ALL RECORDS ARE WANTED, r_ND A LEGAL DEMAND WILL BE MADE FOR AGENT AXDRUSJ DATA. BIS -FIUEXD FERRIS OUT NOW. It In Believed That the Other Mem- ben Can MaLe Tli in km Warm S-tr tlie E_.-A«*ent. " ere Is a prospect of a lively fight for the possession of the records of the Did state game and fish commission, which, instead of being in possession Df the commission, are where not more than one member of the board can get it them. When the commission meets again Feb. 11, to organize with the new member, C. S. Benson, of St. Cloud, It is entirely probable that mere ag gressive action will be taken than has hitherto been the case. Representa tive Ferris, the retired member, has al ways been loth to believe aught against hi*J friends, ■ and was very apathetic tvhen the proposition for an investiga tion was brought up. Mr. Benson, it Is believed, will not be opposed, even negatively, to the most rigid investi gation, and it is deemed certain that i well Inforced demand will be made •in the possessor of the books that they be turned over to the commission or its secretary, Hon. Fred Yon Baum bach, of Alexandria. With these rec ords in its possession, the commission will be In a position to explain many of the apparent eccentricities which have been laid at the door of previous ad- | ministrations, and it is possible that scandalous disclosures may be made. Executive Agent Fullerton, of the commission, is in receipt of an offer from Cobb, the commission man, to compromise the case of James, who was the Park Rapids end of the deal broken up by a recent seizure. As yet, however, the proposition has not been accepted, Mr. Fullerton, on the other hand, declaring his intention to push Cobb to the limit of the law in all cases where the evidence is conclusive. It is believed in some quarters that he Is the chief of the violators of the law, and It is evidently on this the ory that the executive agent Is work ing. AN OLD TIME RELIC. , British Horse Pistol Presented to Historical Society. Maj. William A. Jones, United States army, in charge of the upper Mississ ippi reservoirs, has forwarded to the Historical society an old British smoothbore horse pistol dug up at Sandy Lake, Aitkin county. The his tory of that locality is of the very old est in the state. The Mound Builders, according to Brower's reports, opened and maintained the great portage lead ing from Lake Superior .to the Miss issippi. Copper mines were opened on ] the south shore of ' Lake Superior so j many centuries ago, by those people, that the true date is not ascertainable. j However, the copper implements and I tools made from the native ore and i used at Sandy Lake have been exca vated and found to be in all stages of corrosion and decay, some entirely fall en apart by the act of time, while spears, arrow points, knives, etc., of pounded copper, have been found in a perfect state of preservation, indicating a more modern, yet sufficiently ancient mold ing. In 1*659, when Groseilliers and Radisson reached and crossed the Miss issippi, west or southwest from Mille Lacs, the Sioux Indians in force had succeeded the Mound Builders. After the Sioux had been driven out by the Ojibways, Lieut. Pike in 1804-5 found the British at Sandy Lake and reported all the circumstances. The Northwestern Fur company also .had a post on the banks of the Mississippi there, the old inearthed ends of the stockade still remaining. By the pur chase of . Louisiana, a very paying stroke of business, ownership of the entire upper Mississippi came into the possession of the federal* republic — and the construction of the reservoir dams followed in. regular order, and the excavations at Sandy Lake un covered from their long resting place the relics of bygone days, including the old horse pistol which Maj. Jones says was found in the bed of the river far below the surface, near the outlet of the lake. The land marks of the Mound Builders, of the •. Sioux, the Ojibways, • the British, the Northwest ern Fur company are still plainly vis ible in that locality, where an igno rant, superstitious and poverty-stricken Indian potation still exists, without schools, without churches, and appar ently without hope or visible energy. These are the results of the vicissitudes of time, . for the locality is one of the garden spots of the state," isolated to such an extent that its redemption rests with the building of the Superior canal from the Great Lakes to the Mississ ippi. POLICE AID ANNUAL. Officer** Are Elected and Financial Deports Received. The annual -meeting of the 'St. Paul Police Mutual Aid association was held yesterday at the central police Id-atlon. The reports of the retiring of- fleers showed that during; its' existence pf a single year from Jan.- 4, 1895, the Association has not : only ■ cared for all its obligations, but has accumulated THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: SUNDAY MORNING, JANUARY 12, 1896 TWENTY PAGES. a satisfactory surplus, and bids fair to become a marked success. Treas urer M. H. Daly reported receipts for the year of $2,079.70, including $889.70 from the Interurban base ball game. j Of the latter amount, $400 was lost i through the death, owing to an acci- | dent in the return game played at j Minneapolis, of Officer Gleason, of "St. Paul; this sum having been paid to I his widow. The sum of $300 was also paid to the | beneficiaries of Detective O'Connor and i Sergeant Zirkelbach. After the. pay- ; ment of all benefits and expenses the ! association has now on hand a balance ] of $1,159.65. Lieut. William Budy was re-elected president, while Capt. Phil Schweitzer was chosen secretary, and Officer Thomas McMahon treasurer. The new board of trustees consists of M. H. Daly, detective; A. F. Morton, chief's secretary; Capt.

