Little Falls Hunter Is Fined $100 for Shooting Game Out of the Season. Pt. Paul Pioneer Press: Convicted by his plea of guilty of shooting game out of season, Barney Burton of Little Falls has placed himself in the peculiar position of havmv to contribute to the payment of a reward for his own conviction. The obligation to contribute toa fund for that purpose arises out of the fact of his membership in a gun club which offered the reward for the conviction of a violator of the game laws. Burton, who is a prominent mer- chant at Little Falls, was indicted last fall on a charge of shooting prairie chickens before the season opened. The case was continued at the fall term of court and was to have come up this spring, but Burton decided to dispose of the matter and entered a plea of guilty. He was fined $100, but his troubles did not end there. He is a member of the Little Falls Gun club, which posted notices throughout that section of the country offering a reward of $20 for the arrest and conviction of anyone found violat- ing the game laws. Constable W. T. Tourtilgtt has put in a claim to the state game and fish commission for the $10 reward offered by the state in such cases, and in addition volunteered the in- formation that he intended to put in a claim for the reward offered by the gun club through the many SATURDAY, we will will sell Ladies’ Short Mushn Skirts dren’s Caps. est ever shown in the city.

Captain O. H. Dockery of Duluth, { who has the general management of the army recruiting stations for this ‘ district of Minnesota, was an official visitor in the city yesterday after- noon and last evening. While he was here Captain Dock- ery examined several recruits for enlistment in the regular army. He rejected three of the four applaints and accepted one, the latter being Clarence Foucault of this city, to whom the oath was administered and who will leave today for Fort Snelling. In speaking of his action in reject ing the three applicants for enlist- ment Captain Dockery stated that the army had been receiving so many recruits of late that he had positive instructions from Washing- ton to accept none but the very best men—those whose English was above critisism, and who must be fine specimens of physical manhood. Captain Dockery sent Private Brown from this station to Deer River, where he will assist Private Davis in getting recruits for the army. St. Patrick’s day postal cards at the Pioneer office.

Hereafter, the Pioneer will make a uniform charge of 5 cents per line the paper advertising any entertainment where admission is charged (with absolutely no exception) with fav- ors to none. We are forced to this action,~ as our columns have been altogether too well filled with this class of ad- vertising matter, to the exclusion of live news matter, and with no other remuneration to us except a few tickets to some entertainment or show which we did not give a "rap” tosee or hear, the tickets hardly ever being all used, and the priceof the tickets, at full rates, by no means equaling the cost of the advertising. We are not selecting any class of entertainment in mak- ing this rule.We simply want pay for our work, and we will be found to liberally patronizing these entertainments as any institution in the city. But there is such a thing as “riding a free horse to death.” We wish to establish this rule: Pay for your advertising, and we will pay cash for our tickets. This is but fair. Law as to Fish House. As the Pioneer has been frequently asked as to when the season closes far the use of fish houses on the various inland lakes of the st‘ate, we will state that fish houses may be used from the 15th of December of any year until the 1st of April following,license having first been ob- tained therefor from the State Game and Fish Commissiom The law relative to the matter is as follows: “'Sec. 46. . Fish Houses.—No per- son shall erect, have or maintain upon the ice in any of the waters of this state any fish house, struct- ure, enclosure or shelter whatever to protect the person of the occu- pant while engaged in fishing through the ice. “Except, that on all inland lakes of this state, a fish house may be used for the purpose of _taking pickerel, suckers and redhorse from the fifteenth of December to the first of April following, provided, further, that any person desiring to use such houses shall first make application for a permit for such use to, and obtain such permit class of papers. from the game and fish commission, stating that the sameis to be used by him for the purpose of obtain- ing fish for his domestic use and not for commercial purposes, which application shall be accom- panied by a fee of one dollar, but no such person shall be permitted to use more than one fish house.” New Safety Deposit Boxes. The Lumabermens National bank of this city has installed a new set safety boxes for the convenience of the patrons of that institution; and the boxes are being rapidly taken. There are sixly of the boxes in all and they are of the very latest make and pattern. The boxes are provided with two locks, the key to one lock being held by the bank and the key to the other lock being in the possession of the owner of the box. In this man- ner absolute privacy is assured to any one who desires a safety depository for documents of all kinds. The boxes are of various sizes and fitted to accommodate any The installing of these safety deposit boxes adds very materially to the Lumbermens National Bank d | to care tor their patrons. Notice.

