sion.

By ceremonies on Harriet island yes
terday afternoon the city of st. Paul came
into possession of finely appointed pub
lie bathing establishment, the gift to the
city of Dr. Justus Ohage, official head
of the municipal department of health.
The buildings and the work done upon the
island represent an investment of less
than $4,000
1t was while travelling on the continent
several years ago that DR. Ohage inspect
ted the public baths of Germany, Holland,
Austria and France. He became possess
ed of the idea that St. Paul should have
free public baths, and never lost sight
of the idea. Yesterday he saw the
fruition of months of effort toward the
accomplishment at which he had aimed
Over a year ago he purchased the title to
Harriet island a sandy wooded tract of
ten acres, just below the Wabasha street
bridge. He went about getting money
by subscription to pay for the work to
be done, intending all the time to present
the city with the island for park and
bathing purposes. About $4,000 were
raised by subscription, but the doctor was
anxious to see the work completed.
one OIL the condlConS or the glft TO the
city is that no alcoholic liquors or ciga-
rettes shall be brought to, used, sold or
given to others on the island Another
condition is that the establishment shall
remain at all times under the direct su-
pervision OF the municipal department
of health. the superintendent being
clothed with full police power, his idea
being that in this manner the baths will
be kept in the finest sanitary condition

MARSHALS CAPTURE FIVE
DEPUTIES OF GRIMSHAW CORRAL
SUPPOSED TIMBER THIEVES.

United States Marshal Grimshaw re-
ceived a telegram from Deputy Marshal
Warren last night announcing the arrest
of five Of a gang of timber trespassers
near the Canadian line. A trio of depu-
ty marshals left st. Paul a week ago
with warrants for seven men who have
been cutting government timber in Itasca
and Beltrami counties and shipping it to
a firm across the border. 1t was ex-
pected the deputies would have a fight
and they went heavily armed.
The telegram received by Marshal
Grimshaw last night states that the five
prisoners are now on their way to Crook
ston, and after reaching that point the
deputies will return to the border for
the purpose Of gathering in the remainder
of the gang.

Paul, Mimi, for the purpose of promoting
the health, comfort and enjoyment of its
citizens, has this day deposited with Ar
mand Albrecht, a member of the honor
able common council of said city, GER
tain deed of conveyance of even date,
herewith granting to the said city of st.
Paul all his right, title and estate in
and to Harriet island, in said city, which
said deed shall be delivered by said Ar
mand Albrecht to the honorable mayor
of said city as it's official representative
of the perpetual use, benefit and enjoy
ment of its citizens for the purposes
aforesaid, whenever and as soon as the IT,
tie to said property shall have been per
fected in him and all Indebtedness in
CURED in connection with the establish
ment of public baths and other improve
ments upon said property shall have been
fully paid and satisfied
SAID BY THE DONOR.
Placing in Mayor Kiefer's hands the
deed of conveyance of the island and the
establishment thereon to the city, DR..
Ohage said:
There is now not much for me to say.
My work and my pleasure has been to
succeed in the plan of giving to the city
a free public bath establishment. st.
Paul should be in the front rank of
American cities in the matter of such
utilities. To me this occasion is of spe-
cial pleasure, because it comes with
knowledge of duty done; When our
honored mayor here appointed me as
commissioner of health it was not in any
sense a political consideration. l was
not asked, and would not have accepted
it, as such. The mayor simply told me
to take the office, and do the best I
could for the people, This is the best
l can do for the-people-I mean for all
the people. The place is open to all or
derly citizens. l take pleasure therefore
in handing the chief executive of this
city the deed to this island and the build
ings that have been erected for the city
of St Paul forever"
A week ago, after the bath houses had
been completed, the bathing pools ready
for use, the pavilions finished, and the
grounds cleaned up and made generally
beautiful, invitations were sent out to
city and county officials, prominent citi-
zens and the public generally, to attend
the dedication ceremonies The uni
formed inspectors of the health depart
ment We're all present, and the services
of the Minnesota State band We're Sc
cured for the occasion. The exercises
were arranged for at 8 o'clock, and at
that hour there were several thousand
people on the grounds The day was
faJItless and the scene one of the most
beautiful of the spring season. While the
cadences of a patriotic air by the full
brass band were reverberating along the
shores of the wooded. island DR.. Ohage
made the short address of presentation
from the platform near the refreshment
booth.
Near him stood the governor of the
state, the mayor of the city, numerous

