SELL SOME TO DEALERS
PRISON TWINE OUTPUT WILL
MORE THAN SUPPLY FARMERS,
ORDERS. A

Prison Irvine will be sold to dealers
this year to quite an extent, for the
first time in several years Warden
VOTER, who was at the capitol today
comforting with Governor johnson and
members Of the board of control rela-
tive to the prison management, says
it is very probable that on May Il
there will be some Irvine on hand at, the
prison subject to orders directly from
dealers. This will be departure from
the long ablished custom Of selling
only to the consumer, and is taken to
mean reprisal against the Interna-
tional Cordage company, which recent
ly installed flax Irvine plant near
St. Paul to combat the prison Irvine.
The output of the Saltwater plant
this season, said the warden today,
will approximate 13,250,00O pounds
This is quite considerable increase
over former years, and is due to the
installation Of additional machinery.
Quite a portion of the product repre-
sents the higher grades Of twine. The
Irvine is made into six grades, and while
club orders have cut deeply into the
total supply, still there will be enough
Irvine produced to care for all small
cash orders that may come in. direct
from the farmers up to the close Of
| the 1906 season, which is generally
in this state about Aug. Is. The state
plant can care for moderate number
| Of additional club orders, and in all
probability there will be surplus on
May /, from which orders direct from
| dealers in Irvine will be filled.

SALOON LID FIGURES
in A DAMAGE SUIT

Is Thelander johnson s mental de-
rangement the result: of blows struck
by E. G. Dennell or the result of re-
ligious fervor? s5@#
This is the question that the jury in
the case of Johnson VS.. Dennell, now
on trial before Judge F. Y. Brown, will
be asked to decide, and upon the answer
depends the plaintiffs chances to get
the $4,000 damages that he asks.
johnson lclaims he was beaten and
bruised by Dennell and then thrown out
in the alley to suffer alone. Dennell
keeps a liquor store. He alleges this
action was taken without any provoca-
tion and that he has been physically and
mentally incapacitated thereby.
The facts as adduced tend to show
that the plaintiff was attempting to
hold some sort of a religious meeting
in the saloon, and that Dennell objected
to johnson s support of Mayor Jones
"id' policy. Words were followed by
the use Of physical force, and johnson
was worsted. ,-.@ ...-.sg*
Dennell contends that Johnson was
treated with all the consideration he
deserved, and that his insanity is not
the result of any treatment he received
in the saloon. E E.

MacKallos closest competitors were
Fred Putnam Of Red Wing, who re-

Of Virginia, Mimi, who was the choice
Of 80 university girls.
The contest is unique on the college
campus, and is the result Of determl-
nation by the league to break away
from tradition and invite the men of
the university to at least one Of the
league spring functions. In their eff
forts to agrea upon an invitation list
the girls decide to ask each member OF
the league to submit a list containing
the names Of ten university men whom
she wishes invited TO the function. AS
result the pla ndeveloped into an in

that the man who figured on the lists
the greatest number of times would be
hailed as the campus favorite.

80 HORSES IN PERIL
IN A STABLE FIRE

A valuable horse owned by G. E..
Eichler was suffocated in fire that
started early this morning in George
Miller s livery stable at 1908 First
avenue s.
The fire itself amounted to nothing,
and eighty other horses in the place
were taken out without injury. The
night Waterman discovered the fire as
he was making his rounds. He opened
the door to the wash rack and was
nearly overcome by the dense smoke
that rolled out. He Immediately turned
in an alarm and the department was
soon at work. .se
The flames were confined to one stall
in the rear Of the barn and were extin-
guished in less than five minutes by the
chemical apparatus alone. Most Of the
fremen turned their attention to get
ting the horses out of the smoke.
The horse belonging to Mr.. Eichler
was found dead in the stall, but had not
been burned. Smoke alone had caused
his death. @
The origin Eof.. the fire is a mystery
and theFonly explanation offered is that
someone dropped a match in the stall
and the horse stepped on it, starting the
blaze.
The horse was one ola $1,000 team Of
beautiful bays, purchased short time
ago by Mr. Eichler. The loss on the
building will not amount to $25.

Naples. ,5 y. si

A nervous tremor was felt In Min
neapoiis when reports began coming
yesterday of the panic in Naples. So
long as Vesuvius wrought its ruins
along the slopes and towards the west
and south, no fear for Naples seemed
warranted, but with the collapse of the
market building in the city and the
heavy losses of life, anxious inquiry
turned towards Minneapolis men and
in southern Italy.
The Piper party were found to be in
no DANGER. for its members had left
Naples March 10 and were heard from
in Rome March Il, and as it was the
intention Of Mr.. Piper to tour France
by automobile, it is certain they are
far away from Vesuvius by this time.
The party comprises Mr.. and Mrs,

GAY MR.. VAUGHAN
IS FOUND GUILTY
FORMER GRAIN BROKER OF
PENDED UNCLE SAM.
Evidence Against Head Of Rich
Quick Firm Is Too Strong to Be
Explained Away, and He Must Take
the Consequences Of Using the Mails
to Defraud.

Edward A. Vaughan, heard Of the
brokerage firm which came to sky
ricket finish about a year ago, after do
ing grain business which amounted to
thousands of dollars a day, was tins
afternoon found guilty by jury in the
United States district court OF using
the mails to defraud.
The arrest Of Vaughan was made IN
Denver last winter after he had been
a fugitive from Justice for months, and
his trial, which lasted several days.
was hard fought by both the govern
ment prosecutor and the attorney for
the defense.
It is estimated that by marking let
tiers addressed to the E. A. Vaughan
company as "fraud'' and returning
them to senders, the postoffice inspect
ors saved the people turnout the north
west at least $3.50, 900.
. Authorities at the Minneapolis post
office today announce that at least
10000 letters to Vaughan had been
withheld from delivery. These. letters
were all in response to circulars which
the company had circulated, and al
mlttanccs Of money. It is conserva-
tive to say that the average Of these re.
mittances for investment was $25, and
this figure makes the total $250,00O.
The postoffice officials believe that the
Vaughan operators secured in actual

Yesterday afternoon the attorneys
concluded their addresses, Homer Nor
