TH|ELS ARE TURNED DOWN
JUDGE BRILL RULES AGAINST
AGENCY I'm LONG-PENDING
CASE
WE'RE ILLEGALLY EMPLOYED
Judge Holds County Commissicners
Had No Authority to Employ
Outside Help In Middle
ton Murder Case.

By reason of Mayor Smiths refusal to
indorse an order authorized by the board
Of county commissioners, Ramsey coun-
ty is now to the good something like
$67957 The amount in question is for
services rendered by the Thiel Detective
agency in connection with the Middleton
murder mystery in 1898, and Judge Brill
made an order yesterday denying the
relief demanded and authorizing the ex-
punging of the petition for a peremtory
writ of mandamus to compel payment.
The bill had been before the commits
sioners at varying times ever since it
was contracted, and finally after con-
sultation with those who ordered the
work done, it was decided to pay the
amount. Mayor Smith claimed the
action of the commissioners was with
out authority and as chairman of the
board refused to affix his signature to
the order issued by the auditor.
The bill, as fled by the detective
agency, itemized services and expenses
separately, the latter being divided into
such items as, getting information -
"cultiVating suspects Subsistence"
incidental expenses" hotel bills, lunch
es, street car fare, etc. For services,
1854 was charged, while the expenses list
footed up $325.57 Tie company was
pointly employed by the county attorney
and commissioners at the time.
Briefly the findings as made by Judge
Brill are to the effect that the commits
sioners had no legal authority to emplo?
the detective agency. Their powers are
wholly statutory and In this case there
was no law sanctioning their act. The
county attorney, he holds has no author
ity to employ others outside of his own
official force to ferret out and punish
criminals
Judge Brill in his opinion suggests that
1t might be well to enlarge the powers
Of the county officers to limited de-
gree in criminal matters, but persons not
public officers should not have the power
to incur expenses ad libftum and charge
the county with the same.
It is understood that the detective
agency will appeal the case to the SUI
preme court not being satisfied with the
opinion of Judge Brill that the authori-
ties they cited did not apply in their
particular case, as far as the statutory
provisions Of Minnesota were concerned.

CHICAGO, April 18.-A dispatch to the
Record Herald from Indianapolis says:
Gov. Durbin has received a long letter
from Secretary Root, in which a full,
explicit statement is made Of the facts
connected with the discharge Of Russell
Harrison from the army. Secretary Root
says that he, after a conference with the
president, directed the discharge CT Col.
Harrison, and that Adjt. Gen Corbin
simply acted In his official capacity in
issuing the orders.
BY inadvertence the discharge was
made to take effect Dec 1, instead of
Dec. 10, a matter which the secretary re-
grets. Mr.. Har1ison's services were dis
pensed with. the secretary states be-
cause they were no longer needed, and fo1
no other reason. The transfer of the
government of Porto Rico from the mil
1taTy to the civil authorities with the
consequent withdrawal of troops, re-
qu1red g. reduction in the volunteer de-
partment, and, as Mr.. harrison could not
be retained in Porto Rico and there was
no ether place to assign him, he was
given an honorable discharge.

HURON TO ATLANTIC.
Canal Projected From Georgian Ba,

Canal Projected From Georgian Bay
to Montreal.
. DETROIT. Mich, April .H-The Trib-
une tomorrow will say: Private adyices
received in Detroit yesterday indicate,
that there is great vitality in the CAM
dian canal project for connecting
Georgian bay with the Atlantic ocean.
The route Of the canal is to be up the
French river to Lake Nipissing, across
the divide to the Mattawan river, which
will be followed to it's junction with the
Ottawa river, and then down the Ottawa
river to Montreal. The canal is to be a
waterway twenty-five feet deep. It Is
said that out of the whole 615 miles dis
lance from Sault Ste Marie to Montreal
by this route there is only 80 miles Of
canal, the rest is lake navigation or I'M
proved or canalized river navigation. The
canal is to be built by an English svndi-
cate, but there is also American capital
in the enterprise. The cost OF the wa
terway will be about SCI, 900, coo and it is
undertaken in the belief that it is a. good
investment Of the money. The route has
been very carefully surveyed and the
original estimates were nearly $4,000 600
less than the revised figures.

