TALES OF The WEST SIDE.
A Chance for the Health Department to
Smell Something.
BURGLARS ARE AT WORK.
Incendiary Fires and Police News
Sixth Ward General No.
tatiOns.

CShould the health officer who looks
after the public interest in that respect
in West ST. Paul happen to stumble in
one of his periodical rambles to the
vicinity of spot in the rear of the Bell
block, on Fairfield avenue, his olfactory
apparatus would doubtless apprise
hime of the necessity for gen.
eral cleaning up in that locality.
In the rear of the structure mentioned
is an ill-smelling assortment of rags
and decaying vegetation, which has
been fired promiScuously from the back
porches of the building. Daily addi-
lions of diShwater and other abOmina-
lions have not tended to improve the
smell arising from the peSt-breedlng
spot, and it is no eXaggeration to say
that there is sufficient material for the
propagation OF typhus, or any other
deadly disease, emanating from this fear
full mixture on hot day to kill every
man, woman and child in the ward if
administered in properly regulated
doses. This is not the only cause for
complaint by the residents in the neigh
borhood. There are many other blocks,
the rear yards of which are in similar
condition, and from similar causes.
There is room for considerable more
active supervision by the health official
than has been displayed heretofore.
Early Sunday morning burglars en-
street conducted by John Seagrave,
and went through the occupants for
about all they had in the cash line. The
keys of trunks were taken from the
pockets of the bOarderS, and the trunks
rified of the savings deposited therein
by several of the men boarding at the
house. Among the victims are John
William, August Seagrave, Andrew
Larson and others. Nothing but cash
was taken, watches and jewelry being
left behind. The amount taken toots
up about $125.
Fire broke out in barn In the rear of
224 Water street early Sunday morning.
The department responded promptly to
an alarm turned in by the police, and
kept the flames from spreading to ad-
joining buildings. Damage, 5000; in
surance, $3.50; origin, incendiary.
In the Sixth ward court yesterday the
case Of 81. E. Dreis VS.. August Adam
was decided for the plaintiff. The case
of Charles B. Hess VS.. Erick Won Rosen-
lind was dismissed.
Isaac Hardy, of the West side, will be
MdIIleQ IO-udy dG CtHleTVlllo, MILL, W
Miss Crazy Brookheart, Rev. Father
Boigan, of that city, officiating. Mr..
Hardy will bring his bride to this city
in a few days, and the young couple
will begin housekeeping in the La
Chance block.
Henry Broder, who was seriously
hurt about the head while assisting IN
the removal of counter from Dakota
avenue store yesterday, is in serious
condition at his home on the West side.
Mary Jantzen, the girl who was ar
rested Sunday at Faribault in possession
OF horse and buggy she had hired sew
eral days previously from the livery
stable of j. H. Dubord on Fillmore ave-
nue., was brought back to the city last
evening by Detective Daily, who went to
Farlbault after her. The girl has been
in the employ of family on South
Robert street for several months past,
and her queer actions have excited COM
ment upon more than one occasion. She
is believed to be the victim of dementia,
and will doubtless be dealt with ac-
cordingly.
