Congressman Buckman has taken up
the postal facilities matter at the pas
senger station. 1t has been the custom
for years to leave mail at the hotels
and at G. Fl Browns drug store after
the. pcstofice is closed, and the police
and bus drivers take the letters to the
depot. wnere they nave been placed in
a box in the express room and handed
to the mail clerk by the night baggage.
man. Some weeks ago postal order
ing sugar from a wholesale house was
mislaid in the box and the shipment
delayed. This led to some kicking
with the result that the railroad COM
pany ordered the box out and forbid
the depot employees from handling
mail This made it very inconvenient
and necessary for the officers to per-
sonally hand the mail to the clerk.
The department will probably remedy
the matter by having mail boxes
placed at each end of the platform so
that the clerks may easily reach them.

IONA" OR "UNI."
WHICH WORD DID FRANK
WIENER USE?

Whether Frank Wiener said lena, !"
or whether he said "uni,' in at
temp pting to tell who had dealt him
the blows that had broken his arms
and crushed in his skull, will pr ssibly
decide the fate of Kate Wiener, his
widow, when she comes to trial next
week at Little Falls on the charge Of
murder, says the St. Panl Globe.
Late in tte night Of JHne 20 Mrs.
Wiener brought neighbors to her home
in the town OF Pike Greek, Morrison
county, TO list her in caring for her
husband. She said that two tramps
had assar tied her husband by beating
him with clubs and that she feared he
would die. When the neighbors
reached the Wiener home they found
the old man dying.
"Who did it2'' they asked him in
Polish, and the dying man murmured
something in reply.
Some of the neighbors swore it was
ona'' which is equivalent to ''she. ;"
Mrs. Wiener and others say that
Wiener said ''uni,'' and this is said
to mean '"they.' The difference of
opinion of what Wiener bad said in
his last moments was developed ss.at
the preliminary examination, and it
is said will be close question in
the case.
Mrs Wiener has been arrested, and
it is said made confession while in
the woman's ward at the Stea1ns
county Jail at St. Cloud to the sheriff g
servant girl. She was to have been
tried in October. but because of the
sickness Of this material witness the
case was continued to Dec. 49, P. A.

EXAMINATION DEC. 10Th
Case of Depot Robbers to
Come up Next Tues
day

Thos. Martoin and Harry Harwood
were arraigned in Justice Sheldon's 8
court Saturday morning, charged with
the recent robbery and hold-up at the
freight and passenger depots in this
city. They pleaded not guilty and
Justice Sheldon set the date for pre-
liminary examination for next Tues
day, Dec goth. The accused had no
lawyer. The question of whether Neill
the leader of the gang, is to be held at
Brainerd, will probably be settled be.
fore Tuesday, and he may be brought
back and examined with the others.
The accused men maintain their in
nocence. Martain says it will be hard
to prove that he was in the city on
the day Of the roi bery, and claims he
never saw Neill before meeting him in
Bralnerd. There is evidence, however,
that he was in the city, and he has
been identified as one who sold vari-
GUS articles of clothing and cheap
jewelry in the city and coontry. Har-
wood says he has done nothing wrong
and cant see why he should he ar
rested. He also claims never to have
seen Ne;ll until he n,et him at Brain

THE BUCKMAN CASE
Defendants Demurrer SuS
tanned by Judge

duction in its demands If it expects to
collect by suit from Congressman G.
B. Buckman any damages for the al
legged loss of timber which as the state
declares, was uDlawfully removed by
the congressman from the state lands,
says the Globe of Friday.
This was the opinion expressed by
Judge Brill, of the district court. in
an order susta ming the defndant's de-
murrer to the complaint in the case of
the state of Minnesota against G. B.
Buckman. The action was Instituted
several months ago to recover &67. $50
for the unlawful removal of timber
from state lands.
Judge Brill also decided that an
amended complaint, if made, must
! state a cause of action triable in RAM
soy county. Twenty days are granted
within which such a complaint may
be filed.
Three causes of action were ad-
vanced in the complaint, one for TIM
ber cut "wilfully, knowingly and un-
lawfully'' in st. Louis county one
for timber cut wilfully, knowingly
ard unlawfully in Itasca county, and
one for timber cut unlawfully-but
not wilfullv snd knowingly-in Itasca
county. The cutting took place about
i've years ago.
Treble damages were asked accord
iur to law, where the timber was cut
v.!faliy, and double damages where
vas cut unlawully. but not wilfully.
The court is Of opinion that the
Sc cores under subdiyiaCn 2 ct sec
tion 5137 Of the statutes Of 1884
rhich provides hat 70 action upon q
statute for penalty or g forfeiture.
* hen the action is given to the party
a. gyieved, or to snch party and state,
shall be brought within three years
and under subdi vision. Of section
5;s4 of the statutes Of 1894, which
provides that action for q recovery OF
penalty or forfeiture imposed by
statute ehall be tried in the country
wbe1e the cause Of action. or some
part of it, arose. -r.-,-,~.- $50:
"The situation,' continues the
court, "is somewhat peculiar. The
plaintiff states suficien to permit 8
recovery of actual damages; and II
the demurrer were only on the ground
that no cause of action we're pleaded,
1t would be overruled.
But; it is sought to recover the
penalty provided by statute: and un'
der the provisions of section 5184 thu
action ia triable in the county where
the cause Of action, or some part o1
it, arose. The first cause of actor
arose in St. Louis county, and thu
second and third in Itasca county. Il
is improper to join in one complaint
causes of action triable in different
counties, and hence these causes o1
action are improperly united in this
complaint.
Nv, $50 far as it is sought to recover {
penalty, the action is barred by the
statute Of limitations.
~~,''But the complaint may be properly
amended so as to state a cause of &C.
tion triable in this county and not

The vault door was wrecked with a
charge of nitro-glycerine and then
purst the safe. The men. two or
three, could not have been gone long
before the alarm was given, but no
one had an idea as to which way they
had gone till several hours later, when
the team and buggy of William Chris
