WEIGHED" ON POKER LOSS.
Why Prominent Minneapolis Man is
Talked About,

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Dec. 2S.-In
the town, where men of commercial
prominence and financially respon-
sibility congregate, and where affairs
between gentlemen are discussed, there
runs today the story of a big poker
game that came off few days ago in
Minneapolis, in which a man of more
than ordinary business and social
prominence, having dropped $1,000,
'welched," and refused to make good.
The man who, it is the gossip, laid
down. on his losses and refused to
make good, is not regular trader on
the Minneapolis chamber Of commerce,
but he devotes more particularly his
attention to extensive outside interests.
The gossip says that a long run of
hard luck, followed by a final loss of
$4,000, turned him sour and he re-
pudiated the last loss. There is no
law by which a gambling debt may be
collected.
Not a thing was wrong about the
game; only the sporting blood of the
players ran a little higher and for
once the usual limit was removed.
One man who plays for the love of the
pastime and stands ready to lose or
win $1,000 Or $4,000 any evening, for
the sport of it, pulled out when large
gaudy jackpots we'll over that amount
began to appear on the table. 1t was
a little swift for him, he said
Nothing can be done in the matter
The clubs and commercial bodies of
which the alleged welcher is a mem
Der might take action, but there is
10 legal status at all to such a case

arranged to make the signals and who
witnessed the hanging, refused to say

were like the prearranged signals.
After the rope had been placed about
Tapley's neck and he was asked
whether he had anything to say, he
replied:
Gentlemen, am guilty of this
crime, exceedingly guilty I am sorry
for it. She led me into it by torturing
me. I am sorry for it and am justly
punished"
The doctors examined the body seven
minutes after it had shot through the
trap and found evidences Of life. The

AND FRIENDS OF Or
GANIZATION HOLD ANNUAL
MEETING TODAY.
All Fears Of a Break Between Mayor
MecIeIIand and Leader Murphy
Have Passed Away.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2s.-This is the
day for the annual reorganization of
Tammany hall and the members and
friends of the organization, which
practically controls the political stu
alton and patronage in this city, are
awaiting the result with considerable
interest When Mayor Mcclellan an
nounced his candidacy for reelection
two months ago, the relations between
him and Tammany Hall seemed con-
siderably strained and when Mr. Nc
Clellan was reelected, it was feared
that ne might emphasize his political
independence by turning against Tam
many Hall and breaking all relations
with Chas F. Murphy, it's leader. Since
then, however, the mayor has assumed
a much more conciliatory attitude from
which it is understood that the leader
of Tammany Hall has received salts
factory assurances from Mayor Nc
Clellan, which have allayed all fears Of
a breach. 1t is understood that Mayor
Mcclellan, although he will, to some
extent, maintain mis- political indie
pendence, will consider the wishes OF
Tammany Hall in the matter Of new
appointments and will not make any
appointments which would be directly
distasteful to Chief Murphy and the
other leaders Of the party.

FORTUNE COMES FOR TRAMP.
Strange Story of w. Grow, Formerly
of Des Moines.

CASS LAKE, Mimi, Dec 2S.-From
a common lumberjack and wanderer
on the face of the earth, penniless,
sick, apparently without a relative or
friend, and thrown upon the mercy
of strangers, to the sudden acquire
ment of a fortune amounting to $13,-
900 is the story of William Grow, a
common workman, VINO has been at
Bemidji for several days.
Last Friday a worn-out individual,
clad in thin garments and with only
pair of overshoes on his feet, walked
into the saloon owned by F. E. Dud-
ley at Bemidji and, accosting the
proprietor, told him a story of hard
ship that at once touched the heart of
Dudley. Grow, who is 60 years of age,
had walked to Bemidji from Park Rap
ids, a distance of fifty miles, and had
tasted food, but once on the trip. One
of his feet was frozen, he was ill and
in a pitiable condition.
sent for DR.. w. r. Morrison. The
clothes of the sick man were searched,
resulting in the finding of a
letter from Des Moines, written to a
sister. The letter contained a request
for the whereabouts of Grow, and it
asked that if the letter was obtained
by the William Grow wanted he
should write at once to the sister The
letter was written in guarded language
not disclosing any particular reason
for ascertaining the Whereabouts of
the brother.
DR.. Morrison wrote to the sister
The reply came in telegram, request
ing that everything possible be done
for the sick man, and stating that a
person would go to Bemidji and look
after him. In the meantime Grow had
rapidly recovered, MS condition hav-
ing been caused by his long exposure
and other hardships
Monday evening P. D. Grow, a ply
sician Of Des Moines, arrived at Benz
idji, and, after seeing the man, said
he was his brother He said that for
several years diligent search had been
made to find MIN, and that there was
a sum of $4,000 deposited in a bank
at Des Moines for him, that being his
share of an estate left by a wealthy
relative to William and P. D. Grow and
their sister. William Grow was soon
strong enough to make the trip to Des
MOines, and after he had been fitted
out with a new suit of clothes and
otherwise transformed, he left with his
brother for the old home Before

ENGINEERS MAKING RAPID
PROGRESS ON SURVEY OF
UPPER COLUMBIA.
Nc RAPID
Many Dangerous Rocks Loeated-A
Month or Six Weeks Necessary
to Complete Work.

Government engineers engaged in
making a complete survey of the
Columbia river between the mouth
of the Snake and Cello will COM
plete the work within a month or
six weeks. The party of engineers
employed on the survey is in direct
charge of Lewis S. Miller, who has
men under him. The party is equip
ped with strong gasoline launches
and a number of rowboats and
barges which are used in taking
soundings on every foot of the river.
About 80 miles Of the 12O-mile
stretch has been surveyed and
charted.
Dangerous Rocks Located.
1nnumerable rapids have been
thoroughly surveyed and they were
found to be full of large rocks which
will be dangerous to navigation un-
til they nave been removed
The purpose of the survey has
been to locate these instructions and
then to estimate the cost Of removing
them from the channel. When this
has been done a project for the i'm
provement of the river will be
drawn up by the United States en-
gineers and forwarded to Washington.
An appropriation covering the esti-
mated cost is expected to be granted
by congress.
The engineers nave covered a
distance Of 80 miles and have 80 miles
yet to go before the work is COM
pleted. 1t is believed that the worst
part Of the river has been covered
This will be the only thorugh sur
vey which has ever been made to
that portion of the upper Column
bia river. Light draft boats have
been running at certain periods of
the year, but after the channel has
been cleared it is thought they VIII
be able to make through trips dur
ing any period Of the II months.
