The DuIuth-Superior
Harbor Is BIockaded
AN UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT
DELAYS SHIPPING.
Steel Steamer Tore Down the Bridae
Between Duluth and Superior,
Blocking the Harbor and CLOSING
Street Car and Other Traffic.

Duluth, Mimi, Aug. 11.--At / o'clock
this morning the steamer Troy, a g.
600 ton steel package freighter, owned
by the Western Transit Co. coIIided
with a span of the Interstate bridge
and precipitated it into the channels
on either side of the center pier on
which the span revoIved.
Navigation to and from the upper
Eharbor, the most active portion of the
head of the lakes, is blocked.
The span was about one-third open
at the time of the crash.
The accident is the most disastrous
that has ever happened in the Duluth
Superior harbor.
The wrecked bridge lies in such a
manner as to block the channel on
both sides Of the center pier so that it
is impossible even for a tug to pass.
The street railway and team traffic be-
tween Duluth and Superior is cut off
and will be for some time to come.
Forty steamers, now i'm the upper
harbor, are cut off from returning to
the lake or to the Duluth side of the
harbor. Most of the coal docks are
on the upper harbor, also many of the
grain elevators. The merchandise
docks and the shipyards are on the
Superior side. Water communication
with all this is cut off.
greater part Of the tonnage Of the
Superior harbor originates in
st. Louis bay where the docks of the
Duluth, Mesaga & Northern road is
located, therefore many thousands of
tons of ore will be held UP until the
channel is cleared up. 1t is asserted
that the bridge cannot be put i'm COM
mission again this season although the
span now blocking the movement of
many steamers will be removed as
soon as possible, cOnservatively esti-
mated at two days. The estimates OF
the financial loss to the bridge alone
vary from 100000 to 100000. The
bridge when built, was bonded for
100000 and cost approximately ST.
100000
The pier, which held the balanced
draw span, is not badly injured and IL
is believed that with salvage subtract
ed the actual loss will not exceed $780,
600.

Cape Town, Aug. 1.-THE authori-

night by volunteers who have been
placed on active service. Bail is re-

Chicago, Aug. 1.-THE preliminary
action by the states attorneys of
flee against those responsible for the
failure of the Milwaukee Avenue
State bank, was begun today.
Assistant States Attorney Olson
was busy several hours preparing
bench warrants, whicn it is expected
would be taken out later in the day
befoer Judge Smith of the criminal
court.
Olson would not say for whom war
rants were being taken or how many
were being issued. He later commun-
icated with John G. F'etZer, receiver
of the bank, and Police Inspector
Shippy and instructed the latter to
obtain the books of the bank and
bring them to his office.
1t is probable that special grand
jury will be summoned and the mat
ter placed before 1t.
The police were today summoned
to keep order at the inquest into the
cause of the death Of Frank Kow-
alski, teller of the Milwaukee Ave
nue. state bank, who shot himself
yesterday evening at his home.
The feeling of some OF the deposi-
tors in the defunct bank was SO great
that the dead teller was cursed as his
body lay in the parlor of his home.
A wreath on the door of the home
was torn down and its flowers scat
tered by the angry men.
Sergeant Hamilton detailed at the
coroner's inquest forced the disturb
ers into the street. A policeman was
then stationed at the door to prevent
any person not wanted from entering
the house.
Ten warrants in the Milwaukee
Avenue State bank case were issued
this afternoon by Judge Kersten in
the absence of Judge Smith. The
first two charges conspiracy to cheat
and defrald the Milwaukee Avenue
State bank Of it's money, property and
goods, Paul q. Stensland, Henry w.
Herring, Theodore Stensland and
divers other persons as yet un-
known are named In these two war
rants.
The next two are against Henry
w. Herring and charge perjury in re-
gard to the report made and sworn
to by him to the state auditor in Jan
uary and on April I9. on the condi-
tiOn OF the bank
The enext two charge larceny of ST.
100000 and name Henry Herring.
Five cases OF forgery are then

