of his case as events bearing thereupon
transpire in this city.
1t was stated last night that Ike Leder-
err the well known clothing salesman of
this city, had seen Whitehorne in Duluth
last Monday or Tuesday, but as the for
mer could not be found the report was
not verified.
Another theory is that he has skipped
to Canada, and that he is watching the
trend of events from that comparatively
safe point of vantage, but this rumor
could not be confirmed. One thing is GER
tain, however, which is that he has not
been apprehended.
When seen last night, Sheriff Justus
said that he was still on the trail of the
fugitive, but that ne had nothing of in
terest to give out.
A report was circulated yesterday that
Whitehorne had been sequestered by
George Walsh. his attorney, and that
for the past three nights he had been
playing cinch bean bag or basket bali
with the members of the latters family
but Mr.. Walsh emphatically denies any
knowledge of his clients whereabouts.
Yesterday Mr. Walsh and Mrs White
horne made a search of the safe in the
Office of Whitehorne in the Endicott ar
cade, but the contents revealed nothing
of much value.
connecting him with altering the records
in the auditors office, it is said that
Whitehorne made a real estate deal
whereby he succeeded in getting a certi-
fled check for over $780, and if this is
the case, he went away provided with
ample means to pay his travelling ex-
penSes

COMPANY IS BLAMED
DEATH OF CONSTANT BALY COULD
HAVE BEEN AVOIDED
COrOner's Jury Finds That Cars Are
Being Run at Rate of Speed
Faster Than Law
Allows

The coroners jury, in the death Of Con-
slant Baly, killed by a Saltwater car
Wednesday noon, yesterday returned a
verdict in which it severely criticised the
company in several ways. The verdict of
the jury in full was as follows: -"
That said Constant Baly came to his
death by collision with a Saltwater car,
belonging to the Twin City Rapid Tran
sit company, on Wabasha street, between
Fifth and Sixth streets, in the city of
st. Paul, at about II o'clock e. m. on
the 31st day of July, 1901.
That the said car was running at too
high q rate of speed.
That said company IT. c. R. T. Coz
requires a rate of speed by it's Saltwater
cars on Wabasha, Fifth and Broadway
streets that is dangerous and contrary
to the city ordinances.
That said Twin City Rapid Transit
company was negligent in not properly
instructing its employees as to their du-
ties pertaining to observance of city ordi-
nances and the proper handling of it's
cars in cases of emergency.
The members OF the jury were: Jerry
O'Brien, Frank Battley, G. S. Tousley, A.
M. Ward, Edward f. Corrigan and Ed
ward Meyerding.
A number of witnesses We're examined,
including the motorman and conductor on
the car that killed Mr.. Baly. I. S. BoOr,
the motorman, under Observation-Disclosures
conducted by D. W. Lawler, admitted
that the accident could have been avoid
ed had he reversed the car when he first
saw Mr.. Baly approaching the tracks
Mr.. Boor also said that they have only
seven minutes to get from Seventh and
Wabasha to Seventh and Broadway, and
have to run fast to make this time.
Assistant County Attorney O'Nei1 rep
resented the county, and George Folds
the street car company.

RAISE PRICE OF COAL
LOCAL DEALERS DECLARE AN ADJ
VANCE OF 10 CENTS
A TON
ANOTHER ADVANCE IS COMING
At End of the Month Price VIII BE
Made $S.25 Per Ton, With
Possibility of Further
Rise.

st. Paul dealers yesterday raised the
price of egg, stove and nut ccal 10 cents
a ton, and the ruling quotations are now
$S15 per ton, with the consolatory assur-
ance that Sept. l will see prices raiszd
to at least $825.
None Of the dealers seems to be able
to advance any particular reason for the
advance in quotations beyond that it is
one of the sacred traditions Of the bust
ness to raise rates just about the time
that people need their winter coal. It
has been done for forty years or more,
and a break in the rule would be re-
garded in the light of heinous profess
sional offense.
Apart from the raising in prices, which
is only in the course of traditional prac-
tice, it seems that the st. Paul coal firms
are this year considerably behind in their
winter importations, and up to date not
more than one-quarter of the regular
winter supply has reached the city. In
the past month net more than one boat
load of hard coal has reached the ety.
and all the dealers are anxious to get
their customary shipments in the city
before cold weather threatens the safety
Of navigation. All of the cCal comes via
the great lakes, and a number of boats
are expected to arrive with supplies at
the head of these lakes within the next
two weeks Last year at this time all
of the coal supply firms had received
most Of their winter stocks, but at pres
ent none of them can supply more than
enough for current demand.
1t is a notice able fact, according to one
prominent coal man, that a raise in the
price Of black diamonds always produces
a sudden slackness in the demand, and
this is peculiar in view Of the fact that
there is no possibility Of prices dropping
to their former level At the end of this
month the price Of coal will be raised
to $8.25 a ton, and just before the end
of the month, he says, people will make
a frantic rush to stock up for the winter
before the impending raise. They appear
to hope against hope for sudden break
in prices, something which, considering
the complete manner in which THE coal
interests are organized, is impossible.
For bituminous coal prices remain I'M
changed, that for domestic use being
quoted at $40 per ton and steam coal
in car load lots is held at $40. Coal
dealers think that these figures Will lie
unchanged throughout the winter They
persist in the statement, however, that
anthracite coal will be held at $8.25 per
ton on and after Sept. l.

