John Harper, who yesterday poked
his fist through the big plate glass
window at Bankers saloon on TWEEN
ty-siXth street, will be given time to
think it over, the magistrate having
bound him over to the grand jury this
morning under $500 bonds, a sum
that will probably hold him behind
the bars at least till the meeting of
the next grand jury in January. Har-
per admits having been drunk yester-
day, but declares that he does not re-
member anything that transpired.
There were two witnesses, however.
that were able to swear that he had
deliberately taken a swipe at the
glass, apparently just to see it crack.
Edward O'Brien today was placed
under 800 bonds by Magistrate John

he has been causing trouble at their

made their reports and the affairs of
the past season were wound up.
The reports showed that all obi

that while the balance was on the
wrong side, the association was III
good condition, and measures were
at once taken looking to the work
for next season.
In view of the fact that it is neces-
sary to change the location of the ball
park, reports were heard from COM
mittees having in hand the work of
selecting a new. site, with the result
that plans are under way for the es-
tablishment of new park to meet

IN SAME BOAT
Iron Ore Road Suits as Seen
at Duluth Trouble
for Evan"
Special to The Journal.

Special to The journal.
Duluth. Mimi, March 13.--The opinion
among attorneys here is that Governor
Van SAINT will run against exactly the
same proposition in the suit against the
iron ore roads and the United States Steel
Corporation as against the Northern Sc
curities company. In other words the po-
sition of the steel corporation and ore
roads is precisely similar, so far as rhe
legal attack is concerned as that of the
Northern Securities and traascOntinental
lines.
The United States Steel Corporation
has no Office or officer here or anywhere
in Minnesota. It is a New JERSEY cor
poration.
The Duluth G. Iron Range is a Mime
sofa corporation and was owned by the
Minnesota Iron company, which became
part Of the Federal Steel company. The
Duluth, Missabe& Northern road was
owned by the Lake Superior Consolidated
Iron mines. a New Jersey concern whose
government was in the hands Of three
trustees Most Of its stock was turned
over for stock of the United States Steel
Corporation, but some is probably out
standing independently.
The roads are managed abous as inde-
IDENTITY and separately as when they We're
totally disconnected. EtzEs1