The Soldiers Tried to
AsSassinatc Grand Duke
RuSsIA'S POSSIBLE DICTATOR
HAD CLOSE CALL.
While Reviewing the imperial Guards
q |e Was Almost Assassinated-
y q ne Real Bullets Mixed With
~ NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

St Petersburg, Aug. 11-Grand Duke
Nicholas Nicholaisvitch, president of
the council of national defense, mar
rowly escaped assassination yesterday
guards in the guard camp at Klasnoye-
Selo. Thus far the Associated press
has only been able to obtain meagre
details of the affair from which it
appears that the grand duke was per-
sonally reviewing the maneuvering and
putting the troops through a blank
firing practice when he suddenly was
started by the wasp-lil1e hiss of bull
let's about his head. Fortunately
neither himself nor his horse was
touched.
The command to cease firing was
Immediately given and the soldiers of
the regiment from which the bullets
came were marched back to their
quarters and investigating was be-
gun in the hope of ascertaining from
the barrels of the rifles which of the
soldiers fired ball cartridges.
Several arrests are understood to
have been made. One of the grand
dukes aid-de-camp, who, however,
was not personally present, advanced
to the Associated press the theory that
possibly the bullets were fired by ac-
cident, but he considered that beyond
doubt there was a plot on the part
of number of the disloyal guardsnien,
who deliberately planned to take the
grand dukes life under the cover of
general blank cartridge firing.

Another Victim of the Chicago Bank
-Stensiand's Shortage.
Chicago, Aug. 11.-Frank Kowalsl1i,
for five years paying teller of the Mil
waulxee Avenue State bank, which
failed last Monday, and for some time
assistant receiving teller in addition to
his other duties, shot and killed hirn-
self last night in his home here. Crit
icism by neighbors and lifelong friends
who accused him of share in the
downfall of the bank is believed to
have driven Kowalski to his death.
For two days he had been respondent
and the members of his family have
kept a close watch over him.
The climax of his trouble was reach
ed when woman, whom he had
known for years, accosted him on the
street and accused him of being res
ponsible for the failure of the bank.
Kowalski complained bitterly Of the
suspicious of his friends, and declared
that unless his character was speedily
cleared he would take his life.
K0Walsld's relatives assert their
firm belief that he was innocent OF any
knowledge as to the Acknowledgement
of the bank by President Stensland.
When the bank failed Kowalski had
800 of his own money on deposit and

FOR DENNY.
Judge Goss Sentenced
Banker-Mayor.
COURT TERM HAS CLOSED
JUDGE Goss THOUGHT DENNY
HAD A FAIR TRIAL ON THE
HORSE STEALING cAsE-THERE
WE'RE ELEVEN CONVICTIONS
sEcuRED-clTIZENs PLEASED.

Williston, N. d., Aug. 11.-District
court adjourned here last evening.
There were twelve criminal cases and
out of that number there was but one
acquittaI.
The verdict in the Denny case was
somewhat of surprise to many as a
disagreement had been expected. A
stay of proceedings was granted by
the court and an appeal will be taken.
In imposing the sentence Judge Goss
stated that he felt that a fair trial
had been given Mr. Denny and that
he would necessarily be compelled to
fix the sentence, which was three
years.
Five piggers were sentenced to terms
of confinement varying from ninety to
125 days each and an additional fine
of from $500 to $3.50.
There were three cases of assault
and battery, all of which pleaded
guilty and were fined with term in
the county Jail If the fine was not
paid in twenty -four hours.
There were two other cases, one of
which small fine was imposed and
in the other the defendant was dis
charged.
1T is one of the best terms of court
ever held in Williams county and the
citizens feel that the work of the
court has been dispatched with de-
gree of rapidity and justice seldom
equalled.
Only three cases were continued
over this term and one of these would
have been tried if the jury had not
been composed mostly of farmers who
were needed at home at this time of
the year.
