ISRAEL NEARLY MURDERED
And the Police Seem to Know
Nothing About the Case.

f1UOuC tllC SdSC'
Benjamin Israel, a Hebrew peddler,
was assaulted by two Polanders yeSter-
day morning Oh Seventh avenue north
east, near Ramsey street. They threw
him down, kicked him and jumped on
him. Israel may die. At any rate lie
is badly injured. One of his assailants
is SAID to be named Joe Snyder. Both
are still at large. So far as can be
learned, the police have made no effort
brought to the central station and at
tended by Police Surgeon Gibson, the
police seem to know nothing about the
case.
The assault occurred in front of the
house of James Stubbards Mr.. Stub
bards was in bed at the time, but
jumped up when he heard somebody
cry, "Murder Murderw Mr.. Stub
bards slipped on his trousers and ran
out to the assistance of the peddler. He
saw the two men kicking and stamping
him, and at once attacked them. They
both turned on Mr.. Stubbards then, but
his brother-in-laW arrived at that mo-
ment and the PolanderS fed. The ped
dler was assisted into Mr.. Stubbard' S
house. There he gave his name Ben
Israel and said he lived at POS Seventh
avenue north.
Shortly afterward the peddler grew
worse and became so weak that he was
placed on bed. A policeman was noti-
fled and patrol wagon sent for. Israel
was taken to the lookup. There he was
examined by Police Surgeon Gibson. 1t
was found that he had sustained serious
internal injuries, being cut and bruised
about the head. The injured man was
then taken to his home, POS Seventh ave-
nue. north. Israel is not more than
twenty-five years old. He was unable
to sit up, and it is feared that he will die
from the effects of his injuries. Mr..
Stubbards, who came to the peddler's as
sistance, says that the neighborhood on
Seventh avenue northeast is infested
with gangs of Polanders. Israel re-
fused to go into house with the 20,
landers. Had he complied he would
probably have been robbed. He refused
and was nearly killed.

Got Away.

There was an attempt at murder in
North Minneapolis Monday night.
Christina Peterson received bullet in
the tieshy part of the neck, which was
evidently intended for more fatal spot.
Peter Hellgren fired the shot from 81
callber revolver and fled. 1t is supposed
that the police are looking for him, al
though it is not certain. Anyhow, the
case was reported to the police yester-
day morning.
1t was case Of unrequited love and
manly affection Spurned. Peter is
sort of religious enthusiast. Some folks
call him a crank. He works in the
quarry at Thirty-ninth avenue and Lyn-
dale, and boards near by. ALI his
leisure hours he had divided equally be-
tween religious pursuits and court
ing Christina. The girl, however,
has steadily and firmly refused
his attentions. Wednesday night
she attended meeting at the
Swedish church at Eighth avenue south
and Seventh street. Peter followed her
there, ogled her and then followed her

to her home, 3645 Washington avenue

proffered his attentions. They were in
dignantly declined, whereupon the en-
ragged Peter pulled a revolver from his
pocket, fired at her and fled. The girl
ran home and tainted. Hellgren re-
turned later and hung around the house
until a. M, threatening TO shoot any
one who dared come out. Christina is

Morris Durham Begins Counter
Suit Against Emma Schmidt.
1t is stated that Morris Durham is
about to commence a retaliatery action
against Emma Schmidt for $4,000 dam
ages, alleged to be due from the shoot
ing in which the two figured, and from
the effects of which he still carries the
ball in his body. The judgment that
Miss Schmidt obtained against Dur
nam for $500 has never been collected,
as an appeal has been taken to the SUI
preme court, and if he wins the counter
suit Durham probably means to attach
the judgment against him. The com
plant has been served upon Emma'S
lawyer, James A. Kellogg. and he is
preparing an answer in which he will
admit the shooting, but will claim
that it was done during an alteration of
the mind, brought on by Durnam's Sc
tiuction of her and marriage to another.

PATROL LIMITS NEXT.
Representative Smith Outlines
the Position Of the Hennepin
Delegation.

Delegation.
Now that the charter fight has sub
sided somewhat, the battle over the eX-
tension of the patrol limits Is the next
ordeal through which tine Hennepin del
egation to the legislature will pass.
There have been numerous petitions
and circumstances for and against the
extension in almost every por-
ton of the city. The ministers
have been working up quite formidable
move,and even propose to hire hall at
st. Paul, where they can unburden
themselves. and it Is not to be supposed
that the liquor men have been at all
idle in looking after their interests.
Representative j. j. Smith has been ap-
pointed chairman of the committee of
the delegation to receive the petitions,
and the question will come up some
time next week. Concerning the atti-
tude of the delegation Mr.. Smith said
yesterday: 1.-The majority of the
delegation is opposed to radical
legislation either on the patrol limits
question or upon any other. But we are
in favor of conservative extension of
the patrol limits on business streets in
keeping with the growth of the city.
We consider this one of the issues upon
which the last election was fought and
won. When any respectable proper
ton OF the people of any commu
nifty petition for an extension we are
in favor of granting such an extension.
We do not mean just few here and
there but half or tWO-thirds Of the bust
ness men and property owners along
the streets in question. This we con-
slider democratic.
The delegation Oh the other hand is
opposed almost to man to making any
extensions of the patrol limits in what
may be fairly considered the residence
portion of the city.
''If the majority of the people resid
ing, doing business and owning prop
erty along street are opposed to the
extension of the patrol limits along that
street, their wishes are our only rule,
and not man of the delegation would
think of making the extension.
''But an almost insane movement in
opposition to any extension of the patrol
limits is being pushed by some people.
They are intolerant and think that
their opinions of good policy and
government must be followed to the
letter. regardless of what the majority
may think. To these we can only say
that they are asking too much, and
am willing to 60 on record
as saying that if this intoIerant fight is
kept up against all extension it will re-
suit in the entire abolition of the patrol
limits. There is growing sentiment
in the delegation to that effect. We
don't want to come to this, but people
should be reasonable. We can't suit
everybody, and we want to take that
middle course which will satisfy the
great majority of the peOpleo

