"Why tlon't the papers get it right about the rocky renO being traveled by the police forceV" asked one of the men of the star order .yesterday. "Well , what Is the straight of it ? " "You scheme around and get it for yourself. You mustn't ask me anything about it. I can't tell you , or rather I iron't. " "Then you ought to be the last mane o kick if the newspaper accounts are n some respects incorrect. " "Oh , I don't kick. Say what you in the paper. " nd yet ho , and the others like him , are just the hardest kickers of all. They wll } neither toll the facts nor exercise charity to those who attempt to. to.The squabble thickens. MuyorKohror gave the force a sharp talking to Mon day night , but it seemed to do no good. He urged them to go riglit ahead at tending to their duties and keeping their mouths shut. Some of them grumbled sullenly about this. They thought that Chief Mullen had had his say in the papers , and now they were choked oil from giving the public their side of the affair. The warning of the mayor Boomed to have little cITect on of the force. Thcro was much stirring up of the old charges , all of yesterday. The songs have a good many varia tions , but there are in reality 'but two tunes. One is a "Won't go homo till morning. " The other is the one heard so frequently on the fair grounds , "Let 'or mil , let 'or roll. " To make it more plain , the causes of dissatisfaction with the chief cluster about the charge that lie has indulged too freely in that which cheers and intoxicates' , and the charge that he bus been induced to wink , at the shell games practiced on suckers during the races. The most direct charge made openly is made by J. J. Wright , a man" who was appointed as special policeman dur ing the races , and who declares that ho saw a man , whom he thought was one of the shell game workers , approach one of the policemen as though seeking permission to run the game. This policeman was heard to toll him that it couldn't bo done , and that if they tried it they would bo arrested. Soon after this Wright says bo paw the man and Chief Mullen in conversation , and that a bill of some kind , whether W or $10 he could not say , was passed into the chief's hatids. Soon after that the shell games started up and were allowed ta run. Wright claims that other olllcern have since said that they got orders from Chief Mullen to lot the shell game- ; alone. These two tunes Imvo been sung with apparent enjoyment by some , and with numerous variations. It is more than likely that the charges will bo put into some formal shape where they can bo cither proved or disproved. At present they are being stated in rather loud whispers. They have reached the cars of Chief Mullen and his friends , and the chief hotly says that any fellow making such u charge will have to prove it. In his calmer moods ho says the onlj money which ho received on the fair grounds was a bet which ho won on out of the races. At one time while he stood watching the finish of a heat , some ono came to him and told him shell game was running , and wanted him to put a stop to it. Ho waited a minute to see the race finished , and then went to stop the game , but the follows had pulled out. Wright , who claims to have been an eye witness to the paying of the money is frank to admit that he docs not like Chief Mullen. Ho says that ho scrvet seven days as special policeman , ant Million only put in his time as six days thereby wronging him out of a dny'i wages , a little over ? 2. Ho is particu larljr wroth ever this , because Muller was in no sense a gainer , the city belli j : only that much ahead. Ho declared then , and declares-now that lie will ge * even with Mullen. Ono member of the force , who seems t < bo a loader the charges against Mullen has prepared a list of questions whicl ho desires the chief to answer. If thej are formulated into direct charges am Hied with the proper authorities , in stead of with the newspapers , they wil probably got answered. The following are samples : "Why wore you off duty from the 2oi\ \ of November until the SOth ? " "What blackened your eye at tha time'/1' "Who was it that assisted you to gel to the bank corner ? " "Why did two of your policemen as slst you to your hotel late at night whei it was not slippery41" ! "Why did yon not stop the shol gnmcH on July 4 , 18o" , when you wen notified by some of your men that thoj wore playing ? " "Why did you tell some of your mot to let the shell men alone and go awa ; from thorni" ' "Why did they toll some of your moi that they had the privilege to run , a they had fixed the chief all right ? " It is not known whether the chief ha : got any catechism prepared. A fusiladi of sharp interrogations might \voum many. ' Money to loan. W. S. Cooper. Domestic , patterns at 103 Main at.

Mr. Shea , representing the syndicate owning the Pacific house property , stated that after many difficulties those of the shareowncrs who could not Join in a building enterprise had been bought out by those who wanted to build , though at a sacrifice to the buyers. The syndicate could now make n defi nite proposition to the board of trade or the citizens. The syndicate would put up a four story building for a bonus of $10.000 , or if the Sapp corner would bo donated , the syndicate would build on that also , the syndicate in that case to receive fcl.OOO and the lot , instead of the $10,000. The syndicate desired an an swer within ten days. The propositions wore discussed at length and referred to the committee on manufactures , to investigate and report at a later meeting.

HARNESS BROS. , 401 Broadway. OltjcclH to "Dad Debts. " William Galvin has given notice that ho is to commence suit against the Sprague collection agency and D. E. Gleason , for $5,000 damages. This col lection agency has a peculiar way ol forcibly punching up folks to pay theii bills. It is done largely by sending no tice after notice in envelopes bearing upon the front the words "bad debts" in quite prominent letters. Galvin re ceived a notice that he owed Glcason $ ; or $4. He says ho wentto Gleason and denied the justice of the account , say ing he had already settled it. Ho of fered to put up a bond of $100 and allow Gleason to sue him. The bond would secure the payment of the claim if n judgment could 'bo obtained , which he did not boliovo. After this another ol the obnoxious notices came to him. He now proposes to make the agency and the party holding the claim pay dam. ago.s , which ho places at $ o,000. The case is started in the superior court. .

