EES MAKES A KICK.
A Plumber Sets Out to Take the
Building Inspectors Scaip.-

!. Buiidimg Inspectors Scalp
"A petition was filed in the district
court yesterday by George Kees against
Building Inspector Gates A. Johnson,
praying that the court issue an alternate
write of mandamuS commanding John
son to show cause why he does not COM
ply with Kees' application for a
plumbers license. The petition sets
forth that on April Kees appeared be-
fore Johnson and presenting the re-
quired bond duly signed and ap-
proved, applied for plumbers license
which would enable him to embark
upon the business Of plumbing and to
establish himself as the proprietor of
plumbing shop. Brown is Journey
man plumber and required by law to
show that he has performed some prom
inent job of plumbing in which his work
was successful. 1t seems from Mr..
Johnson's statement that KEGS did
everything which entitled him to Ii
cenSe, but that the most essential part
of his obligation, according to the build
ing law, which provides that such show
ing of work done shall be requisite
to the enjoymentO of 4 plumbers license.
The license was refused on the grounds
stated, and now comes Kees and calls
the case into the court to test the valid
ity of the law upon which johnson
acted. This is the first test of the queS-
ton, and promises to be of considerable
interest to plumbers throughout the
state-the law applying to the whole
state. Judge Brill granted the writ
making it returnable Saturday, April 6,
and counsel will argue the case at the

A villainous attempt to ravish two
little girls yesterday afternoon about
O'Clock has set the Sixth ward police on
the hunt. The would-be ravisher is de-
scrlbed as a young man about twenty
years old, cleanly shaven and wearing
black suit of clothes. At the time of
the assault he had pony which he
rode along the river bank and about the
scene OF his plot. Two little girls we're
playing on the west bank of
the river opposite Raspberry island,
the Oldest aged twelve, fisherman's
daughter living on fiat boat moored
near the Wabasha street bridge, the
other, child aged eight years. of
family residing on the fiat. The un-
known man rode up to the oldest, who
was then some distance from the
younger child, dismounted, and tying
his horse to tree, induced her to romp
into ticket of woods. Then he began
urging an indecent proposal, which the
child declined. Aroused at the rebuff,
and finding his position rather
perilous, he rode off up the
river, to where the other child
was running around in a grove,
Accosting her. he gave her nickle
with which he told her to buy candy.
Then he made a fiendish attempt upon
the person of the poor little thing. Her
cries attracted a woman who lived about
a block away to the scene. Seeing that
he was discovered, the man mounted
his horse and fed down Fairfield avenue
toward the Robert street bridge.
The woman took care of the
child and dispatched a mes
senger for a policeman. who in
turn communicated an account of the
affair to the central police station. A
mounted officer from the Ducas street
station was assigned to pursue and ar
rest the villain, but up to midnight he
had not been apprehended. If he is
caught 1t will go hard with him, as
yesterday was not the first time that he
has been seen promenading around that
vicinity, and on one of his former tours
he made similar assault upon another
little girl, whose parents hushed up the

make friendly call upon Brown, who
had no suspicious whatever of the trap
that was laid for him. The two chatted
together in the kitchen, and Brown,
thinking Cotton faithful colleague,
proceeded to bake mold for the coin
ing he intended to do that night. Cotton
watched the proceeding, and eScuslng
himself moment went out into the
yard, ostensibly to get drink of water
from the pump, but, in fact, to inform
the officers how matters stood within.
He then returned. and Brown, hay
ing placed the mold in the oven,
the two resumed playing cards

Colton's story, the commissioner bound
Brown over i'll $1,000 bail, to appear at

trict court to be held at Winona. 1t is
now learned that Brown came here with
his wife early last fall and engaged in

CURBsToNE COMMENT.

A constant visitor at the various rail-
Road ticket offices must notice the large
number of people who come in inQuir-
ing the price of ticket to all sorts of
places. One ticket agent was asked
yesterday what percentage of these in
Quirers come back and buy. He said
that at least two-thirdS' were genuine
purchasers and came back to buy tick
cts. The other third are either pre-
vented from going or are cOrralled by
some other road to the same point.

A railroad ticket broker frequently
sees some funny things. Frequently
there is the foundation for a good storv
in the mere fact of certain person buy
ing ticket to certain point. WHY.
for instance. does young and charming
lady buy ticket and through sleeping
car berths all the way to some out-of-
the-wav town in Idaho? What is the
true inwardness of the purchase of an
emigrant ticket to the coast by we'll
dressed and apparently prosperous man?
Such little trifieS are sometimes the
some misfortune.
1t is strange in these days of newspa-
per reading how many men scarcely
read a paper at all. AT late hour yes
terday afternoon prominent business
man was heard to say, in answer to a
remark about the railroad accident on

LOOKS BAD FOR BROWN.
Commissioner McCafferty Holds
the Counterfeiter for Trial.

Luther S. Brown, charged with coun-
terfeiting gold and silver coin, and ar
rested i'll Minneapolis about two weeks
ago, was up before United States Com
missioner McCafferty yesterday and had
the finale of his preliminary hearing.
G. NJ. Cotton was sworn and testified
that he was approached by Brown with
the proposition that he would "shove"
the bogus coin. he (Brown) would make
it. Cotton thereupon informed the
authorities of Browns offer, and
was employed by the United
States marshal to purchase
the counterfeit money of Brown
as the latter offered it for sale. Cotton,
acting in the capacity of the govern
ment's agent, bought of Brown about
$50 worth Of dollars, ten cent and other
bogus coin, including some five-dollar
gold pieces, paying Brown therefore rs
cents on the dollar. On the day of.
Browns arrest, Cotton having thus
acted as spy and at the same time be-
friended Brown, at the direction of the
officers WhOmade the arrest, called upon
Brown and engaging him in game of
cards, awaited the raid of the officers
who had planned to arrest Brown
while in the act of making
the spurious stuff. Cciton pretended to