BYERS ON TRIAL.
He Says He Didn't Feast off Officer
Void

He Says He Didn't Feast off Officer
Void.
The case of Fred Byers, the little
butcher who was indicted for assault
for chewing the thumb from the hand
of Officer Void, was on trial in the GRIM
inal court yesterday. One of the pc
culiar points in the case was that Frank
Nye, ex-assistant city attorney, was for
the defense, land although many thought
it was brother of his on the other side,
it was only Assistant William Kenney,
who looked so much like him in general
appearance that they were at once
dubbed the 1.-TWO Dromios." The pros
ecutOn put on the complaining witness
and the officers who had come with the
patrol to prove the assault. Consider
able fun was introduced into the case
when the defense put on the little Ger
man prisoner, who told his story in
broken English.
1t was evident that he had been so
full of corn juice at the time that he
had remembered very little OF what did
occur. He denied the chewing, however,
but admitted that Void had thrown
him down and sat upon him.
Didn't you struggle at all?' was
asked.
mo, didn't; he vas too strong for
me.''
"What! Didn't you wrestle with
him?"
"Vell, yust dried to got my Wind.
l couldn't see putty veil, because he hef
closed up mine eyes nit his fist"
Mr.. Nye brought large number of
witnesses to swear to the reputation Of
the prisoner for good character and gen.
eral quietness of demeanor. The case
will be concluded this morning.

country, to the end that in The com n !.
campaign it should be available, under
the frank of the members of the next
congress, to be used in disseminating

Mr.. Kerr also commented upon tie

Mr.. Bland, of Missouri thought the gen
tieman was in favor of free coinage.

Mr.. Bland-You had the chance the other
day. but you did not vote with US. Now that
Mr.. Cleveland has been confirmed in his
views by such great statesman as the gen.
tleman from Iowa, don't see how he can
ever change his views and be converted.
In speaking to verbal amendment,
Mr.. Hooker, of Mississippi, referred to
the printing of Mr.. Cleveland's letter In
the Record, and said that, for one, and
speaking only for himself, he was not
disposed to permit that letter to become
part of theCongresslonal Record of the
country, without saying something in
regard to 1t, so that he might express
the sentiment of the people he in part
represented. He wished to say (while
he would not call in question the Opln-
ion of men who differed with HIM that
there was no man in this country,
whether he had held a distinguished
position or whether he had an
ambition to hold the highest posi-
ton within the gift of the Ameri
can people (be he of one party or an
other who could lay down the law to
the great masses of this country who
thought for themselves. In regard to
the publication, he wished to say for
himself, and. he believed. for his con-
stltuentS. that they wanted the free
coinage of both metals. Whatever
might be the opinion of any one man,
whether he had occupied an eminent
position in the past or expected to oc
cupy it in the future, whichever might
be the opinion of one man (whether
he sat on the Republican or the Demo
cratic side) no one man had right to
speak for the great laboring interests of
the country, which stood back and be-
hind the constitution and law.
Mr.. Cannon--I would like to ask the gen.
tleman whether he is in favor of Mr.. Cleve-
land for next president?

WANT TO LAY PIPES,
And Supply Crude Petroleum as
Substitute for Coal.


]. G. Sterling, ex-alderman of the
Eighth ward, and poundmaster of the
Eighth and Thirteenth wards, has
scheme Oh foot now. He was before
the joint committee ON ordinances and
underground wires yesterday seeking a
favor. His request was not granted,
but he continued to smile as benignly as
when he was wont to call aldermen to
order under the rule against smoking
Sterling was before the committee as
the representative of the Northwestern
Heat and Power company, corpora
ton which has not, as yet, passed the
nebulouS stage. The Northwestern
Heat and Power company wants the
permission of the council to lay
pipes in the streets and alleys
of Minneapolis. The poundmaster
made long and stirring appeal to the
committee on this subject, and waited
for a favorable reply, 1t came not.
Then he began again. Still the favora
BILE reply seemed baShful about appear
ing. Again Sterling returned to the
charge. Finally the committee post
poned action OH the request and the
aldermen went home. Sterling still
fingered about the chamber and urged
his scheme. The company for which he
spoke has not yet been incorporated.
He said the company did not desire to
incur the expense attendant upon the
filing of articles of incorporation. The
committee was not disposed to grant
valuable street privileges to corpora
ton which doesn't exist and about the
responsibility of which it knows moth
ing. There the matter rests.
This Northwestern Heat and Power
company seeks the privilege of laying
pipes for the benefit of humanity, it is
claimed. The pipes are to be used for
supplying crude petroleum to all per-
sons who are forced to buy fuel. The
Brush Electric Light company, the Cen
tury Piano company and others are
using crude petroleum as fuel. 1t has
been tested at the Single creek pump
ing station. 1t is claimed to be cheaper
than coal and much more desirable.
But the insurance companies will not
allow it to be stored on the premises
where it is used. The Northwestern
Heat and Power company contemplateS
storing it at some central point and pip
ing 1t to manufactures, blocks, houses
any place where fuel is required.
Sterling says that the company has
capital of $15OO0O. He refuses. how
ever, to disclose the names of any of
the members of the firm besides him.
