THE BROWN "CALL" CASE
Interesting Case Growing Out of Re.
cent Wheat Boom.

Chamber Of Commerce members who
trade in privileges will be interested in
the outcome of the Brown case in Mil
waukee, especially those who Of late have
been trading in Milwaukee privileges. l..
Bartlett & Son of Milwaukee brought be-
fore the board Of arbitration of the Mil
waukee chamber claim against Bartlett
Frazier & Co. of Chicago. Brown was
telephone clerk in the employ of Bartlett
frazier & Co., and during the bull move
ment OF few weeks ago, when all was
excitement he sold calsI to a number of
firms, who, of course, supposed he was
acting for the firm that employed him.
The market advanced and the purchasers
OF the calls had handsome profits in sight.
Brown had not bargained for this. SO he
fled the town. In refusing to stand for
the trades made by their clerk, Bartlett
Frazier & Co. took the stand that they
did not know at the time that Brown was
selling the calls, that he was not a mem
Der of the Milwaukee chamber, hence had
no right to trade, and the purchasers
should have known this. On the other
hand, as soon as Bartlett Frazier & Co.
learned of the sale of calls, it is said, they
bought against them thus practically ad-
mitting the transaction of their employe.
The case was decided in favor of Bartlett
Frazier & Co., but it will be appealed to
the board of directors.

Gave in the woods. Fremont and
Twenty avenue N. Kill It,"
Thus read a note on kick sheet
of the desk of Fred Coffin, captain of the
mounted squad Of police, at headquarters
this morning. When the first battalion
Of the cavalry reported at the city hall
at 1890 to-day Captain Coffin assigned
two mounted patrolmen to the case, and
they clattered off to the suburban dis
trict on a destructive errand Arriving
at the address given, they proceeded, with
conspicuous absence of economy, to
destroy the snug little retreat in the
ground that had been built with a great
deal Of labor and ingenuity by dozen
youngsters of North Town.
In this subterranean refuge its build
ers had lived a happy life, uninterrupted
by anxious parents and far from the dis
NAL confines of the school rooms. Since
along in the summer their secret was
well kept, but it has crept out, and with
the expose many other facts in connec-
tion with their home in the woods have
been brought to light And not all Of them
revert to the credit of the lads.
During the past two or three months
frequent reports have been made to the
police of raids upon pantries and store
houses in residences in the district
Families have believed that the robberies
were committed by hungry tramps. Later
all kinds Of goods disappeared from mer
chants delivery wagons on their rounds
in the vicinity and. as winter became
more severe, large holes were made in
wood piles. Youngsters in that part
OF town were suspected, and interested
parents watched their boys, whose fire.
quent and long absences from home made
them suspicious, and the cave was dis
covered.
This little habitation was dug out Of
the earth in the summer, and was covered
with boards stolen from barns and fences,
over which was placed a thatch of brush,
hay and other material that would keep
out the cold and wet A small stove was
covertly smuggled into the den and
large pile of wood was accumulated
for the winter days. The lads who were
in the secret often stayed away from home
for days at a time, and yet they never
seemed to want for anything to eat.
Where they got it was the puzzle, but it
has leaked out. Butchers, bakers and
grocers wagons have been plundered very
deftly, while the delivery boys were in
houses, and large number of losses have
been reported. There is one lad in court
now charged with stealing a pint bottle
of rum from a delivery wagon in the i'm
mediate neighborhood of the cave and
ne is believed to be one Of the gang that
live in the dugout
Parents have complained, as we'll as
others who have lost things, and there
nave been several requests that the bows
be driven away from their haunt in the
woods. This morning another petition
was made the police to destroy the cave
and Captain Coffin instructed his men to
clean out the place.

VERDICT OF MURDER
Finding of the COrOner's Jury in the
Carlson Case

John Johnson, who is now in the coun.
ty jail, is held by the coroner's turv tn
be guilty Of the murder of Claus w. Carl
son, who was stabbed in a saloon at 12S
Second street S, on Christmas Day, and
who died of peritonitis, resulting from
the knife wound, at the city hospital Sat-
urday night. The jury heard four wit
nesses. They were Charles Wiese. who
was the only person who saw the stab
bing, which took place in a rear room Of
the saloon, Knute Stevens, Herman GLAND
and Ed Bruder. The verdict of the Jury
reads:
We, the coroner's jury, find that Claus w.
carlson came to his death Dec. 90, 1901. at
the city hospital Minneapolis, as the result
OF having been stabbed in the abdomen with
knife, Dec. %, 1901, at 12S Second street s.
and that said knife was held in the hand of
John Johnson.

