JUDGES HUNT VERMIN
They Fail to Find Interlopers in Jury
DOrnlitOries.

Y One by one the august members Of
the Hennepin county district bench
were guided this morning thru the
jury rooms of the county courthouse
on a silent hunt for vermin. Each
went armed for combat and during
the progress Of the hunt put forth
every energy to discover some traces
Of the enemy alleged to be massed in
the beds where jurors slept. 81
Despite their strenuous work they
all returned empty-handed, but with
disguised looks on their faces.
why, there are no jurors in the
United States who have better and
cleaner quarters than those Of Henne-
pin county,, said Judge G. B. Elliott
upon his return to his courtroom.
Everything is kept neat and clean and
the sheets and linen are all changed
after each juror. A person who can
live in a frst-class hotel can live in
our juryroom.'
This opinion was echoed by other
inspectors and somewhat soothed the
greatly ruff1ed feelings of Custodian
e. P. Sweet and the janitors who take
pride in keeping their jury rooms in
first-class shape.

Smooth Young Man Tries 'sDistant

Smooth Young Man Tries distant
Relative Racket on Business Men.
A well-dressed and eloquent impos-
ter is making a tour of the office
buildings Of the city and attempting
to work the distant relative racket"
upon those who are so unsophisti-
Gated as to desire to help a relative in
distress.
Yesterday afternoon the young man
visited the office of A. B. Barton, in
the New York Life building, and
stated that his name was Barton and
that he was a far-off cousin Of the
man he was seeking to touch He
had come from Los Angeles and had a
position in Minneapolis, but could not
go to work for a week or so. He
wound up by asking Mr.. Barton to adj
vance him SIS. Mr.. Barton, however,
does not belong to the e. q. Mark
family.
Later in the day the same young
man showed up at the office Of e. S.
Corser, in the same building. He had
assumed the name of Corser, but with
this exception told the same story he
had related to Barton. Corser thought
he would not give his relative money
but would find lodgings for HMM
the city stouthouse. He asked the
young man to call again to-day, but
the false Barton-Corser did not show
up for the promised loan. It is not
known how successful he has been
elsewhere. He is of medium height
and size, well dressed, and plausible
talker.

HIT RIVER UNDERGROUND
MANHOLE DIGGERs ENCOUNTER
RUSH OF WATER So FEET BE-
LOW PAVEMENT ON FOURTH

Andrew Dahlquist, the city sewer ex-
pert, is not at all discounted by the
young river which the manhole diggers
have struck fifty-eight feet below the sur
face on Fourth street near First avenue S.
Dahlquist has spent twenty-six years dig
ging in and under the ground and is an
expert on subterranean surgery. The wa
ter sprites have thus far been outwitted,
as Dahlquist was forehanded enough to
have four six-inch holes bored thru the
rock to the tunnel and the water is run
ming out that way instead of rising TWEEN
ty-six feet in the manl1oe as would other
wise have happened
The sewer men have been blasting rock
at the bottom of the hole for a week.
They must still dig twenty feet thru the
blue stone and then ten feet thru sand
stone before the tunnel is reached. To
dam the water which is rushing in, Dahl
quist will sink a huge steel smokestack,
extending above the possible water level
Behind this he will fill in concrete, which
will. hold the water and enable the brick
layers to line the manhole to the surface.

THE 1904 LUMBER CUT
1T IS LIKELY TO APPROACH 1908
CUT-STILLWATER FIRM WILL
HAVE LOGS SAWED HERE.

