STRIKE IS
LIKELY AT SALTWATER
pany Demand Extra Pay for Over
time-Prison City News.

Unless a decided change of senti-
ment takes place this morning, the st.
CroiX Boom company's works, at the
head of Lake st. Croix, will not be in
operation today owing to differences
existing between the boom company
and it's employees, who demand that
ten hours shall constitute a days la
Dor, and are not willing to work the
extra hour unless they receive extra
pay and extra work is needed. 1t has
been evident ever since the strike at
the mills on the st. CroiX, some weeks
ago, that trouble was brewing, and
at meeting of the union of river
and mill employees, held Monday night,
the situation at the boom was dis
cussed at considerable length. Some
advocated that the men go to the boom
at Z O'Clock yesterday morning, in
stead of at 6 o'clock, as heretofore
but it was finally decided that the men
work the same yesterday as before
and that committee wait upon Will
liam Sauntry, the president of the
boom company, yesterday.
The committee met Mr.. Sauntry,
who stated that the demands of the
men could not be granted, and that
rather than run the boom ten hours a
day the works would be shut down.
The committee discussed the situation
with him from all points of view, but
he refused to grant the demand, and
it is said that a strike will be inaugu-
rated this morning. The men have
arranged to go to the boom at Z
say that men who do not get there
at o'clock can look for employment
elsewhere.
The situation is by no means en-
couraging. While many of the mill
men have all the logs they need at
present, others have logs in Nevers
dam they are anxious to get, and do
not want to see the boom shut down.
1t is said that there are more than $50
them refuse to work it will be impos-
sible to run the boom today.
The GaZelle, of the Staples Towing
company's line, arrived last evening
from Prescott with tow of logs for
the Atwood mill, and will leave today
with a raft of logs for Charles
Boettcher, Red Wing.
Frank w. Temple, of Blue Earth
City, spent yesterday at the prison
with Warden Wolfer.
The death of Miss HiIma Nelson, a
young woman well known in this city,
occurred Monday night at New Scan
dia. She was twenty three years old
and was formerly in the employ of
Mrs. A. c. Hospes. Her death was
due to consumption.
Members of Muller circle, G. A. R.,
entertained visiting members of the
order from st. Paul and Minneapolis
on Monday.
The city hospital board will hold a
meeting this afternoon at the home of
Mrs. w. c. Masterman.
The report that an inquest would
be held yesterday to determine re-
sponsibility for the death of Mrs. J.
c. Caulcutt of st. Paul, who was kill
ed by train on the Omaha road, near
Lake Elmo, Saturday night was de-
MED by Coroner Freigh, who stated
that relatives of the deceased were
thoroughly satisfied that she had been
wandering on the tracks while de-
mented, and suggested that no inquest
be held.

After a desperate quarrel with her

formed here directly in the middle of

1MAYOR'S RESIGNATION
, NOT YET PRESENTED
There Is Considerable Speculation as
to Who Will Be the Next Superin

Acting Mayor Fred NJ. Powers will

yesterday that there would be no more
removals in the police force by him,
but when Mr.. Jones returned he did
not know what would happen.
He simply removed th0Se whom he
thought had been too perniciouSly ac-
tive during the AmeS administration,
and the removals, in his opinion, were

lice department.
There was q rumor current Monday

it was without foundation Those

terday morning and he informed them
that they need not worry until the re-
turn of Mr.. Jones.
Specializing on Superintendent.
There is considerable speculation as
TO who is to be the new superintendent
or police. Some seem to favor Capt.
Henry Getchell, present acting super
lntendent, while there are others who
are strongly of the opinion that the
position will be offered to James Doyle,
who made such a good record under
former Mayor Gray, and still there is
Smith may again be seated in the
chair of authority.
1t is not likely that Mr.. Doyle will
be selected, as he is a Democrat. and
is at present in the employ of a good
concern, and he would hardly give up
ms present position to take the office
or chief temporarily.
No one seems to be in position to
know just what Mr. Jones' ideas are
relative to appointing a superintendent
OF police, as that proposition was not
considered prior to his trip East. It is
known, however, that before he left he
was not fully satisfied with the make
up of the Minneapolis police force,
and the chances are that there will be
numerous removals when he returns;
just who the unfortunate ones will be
