(AP) - The Duluth City Council has postponed
selling the city's historic Tiffany window until next month.

      The Council postponed selling the stained-glass window, known as the Minnehaha window, until
Oct. 13, in hopes of finding a local buyer.

      Two weeks ago, the Council voted to sell the 115-year-old window
to help balance the budget. But after an outcry in the community,
Council Member Jay Fosle sponsored a resolution to give more time 
to find a local buyer.

      The Minnehaha window depicts the legendary Native American princess Minnehaha, standing in front of Minnehaha Falls in Minneapolis. Assessors say it could be sold for between $1 million and $3 million.
 

      Council Member Sharla Gardner says she spoke with the city's
purchasing director, who said the deadline for a local buyer to
express interest is Sept. 17. 

If no one comes forward with a
reasonable plan, the window will be sent to an auction house.

      The council would have to approve the final sale.