EMPLOYERS SAY mot so"
Deny the Prevalence of Smallpox in
Lumber Camps.


Minneapolis lumbermen say that Dr. H.
M. Bracken, secretary of the state board
of health, is mistaken in his statement
that there is considerable smallpox in the
camps throughout the state, due to the
lack of proper precautions This opinion
was advanced to-day by lumbermen whose
forces in the woods aggregate over 5000
men. They say that so far this season
they have not heard Of a single case of
smallpox in any of their camps, and they
further affirm that they are taking every
practicable precaution to prevent the out
break of the disease. Many of the rules
which the law requires are said by the
lumbermen to be impract icable to put in
execution, as for instance the one that
requires each man to show his vaccination
scar.
Your average lumber jack would greet
such a question with laugh, and invite
the inquirer to go to for his pains. The
strictest cleanliness possible is in
sisted on in the pineries and all doubtful
characters are kept out of the camps.
The lumbermen say that the cases which
have occurred in past seasons and have
been heralded about as smallpox, are in
reality only very light form of varoloid
and are not the genuine article at all.

GANG OF SUGAR THIEVES
RObberies in Several Cities Point t,
an Organization.

The similarity Of the methods by which
large sugar robberies were committed in
chicago last week and in Minneapolis two
weeks previous, leads to the belief that in
the arrest Of two young men who were
trying to sell several barrels of the sugar
al Washington avenue grocery, the po-
lice have not caught the principals in the
stealing, or else to the belief that the
Minneapolis and Chicago robbers are mem
bers of an organization. In Chicago, ac-
cording to the recent police reports, the
robberies have been carried on on very
large scale, one firm alone reporting the
loss of $4,000 worth of goods in a few
days. The thieves used the same plan as
did those who robbed cars in Minneapolis.
carting away the stolen barrels in a wagon
and selling them on one pretense or an
other to small grocers. Similar robberies
have been reported in other cities in the
middle west, and it is believed that they
are the work of a we'll organized gang.

Fails to Collect His Bill From Mrs.

The Rev. julius A. Ward, formerly a

against Mrs. Theodore Sutro whom he at
tempted to compel, in the New York
courts, to pay him 800 for services rem

Rev. Mr.. Ward has become ''somato-
pathist." His speciality is the curing Of
diseases that have baffled the skill Of
regular practitioners; and he has adver-
tised extensively as ."Dr. Ward His
correct degree, however, is Doctor OF
Divinity" not Doctor of Medicine" and
the New York court, in which the case
was brought, held that the use Of the pre-
fix 'Dr." led people to believe that the
man was really graduate from some
medical college.

A MORE VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN
Health Commissioner VIII Strength
en- Smallpox Precautions.

Smallpox is becoming more prevalent
constantly in Minneapolis, and Health
Commissioner Hall has decided that he
will be justified in using stronger
measures than heretofore to enforce vac
cination. He does not purpose to in
augurate any general system of compul-
sorry vaccination, but wherever a person
has been exposed to the disease, or has
come in secondary contact with it, he will
be vaccinated. This rule will be enforced
to the letter from now on, he declares, no
matter where it hits, schools, hotels,
boarding houses, public gatherings or
private homes.

AGAINST THE PARK
ST. Paul Statesmen Don't Think the
Plan Will Succeed.

Congressman Stevens, of the St. Paul
district, yesterday informed the commit
tee in charge of the proposition to form a
national park in the pine lands of north
ern Minnesota that there was no pos
sibility of such a park being established
Both he and Senator Clapp agreed that
there was no organized effort on the part
of the numbering interests to prevent i; ;
but Mr. Stevens was sure that the plan
could not carry. Senator Clapp, while he
expressed himself in more guarded terms,
evidently agreed with his colleague.
The meeting was held at the ST. Paul
Chamber of Commerce and delegation
was present from Cass county to protest
against the proposed step. Those who
appeared in opposition were A. L. Cole.
