"BILL" GRIMSHAW, JR.,
LOSES THIRTY POUNDS

Deputy United States Marshal W.
H. Grimshaw, Jr., has hard-luck hot
weather story that will bring tears to
the strong. He has been attending the
term of federal court in Duluth, and
has not minded the summer in the least.
Saturday afternoon tho, the demands
of his office made it necessary for him
to take prisoner to Saltwater. "We
left Duluth at 2 pm. Saturday, said
he, "with the thermometer at only Sc
degrees, and people wearing light over
coats. All was we'll until we reached
Carlton junction, which is the divide
between the Mississippi and the Su-.
perior watersheds. Twenty minutes out
of Carlton and $ We began to bake.
Every mile it grew hotter. Goats came
off, windows went up and everybody
swore. When we reached Minneapolis
our cup Of grief was full to the muz-
zle.
"Stillwater has Minneapolis beaten
a million miles. It is the hottest hole
in Minnesota in the summer. Hills a
mile high all around. The only breeze
that can touch it is from the south, sind
that did not work Sunday. They say
there was breeze up on the bluff, but
the pen is not there, so we didn t get
in on it. Thank goodness I'm going
back to that dear Duluth, said he, as
he resumed his way up the shady side
of the street. ''af

ON TRACK OF A FORTUNE i
O. B. sTEELMAN BELIEVES HE
CAN PROVE HIS CLAIM TO
SHARE IN MILLIONS.

Between $30OO,0 900 and $4,000 900 is
the amount Charles B. Steelman Of 1l9
West Thirty-third street, Minneapolis,
hopes to inherit from the newly found
estate of Jonathan Steelman, his grand
father, long since dead
Mr.. Stee1man Toticed some time ago
in dispatches to the journal that the
heirs Of one Jonathan Steelman were
being sought, and after much research
has come to the conclusion that his
grandfather and the Steelman spoken
Of in the dispatches are one and the
same party.
His grandfather resided at or near
Atlantic City, N. J. In 1904 he moved
west, leaving power Of attorney with
another man to lease for 80 years GER
tain property in New York city, then
land Of little or no value. For this land
he received one year 8 rental and never
any payment after that, according to
G. B. Steelman Of Minneapolis.
Ny grandfather never went east to
look up his New York property because
he did not consider it worth the trip, =
said Mr.. Steelman today. "In recent
looking up this property in the east
leased by my grandfather, but it never
seemed to me to be worth while.
In investigating this eastern mat
ter, 1 find that most of the ancestral
steelmans, heirs Of Jonathan, centered
at Tuckahoe, N. Y. I have a cousin
owning a grocery store there, the only
man by that name in the town. I fine
that, including the members Of my
family and all my eastern cousins, there
are hardly over fifteen heirs to the
$55,0OO,OOO worth Of property now
awaiting distribution. The property
| in question is in the heart of New York
city, and part of the city buildings
have been built upon it.
"There is to be another meeting o:
the heirs before long in the east, which
I will probably attend

WARNER NOT REMOVED
St. Paul Census Supervisor Still In
Charge of the Work.

Thomas Cochran, chairman of the
joint committee on census for st. Paul,
writes to The Journal to say that
this paper is in error in stating that
Mr.. Warner, supervisor of the st. Paul
census, has been practically removed
from control of that work on the
GROUND of ineficiency. Mr.. Cochran
thinks Mr.. Warner has proved himself
efficient and that while he: has received
aid from the St. Paul Directory COM
pany, the work is still under his super.
vision. The journal has no DISPOSE
ton to do any injustice to Mr.. Warner
but has noted the fact that no conclu
sions with regard to the population OF
that city were possible until practically
two weeks after the regular time Of
completing the count.

NEED NOT WAIT FOR
Il. GRANpslURY ACTION

Prisoners in the county jail held to
the grand jury on felony charges will
ba allowed to take advantage Of the
new law and plead guilty, receive
sentence and begin the service without
waiting two months for the grand jury
to act upon their eases. Several in
mates Of the jail have signifed their
WILLINGNESS to do this, and Yesterday
be given this privilege.
Under the new statute prisoner can
signify in writing his willingness to
plead guilty. The district Judge must
then notify the county attorney to file
information against the prisoner, who
will then plead and be sentenced. This
will be boon to an accused person who
is ready to admit his guilt.
