The N. w. w. A.

The championship Of the northwest and OF
Minneapolis was contested for last Saturday
by teams from the Park and st. Anthony
Whist Clubs. The match was an extra edi-
ton affair, it having been found to be tied
at the end Of the forty-eight deals, and II
was consequently necessary to play eight adj
ditional deals, the Park club finally winning
by five tricks. The winning team was E. u
Phelps, captain; A. C. Paul, W. T.. Fraser
and F. NJ Barnard. H. B. Gray, w. p
Satterlee, D. r. Higbee and F. p. Barney
played for St..sAnthony. The score by deals

Matches. Won.
A Local Deal.

The deal published this week was played in
one Of the matches at the local club during
the tournament just past. The deal was
played at ten tables and the score should
have been an easy slam for every North and
South player, but. strange as it may seem,
the hand was played correctly at but two
tables. The hand which the South player
held is the one which is responsible for the
making or breaking of the play. The loss
at every table was caused by his failure to
lead the trump at the proper moment. The
cards which are held by the South player
would warrant an opening of the trump suit
great length and strength in the spade suit
Hands which call for a short lead of trumps
have usually no suit Of any great length
but have strength in all the suits. and the
lead of the trumps is almost always made
with the intention of throwing the Lead in
order that your good suit cards may have the
best possible chance to make. In this in
stance, the spade suit is SO long and strong
that it is apparent to every one that 1t must
be the objective point of the hand, and, as
it is not fully established, the first business
must be to clear it. At trick two, most Of
the players got frightened and abandoned
the suit just as it got good. This is the way
the hand was played, at one of the two tables
making the slam:

Head Sawed Off.

Berkeley, CAL, July IA human head
that had been sawed from the body of a
man just above the collar bone was found
on the bank of creek that flows through
La Iona, a pretty spot behind North
Berkeley, and one frequented by picnick-
ing parties. The head was that of mid
die aged man, and had been severed from
the body by some one unfamiliar with
surgical dissection, according to medical
experts who have examined it.
The preservation of the textures is re-
markable. The face has the appearance
of having been placed in some fluid to
prevent decomposition. The flesh is not
sun bleached, SO the theory that the head
had been used for experimental purposes
at some medical institute and subsequent
ly discarded is dissipated.

Packing House Fire.

Chicago, July by fire which
broke out in their plant at the stockyards,
Swift & Co. suffered loss which is es-
timated by the officials of the company at
100000. The fire was confined to one
building, standing at the intersection OF
Packers avenue and Broadway. This
structure was four stories high, built of
brick, and was 800 feet square. The first
floor was occupied by the wholesale meat
market of the company, the second by
the shipping department and the third
and fourth by the general Offices of the
company. The latter are said to have
been the largest single offices in the Unit
ed States, more than 800 employees work.
ing in a single room. The cause of the
fire is not known, but it was discovered
near the engine room. 1t spread SO rap
idly through the building that it was
found impossible to save anything in the
structure. The first arrivals of the fire
department were unable to check the fire,
and repeated calls were sent in, but all
the engines were not able to prevent the
destruction of the building. Within an
hour after the fire was discovered the
building was ruined, although the fire
continued to blaze for long time.
The burned building adjoined portions
of the plants of Armour & Co., and Lib
by, Mcneil & Libby, and for a time the
fire department had desperate fight to
keep these buildings from the flames. The
wind was blowing strong from the south
west, and at times the flames were touch
ing the sides of Armour's building, but
the firemen managed to confine the fire
to the building in which it had broken
out. All the books and office records of
Swift & Co. were in the burned building,
but they are thought to be safe, as they
were in fireproof vaults.
w. J. McGonigle, superintendent of the
plant, said that the loss will aggregate
fully 100000.
There were, he said, 1922 beeves in the
building and great quantities Of green
hides and tallow. The general supplies of
the company were stored in the meat
market and in the cellars, and everything
in and about the building was destroyed.
The insurance carried by the company
will cover all losses.

country If summer trade is to reach its
full development. Eastern cities note
the check given by the weather to re-

most torrential rains reported in the
Central West. Winter wheat harvest

To just what extent injury has been
done will remain for warm, fine
weather to disclose.
Wool is in quite active demand in

Lumber is quieter at the East, but
supplies of all kinds are low and prices
are firmer. Builders hardware is still
active.
Wheat, including flour, exports for
the five days ending July 2, aggregated
3,211,215 bushels against 1882, 701