A deal consummated this week by which
R. w. Turnbull & Son of Saltwater will
have their 80, 000 900 feet Of logs cut by
the Plymouth mill will keep the Minneapo-
lis lumber cut this year close to that of
last year, says the Mississippi Valley
Lumberman. Formerly these logs have
been sent over the falls, RATED at ST.
Paul and towed to Saltwater. The Turn
bull mill at Saltwater will not run this
year. The stock sawed here will be sold
from an office to be opened by the firm
here. If the experiment proves satisfac-
tory Turnbull & Co. will continue a regu-
lar jobbng business here. The Plymouth
mill will also cut for the H. B. Waite
Lumber company about 100000 feet
The saving season is about two weeks
late. but the prospects of a steady run
for the rest of the season are good. Work
will begin early next week.
With the exception of the G. A. Smith
mill there seems little likelihood of any
material curtailment Of output. It has
not yet been decided whether this mill
will operate nights. The Carpenter-Lam
mill will run day and night and will cut
as much as last year. The Itasca com
pany will also cut day and night and as
the capacity of the mill is 100, 200, 900 il
will probably equal or exceed the Co.
900 cut last year The Diamond mil
will saw a day and quarter instead of op-
Grating part of the time nights as last
year.
The Bovey-De Laittre company, sawins
only days as is its custom, will cut be.
tween 80 100000 and 100000 B. F. Mel.
son & Son will operate only one of theil
mills days and Shevlin & Carpenter viii
run only days.
The Plymouth mill has contracts which
will assure it cut fully as large as {
year ago. Last years total cut was 432,
600, 900.

DON'T AGREE ON SIRAYS
DOWN RIVER LUMBERMEN WANT
LOGS RESCALED AT LOCAL
REACHED,

The method of sorting logs for the local
sawmills sends many logs astray. The
mill owners here have an exchange sys-
tenn by which they offset each others
claims, which are usually found to APP
proach balance at the end of the season.
The lower river lumbermen have no way
of exchanging logs and do not consider
the prices paid by Minneapolis lu1nbermen
for the stray logs which get into their
ponds by mistake a fair compensation.
Dissa tisfied with the present method the
lower river log owners have organized for
compel the local lumbermen to turn out
from their ponds all logs belonging to the
complaints. reports the Mississippi VAL
ley Lumberman. This many of the local
lumbermen claim is impracticable The
stray logs are scaled now at the upper gap
and a strict account is kept Of the desti-
nation Of all logs. TO turn out the stray
logs would require scaling again at the
mills. The plan Of scaling at the mills
instead of the upper gap is favored by
many, both local and lower river owners,
but this the surveyor general insists is
impracticable, owing to the swift current
and the rapidity with which the logs are
sent to the mills IA
The surveyor general is willing to re-
scale at the mills to the best of his abil-
ity if he is paid for it. Without this scale
the lumbermen positively refuse to turn
out any logs in their ponds. They have,
however, offered to pay any reasonable
price for the stray logs and it seems likely
that some satisfactory basis of settlement
will be reached. -.

w Arm CONTEST
DUE OYER BRIDGE
SHALL ONE OF THE BIDDERS
PREPARE SPECIFICATIONS?
Question the City Council Will Be
Called Upon to Decide at Next Meet
eight of Local Company for
Contract at an Additional Cost Of
$4,000.

Lusty fighting is imminent in the
city council over the attempt of the
special bridge committee to turn over
to one of the bidders the matter Of
preparing the plant and specifications
for the Thirty-second avenue n
bridge. After the junket and din
ner provided by the Minneapolis Steel
and Machinery company to fifteen al
dermen yesterday, the special COM
m1ttee listened to a technical discus
sion on steel bridge construction and
decided to readvertise for bids.
The plans of the Modern Steel
Structural company Of Waukesha,
Wis., which presented the lowest bid
by $4,000, We're attacked as not COM
plying with the specifications. City
Engineer Andrew Rinker declared
that the bid was, for all practical pur-
poses, within his specifications. These
provided simply for a load of eighty
and 100 pounds square foot on the
sidewalks. There was sufficient
metal in the plans of the Modern COM
pany to do this, and while other plans
called for more steel, the bridge pro-
posed by the lowest bidder was amply
strong enough for any test to which
it could be subjected.
Alderman Peter Mccoy, however
moved that all bids be rejected and
that new ones be advertised for I'M
der the specifications of the Mime
apolis Steel and Machinery company
Alderman J. H. Duryea moved tc
amend the motion by giving the city
if he saw fit. This was carried. There
were present Aldermen Van Nest
Lane, Mumm, A. S. Adams, Ryan

only committeeman to vote agalns

while the lowest bid of the local con
Germ is $51,444. This is a difference O
$4,000, and some Of the aldermen
contend that the bonus is too big {
one to pay.

