Important Developments Concerning Tax
Duplicates-Mrs. Mellet Ilrlngs Suit
to Havo Her Namo Stricken l'rom
a Bond -Delay In the First
Ward Creek Matter.
A regular meeting of the Iiorough Council
was held last night with tho following mem
bers iu attendanco : Messrs. Mcduirc, Coak
toy. Murphy, Straughn, lioclim, Shoemaker,
Nclswctider, Magarglo, Harklus, Hell, I.ally,
Hand, James, Englcrtand lireunau.
Mr. T. J. Higglus, as out of the bondsmen
on Tax Collector Scanlan's duplicato of lS'.U,
asked that the bond be marked satisfied on
record, as tho duplicato has been settled.
Mr. Hlgglns also asked that Council do
something to provent surface water from
flowing upon proporty on North White
street, in which ho is Interested. The latter
subject was referred to the survey committee
to ascertain tlio proper grade of tlio street.
lho Chief iturgess asked that Council place
grado stones on West Lloyd street and that
the street committee view Catherine street.
Ho has notified property owneis on the Iattor
street to put in gutters, but It has been dis
covered that the street has not been tilled ac
cording to the grade stone at tho corner of
Oak and Catherino itrcets. Ho also asked
that West Mayberry alley bo given a grade,
or sonio suitable drainage bo provided. Tho
matters wero referred to tho streetaud survey
committees.
The Chief Ilurgess and Hoalth Ofllcer were
instructed to put Iu necessary pipes on West
Centra street and proceed to havo the much-
talked-or nulsanco in tho Fifth ward abated.
i no attention ol tlio street committee was
callod to ii culvert under tho Pennsylvania
liailroad bridge, which makes driving thero
dangerous.
Tho committco reported that it put in sov
cral traps, in accordance with instructions of
Council, at a cost of f20 each. Tho committee
asked for.an extra appropriation, as its funds
are exhausted. I heir appropriations was
was increased $1,000, taken from incidentals.
President Mctluiro stated that bo had been
notified to put a pavement in front of his
property on West Lino street. Ho said he
was willing to have the work done, but there
iro no crossings or guttors thero and as soon
as tho borough does its work ho will do his.
It was decided that the street committee have
tho crossings and gutters put iu
The elcaniug of tho First ward creek was
again taken up and bids for tho work wero
road. Jessolt. Davis bid fl,)50 and P. J.
Clcary $1,350.
It will bo remembered that tho P. & li
C. li I. Co. figured that the work could be
done for from $500 to (100, and that company
and tho Thomas Coal Company agreed to
pay ouo third of that oxpense.
Mr. Iiieiswentor moved that the street
committco bo instructed to givo tho contract
to the lowest bidder. This motion was de
feated on account of tho excess of the bill
over the estimate made by tho companies.
It was then moved that tlio mattor bo re
ferred back to tho P. & It. C. & I. Co. with a
lequcst that the compauy do the work and
tho assurai:co that the borough will pav its
pro rata share of tho estimato of fOOO.
This motion was withdrawn and Mr.
Magarclo moved that the two companies be
asked if they will each pay one-third of tho
lowest bid. If so, Council will award tho
contract and pay tho other third. If not,
that tlio companies proceed to do tho work
on their fUOO basis and Council will pay its
pro rata Bharo. In caso tho borough is
authorized to award the contract, the con
tractor will be required to furnish a bond for
double tho amount of tho bid. This motion
was carried.
Tho finance committee presented Tax
Collector llurke's exonerations for 1S07 and
they wore referred to tho Councilman of the
respoctivo wards, as well as Mr. Scanlan's
additional exoneration lists. Mr. Ilurko
promised to pay liCKJ into the borough
treasury to-day.

Tho request of Mr. Higglus to havo tho
tax bond of 1801 cancelled of record was
taken up and a motion mado that tho roquet
bo granted.
Tho motion was opposed ou tho ground
that thero was a legal technicality involved,
inasmuch us tho bondsmen ou Mr. Scan
lan's other bonds had raised the point that
Mr. Scanlan had used collections mado on
tlio 1805 and 180(1 tax duplicates in settling
tho 1801 duplicato, and that, therefore, they
would ask to bo exempted from liability to
the amount that had boon so appliod. Tho
members opposing the motion claimed that
tho 1801 boud should not bo cancelled until
tho borough's position in tho matter is defin
itely settled.
Finally it was decided that the question Iks
laid on tho table until Council can tako more
intelligent action ou it.
Tlio finance committco submitted tho fol
lowing opinion by Iiorough Solicitor Ilurko,
and it was tiled :

