DOBBIN's RACE FOR LIFE
UNDo1NG OF 500 LOCOMOTIVE
Why Train Men Look for Trouble
on Line Near Kuhn,
N. Oak. s.. ~. -s-az

Out in western North Dakota, in the
cow country through which the Bismarck
branch of the 500 road runs, the natives
have nine days wonder in dead horse,
and the train men cast superstitious
glances along the rails. One wreck has
been caused by a sturdy horse, which ran
we'll while it ran and the superstition of
the train men prompts them to look for
two more of the same kind.
Kuhn is on that division OF the 500
where are raised the big cattle which
bring such profit and compliments to South
st. Paul. Since the Iowans began to in
wade Little Russia" as it has been
called, Kuhn and the surrounding country
have been producing just as sturdy horses
as cattle. The vigor of these big beasts
is the boast of the. ranchers in that part
of the country. The strength of one Of
these horses was put to severe test one
day last week, and at the finish loco
motive had left the track and the horse
manner inglorious =. -. i
The east bound 500 train came rolling
toward Kuhn at good rate of speed.
Suddenly 1,600-pound equine appeared
on the ties ahead. There was mad race
for a short distance and jolting finish.
The engine appeared to get the worst of
the jolt. Tender and all, it went off the
track and was forced to await the assist
ance Of the wrecking crew the next day.
The old timers who were in the country
when the railroad first appeared, contend
that this Is the first horse in those parts
which has successfully battled with a To-
comotive. The cow country has a new
claim to fame and the old resident, with
chin whiskers, gives the train men the
horse laugh while they unload onions,

A COOL WEEK
Light Rains Benefit Crops in Certain
Sections of Minnesota.

Sections of Minnesota.
+: The weather bureaus climate and crop
service bulletin for Minnesota for the
past week is summarized as follows:
The week has been cool one, with temper
atures on the morning of the 26th approach
Ing the point at which frosts are possible.
There have been very light rains in the north
west and in the extreme southeast on several
days, and rains in the southern half of the
state on the Gath and the morning of the 25th
which were very heavy locally, flooding low
lands in Brown, Blue Earth. lie Sueur and
Waseca counties. These rains were beneficial
in the southwest, where rain has been needed
for about two weeks. 1t is said that in the
Red river valley late sown grains are doing
very we'll, though many fields revery weedy,
but that some of the early wheat seems to
need warmer weather In other parts of the
state wheat, oats and barley are generally in
splendid condition, though in small areas on
light land the straw of wheat ard oats is
rather short. In central, southern and south
western counties some rust is reported in the
wheat. Where nthe April dust storms were
most severe, grain fields have a very uneven
stand; SOME are very thin and some too
thick The early barley Is generally well in
head, and wheat and oats are coming into
head. Much Of the early fax Is very good,
and it is in bloom Rye is nearing ripeness,
and 1t will be cut soon after July 4. Corn is
small, its growth being slow because of the
cool weather. The wild hay is heavy except
in parts of the southwest. Timothy and clo-
yer are also heavy; considerable clover Is al
| ready cut. though the weather has not been
favorable for curing hay. Timothy is about
ready to cut. Potatoes are good in most
places, though part OF the early crop in
| Anoka county is said to be spindling. Corn
| and potatoes are well cultivated. Strawberries
are ripening slowly. The frost on the NOR
| ming OF the Dist caused some injury to flax,
| corn, potatoes and gardens in the southwest
| ana in north central portions.

TO LEAVE The STAFF.
TWO ASSISTANT CITY PHYSICIANS
Drs. Clark and Cohen Must Quit
Sequel to Red Light Inspec-
ton System.

Assistant City Physicians Clark and
Cohen end their connection with City
Physician Nelson's staff tonight. Both
men refused to accept the suggestion of
the board of corrections and charities
that they resign, and yesterday DR.. Nell
son followed out the desires Of the board
by officially notifying them that he would
have no need of their services after
July l. PIT a
The necessity Of reducing expenses in
the city hospital department is given as
the reason for the discharge Of the two
assistants. but the real cause lies in their
connection with Mayor Ames' notorious
''red light" district inspection system.
Their discharge will effect a saving of
SITS month In the hospital pay roll. 1t
Is the intention to have their work done
by recent medical graduates, who will be
attached to the city hospital staff under
the title of "externes'' and be given their
room and board in return FOR their
services. r.>.'
Both Drs. Clark and Cohen insist that
as Mayor Ames was president of the board
of corrections and charities, they had no
option In the inspection matter, but ac-
cepted the work as in the line Of their
duties. When public sentiment finally
condemned the system they abandoned
the work voluntarily. They say there has
been no inspection since June l.

at LIE sueur Center.