A rather peculiar state of affairs was
brought out at the McCardy-Betz re-
count Wednesday and there was some
talk about tampering with the ballot
boxes. City Clerk Jensen brought in a
ballot box to the referees on which was
painted in large black letters, Fourth
district, Eighth ward
The end of the box bearing this in
scription was turned toward the referees
and attorneys, so when Mr.. Jensen an
nounced that the next ballots to be
counted were cast in the Tenth precinct
of the Eighth ward there was a chorus:
You mean the Fourth of the Eighth"
mo, I said, and mean, the Tenth of
the Eighth, replied Jensen as he looked
at the lock on the box which was stem
ciled Tenth district, Eighth ward
1t was not until there had been more
or less argument that the city clerk ad-
mitted that the lock on the ballot box
had confused him, and the ballot box
which he had brought in was really from
the Fourth precinct of the ward and not
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1900-05-27

the locks did not agree with the precinct
in which the ballots were cast.
City Clerk Jensen took exceptions to
this statement, and Mr. Mitchell modi-
fed it by saying, perhaps it was not as
strong as that, but there were whole lot
of them where the locks did not agree
with the precinct"
The judges in the Fourth precinct of the
Eighth ward, Patrick McHugh, E. D..
Parsons and H. Mantuffel, were seen by
a o b reporter regarding the lock not
being the same as the inscription on the
box
Mr.. McHugh said he was of the opinion
that the inscription on the lock was the
same as on the box. Mr.. Mantuffel said
he had not paid any particular attention
to the lock on the box, and in fact did
not know as they were stenciled Mr..
Parsons was also unable to say as to the
words on the lock, explaining that he was
busy with the polling books and had not
paid particular attention when the ballots
were locked up.

CHICAGO, May 26.-Chicago was in
vaded at 1 o'clock this morning by the
army of a hostile fleet numbering thir-
teen men-the District of Lake Michi-
gan" The invasion ended in farce
comedy, but came near to being finished
in deadly earnest. The casualties in
clude one boy shot in the leg, and one
horse killed. Five of the invaders were
arrested, and the balance We're allowed to
escape.
The trouble was precipitated by Capt.
George w Streeter, a squatter, who has
from time to time created much trouble
and litigation by his efforts to seize
land along the shore Of Lake Michigan.
The land which he has for some time
claimed to be the District of Lake
Michigan consists of main land on the
shore of Lincoln park, part of it including
one of the main park boulevards. The
courts have decided against the squat
ter again and again, but he has been
persistent in his efforts to grab the prop
erty. He claims that the land along the
Illinois shore does not belong to Chi
cago but is, instead, public domain, free
to whomever settles upon It,
Streeter organized the force which
made the descent upon Lincoln park to-
day, but was not with them In person.
The transport containing the troops"
arrived off Lincoln park soon after mid
night, and without difficulty they made
landing at the foot of Superior street,
and formally took possession of 1856 acres
of land claimed by Capt. Streeter and his
subjects as the Independent territory. the
District of Lake Michigan"

RAPID FIRE GUNS.

RAPID FIRE GUNS.
Rapid fire guns, it is alleged, were on
the transport decks, ready to cover, If
necessary, the landing of the troops, but
the shores were unprotected, and without
opposition the men made their way
through the surf and rallied around their
leader, "Commandant" William Niles,
and hoisted an American flag in the cen
ter of the invaded district.
The landing was conducted quietly, but
was not unobserved. Police officer
James O'Malley was on guard and has
tened to send a report of the matter to
the East Chicago avenue station which,
in turn, transmitted the information to
Inspector Heidelmeier. 1t was de-
cided to take no action against the in
vaders until after consultation with the
city law department.
AS far as legal advice was concerned
the invaders had all the best of it. The
"commandant' is the legal authority of
the district government, holding, besides
his military title. that of chief justice of
the supreme court Under his orders
the transport which is known only as
"Bickelburg's sail boat" hove to and
dropped an anchor. Then, 1t is alleged,
there was landed seventy-five Springfield
rifles, with 1,200 rounds of ammunition
and two Gatling guns. This scheme of
armament is from the side of the in
vaders, for no one else has seen the Cat
ling guns, and the seventy-fve rifles are
sufficient to give three to each member of
the invading force.
ENTRENCHMENTS THROWN Up.
Immediately on landing a line of forti-
ficatiors was marked out A line of
plank was laid along the western edge OF
the claimed territory, and a barbed wire
fence stretched about a foot above It.
Two forts. each about twelve feet square,
and forming an embankment Of piling
about five feet high, were hastily thrown

Sentines were detailed to patrol picket

"cCmmandant' gave orders that no one
should be allowed to cross this line, and
then, establishing his headquarters with

stack arms and rest themselves in prepa-
ration for a struggle which he said he
felt was inevitable.
