CAPTURED a Neiqhbor's Cat.

This last summer members OF the
United States fish commission were
stationed at Lake Maubogog, Me-, for
The purpose of gathering statistics In
regard to the finny tribes which in
habit that region. The guests Of the
small hotel where they made their
headquarters were very much an

of skunk, and steps were taken to
capture the offender
A box trap was constructed, duly
baited and set. Through small holes
in the box the guests were highly
elated to learn the following morning
that their efforts had not been in
vain.
The fish commission men, thinking
1t an unusually fine specimen decided
to preserve its pelt, minus the objec-
tionablc odor, if possible, and. gently
handling the box, they proceeded to
the lake, carefully lowered it into the
water. removing 1t when all life was

The convention unanimously en-
dorsed knute Nelson to succeed him
self next winter, and renominated
Chief Justice Start by reclamation.
The convention was called to order
at 10.45 a. m. by Condo Hamlin of
ST. Paul, chairman Of the state cen
trail committee. E. L. Miller of Du-
luth welcomed the delegates and w.
W. Sivright of Hutchinson was chosen
chairman unanimously, an agreement
having been made between candidates
that he should be the choice George

George P. Wilson of Hennepin county
moved to endorse Senator Knute Mel
son for reelection and paid an eio-
quent tribute to MinnesOta'S senior
representative in the upper house Of
congress. The motion was carried
amid cheers by rising vote.
The temporary organization was
then made permanent and motion to
proceed to nominations carried. Chief
Justice Start of the state supreme
court was named by reclamation to
succeed himself. The convention then
proceeded to take an informal ballot
for governor, the result being as fol-
lows: Jacobson 34S, Cole 230, Block

erville 81, Diment 651s; necessary to

A first and second formal ballot fol-
lowed. no great change being shown
in the vote received by the several
candidates. When the third formal
ballot began it was apparent that the

who led on the first ballots, stood the
best chance of all the candidates of
obtaining the nomination. He was
running on his personal record as a
member of the Minnesota legislature,
where he earned a reputation as a
reformer.
At midnight before the day of the
convention Jacobson's nomination
seemed almost a certainty. But in
the morning the six other candidates
in the field got together in a determi-
nation to withstand Jacobson STAN
pede and on the fourth ballot, after
Jacobson had held a good lead and
was making some gains on each bal
lot, the convention broke away and
nominated A. L. Cole of Walker, a
prominent leader in the last session
Of the house.
A peculiar feature of Coles nominal
ton is the fact that at midnight he
had decided to withdraw from the
fight. Other candidates for governor
finally induced him to stay in the race
until a show of strength was made.
He stayed and walked off with the
nomination.
Jacobson, it is said, was backed by
Il. c. Dunn, the Republican candidate
who was defeated for governor by
John A. Johnson two years ago.

WITHDRAWAL OF SPRAGUE
SURPRISE TO DELEGATES.

The election of lieutenant governor
was first on the call for the actual
business of the afternoon session OF
the convention, and one of the sur
9rises was the withdrawal of the name
of G. A. Sprague of Sank Center as a
candidate for second place This was
done In the interests of harmony, as
Sprague and Cole hail from the same
district.
This gave practically clear field
for A. o. Eberhart of Mankato and w.
A. Nolan of Grand Meadows, but the
Mankato man won. receiving 633 to
440 votes for Nolan.

TWO BALLOTS NECESSARY

II took two ballots to decide the
nomination for secretary of state in
favor of julius H. Schmahl, which
followed the balloting for the state
authorship. In the first ballot
Schmahl failed to secure the SAG
votes necessary to choice, getting
only 444. Five candidates were in the
field, E. A. Nelson of Hallock, j. ].
Lomen of Ada, julius Schmahl of Red
wood Falls, Captain James Hunter of
Faribault, and Swan B. Molander of
st. Paul Captain Osborne and Tom
Girling, both of Hennepin county, de-
cided not to have their names pre-
scented to the convention at the last
moment. From the first Julius
Schmahl was the favorite.
On the second ballot Schmahl re-
ceived 703 votes, Nelson $50, Eomen
At, Hunter 46 and Molander 49,
There were but two candidates for
clerk of the supreme court, and C. A.

McEWAN IS MAKING
SELF DEFENSE PLEA

The state IS case against Alexander
McEwan, accused of kicking to death
Frank A. Grain, was completed short
ly after court convened today. Proof
has been introduced to show that the
defendant went to the Eleventh ave-
nue. resort, accompanied by Julius
Hoefner, on the night Of May ~, and
the strong inference is that they went
there for the purpose of. "getting"
Grain, who had taken Hoeffner s place
with the proprietress of the place.
In opening to the jury for the de-
Tense after his motion to dismiss had
been promptly denied, Harry s. Mead
stated that it would be shown that
McEwan struck Grain only after he
was attacked and that he did not kick
him. Julius Haeffner was the first
witness called by the defense. He is
also under indictm emit for manslaughter.
He testified that McEwan. was attacked
first and acted in self-defense. Under
cross-examination by First Assistant
County Attorney John F. Dahl, the
witness admitted that he lied to the Of
fcers the day after the tragedy The
case will go to the jury tomorrow.

STREETCAR OPEN SEASON
ST. PAUL ALDERMEN TAKE THREE
FALLS OUT OF TROLLEY COM
Panty IN ONE SITTING.

The st. Paul City Railway company
received three "knocks' at the hands
Of the St. Paul board Of aldermen last
evening. And this happened in spite Of
the fact that the company took five Of
the aldermen on junket in special
car to Minnetonka yesterday. ~
The first "knock' was the presenta-
ton of a communication by Acting
Mayor Haas from P. M. Kerst, public
examiner, stating that the company had
for years been avoiding paying license
for its cars. 1t was recommended that
a special ordinance be drafted on the
subject. The matter was referred to
the corporation attorney for the draft
ing of the desired ordinance.
The second blow for the street rail-
way, was the passage of an ordinance
permitting the company to run it's Ham
line cars around the union depot loop,
hut at the same time requiring ten
| minute schedule for the operation Of
the Jackson and Stryker cars morning
and evening, and a seven-minute serv-
ice on the Mississippi and West st. Paul
cars morning and evening. :;
The third action taken against the
company was the concurrence by the
| aldermen in the action of the assembly
in appointing a St. Paul committee to
act with the committees from Mime
apolis and Duluth with a view to get
ting a reduction in streetcar fares.
The aldermanic committee consists Of
Alderman He'll, Gerber and Mem.
