IOWA PARTIES WILL
BUILD TIMBER ROADS
Will Convey Logs to Be Cut From the
Chippewa Tract

The Leech Lake &. Northern Railway
company was incorporated yesterday
and line of road will be built by the
new company to deliver the cut of a.
large tract of pine owned by Iowa
parties to the Great Northern and
thence to the mills and markets.
The articles of Incorporation give
authority to the new company to build
a line of railroad from a point in sec
tion 20, town LA, range 80, and to run
northerly to point of connection with
the line operated by the Great Northern
in township 145, range 80, and from
this point of connection northerly in
town 145.
The corporation is capitalized at $780,
600, and the incorporators are: M H.
Mccarthy, lawyer Of Dubuque. Iowa
w. II. Day Jr., a lumberman of the
same city; Alvin E. Mccartney, N. H.
Clapp and Augustus w. Clapp, the last
three being attorneys of st. Paul. Day
has been in ST. Paul for some days on
business connected with the incorpora-
tion Of the new company. The st. Paul
incorporators say that their connec-
ton with the company Is largely that
of a legal nature
N. III. Clapp said yesterday that 1t
was doubtful If the road would be
built this season. The timber to be cur
is a part of the Chippewa tract sold
last winter by the government and
purchased by Iowa parties.

TESTS THE OIL LAW
Merchant Convicted of Its Vio-.
Iation Attacks 1t

On the outcome of the case of the
State Of Minnesota against M. D. Will
liams, due to be argued before the
state supreme court on June 27, the
legality of the so-called linseed oil law
on the Minnesota statute books de-
pends.
The case comes up on the appeal OF
Williams, from the Mower county dis
trict court, and is in reality test of
the law. Williams was arrested on
complaint of the state dairy and food
commission, charged with having rep
resented and sold as pure linseed oil an
oil which was impure and adulterated
by the use of mineral oil; that when
the oil had been subjected to a heat
test Of 800 Fahrenheit it had showed
a shrinkage of per cent.
The defendant was found guilty by
Justice j. e. Robinson, of Dexter, Now
er county, and appealed to the district
court. The justice courts judgment
was affirmed, and he then appealed to
the supreme court, raising the question
of the legality of the act under which
he was convicted.
The law requires that linseed oil
which, when subjected to the heat test
for two hours shows the presence of
more than per cent of mineral oil,
shall be deemed to be impure and adul-
terated, and provides penalty for it's
sale. The defense maintains that the
state may prescribe a condition under
which it may be sold, such as desig-
mating label, but it cannot prevent
the sale of adulterated linseed oil by
the act under which it is attempted to
regulate it's sale. A Minneapolis whole
sale dealer is said to be behind the de-
tense and to have inspired the Mower
county man to appeal each time.
There are a number Of cases de-
manding prosecution by the dairy and
food commission, but which have been
held in allegiance by the commission
pending the result Of the case now in
the supreme court. The case will be
argued before the full bench on June
~ and the commission is hopeful that
the hnseed oil law will be upheld by
the state tribunal.

TR0UBILLON DANGERS
ARE CIRCUS FEATURES
Artistic Group Adds to the Attraction
of the Big Show

The exceptional and artistic always
predominate in Ringing Brothers
Worlds Greatest Shows. This compels
diligent search of the world for crea-
tIons of novelty and magnetic charm.
NO exclusive feature in amusement in
vention is too expensive. This pro-
greSS1Ve spirit has been the means Of
inducing the great Les Colini- Clairons
company of eccentric tRoubillon dane
erS to make their first American an
pearance. There are eight dancers,
four of each sex, and the artistic tern
sichorean conceits they evolve in
rhythmic movement may aptly be de-
scribed as delicious" National figures
of dance the world wide over are
charmingly portrayed in characteristic
step. Beautiful conceptions in gym
nastic whirling and bending are in
terpreted with a dancing cadence in
sinuatingly delightful The ladies are
Whirled at arms length, poised in diff
cult acrobatic attitudes, and twirled
with lightning velocity with graceful
ease and perfect musical time In the
bewildering whirlWind variations of
this sensational dancing speciality are
combined all the most difficult achieve
mentS of extreme. .acrobatic, gymnaStic
and athletic culture, with the added
alluring charms of graceful and refined
art, and pulsating sensitive human
nature. Inc sparkle OF youth, the in
fection of music, and the enchantment
of dance are blending graces in this
phenomenal terpsichorean invention
that vivify with thrilling interest the
most astounding acts of athletic idols
in every civilized country since the
world began. The dancing girls are of
the chic Partisan type, willowy and vi
Vac1ous, and their agile partners are
symmetrical figures of the high-born
and well-trained Parsian. The novel
dancing act of this troupe has been the
rage in European capitals, and all pre-
vious attempts to bring the attraction
here ended In failure. This unique
feature is another brilliant evidence of
the refined enterprise and judgment
which has made the Ringing Brothers
big show the most complete, attractive
ly varied and satisfying exhibition on
earth. Ringing Brothers will exhibit
at ST. Paul Tuesday, June %, giving
two performances, at 2 o'clock and. at
8 o'clock. The big street parade will
leave the show grounds at 10 o'clock
sharply.

