Dave Foley Gets Even.

Chief David Foley of the Oliver
police is congratulating himself on the
evening up. of an old score with
Charles Powers private secretary to
Vice President Pentecost Mitchell of
the Oliver Iron Mining Co., in the
Wolvin building in Duluth. Mr.. Pow
ers is something of a practical joker
and about a year ago he placed a
chunk of iron in Mr.. Foley's grip on
one of his trips to Duluth, which the
latter carried home, while the boys in
the Wolvin building had laugh: Now
Mr.. Powers likes brook trout. He es-
teens them dainty and short time
ago Mr.. Foley promised him a mess
on one of his trips to the Michigan
country. He notified Powers the day
they would arrive by express and the
latter at once organized a dinner
party. He paid the express on what
he supposed was box OF brook trout,
had the box placed on ice and bid sew
eral of his friends to enjoy a trout
dinner with him. When ne went to
get the box and trout from the ice a
grinning porter told him it was filled
with iron ore one SMOKED nerrng'
badly mildewed, and some clover. Mr..
Powers recognized the ore as the same
bit he had placed in Mr.. Foley's grip
something over a year ago and he
knew that Mr.. Foley had evened up an
ancient score. Now he lodges his
friends when he meets them on the
street in Duluth and in the meantime
is setting up few pins that may help
him square accounts with Mr.. Foley.
