condemned to look alike or to be look
ed at strangely. That early part of
the evening when everybody was J-'-
ing looked at or looking was the most
enjoyable to many of th"?e present.
Before the regular dance programme
the Minnnesota state band orchestra
played a numl^r of airs calculated t>/
promote the feeling of good fellowship.
The occaFlon was- the first on which
another orchestra than the Third in
fantry had been present when the
charity bali was to be played for, and
the playing of the state band was al
together agreeable.
It was nearly 10 o'clock when Di- i
rector Selling raised his baton and led i
the band into the measure of the i
"Garde dv Corps." The crowd on the
Hoe* had been waiting for the signal, j
and in an istant more than 100 couples :
w^re engaged in picking out room for
a two-step. At that time n.ost of the
social leaders were present, and the
boxes were full. The younger men and
women of the dancing had taken no
chances and were already on the
floor, but out of the bexea there look
ed down on the assemblage a good
many of the leaders of society. In Box
A there were, besides ilr. and Mrs. D.
C. Sheperd, the Misses Bend and Mi.

A PATRIOTIC SURPRISE.
The dance programme was brought
ur to date in the matter of music and
was balanced in a manner that left
i nothing to be desired but more dances
j The floor committee had prepared a
! amuli that added something to the
spirit of the occasion by the explosion
Of some fireworks that were totally
unexpected. The surprise was left un
til Just before suppt-r. The n.nth dance
was a two-step to the music of the
"Stars and Stripes. "' Just as the dan
cers were beginning to feel that the
dance about over there wa» a pis- ;
tol shot, and numerous small rolls
which had been snugly tied to the
■ fretwork In the ceiling unfolded them
selves and displayed the national col
or* in many shapes. The band chang
ed the tune to "The t-tir-SpAn^led Ban
ner" as the bunting floated down orei
the gaily dressed assemblage, and

PARTICULARS ARE LACKING
Report FtrM Received in Madrid
Saturday, \* as iJohirqnrnth De
nied i hough the Word in it of
the Madrid Dispatch la Indefinite.
Gen. Riot PiolialiW Died Flght
lnK lniarsFut*.
MADRID, Nov. 23.— News has Just
been received here that Gen. Rios, gov
ernor of the Ytsayas islands, ha* been
HIM by the Tagalos at Hollo.
Recent dispatches have stated that
the Spaniards In lloilo were hard press
ed by Tagal invaders from Luzon and
native rebels. Last Saturday it was
stated that the Spanish garrison of j
llviio had surrendered to the insur- , :
gents, and that foreign residents w*re
taking refuge on the American cruK^r
Charleston.
The report of the fall of II oil o was
denied on Monday, and the Madrid
papers said Gen. Rios had telegraphed j
that he had severely defeated the ad
vance lines of the insurgents, who were
fortifjing the shore against an unex
pected attack bf the Spaniards at
lioilo and had sho>t twenty-five cap
tured rebels and condemned sixty-nine
others to hard labor.
Gen. Rlo«, at the opening- of the war
with Spain, was governor of the Vl
tayap. or Central Philippine Inlands,
and stationed at Iloilo, capital of the
island of Pa nay ar,d the chief port of ;
that region. Gov. Gen. Augu#ti was re- j
lleved from command at Manila shortly
before the city was captured by the ;
ftimrlcin and fled on a German cruis- '
er on Aug. 13. the day Manila fell,
leaving Gen. Jaudene* to sign the ca- j
pitulation. Gen. Rios tlhue became Uie ;
chief representative of the falling Span- i
ish pnwer ta the Philippines, and waa
even dignified with the title of governor
general.
Gen. Rios, although several hundred
mlief from Manila and protected from '
American attack by the term* of the
armistice acreed upon in the peace pro
tocol, soon began to have trouble* of
his own. The native insurgents tram
Luzon Invaded Paney, and the people
of that island and of Xegros rose in
rebellion.
The wording of the Madrid dispatch
leave* It uncertain whether Rios. If he
is dead, was killed in battle, executed
or assassinated. The dispatch mates
that he was "killed by the TagaJos."
The Tagalos. or Tagals, are tine prin
cipal Malay tribe of Luzon, to which
Aguir.aJdo and other leading insurgents
l*long. If the Spaniards in I)o41o have
surrendered to the Insurgents, ft is
I quite possible that Rios has fallen a
; victim to the wrath of the invading
i Tagals from Luaon. But, if Mondays
j story from Madrid be true, that ti»
j Spaniards w^re siiil holding o\n, then
j Rios has probably fallen in battle with
the insurgent besiegers of lloilo.

