The supreme court of Minnesota, sat Monday in a case involving the question whether or not the state || has the right to leasé lands lying un- der .water fur mineral exploration, {intimated quite broadly that there wonld be no change in the law which has prevailed in Minnesota since the State was admited to the Union, which law confers no such power in the state. The case under consideration was a. State of Minnesota ex-rel Rich- rant, relator, againts Samuel’G. ersun, commissioner of the land of- fice of the state of Minnesota, and the suit was a friendly one so far as the parties in issue were concerned. Other Minnesota minning men, however, intervened and tiled briefs in opposition to the claims of the relator. A large number own land abuting on lakes which would be ser- jously depreciated in value were the eourts to decided in favor of Grant and his contention that the state has aright to lease tand lying in the beds Of the lakes of the state. The case came befure the supreme court on a writ of certionari directed to S. G. lverson, state auditor, and land commissioner, requiring him to | certify for review the record of his ac- tion in refusing. to grant to Richard F. Grant, a Duluth attorney, a miner- al lease covering certain lands lying under the waters uf Snowball lake, in Itasca county. While it is questionable whether or not there are valuable minérals un- derneath Snowball lake, the suit was in a sense a friendly issue between Grant and the state auditor. The auditor bad previously issued leases to mining men under similar circumstance, but refused in this in- Veilings A stylish veil adds to the appearance of any woman.

DUNN IN STREET BRAWL Forgets Himself and Strikes Revorter on the Streets of St, Paul. Robert C. Dutin, candidate for the Republican nomination for #overnor, and Char'es B. Cheney, a writer on the Minneapolis Journal came together thé otter -day in St. Paul. County Attorney Spear, in company with Mr. Cheney, were com- ming down the street from the state capitol when they saw Mr. Dunn standing on a corner talking witha friend. Mr. Spear wishing to speak to Dunn stopped and shook hands with him. 1n the course of the cun= versation Mr. Spear spoke of the Re- publican campaign and of Dunn's candidacy in a joking manner, and in replying Dunn spoke of the Minne- apolis Journal, at this, Cheney, who had been standing at some distance, moved closer to the two men, and heard Dunn refer to the Journal in a slighting Manner, and also men- tioned Cheney’s name. All undoubt- edly, fur Cheney’s benefit. He said something to the effect that he was glad that he did not haye the support of the Journal, for it had never elect+ ed theman it had supported, then followed some allusion to Cheuey. Hot words followed and before any- oue couidinterfere Dunn struck Cheney on the head with his unbrella, knock- ing off Cheney’s hat. At this Chene! promptly landed on puns. neck wit! his fist, the two. men /then tried to clinch but were at once seperated by reporters before any further damage was done. Cheney had a slight scratch on his hand, but whethe from the point o fDnon’s uinbrella ee the edge ef his collar, it is hard to tell. The two men then separated and Dunn went at once- to his head- quarters in the New York Life build- ing and Cheney was at the Merchants hotel with friends for a time. .Such conduct as this cannot but injure Mr Dunp’s political outlook, and it‘cer- tainly should. A man that will en- gage in a disgraceful street brawl would not very well carry the honors of an office such as he aspires to, © Grant in person filed a brief and ‘/orari as asked for in this case. Stances for the purpose of precipitat- ing a suit that a determination of the question whether or nut the state interest in the beds of lakes as will give the right to is- e mineral leases thereon. Other plications pending were held up sion in the case. On the trial of the case yesterday argued the case orally. Attorney General Donahower filed a, brief, in which he raised the point that the court in this proceeding could not grant the relief asked for. Washburn, Bailey, & Mitchell, and Jacques & Hudson, Duluth attorueys; W. R. Begg, St. Paul, and \M. H. Stanford, an Illinois attorney,/each submitted briefs against the proposed lease, as representing clients who own lands which would be adversely affected either by the issuance of the lease in question or similar leases, and sever- al of the attorneys arguedthe case orally before the court. It wasin the course of Grant’s argu- ment that Chief Justice Start asked a question which is taken to forecast the court’s decison. . He