coast. This one camp, should it prove

for this section. as any district ii

This side Of Loope, at Alkali lake,
there is a great deal OF activity. The
POGO TEMPO people are developing
their mining properties and at the
same time they keep the mill running
The mill started up last week ano It
is expected that it will keep in nc

The character Cf ore is better than
the average that has been mined IT
this district in many years. 1t is lead

habitation with one of the colOred
denizens of Chinatown. A few dayc
before his arrival Constable Mccoy
received a printed circular from Unit
ed States Marshal Bates at Detroit.

made his escape on the 23d Of March
The Constable has had the man under
surveillance since his arrival, and las

rested man answers the description
given in the circular. He claims tna'
he is not the man. and gives his name
as Ross W. Mccormick. UDlted

sHRINKAGE NOT HARMFUL

Wallace Campbell Tells of Business
Sentiment In the East.
Wallace Campbell, president of the
Peoples bank and vice president of
the New England Furniture & Carpet
company who has just returned from
New Y ork and Boston,: says that
eastern banks, trust companies and
investors seem to have had no trouble
in adjusting affairs to the present
low level of securities. He adds.
I'm conservative circles the recent
severe shrinkage in Wall street COM
modities is regarded as advantageous.
The sshrinkage has harmed mostly the
rich, who could afford the loss, and
ter be turned toward legitimate and
productive channels.
TT is admitted and realized that
the west is holding its own remark
ably well and no longer sneezes when
Wall street takes snuff. The west is
recognized as the area Of new pro-
duetiye values and is esteemed ac-
cordingly.
In mercantile circles, both whole
salers and retailers of exclusively
luxurious articles have noticed some
reduction in volume Of trade, but
dealers in staples and ordinary artf-
cles Of consumption report a large
and undiminished business.
In eastern financial and commercial
"cles the position is frequently taken
that the business depression, some
times incidental to presidential year,
has been met and discounted and
passed. In this connection the pres
ent large credit balances Of this coun-
try abroad are a very strengthening
factor. The strong commercial and
financial position Of the west as a
whole is freely conceded and favor
ably mentioned

CITY CASES, NOV. 20.
Aldermanic Bribery Cases Set Ahead
Despite Protests Of the
Defendants.
The Case Against Henry F. Brown
Is Continued Over the
Term.

The case against Aldermen Claus
Mumm, Peter Nelson and former AL
derman John Sibley, charged with
agreeing to accept a bride for the va
cation of down town alley, was con-
tinued this morning to Nov. 20 on mo-
ton of the county attorney and against
the strenuous objections Of defend
ants counsel.
The reason assigned for the states
desire for delay is that there is at
present an entire lack Of evidence.
Those who testified in regard to this
case before the grand jury seemed to
have dealt only with former Alderman
@. P. Sutherland, who is now out of
the way and who seems in no imme-
7 date danger of being brought back.
The states case therefore rests en-
tirely upon unobtainable testimony.
From all the facts obtainable it ap-
pears that there is some force at work
KEEP this Indictment hanging over the
aldermen, and especially over Mr..
Mumm, whom certain local politicians
do not want to be too strong next
year in the third ward until the har-
vest can be reaped. 4. TO strengthen
this theory the fact is cited that the
efforts to secure the return Of pr.

Enection with a hose pipe contract, was

Ice Forms in the River and the

Ends.

Six degrees above zero-the lowest
temperature of the season--Was re-
corded by the Minneapolis weather
bureau this morning. But to-day is
not the chilliest 18th of November;
one 17th-that Of November 1891

the great northwest was too replete
with tonic. At Miles City, Mont, the
record this morning was IS below; at

Chicago, % degrees to 20 above.
Tonight will be colder, but the

Ice Locks Up Logs.
All the saw mills Of Minneapolis
closed down for the season to-day.
The sudden descent of winter covered
the river above the falls with ice last
night, and the logs in the pools were
locked IN. By noon the current had

all dismissed.
The shut down comes at about the
usual time, and is no hardship, as
most Of the companies were practi-
cally out of logs, and some had shut
down within the last day or two.
The stocks of lumber on hand now
are light as compared with past years.

WILL TAKE $4,000
That Much Needed to Secure Land
for Mr.. Lowry's Park
Plan.
Four Blocks Belonging to McNair
Estate to Be Had for
$4,000.