The Northern Pacific Clerk Passes Away at Hrniner-1. The news of the sudden death at the Northern Pacic sanitarium at Brainerd of Thomas Turn bull was received yes- terday afternoon, and proved quite a shock to the relatives and friends of the young man in St. Paul. The young man, who. was employed in the office of Tax Commissioner Fernald, of the Northern Pacific, was taken ill early In the week, and his friends, think- ing he was in for a -siege of typhoid fever, prevailed upon him .to go to the company's hospital, and he left the city of Brainerd in charge of Conduc- tor Quinn on Tuesday. He grew worse, and finally developed symptoms of pleuro pneumonia, from which malady he died. A bare tele ' gram was received by E. F. Rice, su perintendent of the Pullman Palace Car company, whose brother-in-law the young man was, ' announcing the lat- ter's death. - "P-PA 7 y ".' I The deceased was born In Muskegon, Mich., and was twenty-five years old. He has until the last two -years been a member of the Rice family, on Lav- rel avenue, Mr. Rice having brought him up. Two. of his sisters live In the city, and are Mrs. E. F. Rice and Mrs. H. C. Drake. The remains will be brought to St. Paul, and the funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon at 3:30 o'clock, from the .. Rice residence, 290 Laurel avenue, after which Mr. Rice will take the body to Muskegon for Interment. Small Fire at Midway.

CLOUGH FIXDS HE HAS A .'.■-.-,-",-? .ROUGH ROAD TO TRAVEL. MIXXEAPOLIS IS AGAINST HIM. 3IIXXEAPOLIS IS AGAIXST HIM. if I'lintln (iiu Secure Hennepin fur • Trading- Purpot*es He Stand** a Show. Attorney General H. W. Childs is a Attorney General H. W. Childs ls a. candidate for a third term. He has '. not exactly shied his own castor. into the political ring*, but the announce- : ment of his candidacy is not nearly ex cathedra that it must be given all the credit of an original announce ment. It came up this way: There have been rumors afloat that Mr. Childs would not be a candidate for further honors, and in that view of the case Assistant Attorney General George B. Edgerton announced himself a candi date for the place. He has been swing ing around the circle at a more or less lively pace, and it Is now given out that he has found such a wide-spread sentiment in favor of Mr. Childs that he has concluded not to endeavor to defeat It, and he Issues a manifesto to the public in which, besides an nouncing his own withdrawal from the field, he declares that Mr. Childs is "disposed" to be a candidate for re nomination, "and may hereafter be so regarded." Edgerton's famous "strad dle" opinion on the legality of Wlldt's drawing three salaries, it has devel oped, has not been forgotten by the people who are anxious to show Sec retary Berg what they think of him. • • • Ex-Gov. A. R. McGill is evidently not averse to a little campaigning of the old sort In the present muddled condition of the Republican camp. Leastwise, there was • a meeting yes terday afternoon at the office of the Price-McGill company, where a num ber of the St, Peter governor's old guard gathered about the coal stove and talked over the situation as only those can whose hearts and hands have been knit close in the bonds of polit ical fraternalism. J. J. McCardy was there to give the party the benefit of his shrewd arithmetical genius, while Mark D. Flower was also prominent in the discussion. Sheriff Chapel was Invited, but, as the meeting was se cret, the Globe is unable to state whether or not he rested