intended that if the the con- tention of the relator was the correct one, the improvements made about St! Louis bay, consisting of elevators, mills, wholesale houses and docks, and estimated at miilious of dollars, all standing on lands origivally under water or on made land, would never have been built, for certainly no man would invest any large amount of money on land which the state still | controlled. The chief justice suggest- ed that the state had no such author- ity over lands in a meandered lake, Wut the shore rights belonged to the land owners, and this right could not be destroyed by a writ of certi- ‘The case was taken under advise ment by the supreme court. June 14th is Flag Day. Governor S. R. Van Sant has issued a proclamation designating Tuesday, June 14, as flag day, and recommend- ing that residences and places of busi- in the state be decorated with the Stars and Stripes during the day and that exercises of patriotic nature be held in the public schools. The proclamation is as follows, In pursuance of the commendable custem established among the states of the Union, [ hereby proclaim Tues- day, June 14, 1904, as Flag Day and recommend that the day be observed by all patriotic, liberty-loving citizens of Minnesota. I would also suggest that exercises uf a patriotic nature be held in all the schools of the state, | and that our citizens decorate their | homes and places of business with the Stars and Stripes. | Qur telephone number is 159. Two Do.tvuars a YEAR, NEED NOT - $EE LAND Applicants for Chippewa Land Not Compelled to Visit Place, Homestead applicants for the Chip- pewa Indian reservation lands in Northern Minnesota, to be opened to settlement June 15, will not be re- quired to furnish with their appli- cations, affidavits stating they had been on and examined the land. .They can make their applications without having seen the land in question, ac- cording tu a communication received at the local land office today from the general land office at Washington, answering an inquiry of the local afficials in regard to the matter. There has been some confusion and, misunderstanding relative to this feature of the ofening, so that the decision of the commissioner is one of unusual interest at this time, says the Duluth Evening Herald. The Washington letter reads in part at follows: “The lands in question are ceded Chippewa lands, the cession, examin- ation and disposal of which was pro- vided for by act of Jan. 14, 1889., Sec- tion 4-of said act, as amended by the act of June 27, 1902, provides for the examination of the lands after sure vey and their classification into pine and agriculture lands shall be dispos- ed of by the United States to actual settlers ouly, under the homestead law,’ with the additional condition that each settler shall pay $1.25 per acre for the land, and the instruc tions, dated Nov. 14, 1901, provided that all persons thereafter making applications to enter or locate public lands under the homestead or other laws, shall furnish an affidavit showing that the Jand applied for contains no salt springs or deposits of salt in any form suffieienily to render it chiefly vaiuable therefor. “In the case of Minnesota vs. Hitch- cock, the supreme court of the Unit- ed States stated that. “The words *public lands’ are habitually used in our legislation to describe such as are subject to sale-or other disposal under the general laws, It held further, that the Red Lake lands were not. public lands, having been ceded “by the Chippewa Tadians in trust, the lands to be solid: for>the creation of a fund for the Indians themselves. “The lands to be opened on June 15, 1904. were ceded by the Indians under the same law and under the same conditions as were the Red Lake lands, a part of which is in- volved in the prospective opening. “As stated above, said lands are to be disposed of ag pine and agricul- tural lands and alsv under the gen- eral provisions of the towsite law, and there is no authority for dispos- ing of them under any other laws. Iam, therefore, of the opinion that a nonssaline affidavit is not required in Chippewa agricultural entries. . You will be governed occordingly.” Catholic Ladies Social. The social given by the ladies of the Catholic church at the home of Mrs. E. C. Kiley was a success in every way. The proceeds of the sale and supper amounted to $61.42. Socially, it wasone of the most pleasant affairs, held here. A Rare Speciman of Fish. A fish was taken at the pulp mill dam last Thursday that is quite a cur- iosity. The fish was taken by H. M. Merryman after about twenty-four minutes of hard