PECULIAR CASE.
A Wife Has the Body OF Her Hus-
band Exhumed.

A somewhat peculiar case came up
before Coroner Byrnes yesterday. A
lady named Mrs. Clifford, living at
Royalton, requested the coroner 10 eX-
hume the body OF her husband, which
was buried at Lakewood, and examine
it for marks indicating foul play. 1t
seems that last December her husband
was found dead In the Great Northern
depot nj Ashby. An examination OF
the body al the time failed to show Tie
cause of death. The theory OF heart
disease or apOpleXy was ADVANCED ana
accepted without further investigation,
and the remains we're shipped down
here. Mrs. Clifford was away from
home at the time OF her husband
death, 50 she accepted the general oe-
lief OF heart disease or apopleXy, ana
allowed the remains TO be inferred
without protest
She was aware that her husband had
$500 with him Just previous 10 his death
which could not be found. aud also
knowing that he had a number OF enc
mics, she concluded finally TO have the
body exhnmed so Us 10 satisfy herself.
Coroner Byrons yesterday ordered
pOst-mortem examination OF the re-
mains winch had been eXhumed, ana II
took place yesterday afternoon al Con-
nOlly's morgue. IT failed TO reveal any
thing. however. which might lead 10
theory OF murder, 50 Mrs. Clifford was
forced 10 content herself with the beIleI
that her husband died a natural death d.
She left for home immediately after The
pOsl-mOrtem examination, and the re-
mains will he placed in their old resting
place in Lakewood

THE TEST CASE.
The Rand Saloon Ordinance VIII
Have Its Final Test.

The case OF W. II. Harris, the saloon
keeper, at 80 Third avenue south,
charged with keeping his place open on
Sunday, March y, which IS to test the
Rand ordinance. came UP for trial yes
terday before Judge Elliot, in the muni-
cipal court. Among the witnesses IN
trOduced Oy the state. were tile crusad-
ers, Walter 5. Briggs, who made the
complaint, and CITY Clerk Haney.
Briggs testified To the events which led
up To the arrest OF Harris, and Haney
read the minutes OF the council meeting
when the Rand ordinance was PASSED
and the rules governing the same. The
defense admitted that the saloon was
Op n OH the day named In the
complaint, but took the stand that Hair
ris was not cOgnizant Of it. 1t was
shown that Harris had ordered his bar
tenders not 10 keep the saloon open
Sunday under any circumstances, mas
much as me had been lined 800 on Dec.
8 fol the same Offense. The municipal
court, however. has already held that "A
saOonkeeper is responsible for the ac-
tions of his employees, and will no doubt
rule the same in this case, so the whole
matter will rest with the validity or iii
validity OF the ordinance in force at the
time the complaint and arrest were
made. I'D
The arguments in the case will be
made next Wednesday afternoon at z
o'clock. Judge Frank &. Brooks will
champion the ordinance, and Assistant
Attorney Dunn Will oppose him. 1T is
pretty generally believed by attorneys
that the ordinance will be declared
Illegal

JOURNEYMEN PAINTERS.
They Voice Their Grievances in a
Mass Meeting

& mass meeting Of painters was held
in Labor Temple. last night 10 decide
whether or not they should 20 on
strike today. The ultimalum went forth
from the painters union some time ago
that 80 cents an hour was 10 be paid in
wages, else strike should b. de-
clared on April u. The boss paint
ers have simply ignored the union
and pooh DOohed the threat
Of a strike. The meeting last night was
a very lukewarIn affair. the painters
present being afraid 10 voice their sen
tlments on the question Of a strike.
Several speeches were made, in which
the bosses were damned up hill and
down for being tyrants and mOnOpOlists.
The scale of wages paid at present
ranges from % cents 10 271z
cents per hour, and while every
one In the meeting agreed
that 1t was not enough. only few OF
them cared TO come right out and ask
for 20 cents. Among those who spoke
was II. Il. Martin. who informed the
meeting that he had been a painter at
one time in his life. Heappreciated the
position and situation OF the journey
men painters, and, while he did not de-
sire TO urge them 10 strike. he recon-
mcnucd TIE union tdkll5 sOlnc ACTION as
unit.
The chairman of the meeting re-
quested rising vote on the 30 cents per
hour question and about half the audi
ence arose. Those hOremained seated
were therefore made the butts OF satiri-
cal remarks. 1t was limited that they
were willing to work less than II cents
an hour, or were perhaps afraid Of their
bosses. mnuV mQr4. enthusiastic
speakers were Mr.. O'Rourkc and Mr..
Williams. Both said that unless they
could get 30 cents an hour to-day they
would refuse 10 work at all. At this
point Of the meeting it was decided To
90 into executive session.
After an hours dcliberation 1t was
finally decided that 10 lmaugurate Il
strike today would be iIl-tlmed. A gen
eral demand for 80 cents an hour Will
be made, however, and another meeting
viii be held next Monday night.

