, at the
price charged in this city, and much
cheaper than wood. Then, as kerosene
oil is used in the Champion Oil Burner.
where 1T is made into gas before it is con-
sumed, there is absolutely no danger con-
nected with its use. These burners are
now being introduced in this vicinity.
thousands of them are in use and have
been for number of years, throughout
the South and Eastern and portion of the
Western states. A branch agency for
their introduction will soon be opened in
ST Paul Until then they will be on ex-
hlb1tion in Ryan Block, 1874 East Seventh
street, where the company's representa-
tive, Mr. Barnhisel, will be pleased To
point out all the excellent qualities of his
burner to the public, which Is cordially
invited to inspect it during the remaining
few days Of his stay in this city.

SPRUNG A SURPRISE.
Attorneys for Patrick Kelly Deny
Jurisdiction of Court.

W. G. Wedge and Charles Butts yester-
day appeared in the probate court, in the
hearing on their claims aggregating $3,61S
as attorneys fees for services rendered
Patrick Kelly. KeIly's estate is under the
guardianship of the st. Paul Trust COM
pany, which was represented by Harvey
Officer. The claimants sprung a surprise
by arguing that the court had no jurisdic-
ton, on the ground that the order of
Judge Harvey appointing the trust COM
pany as guardian was Illegal in that the
trust company was appointed guardian of
Kelly's property and not of his person.
They also argued that their client is of
sound mind and has no need of any guar
dianship, and should be left to settle his
bills himself. Judge Bazille continued the
hearing
