been heard a mile on a quiet day.
 The occasion for the remarks was a ''jollying'' conversation between Alderman Moore and former Alderman G. H. Estes.
 "Oh, but we'll fix you," laughingiy de- clared Estes.
 This brought forth a remark to the same effect from Moore regarding Estes.
 Then Moore pulled up his coat sleeves and for 10 minutes told in stentorian tones of Just how he would stir things up if the commission government should be placed upon Birmingham. He said In plain language that he didn't like the com mission plan but his constant reference that nothing would keep him from being the head commissioner set some of his hearers to thinking.

Further than this we will run things in such a way that we will have the hottest kind of revolution in two years. ana there isn't anything or anybody that can put us out until our terms expire, and then we will go back into office again.
 There was no attempt on the part or the alderman to speak this sentiment con- fidentially. As a matter of fact, some or the auditors declared that he could have

 While dazed from the blow the rob- bers took his coat and hat, then bade him "skiddoo," which he did promptly. He reached town and reported the matter to police headquarters. He was out of breath while a huge knot adorned his head. Luckily for him his money was not in the coat and the robbers failed to secure anything in this line.
 This makes the third robbery with in a week in which the victim was compelled to shed all or part of his clothing.

The Gamblers Interested.

50 far as there being any money paid to city officials for protection, I don't believe it," said one of these men. r"Why do you suppose these places have half a dozen doors to pass through be- fore reaching the alleged gambling rooms if they are paying for protec- ton? Then with the further aid of the locker club why should they pay for it? Added to this do you think they are going to hand out graft money when the officers are dropping in from IS to 25 times day? Another thing there is not any big gambling going on in Birmingham. There may be a number of small games but you won't find any big ones."
 For a rumor so old and with no one who will come out plainly with state ments it is a decidedly healthy one so far as It's being talked is concerned. It has travelled so fast and is being talked of so much that aldermen are talking of appointing a committee to investigate and settle the matter eith- CT one way or the other.

FIRES ON THE MESABA RANGE
Number of Towns Threatened With
Destruction,


Forest fires are raging around many
of the Mesaba range towns and cities
and unless rain comes soon great dam
age will be sustained. No less than
seven towns or mining locations are
now threatened and the fires are be-
ing fought around all of them. These
places are BiWabik, Aurora, Virginia,
Eveleth, Gilbert, Mckinley and Me.
saba. The reports are that the fires
are worse than last fall.
Fire is burning on the north and
south sides of Virginia. That city has
twice been destroyed by fire.
The miners at Mckinley are out
fighting the fires near that place and
the village of Mesaba is reported to
be practically surrounded by fires.
There is much anxiety in all of the
towns named.
The north country is ripe for dis
astrous fires, being very dry. For
tunately there is little wind.

NORRIS BEHIND THE BARS
Manager of InsoIvent Minneapolis
Concern Captured.

Sherman r. Norris, general man
ager of the Minnesota Grain Indem-
nifty company of Minneapolis, has been
landed in Jail after a search of three
days. He was found in Mill City
boarding house by detectives.
AS far as the financial conditions of
the firm are concerned the authorities
are as much at a loss as ever. Attor-
ney George b. Leonard, acting for a
number of shareholders, has made a
hurried examination of the company's
books and reports that he is of the
opinion that there is but $4,000 miss
ing in place Of 100000 as first sur
missed from Norris report.
Mr.. Leonard figures that Norris re-
ceived s14S,0oo from his clients during
the year ending July G, when Norris
disappeared. Of this amount S119,0O0
was paid to investors as principal, but
in most cases as dividends. Norris
says that a $4,000 loss in the grain
market preeipitated his fall.
The books, Mr.. Leonard says, tend
ed to show that dividends We're paid
to favored ones. The amounts of divi-
dends were fixed according to the sit
uation. The assets amount to little.
Mr.. Leonard does not believe the con-
Germ can pay cent on the dollar.

VIOLATION OF CONSTITUTION
Injunction Issued by Lower ri
bunaI Sustained.

The state supreme court has de-
clared the so called pork barrel"
bill unconstitutional without dissent
ing vote. The court held that the
bill was in violation of the article in
the states constitution which forbids
the state being a party to the carry
ing on of internal Improvements.
Chief Justice Start wrote the opinion.
The attack on the appropriation Of
100000 for roads and bridges, made
by the last legislature and divided
among the different counties of the
state, was made by Senator L. o..
Cooke of Wabasha.
With the state road improvements
now up in the air and no chance to
relieve the situation until the next
meeting of the legislature two years
hence the possibility of special ses-
sion of that body was put up to Gov
ernor Johnson, but he would not COM
nit himself He said he did not in
tend to cross any bridge until it was
reached.
At the time the bill was passed he
objected to it and stated that he
thought it unconstitution After the
legislature had adjourned he retained