Washington, Oct. 7. Up to midnight
there had been no Information received
by the department olllclals from Gen
eral Bacon. During- the evening;, how
ever, the department received from Ad
jutant General Sturgls, now at St.
Paul, the following telegram giving a
summary of conditions us far as that
ofllcer was uljlc to obtain them:
"In answer to a telegram to the
United States marshal at Walker,
Minn., I have received a reply giving
the location of General Hacon on the
mainland, at the southwest corner of
Leech lake, and saying: 'Commenced
lighting at 11:30 yesterday. Tho In
dians seem to have the best position.
Not moving. Major Wilkinson, live
soldiers and two Indian police killed
awaiting reinforcements.'
"Press dispatches and private West
ern Union dispatches seem to Bupport
these statements about the killed. Re
lnforeements doubtless reached the
command this evening. Itelfable In
formation Indicates that the Indians
are quiet In vicinity of Engineer Dams,
to tho northeast. There bus been no re
port yet from General Hacon. There Is
only one ofllcer. Captain Gerlach, for
duty at Fort Snelllng, and 150 men. We
apprehend no need of further reinforce
ments, unless to send to the vicinity
of Leech lake dam to cut oft the escape
of the Indians. I would suggest that
authority be given to utilize one bat
talion of the Minnesota volunteers In
case of need. Reports have Just been
received of the arrival of Colonel Ilor
baeh's command at Walker, about 4
o'clock."
The request to use a battalion of the
Minnesota volunteers was promptly
granted, and the department com
mander can havo his pick from either
the Twelfth or Fourteenth state regi
ments. One Is nt New Ulm and the
other at St. Paul, awaiting their mus
ter out. General Corhln feels that there
will not be any necessity to use the men
of these regiments, however, as the reg
ulars will be sufficient for all purposes.
During the evening Secretary Bliss
received the following telegram from
Inspector Tinker, at Walker, which In
dicates that reinforcements have reach
ed Walker, which Is 30 miles or less
from the scene of tho fighting:
"Two hundred and fifteen oflicors and
men have Just nrrlved with one Gatllng
gun. Have hoard nothing from the
battleground since morning. Two boats
left to go to General Bacon's assistance
and have not returned. Will wire full
particulars later."
The secretary feels gratified at the
conciliatory attltudo of the Indians sur
rounding the Pillagers. In this connec
tion he last night made public the fol
lowing telegram from Chief Land Ex
aminer W. B. Sellye, now at Duluth:
"Have Just come from the Held near
Cass lake and Wlnnebngnshlsh lake.
The Indians are till quiet there. Shall
return to the Meld today. Do not an
ticipate nny trouble outside of the Pil
lagers. There has been some shooting
between them and tho soldiers. All
other Indians will keep hands -off, I be
lieve."
The following telegram was received
by President McKlnley Wednesday
evening, signed hy the editors of the
Minneapolis newspapers:
"Advices from conservative sources
lead lis to bellovo that a forco of not
less than 600 soldiers, preferably 800,
should be at once avallablo .at Leech
Lake and vicinity. Wo believe such
a force needed, not only to rescue Gen
eral Bacon and the survivors of his
command, but properly to overawe the
agency Indians, in whose professions
of friendship and neutrality no one ac
quainted with them puts credence, A
general outbreak at or around Walker
would probably result In the massacre
ot mnny citizens. Iu a country as
heavily wooded tho present force is, In
our Judgment, wholly Inadequate. The
gravity of tho situation Is not over
estimated In the above suggestions."
The above telegram was tho subject
of a conference at tho White House
last evening between the president,
Secretary Alger and Adjutant General
Corbln. It resulted In the president
giving Instructions that ample rein
forcements be sent General Bacon at
once. It Is understood that orders in
accordance with these instructions
were sont to St. Paul last night.

Walker, Minn., Oct. 7. Indian Agent
Sutherland, who was with General
Bacon at Sugar Point, gives the Tol

Indians up to the tlnin of his leaving
for supplies. When the arrest ot the
two fugitives had been accomplished
the Indians, . with a profession ot
friendship, showed the soldiers their
tepees and called attention to their
neatness, all the time tstatlng, "Me good
Indian."
General Bacon, who has great ex
perience with the Sioux and other sav
ages, did not take much stock in these
professions of friendship, and ordered
a party of his own company to search
the adjoining timber for any lurking
savages, but none were to be seen.