DITLUTH, Minn., Xov. 23 —(Special.)
—The tug Castle arrived here tonight
from Beaver hay with the crew of the
Tampa on board. The Castle also lo
; cated the steel barge Arthur Orr, of
j Chicago, belonging to C. w! Bpbicfcs
& Co., of Chicago, ashore at Ba,ptißm
river, nine mijes on the other side o*
Beaver bay. T*he Orr was bound down
from Duluth to Buffalo with 500 tons
• of copper and 2,200 barrels of flour. She
; went ashore in the darkness on Tuee
&&f morning. Both vessels are broken
In two. Some of the Orrs cargo can
be. saved if too much bad weather does
not occur. The crew of the Orr re
mained on the vessel. They are in no
danger, as the boat is high and dry
and the men can sleep on shore at
pleasure. Capt. John Leonard was
master of the Tampa, and Capt. Orvllle
j Green, of the Orr.
In the storm of Monday the Tampa
headed for the n rih shore for protec
tion. The snow Mew so fiercely, driv
en by a sixty-mile gale, that nothing
could be seen, and the »hip brought
, up on the rocks that line the coast for
many miles. The shock of going
ashore was so eevere and the stcrm
so intense that the ship broke in two
and the crew with great difficulty got
i ashore.
The Tampa was a wooden ship and
of the highest claseiflcati 'n, rating Al,
and valued at $100,000. She was owned
by David Whitney, of Detroit. Mich.,
end fully insured, both hull and cargv.
The cargo of the Tampa was
tons <>f coal from Krie f t r the Great
Northern railway. The two vessels
represent a value of about 1450,000.

254 Sherburne ever me, ye*terdiay con
cluded a law suit and a series of rue
getiatione -which he was coro-pellsd to
cari-y on in ord~r to force from Thomas
P. Ccnr^y, deik of the nvunic pal court,
$1,000, which Ccmroy, tn his ofliciaJ oa
pacity as clerk, had unlawfully retain
ed since Feto. 14, 1898. It v><aa no easy
matter for Mr. Wallace to s?cure the
return of bis money and, as he a; a: eel
laet cvtnmg. It cost him considerable
time, trouble, annoyance and expense
to secure the $1,000 which phevu^d hwe
been handed ov-^r to him nearly ten
modhE a«o.
"I do i>ot care to discuss the matter"
Bald Mr. Wallace last -evening. "I have

know that the action of Ctxnroy in no-t

"I have nothing personally against
Conroy. but he is a city official, paid
a good salary to attend to the duties
of hie office, and something should be
done by the officials or the law which
would make it possible for money
paid to an official of the court to be
returned to the person depositing It
when the Judges of the court order,
and without waiting ten months or
forcing the return with a law suit."
The statement made by Mr. Wal
lace regarding the retention of the
$1,000 by Clerk Conroy and his efforts
for the past ten months to force the
clerk of the muni-cipal court to return
the amount are fully born out by the
record* of the district court.
Sept. 11. 18&7. Robert Wallace, a eon
of Louis Wallace, was arrested and
arraigned in the police court on a war
rant issued on complaint of Freeman
P. Strong, charging him with grand
larceny In the s€-cond degree. The de
fendant was duly arraigned, entered
a plea of not guilty and the prelimina
ry examination was continued to Sept,
27, on motion of the county attorney.
One of the Judges of the municipal
court fixed the bail at $1,000. and, in
lieu of a bond or recognizance, $1,000 in
ca^h was offered as bail for the ap
pearance of the defendant in court
Sept. 27. This was accepted by the
court and ordered paid to Thomas F.
Conroy, the clerk of the court.
The money being paid over to Con
roy as clerk of the court, the defend
ant was ordered discharged from the
custody of the sheriff and ordered to
appear for examination Sept. 27.
After this date the preliminary hear
ing was continued from time to time
until Feb. 14, 1898, on which date, on
motion of the county attorney, the
case in the municipal court against
Robert Wallace was dismissed and
the Judge of the municipal court or
dered Clerk Conroy to return to Louis
Walia.ce the $1,000 which had been de
posited as baii for the appearance of ■
Robert Wallace.
CONRQY WOULDN'T GIVE UP.
Instead of handing over the $1,000,
Conroy made a part payment and ten
dered $145 on account. Mr. Wallace
objected to the installment plan of re
ceiving; his money, hut his protests ap
parently had little if any weight.
Between Feb. 14 and April 16 Con
roy paid to Dlckson & Donnelly, who
were retained by Mr. Wallace, sums
aggregating $355, which brought the
total amount paid on account of the
$1,000 up to $500. Here the payments
made by Conroj- ceased, and, despite
promises to settle up the balance,
neither Mr. Wallace nor his attorneys
were aWe to secure any part of the re
maining $500. On May 9 application
was made to Judge Bonn, of the dis
trict court, for an order permitting
Louis Wallace to commence an action
in the court against Thomas F. Con
roy and his bondsmen. Timothy Rear-