"Tho gal's eyes has fell back into her empty nnto , ind the only way I can fish 'em back nto place again , s'fur as I can see , is by cutting the top of bead olT. " This blood curdling speech was ut tered by a man who has spent a large ) ortion'of his life among the Indians as i tribal member , and naturally a Granger , knowing only this fact about him , would look for some horrible exhi- iiition of Indian skill in dealing with luiman heads , when the speaker had lully prepared to carry his plan into execution. But there was no cause for alarm. It was only a doll'rt head that lie hold in his hand , and it was only a | ) air of glass eyes that had dropped out of their sockets and that ho was ex pected to get back into place again. More than this , there was a merry twinkle in his sharp black eyes as ho titter the remark , and from his bearing and volubility it was evident that his early lite among the Indians had not developed in him any of those savage traits which come to the red men by birthright. "This is my business , " ho remanked when he discovered that he had a caller ; "yes , I mend things , and sometimes I make things. There's nothing broken that 1 can't put back again into it * original form , and when I ain't got the material to do it I go to work and make the material. The harder and more delicate the job is the better I like it. " This man , it will be seen , fills a place in the world. His name is K. W. Pat ten. Mr. Patten ia "univer-'til genius1 with an exceedingly romantic carooi thrown in ; withal , a quaint and quite a remarkable ch'aracter one of ihoie per sons you sometimes read about but sel dom s'eo. The ohapiou mender is a man of fifty- live years , with the long hair and beard which geniuses are said to alTcct. There is a broad scar upon the left side of hit face and head und the hair refuse tc /row within its area. Thi * scar was. caused by the fire which the Indian" built on ono occasion when they at tempted to I'oa t him alive at. a , stake. In figure Mr. Patten is Konir > what rotund and.ipon the left wing of hit ample waistcoatIfb proudly displays the insignia of the Grand Army of the Re public. Ho canie" recently to St. Paul fioin Boston. As intimated the weather- beaten veteran W a mini with a roman tic history. I had him tell mo the story of his life. ' < He was born in Now York state and when only nine years ol age had a falling out with his mother : dug up his savings which ho had buried in the garden unTlcr a cherry , tree and made trades for the west. Eventually he landed at Chicago , which was thcn.ii small settlement , the headquarters ol fur traders. He stayed with a French trader , until one season Big John , the chief of the Wlnncbugo Indians , came along with some furs to sell , rcmaininp six weeks in the settlement. The big Indian tool ; a shine to the bright lad , and invited him to go homo with birr and live among the Winncbagocs as hit pappoose. The boy , after taking the advice of his friends went along witli the friendly Indian to his home which was near the present site of Dubuque. Ho became virtually n member of the tribe of Winncbagocs dwelling among them in their tepees and joining the braves on their huntinp and lighting expeditions. So charmed was he with this free life that he cried like a baby when ho thought the white soldiers were going to take him awaj ono timo. He siuy much of Indian war fare. Later in life , ho was associated with California Joe , Kit Carton and other famous characters as a scout , and among the border settlers in Kansasand Texas was known as "The Mississippi Ranger. During tliis period he saw much Indian fighting and experienced many hair-breadth escapes quite thrill ing indeed. For a while , about the time of the breaking out of the war. ho was in the northwest where he had dealings with the Sioux , who wore particular ! } belligerent and atrocious about thai period. "Thoy were , " says Mr. Patten "the worst acting critters that T ovci see , and they haven't changed much foi the better since. " It was while in the northwest , with headquarters at For ! Snclling. that the genius narrowly es. caped being roasted alive. California Joe , Kit Carson , four soldiers and him self wore out in the woods fishing foi speckled trout. A bmd ; of forty Siou > Indians came down upon the party sud. denly. "Carson and .Too ran for their horse ; and put out for the fort , " says the - Mississippi sissippi Ranger in relating this inav dent , "but the rest of us , seeing m chance for escape , throw up our handi and surrendered. The Indians tied us on our horses and rode with us as fast a ; they could for Smoky Hill , whore thej had left their squaws and pappooses After keeping us in camp two days the.\ \ drove stakes into the ground and hai the squaws pile , brushwood all arouni us and then &ot the wood on fire to cool us. . I thought it was all up with us. bu just as the ( lames were bcginnidg t < cause our llesh to..sizzle , Carson and .To < with the cnvalryj , from the fort , drovt down on to the camp , stampeded th < Sioux and cut us loose. But two of thi soldiers wore burned so badly that the ; died from the effects of it , while anothoi one and myself were pretty badl ; ro.istod. These scars showed how badli I fared. The genius afterwards enlisted for tin war of the rebellion at Monroe , Grcci cemnty , Wis. , andjsorvcd in the Thin Wisconsin regiment under Colonel , nov General Rugor. Ho was at Antiotam the second battle , of Bull Run , Win chojtor and Cedar , mountain , and ii many other fights and skirmishes , am suffered from injuries contracted in tin service. Ho has been married twice but his second miirriftgo was a bad ono and ho is living alone now , and BOWS 01 liis own buttons like a true bachelor Ho is a friend of Buffalo Bill. Bill in tended to take him to England with tin Wild West show , but as his health wa poor ut that time , ho declined to travc with the circus. A Wonderful Western Cave. R. E.
