MADE GOOD HAUL
Two Men Have Slot Machine
Scheme.
STOP DIAL WITH A WIRE
And Win Whenever They
Want To.

Two strangers made the rounds Of the
saloons yesterday and last night and
worked a scheme on the slot machines.
The men would go into place and begin
playing the machines ard while one Of
them wasted his nicNes the other was
fixing up the mako a winning game. The
men had with them a small push gin.let.
3-l6 of an inch in size, and this the man
put up against the side Of the machine
and it was an easy job to perforate the
wood. Then the man would insert a
small brass wire in the hole and when
his partner put the money in the slot and
the dial began to roll the man would
wait until tae wheel had almost stopped
and then push in MS wire and stop the
dial wherever he wanted to- If given
time enough ana the wheel did not stop
on the right spot, they could work the
wheel beck and compel the keeper TO
pay up. II was a very clever scheme
and the men made several dollars on the
game, as it was a sure thing for ther

place on West Douglas avenue. and took

Then they went to the Royal and got
pile Of niclIeis. Then they went up to
Cap Peters place and tried to work their
game there, but were caught in the act
and one Of the men knocked down. They
made their escape and then went to the
Senate and worked their scheme there
for good sum.
The men are strangers and came to
this city TO try their luck. It seems that
the men have been making all the large
towns of the state with their wire and
gimlet. and have been making good money
at it and they are also wise fellows. for
they skip when they have made a good
haul.

in a neighboring settlement. They
prided themselves on their ability to
wrestle and fight and put every new
conner to the test. They soon heard Of
Lincoln and were anxious to try his
mettle. Lincoln was not a brawler
and did not court contests Of that
character except as a means to an end;
but Orfutt entered readily into the
spirit of the thing and Dragged so
much about what Lincoln could do
with the terrors that affairs reached a
crisis and no had to yield TO public

In the

Washington, Jan. %. - The senate
turned from the grind Of appropria-
lions yesterday to listen to a speech
which partook of the character of an
grafton from Senator Towne Of Min
nesota. Since he entered the senate a
few weeks ago on appointment of Gov.
Lind, II young Minnesotan has had
little o.. ~'ortunity to display his tall
ents. AS his reputation as an orator
had preceded him there was much in
terest in his speech, which was in ad-
vocacy of his resolution for a cessa-
ton of hostilities in the Philippines.
The floor was crowded with senator's
and members of the house of repre-
sentatives, the latter including Repre-
sentatives Littlefeld, Mccall. Cooper
and others, who have been prominent
In insular legislation. The galleries.
public and private. were cowded to
overlooking. The speech abOunded in
aTostrophes to liberty and patriotism
and scathing and s~cornful arraign-
ment Of the policy by which the Fill
pinos were being annihilated.
Immediately following Mr.. Towne's
speech the credentials of his successor,
Mr.. Clapp of Minnesota, were present
ed, and after being sworn in the new
senator took his seat and Mr.. Towne
retired. The rest Of the day was de-
voted TO the Indian appropriation bin,
he discussion turning on irrigation
and little progress being made.
In the House.
The major portion of the day IN the
house was occupied in the transaction
Of District Of Columbia business. The
bin TO revise and codify the postal
laws which has been under considera-
ton at intervals for ten days. was
finally passed. The most interesting
feature Of the day was an attempt to
secure a vote upon the senate bill to
appoint a commission to consider and
?~djudicate the claims of United States
citizens against Spain arising out of
the war with Spain which this gov
eminent assumed by the treaty Of
Paris. The matter was settled tenn
fOrarily by pOstponing consideration
of the bill until next Monday.

DEATH OF A TOWN.
Unpaid Bills for waterworks All
Thnf's Left of Merritt.

Duluth, Mimi, Feb. 3. The last
building of the first village on the
Mesaba range is being removed. At
one time Merritt had $500 people; next
week there will not be one board upon
another to mark it's site. All there is
left is the village debt for a water
works plant put in seven or eight years
ago. Merritt was at the late Cincin-
natl and Kanawha mines, but these
did not amount TO much and the rival
village Of Biwabik, a mile away, drew
all the business. Most of the houses
were moved some time ago., but the
Svea hotel remained until now.
