FIRES IN A BUNCH.
Three Alarms About the Same Time
Kept the Department Busy.

Three fire alarms from the downtown
districts within sixteen minutes, early
last evening, caused unusual activity in
the fire department The same appara-
'tus in the natural order of events would
have responded to each alarm, but as the
first call took out everything down town
other companies from the outlying dis
tricts were hustled toward the business
center, amid considerable excitement,
when the second and third alarms sound
ed. It transpired that there were only
two fires, however, neither of which was
of dangerously threatening nature, and
by the time the apparatus from distant
engine houses got down town its services
were not needed.
The first alarm, at 7:30 o'clock, called
the department to a two-story frame
building, occupied by Mary Wagner, at
14S East Ninth street. The fire had gotten
well through the upper part Of the house
and burned stubbornly for short time,
damaging the building and contents to
the extent of $406. 1t was caused by a
spark from q stove.
At S:04 there was an alarm from Ninth
and Wabasha street, caused by the dis
covery Of fire in barn in the rear OF
Patrick Gallagher's saloon, 457 WabaSha
street Engines that had been brought
into houses vacated by the first alarm
were sent to this fire, when, two min
utes later, another alarm sounded from
Exchange and Wabasha streets. Then
apparatus from st. Anthony hill and the
West side was called out. 1t developed,
however, that the third alarm was turn
ed in for the fire In Gallagher's saloon by
some one who did not know an alarm had
already been sent In.
The barn was damaged to the extent OF
$780, and a horse was so badly burned
that 1t is believed it will be necessary to
shoot the animal. It is not known how
the fire started.

or not. By these methods they drove
every guard out Of the place. when they
were able to go ahead with their opera
lions without interruption.
One morning after little sl1irmish
near the outskirts of the feeding grounds,
twelve bullets were taken from one of
the big wooden feeders. near which one
of the guards had been standing.
The shooting became so lively that
all of the original guards deserted and
sheep feeders have had a very hard
time in getting men to take their places.
1t was found impossible to get the men
to work at all until they were armed
with shotguns. Since being equipped
with these weapons, however, they have
had considerably less trouble.
This winter has been so far the very
warmest that has ever been experienced
at New Brighton, and scarcely a night
has passed that the reports of the re-
volvers and shotguns have not been
heard.

SHEEP THIEVES ARE BOLD.
Guards Are Obliged to Carry Guns
Heavily Loaded With Shot.

The guards at the sheep-feeding
grounds at New Brighton this winter
are all carrying shotguns loaded with
very heavy charges of shot. and they
are keeping their eyes open for the fes-
tive sheep thieves.
The thieves have been unusually active
and during the early part of the season
drove all the guards out of the place.
Hundreds of shots have been fired around
the feeding grounds during the winter
and large number of the bullets have
come uncomfortably near the heads of
the guards.
In former years, and during the early
part of this season, the guards were
armed with revolvers, and were not I'M
willing to shoot at the sheep thieves.
This year, however, the thieves have
been somewhat holder than usual and
hiding behind the feeders they have
been shooting at the guards apparently
caring very little whether they hit them

a cIFT FRoM THE GREEKs.

The political artist of the Pioneer Press
has been exciting the readers of that
paper with surmises as to the political
ambitions and intentions of Gov. Lind,
the gst of which is that the governor
has designs upon the United States SEN
atorship and would like to ravish the
toga from the sturdy shoulders of the
Little Norwegian" Without wishing
to comment on these surmises, or to af-
firm or deny their truth, there are not
a few Democrats who concede that with
John Lind as the candidate for United
States senator, and Thomas CAVITY for
governor, the Democrats and their po-
litical allies would have an excellent
chance to sweep the state next Novent-
Der.
The assertion has been made by many
prominent politicians, that the absence
or presence of John Lind's name at the
head of the fusion ticket means DIFF
ference of 10000 votes at the polls. Ii
the Democratic party and its political al
lies believe this 10 be true and that Gov
Linds denomination is essential to sue
cess in the next campaign, 1t is more
than probable the governor will accede
to the unanimous voice of his supporters
and once more lead them. But If his
presence in the field as candidate for
United States senator, which the Re-
publican Pioneer Press alleges is now
the object of Gov. Lind's ambition.
would add strength to the fusion ticket
and entail no risk of loss, then 1t may be
considered probable that the kindly sug-
gestion of our Republican brethren may
be adopted and turned to good account
OF one thing the Democratic party and
its political allies may feel assured
Gov Lind will, no doubt, perform the
duty he owes to his supporters fully and
cheerfully, whatever it may be, and the
councils of the party leaders cannot be
disregarded by the man who has once
entered public life. however painfully
they may clash with his private inclina>
ton.

REPuBLIcAN rIARMoNY Ia DANGER.

REPUBLICAN HARMONY IN DANGER.
The attempt to solidify the Republican
party in Minnesota is not proving great
success. Before the publication of the
rumors that Gov. Lind would not seek
denomination there were many Republic
cans who aspired to be the gubernatorial
candidate OF their party but were de-
TERED by the fear of defeat at the hands
of John Lind They therefore gave way
to the claims of S. r. Van SAINT and with
great magnanimity left him TO his fate
in a clear field. This situation was re-
ferred TO in Republican papers as the
unifying of their party and that all the
the soreness of the past had disappeared
and the scalping knives of the warning
factions had been sheathed The Demo-
cratic forces were to be confronted with
united party, and in the Republican
van would be found standing shoulder
to shoulder Knute Nelson, Washburn,
NIouSH, LIuSllS blApy, nc1iis Duhh'
Heatwole and other kindred spirits who
have by their quarrels made life worth
living for the rank and file of the Repub-
lican party workers for many years
past.
I Surely Gov. Lind should feel fattered
that all this harmony was brought about
by his presence in the political arena and
his mission on earth to Republicanism
and Republicans is clearly that of an
angel of peace.
But just as soon as the rumors of Gov.
| the field were circulated, the magnani-
nous ones who had been willing to see
Van SAINT led to the slaughter were gall
vaniZed into life and are now busily en-
gagged laying all kinds of plans to break
the strength of the Winona man in an
endeavor to wrest the nomination from
| him.
1t is hardly probable they will have
much success. The pledges already given
cure the Republican nominate for him,
and the time is too short to permit of
much filibustering of the kind that de-
prived him of the nomination in 1898.
1t is highly probable too, that the in
fluence of the Republican national COM
mittee-for Mark Hanna takes an al
most paternal interest in Republican pol
itics in Minncsota-would be interposed
in the interests of harmony" if Van
SAINTS nomination was jeopardized by
factional party fights at this late stage
in the game.
But it need surprise no one if some
opposition-more or less powerful-devel-
opes to Van SAINT. especially if the ru-
mors of Gov. Lind's retirement continue
or are confirmed.