MINNESOTA is FIRST
Its Butter Exhibit Ranks High

A report received in st. Paul last
night from ST. Louis told of the sue
cess that had attended Minnesota but

educational contest, inaugurated by
the national department at the st.
Louis exposition.
Minnesota took first in the June con-
test in nearly every class in which it's

The Minnesota exhibit captures first
place on creamery butter, first on dairy
butter and first on print butter. It's
exhibit, in point of number of entries,
Iar outstrlpped any other state, and it
was feared that this fact, coupled with
the further fact that the scoring was
delayed In starting, would initiate

.DYNAMITFD COAST
TRAIN ARRIVES
Dining Car Conductor Says
Five Bandits Looted
Express Car

When the North Coast Limited train
of the Northern Pacific arrived at the
union depot last evening at 7:10, four
hours and fifty minutes behind time,
there was nothing about it to indicate
that it had been the prey Of desper-
ate gang of robbers in Montana. The
express car which was wrecked by dy-
Mantle had been left behind at Living
ston. and only the stories of the train
crew and passengers confirmed the
sensational reports of the daring hold
up at Bearmouth Thursday night.
The passengers were unable to tell
anything of the affair beyond that they
had been aroused by three loud reports
at the head of the train, followed by a
terrific fusillade of shots fired into the
air by the bandits to intimidate them.
A few of the most venturesome who
had been bold enough to stick their
heads out the car windows were
promptly ordered to get back in.
Express Messenger John T. Jackson,
who resides in st. Paul, at 205 Sher-
burne avenue, was the man who de-
fled the bandits and compelled them to
use dynamite to secure an entrance
into the car which contained the safe.
He stopped off at Livingston with his
car. He has been on the western end
of the line during the past month, hav-
ing temporarily exchanged shifts with
the messenger on duty on the Western
divisions.
Five Bandits Attacked Train
f. w. Lyon, dining car conductor,
said that there were at least five men
engaged in the holdup instead of only
two, as press reports from Montana
stated. Two of the men boarded the
tender when the train stopped at the
Bearmouth water tank, he said, and
remained concealed till the train reach
ed the point where the job was to be
completed. 1t is in one of the widest
spots in Montana, two steep cliffs on
both sides of the track forming a deep
canyon.
When the train was stopped Engineer
Wade and Firemen Red were COM
PEELED to leave the engine. Three other
men were waiting where the train
stopped and they covered the coaches
while their confederates attacked the
express car. Messenger Jackson re-
fused to open the door and Engineer
Wade was forced to place stick of
dynamite on the door sill and was or
dered to light the fuse with cigar
which one of the robbers gave him.
The door broke open when the dyna-
mite exploded and the men in the ex-
press car were ordered to clear out.
Engineer Wade was again compelled to
serve the robbers. He was ordered to
put five sticks of the explosive on the
safe The discharge failed to work
and another load. this time twenty
sticks, was put on the safe. The sec
ond blast was more effective than the
first, and the side of the car was torn
out, the safe cracked and hurled fifty
feet from the track. The robbers hav-
ing broken the safe were compelled to

While two men busted themselves
collecting the treasure three men stood
about the train firing guns and re-
VolverS inceSsantly. The effect of the
constant shooting was to create panic
among the passengers, who sought to
hide themselves in every possible man
ner, crawling under seats and hunks
and concealing themselves in berths
and closets.
After gathering up their booty the
robbers commanded the engineer and
fireman to remain at the train. Two
men went to the end of the train, put
out the lights and disappeared. The
train was stopped at IL o'clock and
was not able to start-till 3 o'clock. The
robbers worked leisurely and coolly,
taking an hour and twenty minutes to
do the job.
