III the road. 1t is supposed that the
man fell from the cart and caught his
foot in the framework. Cluikshank
was 65 years old and was formerly a
stock farmer. He has lived in Hen
nepin county for many years.
1t is announced that the Minneapolis
House of the Good Shepherd, at Twen-
ty-seventh street and Bloomington ave-
nue., will he merged with ,he st. Paul
branch of the same society, which is
located in the midway district. The
Minneapolis society has been estab-
lished for about fifteen years. This
does not mean that the Minneapolis
field will be abandoned, but the I'M
fortunates to be assisted will be taken
directly to the Midway house, which
is equally accessible to both cities.
James L. Duffey, who has conducted
a hay and wood market at Washington
and Tenth avenues S., had some trou-
BILE in continuing in business, but was
helped out by the special committee of
the council which met 4nursday to
consider his application for renewal OF
his franchise. 1t appears that another
business rival, w. D. Lyons, had an
eye to the place. and as the lease and
franchise both expired he Stepped in
and obtained the lease from the own
ers. The committee was of the opin-
ion that Dutfey had been ill treated
and scored the rival and owners Of
the land i'll plain language.
n meeting of the employees of the
Northwestern Star Oil company was
held Thursday at the West hotel for
the purpose of taking up plans for the
the reorganization of the company.
Two propositions have been submit
ted to the men, one by Coan and Brill,
the former representing local interests
and the latter eastern people, offer
ing to organize a company capitalized
at 100000, of which $1,000 is to be
given directly TO the employees and $1O,-
600 set aside for their purchase. The
second proposition is for the reorgani-
cation solely by the employees them
selves.

That the leading business men of
Minneapolis are taking ;ln interest in
the coming June fair and carnival is
shown by the rapid sale of space to
exhibitors in Industrial street and the
avidity with Which people in general
are talking the fair The CONNER
cial club and the Retail Dealers as
ISOLATION have allied themselves with
the movement, and each organization is
to be assigned one of the days Of the
fair for which it will furnish some
special attraction. Tomorrow night
at the Commercial club the executive
committee of the carnival and fair
and members of the committees from
the Commercial club and the Retail
Dealers association meet ut a dinner
to discuss plans with a view to elabor-
ating the scope of the fair.
One Of the peculiar results of the
late explosion on the East Side is the
will of William II. Davis, which has
come into the probate court.
Mr.. Davis was Il bachelor, and last
August made his will, in which his sis
ter, Mary ]. Davis, practically was
made his sole heir. The part that
turns out to be strange is that Charles
H. Durri1l and Stanislaus Mitchell
We're made executors of the will and,
together with l.. B. Handbook, were to
receive legacy of $4,000 each.
These mem We're killed, and even If
they were alive, they could not operate
the business, as they were empowered
to do, because the testator, executors
and benefciaries all passed out of ex-
istence with the explosion.
The value of the PERSONA property is
placed at 100000 and the real proper
ty at $4,000. 1t is supposed that
there is also property in other cities,
but it is difficult to locate, owing to the
obliteration of papers and records.
