Larceny From a D'cclling.


GA q warrant charging him with larceny
from her dwelling house. 1t seems that
the complaining witness owed the defend
ant a grocery bill, and that the defendant
had agreed to take potatoes in liquidation
of the same. The only obstacle in COM
pleting such II trade, was the fact
that they could not arrive at a definite
price which should be paid or allowed for
the potatoes. The complaining witness
refused to deliver up the potatoes until
a satisfactory price should have been fixed,
but Notwithstanding this Slocum went to
the house determined to have the potatoes.
When he called Mrs. Lorenz was not
at home, SO he proceeded to help
himself. and that is what
got him into trouble. Slocum was ar
raigned yesterday afternoon before Judge
Cooley, but in order to secure witnesses
the preliminary examination was con-
tinued until Monday afternoon.
AN EAST SIDE MURDER.
4 Nan Tho i'le.:c.f thc Js,rylar Gets Killed
tn. His Pains.
At about 10 O'Clock last night an episode
occurred on the East side near the GENE
terry. which sent the soul of a man flying
across the river Styx. Shortly after the
time above named a telephone call came
into the Central police station ordering
the patrol wagon to the East side. Officers
Hill. Howard and Brudigan hooked up the
grays and went flying across the bridge. It
was past midnight when they returned in
charge OF Capt. Chase, bearing the corpse
of an unknown man on a cot, and young
man named Frank Hanson and his wife,
H. l.,
being interviewed, stated substantially as
follows: ''danson came running up to
me and said, I want you to
come to my house and get man.
I asked what is the trouble?' He replied,
a man undertook to get into my house and
I slugged him. / said, 'Fll go out, but the
chances are that the fellow will be gone
long before we can get there Hanson
lives on the corner of Taylor and Broadway,
two miles distant. He said, 'Fll bet you
al oyster supper that he'll be lying
in the yard when we get there. 1 then
ordered the wagon and went to the
house. We found the man lying in the
front yard number of feet from the
house. He was then still alive. We picked
him up carefully and brought him here,
but did not know he was dead until ar
irving at the station. l took Hanson and
wife prisoners, and have the keys to the
house,
Frank Hanson is young man and the
son of J. ID. Hanson, a highly respectable
blacksmith, whose shop is on Main street,
near the stone arch bridge. Frank is in
his fathers employ, and this is the frst..hme
he has ever been In serious trouble. He
stated to the GLOBE reporter that his wife
had started to GO out Of the front door
after an ASH pan, when the stranger step
ped up and endeavored to push
into the room. She screamed and
he (Hanson) rushed up. The str Ans or
struck at him and he returned the blow
with his fist, knocking him from the porch
to the ground, The stranger sprang up
from the ground, and the blow was re-
peated with all the strength he could COM
mand, this time knocking him several feet
from the porch. He saw the man was un-
able to rise, and then went for
Capt. Chase. He stoutly asserted
his innocence of any design
to kill the man. The wife, who is appar
emily frail little creature, being inter
viewed separate and apart from her hus-
band, corroborates his statement, and
seemed heartbroken over the calamity.
Her father, R. Peet, one of the proprietors
of the Minneapolis brass works, on First
avenue south, came to the station, and to
him Capt Chase gave the custody of Mrs.
Hanson until this morning. The coroner
was promptly notified of the occur
renee, and arrived at the sta
ton at about 1 o'clock. DR.. Quinby
made cursory examination of the re-
mains, but found no serious bruise. No
bones were broken, and the cause of death
seems wrapt in mystery. The face of the
corpse was covered with blood, which had
flowed from the nostriIs. The forehead,
however, gave a slight indication of a
bruise, but it was not thought
sufficient to have induced death.
Respecting the identity of the dead man
nothing could be learned. Only one scrap
of paper was found on his person, and on
that was written simply the address of
Merriman, Barrows & Co. The body was
poorly clad ia cheap suit of old clothes,
was apparently about thirty-five years of
age, and looked like slough customer"
Mrs. Hanson states that in him she recog-
niZes man who few days
since called at the house and
asked her il she had a we'll, and where it
was, She answered that it was in the
house. After propounding two or three
other simple questions and closely scrutin-
izing her, he walked off and joined another
man on the street. Her supposition is
that ne supposed she was alone last
night. Capt. Chase will make searching
investigation of Hanson's house to-day:
and if no evidence of violence is found the
prisoner will probably be discharged. The
remains are now in Warmers undertaking
rooms, where post mortem examination
will be made to-day.
