fhe Sabbath stiffness that we read
about in poetry and story did not pre-
vail in st. Paul yesterday. The crihi-
nal was not taking rest, aud conse-
Quently there we're some crimes CON-
mitted. though nothing came to Tie
surface during the day of an alarming
nature. There was cutting scrape III
the early morning, an attempted bur
glary shortly after noon, ana lalef
woman reported a coat stolen.
The cutting scrape occurred at ~
West Tenth in a boarding house kept
by Julius Mayer. and the parties were
Julius Hauptman and Bernard Braudt,
the latter being the one to lose the
blood. They and man named For
maneck are furrierS and pards, ana
have travelled over Europe and the
United States together. They were
about town drinking until after a.
m, when they concluded to 90 to bed.
Formaneck rooms on Fourth street, but
went to sleep in the room OF MS 1rlends.
Hauptman, who is hunchback. occu-
pies a single bed in an alcoVe, Whlle
Brandt has a double bed in the main
portion of the room. The little fellow
went to bed first. and the others sat
talking. He wanted them TO put out
the light, he says, and &c TO bed so ne
could get to sleep, and Brandt refused,
telling him TO keep still. From THIS a
quarrel started. of which neither Is
able or willing to give eorEeet ae-
count. At any rate. when 1t was over
Brandt had a hole in his head and the
huuchback was covered with his friends
blood. Brandt was knocked down
by a blow on the head, but
says he can't tell whether he
was cut with some weapon
or fell against something. As he is
twice the size of the little fellow. 1t
seems impossible that he was knocked
down without the use of some weapon,
but none was found. The hole III his
head had opened small artery, and he
came near bleeding to death before he
could be taken to Dr.. Marchand's office.
where the wound was dressed. lie was
then taken to tie city hospital. and Will
be all right iii few days. Sergeant
Pottgieser went to the room and found
Hauptman i'll bed, his clothing covered
with blood, and took him to a cell at
the central station. where he was
charged with assault with intent to do
bodily harm. He had S33, and lot of
furriers' union documents. Formaneck
was not locked up, as Brandt said that
ne had nothing to do with the row.
Last evening Sergeant PottgieSer ar
rested FOrmaneck. who had $500 in his
pockets, and charged hlm with assault
with dangerous weapon. Formaneck
tells the same story as did Brandt-that
he had nothing to do with the row. He
said they were all drinking in the room
and joking each other, as old friends
will. Brandt. in fun, took the
hunchback down and was choking
Inn lightly. Formaneck told him
TO quit Oh he would hurt the little fell
low. Brandt got up. and Formaneck
started to uHdress. a moment later he
heard Brandt say. "What is the matter
with my htad?" and. turning around.
lie saw the blood flowing in stream.
He walked out and went to his own
room. At the hospital last night Brandt
was reported coming on all right, but
weak from loss of blood.
