BYAMs TALE OF WOE.
He Claims That Former Minne-
apOlis Woman Ruined Him.

c. Perry Byam, well known in Min
neap0lls G. A. r. circles, is in jail in
Chicago on the charge of conducting
swindling real estate schemes.R Mr..
Byam's claim to notoriety is based upon
his assertions. frequently made, that lie
is the only, :original, blue-labeled
youngest soldier Of the war;" backed
up by tale which he tells by way Of
accounting for his descent in the social
scale. His story attributes his
undoing to woman, also known
in Minneapolis, Mrs. Groves or Reade.
She, so 1t is said, has been married a
couple of times; first, when she was
fourteen years old. to Groves, and later
to one j. W. Reade. She separated from
him in Duluth. Byam says that while
in Duluth she drove an old banker TO
his grave by the persistent practice of
schemes savoring of blackmail. Ac
cOrding to him she then lived for a time
at the Ryan, in st. Paul. the expense
of travelling man named Foley. He
says further:
She then drifted to Minneapolis, where
she established herself in good style,
presumably with the money she had OBJ
tanned from the Duluth banker. Her
pleasing address and quick intelligence
SOON won her friends. who readily be-
lieved her story of being widow with
small fortune, who was seeking a
quiet, retired place III which to locate.
Among others, Mrs. Reade met Mrs.
Barto, who took a great fancy to her,
and after short acquaintance invited
her to spend few weeks at her house.
1t was at Mrs. Barto'S house that | met
Mrs. Reade, and an evil hour t was for
me. | became infatuated with her.. and
forgot everything that l should have
held sacred in her presence. She saw
that L was her slave from the start, and
Of course the result that might have
been expected followed"
He says further that she has repeated
ly extorted money from him on the
threat that she would expose their rela-
tions to his wife. Finally he forestalled
her by making his wife his cOnfidant,
and claims that Mrs. Reade, in revenge,
had him arrested for carrying OH a
fraudulent real estate business. That
is Byam's story. There may be truth
in it aud there may not.

RATHER TOUGH IF TRUE.
a Husband Who Was Som ething
Less Than Angelic.

1t is seldom that the court records of
Hennepin county are called upon to reg
lister as much ''original sin" as is chron-
icled in the complaint for divorce en-
tered yesterday by Louisa McDougal
against Arthur McDougal, in which
tale is told which proves that in some
cases marriage is failure. The plain
tiff was an interesting widow with one
pretty male child when she married her
present husband in Dundas, Rice
county, Minnesota, on April 4, 1878.
They have since had two children as the
fruits of the union, one girl now nine
years of age and a boy aged seven
years. The claim is that for the past
year the man has been habitual drunk
ard, and has treated the plaintiff cruelty,
calling her the most vile names and
making direct accusations against her
chastity. Once when they had quar-
rel, and she threatened to get divorce,
he had said: IL will make it the dirtiest
trial any one ever heard" n@i9
When living at 4l9 Ninth avenue
north he had beat her, and when the
fracas was over she was minus couple
OF her front teeth. He also. she says,
gave the children Intoxicating liquors
for the purpose of getting them drunk,
and also did all in his power to instruct
them in the belief that their mother was
an improper character. When living at
BAL Motor avenue he had threatened to
cut off her head and perform other in
teresting feats with the aid of knife.
She alleges that at one time he took
their little daughter to some rooms on
the third floor of No. lib Washington
avenue south, which were kept for pur
poses of designation, and there intro
duced her to the company of certain
women who were indecently dressed,
and compelled her to stay there with
children.

Old Members Of the Park
Board Will Fight for
Bonds.
Lieut.. E. Lincoln Parke Seems
to Have Left Minneap-
oils.
C. A. Bakers Death Said to
Have Been Caused by
Dlphtheria.
A Faithless Husband Elopes
With a Female Dentist for
Parts Unknown.

To-day some more Minneapolitans
will go to st. Paul to talk over pro-
posed legislation. They are members
of the park board, and they will go
down for the purpose of whispering in
the ear of the .Hennepin delegation.
This body of citizens will be headed by
A. j. Boar oman, and, although Board
man may have to mount a chair in Or
der to reach the ear of some of the late
legislators, there is little doubt but that
he will make himself heard. The spe-
cial piece of proposed law making
which will engage the attention of these
gentlemen is that resolution which
Senator March attempted to send
through the senate Oh the limited
mail. The resolution is to prohibit the
Minneapolis park board from issuing
any more bonds without the sanction of
the city council. 1t is designed to pre-
vent the issue of $500 of bonds which
the park board voted to issue week
ago. The old members of the park
board are considerably stirred mp over
the matter and mean to fight the matter
to the end. They have very good rea-
sons for so doing.
Something over a year ago the park
OOttlu lOCONb hlOliNJ' ~ i'NSN'N'N' ~ 800
mediately, and there was no way to get
it through the ordinary channels. Rather
than have the park board tied up for
want of cash the money was borrowed
on personal notes signed by members OF
the park board. In that way the money
was raised and the board was tided over
the sand bar. Those notes are now
falling due. This issuance OF bonds
to the amount of $4,000 is designed
partially for the taking up of these
notes so as to relieve the men who
kindly lent their names for the benefit
of the park board. The old members of
the board are particularly sore against
Senator March for his action in this
matter. Senator March was a member
of the park board at the time these
notes in question were issued, and Is
said to be about the only member of
the board as then constituted whose
name was not Oh those notes. Hence
his Introduction of this resolution is
looked upon as really unkind act on
the part of the senator from the Twen-
ty-ninth district. There promises to be
an ELEGANT fight" over this resolution.

COURT HOUSE LEGISLATION.
A Possibility That There Will Be
None This Winter.

There may be, according to the i'm
preston prevailing in certain quarters,
no court house legislation this winter.
The commission isn't thinking of ask
ing for any. That body has money
enough in sight to last it for two years
longer. and it prefers to have nothing
to say now, since the court house COM
mission has already created too much
talk. That narrowS the legislation
down to the question of legslating the
commission out Of Office. The senti-
ment III favor of that is dying out. 1t
is said that three prominent gentlemen,
among them John s. Pillsbury, have
been asked if they would accept places
on new commission. These three
gentlemen answered no, promptly and
emphatically. They had no fault to
find with the present commission, and
to accept place would be an insult to
city who make up the member
ship of the present board, they said
These refusals, it is said, set the mem
bers of the Hennepin delegation to
thinking as to the sentiment i'll the city
affecting the court house and city hall.
Were the people so strongly opposed to
the building as now planned as had
been represented? The three men seen
were heavy taxpayers, yet they gave the
gentlemen who interviewed them to
understand that they thought
the present commission was acting
with the necessary intelligence.
Then the trades and labor assembly
is in favor of the commission as at pres
ent constituted, and that carries some
weight. Besides there are legal en-
tanglements. The contracts let this
year will stand anyhow. ana they will
use up nearly all OF the $l,50O,000 APP
preparation. so that the court house
must cost more. Under these circum-
stances some members of the delegation
are said to be willing to let the present
board live and look after the carrying
out of the contracts they have let, con-
fident that the commission will act with
more judgment after the tussle they
have had for the past six months. But
this is all hearsay. The delegation may
speak differently.
The count house commission is con-
sidering the advisability of sending a
representative to Europe to confer as
to letting the contracts for iron work to
a Belgian firm. The commissioners be-
lieve that they can secure the work
from that side at saving of from $l5,-
900 to $25, 900, and, as long as they can
not spend the money at home, they be-
lieye it is proper to save the amount, if
