Forced Out of Business.

There can be nothing more dis
couraging to a firm doing a nice
business than to be forced out of a
business location and out of city
through the sale of the building &C.
cupied and the inability to secure
another business location. But
this is the fix in which Siegel Bros.
find themselves through the recent
sale of the Fay Block. and the leas-
ing of the store room occupied by
them for saloon purposes.
Messrs. Siegel Bros. have diligent.
ly sought new location in the. city
but without avail, and in order to
dispose of their stock inaugurate a
slaughter sale lasting throughout
the month, some of the cut prices
being found in their Advertising
space in this issue. =.
The room at present used by Sic
gel Bros. will be occupied shortly
after August 1st by John Hovland,
Mr.. Hovland's present location in
the Rooney Block to be occupied
by the Bell Clothing Co. The Bell
corner in the Opera House Block is
wanted as quickly as possible fora

PERJURY CASES TO Be PROBED.
Federal Grand Jury on the Trait of
nOmeSteaderS.

A sensation is promised in Du.
luth when the federal grand jury
convenes next week, says the News
Tribune. With no criminal cases
on the court calendar the indica.
tions were for a rather uninterest-
ing term of court, but it comes from
an unquestionable source that the
grand jury will investigate num-
Der of cases of alleged perjury in
connection with United States
homestead entries. A large num-
Der of homestead entries have been
under investigation tor some time
by secret agents of the government
and the evidence has been worked
up to such degree in about doz-
en- instances that the government
prosecutors are ready to ask the
grand jury for indictments.
The Duluth grand jury is also to
be presented with evidence for in.
dictment in several timber trespass
cases.

tion %, 59-14 which is said to be
very valuable ore land, was begun
in district court Monday before
Judge Dibell and a jury.
Macomber alleges that on March
4, 1880, he preempted the land and
was given a patent later by the
government. He claims that he is
still the owner in fee. of the pro.
perty and that he has never con-
veyed away his rights.
The defendants, on therisht hand,
allege that Macomber* about 26
years ago decided the <property to
Michael Fink and that they obtained
their rights in the property through
Fink. :.~
Macomber claims thatany instru-
