Choking his Promised wife.

A Seventh infantry soldier, from Fort
Smelling, named George Smith, was arrested
by Officer Dowlan, yesterday, on warrant
sworn out by young woman named Nellie
Clark, residing at So Eagle street.
The arrest was made on the charge of as
sault and battery, which consisted in the
woman being nearly ehoked to death by the
aforesaid individual.
Entering her residence yesterday afternoon,
Smith accused the woman of keeping COM
pany with another man, to which she re-
piled that she kept company with whom she
pleased; whereupon the soldierly gallant
threw the woman on bed and choked her
until she was black and blue in the face.
The case was called at 8 O'Clock, and when
Smith teok the stand he said that as Miss
Clark was his promised wife he couldn't
bear the idea of being deceived
The court said that it was contrary to
Hoyle and all prcedents, for lover to resent
a grievance committed by his promised wife,
by choking her into condition Of peniten-
tial contrition. In accordance with this
view of the case, Smith was fined SIS and
costs, on payment of which he was dis
charged.

RAMSEY COUNTY MAP.
The New Publication Being Prepared by
Warner s. FOote,


Warner s. Foote.
Foote, the we'll known map publishers, have
had a corps of competent engineers, draughts.
men and surveyors at work with the view OF
publishing new map of Ramsey county. The
combined labors Of those employed by the pub
fishers has resulted in the manufacture of
new and complete map, the prospectus of which
came to hand yesterday.
The ordinary difficulties attending the carefu
and necessarily painstaking labors of compil
ing map have not only been thoroughly mas.
tered by the publishers, but they have incor.
porated number OF novel and important
features in the new map which conspire tc
make it the most valuable and thoroughly
practicable affair OF its kind ever attem pted
An idea of it's size may be obtaiaed when it is
stated that the scale of the new map is 100 rods
to the inch, and for ready reference the above
feature cannot be overestimated.
Elegantly mounted on muslin, with roller
and moulding, the map is a truly magnificent
specimen of the engravers' and printers arts
while the artistic beauty of the coloring has
never been exceeded. Among the valuable fea.
lures of the map, it will clearly define the size
and shape of FARMS the number of acres to
gether with the names of the owners, the loca-
tion of residences, boundary lines, rivers,
lakes, townships, towns, incorpo
rated villages, everything, in Short that could
IN any manner conduce to make thoroughly
useful and valuable reference map.
In addition to the above the map will indi
cate the picturesque natural resorts in Ramsey
and adjoining counties, pointing out For
Smelling, Minnehaha Falls, White Bear lake
in fact all places of interest to the citizen anG
tourist around st. Paul. The introduction O.
the new map has been entrusted to Mr.. L. B
Rudd and Mr.. Thomas J. Cowan, gentlemen
whose long experience and practical knowl
edge of the business eminently qualities then
for the task.
1t is understood that the publishers are ne
.gotiating for the sale Of the map to the count
authorities, and as a map for standard and re
liable reference no better Investment could b
imagined. Messrs. Warner & Foote have puk

find out whether some of her duds had not
been used to replace the old clothes. She act
ed upon the suggestion and soon discovered
that she had been robbed Of a black cashmere
dress, navy blue silk dress and q white nm
derskirt. Entrance during the night, unknown
to the inmates, was forced through back win

fact that the old clothes were left in the wood

There is no clue to the party who committed
the robbery.