Building of New Line Starts Boom
at LIE sueur Center.
Special to The Journal.
LIE Sueur Center, Mimi, July 1.--Work
is being rapidly pushed on the Mankato-
Pennington branch of the Milwaukee, and
LIE Sueur Center Is enjoying days OF
boom and prosperity as consequence.
There seems to be no question but that
the building of this extension will mean
thorough reclassifcation Of the indus
trial centers of southern Minnesota. LIE
Sueur Center, which is now the seat OF
LIE Sueur county, and a logical distrib-
uting point for a territory twenty tve
miles square, will realize a period OF
growth second only to the boom days OF
Minnesota's early settlements. Bust
ness lots are selling at fancy prices,
while enterprises are being located daily:
The vast resources and prosperity OF
farmers tributary to lie Sueur Center In
sure not only the success of all manner
of commercial ventures, but bid fair to
make the place a wholesale and jobbing
center of some Importance. .
The growth of LIE Sueur Center Will
mean the gradual decay of other towns
now within the territory of the county
seat. 1t is thought by men conversanl
with local conditions that Montgomery
will be compelled to yield her 1aurels tc
LIE Sueur Center.

A GRAND JURY RULING
Judge Brooks Holds 1t Is n State
Institution.

Grand juries must keep well within the
statutes In contracting expenses, for the
county is not liable for everything the jury
may do. According to a decision by Judge
Brooks, a grand jury has not the power TO
employ detectives and Simon McNulty and
John Harmon, who were employed by
former grand jury to do special work at Min
nehaha and Minnetonka, may be unable to
collect for their services. Their bill was $50.
and the county commissioners refused to
allow the account. Judge McGee's 20 K"
to the bill was then secured and the county
commissioners thereupon passed it. Before
the warrant was issued, however, number
Of citizens took an appeal. Judge Brooks
oheard the case and sustained the objection
He holds that the grand jury is a state insti-
tuition The county is liable for some of the
expenses which may be incurred, but these
are expressly limited In the statutes and be-
yond the limits thus placed the state is liable.

FIGHT AN ASSESSMENT
Members of Minnesota Mutual Farm
Insurance Company.

Insurance, Company.
The members Of the Minnesota Mutual
Farm Insurance company will vigorously con-
test the attempt of Receiver F. B.. Wright to
enforce an assessment against them for the
payment Of the company's liabilities. =
They contend that the policies iasued by
their company were not issued in accordance
with chapter ITS, laws of 1895, relating to the
insurance laws of the state, and that this
law has no application in the present case.
1t is also contended~ that the officers of the
company collected money in excess Of actual
and reasonable expenses and that the money
is more than sufficient to pay all losses;
furthermore. that the receiver has not made
adequate efforts to compel the officers to
render an accounting and settlement.

Lauritxen Malt Company.
The new Lauritzen Malt company pro-
vided better than it knew in the pur-
chase of the building at Third street and
Nineteenth avenue NE for brewing
plant. One of the finest springs in the
city of pure soft water, has been d1scov-
cred in the basement, and preparations
have been made to confine the flow in an
open cistern. for use in bottling. The
water is very soft and beautifully clear
Some of. the old time residents in the
neighborhood remember that springs were
prevalent in northeast Minneapolis before
the encroachments of streets and city civ
ilization. The former occupant of the
building made some use of the inflow of
water, but not until the basement was
prepared for cementfng and an attempt
was, made to stop the water was it dis
covered that the basis for new spring
wat er industry had been found.
Samples have been taken away for an

Cat Fanciers Have Arranged to In

stitute Merger.
Minnesota is in the grip of the cat trust,
recently organized in Chicago. The vice pres
ident for this state is Mrs. E.. W.. Nettleton
of 772 Marshall avenue, ST. Paul.
The organizattons has beenspfcmoted by the
Chicago Cat club and was prompted by the
dangers Of production, reckless compe-
tition and indiscriminate buying. 1t Is now
proposed to enable cat fanciers, through
campaign of education, to distinguish between
the shaded silver and Chinchilla brands
and to avoid confusing the Persian with the
Angora cat. One aim of the association will
be to place its ban on the short-tailed Okla
homa cat, no longer recognized at cat shows.
The president of the trust Is Mrs. Porter
Evans Of Chicago. The thoroughbred cats
are to be listed with the advisory commit
tee Of the trust, which will dispose of them
at the highest possible prices, retaining 10
per cent of the income to meet the cost of
the centralized administration. :,
Mrs. Nettleton owns eighteen Of the best
bred cats and kittens in st. Paul.

lice Headquarters.
Detective Charles Bracket has not yet
showed up for duty, after an absence of
two weeks, but his friends of the admin
1stration will not concede that there is
any significance in the fact. They now
say he actually did have an official leave
of absence, given by the mayor himself,
good for ten days, and that his time does
not expire until tomorrow.
The department officials have no record
of any leave of absence for Bracket. But
now comes the mayor and declares that
he personally gave him permission to be
absent from duty for ten days. This
eleventh hour statement by the mayor is
generally regarded as an effort to help
Bracket out and remove, for the time be-
ing, any suspicion that might attach to
his absence while under fire of the grand
fury.