his feet on the McGilllan grate bar. * « « Speculation is rife as to whether or Speculation is rife as to whether or not Gov. Clough, In his candidacy for re-election, will be . able to carry his i own county. That he has a fight on is not denied, but it is urged by his friends that there is no excuse for hl3_ defeat there. Hennepin's devotion to the ambition of her favorite son Eustis is not unanimous, and the foundations of Speaker Van Sant's strength, out side of Grand Army circles, are not believed to be particularly deeply root ed. They hold, consequently, that If the governor does not come into the convention with the county of Henne | pin well In hand, he has no place bn the ticket. How strong the opposition to him will be when the caucuses come j is hard to tell, for the opposing forces I recognize that with the state patron- I age at his disposal, Mr. Clough will have a formidable force to throw into the primaries, and the rule of practice that now seems to Inspire the Min neapolis wheel horses is not to touch their fingers to the buzz saw until they ascertain its approximate velocity. Robert G. Evans, it is understood, does not feel that. Clough is the man for Minneapolis to nominate, and there is a large basis for assuming his friendly feeling for Van Sant, but Gov. Clough's friends are counting that Mr. Evans will exercise much discretion in his conduct prior to the election. John Day Smith, too, Is another Mm neapolis leader of more or less influ ence, which, through personal and Grand Army associations is expected to be thown to Van Sant, but the per- ennial candidate of the puritanical Eighth ward -is looked upon by the Clough people as afraid to declare war against the governor on his native heath. Both the governor and Secretary Bixby are spending much time in the Mill city these days, and they are I making a close inspection of the field there, for that is the arena on which the critical engagement of the state campaign . of 1896 it to be waged and won. Capt. Van Sant was over Thurs- day night looking after the wandering sheep, perchance, while the fire king, of course, is on the ground all the time. How strong the governor and ! Tarns are going to _ make their play i in the primaries remains to be seen, but that they will try to secure a posi tively instructed delegation from Hen- nepin seems unlikely at this stage. There are too many districts over there where such a move would arouse feel- ing that could not be hidden, and the leaven of unrest, once stirred, might spread too far for the safety of the Clough crown jewels. However, the governor and Tarns and Manager Goodnow, of the base .ball team, are carefully placing their . friends, and if a majority ,of the delegation from Hennepin does not happen to be in- structed for Clough, it will not make so much difference If the . men are friendly to the governor. The floor of the convention will be a veritable wheat pit, from present indications, and much of the actual work of the campaign will undoubted- ly be accomplished' during the dalli ance of the credentials committee with its monotonous duties. ' Hennepin, with a tenth of the convention, can make its own trades, if it can* present a solid front on the governorship, and may, perhaps, ; fare better with hands free than if it " were instructed. .-.*.*■*: -AAiA'y ''-'.. The * association of S. IR. Van i Sant, William .H. Eustis and ... T. 'W. Hugo, i of Duluth, in the distribution of car- nival .honors has suggested -to. some that Mr. .

