in 18S7, which Col. King answered, say
ing that the time checks were fraudu- i
lent. Another ) -tter was from Maj.
Sears, written in February of this y.-ar,
who made inquiry on behalf of a Dv
i luth banker, who proposed to mv* =t.
j The major was informed that there j
were no checks out thtit were not
fraudulent
The witness was very calm, very j
and answered in a most convinc
ing way. He amplified every categori
cal answ-r and his manner and lan
! guage left no sort of doubt as to what
he meant.
"Do you mean to tell us that your
office had no knowledge of this time
' heck business prior to your coming 1
to St. Paul?"
- I do not."
'When did you have su«~h knowledge
"Well, we had some suspicion of
something wrong in November, 189 C.
' We found lat^r that the Information
was based only on suspicion, which i
proved to \in correct."
"Did you make any arrangement
when you wf-re here in April. 1897, to
allow Southali to retain a desk in the
..merit office-?"
"Well, I beHeve that some arrange
ment was made so that we could have
SouthaU in H.^ht and under our con- I
trol, as we desired to see these obliga
tion: taken up."
"How long did be stay in the office?"
"About five months."
"Why did be leave then?"

absence by Southali.
• 'How would Southali sign the checks
he drew in your absence 0 "
"Sometimes he would sign his name
and sometimes mine, adding the in
itial S."
X.v, you saw Mr. Emmons wits
Southali frequently?"
"Yes."
"You kne-w some of the parties hold

"I did. through Southali."
"Would it not have been the proper
course to have notified the people deal
ing in these checks of their nature?"
LOOKED DIFFERENT THEX.
"As I look at it now, yes: but we
looked at It differently then."
"Why did not the government offi
cials save the dupes of Southali?" was
the trend of all this inquiry, and Mr.
n got this firmly fixed in the
minds of the jurors. H. F. Stevens,
who was sitting behind Mr. Anderson,
touched him on the shoulder and made
a suggestion about the record. Mr. An
derson fixed that, and the witness was
allowed to go.
Mr. Emmons was recalled and asked
if he had disposed of some of the time
checks bought by him to W. W. Cut
ler. He said he had and that he
Mr. Cutler had them still.
n Mr. Cutler was called, a hlgh
browed young man, who said he was
in the : How & Butler for some
time past. Hr was asked If his father
had accepted as collateral some of the
ks to secure loans made to
Bnunons. He recalled that in Febru
he was present at a omver
i betwe. n Messrs. How, Butler,
Southall and himself.

LEY'S DEATH
DON'T KNOW WHO IT WAS
Running Down laelPM Clues, but
. Are Inaliie to Learn Anything:
About the Man Who Delivered
the Blott, Although the Pool
Room Wai Pilled With People at
the Time o* the Occurrence.
The identity of the assailant of John
Shanley. who was killed In Leslie &
Hanson's saloon. 439-441 Jackson street,
Tuesday evening, is still a mystery.
The efforts of twenty-four hours on
j the part of the police force has pro
duced absolutely no tangible clue to
the young man with the black mus
tache. On the contrary, the authori
ties, are more in the dark than on the
night of the crime. As the search for
the young man progresses, he is differ
ently described by various people, un
til no two men on the police force have
the same Idea of what Shanley's as
sailant looks lik.-. All scree, how i
that he wore a pawn. iit.tr brakeman'a
uniform and waa a young man with
sort of a rnu?-iu<he.
JJc-tective Weils visited all of the
railroad offices yesterday with as near
ly correct a description of the youac
fellow as could be secured, but on non.;
of tlv- roads could he find that EUvh a
r«-n*jn was employed. Inquiry among
the railroad rat-n in the different yarda
also failed to devefa i> any information
that would lead to the arrest of the
man wanted. In fact, so many differ
the young fellow's de
scription 1-ad the police to believ-.' that
an effort la being made to shield the
man who struck Shanley. No one can
be found who will admit knowing the
young man, though half a dozen peo
pU who were in the saloon say they
had seen h'lm besore, but, wh-n it
somes to telling where, or what his
nam.; is. their memories fail them.
FOLLOWING FALSE CLUES.
Shortly after Shanley was hurt the
police got an Idea that James Roae,
■opposed to be ajbrafcenaan on the St.
Paul & Duluth road, was responsible
for his death. Detectives and patrol
ru. n were lnstfuctf-i] t*> hunt up such a
jK-rson. The dHret-tory does not contain
:*ame of a Jam. s Rose, a brake
n:an, and thia fact led to the discon
tinuation of th-- search for 8-uch a
person.
From Borne dhter source the police
rfnattoa that sent Detec

DEATH FROM THE FA1.1..

Nelson say th«t Shanley's death re

thai, the blow which knocked him
down. Dr. Srhweyzer says there was
no Indication Of Shanley having been
k with any kind of a weapon.
In fact there was nothing to show even

landed. This in bat natural. I>r.

