A PECULIAR CASE.
A Shocking Affair Which Has Not
Been Reported.

There were rumOrs floating around
the city yesterday that Saturday night
last cold-blooded murder had been
committed near the corner of Twenty
third avenue North and Second street,
and one woman even made the state
ment that she had seen man shot and
dragged toward the river by two other
men,. After a long and careful
search it was found that while
there was no murder there came
near being one. 1t appears t. at on Sat
urday evening James Knight, residing a
short distance cut of the city, had an
encounter with two men at the place
mentioned. during which he pulled a
revolver and fired two shots. His YER
sicn of the affair is that he was walking
home with considerable money in his
pocket, and when at Twenty-third ave
nue. two men sprang at him, eXclaiming
Now we have YOU" One hit him over
the head with heavy cane. He fell,
and While on the ground drew his revol-
yer and fired at his aSsailantS, who fed.
Another version, told by persons
who claim to know all about
the affair is this: Knight had been
Keeping company with young lady re-
siding on Second street, near Twenty
third avenue north, and some weeks
ago she threw him over. Since then he
has been hanging around the place, and
in number of ways making life un-
pleasant for the girl. Saturday even
ing he went to the house and was walk
Ing III the yard, when two of the board
ers saw him. They undertook to
fire him out, and during the trouble
Knight fired at them. 1t is understood
that Knight will cause the arrest of the
YOUNG men who assaulted him.

BOTH SIDES HEARD,
And a Council Committee Takes
the Eighth Ward Trouble.

The difficulty over the expenditures
in and Indebtedness of the Eighth ward
is now i'll the keeping of the special
council committee, the statements of
both sides having been made and the
case taken under advisement yesterday.
There was nothing sensational about
the meeting, which partook Of the char
acter of all earnest investigation, with
out a desire to do wrong on one side,
or to get indignant on the other. Aid
Morse was chairman of the commit
tee and moderated the meeting. Aid.
Cooley and Aid. StOneman conducted
their side of the case, while Attorney
Brooks represented the committee of
citizens, nearly all of whom were pres
ent. Several other Eighth warders
perched about the railing or seated
themselves within it. Attorney Smith
represented the law in tile case, and
Comptroller Holbrook dealt in the fig
ures bearing on it. 1t is unnecessary to
again go over the points on either side.
as both have been given in full in
the GLOBE. Attorney Brooks made the
charges and Aid. Cooley replied. The
latter refused to believe the investiga-
anything but a personal feeling against
Aid. Stoneman and himself. He de-
MED any fraud or wrong doing beyond
going in debt, and that he justified by
saying the people wanted the improve
ment hurried along, and had even
talked of bonding the ward to do it.
Any statement that a promise had
been made to reimburse Badger & Pen
ney for grading in their addition
was lie, pure and simple. There
was great deal of crossfring and ques-
tioning, calculated to bring out the
facts. G. c. Dunn said he was inter-
eSted as a taxpayer and real estate
dealer. If the aldermen were right he
proposed to stand by them, but, if
wrong, his purse was ready to help
send them over the GOALS" He knew
that this debt hanging over this ward
prevented the sale of property. John
Day Smith said he was grateful to the
committee for bringing out the facts,
and in the same breath said their action
was piece of conSummate effrontery
When it came down to actual figures,
it was shown that both sides were right.
The committee figures in the Badger d
Penny claim is on the same footing as
others, and produces an Indebtedness of
about $4,000, less the amount now
available. Mr.. Cooley throws out the
Badger Il Penny claim and counts as
assets all taxes 10 DE credltGQ THIS year
and delinquent back taxes which may
come in, leaving a net Indebtedness of
about $4,000.
The committee spent all the after
loon looking up bids, and found the
lowest bidder has been giving the con-
tracts. and that bids had been adver-
tised for except where work exceeded
the contracts, in which cases it was
found to be cheaper to allow contractors
to go on and complete the work. The COM
mittee then went into executive session
to consider the findings, and will make
up its report to-day.

