SWIFT & co. APPEAL
FROM LOWER COURT
AIIege Error in Judgment Against the
Firm for $500.

Judges Sanborn, Van .Devanter and
Hook, of the United States circuit
court of appeals, heard yesterday argu-
ments in the case Of Swift e co.
against Matilda Johnson, as admins
tratrix, etc.
Mrs. Johnson sued Swift & Co. some
time ago to recover damages for "the
alleged wrongful act of the defendants
in causing the death Of the PLAINTIFFS
interstate. a healthy boy Of good habits
about seventeen years old" That is,
Mrs. Johnson, as administrators of the
estate of young Johnson, was the
plaintiff. Johnson was killed at South
st. Paul in March, 1902, while acting as
yard clerk for the Swift Packing com
pany.
On the first trial the United States
circuit court of this district awarded
the PLAINTIFF $4,000. Appeal was taken
by the defendants on the ground that
many technical errors had been COM
mitted in the lower court. The attor-
neys who submitted the case yesterday
for Swift & Co., the plaintiffs in error
were Messrs. Kellogg, Severance and
Olds.
The other case argued and submit
ted yesterday before the court of ap-
peals was that of Julia Nivens against
Bette Aivens, an action relative to the
partition of an estate in the Indian
territory.

so great was the enthusiasm mani

known.
The excellent stereopticon exhibition,

Grand Jury Calendar Lightest
In Fifteen Years.

The grand jury, which will meet to-
day, Will have less business to do, &C
cOrding to the calendar in the hands OF
County Attorney Kane, than any sinr-
liar body has had in the past fifteen
years.
Only five Jail cases are on the tab to
be investigated, and less than a day
ana a half will be consumed in the
hearings if no other matters are
brought up.
L cannot remember when the grand
jury calendar has been so light as it is
this MONTH" said County Attorney
Kane yesterday. "The cases that are
to be passed upon are comparatively
unimportant'
John ST. Aubin, held for grand lar
ceny, is charged with grabbing a
purse.
Joseph Porten, charged with grand
larceny, is accused of passing a forged
check on a Seventh street department
store.
Richard Brown, charged with forg-
cry, is accused Of being an accomplice
of Porten.
Gustave Gustavson charged with at
tempted burglary, was arrested last
month for having, according to the po-
lice, made an effort to break into a
barber shop at $50 Payne avenue.
Charles Eisenmenger, arrested on a
warrant sworn out by Executive Agent
S. F. Fullerton, of the game and fish
commission, is charged with selling
perch out of season.

BECKER WOULD BE SEAT
OF SHERBURNE COUNTY
Many FreehoIders Sign Petition for
Removal of Seat From Elk River. y.

County Attorney Frank T. White, Of
Elk River, was at the state capitol yes
terday and reports that a petition
signed by so per cent of the freeholders
of Sherburne county was yesterday
filed with the county auditor asking
for a special election to vote on the
proposition to remove the county seat
to Becker.
The petition contained the names Of
652 taxpayers of the county. and it is
probable that the county commissioners
will call a special election to vote on
the project of the removal Of the coun-
ty seat unless a remonstrance should
be filed showing the loss of a large
number of the signers on the original
petition. The county seat has been at
Elk River for many years, but Becker
will make a strong bid for the honor.
Becker business men have subscribed
some $4,000 and agree to build as good
a court house as that at Elk River
and present it to the county free Of
cost 1t requires an affirmative vote
of So per cent of the voters of the
county to secure the removal Of the
court house, and a failure to make good
prevents a recurrence Of the county
seat fight for five years to come.
The county seat war bids fair to dis
place in interest all other political con-
tests in Sherburne county in this cam
paign.

has been done so far in the Red river
valley, but wheat seeding has been going
on the latter part of the week on higher
lands east of the valley as far north as
Northern KittSon county.
In the central and southern parts Of
the state wheat and oat seeding is rap
idly nearing completion, and some barley
has been seeded in southern and south
eastern counties. Early sown wheat and
oats are beginning to come up nicely.
Flowing for corn flax and barley is
going on in the south, and gardening is
general. Potato planting is begun in a
number of southern counties Grass is
beginning to show green a little, but
there is not yet sufficient for feed.

