LIVERYMAN'S QUEER EXPERIENCE
WITH TWO SUPPOSED
HORSE THIEVES
WOKE UP BEHIND THE BARS
But He Is Convinced That He Was
Dragged and Not Drunk at
the Time-Miu City
News.
nLOEE'S MINNEAPOLIS OFFICE,
b 20 WASHINGTON Az. SOUTH.

Charles w. Scott, the proprietor of the
Nicollet livery and boarding stable, 2Sl1
NicoIet avenue, had a peculiar experience
with two horse thieves Saturday evening,
who he believes are members of the
gang arrested by Minneapolis and st.
Paul police Sunday. Mr.. Scott was the
medium through which a stolen horse
was sold to Archie Taylor, a horseshoer,
L West Twenty street.
Two men called at the livery stable
during the evening, and with them were
two women. They had a good horse, but
Mr.. Scott did not feel that he could af-
ford to buy it, although he considered the
price, $50, very reasonable. Not to let the
good deal so by default, he called his
friend, Mr.. Taylor, and told him that it
was a good bargain, and Mr.. Taylor
thought so, too So Mr.. Taylor bought
the horse.
The quartette then said that they did
not want to take the car home and of
fered Mr.. Scott S. if he would hitch up
a rig and drive them home This was
done On the way to the home in south
town, they called at saloon. Three
beers were brought out to the wagon
and Mr.. Scott remembers well that he
was given an unusually large glass, and
also that the beer was quite bitter. He
drank a portion Of it and threw the rest
away. They had driven but short dis
lance from the saloon, when, he says, he
commenced to feel dizzy. He also remem-
bers that one of the men tried to get him
from his seat under which there was a
valuable harness. He fought the man off,
and that is about all he remembers.
Both Scott and Taylor have been sub
poenaed as witnesses in the preliminary
trial of the alleged horse thieves in ST
Paul, tomorrow, and they will then be
given the first opportunity to indemnity
the men who sold Taylor the horse.

periaI Court.
NEW YORK, Sept. ga dispatch to the
Tribune from London says: The Chinese
minister here has communicated to the
foreign office an imperial edict dated Tai
Yuan-Fy, appointing commissioners to
negotiate terms of peace in association
with Ii Hung Chang. Grave dissatisfac-
ton is felt at the names of the commits
sioners. Earl Ii had asked that viceroys
Liu Kun Vi and Chang Chih Tung and
Prince Ching should be named. The court
has ignored his suggestion for the nom
ination of the reforming Yang Use vice
roys, and appointed instead Prince Ching,
Yung Lu and Hau Tung. The two last
named are violent and reactionary Man
chus
Little hope can be entertained of sue
cessful negotiation with a board thus
constituted, and it is hoped that the pow
ers will decline to treat with the two
Manchu mobiles. 1t is clear that the
Southern viceroys are to be prescribed
and prosecuted for declining to join in
the recent anti-forefgn movement, and,
unless pressure can be brought to bear
in their favor by the powers, their lives
and liberty may be in danger
The edict addressed to Ii Hung Chang,
in the name of the Chinese emperor, and
dated Aug. ~, en- route to Tai-Yuen-Fu
explains that, although the foreign pow
ers have given assurance that their only
object in bringing troops to the capital
is the suppression of disorder, and that
no harm is intended to the imperial
house. the emperor has felt it his duty,
in view of the dangers. apprehended by
the assault on Pekin, to comply with the
wishes of the empress dowager, to ac-
company her westward, after instruct

The Standards correspondent in Tien
Tsin sends an account of the arrival of
the first party of refugees from Pelkin.
Most of them were American mission
aries. The journey to Tien Tsin by boat
occupied four days. No hostile Chinese
were encountered on the way but it was
impossible for the refugees to take
rest, and all the party seemed complete
ly worn out. From the stories told by
these refugees, it would seem that the
reports which had been circulated re-
siarding the sufferings of the inmates
of the legations during the siege were ex-
aggerated. Nobody actually went hungry,
and the chief strain on the besieged was
the constant fear lest the enemy should

CLEARWATER DAM GONE.
River Overfiows the Banks and
Does Much Damage

CLEARWATER. Mimi, Sept. 5-The
dam across the Clearwater river at this
point went out at 10 o'clock this morn
ing and turned a torrent of water toward
It's natural basis, the Mississippi. The
flood carried away two wagon bridges
one of which was over the dam, and a
1OO-foot span of the Great Northern s
wooden bridge. The loss on the dam is
about $500, and to each of the bridges
about $500.
A large party of campers who were in
the course of the food barely escaped
with their lives and their horses Every
thing else was swept away.
The same dam went out three years
ago. The mill at this point is owned by
the Merchants National bank, of ST.
Cloud, and is operated by H. L. Winter
er 1t has no steam plant and will there
fore be idle until one can be put in or
the dam rebuilt. The business life of
the place is dependent In large measure
upon its operation and the loss will be
keenly felt.
The dam carried a seventeen-foot head
Of water and the backwater extended
about a mile in some directions. While
the stage of water has been increasing,
1t is thought the loss is due to leaks
which undermined the structure.

the statement that Russians only desire

that military action beyond Pekin would

The paper adds: Nothing but the ac-

Therefore it is necessary to re-establis