don and P. O'Halloran, in order to re
cover the $500 due.
Upon reading the petition, in which
the facts above stated were set forth',
Judge Bunn issued an order permit
ting an action to be brought against
Conroy and his official bond.-/ en,
Timothy Reardon and P. O'Halloran.
The 'bond given to the city of St.
Paul by Conroy, May 21. 1895, when he
entered upon the duties of his offic«
as clerk of the municipal court, was
in the sum of $6,Q00, signed by Timothy
Reardon and P. OHaltoran as sureties,
and read* as follows:
Now. therefore, if Thomas F. ConroS- sfoail
well and truly account and pay over to th«
treasurer of raid city on each day a 1 fllnes,
penalties, fees and other moneys which may
have come Into his hands during raid Cay, ud
will at all times pay over to all persajns ou
demand all maney which they m«y be en
titled to which may have oome into his
hands In Tirtue or by reason of his office,
then this obligation tihall be void.
The summons and complaint in the
action against Conroy and his bonds
men were filed in the district court
Oct. 27, and copies of the same were
duly Berved on the three defendants.
GAVE A USELESS CHECK.
In the meantime Conroy had paid to
the attorneys in the case for Wallace
$100 of the $500 due, and on Oct. lt»
h8 handed to the attorneys a fheck
drawn on the Scandinavian-American
bank for $400, in full settlement of the
claim against him by Wallace. This
check, when presented to the institu
tion on which It was drawn, was mark
ed by the cashier "N. S. F.," which in
banking parlance means "not sufficient
funds." Investigation by one of the
attorneys retained by Wallace reveal
ed that on the date when Conroy drew
the check he would, in order to have
the paper honored at the bank, have
had to deposit just $3SM), and in view
of this sum not being deposited th«
cashier was forced to mark the check
as above stated. In other words, Con
roy had on deposit In the bank $10
when he drew his check for $4.>0.
The filing of the summons and com
plaint in the district court was not
made public, probably being over! ik
ed in the rush of business, but on the
November term calendar of the court
the index refers to the case as
"WALLACE VS. OONROGRABBR."
The twenty days having aft
er the complaint was served on the de
fendants, and neither Conroy nor one
of his bondsmen, Timothy Reardon,
having answered. application was
made for Judgment in default, and on
Nov. n judgment was ordered and
docketed against Conroy and Timothy
Reardon for $513.75 each. The other
bondsman, P. O'Halloran, made an
swer to t?le suit, and the rase as to
him was continued to Nov. I§, and on
that date again to Nov. 23.
Nov. 19, a week after judgment had
been entered by default againßt Con
roy and Reardon, the attorneys for
Wallace received from Conroy $200,
and yesterday afternoon the final $200
of the $1,000 due and payable Feb. 14
last was handed over by Conroy.
The case when called in the court
yesterday afternoon was, on motion of
the attorneys for Wallace, dismissed.
The Judgments docketed against c<>ii
roy and Reardon. however, will stand
until the costs of the action have been
settled by Conroy, the final payment
made by him yesterday simply squar
ing up the $1,000 and making no pro
vision for the court costs in the case.
NOT CONROY 1 S FIRST.
The legal bout Mr. Wallace has gone
through with in order to secure a re
turn of bail money deposited with the
clerk of the municipal court is noth
ing new to Clerk Conroy. He haf been
there before, and one of the cases on
record in which he played a star part
and was finally compelled to settle by
paying back $200, happened just two
years ago. Dec. 28, 1836, Leon Michaels
and Humphrey Michaels were arrest
ed and arraigned in the police court
charged *vith a misdemeanor. The
case was continued, and Leon Mi
chaels, in the absence of bondsmen,
put up $200 i.T cash for the appearance
of himself aud brothe» in court Jan.
9. The money was handed to Clerk
Conroy, and the defendants released
from custody.
Jan. 9, 1897, the defendants appeared
in court and aft* r a trial were dis
charged. The court ordered the clerk
to pay over to Leon Michaels the $200
which had been deposited as ball.
Michaels was ready and wi!l.n« to
get back Ms morey. but there was :omj
delay on the part of Clerk Ccnroy, and
it waj not ur.tii Jan. 13, that Conroy
hiicided Mithaels a chieck on the Min