LAMPREY ASKS $4,000
ST. PAUL LAWYER ENTERS SUIT
AGAINST ST. PAUL & CHICAGO
RAILWAY COMPANY
RUSSELL SAGE MADE A PARTY
Action Arises From Agreement as
to Reward for Services in
Connection With Land
Grants.

Uri L. Lamprey, the we'll known ST.
Paul attorney, would like to be reim-
bursed to the amount of $4,000 by the
st. Paul & Chicago Railway company,
the Farmers Loan and Trust company,
and Russell Sage, the Eastern capitalist
The amount in dispute is for services
rendered by Mr.. Lamprey, and the pa
pers in the case, by agre ement between
the parties concerned, were yesterday
transferred from Otter Tail county to
the Ramsey county district court.
According to the complaint, which is a
vouminous document, Mr. Lamprey
bases his claim on an agreement made
with the railroad company In 1887, when,
in consideration for services rendered in
wringing from the clutches of the tax
collector thousands of acres of land own
ed by the company in Minnesota, he was
to receive certain lands located in Otter
Tail. Douglas Stearns, RenVille and
Grant counties, the whole amounting to
about 100000 acres. Unable to financially
cucumber himself with such a vast es-
tate Mr.. Lamprey says he arranged
with the company to deed him gradually,
as sales were made, that the property
might without delay be turned into
cash
The agreement. he says, was observed
until April / 1900 when his demands for
6eeds were ignored and he was inform
ed that his requests were no longer to
be hOnored.
Not satisfied with this, Mr.. Lamprey
alleges, the railway company immediate
ly began corresponding with intending
purchasers, informing them that the
land was the property of Russell Sage
and not Mr.. Lamprey. Sage also busted
himself in this respect. Where he had
leased hay privileges, the contracting
parties were warned off the land and
In several instances at the point of a
shotgun.
The land in dispute and the loss sus-
tanned by reason of a decrease in value
at this date, Mr.. Lamprey says, are
easily worth $4,000, and this amount
together with a 10 per cent commission
for sales made, the pla' ntiff asks the
court to award him.
The Farmers Loan and Trust com
pany, as mortgage, is made a party to
the suit. Service has been made on Rus
sell Sage by directing a letter containing
the summons to his residence, sos Fifth
avenue, New York city.
The papers in the case were originally
fled in Otter Tail county last November,
but 1t was impossible to obtain service
on any Of the parties at that date. By
stipulation the transfer to this county
has been made.

GRIP INVADES GUAM.
Many of the Natives Have Died of
the Disease

SAN FRANCISCO, April 17-Advices
from Agan, island of Guam, bearing
date of March Il, say that the grip is
prevalent there, and that many native
children and adults are dying from it's
effects. Deaths result mainly because
OF the difficulty of lmpressing on the
natives the necessity of caring for the
sick properly. The result OF the re-
cent typhoon was more disastrous than
at first reported. About twenty-eight
natives lost their lives, and many were
seriously injured. Nearly all OF the
houses were unrocfed, and the govern
or's palace was SO badly damaged that
the water poured into the main sitting
room and library and ruined most of the
furnishings. During the height OF the
storm the American soldiers went about
in raincoatS and escorted the people
from their wretchcd dwellings to places
OF shelter. The sea was forced up by
the wind, and the water was waist deep
in the main street The government
set up sheltering places, and served
coffee and bread to the homeless.

DARLINGTON. KY, April 17.-Informa

the union miners of that coal field are
preparing for an armed invasion Of Hop
kins county this week. A message from
evansville stated that the miners Of
Southern Indiana had notified the oper-
ators that after Thursday afternoon they
would not work any more for three days,
and that the mines would lie idle for that
time. They did mot. say for what pur-
pose, but it is believed that the shut down
is for the purpose of making an invasion
into Kentucky and Hopkins county, to
terrlfy and coerce the non-union miners
OF THIS county so that they cease work.
From Bonneville message came later,
saying that sixty men there had been
buying guns and pistols with the avowed
purpose of going to Hopkins county
