AMES TO HAVE
TRIAL In JUNE
DATE FIXED FOR THIRD At
TEMPT AT CONVICTION.
State Announces that It Is Ready for
Trial and the Court Names June IS
for Taking 1t Up-Jurors May Be
Hard to Get.

Former Mayor A.. A. Ames will be
tried for the third time on the charge
of accepting a bride before Judge G..
B. Elliott The work Of impaneling
Jury will be commenced Monday
morning. June 10.
When the Bessie Lee case against
DR.. Ames was called this morning
County Attorney +. H. Boardman
said: your honor, the state is ready
to move this case next Monday morn
ing. We have found that our Witness
es can be secured and some Of them
have been subpoenaed for that date"
Judge Elliott explained that the
criminal calendar Is in such shape
that the Ames case can not be taken
up for ten days at least and that the
court had an engagement In the east
Immediately following that time. IF
the attorneys will consent to take up
the trial Of this case on June 10,
will hear it, said the judge. Counsel
all readily agreed and the date was
fixed.
That from four to six weeks will
be consumed in the third trial Of DR..
Ames is the common belief among
those who have been watching the
case and from the attitude Of both
the state and the defense this esti-
mate seems a conservative one. The
plan Of not challenging any Of the
veniremen called will probably not
be used at the coming trial, as one of
the defendants counsel said recently
that they would determine the condi-
ton Of each Jurors mind before he
was sworn. But in event that non
challenging tactics are adopted,
County Attorney Boardman will I'M
doubleday do the challenging with
the result that hundreds Of venire-
men will be examined before twelve
good men and true" are selected.

SALOON men ARE
READY TO FIGHT
PREPARED TO REPEL BOARD
ERs BY VARIOUS DEVICES.
Automatic Alarms, Masked Batteries
and Heavy Additions to Armament
Installed as the Result of Recent
Saloon Hold-ups by a Gang of
Masked Desperadoes.

It is no merry task to run saloon
in the outlying districts Of Minneapolis
where the policemen's beats are long.
Within a week a gang of robbers with
masks and revolvers has "stuck up
proprietors of lonesome saloons in
their places Of business and the re-
mote corners Of the patrol limit terri
tory are arming.
Not knowing when their places will
be visited, the drink dispensers have
concocted variety of plans for de-
tense, among which are to be found
several that would be ludicrous If they
were not so dangerous.
In one saloon in south town the pro-
prietor, who says he used to be an as
sistant mechanic on the Fuerst Bis
marck, has been at work on an auto
matte signal by which his bartender
can call him from his room on the
floor above by pulling string with
his foot. It worked all right in the
test, but when the barkeeper went to
sleep on his stool last night and ac-
cidentally flung a heavy foot on the
lever while dreaming, the proprietor
had hurry-up run for naught.
There is another saloon In the same
neighborhood where the proprietor
has poked two revolver muzzles thru
the front of the bar, so that the bar
tender can duck down behind his bar
ricade and open up with his masked
battery. Up north one saloon keeper,
who has electric lights in his place,
has tapped the wires, charged small
storage battery and made connections
that will enable the person in the
saloon to ring a gong as big as a
bushel basket. The policeman on the
beat has been instructed to keep his
ears open for the clang and his legs
ready to run with haste to the saloon,
Almost every outlying saloon that
wasn't already stocked has had sew
eral revolvers added to the equipment
within the past two weeks.

SUPREME COURT

81 =
The supreme court to-day settled
an interesting HointT bearing on the
relations of Aspfoperty,s owners and
brokers in the negotiating of loans. It
is in the case Of Mary Mott, a Mime
apolis real estate dealer and Samuel
T. Ferguson. The syllabus explains
the point and is as follows: -
Mary Mott, appellant, vs.. Samuel T.
Ferguson, respondent:
First-Where a broker is authorized to
secure loan for the owner Of real estate
as exclusive agent for the purpose to
take UP a mortgage the owner implicitly
reserves the right to obtain the loan him
self, and If he concludes his arrangements
before a person ready, willing and able
to take the loan is furnished, the broker
is not entitled to commissions.
Second-Whether the loan Is secured by
the owner from a. third party or by a
renewal thru agreement with the person
holding the note and mortgage Is Inn
material so far as the brokers' rights to
commissions under the implied obligations
of the latter's agency.
Third-The right to commission in this
case being subject to the right Of the
owner of the property to secure the same
himself the latter having made an oral
agreement for the renewal in good faith,
which was not enforcible, the statute of
frauds cannot be invoked for the protec-
ton of the broker to secure commits
sions.
Order appealed from is affirmed.
