Wanted to Adorn the New Menag-
erie at Como Park.
The board of park commissioners held
their regular weekly meeting yesterday
AFTERNOONS. A. S. Tallmadge, the secre-
tary of the chamber OF commerce, to
whom the duty had been givenof secur-
ing the deeds to the land for Como park.
reported that all the property owners
were ready to sign the deeds as soon as
they were satisfied that the park lines
are to be as represented to them. Some
of them desired to see plat with the
bounds of the park represented. No
such plat is in existence. and, in
the absence of Engineer ESta-
brook, of the park board, a re-
quest was made of the city engineer
that he prepare the plat asked. Work
will probably be begun on the park very
soon. Commissioner Ross introduced a
resolution. which was unanimously
passed, that the board use every pos
sibte means to secure the laying of
water mains throughout the entire
length of Summit avenue for the benefit
of the residents and of the boulevard.
Commissioner Ross was appointed chair
man.of a committee of one to confer

Third street. A committee, consisting
of Commissioners Ross, Schiffman and

North American animals for the Como

greatest effort will be made is a pecu-
culiar antelope seen by Commissioner

This animal has pair of. short legs on
Ole, side and a pair of long ones on the

KILL RETURNED FOR TRIAL.
A Cold-Blooded Murder to Be
Avenged by the Law.

A Cold-Blooded Murder to Be
Avenged by the Law.
Yesterday Deputy Sheriff Kinney re-
turned from Rochester, bringing with
him Nicholas Kill, who was lodged in
the county Jail. Three years ago Kill
murdered man named Nicholas Kohn
near Hamline. He was captured and
lodged in jail. While there he showed
many evidences of insanity. either real
or feigned. He was brought before a
petit jury, very unusual proceeding,
and pronounced by them insane. On
this authority he was sent to Rochester.
He has since proved very vicious and
unmanageabIe. Recently the state ex-
aiming board pronounced him sane, so
he was brought here to be tried before
the October term of the district court.
KilPS crime was a particularly cold
blooded and heartIess one. He came to
Kohn's house in the guise of tramp,
and was given shelter for several days.
In return for this kindness he murdered
his benefactor for about S70, which
Kohn was supposed to have. The evil
dence against Kill is very strong.
