PAWNBROKERs WORRIED
Fear Police May Interfere With
Trade in "Knuckles," Etc. -

Several pawnbrokers along Washington
avenue S are worried over the actions
of the Chicago police in arresting pawn
brokers for handling "knucklers, blllies,
gums" and other paraphernal1la OF the
gentlemen who work by night. . ......
Since the death Of Police Court Justice
"Biff', Hall, the pawnshop-keepers in Chi
cago have been hauled up to the Harrison
street police court in large numbers and
fined for selling the tools OF an Illegal
trade. The big sporting goods and de-
partment stores in Chicago have not been
interfered with, but the pawnshop- keepers
have and it is on this account that the
local men have been worried lest the &C
tivity of the Chicago police should be imi-
tated in Minneapolis. Simon Kreger OF
21S Washington avenue S, who has just
returned from Chicago, says: las near
as I could find out it was just shake
down engineered by judge who wanted
to make record. The big fellows weren't
touched; and it was just the pawnshor
men. I don't believe they would do any
thing Of that sort here, but you never car
tell" -
City Attorney Healy says that while the
Chicago authorities may have raked up ar
old ordinance as the basis for the arrests
made in Chicago, that there is nothing
among the Minneapolis ordinances agains
selling "knuckles,'' "billies," and stuff o.
that sort. There is an ordinance agains
carrying concealed weapons, but nothing
about selling weapons 49,

TOURIST BUSINESS DULL
Richard Weinacht, an Agent, Says
Tourists Are Hard to Find
49, This Year.

"There is whole lot of talk about this
prosperity, but the tourist business doesn't
show it, said Richard Wenacht of New
York, at the West hotel this morning.
Mr.. Weinacht Is tourist agent and has
in charge party of six New Workers,
who have been en- tour since June 80 and
are now on their way back to New York,
after having visited the Yellowstone park.
He says there has been a remarkable falling
off In tourist business in every direction.
II come out this way every year or SO,
said Mr.. Weinacht. Last year I had a
party of 1872 with me. This year have thirty
six. We have two European tours every
summer. Last year the. first party con-
sisted Of seventy eight; this year it was
twenty four, or some thing like that
There isn't very much tourist travel this
year and all the parties are small. We are
not the only sufferers. Other agencies arc
in the same boat.
why is it? don't know unless it is be-
cause of Industrial conditions down in New
York. Those strikes and tie-ups have gotten
the New Yorker of moderate means so nerv-
Gus that he doesn't dare leave town. He
doesn't know what may happen to his plant
or his store or whatever he is interested in
while he is gone. OF course the rich bugs
who don't care can go to Europe, or where
they wish We never see them anyhow
There is a marked tendency to favor this
route instead of the Omaha Billings route
to the coast
Mr.. Weinachts party stopped at Niagara
Falls, Detroit. Chicago and St. Paul on Their
way west This morning the tourists spent
| at the West hotel or shopping. This after.
noon chartered car took them to Mime
| haha Falls and Lake Harriet. They leave fol

M0RMONS AVERTED CLASH
Their Troops Narrowly Missed Get
ting Into Mix-up With
U. S. Regulars.

The interest which has been aroused in
things Mormon by the election of Reed
Smoot, a Mormon apostle, to the United
States senate, also by the resolutions
passed by the last general assembly Of the
Presbyterian church respecting polygamy,
recalls to L. G. Twombly an interesting
incident in the earlier days Of Mormonism
and polygamy related to him by Brigadier
General Henry A. Morrow, u. S. A., now
deceased. General Morrow was at the
time in command of the army of the Mis-
souri, with headquarters at Salt Lake
City.
Several days before July orders were
issued from headquarters directing the
entire command to assemble for parade
on the morning of the Fourth in the city.
Notice was also sent to the officers com
manding Mormon troops in Salt Lake
City not to appear upon the streets Of the
city under arms under penalty Of being
disarmed by the regulars.
To this notice no reply was made. II
was understood, however, that the notice
would be ignored and that the "irreg-
Of affairs at midnight Of the Sd, and the
promise Of a clash was good, or bad
| perhaps some would say. However, Gen
eral Morrow had made up his mind tt
make good his threat and so ordered the
regulars to provide themselves with forty
| rounds Of ball cartridges. It was also
ordered that if the Mormon troops were
found parading in defiance of the order
that they should not, they should be ar.
rested on the spot and disarmed. There
was much excitement, and a battle
seemed probable. But at the last mo
ment the Mormon officers thought dis
erection the better part of valor and thu
surest way Of getting to live to fight an
other day, and SO gave up the parade
| General Morrow's mental attitude
which was divulged later, shows that thu
Mormons were eminently wise In thei
course. The general told Mr.. Tomb,
afterward that he secretly hoped tn
Mormon commander would adhere to hi
purpose to march his men under arms
declaring that if he had done so Their
would have been an end Of Mormonisn