able consideration at the hands of the
aldermen, but in the assembly it was
turned down. Later new ordinance
somewhat modified, was handed in and
yesterday the committee refused to i'm
mediately consider it.
In previous efforts of the company to
secure a franchise. G. r. O'Reilley was
the principal obstructionist and at yes
terdays meeting he spoke against the
granting of the franchise. He claimed to
represent 900 feet of property on the
streets where the company dsired to lay
its mains. He said the property owners
were opposed to the scheme on the
ground that it would cause the ruination
Of the paving. While ostensbly allowing
the company to heat and light It's own
buildings, the proposed franchise he
claimed permitted the supplying of the
entire business district without even pro-
tecting the public to the extent of pro-
Vidtng a maximum rate for service

Another heating and lighting PROPOSE
ton to receive equally as scant courtesy
was the application of the Imperial Man
ufacturing company, which desires to
enter the field as a competing agent
against the gas company.

pany, came prepared to prove the claims
of his clients, but the members said they
desired time for investigation and the
matter was continued for a week. when
it will be made a special order of bust

Even in the event of an ordinance be-
ing granted, Mr.. Michaels said his COM
pany could not lay any mains this year.
but they would construct their central
power station. He said the company was
amply backed by capital, the statements
of number of outsiders to the contrary
notwithstanding.

JULY A RECORD MONTH
RECORD FOR HEAT ESTABLISHED
Liberal RAINFALL.

Ordinarily rather dry reading, the reg
ular meteorological summary issued by
Observer Lyons for July this year is an
interesting document in view of it's rather

other months.

passes into history as the hottest month
in thirty-one years, while for one days
temperature, July "a, when the thermom-
eter registered 104 above, the bureau &C
knowledges itself beat, as no known
readings approach it 10y at least three
degrees.
During three days of the month the
heat was in excess of 100, while at no
time during the month was the temper
allure below 70. The average heat for the
month was IS degrees.
While a record breaker in respect to
heat, July was not by any means ''shy''
in respect to rain, the entire fall amount
ing to 230 inches. The heaviest fall was
the day after the thermometer rose to
104, when the fall amounted to &c inches.

CASS LAKE 1ND1ANS
snow SlGNS OF WAR.

Aside from other considerations an
other problem confronts the citizens Of
Cass Lake which is a Serious enc, and
this involves the question of dealing with
a possible Indian outbreak. Accord ng to
Editor Bernard, the Indians are growing
very sulky, and recently some of the
chiefs have come to town arrayed in war
feathers and they make all sorts Of I'M
reasonable demands, claiming that the
whites have no right to settle on the
reservation.
Only a short time ago some of the
braves, one of whom a son of Moose
Dung, the former leader of the Cass Lake
tribes, called at the sanctum of Mn Ber-
nard, and they We're attired in all kinds
of forgery, indicating that they were
there for business.
The painted braves protested against
what they deemed the encroachment of
the white man, and they were not paci-
fed until cigars, tobacco and some edi-
bles were passed around. They finally
left for Their tepees on the reservation,
but the continual mutter1ngs of the
chiefs and head medicine men indicate
that serious storm may be brewing.

Among the visitors in St Paul yester-
day were Roland Hartley, former private
secretary to ex-Gov. Clough, and now
vice president and manager of the Cass
Lake Land company, and A. G. Bernard,
editor of the Walker Pilot and the Cass
Lake Voice.
AS stated in another column Mr.. Hart
ley's visit to st. Paul was for the pur-
pose of comforting with the state author
tiles relative to the action of the squat
ters in trespassing on the school dis
trict of the new town, which has had an
almost phenomenal growth of late.
Referring to the town of Cass Lake he
said that his company has recently COM
pleted one Of the finest hotels in the
country, and it is now engaged in per-
fecting the electric light, the water and
paving systems, all of which are I'M
Ger way, and which are regarded as
marvels Of modern convenience
What is now wanted, accord ng to Mr..
Hartley, who expresses the sentiment Of
the majority of residents Of the town
and county, is the opening of the reser-
walton, which it is hoped will be accom-
plished in a short time.
