ENORMOUS HORSE TRADE
BUSINESS OF PAST YEAR BREAKS
ALL PREVIOUS RECORDS.

There are many curious things in this
world of ours and many things that
would cause the utmost astonishment
If they were generally known.
Thousands of people travel daily be-
tween st. Paul and Minneapolis, pass
ing through the Midway district, and
comparatively few ever give the place a
second thought They know that it is
the Midway district and that is ALL And
yet here is located one of the largest
horse markets in the world People
riding through the district see the firm
name of Barrett & Zimmerman decora
ting structures on both sides of the
street. They may Or may not know
that Barrett & Zimmerman are horsemtn n,
but it is almost certainty that they do
not know that these two men, who are
pioneers in the horse business, are known
the world over among stockmen, and
that the business carried on by them is
among the most extensive in the state
of Minnesota.
Barrett e Zimmerman located at Mid
way in 1885, fifteen years ago. That
first year they handled about 1000
horses This seems like a large
number when speaking of horses, but it
Is small when compared with the num-
Der handled in the year just closed. In
1900 this firm handled more than 10000
horses and the sales made aggregated
the enormous sum of s., 100000 Thera
may be found in the barns at Midway.
at all times, 500 to 600 head Of fine
horses. and the display made is worth
going many miles to see.
The business of the firm has grown to
such an extent, and especially in heavy
drafters for logging and farming pur-
posses, that it has been found necessary
to branch out, and Duluth, the growing
metropolis at the head of the lakes, was
selected. Barrett & Zimmerman haze
just completed, and are opening today
in the Zenith city, the largest and best
equipped barns in the Middle West In
the ST. Paul barns the weekly auctions
are a feature, but in Duluth there will
be no auctions. 1t is the intention to
keep on hand in the new barns about SEQ
head of horses.
During the past year this firm car
RED on large business in Western
horses. Large sales We're held monthly
and buyers were in attendance from far
and near. Arrangements are under way
by the tirm now to go into this business
on an even more extensive scale during
the coming spring and summer. 1t is
not improbable that this enterprisinS
firm will handle, during the year 1901,

COST Of CITY GAS IS GUT
REDUCTION OF $3.50 Is MADE IN
THE CITY LIGHTING
CONTRACT
INTEREST ON THE EQUIPMENT
Rate Charged Is Reduced Below the
Figure Allowed In the Char
ter, and the Council
Yields.

The contract for the lighting of the
streets and public buildings of st. Paul
during the year 1901 has been awarded
to the st. Paul Gas Lighting company
All possibility of an extinguishment of
the street lights as implied in the heated
discussion, at the meeting of the as
sembly last Saturday is removed and the
service will continue as of old.
The difficulty was solved yesterday at
meeting Of the assembly and the board
of aldermen by formally awarding the
contract, but the solution only came
after much haggling and a concession
on the part of the gas company in the
matter of q per cent cut in the charter
interest allowed on lump posts and first
cost of the gas companys plant.
The assembly committee on gas at
whose hands the acceptance of the con-
tract received its first set back labored
for three hours yesterday morning with
out reaching conclusion, the finish
finally seeing the matter referred back to
the assembly without recommendations.
The discussion was carried into the as
sembly and might have gone on indet-
nitely had not President Lathrop, of the
gass company, come to the rescue and
offered a concession in a shape of re-
duction in the charter interest charges
on lamp posts. This made a reduction
in the contract price of $3.50 and AS
semblyman Wheeler at once moved to
clinch the bargain by awarding the con-
tract to the company.
Assemblyman Wheeler was of the opin-
ion that the rate for gas and the interest
charge Of per cent for posts was ex-
orbitant, but he laid stress on the fact
that the committee had not acted wisely
IN allowing the matter to run as long as
it had without calling meeting.
Chairman Wheeler wanted the recoIu-
tlon calling for the rejection of the bids
and the demand upon the gas company
to light the streets until the controversy
was settled, passed, but the vote taken
while carrying with it majority, to 3
failed, Chairman DIX declaring the reso-
luton lost on the grounds that an ex-
pendlture of money required a two thirds
vote
bid, by Assemblyman Craig and another.
to reconsider the vote on the original
resolution, rejecting the bid introduced
by Assemblyman Wheeler resulted in a
deadlock and on this George c. Souires
attorney for the gas company, called at
tent1on to the peculiar position it
would place his company in. They would
be compelled to furnish the city with
lights and then depend on the generosity
OF the officials to see that they were paid
what was proper.
A further hitch in the matter was pre-
vented by President Lathrop who offered
the interest charge concession, and with
out further delay the contract was
awarded.
Following the board of aldermen met
and ratified the contract as amended and
the controversy was over.

BLOODY DUEL FOUGHT
ENCOUNTER BETWEEN AN AMERI-
CAN AND GERMAN OFFICER.
Latter's Throat Cut in the Nineteenth
Round and His Life Barely
Saved by Surgeons.

DULUTH, Mimi, July 3O.-Word was re-
ceived in Duluth to-day that Adolph Hart
man, son of Emil Hartman, of this city,
has just fought a duel with swords with
Lieutenant Pachman. of the German army.
1t was a bloody encounter in which the
lieutenant received a number of severe
wounds, one of which severed the jugular
vein Hartman was also seriously wounded.
Hartman graduated from the Duluth High
School in 1899 and went to Achen, Germany.
to take a course in mining engineering.
At .'kommers." which was attended
by students. army officers and others.
Hartman and Lieutenant Pachmann be-
came involved in quarrel which resulted
in the young Duluthian slapping the face
of the military man. n challenge followed
and the matter being referred to a court
of honor, it was decided that
duel OF the first-class must follow.
AS young Hartman was unfamiliar
with the sword, he was allowed
six months in which TO train" for the en-
counter At the emo of that time the con-
second round Hartman wounded the lieu
tenant on the left side of the head, almost
severing the ear. In the third round the
young American was himself wounded IN
the head, a piece of the scalp being cut
away. From the third to the seventeenth
round the fighting was fierce. In the latter
round the puluthian again wounded the
lieutenant his blade gashing clear across
his forehead Although both were weak
ened from loss of blood the fight continued
until the nineteenth round, when the lieu
tenant was wounded in the throat, the
sword severing the jugular vein. The
American was then adjudged the victor
Prompt attendance by the surgeons pres
ent saved the officers life, but il will be at
least six months before he is able for duty.