WHEN THAT ROAD WAS BUILT
There Were Eight Hundred Feet
Available Between tlie Elevators
and Rice's Point Additional
Testimony Taken ia the Land
Grant Hearing Before Special
Commissioner Farrtng-ton.
The taking of testimony In the Du
luth & Iron Range railroad land grant
case before Special Commissioner A. A.
Farrington, representing the United
States court, which was adjourned
from last Saturday, was resumed yes
terday morning at the office of Davis,
Kellotrsr & Severance. The morning
session was devoted to the Introduc
tion of testimony on the part of the
state in regard to the cost of the
bridges and culverts on the line sur
veyed on behalf of the state between
Duluth and the northeast corner of
township 60. section 12. and which, the
state contends, should have been fol
lowed by the Duluth & Iron Range in
the construction of the road, as being
the most feasible and shortest route
between the terminals as named in the
land grant to the road.
During the afternoon C. R. Stone,
who assisted in the state's survey, was
given a long Inning in regard to the
grading and character of the proposed
Short line, and when he was permitted
to withdraw, on account of exhaustion,
the engineer who, on behalf of the
state, had figured on ore docks at th»
Duluth terminal to the rout* surveyed
by the state, was taken in hand by
Attorney Frank Kellogg, representing
the road, in an endeavor to show that
at the time the Duluth & Iron Range
road was built there was no land in
Duluth harbor available for ore dock
purposes.
J. H. Armstrong, who has been In
charge of the state's nurvey. was the
first witness placed on the stand when
the hearing opened. He continued his
testimony regarding the feasibility of
constructing a rond along the route
proposed and submitted a detailed esti
mate on the clearing, grading and
bridging on the line suggested by the
state with an aggregate estimate of
$321,440.
VAXiUE OF LUMBRR.
C. A. Duncan, a Duluth lumberman,
testified on behalf of the state as to
the value of the lumber required In
Mr. Armstrong's estimates to construct
the road. He was armed with figures
and memoranda giving the values in
IRsl. ISS3 and ISS6. and made compar
isons with present prices that showed
the former prices to have been slightly
higher than the latter. At the con
clusion of Mr. Duncan's testimony a
recess was taken until 2 p. m.
When the hearing was resumed, C.
R. Stone, who was associated with J.
H. Armstrong In making the survey
for the state, was called to testify in
lil to the genera! character and
availability of the proposed route. The
line surveyed was something over sev
enty miles long and in the plats and
profiles this had been divided into « ■•
tion-- .»f 100 feet each ;u,.i the entire
line was gr.ne over in detail by sec
ttons. it was slow and monotonous,
as the questions were decidedly ex
plicit and the witness was compelled
to pause frequently to consult the
transit Looks and plats. He enumer
ated. In !■ • the questioning or
Attorney (»oneral Childs, all those
T>l*i<eß on the route surveyed by the
which he deemed mirtVlently
Suspicious to need further examination.
In regard to the swamps enoouatered
h- felt that there was nothing insur
mountable or that was not susceptible
to drainage.
"As to all the places you have deslg
i would you desire to make a
further Investigation before building
the road?** asked Attorney General
ChiM*.

with a rod," responded the witness.
"Are these p!ac"s you hnve testified
Ing examined places that you re
d .'is suspicious?"
"That is the idea."
"Do you mean to say that all the
I y>u have named are suspi
cioui
"I could go over them all any way
cnlesa s further examination disclosed
that they might bo improved upon."
SWAMP AT IIUD LAKE.
The witness stated that at Mud lake
there was a piece of bad swamp, which
it was necessary to cross, between 300
or 400 feet in length. The depth waa
probably considerable, ns the swamp
Is a sort of arm of the lake. He had
' ut a hole to make a sounding, but
was unable to find bottom with the
a then at hand, consequently had
! that a short detour would lessen
the trouble and expense of crossing
the swamp.
'The increase in the length of the
y making the detour
you suggest would not be material
then?" suggested the attorney general.
"No, sir."
Another had pito^e on the route was
n Mat, where there waa
a deep swamp with a stream to l>«
ally. This, however, the
witness thought could be obviated by
a slight deviation from the line, al
though a bridge had been provided for
in the estimate
"You have testified to several places
along the line run by you where you
would desire to make further Investi
gations before building a road?" asked
Childs.
"Ye.«, sir."
"li > ■> Endeavor to inform your-
S'lf as to those places?"
"Yes, mi:
"As a former employe of the St. Paul
& Duluth road were the swamps great
er in extent or worse in character on
that road than on the line you have
sorve]
"Much greater."
The maximum grade „n the line run
by : he state was stated by the wil
. at going north from Du
i-uth to 60-12. with a maximum grade
of 1 per c*nt at the north end about
nine DkOes from the northeast corner
of 60-l_ ; . From that point south the
maximum grade was about .5 per cent.
"Are you prepared to say that It is
>le and practicable to construct a
railroad on the line surveyed by you?"
sir."
The witness had worked in North

the Omaha road In I**2 and stated ihat

torney Kello^tj.
"Yes, sir, and in 1897 it would have
coat approximately slightly less than
the figures 1 have given," was the re
ply.
The witness had figured the cost of
a 3r>o foot pile trestle approach at 12,800
with twenty-foot piles and a sixty-foot
docked, double-track bridge at the
west end of the long trestle at $3,200.
H« estimated that the approach from
the tracks to the docks would require
27,000 f^»'t of piling, costing approxl
niutely *27.

'No. sir."
"How many lineal fe<»t of ore docks

■I have never made a calculation."
Hera Mr. Kollogg after a consulta

road, produced a map of Duluth har

he was ank^d If there was room for
ore docks in 1<?87 east of Fifth avenue

"There does not appear to have