TURNED INSIDE OUT.
A Suit Which Shows Up the West
Side Railroad Company.


A short time ago, when there was so
much talk about Lord Randy Burgess
West Side Street Railway company, Mr..
Burgess announced that all the debts of
the company had been paid, and that
the road would be pushed to a speedy
completion. But it now appears that
there was a mistake somewhere as all
the bills were not paid. At least this
would appear to be the case. for in
the district court yesterday AXel
johnson & Co. began an action against
the company to recover SG09.75 due for
grading. and asking that the roads
franchise, etc, be sold under direction
OF the court to pay the bill. The de-
PENDANTS in the action are Randolph
burgess. James German. Matthew
Walsh, John L. Byrnes, j. r. Menden-
hall and Harry Mitchell. The plaintiffs
allege that the railroad company is
wholly and hopelessly insolvent. and
has no property or effects of any kind
except the rights, privileges and fran
clise, and the unpaid subscriptions of
stock. The complaint further states
that the capital stock of the company is
$500, 200, divided into 1000 shares of $50
each, all Of which still remains unpaid.
This stock is held as follows: Randolph
Burgess, 1,000 shares: Matt Walsh. 200
shares; John r. Byrnes, 200 shares: j.
r. Mendenhall, 100 shares; Harry
Mitchell, 100 shares. In concluding the
complaint states that the company never
gave any bond to provide for the pay
ment OF its debts

ROW Assured.
There was a largely attended meeting
of the NicOllet Avenue Illuminating as
sociation held at the Century Piano
cOmpany'S store, On Nicollet avenue,
last evening, and considerable enthusi-
asm was manifested. The probosi-
ton made by the city council, to ap-
propriate $1,000 for the purpose of
refunding the money to the individuals
OF firms who should contribute to the
Illuminating fund, providing an enabling
act was passed by the next legislature,
was discussed at some length. The
general opinion was thot there would
be no difficulty in having this act passed.
After long and decidedly rambling
discussion, Messrs. John Il. Everard,
viii E. Steele, Henry Young,
Clarence Marshall, Lucien Swift,
.r., Frank Nichols, P. d. Boutelle and
Clark. of Bateman & Clark, were ap.
pointed as the executive committee in
place OF the one which served last year.
This committee was instructed to solicit
funds, and as soon as enough to erect
the fixtures was secured, to proceed
with the work. 1t is thought that after
the fixtures are up there will be no
trouble i'll raising money enough to pay
for the gas. Each subscriber to the
fund will be paid pro rata from the
money to be donated by the council
next winter.
At the meeting of the Exposition di-
crectors yesterday morning, it was de-
clded to loan the city $500 for illumi-
mating purposes, provided the council
would arrange for the repaying of the
money. 1t was decided to set aside
$500 to pay the expenses of the Mime

a Slight Ruffie in the Algonquin
Club Waters.
About the only thing done in the Al
gonquin club rooms last night that the
public would be interested i'll, was to at
tempt to arbitrate little quarrel be-
tween John Il. Everard and Joseph Jep-
son. Every one knows that Jepson is a
blunt, good-hearted young hustler, who
says what he thinks and sometimes al
lows his temper to get the better of
him, in which case he flares up
like gun-p0wder. 1t is over in a
minute and he is willing to shake hands
and called it square. Everard is one of
the old-time Democrats, rather inclined
to be matter Of fact, and also given to
direct speech and to mean just what he
says. The Algonquin club room has
witnessed some very racy and warm de-
bates i'll the days gone by, and in one OF
these, it appears, Jepson and
EVerard had passage at
is not known, but Everard felt himself
aggrieyed, and last night brought the
matter before the club. JepSon was
absent and could not defend himself,
but Everard preferred charges against
him and demanded action. No one
seemed to know exactly what to do, and
there was a disposition to smooth it
over, but Dick Heinrich took hand
with Everard and joined him IN the pre-
ference. sThe matter was finally given
to committee to reduce the charge to
writing and serve a copy on JepSon.