It Is expected that the ap pointment, will be made in a short time j now, but there, are so many candidates j ln the field that It Is largely a matter of j conjecture who Is going to secure the position. It is seldom there are so many men after one position, all of 'whom have a fair share of backing and all of : whom are considered good men for the place. It makes it more difficult in one particular than if it were a question of . selecting between two men. The result may be that the appointment will not be made as soon as it otherwise would. | It Is not believed that the naming of I any of the men urged for the place j would meet with the opposition of Sena j tor Davis, and, if not, the man named would speedily be confirmed. On the other hand, if a name were sent in dis- pleasing to any member of the Repub lican senate, the nomination would probably be hung up and Capt. Castle would continue in his present position for some time to come. The visit of W. P. Murray to Wash- ington, which is supposed to be primar ily for the purpose of presenting his claims to recognition, although it has been reported that he is also looking after some private business, may be • taken as meaning either one of two things. It is taking him a long while to reach the president's ear or he is going to stay until he has practical as- surance that he will or will not receive the appointment. Mr. Murray's career as a worker for the party, is regarded in itself as pretty good backing for the position. Still, there are others. i William Lee is basing his hopes on | the influence that J. J. Hill has with President Cleveland. It is understood I that only recently Mr. Hill emphasized his preference for the ex-postmaster, i who has a record of already serving in ! the position with credit and satisfaction. Ansel Oppenheim, while in Europe just now, is understood to have strength back of his desire for the place. In- formation received from Mr. Murray at Washington, is to the effect that Mich ael Doran has indorsed Mr. Oppen- heim and. will personally urge his ap pointment before returning from the East, where he has now gone. A gen- tleman who is supposed to know some- thing about Mr. Doran's preference ; said yesterday, that he would bet $100 to $1, that Doran. had not Indorsed Mr. Opnpehelm and that he would not in- dorse him. Asked who Mr. Doran would probably favor, he said he did not know, but. he felt sure that It was not Mr. Oppenheim. Assemblyman *Stt*'ouse Is being, urged, It is understood, by the local ..party men, his colleagues and others, and the German-American Democratic clubs are all on record 'as wanting John S. Grode. John M. Gilman Is understood to be the candidate of C. D. O'Brien and. others, but.it, was reported a day or two ago, that 'Mr. Gilman has de- clared he did not want the position. If this be true; it Is not known to whom the support, he would have re- ceived will be thrown. So that it will be seen that every. man whose.name is mentioned In connection with the posi tion has good backing and pretty plenty of it. 'p , The latest name, mentioned. in con- nection with the position is that of ex- Alderman Petsch. It is said that he la the dark horse In the race. The same gentleman who said that Mr. Doran had not • Indorsed , Mr. Oppenheim re- marked yesterday, "Petsch was a can- didate, but has withdrawn from the contest." :l:,-Pi" -iAy. 11 FORT RIDtiLEY MOSUMEXT. •: Jndgre Flandrau Receives Some Sag:- g-estlont- Aboat Xumes. Judge C. E. Flandrau, chairman of the Fort Ridgeley monument commis sion, reports the plans for the monu i ment to be about completed, and the ! contract and specifications ready for the builder's signature. The final ar rangements, however, will be made with the greatest care and precision, In order that there be no wrong inscriptions or i improperly spelled names placed upon the shaft. The commission, since the publication of the list In last Sunday's Globe, has received a number of let- ters, suggesting additions to the list of names, which should probably be placed on the roster; also, correcting the spell ! ing of some of the names entitled to be - inscribed upon the memorial. Col. Flan- J drau said yesterday that all the Infor j mation which has been received will be accorded the most careful consideration, ' in order that the possibility of mistakes j may be reduced to a minimum, and j thus avoid having to make corrections ; after the monument has been put in place. 7",-. -7;*; FAVORS SMALL FARMS, Charles Loat-kK Han in it lied Over Many Adversities. . -r, iy.-.-: * ■ * .* r *:-":' Among the* visitors to the publicity and promotion department of the Great Northern road -: yesterday was Charles H.

Mr. Folsom, who has taken much in- terest in matters pertaining to the edu- cation of deaf and dumb people, ex- plains that there. are many obstacles in the pathway to' ja" business career for persons who can neither hear nor speak. Mr. ? Loucks, although thus af flicted, proved himself possessed of more than average ability and has by energetic effort progressed further than falls to the lot of most mutes. 7 • From caring for cows while living in Sioux Falls, he became interested in | dairying, and when" he graduated from the state j institution, sought employ- ment in a number of creameries with various success., .

Another cf the odd year clerk of court term cases is up for settlement, this time in the supreme court. John i C. O'Leary was the clerk of the Wright j county court for the term expiring Jan. j 6, but as there was no election last fall, he was of the opinion that he would hold until his successor was elected and qualified, which. in the natural course of human events, would not be until next January. The judges of the court, who, by the way, are none of them residents of Wright county, but live in Minneapolis, appointed •C. H. Vorselto take Mr. O'Leary's place. ] O'Leary refused to give up the office | and records, and Senator Culkin, who i is Verse's council, yesterday applied to ! the district court for a writ requiring i O'Leary to appear on the 17th inst. and show by what right he continues to exercise the powers and duties of the clerk of the court.

Melrose became angry, and usd some big words j that caused Regan to demand that he be • arrested, but the officer did not think he. was a fit subject for official recognizance.