Barker. - FIRST STEPS TAKEN Legal Action for Separation Be- gun by Evelyn Thaw. HUSBAND WILL FIGHT SUIT Intends to Contest Allegation That He Was Insane at the Time of His Mar- riage—Thaw Family Said to Be in Favor of Annulment. New York, March 12—The first legal step has been taken by counsel for Evelyn Nesbit Thaw in her con- templated action to secure the annul- ment of her marriage to Harry K. Thaw. Daniel O’Reilly, the young wife’s counsel, sent a clerk to the Mattea- wan asylum to serve the papers in the case upon Thaw and also sent pa- pers to be served on Thaw’s mother. He said: “Legally speaking, Harry Thaw is dead, 5o it is necessary to have for a defendant his next of kin. The mother will not try to make any trouble for us. She is very kindly disposed to- ward our case and is sympathetic with the attitude young Mrs. Thaw has taken. We do not believe that we will experience any difficulty in pro- curing a decision in our favor. “Nothing has been done in regard to a settlement. The reported figures —a lump sum of $50,000 and an an- nual allowance of $16,000—are all guesswork.” Thaw Will Fight Case. Acoording to A. Russell Peabody, Thaw’s counsel, Thaw will oppose the annulment with every means at his command and will contest the allega- tion that he was insane at the time of his marriage. It is stated that Mrs. Thaw is prepared to testify in her own behalf in this action, but that if her testimony should be useful in se- curing Thaw’s release from the in- sane asylum she is prepared to give evidence in his favor. It is reported that members of Thaw’s family strongly favor the move to annul the marriage and that if it be successful Evelyn Thaw will be provided for financlally. Although counsel for both Thaw and his wife announce that the action is about to begin neifther would disclose the cause of the diiference between the two, but it was stated that the trouble began. a year ago during Thaw’s first trial and that reconcilia- tion was an impossibility. A copy of the summons and com- plaint “issued on behalf of Evelyn Thaw has been.made public. It al- leges that at the time of the marriage Harry K. Thaw “was a lunatic and of unsound mind and was incapable of making a valid contract and incapable of contracting a marriage.” RELEASED ON $345,000 BAIL Former Mayor Schmitz Still Under Many Indictments. San Francisco, March 12.—Eugene Bchmitz, former mayor of this city, has been released from jail, where he had been confined for the past ten months, a free man until Hhe ‘again comes to the bar of justice to face the thirty-nine indictments which are still pending against him and upon ‘which he had to furnish $345,000 bail before being released from custody. Pursuant to the order of the higher tribunal Judge Dunne of the superior court, before whom Schmitz was tried and convicted, dismissed the indict- ment in the extortion cases and or- dered Schmitz discharged, but at the same time he directed that the extor- tion case be submitted to the new grand jury for the purpose of having & new indictment found. ' District Attorney Langdon would not say what steps would be taken to bring the extortion matter to the at- tention of the present grand jury, but it is probable, in view of the court’s suggestion, that it will be laid before the inquisitorial body without loss of time. CHINA HOLDING HER OWN. Eontinues Negotiations With Japan on Tatsu Maru Incident. Peking, March 12.—The negotia- tions between China and Japan re- parding the Tatsu Maru, the Japanese steamer that was seized by China Feb. 7 on the ground that she was convey- ing arms and ammunition to Chinese revolutionists, are proceeding on the basis of China’s offer to compromise on condition that Japan put a stop to the importation of arms and ammuni- tion from Japan into Chinese terri- tory. China seems to be holding her own in the proceedings, for her claim to the right to consider the Portuguese side of the question separately from the controversy with Japan has been accepted by Japan, at least provision- ally, and she has been able to sustain her claim of justification in making the seizure on the ground that the Tatsu Maru discharged her cargo in Chinese waters. China also has sus- tained hegr contention that the cargo of the Japanese vessel was liable to confiscation. She admits, in sub- stance, that she was wrong in hauling down the Japanese flag on the Tatsu Maru and for this error has apolo- glzed, but she has not receded from her argument that she had the right to conflscaté the ship and its cargo, nor from the principle of equable ad- justment of the difficulty, upon which she has all along insisted. 