RAIN NEEDED IN NORTH
Climate and Crop Service Bulletin
Report for Past Week,

Rain Is needed in the northern half Of
the state, says the Minnesota Climate and
Crop Service bulletin of the weather bu-
reau. The following Is It's summary Of
conditions for the past week:
There were local showers on the 7th
and 9Th, and much more widely distrib-
uted showers and thunderstorms on the
9th; these rains were light in the northern
half Of the state, and heavy in parts of
the south and middle west. The rains of
the 9th were accompanied by high winds
In a region apparently extending from
the upper part Of the Minnesota valley to
the extreme southeast corner Of the
state; some damage done to wind
mills and light outbuildings, and much
grain was blown down. There was q Sc
we're rain, wind and hail storm In the ex-
IRENE southwest on the 7th, with some
damage. The 7th was a hot day, the
maximum temperatures in the state rang
ing from 80 degrees to 95 degrees In the
shade; the Sth and 9th were moderately
warm, and the rest Of the week was
cool.
In the northern half Of the state rain
Is much needed, the showers Of the pre-
vious week having been dried up by the
high winds of the 7th and Sth. The local
showers Of the week have benefited the
crops where they fell, but elsewhere there
Is very little growth going on. In many
fields the wheat, oats and barley are
thin, and they are heading with short
straw. Early fax Is in bloom. The late
sown millet is slow In starting, and as
the hay crop Is light a deficiency in win
ter feed Is feared.
In much Of the southern half Of the
state the low lands are wet or flooded
SO that wild hay canont be cut and thu
improvement of grains, corn and pota
toes Is slow. On the high lands the abun
dant moisture has caused a rank growth

WILLARD WASN'T DROWNED
Tho Circumstantial Evidence Was
Strong-A Bows Predicament.

All was excitement in the home Of lit
tie Willard Parton on the East Side flats
Sunday afternoon, because a younger
brother had reported the lad drowned.
Frantic with grief, the mother rushed to
the river bank. There a second shock
awaited her; but this time it was one Of
joy. -. .-..
"Say, ma, get me some clothes;, some
body's pinched mine," came up from the
waters edge in the familiar voice of Will
lard. ..-..
Turning the mother saw the boy whom
she had thought at the bottom of the
river, hiding behind some bushes and anx-
iously waiting the arrival Of some mem
Der of his family who could bring him ex-
ira clothing. ..g.
Willard and his brother had gone to the
river to swim, and while Willard I'M
dressed and entered the water near the
Tenth avenue bridge, the brother went
further down the stream. While the
brother was gone, a policeman strolled
along the bank, and Willard fearing ain ar
rest for bathing without suit, took refuge
in a nearby cave. The policeman passed
and the brother came back a minute later
Seeing Wizards clothing on the bank and
being unable to find the owner he supposed
that the lad had been drowned and took
the clothes home to prove his story.

A Dogs COSTLY APPETITE
Swallows a Purse Containing $50
in Cold Cash

A valuable bulldog, owned by Thomas
J. Hamlin editor of the Union, has in
creased his worth by swallowing purse
containing $50 in gold and bills. Mr..
Hamlin has had several odd experiences
with his dogs appetite. Not long ago a
small atonizer and rubber ball were
missed in the Hamlin household and could
not be found, until the dog showed by UNI
mistakable signs Of having swallowed
them.
Friday evening Mr.. Hamlin placed a
channels bag containing s52 in gold and
bills on table. Bag and contents were
missing in the morning. The dog began
to shaw signs of distress and suspicion
fastened upon him. An x-ray examina-
ton has shown that the money, bag and
all, is inside the dog, and an operation will
probably be performed.