WIFE'S ARTERIES CUT:
HUSBAND POISONED
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Johnson Are
Victims of Serious Accidents but
Survive.

Charles Johnson, chef Of the Ryan
hotel, was poisoned Sunday morning
by weeds mistaken FOR dandelions,
which he gathered in his yard at his
home, ATS Smith avenue, and his wife,
as result of an accident while wash
ing Monday morning, cut her left arm
so badly that she nearly bled to
death.
Johnson, who had eaten Of the sup
posed dandelions, was saved from Sc
rious illness by the timely administra-
ton of an antidote, and had SO far re-
covered Monday morning that he. was
able to go to work. A few hours after
he reached the hotel where he is en-
ployed he was notified that his wife
was seriously injured.
Mrs. Johnson cut her arm on glass
dashboard, which broke with the pres
sure she put upon it, and-the arteries
of her wrist were slashed. So much
blood did she lose that her death was
expected. Five physicians were sum-
moned, but over an hour elapsed be-
fore the flow of blood was quenched.
She had recovered sufficiently last
night to be about the house.

LAID LOW BY HEAT
First Prostitution of the Season
Recorded Yesterday.

The first prostration of the season
was recorded yesterday, when James
Truax, a United States government
engineer, was overcome by the heat in
a ferryboat While crossing the river
near Harriet island.
Truax has been engaged for several
days in making soundings of the river
between the mainland and the island.
Yesterday afternoon while engaged in
his official capacity with helper in a
flat-bottomed boat, he reeIed. and fell.
The helper caught him just in time to
save him from falling overheard, laid
him in the bottom of the boat and
rowed to the shore at the island. He
was carried ashore and the police am
bulance was called to the island.
Police Surgeon Moore attended the
man, who had been unconscious al
most half an hour. He was soon re-
vived and was sent to his home, "a
Robert street. The hot sun is said to
have been the cause of Truax's sudden
illness.

LARGE CUT OF Pine
Nearly 10000. 900 Feet Taken
Off in Duluth District.

Approximately 10000, 900 feet Of pine
have been cut during the past logging
season from state lands in the Duluth
district, and Simon Clark, surveyor
general of logs and lumber for the Du-
luth district, yesterday made return to
the state auditors Office of 22,000,000
feet scaled by his deputies. The fees
for this cut amounted to $1,000 and a
warrant covering the amount was
but it is eventually paid by the logging
contractors. The Duluth district in
c1udes all of st. Louis county, a part
of Itasca county where the waters run
north to the Canadian boundary, and
Lake and Cook counties, on the north
shore of Lake Superior
The cut from state lands was largely
made from state school lands and was
the largest in the history of logging
operations in the Duluth district. Most
of the logs cut were from lands includ-
ed in the last two sales held by the
state auditor
A firm near Tower will begin the
cutting of 100000 feet recently pur-
chased from the state and the opera
lions in state logs will continue for
some years. Clark has employed
large force Of Deputies at the various
camps and has as high as sixty-two
scalers on his pay roll
The Duluth districts fees largely eX-
coed those of the Minneapolis districts
so far as state lands are concerned, for
the total fees of the Minneapolis dis
trict on state lands amounted for the
season to only trifle more than $1,000.

PAINTERS APPEAL FROM
JUDGE KELLY'S ORDER
Still Seek Injunction Preventing Dec
grafton of Capitol by New York Man.

The end of the effort instituted by
st. Paul painters union to prevent the
decorating Of the interior of the new
state capitol by a New York artist is
not yet.
Judge Kelly some weeks ago de-
MED the application for an injunction
restraining the board of capitol COM
missioners from executing a contract
with Elmer E. Guernsey, of New York.
and this was thought to have ended
the effort instituted by the st. Paul
Painters and Decorators union.
Judge Thomas Canty, of Minneapolis,
has, however, filed with the clerk of
the district court a motion and bond
on appeal to the state supreme court,
and the case will go on the calendar
for the October term of the supreme
court. There will, however, in the in
term, be no cessation of the work by
the New York man on the interior Of
the new capitol.
