SAD DAY FOR Dogs
The Catcher Begins the Work Of
Execution.
DOGS ARE DROWNED IN RIVER
Crates Several at
Time.

At 2 o'clock this afternoon, under the
supervision Of Dog Catcher Levi German,
Dennis Redmond and w. H. Sherman, MS
aides, commenced the execution OF some
forty dogs. which had not been fitted out
with muzzles in compliance with the re-
cent order Of Mayor Ames. The men
took the dogs from their place OF conhne-
ment in the pound and bundled them,
one, two or three at time, according to
their size, in wooden crate. This crate
was then. carried to the river bank at
Seventeenth avenue N and placed on hat
boat The boat was then rowed out into
the stream and the crate, with It's con-
tents, was thrown overheard After the
crate had been under water sufficient
time it was drawn up and the bodies Of
the animals were disposed Of.
It was long tiresome piece Of business
for the executioners and they sighed
dolefully when reminded that, as yet, they
had made no appreciable diminution in the
number of stray dogs running about In
the streets of the city. a&
Work Proceeds Too Slowly.
The dog catcher believes that the work
of corralling the unmuzzled CANNES is
progressing altogether too slowly. Three
wagons, he says, will be necessary to en-
able the completion of the work within
three months.
Dogs Know q Few Things.
The dog catching business Is turning
out to be a battle of wits. The homely,
for1orn-looking ours that hang around the
kitchens of down town restaurants and
hotels are rising In the opinion OF the
dog man every day.. In many instances,
he says, they display almost human in
stinct. There Is one mongrel in particu-
lar that has baftied every attempt OF the
wagon to run him down. He has hung
about the corner of Hennepin and Wash
ington avenues for about eight years, &C
cording to patrolmen who have walked
that beat. When the mayors order was
issued his early death was predicted.
When the order became effective and the
dog wagon started on it's rounds the pa
trolman on the corner 'phoned the dog
catcher to send the wagon for this dog,
which was then basking In the spring sun
near the corner. The wagon arrived an
hour later, but, just before it rolled up
the dog skunk off into parts unknown.
The patrolman and the dog men
searched for him in vain. Within a few
minutes after the wagon had departed the
cur strolled leasurely back and took its
accustomed place. The wagon has made
four trips to the corner upon calls from
the patrolman there for this same dog,
but he has always evaded them. There
have been several such instances. Citi-
Gems in all parts of town have 'phoned
for the wagon to take unmuZzled dogs,
but in almost every instance they have dis
appeared by the time the wagon has ar
rived. Mr. German has, therefore, in
structed the wagon to patrol certain sec
tons on certain days, and as this work
is to be systematic the wagon will be
able to get over the entire city within a
month. Mr.. German says, however, that
several such complete surveys of the City
will be necessary before the dogs can be
rounded up. 81 - T.. ',s-

MODERN WOOD NYMPHS
Hold Down Homesteads Near Big

Hold Down Homesteads Near Big
Fork River. -
Five young Minneapolis women are
homesteading 1t near Big Fork River in
Cass county, according to George J. King,
the Pelican Lake, hotel man, who has been
living with his wife on neighboring
claim. 49,. 20 +
King says the women will spend the
summer on their claims. ~ =
These women went out with store
clothes, wraps and furs, but are now
wearing blanket skirts and Jackets. They
were armed. when they went into the
woods, with lathtng hatchets and meat
saws, but they have substituted four
pound axes, and tWo-men saws. The two
bachelor storekeeprs In the wilderne ss
were astonished when the five damsels
paraded up to the store for supplies. One
young woman needed shoes as hers were
worn out. The best the bachelors could
offer were German wool socks, and, while
the young woman was waiting for pair
of small sized lu1nberman's oYershoes she
went about the forest with the socks and
pair of birch bark soles dashed to her
feet with binding twine.
Mr.. King says the young women are
expert in the use of the ak. They can
cut down trees, but the stumps look like
the work Of beavers; They are more
careful now, for in Telling tree they
managed to drop it on one of the cabins,
and the owner was compelled to go visit
ing until her house could be rebuilt.
'"They are the grittiest bunch ever
saw, and didn't think they would stay
one night in the woods" said Mr.. King.
But they appear to enjoy it, and none OF
them have been sick since they settled on
their claims early in the winter. They
will be back on their claims again this
summer. It will be easier for them to go
back for they have cut three miles of road
through the timber and when they strike
that road there is no danger of their
getting lost unless the beavers work
cross cut on them while they are away. :

