One for the Attorney,


A certain we'll known judge was
once violently attacked by young and
very impudent counsel. 10 the sur
prise of every one, the Judge heard
him right through, unconscious OF
what was said by those present, and
made no reply.
After the adjournment for the day,
and when all were assembled at the
hotel where the judge and many of the
court folk had their refreshments,
some one asked the Judge why he did
not rebuke the impairment fellow.
Permit me-" said the judge, loud
enough to attract the attention of the
whole company, among whom was the
attorney in question. Permit me to
tell you a little story. My father, when
he lived in. the country, had dog-a
mere puppy, I may say. Well. this
puppy would 60 out every moonlight
night. and bark at the moon for hours
together
The judged paused as if he had fin
ished.
well, what of that?" exclaimed
hald-a-dozen of the audience at once.
"Oh, nothing-nothing; but the
moon kept on shining just as If moth
ing had happened"

Mills. Elevators ana Dwellings Swept
Away by a Conflagration That
Coursed the Bay Front For a Mile.
One Life Lost.
The most disastrous conflagation
that ever visited the head OF the lakes,
in point OF property destroyed, broke
out at the Great Northern Elevator A
and, racing eastward along the bay front,
wiped out or damaged half score of
industries, entailing loss estimated at
over half a million dollars v
The list OF the buildings and plants
destroyed or injured follows:
. Great Northern Elevator A, total loss,
with contents.
Grand Republic mill aud elevator,
total loss. "
Freeman mill and elevator, total loss.
Minkota mill and elevator, total loss.
Great Lakes Dock and Dredge com.
pany plant, partial loss. -
Whitney Bros' dock. building and
two tugs destroyed.
Barge works, Office building damaged
Eight residences on Connor's Point
destroyed.
The fiery outbreak, says the News
Tribune, was most spectacular. The
flames rolled in mass before the brisk
breeze, and enveloped building after
building in an incredibly short time.
The firemen were handicapped by lack
of water supply at the point where the
fire broke out, and tho whole district
was soon sending leaping flames heaven
ward and all the larger inflammable
buildings were doomed to destruction.
The fire was plainly visible as far
north as Two Harbors and west to Clo-
quet.
John sw4dbere, employed ut the
Great Northern elevator; was burned to
death.
The elevators employed comparatively
small crews. Most of the mon thrown
out OF work by the fire will find ready
employment in the work of clearing up,
rebuilding etc., SO that the loss to the
working class will not be serious.
