BUT HE FIRED A SHOT.
Alfred Weese on Trial for Boring
Theodore Newell.

The case of The State against Alfred
A. Weese was taken UP in the criminal
court yesterday morning. The case is
the result of jealousy on the part of
Weese. The defendant is young man.
inclined to be good-looking, with full.
round features and short. black, curly
hair. Most of his time during the trial
was put i'll in attempting to curl his
moustache, which was too short to curl.
There is woman In the case, as usual.
Miss Bertha Olson is her name.
She was a servant girl in the
family of Theodore f. Newell.
Weese HAD been paying attention to her,
when Newell, for some cause or other,
took dislike to him and ordered him
not to come around his place again. All
the parties interested iii the affair lived
at that time in the vicinity of Lake Har-
riet. WeeSe had been in the habit of
taking Miss Olson out skating in the
evening. He usually left bis skates at
Nawell'S house. On the evening OF Dec.
% of last year, about 7:30 o'clock, he
called for them. Newell met him at the
door. Some words passed between
them. resulting in Weese challenging
Newell to go out into the street.
In making his way to the street Weese
as he fell and fired at Newell, the ball
taking effect in his back and passing
through his body. The wound was
considered serious. and Newell had a
narrow escape with his life. AS soon
as the police heard of the matter an
officer was sent after WeeSe. He met
him coming towards town. WeeSe re-
marked to the officer as he was placed
under arrest that he was on the way to
give himself up.
Newell was the first witness placed
on the stand by the state, and told the
story substantially as given above, all
reference to the Olson girl being avoid
ed as much as possible. 1t is evidently
the intention TO make her an unim-
portant figure in the tragedy.
In the afternoon Weese was put on
the stand. Up to that time he was ap-
parently the most disinterested person
in the room. During the morning pro-
ceedingS he often glanced over the spec
tators and recognized friends in the
crowd with a smile and bow. He is
a well-educated youth, and told his
story in a plain, straightforward and
convincing manner. He said he was
not in the habit of carrying revolver,
and only had it in his pocket that day
as he had been shooting at mark with
friend. He gave an entirely different
coloring to the affair than did the prose-
cution. a large stick of wood was
shown in court which the defense
claimed the man Newell picked up and
attacked Weese with. He said he fired
three times in the air totrighten Newell
before shooting at him. A large num-
Der of witnesses were sworn to prove
that he had always borne a good repu-
tation and was not of Quarrelsome dis
pOsition

cuwarden, in Frlesand, seventy miles
from Amsterdam, after a day of COM
paratlvely good behavior, the mob rose
In the night and marched through the
main streets stOning the public
buildings and houses Of prominent
citizens. When the police sought
to interfere they were met with
determination by the rioters, and there
was some desperate fighting. The
troops had to be finally called upon,
whereupon the mob dispersed. Great
surprise was felt at any outbreak in
Leeuwarden; but it is q manufacturing
town and full of laborers, whose feel
ngs have been aroused more by the
festivities of the day than by any evil
intent. 1t is noticeable that DO firearms
were used, and no one was killed or
seriously injured.
Italy suffered more from the agitation
than any other country except Belgium.
There the police and troops had to cover
the whole country. All the trouble &c
CURED in Obsure places where the police
or military were absent or i'll weak

THEY WONT WORK.
The Steam and Gasfitters Have.
Gene on a Strike.

The union journeymen steam and gas
filters in the city went on a strike yes
terday. The journeymen demanded a
nine-hour day, time and half for over
time, double pay for Sunday work and
expenses when on out of-town jobs.
The bosses granted the first three of
these demands, and allowed 50 expenses
for the filters and S1.50 for the helpers.
The men also demand horizontal scale
for helpers of sl.75 day for the first
six months and 81 thereafter, and only
union men to be employed. The bosses
agreed to give union men the prefer
ence. but refused to adopt the scale. So
the journeyman are on a strike.
The bosses say they have been given
no notice, and think the men will come
back to work today. The regular meet
ing of the Twin City Master Filters
association occurs at the Budllders'
Exchange this morning, when the situ-
alton will be fully discussed. The

On That Plea Normanna Hall Is
Not Taxable Property.
At the meeting of the county commits
sioners yesterday a petition was pre-
sented by members of the NOrnanna
society asking that the property at the
corner of Second avenue south and
Third street be exempt from taxation.
The appeal is made on the strength of
ruling by Judge Pond on behalf of the
full bench last year III the matter of the
Turner society. The bench decided at
that time that the property was exempt
on the ground that it was educational.
The petition presented yesterday has
the approval of City Attorney Russell
and City Assessor Plummer. 1t is
claimed that several classes receive in
structions III gymnastics there, as well
as several painting and singing classes
being instructed. The commissioners
granted the petition.
A petition was also presented by the
Minneapolis Land and Investment com-
pany requesting the right of way from
the westerly boundary of Lake street to
the city. to and through St.LouiS Park,
for the purpose of running an electric
railway to the latter point. The line

TODAY'S CONVENTIONS.
1t Is Expected That They Will
Move as if Oiled.

No stirring scenes are anticipated nt
the Hennepin county and Fifth district
conventions today. The only chance for
fun would lie in the possibility of Henry
+. Brown making an effort to secure a
place on the national delegation, but
Brown was so effectually sat upon in
the primaries that there is aOt one
chance in thousand of his venturing
to make fight in the convention.
Some of the young Republicans may Try
to force a national delegateship upon
Bob Evans. but Evans has been for
Snider all along, and he will not allow
any such work. 1t is thought that Il. ID.
Russell. the city attorney. will be Sc
lected chairman, and &. K. Cooley sec
retary. The Flambeau club is backing
Cooley, and that may defeat him, as
City Clerk c. f. IIaney would take the
place if asked TO. lie made good sec
retary two years ago. But the cOnven-
tiOn will move easily. The slate will 30

For a sprained Ankle.

The damage suit of Mrs.Jennie Wins

before Judge Canty. Last October Mrs
Winslow was walking down First ave-
nue. north in the evening with a friend,
when she stepped into a low place in
the walk. She was thrown to the
ground with considerable violence and
sprained her ankle. The defense
claims she failed to give proper atten-
ton to the injury after the accident.and
that it was much worse on that account
than if it had been properly attended to

Strengthening Food for Invalids.

In many acute diseases, and in the
convalescent's struggle for health,
proper food is of even more value than
medicine. Physicians unite in stating
that lactated food, which can be pre-

easily digested and has the strength
giving and muscle-forming properties
of the best beef. In several recent
medical reports, this food is given as

In regard 10 the LIQUOR law, he called