fighting. The fish weighed about eight pounds and its body was long and shapely with large scales, The dorsal fin extended from the middle of the back to the tail. ‘Lhe tail was rounded hke a horse- shoe with the ends for the muscular part, and in color its back much re- sembled a trout, while —under- neath it was a bright green. This is a fish very seldom seen in these waters, its home being farther north, and even there, is smail numbers. ‘The latin name for this fish is piscatorius tructa grene, or green-bellied trout. Mr. Merryman_ has this fish on exhibition at his residence. The Methodist Ladies Gives Soical The ladies of the M,E. chuch held a social ‘Tuesday night at the residence of Mrs. W. J, Powers. A large num- ber attended and an exceedingly nice time was had by ail present. The social was a success in every particular. Thieves Rob Postoffice. ‘The town of Wilton, about six miles west of Bemidji, had a little visit from thieves last Friday night which left the postoffice in the hole about $400 in cash and $100 in stamps. The safe was dynamited by what appears to be expert men. |STRIKERS ARE ». SHOT DOWN Two Men at Eveleth are Shot by the Deputy Sheriffs. A week ago last Friday the strikers at the Drake & Stratton work at the Faya] mine attacked Italian laborers who ,were going to work under the protection of deputy sheriffs, and the situation tvoked so serious that the deputies thought that it was time to interfere. Several shots were. fired and two of the strikers fell, one with a bullet in the head and another with one in the breast. Both men are Finlanders and are in a serious con dition. Another man was arrested and thrown into jail. An angry mob soon congregated and made dire threats of what they would do if their comrade was not released. This was done, in spite of the fact that there were a number of deputy sheriffs present at the time. The strike is the outcome of a re- duction in the laborers’ wages of fif+ teen vents per day. They formerly received $1.75. Things are quieting down therea little and it is expected that by Mon- day the strikers will be willing to aec- cept the reduction. Birthday Party. Little Gladys Sheldon, daughter of Mr. and Mrs, F. P. Sheldon, gave a party last Wednesday to celebrate her eighth jbirthday. A large number of her young friends were present and the little folks enjoyed themselves as only children can. A nice lunch was servedto the children at the proper time. Miss Gladys received many pretty presents. New Meat Market. The Central Market is the name of a new business house in this city, whose proprietors are Clysdale & Mill- bach. Mr Clysdale is an old resident here and formerly was in the bakery business. Matt Millbach, was former- ly in the eniploy of the Pioneer market. Both men are well known and. will undonbtedly do a thriving business. New Slet Machine. The English. postmaster general is considering a penny in the slot ma- enabled to obtain stamps at all hours —a useful matter when the postofiices are closed. The machine is so con structed that it can be fitted intoa wall or pillar box, for it is of small compass. The purchaser after plicing the penny in the slot, presses a knob and the machine does the rest. The stamps are placed on a roller. and only one stamp is released at a time, while an indicator shows the number of stamps reinaining in the machine. This is an advantage, and will pre- vent the loss of sundry pennies and the use of “language.,” Tee Cream Social. The ladies of the G. A. R. postponed their social until the afternoon and evening of Tuesday, June 14, when ice cream and cake will be served in the old Michigau house. | Ice cream and cake will be servedand a quilt Raflled. A ticket on the quilt including ice cream and cake will cost 25 cents. Fifteen cents will becharged for ice cream and cake alone. Mrs. J. U. Rosser Sells Hospital. Mrs. J. C. Rosser who formerly owned the Rosser hospital at this place, and for the past three years and a half was running the Leslie hospital in Superior, has sold the in- stitution tu Mrs. Fredericks, who was ber superintendent, and will go to Minneapolis, where she has vther bus- iness interests. Blackduck and Other Towas in Danger Biackduck, Tenstrike and Hovey Junction were in great danger from forest fires last week. Only the heroic work of the citizens, saved Blackdnck from extermination. Last Saturday an appeal was sent to Be- midji fora fire engine and the city immediately responded. The engine was not unloaded from the cars, how- ever, for the citizens had the flames under control, Tenstrife and Hovey junction also had narrow escapes.