1t is understood in Hongkong that the consignees of the cargo of the Tatsu Maru have repudiated their obligations on the ground that the vessel digressed from the course she was charted to follow. FAILS TO FIX THE BLAME Coroner Simply Condemns Conditions at Collinwood. Cleveland, March 12. — Coroner Burke has rendered his decision in the Collinwood school fire. Conditions existing are blamed, but no fault is charged to.any one. Fred Hirter, the janitor, is exon- erated by the coroner. He says he found that he was at his post when the fire broke out and that he duly gave the alarm upon discovering the fire and that he opened the front and rear doors of the building. The coroner found that the fire started in a closet under the front stairway and was caused by overheat- ed pipes which ignited the stairway. The death of the children, he says, ‘was due to faulty construction, where- by-a partition projected in front of the stairway at the bottom, making the children turn out of the way in their rush for the door. He holds that the children became panic stricken and were jammed in the doorway because of the turn in the hall to get to the door. HIS SISTER OBJECTED. Anarchists Barred From Taking Part in Assassin’s Funeral. Chicago, March 12.—Olga Averbuch, sister of the man who was killed by Chief of Police Shippy, has entered a protest against anarchists taking part in the ceremonies incidental to the re- moval of her brother’s body from the potters’ field to a Jewish cemetery. The Jewish Free Burial association, which has the matter in charge, de- clared that anarchism is reprehensible to the Jewish race and is forbidden by the tenets of their religion. The anarchists, who had planned celebrations, were greatly surprised when told that they would not be al- lowed to be present. Shook the Earth for Miles. Cheyenne, Wyo., March 12.—A car- load of dynamite exploded at Buford, twenty-eight miles west of Cheyenne. The dynamite had been stored in abandoned barracks to be used in the gravel pits of the Union Pacific rail- road. The building caught fire and caused the dynamite to explode fifteen minutes later. The terrific explosion shook the earth for miles around. No one was hurt. Austrians Rout Workmen. Helena, Mont.,, March 12.—Former Austrian employes at the East Helena plant of the American Smelting and Refining company took things into their own hands and with clubs and rocks intimidated employes of the plant, causing them to return to their homes.

Glasgow, March 12.—Negotiations have been opened with the Italian manufacturers of iron tubing with the view of including them in the interna- tional iron tube combine. At present the combijne embraces the American, English, Scotch and German manufac- turers. The inclusion of the Italians will make the combine worldwide. Negroes Warned to Leave.

Other negroes were visited and notes shoved under their doors warning them to leave. All of the negroes visited are teported to be good citizens.

President Transmits Brief Message to Congress. ‘Washington, March 12.—In connec- tion with the report of the senate committee on military affairs on the Brownsville riot, just made to the senate, the president transmitted a message in which he said that the facts set forth in his order dismissing the negro-soldiers had been substan- tiated by the testimony before the committee. He recommended in his message that the time for the rein- statement of the discharged soldiers, which has expired, be extended for a year in order to permit the president to reinstate any of the discharged men who did not fall within the terms of his dismissal. Senator Warren pre- sented the report of the committee on Foraker the views of the minority. the shooting was done by some sol- diers of the Twenty-fifth infantry, though the testimony fails to identify the particular participants.
