OFFERS TO SELL LIGHT PLANT Edison Electric Company Makes Prop- osition to Duluth. The Edison Electric company, which furnishes electric light for Duluth, of- fers to sell its plant to the city. It is proposed by the electric company that a board of appraisers be selected to fix the price. The Edison Electric company will select one man, the city will select another, and the third man will be selected by the two appraisers already named. At the last municipal election the people voted to buy the present electric plant, or to build a new one. The proposition of the elec- tric company has been sent to the common council and probably will be accepted. AGED SISTERS ASPHYXIATED Duluth Gas Officials Deny Detaching of Meter Was the Cause. Augusta and Pauline Voight, spin-| eters, sixty-eight and seventy years of age, were found dead in bed, as-j phyxiated b home in Wo luth. The city gas department detached their meter. The gas department peo- ple say the work was done properly, minating gas, at their d, 2 suburb of Bu- | but that a break in the pipe outside the basement wall allowed the gas to escape and that it leaked into the house through an aperture surround. ing the pipe. The dead women are Germans and lived at Duluth nearly thirty years. Hogan opened a wholesale liquor house in East Grand Forks after the “lid” was put on and was arrested on a charge of selling liquor without a license, but was subsequently dis- charged on a writ of habeas corpus The chief of police appealed the case. | The supreme court holds that the city council has not the power to | license and regulate the sale of liquor | @t wholesale and therefore Hogan can | continue business in the “dry” terri- | tory. WETS WIN AT FERGUS FALLS | | Court Decides That License Carried ' at Recent Election. | Judge Taylor handed down a deci- | sion in the district court at Fergus Falls in the injunction suit brought by the anti-license people to prohibit the issuing of liquor licenses in that city. The vote at the recent election was 600 against license and 546 in fa- vor, with 87 blanks. The charter pro- vides that licenses shall not be grant- ed “if a majority of the legal votes cast at which election shall be against license.” Judge Taylor announced that he would hold that a majority of the votes cast on the proposition should govern were it not for a supreme court decision in an Osakis case. In that case the supreme court held that a majority of all votes cast at an elec- tion was necessary to carry license and Judge Taylor holds that in this case the same rule will have to apply in order to defeat license. He accord ingly dismisses the case and the council is now at liberty to grant li- censes. BODY OF DOUGLASS FOUND Minneapolis Victim of Titanic Disaster Recovered. The family of Walter D. Douglass, Minneapolis millionaire, has been noti- fied that Mr. Douglass’ body had been recovered near the scene of the Ti- tanic disaster.

TORNADO STRIKES DULUTH | Small Twister Damages Many Struc- | tures in Suburb. | A small tortiado hit New Duluth, a suburb of the Zenith City, partly wrecking many buildings, demolishing the electric light plant and leaving the Place in darkness. Bricks from wrecked chimneys flew through the air and many had narrow escapes. Two funnel shaped clouds joined just west of the town and the twister dashed down the main street. Floods of rain followed it. The site of the new $10,000,000 steel Plant also was swept, but no serious damage was done. The storm subsided in a few minutes. THREE MEN DROWN ATDULUTH Sailors Walk Off Dock During a Heavy Fog. Three men from the package freighter North Sea perished in the bay at Duluth. Two of the bodies were recovered by the lifesaving crew. The three men had gone into the elty to do some shopping previous to boarding the steamer. They returned after a heavy “fog had settled about the dock and in some manner walked @ff the edge of the dock. Child Drowns in Well.
