WAS IT INTENTIONAL?
Mary Anderson Seems to Have
Attempted Suicide.

Mary Anderson,a middle-aged woman,
employed as domestic in the family
Of Rabbi Samuel Marks, at 827 Ninth
avenue south, seems to have attemp ted
suicide. At 80 yesterday morning the
family of the rabbi were much aston
ished at the next door neighbors loudly
rapping at their back ioor, and on in
curing the cause, discovered Mary
Anderson lying on the ground. Her
bedroom window, which was on the
third floor, was open, and the girl had
evidently jumped or thrown herself out.
She was picked up in very bad condi-
ton. The doctors called IN said they
feared her shoulder was broken and her
hip dislocated. The patrol wagon was
sent for and she was taken to the North
western hospital. She had been ailing
for the past few days and complained
of slight touch of rheumatism and
feeling generally sick. Consequently
she had not been attending to her regu-
lar duties. Yesterday evening a ply
sician, who happened to be personal
friend of Rabbi Marks, called at that
gentleman'5 residence, and the rabbi re-
Guested the doctor to see the girl. He

slight catarrh and was also somewhat
feyerish. He prescribed for her all

of the matter until she was picked up
yesterday morning. She possessed an
excellent character, and had been with
the rabbits family eight months.

Another Bridge Project.

Nelson Williams and George A.
Bracket are said to be behind a scheme
to build bridge across the Mississippi
from the foot of Sixth avenue south.
Four years ago the engineer prepared
plans for such bridge, but the council
took no action. A short time ago a
meeting was held in the Guaranty Loan
building to discuss the question, and it
was decided that the bridge was pub
lie necessity. The matter will be urged
upon the council, and the council will
promptly pigeonhole it. There is no
money for bridge building, and there

The Minneapolis Police Make a
Large Haul.

Last night the police department
again demonstrated that it meant what
it said when it ordered the gamblers to
put away the cards. Nearly all the
houses obeyed the command at the
start. Some did not. One of
these was the place at 1O7

Joe Monahan. That place has been
operated persistently with the exception
Of a couple of days last week, when
it was again ordered to close. Admit

LARGE TIMES IN PROBATE.
A Wife Wants Her Husband Out
of the Way.

Judge Corrigan had his hands full
yesterday in probate court, attending to
the special calendar, and was also COM
PEELED to hear the usual crazy cases.
John W. Woods, young man living at
244 Hennepin avenue. where his father
keeps a lodging house, thought that he
was genius of the first water, and
cut out for a brilliant career. The
brilliancY was prevented by conflicting
evil spirits. He had become violent.
and his friends thought it best to com
nit him. He refused to answer the
courts questions, putting on the air of
a king, and was sent to st. Peter.
Wilhelmin Lauer came in followed
by brood of children, six in number.
She lived at Medina, and stated that
her husband refused to work, claiming
that he was ill. She thought it was a
case of chronic lazness. She wept as
she told her story, the children cried
with her, the judges hair stood on end,
and he signed an order letting the
whole family go to the state school at
OWatOnna.
Johannes Stair came down with her
husband from Arctander. KandiyOhi
cOunty-that is to say, the patrol wagon
ney, Judge LELAND, insisted that her.
better half be sent to the asylum She
stated that he was violent, and threat
ened her life. 1t turned out that the al.
legged insanity was but an exaggerated
case of the green-eyed monster. Judge
LELAND admitted that the woman had
been indiscreet. but insisted that the
man was fit candidate for st. Peter. 1t
seems that the husband thinks the wife
has transferred her affections to some
other man, and had grown cold towards
him. This had angered him, and he
had asked her to get the Lothario out of
the way, and then he would forgive her.
He did not specify the means, but
thought he would appear best as cold
corpse. Judge Corrigan stated that he
didn't like the looks of the case, and
looked suspiciously at the woman. who
let her attorney tell her story for her.
and appeared calm and cool. The man
was allowed to depart.

The official returns of the votes

On these returns the Constitution
commands the General Assembly
to declare the person having a ma

the House refuses TO do its duty.

aifadavits in regard to about 200 re-
