BOUND TO HAVE JAIL'S
STEEL BARS RETESTED
Commissioners Powers Circulates Petit
tions Calling for Another Trial.

County Commissioner Powers. re-
CARELESS of the fact that he was turned
down by others members of the board
in his attempt to have another test
made of the steel in the new county
jail, is not yet ready to admit that he
is defeated.
1t was stated yesterday that Mr..
Powers was circulating petitions ask
ing the commissioners to authorize an
other test When a sufficient number
of names have been secured the petit
lions Will be presented to the county
board, and in this manner the Mounds
View member believes he can compel
them to aceede to his demands The
petitions, 1t is said. have been distrib-
uted among, Commissioner Powers
friends, who are already busy securing
signatures.
Commissioner Powers characterized
the test of the steel made by Expert
George G. Garrow as a farce and an
outrage upon the taxpayers. He voted
against accepting the report, and at
tempted to have. the board authorize
another test. The board turned him
down in such a manner that he has
now decided to try and compel the
members to recognize his demands.

NO $50 BOUNTY
FOR OFFICER GROSS
Nine Year-oId Boy Can Hardly Be
Ciassed as Horse Thief.

"A sound spanking for the boy and
the return to the owner of the property
would come nearer meeting the situa-
ton with justice and mercy to all con-
cerned, is the language used by Judge
Kelly in denying the application of Po-
lice OH1cer Louis F. Gross to be paid a
bounty of $50 for the apprehension of
horse thief. The horse thief captured by
Gross was nine-year-old Vincent
Mitchell, who was sent TO the training
school, after pleading guilty to petit
larceny. Gross arrested the boy just
as he drove across the Wabasha street
bridge with horse and wagon belong
ing to a peddler Judge Kelly holds
that even had the prisoner been man.
had he been permitted to plead to petit
larceny, the reward could not have
been claimed.
Judging by the age and size of the
horse thief in controversy says Judge
Kelly, in commenting on the claim,
they come high if Ramsey county had
to meet many demands of this charac-
ter. In my opinion the law does not
authorize the payment of a bounty eX-
cept upon the Indictment and convic-
ton of a genuine horse thief had in the
district court. On the face of it, it is
absurd to assess the taxpayers with
$50 bounty money for the arrest of a
child engaged in what might have been
a mere boyish prank with somebody's
wagon"

POOR OLD EQUINE
INHUMANLY ABANDONED
Humane Officer Called in to Put Animal
Out of Misery.

John Moak, an officer of the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to AMI
mails, was called out to Hamline yes
terday to shoot horse which had been
left in the vicinity of Minnehaha street
and Lexington avenue during the pre-
vious night by unknown parties. The
horse was suffering from a very bad
case Of CHAMBERS and farcy, a contagious
disease which is fatal.
The case is not an uncommon one"
said Mr.. Moak. when persons, espe-
cially these who keep a number of
horses in one stable, discover that one
of their animals is affected with either
CHAMBERS or. farcy, they nearly always
try to dispose of the animal without
letting anyone know of 1t. Were the
horse to be found in stable, all of
the other animals would be quarantined
and for this reason many horses are
turned out in the night to die"
The horse killed yesterday was an
unusually large animal, and it is be-
lieved to have been owned by some of
the large firms in the city who use
horses for heavy hauling.

BARTOL MUST SELL
LAND FOR MARKET SITE
District Court Confirms Award Of
Commissioners.

In the matter of the proposed con-
demnation by the city of lands for the
Jackson street market site, in which
Henry w. Bartol appealed from the
award of the commissioners, Judge
Kelly yesterday handed down an opin-
ion confirming the report Of the COM
missioners, and the land will soon pass
into the hands of the city, as the re-
port Is said to now be satisfactory to
both sides.
The property is on Jackson street,
and the city already owns the property
on each side of it. It Is now occupied
by the Cook barn, but as soon as the
city secures possession of it, it will be
converted into a market site, additional
room for the market being badly
needed.
The money with which to pay for the
property was appropriated year ago.
The commissioners are allowed $50
each for their services, but the appel
lant's claim for expenses resulting from
the appeal is disallowed

CHOOSE SITES FOR
NEW BUILDINGS
Committee of State Fair
Board Anticipates Legi-
slative Action.

A large amount of detail and routine
business was disposed of in a short
time at a meeting of the executive
committee of the board of managers of
the state fair yesterday afternoon. Be
sides the committee several of the Off
GERS and other members of the board
were present and number of matters
of interest were discussed.
The prospects of securing the new
buildings asked of the state legislature
were talked over and locations for the
proposed structures tentatively dis
cussed. Most of the members present
at the meeting walked over the
grounds, and while out the party def
nitely decided upon positions Of the
new agricultural implement and ma
chinery building. The party having
the contract for the artificial footwalks
which are to be put down this season
Is already at work on the grounds.
other improvements are going forward
as rapidly as the weather will permit.
One small improvement which makes
great showing, however, Is a new
veranda about the secretary's office
building. An old annex has been re-
moved and fine wide porch built.
Later the whole building will be paint
ed and the place will then be scarcely
recognizable. Secretary Randall has
gradually had the grounds in the vi
cinity of the office building cleaned up
and the old unsightly structures which
formerly defaced that part of the place
removed. The appearance of that part
of the fair grounds is now decidedly at
tractive.
President c. N. Cosgrove, Vice Pres
idents B. e. Nelson and Chester r.
Smith. Col. w. NJ. Liggett, DR.. J. c.
Curryer and Secretary E. w. Randall
were present at the meeting.
