IRE LIABLE 70 4 FINE
HEsNNEPIN COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
HAVE BEEN EXCEEDING.
THEIR AUTHORITY
ILLEGAL CLAIMS ALLOWED
County Funds Cannot Be Used for
the Purpose of Brine ing Back
Fugitives From
Justice.

According to an opinion Assistant
County Attorney c. L. Smith yesterday
submitted to the board of county COM
missioners all the money expended by
this county the past five or six years for
the return of fugitfves from justice, who
escaped to another state has been ex-
pended by the board of county commits
sioners in defiance of law, and the MEM
hers of the board are liable to a fine of
$500 each in every instance.
The question arose In connection with
the claims of Thomas Murphy and James
Howard, the detectives who brought back
from Los Angeles Henry Etrilgfield and
George f. Keller, who were charged with
swindling. Howard and Murphy claim
$256 each for their expenses on the trip.
Attorney Smith bases his opinion on
section 1854 of the statutes, which pro-
vides that when a fugitive is to be
brought back from another state the gov
ernor is to send an agent, or agents,
after him, and the expenses are TO be
paid from the state treasury.
Heretofore such claims when presented
against the state have been referred to
the respective counties In which the fugi-
tives were wanted, the attorney general
noting on the bill that the state had no
fund from which the claim could be paid.
Then the counties began paying the
claims themselves, and thus the practice
has grown up. But Nj. Smith thinks it
is about time for the legislature to pro-
vide a fund for paying such expenses,
or repeal the provisions Of the law. so
he has taken stand against the allow
ance of any more such claims. Following
the opinion the board of county commits
sioners disalloWed the claims of Murphy
and Howard.

Of humor, and his tales of the old steam-
boating days on the Mississippi were as
Interesting as they were versatile in
character. essb
Capt BIakeley was born in Massa-
chusetts in 1916, and while he was very
young, his parents removed to Leroy,
Genesee county, N. Y. Here he grew to
manhood and i'll 1886 removed to Illinois;
thence he went to Galena and from there
to Virginia, and in 1877 back to Galena
again.
Capt Blakeley entered the Mississippi
river steamboat service in 1S47 and was
one Of the most prominent steamboat
men on the river for fifteen years. Dur
ing the time he was in the service as
the captain of various steamboats, in the
| river trade Capt. Blakeley, 1t is estimated,
brought fully 10000 people into the state.
When in the winter of 1S4S the organi-
zation of the Territory of Minnesota was
authorized by congress, Capt Blakeley
was one Of the members of the GaIena
and Minnesota Packet company, and
when, in May, 1S49, the officers of the
new territory who had been appointed
by President Taylor arrived by rail at
Prairie du Chen, to take boat to S.
Paul, where they were to enter on their
new duties as officers of the territory,
they boarded the good old steamer, Dr..
Franklin, on which Capt. Blakeley was
clerk. Only two of those officers are row
alive-Alexander Ramsey and H. E.
Moss.
Capt. Blakeley first went into the river
service in 1917, when he became clerk on
the old steamer Argo. The same fall
the Argo was sunk and the new steamer
DR.. Franklin was purchased by Campbell
e Smith, Henry Corwith, H. L. Douse-
man, Brisbofs &c Rice, Henry H. S.kIay
NJ w. Lodwick and Capt. Blakeley. In
the spring, OF 1873, when the navigation
opened on the river; Capt. Blakeley went
IN the DR.. Franklin as clerk The Dr.
Franklin was the crack steamer on the
river that year, having been purchased
on the Ohio to beat the War Eagle, then
owned by Harris Bros.
There was. strong competition on TIE
river during those years, competition
that was finally settled for time by
the formation of the Galena and Mime
sofa Packet company.
After serving on the DR.. Franklin or
1.-THE Old Doctor" as the boat became
known through the naming of a newer
boat DR.. Franklin No. 2, Capt. Blakeley
became her captain in 1852. The next
year he was placed in command of the
Nominee, newer and better boat, and
in 1855 he was made captain of the Ca
lena. At the close of that season he
left the active steamboatfng and was
made outside manager of the packet COM
| pany a Dunleith. He remained with the
company until 1862. when the company
went out of business.
The early river days were days of work
and worry for the steamboat men, for the
| only entry into the new land of promise
was by way of the Mississippi river. All

who sell milk in the city, and they own
in the aggregate about 5000 cows. Every
herd and barn will be inspected. All milk
will be examined to see that it is what
it Is supposed to be, and if the inspector
gets the impression that any one has
been playing with a pump handle too IN
dustriously he will take measures accord
ingly.
Among other things the inspector will
want to know about the sanitary condi-
lions of the barns. He will examine
thoroughly as to the cleanliness of every
place. He will want to know what the
cows are fed; what bedding they get, and
where the milk is kept. He will also see
if all cans are clean, and likewise all
utensils. He will make record as to
whether the milk is sold wholesale or re-
tail in individual cases and as to whether
herds have received the tuberculin test

Asks for Plumbing Inspector.

Mayor Anes favors the appointment
of a sanitary inspector to look after the
plumbing in the city. The doctor was
of the opinion that sanitary plumbing
was most important in connection with
the city's health. He knew of hundreds
residences and places of business that
were contaminated by sewer gas, and he
wanted the mistakes of the past in the
matter of plumbing reeti6ed ybeing
more careful in the future.

The bill before the legislature to have
money appropriated for the erection of a

the subject of an address by DR.. H J..
Taylor at the Chamber Of Commerce
yesterday. The bill has already been
cordially approved by the chamber, but
it has been. by that body, recommended
hence. DIR. Taylor is In favor of the

fession of the city and with their CO.
operation and that of others who are
anxious for a trial Of the law which the
Dill contemplates, it. may be submitted
to the present legislature and made a

by half than those dying from any other
single disease. The speaker declared
that science would bear him out In tbs