1t will probably cost about $4,000
to secure the land needed for the
park plan Of Thomas Lowry. The
largest individual holders are the heirs
OF the late w. w. McNair, who joint
ly own four blocks of the land neces-
sary. 1t is understood they have given
options to Mr.. Lowry for $50 900. This
is at the rate of $4,000 a block or from
1870 to about $3.50 a lot, Real estate
men think the prices reasonable.
Henry b. Balch, it is understood,
has offered to sell his six lots for
$4,000, or at the rate of $1,000 a lot
At that figure the ,McNair blocks
would bring from $4,000 to $4,000.
The only other large owner is J. b,
Bassett. who holds two blocks just
north of Spring lake. The estimate Of
$4,000 is based on price Of $4,000
for these blocks. The remainder of
the property is held in small parcels,
usually lot to a person, and there
are twenty or more altogether.
Just what the park board will do,
or can do. is not known, as the COM
missioners have not discussed the
matter. The park board will have
about $4,000 more income next year
than this, but where it could find
$4,000 is a question. It might begin
condemnation proceedings if it would
not stir up too much hostility.

They Quarreled Over Wagner, Say
Defendants Witnesses in
Weismiller Case.
Weismiller, Say Toles and Leonard,
Struck Wagner Wholly in
Self Defense.

1t was the defenses, inning this
morning insthe. trial of John f.. Weiss
miller, indicted with Herbert i. Toles
and Frank B.sLeonard for assault, with
intent to commit murder, upon Ed
ward Wagner. The story Of the party
at the Cushing residence from the de-
fendant's viewpoint, as outlined by
Robert kolliner in cuttingly sarcas-
tic opening to the jury, was detailed
by Messrs. Toles and Leonard.
The young mems testimony this
morning was clear and concise. The
chance meeting of Mrs. Cushing (Bes-
sie), Miss Nilsson (Gracie) and Mrs.
Cushings mother (mama) and the de-
PENDANT musicians was described. The
date and the party that followed
came next. The rough house de-
scribed by the witnesses for the state
was not denied by the defendants wit
nesses who merely assigned different
causes therefor and stated that the Wo-
men, more under the influence of
liquor than the men, started the
trouble and sustained it.
Oracle" was pictured as an image
of fearful grief on account of being
thrown down by Wagner, who was
according to Mr.. Toles, commenced
when Oracle became enraged at Bes-
sic, who was accused of usurping
Gracie's place in Wagner's affections,

In the course of the evening and then
having retired to his room on the Sec

and hats and starting for home.
Leonard left first and stepping out
on the porch was met by Wagner,
armed with dangerous club, who
asked abruptly for an apology. This
was refused and jumping from the
porch Weismiller was again confront
ed by the armed man. In self-de-
tense, according to the evidence, Weiss
miller pulled the whisky bottle from
his pocket and struck his assailant
ground.
The visitors then left. Later Leon
ard and Toles visited the police station
to get an officer to go and see if Wag-
ner was dangerously injured. After
telling their story they were placed I'M

A QUIZ FOR DRINKS
A New Idea introduced in Police
Court by Judge Dick
inson.
Out of 18. Prisoners, but One Said
That He Deserved Pun
ishment.

In the municipal court this morn
ing Judge Dickinson asked each Of the
eighteen men arraigned for drunken
ness what he thought would be proper
punishment. With one exception all
thought they should not be punished
at all. An old soldier who had been
celebrating his birthday had had such
a good time that he thought he de-
served to be punished.
n The court cross examined each
prisoner as to his life and his general
surroundings. For fourteen it was the
first offense. Six of these were mar
ried and had families to support. Nine
are permanent residents. All were
day laborers. who claimed not to be
hab;tual users of liquor. All pleaded
guilty and got $40 or ten days.
The QUIZ was the beginning Of a
systematic investigation on the part of
the court to reform some Of the pres
ent methods. Judge Dickinson thinks
the minimum fine is too large to suit
ali cases. Many men with families
make the mistake Of taking a drop
too much and once conviction is suf-
lfcient for a. lesson.

WHERE Is SOHLBERG?
Boy ID Years Old Disappears-M Missing
for Six Weeks,

lOi OLA W. chS. +
John Sohlberg, aged Ia, the son of
a farmer residing at Vineland, Mile
Lacs county, Mimi, has been missing
for six weeks. He called at the office
of the Associated Charities and asked
for employment on Oct. 10. He left,
promising to return the next morning,
hut nothing has been heard Of him
since.
The boy told Secretary j. E.. Jack
son Of the Associated Charities that
he had formerly lived at Cottonwood,
Mimi, and had gone to Vineland with
two brothers. He had spent the sum
mer picking berries and hunting and
had left Vineland because he was
afraid Of the Indians. He said that
his father and mother We're both dead.
Mr.. Jackson found upon inquiry
that the boy had run away from home.
His parents were nearly distracted by
his absence and feared that he had
been lost in the woods or drowned.
When they learned that he was In
Minneapolis they at once wrote to Mr..
Jackson to send the boy back home
But the boy did not return, nor has
he gone to Cottonwood.
The boy is dark complexioned and
rather small for his age. When last
seen he wore brown clothes that were
too large for him and was poorly
dressed. He had suffered from fever
and his parents fear that his mind is
unbalanced.
