A Supposed Thief Arrested as He
Is Leaving the City.

James McCune, former employe of
William Donaldson & Co., was arrested
yesterday on the charge Of grand lar
ceny. McCune acted as lamp trimmer
at the Glass block until a short time
ago. and during the time of his service
the firm missed great many arti-
cleS of value from the stock,
but could not ascertain whether
the thefts had been committed by
Shoplifters or some of the regular en-
ployes. After McCune left, however,
suspicion was directed toward him. and
a search was made for him. but it was
found that he had left the city in COM
pany with a woman. leaving his wife
behind him. Yesterday it was learned
that he had returned, and Detective
John Hoy went at once to his former
residence, No. 2017 Hillside avenue,
where he found that McCune had
packed up his belongings and
departed again. The detective overlook
his man, however, at the union depot
just as he was about to board train for
Sioux City. McCune and his two trunks
were taken to the lookup, and quite
number of the missing articles were
found, among others a valuable gold
watch, pair of sleeve buttons and sew

vOrce Court.
The famous Fowler divorce case was
ended yesterday, when Mr.. Fowler was
granted decree on his cross bill, much
to the disgust of Mrs. Fowler. Yester-
day morning Mr.. Fowler, neatly attired
in black suit, with curled moustache.
crossed legs and clasped hands, told his
story. He said she had bad temper,
frequently hurting pokers, table knives,
books and other missiles at him, and
that often she would pack up her grip
and be absent from her home for weeks
at time, one time spending two days
at the West hotel under an assumed
name.N Mr.. Fowler told his side
of the row so unconcernedly and quietly
that Mrs. Fowler laughed out loud.
This brought slight reprimand from
Judge Pond. He accused his wife with
going with other men, of threatening to
make scenes of scandal and shame be-
fore him if he wouldn't pay her lots of
money, which he said he couldn't, and
that last October, while attending to
passenger at the depot, his wife threat
ened to assault himself and the passen-
ger and raise scene. MIR. Fowler de-
clared that he owned some property,
and his wife didn't, and he had tried 10
be good husband, but she hadn't been
kind to him.
Little Wallie," with Lord Fauntleroy
tie of immense dimensions, took the
stand and almost cried while he backed
up his mammals tale. The boy said his
father called him monkey quite often.
Mrs. Fowler said her husband had
been inhuman to her because he used to
go near the street cars when out for
drive. She also said Mr.. Fowler used
to twit her boy "Wallie' on his Sunday
school lesson, by asking him if he had
studied about Moses and the bullrushes.
In the afternoon Attorney A. Ii. Hall
served up hot brown roast on the deli
cate organization of Mrs. Fowler.

4 ChiId's Ride to Death on His
Drunken Fathers Shoulders.

Drunken Fathers Shoulders.
New York Press.
Just as night was falling last evening
people living in the streets adjacent to
the Brooklyn end of the bridge were
startled at the spectacle of man, in
toXicated, ON horseback, riding around
in an aimless way. Perched upon his
shoulders was child about two years
Did. The little fellow, young as he was,
seemed to realize his peril, for he cried
frantically, appealing to some one to
rescue him.
The reckless rider, who turned out to
be the child's father, lurched TO and fro,
and it seemed as if he would fall to the
pavement and crush the child under
him at any moment. The animal, which
seemed hal f-frantic, turned into Adams
street on brisk canter. In turning the
corner the man almost fell off the
horse back. At the corner of Plym-
outh street the animal, tagged out by
incessant running and frightened by
the yelS of some rowdies, stopped
short, throwing the man headforemoSt
into the street, with his child under
him.
Several persons who witnessed the
accident ran up to render assistance.
Before they reached the spot the man
arose, lifted the child OH his shoulders,
and mounted the horse again. He
started of on trot. Blood was stream
ing from the chiId'S head. staining his
gown and his fathers garments. He
had gone but a short distance when De
tective Kearney and Officer McLaugh-
lin, who had heard of the occurrence,
caught up with him.
The officers stopped the horse and
lifted the child from his perilous posi-
tion. The little fellows head was
hanging to one side. and his eyes were
closed. He apparently was in dying
condition. The policeman ordered the
man to dismount. The rider refused to
obey orders, and the officers dragged
him off the horse.
An ambulance was summoned. and
the doctor who responded discovered
that the child's skull had been fractured
at the base; his face and one of his ears
were cut. He was taken to the city hos
pital. His condition is critical.
The father was taken TO the Fulton
street station. There he said he was
Thomas Lanigan. thirty-fve, cooper,
and lived at No. 400 Water street, this
city. The child was his son John. aged
two. Ianigan's brother called at the
station house last night. He said the
prisoner LETT his house for ride across
the bridge early in the day.

