FOR DIVISION OF
REWARD MONEY
SUPREME COURT APPROVES
CLERKS TAXATION OF COSTS
IN THE FRANkHAusER REWARD
CASE AND DIsMissEs THE 'AP-
PEAL OF ATTORNEY PETERSON.

Attorney DosIand and other at
torneys received notice this morning
that the supreme court Of Minnesota
has approved the taxation Of costs by
the clerk in the Frankhauser reward
case. thus dismissing the appeal Of
Atty. F. Fl. Peterson on behalf Of
Sheriff Whaley. The contention Of the
appellants was that each claimant was
entitled to statutory costs Of $2b, aris-
ing out of the appeal by Detective
Murnane Of st. Paul. who took an ap-
peal from Judge Taylor's award Of 5000
to Murnane.
In his taxation OF the statutory costs
the clerk OF the supreme court divided
the s25 among all Of the respondents
which gave the latter $500 each and
this the court has affirmed.
This is the end of the rope and now
will come the division Of the $4,000,
$500 of which will go in a lump sum to
Detective Murnane, the balance OF $4,-
400 will now be divided according to
the percentage plan stipulated by the
two groups of claimants known In the
battle for the award money as eastern
and western. The division will PROB
ably be made on the return of Attorney
Marden from GAINESVILLE. The money
is in the custody Of Clerk Of Court
McCubrey Of Clay county. The battle
for the division of the money began
over two years ago and twice there
has been an appeal to the Minnesota

RronmhaII,a Report.

Liverpool, Aug. 24.-Argentine esti-
mated wheat shipments this week l.
SOC. 900; last week, $4,000; last year,
1876. 900. Corn this week nil; last week
nil; last year, 3,417,00O bushels. The
effect OF the weak American cables
yesterday was offset by the scarcity
and firmness of both Danubian and
Russian offerings and the market was
steady at the opening and u higher.
Following the opening there was
further advance of NON with shorts
nervous. Large houses here We're good
buyers and all offers were readily alb
sorbed. There was pronounced steadi-
ness in Buenos Ayres where offers are
firmly held and private reports from
Russia are less favorable as a result
of rain. The weather in the united
kingdom is rain and led to fears of
damage of quality. Argentine ship
ments are expected to be liberal this
week, but those were offset by fore
cast of lighter Black Sea shipment.
The whole market was very firm and
at 1880 o. m. prices were rs on higher
than yesterday. The corn market was
duh and nominally unchanged.

Sept. is to allow the return of Super
intendent WEIGH of the state insane
asylum. A brother Of Mr.. Nortnfoss

released from the asylum for the in
sane on the ground that he Is sane
and has no business to be an inmate
of the institution Northfoss comes
from wadena county where he was
formerly clerk of court. He attacked
one man with big knife there, ana
was considered a dangerous charac-
ter. He was indicted for assault, but
was found to be insane and com
