KARKEEK MEETS n GOOD ONE

KARkEEK MEETS n GOOD ONE.
Jack>Karkeek, the American wres-
tier, well known in this city, who is
giving exhibitions in England, met
a tartar few days ago in the per-
son of George Ringgerford, of
Birmingham. Karkeek offers $50
for any one whom he fails to throw
inside of fifteen minutes and an ad-
ditional $5 for every minute his RI
val lasts up to twenty five minutes.
Ringgerford at first was timid, but
during the latter half of the strug-
gle he warmed up and proved to be
very formidable. Try as he would,
Karfeek could not dislodge him
and when the fifteen minutes had
expired Ringgerford was still up
andsdoing. He agreed to wrestIe
the remaining five minutes and
stayed out the full time. AS a re-
suit the experience cost Karkeek
just$75.

BONUS AND 20 CENT ROYAL TIES.
The cleveland-Cliffs Iron com
pany, one of the larger of the indie
/ pendent iron mining and manufac-
turing concerns, has made a deal
for iron ore leases on the western
Mesaba, near the Ha rkins mine, in
volving the payment:of bonuses to
the amount of about $5OOOOO. ,
The transaction involves two
deals, one for a lease of. the Crosby
mine, carrying a bonus Of $4,000,
and the second for another proper.
ty in the same neighborhood in
volving bonus of upward of $780,
600. The sizes of bonuses depends
on the amount of ore found.
The lease to the Crosby has been
transferred, but the lease to the Sec
ond deal has not been conveyed,
though the transaction has been
definitely made.
The description of the Crosby
mine is the northwest of the north
west of 80 and the northeast of the
northeast of 81 and the west half of
the northeast of 81, 81 %.
This property joins the Hawkins
mine on the north. The description
of the other property referred to is

TO COMMENCE WORK AT ONCE.
Under the direction of Daniel
Davies, formerly with J. J: Hill in
the Great Northern's office in St.
Paul, but latterly with the Virginia
Iron, Coal and Coke company of
Bristol, Va, explorations have been
commenced on the noted section 80.
The new manager says the recently
formed Section 80 company has un-
limited capital, but who is behind
it he refuses to state.
Mr.. Davies has made one trip to
the property since he came here
last Thursday, and will leave to-
morrow to go over it again. Con-
tracts have been made with Cole &
Mcdonald, providing that they be-
gin operations by Jan. 20, and ma
chimes are being placed on the
ground now: Test-pitting has been
going on since Jan. 1. .
The company known as the Sec
ton Thirty company was organized
Dec. 10. Daniel Davies is the tr.as-
urer and Dwight E. Woodbridge is
the secretary The names of the
officers are not. made public. The
company holds options on the prop.

within that time will make all tex-

This will be the third attempt at
explorations on the noted property
since the litigation regarding it's
ownership began, in 1883. The re-

,The$work was being done by the
Sharon Iron company and the re.
cent turning over of their proper:

said to be responsible for the clos

this point.
The orders to stop drilling came
as surprise to everyone connected
with the work, as it was understood
when the Sharon people took hold
last summer that thev in+ondod ox-
plorihg the property thoroughly.
The shutdown, however, may be
only temporary and it is thought
that should the Sharon company or
their successors refuse to explore
the land further no trouble will be
experienced by the owners in get
ting another concern to take up the
work, as indications point strongly
to large body of ore being found
at no great depth.

ENJ0lN VILLAGE OFFICERS.
Unique Business Proceedings in a
Stearns County Town.
From Fridays Daily.

The village officers of Brooten, Stearns
county, have been served with tenn
porary injunction restraining them from
the selling of flour and feed. The COM
plainant is Ludwig L. Nerlien, who oper-
ates line of flour mills on the 500 road.
In 1894 or 1895, the village donated a
site and about $1,000 toward the estab-
fishing of -four mill near the station.
l.. L. Nerlien, operating competing mill
at Belgrade, four miles distant, pur-
chased the Brooten mill in the winter of
1898 and closed its doors. This incens-
ed the citizens and village council.
The village went into the flour trade
and has been selling flour at a few
cents above cost ever since. This makes
five years that it has been carrying on a
relentless warfare against Nerlien.
Nerlien in his petition asserts that the
village and its officers are engaged in the
sale of flour and feed at and below the
cost of its manufacture; that it is using
the village hall as storage house, and
that it is using the village funds for the
purpose of carrying on the business, con-
trary to law; that as taxpayer he OBJ
jects to the use of the public money in
private business. 1t is alleged that the
village has sold an average of two car
loads of flour and feed month, and that
in the year just passed there has been
sold not less than 100000 pounds of
flour.

NET WITH SUCCESS.
Chicago Detective Finds What He
Wants in Mankatc.
From Fridays Daily.

f. j. Walton, 10 South Clark street,
a detective in the employ of the police
department of that city, left Mankato for
his home yesterday afternoon. He arriv
ed in the city Monday evening to work
on a case that he had been detailed to
look up. The case was that of a travel
ing man whose home is in Chicago and
who represents a shoe house of that city
and makes regular trips in this terri
tory.
The detective gave it out that the man
is accused of having embezzled $4,000
from the house which he travels for, but
that it is expected that he will settle,
as he is said to have means and his
wife's family are wealthy.
1t appears from what the detective
gave out while in the city that his
mission is to establish the fact that the
the travelling man was accompanied on
one of his trips by a woman not his
wife. At only two places did they regis
ter as man and wife, at the Saulpaugh
in this city and at hotel at Hudson,
Wis. As this trip was made in Deem
Der, 1900, the hotel register bearing the
signature cannot be found at Hudson,
and the only one found was that of the
Saulpaugh. The register was found
stored in w. R. Hammett's warehouse,
and the page containing the names was
photographed. The travelling man and
the woman registered on the night
of Dec. 18th, 1900, being assigned to
room "a.
Mr.. Walton spent several days in st.
Paul and at Hudson working on the case.
The reason that the shoe house desires
to prove that the travelling man was ac-
companied by woman not his wife is
said to be to use this information as a
club over the accused man and endeavor
to force a settlement from him, believing
that he would produce the money or that
his wife's relatives would do so, rather
than that his home should be wrecked by
his wife learning of "the woman in the
case" As a settlement is expected no
names are given. The women is said to
have admitted that they registered as
man and wife at Mankato and Hudson.
She is where the officers can place their
hands upon her.

A hitch occurred over the section re-
lating to the duties of chief of police.
The report of the committee made him
independent of the mayor by declaring
that he should execute and enforce the
laws. ordinances and resolutions of said
city," etc. Some of the members
thought that he should execute the laws
under the direction or supervision of the
MAYOR, who should be the responsible
head of the police department. On mo-
ton of Dr. Andrews, the matter was re-
ferred back to the committee for future
consideration.
Eighteen sections of chapter three were
adopted.
The committee recommended the
adoption of a section providing for an ex-
pert examination of the books of the city
at least once each year, or oftener If the
mayor thinks it necessary. Members OF
the commission feared that this might
prove expensive, especially if the expert
charged $40 day and stretched his job.
This section was adopted after being
amended so as to provide for the eNami-
nation in the January preceding the ex-
piration of the terms of office of the city
officers, which is once in two years.
Judge Severance said that he would
prepare section to provide for recover
les in case of forfeiture under the bonds
of city officers.
The pay of aldermen was touched up
on, but not decided. Judge Severance
said that the aldermen should be paid
reasonable salary, and not have the sal

sible need for them. 1t is easy for alder
men to have a meeting when they want

The committee was instructed to pre-
pare as much more of the charter as
can be considered in one evening, and
then call meeting of the commission.