at first announced. That meeting has
been postponed until Tuesday, Oct. 81.

cur that day. In the evening there will

held in all probability in armory hall.
There is not another hall in town big
enough to accommodate the crowd that
will want admittance Speakers will
be imported from all over the state and
from other states especially for the oc-
casion. President Durant of Saltwater

Why Mrs. Ada Leigh Wants to Get

Mrs. Ada Leigh filed a complaint in
the district court yesterday. beginning
divorce proceedings against Leonard
Leigh, to whom she was married in On
tario in 1877. She is twenty-eight years
of age, and he forty. She alleges cruel
and inhuman sreatment. According TO

morose and sullen disposition, and soon
after the marriage began to make her.
life burden. During November, 1878,
when she was in delicate condition, he
took her away from her relatives, and,
because she objected. struck her in the
face, knocking her down. On another
occasion. in 1880, hewas annoyed by the
crying of his child, and, in order to get
even" with some one, threw his wife out
of bed and began beating her. In 1854
he deserted her, and she placed her
child in charitable institution. Then
Leonard came back, and, by means OF
raise affidavits, secured possession OF
the child, placed it with his relatives,
and then began to taunt his wife about
it. Mrs. Leigh declares that she is now
prevented from seeing the little one. .and
she therefore asks for a divorce and the
custody of the child.

The Flour Output.

The Northwestern Miller says that
the falling off of the -four output is due
to lost time. The weeks production
was 164,915 barrels, averaging 27,4S6
barrels daily, against $50. $50 barrels the
previous week, $50 barrels for the
corresponding time in 1890, and 151, 400
barrels in 1889. The conditions the
present week are favorable for one of
The biggest runs ever made. All except
three of the mills are IN motion, and
one of these will be started tomorrow.

Farmers Will EIGHT.

The farmers are getting ready to con-
test the park board ordinance restrict
ing the travel on the Hennepin avenue
boulevard. They are all mad about it
that is, all of them who live in that
direction from Minneapolis. They
have to use it or make long detour.
A. E. Boyce and c. d. Burnes are at the
head of the movement to test the ordi-
nance. Boyce was the first man who
was arrested for driving on the boule-
ward, and he fought the case then till 1t
was dismissed. Burnes is under arrest
now for the same offense. They are
circulating a subscription paper to raise
money to prosecute the fight. They set
up the claim that the boulevard is an
old territorial road. and that they have
right to travel on it as much as they
please.

HE is BUDA.

The Self-Confessed Murderer Has
at Last Been Identified.
Superintendent Henderson, of the po-
lice department, received a telegram
yesterday from Sheriff Helm, of Cen
tralia, ILL.,, in which that gentleman
states that the photograph of the self
confessed murderer, who gave himself
up to the Minneapolis police about a
week ago, has been identified as that of
Jacob Buda. Buda killed his brother
.in-law i'll that city several years ago and
was acquitted of the charge of murder
on the ground of insanity. He was sent
to the insane asylum at Anna. ILL.,, and
a short time ago he escaped. Chief Hen
derson has telegraphed the authorities
of the asylum for instructions, and if
they do not want Buda he will be re-
leased.
