DESTROYED THE DAM.
Indignant Citizens of Bemidji, MINI
Use Dynamite.

Indignant Citizens of Bemidji, Mimi,
Use Dynamite.
BEMDu, Mimi, May 29.-The Scalon
& Gypson dam, recently erected across
the Mississippi river at the outlet of
Lake Bemidji, was blown out by body
of indignant citizens during the even
ing. 1t was constructed without any
fishway and without an act of congress.
The back water from the dam flooded
the cellars Of many of the business
houses in Bemidji. The village board
of health formally condemned the dam
as an obstruction of the Mississippi
river, and ordered it's removal. The dam
had just been completed by Scalon &
Gypson for the purpose of running saw
logs from Lake Bemidji to Capa lake.
The water in Lake Bemidji had been
raised almost four feet by the dam and
had shutdown the Steid saw mill and
made dry bed Of the river for six miles
from the outlet Of the lake, completely
preventing the running of fish for a
month past. -.' - fa at~

ANOTHER FIRM FAILS.

Seymour, johnson & Co., Stock Brokers,
in Financial Trouble.
NEW YORK, May 29.-The failure of
Seymour, johnson & Co. has been an
nounced on the New York Stock and
Cotton Exchanges. The firm was Or
ganized in March, 1899. Its members
were Frederick w. johnson, Henry A.
Seymour and David Webster, the latter
said to be special partner for $50, 900.
Alfred Haynes, Jr., is the assignee of
the failed brokerage firm and Coudert
Bros. are named as the counsel. 1t is
said that the troubles of the firm are
due to commitments in the cotton
market. They had been long of cotton,
but turned to the short side two weeks
ago. In the stock market they have
been bears. No information can be OBJ
tanned as to the extent of their con-
tracts, but in the Stock Exchange they
are not believed to be large. Rumors
of financial troubles regarding the firm,
which were circulated at the time of
the Price, Mccormick & Co., failure,
precipitated the suspension.

ANoKA, Mimi, May 29.-Between s

discharge taking effect in his shoulder.
He is paralyzed from the neck down
and will die. ....
Mrs. Eliza Weis, his wife, was shot
in the back, the bullet coming out OF
the abdomen. Her left arm was shat
tered and if she lives it will have to be
amputated. .
William. a 7.year-old son, was shot

cheek. He was bending over when
struck and is dead. -:
Joseph Weis, IL years of age, was
shot through the right lung, two fingers

committed by two persons as there were
found outside the house shells from a
Winchester rifle and shotgun. Eleven
shots were fired in all.

How He Keeps Them Ont.

A barber thus explains how he keeps
undesirable customers out of his shop:
"If an outsider comes into my shop
and l find him undesirable. l get rid
Of him speedily. If he pays his check
with quarter or over. give him 10
cents more change than is coming to
him. That generally keeps him away,
as GROWERS are usually mean men. and
they stay away for fear Of being asked
for the overchange. If the mean man
just merely pays for his shave, the
next time he comes in ! ask him If l
did not overpay him in making change
in such way that he gets mad and
stays away. These are the methods
with which l keep the Objectionable
element out Of my shop, and they
work every time."-New York Trib-

WOODBURY. & MOULTON
Case in United States District Court All
Day Yesterday.

The Woodbury. and Moulton hearing
again occupied the attention of Judge
Webb in the United States District court
yesterday. In the morning session Theo-
dore @. Woodbury. and Edward H. York,
the two members of the defunct firm,
testified. 1hey gave direct testimony
which tended to corroborate their former
evidence. Mr.. Woodbury. stated that his
salary as one of the officers Of the Omaha
Water company had been turned over to
his wife who with this had paid out
standing bills.
The nearing was resumed in the AFTER
noon. Mr.. Verrill occupied some time in
presenting the side of his clients in
answering the Specifications made against
them by Mr.. Freeman One by one the
several specifications were taken up by
Mr.. Verrill who explained at length the
manner in which Woodbury. and M0ulton
had conducted their business especially
during the last few weeks preceding their
assignment, November 1st of last year.
Mr.. Verrill went Tito the details and con-
cluded by maintaining that his clients
had pursued perfectly proper and legal
course in applying to the court to be al
juged bankrupts
Mr.. freeman was then heard and ar
gued for over an hour. He brought out
all of the big books of the defunct firm
and took several OF them up to the desk
of the court that Judge Webb might per-
sonally examine the records,
"The evidence all shows, ''fsaid Mr..
Freeman at one point in his argument,
"that Mr.. Woodbury. showed the utm ost
indifference regarding the manner in
which his books We're kept. Ignorance OF
their own books was an Ignorance of
their duty. 1t has been shown that along
about the twentieth day of October Book.
keeper Deering took his vacation, and
that Mr.. York had charge of the books. -
Mr.. Freeman continued on in this line
for some time when he was suddenly in
terrupted by the court. II don't know as
these men did any different in their
transactions, remarked Judge Webb,
ethan many other merchants do in their
business. You can't go into this and
point out these errors and say they were
responsible for all the mistakes in the ao-
counts.''
Court adjourned at few minutes past
five O'Clock until this morning when it is
expected Mr.. Freeman will conclude his
argument.
At both sessions yesterday Referee
Pierce and Trustee Coombs, both of
whom have been prominent in the case,
were present.
