trolley from theswire, and in the dark
the whole gang pitched onto the conduc-
tor. He was game, however, and with
the aid of the motoneer succeeded IN
keeping the crooks at bay until the
/ neighbors came to his assistance, they
being aroused by the cries for help.
The car finally proceeded on it's way, but
was sorry looking sight, nearly all the
| windows having been broken by fusi-
lade of missiles. It was found that the
conductor had been cut in the back OF
the head and a physician from Union
Park was called on to dress his injuries.
There is every reason to believe that the
entire gang will be arrested as they are
we'll known to the st. Paul police.
w. H. Place, tho attorney, has begun
four suits for Mrs. Bessie I. Van Doren
in the district court against William FL.
Hinkle, Washhurn-C Crosby Company,
Conover, Geo. e Co, and the Minneapo-
lis Flour Manufacturing Co., to recover
1900 bushels of wheat or it's value. In
1889 Mrs Van Doren rented her farm in
Traverse county to James Howell for
two years. Howell was to have one
half the crop. In the fall of 1890, with
out Mrs. Van Doren's knowledge, Howell
threshed the 80 crop and shipped it to
G. B. Kirkbride & Co., commission mer-
chants, for sale. Kirkbride sold the
grain to the defendants and afterward
Howell took the receipts and, abandoning
his family, left for parts unknown. The
legal question is whether or not Howell
had any title, right or authority to dis
pose Of the grain and whether Klrkbride
could convey either.
An attachment { II a fair burlesque
dancer and the train Of circumstances
! following it eventuated in a warrant fer
A Kan5rowitz, on the charge of forgery.
Kantrowitz, who is we'll connected in the
city, went to the Pence a few weeks ago,
| when the Mable Snow Company was
there. He was smitten and when the
week was closed he followed his love to
Grand Forks. where he went broke. Be-
ing slightly acquainted with J. A. Ross,
an architect there, he persuaded MIR.
Ross to indorse a $50 draft. In due
time the draft returned to the indorser
raised from $50 to $3.50; and Ross had to
pay it. He notified the police, however,
and Sunday last Inspector Lawrence, OF
Minneapolis, and Inspector Kenealy, OF
St. Paul, arrested him at the Shades sa-
loon in that city. Ross is said to have
sincere sympathizers in Henry Abra-
hams, of West Superior, $3.50, and Peter
son & Anderson, 223 Second street south,
800. The complaint was withdrawn
later as friends paid the money.
The Police Relief Assoc iation gave
their second annual ball at the West
hotel last Wednesday night, and it was
decided SUCCESS. The guardians of the
peace never looked better, or wore their
buttons and stripes so proudly They
had reason to be proud, too, for were they
not holding the largest and probably the
mos5 successful ball ever held at the
West hotel Every ticket that was taken
up meant so much money added to the
exchequer of the association. The re-
ception committe, the ushers, the ticket
takers and the floor managers were all
members of the police force. Mayor
Winston was present and made short
address. The supper, while not elabor-
ate, was something attractive. 1t was
served in the ladies' ordinary and the
corridor adjoining. Two hundred and
fifty people we're seated at time, and
the tables had to be cleared about three
times. In all 1000 people must have
dined The dancing was kept UP until
early Thursday morning; in fact it was
not until after midnight that enough Of
the crowd had gone home to make the
dancing comfortable. The programme
consisted of 21 numbers, Thyle's orches-
ira furnishing the music.
The Crusaders Of the Immaculate
Conception parish are enthusiastic over
the prospect of having new hall. They
expect that with the opening of this hall
! which will take place March 18th, new
era will dawn on them. The hall will
be fitted up to great extent as the Old,
the double bars and trapeze of the gym
nasium being the exceptions. The In
dian clubs, dumb bells, chest weights,
and parallel bars will occupy prominent
places. Father Byrne has kindly prof
fered his assistance to defray the ex-
penses. At Tuesdays meeting the re-,
cording secretary, Harry j. Murphy, pre-
sented his resignation and James 2. Fin
negan was elected to I'LL the position.
County President Manly visited the So
ciety and expressed himself as highly