"ToPsY TURvY'' AT THE DEWEY

The ''Topsy Turvy'' hurlesquers are at the
Dewey this week and the entertainment they
provide Is we'll calculated to amuse patrons
of that playhouse. The program consists Of
the usual two burlesques and intervening olio.
The burlesqnes, "At the Topsy Turvy BALI
and. ''The Wreck of the Topsy Turyy', are
we'll staged and effectively costumed More
over they are genuinely funny. Among the
characters of the concluding act are Happy
Holligan, Go-Won-Go-Way- Back Dick Dead
eye, Venus Flanagan, McDooley Of Chi
cago and other. trayerty portraits of various
celebrities, including as a matter of course,
Chief Croker. The idea of Sat the Topsy
Turvy BalP' has been taken from the French
ball episode in Hoyt's ga Trip to China
town." -,--t,. 4. >. - a.ls'' ~
There are several good things In the olio.,
Burt Fuller contributes a number Of realistic
limitations Of animals, persons and things,
accompanying the whole with most anus
ing "patter." His imitations of the noise
made by trolley car, and a circular saw
are the best o. his act. The Great Harl-,
1ngford'' presents a sketch In which he him
self impersonates all the characters. The act
was deservedly popular with last nights audi
ence.. Hanley and Jarvis, rapid fire wits, con-
tributed a dialogue that is both funny and
new; and Levine and Alma do Accntorton
land slack wire .'stunt' that is we'll above
the average. Their final exit, in which the
woman member Of the team is carried off the
stage in a carpet bag, is very funny. Fanny
Lewis sings a number of songs, among them
the old, favorite- ''Bridge of Sfghs," for
which stereoptieon, company has provided
| illustrations. Her act is programmed as "a
Series of illustrated Pictures;'' a Pathological
and redundant pleonasm that is not bad in
| itself Thesprogram man also takes a fall out
of the French language by billing Jeanette
Land Shaw as 1.-The Petite Chansonettes." q

one, commercially free from the:syulgarity
which many managers of burlesque9 seem to
consider an Indispensable adjunct to their

JAMESA. CROSS ARRESTED
HIS ACCOUNTS SAID TO he MIXED
Has Been Bookkeeper for Scanlon-
GIBSON Company for Six
Years. . ..''

James A. Cross, aged %, bookkeeper
for the Scanlon- Gipson Lumber company,
who resides at POS Harvard street Sc, is
under arrest charged with embezzling sew
eral thousand dollars Of the company's
money by means of forged checks. He
was apprehended by members of James
Hoy's detective agency, at Staples, Mimi,
yesterday, as he was about to take a train
for Seattle. A brother, Fred Cross, aged
81, is accused of completely in the pecula-
tions. H. ..---
James Cross had been in the employ Of
the Scanlon- Gipson company for nearly
six years. Friday morning Mr.. Gipson,
of the firm, noticed some irregularities in
Cross accounts and asked for an ex-
PLANTATION. The bookkeeper made an ap-
parently satisfactory statement and moth
ing more was said. Cross, however, did
not return from lunch at the usual hour;
a hurried examination Of his books
showed that he was short in his accounts
about $4,000, and Detective Hoy was In
structed to find him. -
Mr.. Hoy traced Cross to st. Paul, and
thence to Duluth, where he found Cross
had departed for Seattle. Mr.. Hoy had
expected this and had sent. deputies to
Staples to intercept Cross, as he would
have to change, cars there. Mr.. Hoy
promptly wired his assistants at Staples,
who arrived in Staples just as the train
bearing cross was about to leave. They
arrested him, finding on his person about
5000 in money and revolver, and brought
him back to Minneapolis. The arrest was
made within twenty -four hours from the
time the case was given Mr.. Hoy.
The brother, Fred Cross, denies knowl-
edge Of his brothers dealings with his
employer. Investigation showed, how
ever, that a note had been sent to the
Germania bank, through which the Scan
n-Gipson company did part Of it's
business. saying that an illness Of Mr..
Gipson, who usually signed all the checks
of the firm, Mr.. Cross would sign the
checks for the company. It Is said that
many checks were drawn and the money
not used in the interests Of the firm.
Finally, the bank notified Mr.. Cross that
they would not honor any more checks
unless signed by Mr.. Gtpson. It is thought
that possibly the brother, Fred Cross,
wrote the note to the bank, signing Mr..
Gipson's / name, and he Is. accused OF
forgery. ...r .''s-...'. p. .1e
~ Cross Brothers ArraiEned,
The Cross brothers were arraigned in
police court this morning on a charge OF
forgery. James Cross, the bookkeeper
waived preliminary examination. Fred
Cross was examined this afternoon.

"JACK" is IN TOWN
Men From the Woods Come In in
Large Numbers.

1t is estimated that at least thousand
laborers have come to Minneapolis from
the wods since last Friday. The streets
in the vicinity of the old city hall and the
Union station were crowded with lum-
berjacks to-day. Many of them signed
for other work immediat ely and will
leave the city within a day or two.
The demand for men is heavy. Rail-
road construction crews will be wanted in
Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa before the
end of the week, unless there is another
severe cold snap which the weather man
says is hardly probable. Last year" rail-
road const ruction work could not be COM
menced until about April Is.
The recent snow storm in the Dakotas
will set the work there back about three
weeks, it Is estimated. Many. laborers
prefer summer work in the Dakotas so
that they will be on hand when the har-
vest begins

Hennepin island will be taken up at
Joint meeting of the board of health and

morning. Health Commissioner Hall still
believes that there is no good reason for
opposing the projected change. The TACT
that the university authorities have just
made arrangements to establish a crema-
tory of similar type in the medical
building on the campus for the destruc-
ton of medical refuse there, ought to
satisfy the East Siders that a garbage
crematory on the island will be no. null
sance to- them, he holds. Professor
Wesbrook of the medical department in
vestigated the operations of the crema-
tory last week and was convinced that it
was success and could be operated any
where without creating a nuisance.

Our Faith I'm 1t is

We do wish all to know, however, that
we enthusiastically endorse Vinol, be-
cause We all have investigated and know

The main thing to which Vinol owes
its merit is the medicinal elements in

These same elements have been col
looted from the liver of the cod, and
having been freed from the obnoxious
grease, that made cod liver oil so unpop-

amount of iron, is all our Vinol is. =
In all cases of chronic coughs, bron-
