ing the extension of Pleasant street.
While awaiting the arrival of team
they seated themselves under the over
hanging earth near the Mel Cook resi-
dence on Center street. Suddenly the
earth gave way, falling with consider
able force upon the trio. Tin was in
jjured on the chest. Londin sustained in
juries to his back, and Hert escaped
with a bruised hand. All three men
were able to eXtricate themselves from
under the earth, but it is feared that
lin. and Londin are hurt internally
DIR. Andrews was called to attend the
men.
The contractors had warned the men
not to seat themselves under the over
hanging earth, but it appears that these
injunctions were disregarded.
Walking down North Broad street
about nine o'clock last evening, Mrs.
George Folsom and August Magin met
the formers husband, and the discus
sion that followed was rather excit-
ing.
Some OF the residents of the section
where the talk was had say it was
mostly profanity that was spoken. Any
way, there was some feeling bad feel
ing manifested by one of the trio.
Folsom, who is painter by trade, al
Ieges that his wife wrote Magin a
dainty love-note, requesting him to
meet her at the union depot last even
ing. He found the note and decided to
see what would come of the meeting.
He secuted around the city and finally
came upon his wife and Magin saun-
tering along Broad street in the moon
light.
"Hello, there!" cried Folsom "Where
are you going?"
ooh, just out for STROLL" replied
Magin.
Not Pleasant Conversation.
Then the trio came closer and the
conversation that Immediately followed
could not be heard distinctly Whatever
was said was not pleasantly intended,
for minute later, Folsom alleges
Magin ''landed" on him and knocked
him down. 1t is reported that Folsom
drew a big long knife, and something
of pitch battle ensued. The woman,
little brunette, is said to have used
language toward her spouse that was
unladylike. Magin, who is a painter
by trade, but who looks like grand
opera singer with his portly form and
heavy dark mustache, was present dur
ing the entire encounter.
Folsom this afternoon swore out a
complaint against Nagin charging him
with assault and it is possible that the
domestic troubles that have existed be.

St Paul, May ll.-One thousand
'forties' of state ore lands under lease,
the whole representing nearly 100000
600 tons of iron and many of them UNI
dergoing development, is what Attorney
General George I. Simpson and State
Auditor S. G.. Iverson found as the re-
suit of their visit to the iron country
last week.
This land is leased on basis of 25
cents ton and, as it will take fully
fifty years to exhaust it, Mr.. Simpson
estimates for the state in that time a
revenue not far short of $25O.OOO,OOO.
One forty" alone is estimated to con,
tain S0,000,000 tons of ORE
The two officials found active opera
tions all over the range. On the state
lands many drills were at work and
on large number stripping had COM
menced
Simpsons and VERSIONS visit to the
range was for the purpose of inquiring
into private encroachments on mean
dered lake beds. the ownership of
which was vested in the state by law
passed by the last legislature. In the
case of one lake, the company at work
was found to be working far in ad-
vance of the meandered line.
In order to stop entertainments, suits
will be necessary, but no action will be
taken until Mr.. Simpson is fully as
sured as to the states rights. There
is some dispute in that respect, which
will have to be looked into thoroughly

Nearly $500 was subscribed yester-
day afternoon and there is now every
reason to believe that the move will

1t is the plan now to take over the

The players he banded together are a
clean set of young men and one of
their number has been successful in
