WANTS AN EQUAL DIVISION.

The Powers Dry Goods Co., Of st.
Paul, has commenced an action
against Riley & Temple, of Lake Crys-
tai, for the purpose of securing an
equal division of that firms assets
among the creditors. An order has
been secured from the court, COMPEL
ing Riley & Temple, J. G. Mobiles and
the National Citizens Bank to appear
July 3rd to show cause why the deed
to Mr.. Mobiles of the Lake Crystal
property should not be set aside, and
why the assignee should not pay the
creditors without releasing claims. 1t
is claimed by the plaintiff that Mr..
Mobiles is a director of the National
Citizens Bank and received a deed of
the property to pay preferred claim
of $4,000. 1t is also claimed that Ri
ley & Temple afterwards paid over
$4,000 in cash to the bank. The real
estate is said to be valued at 81, 900 to
$1,000. 1t is sought to divide the
property equally among the debtors
instead of having preferred claims.
The bank, it is claimed, was paid 1D
full, although not secured by mort
gage, while other debtors received
only sixteen cents on the dollar.
Hughes Bros. appear for the plaintiff.

The Man Found.

Since writing the above, the
wounded man has been found and
proves to be H. H. Mirum, who has a
room over w. B Walker & Sons har-
ness shop. He is single man, twen-
ty-nine years of age, and has been in
the employ of Ole Nicholson, the tail
or, for year past. He has always
borne a good reputation.
Mirum called upon DR.. M. Maryland
at useven o'clock TUESDAY having
bad flesh wound in his right cheek.
The ball entered at about the mouth
and passed through or under the
cheek, coming out near the temple.
1t was 81 calibre and did not leave
very dangerous wound, fortunately.
Dr. Maryland thinks that his patient
will be out before many days.
To FREE PRESS reporter, Mr.. Mi
rum stated that he was
not at the house for the purpose of
burglary. but that he had been calling
onthe servant girl and babe her 'good
night" at ten o'clock. He suspicioned
that he heard her go out of doors a
little later through this window,
though he did not see her, and he
therefore waited three and half
hours to see whether she wOulds go
back. He says that he was closing
the blinds to keep her out when he
was shot. AS matter of fact the
servant girl had not come down stairs
and was sleeping all this
time in her room as
usual. She was awakened by the man
at the window and did not know him
and gave the alarm as above stated.
If Mr.. Mirum was there on a peace
full mission, as he states, it was a
peculiar time of the night to be there
and he was engaged in peculiar
undertaking. The servant is highly
respectable girl and would not have
countenanced his actions, had she
known it was he. The affair will
doubtless be lesson to the young
man and others that it is dangerous
as well as unlawful to prowl about
private residences late at night.
Speaking of the matter, Mirum
said: after being shot my strength
gave way and l dropped down. Then
l recovered and went out into the
street and down to Warren creek,
where I washed my wound, which bled
freely. | went to my room and
remained there until l sent for doc.

Mirum would not inform DR.. May
land as to where he got his wound anC
seemed inclined to keep it secret
The fact leaked out by his not put
ting in an appearance at the tailorshoI
at the usual time. His cheek is badly
swollen, but the wound is not consid
cred dangerous. He is sober, indus
trious young man, and it is greatly tt
be regretted that the affair occurred

A CURIOUS CASE.
A Night Prowler Shot, but Escapes
and Leaves a Trail of Blood
Behind.
The rIan Proves to Be II. II. Mirum
and the Wound Is not
Dangerous.

A burglar attempted to enter Prof,
E. Searing's residence at about 1:30
Tuesday morning. He had unfas-
tened the shutters to the north kitch-
en- window, which was open, when
the noise awakened the servant girl,
Bertha Hanson, who occupied room
above the kitchen. She saw a man
standing at the window at work upon
it from the outside, and quietly noti-
fed E. f. Soaring, as his parents,
Prof. and Mrs Soaring, are in New
York. The subsequent movements
were made as quietly as possibly and
no light was struck. An inveStiga-
tion from an upper window showed
that the man had disappeared. The
window itself was then examined, land
it was thought that the would-be
burglar had gone. In moment or
two, however, he was seen in the win
dow and seemed to be about in the
act of entering, evidently thinking
the coast clear owing to the absence
of noise and light.
Mr.. Soaring fred a shot from his re-
volver at the miscreantand the latter
at once fell down, apparently back
ward. and lay for moment or two on
the grass. The wounded man then
began to groan as though in great
pain and picked himself up and stag
gered around the rear of the house
and along the south side to the front
gate, and turned down Fourth street
toward Warrens creek. He bled
freely, as was shown by the blood
clots in the grass where he fell and by
the trail of large drops left where he
passed along. He groaned deeply
every few seconds. A second shot
was fired as he lay on the ground, but
passed over the wounded man, and
was intended to terrify rather than
injure him.

every possible avenue by which the
man might have gone was searched
Before daybreak all of the surround
ing towns had been notified by tele
graph to detain any wounded strang
er. The police did excellent service
on the case.
The bloody trail could be followed
as far as Liberty street., and the mar
was seen by lady living on the stree
to pass down the hill toward Warren
creek, groaning as he went. At thi
point all trace was lost. Owing tt
the darkness good description
could not be secured. The bulle
probably struck the man in thu
head and perhaps severed an artery