BEFORE THE BAR.
ArraigRment OF the Indicted in
the District Court.


Yesterday morning the persons
against whom indictments had been re-
turned by the grand jury were ar
raigned in the criminal court room be-
fore Judge Smith. There were the
usual number Of morbid and curious
persons anxious to see how the accused
took their medicine. The arrangement
was one Of the quieteSt that has been
held i'll Il long time; not the slightest in
cdent occurred to cause the smallest
excitement
Frank Miller and Frank Clarity were
the first to be called To the front of the
bar OF Justice. They were charged with
entering the store of Christian II Faber,
at 204-206 hennepin avenue, and help
ing themselves 10 Il miscellaneous as
sortment of knives, raZors, revOlvers
and such articles. Both entered plea
of guilty, and will receive their SEN
tence this morning.
Frank Webster is good-looking
young man. and well-dreSsed, too, but
that did not prevent him from being
charged with attempting TO pass a
forged check for $40 on the llennepin
County Savings bank. He has retained
Marcus p. Hayne, and proposes to make
q fight for his liberty. James Russell
was arraigned Oh the same charge. and
will also contest going to the state prison
for an indefinite period.
Gust Williams said he was a piano
player. and that he was not guilty of
relieving John Engstrom of his personal
property. He was unable to engage AZ
attorney to defend him, so, at his re-
quest, his case was given to one of the
court attorneys. He will be tried on
Feb. 26.
Frank Anderson did not want an at
torney, as he intended to enter plea of
guilty to the charge of robbng the resi-
dence of William Miller of 500 worth Of
property. He will be sentenced to-
morrow.
A sad case came up when the charge
of larceny against Joseph Noyatue was
called. He is young man but twenty
years of age. lie stated to the court
that he was born in Minneapolis, and
that his father lived here, but that he
had shown no disposition to help him
since he was arrested for the crime. He
had no money of his own, and would
like to be defended, as he was not
guilty. The case was allowed to
go ever until this morning to
see if the young mans father would
supply him with money to carry on
ue1enSe. john hilOX, COIOTeu youth,
and Thomas Wilson, large, raw-boned
man, were called up together to answer
the charge of aSsaulting August Leck
on April and attempting 10 relieve
him of his personal property. They
were undefended, so the court appointed
an attorney to look after their case aud
set the 18th inst. as the day of trial.
William Firth is a middIe-aged man
who, it is thought, had decided per-
chance for other peoples property in
general. He was charged with stealing
$40 worth of clothing from Andrew B.
Peterson. He said he was broke, and
his voice was in the same condition
when he addressed the court. He will
be tried next week. A youth named
Carl Lindberg will also be tried next
week for stealing s. from Mabel Nelson
Not guilty was the reply made by John

Old Soldiers Who Kick.

The following telegram was sent to
President Harrison yesterday:
MrNNEAPoIIs, April Ito President Har
Tison: We. The undersigned old soldiers Of
the Northwest In view Of the unjust ana dis
eliminating rulings against the old soldiers
I'm The matter of fling upon lands In the
Wahpeton and Sisseton reservation, made by
Land Commissioner Garter, do hereby petit
ton your eXcelency for the removal Of said
commissioner from Office.
The signatures to this were all those
of old soldiers. Commissioner Carter
ruled recently that the land agents who
are handling the filing claims of old
soldiers who want piece Of the Sisse-
ton reservation should be allowed to
file but one claim at time. Some of
the Old soldiers in Minneapolis think
Carriers ruling unjust. Others say that
he did perfectly right, in that most OF
the old soldiers filing claims were doing
So for speculative purposes. Among
those who think so are Judge Rea and
Jake Merit.