that if the city engineer had beer

there was only one course to pursue
to protect the interests of the tax

HE COPIED VICES
OF CELL MATES
PECULIAR CASE OF INSANITY IN
POLICE COURT,
James Davidson's Mother Says She
Reformatory Where He Parted
with Both His Wits and His
Virt1laS u

James Davidson suffering from a
peculiar dementia caused by being
confined in a reformatory with
thieves, when he was young, was in
police court to-day on a charge of
vagrancy. His mother promised to
take care of him and he was allowed
to go.
Mrs, Davidson's story to the court
was a peculiar one. She says that
when James was a small boy he be-
came involved in mischief, and before
she knew what she was about she had
signed papers for his commitment to
a reformatory in Nebraska. While
there he became demented and, being
associated chiefly with young thieves,
the disease naturally developed into
kleptomania.
When he was discharged from the
place, she said, nothing could keep
him from following a rowing life,
which finally brought him terms at
ST. Cloud and Saltwater for robbery.
Davidson and his mother arrived
in st. Paul yesterday, coming from
Denver, where he had been treated
for his malady. When he alighted
from the train he ran toward the river
and disappeared. He came immedi-
ately to Minneapolis and was picked
up by an officer last night while lurk-
ing in the alley back Of the North
Star shoe factory.

COLUMBUS GETS DAVIS
FAST OUTFIELDER AT LAST DE-
CIDES TO SIGN A CONTRACT
WITH THE OHIO CLUB.

Lefty Davis, the former miller, who
played with the New York American
league team, has finally decided to sign
with the Columbus team in the American
association, and will leave for the Ohio
city tonight or tomorrow.
Columbus has had a claim on Davis for
some months, but Lefty desired to play il,
one Of the twin cities if it could be ar
ranged. st. Paul wanted the fast out
fielder and made Columbus a tempting Of
fer to waive it's claim, but President Bryce
Of the latter club refused. There was also
a hitch on the salary question between
Davis and Columbus, but this has finally
been arranged in a satisfactory manner.
Last night Lefty wired Bryce his final
terms, and the latter responded by tele-
graphing transportation.
Davis played with Minneapolis in 1893
and 1900, and has always been favorite
with the fans Of this city. He is a speedy
fielder, a fast man on the sacks and a
good hitter He will materially strengthen
the Columbus team.

shooting ARRAY, supposed to have
been caused by a dispute over the
division Of the spells of a robbery in
the northern part Of the state, came
near ending fatally for Carl Sather
last night. Sather is now at the city
wound in the back. His injury is
serious, tho not necessarily fatal, and
as soon as he is cOnValescent he will
be turned over to the Duluth authori-
ties, where he is wanted for breaking
Jail. r-.
Sather was shot shortly after 9
o'clock last night at First avenue S
into Oscar Gardeners saloon to escape
from his assailant. He was sent to
the hospital and loungers in the sa-
loon saw his assailant disappear into
the Union station. He was followed
but escaped by running out Of the
north door Of the station, altho the
officers secured his description.
Sather said he was shot by two men
who attempted to hold him up. The
police were little inclined to believe
the wounded mans story, and when
he was visited by Detective Ed Helm
he was recognized as a crook who has
had some experience with the police.
HELM questioned him closely and Sa-
Their consented to change his story
made to hold him up, but that the
man who fired the shot had shot to
kill. He said he did not know the
mans name but that he had met him
in a gambling and beaten him
out Of a goodly sum Of money.

tive HELM found a woman who had
