NOT THE LOW BIDDER.
A Newspaper War Over the De
linquent Tax List Pub
iiCation.
The Herald Takes Out an Injunc-
ton Against the Daily
News.

Judge Kerr yesterday afternoon
granted a temporary Injunction against
allowing the st. Paul News to publish
the delinquent, tax list The applica
ton for an injunction was made by P.
ID. Scannell, who is manager of the Her
aid. and named County Auditor burns
and the board Of county commissioners
as defendants. Complaint is made that
the News was not the lowest bidder for
the work, as it's bid was seven and
seven-eighths cents per description,
while the Herald bid one ana seven
eighths cents lower. 1t is claimed tn at
the law requires the letting or county
printing to the lowest bidder. The
order made by Judge Kerr is as follows:
On the annexed complaint, duly veri-
fed by the affidavit of the plaintiff, let
the defendant, James Il. Burns, show
cause at special term of this court, to
be held at the court house i'll the city of
st. Paul, in said county and state. on
Saturday, the 2lst day of January, 1898,
at 10 o'clock in the forenoon Of said day,
or as soon thereafter as counsel can be
heard. why an Injunction should not be
issued restraining him from giving the
delinquent tax list and notice alleged
and described IN said complaint to the
newspaper known as 1.-The st. Paul

ton, pursuant to the resolution de
scrjbed and alleged in said complaint,
passed by said board of county commits

held Jan. 2, 1893, awarding said print
ing and designating said newspaper,
! the said st. Paul Daily News. as the

AN EARLY CALL.
Mrs. Francisco Pottgieser Strick
en- Down in Her Prime of life

Mrs. Francisco Pottgieser Strick-
en- Down in Her Prime of Life.
The most unwelcome of all guests, the
angel of death. invaded the happy home
of Nicholas Pottgieser on Saturday
morning last, and when the hour of de-
parture came the spirit of his wife,
Francisco, took its flight with the shad-
owy form. Mrs. Pottgieser was a sturdy
German woman, born in Austria In
July, 1850, and came to this country
when but seven years OF age. In 1910
sue married Nicholas Pottgieser, and,
although they had no children, their
happy home life and their almost un-
ceasing conpanionship i'll all walks of
life was source OF comment and con-
gratulaions among their many friends.
Mrs. POttgieSer Was woman who was
always to the fore i'll events of
public or private affairs among
those of her natOnality,as we'll as being
often called upon to assist i'll other
affairs by her work and her presence.
She was first taken i'll in October last,
and since that time has gradually sue
cumbed to a complication of diseases
that baffied the skill of the best phySl-
clans in the city. All the friends and
relatives of the family are here from
Chicago, and all day yesterday hun
dreds Of people visited the stricken
home and rendered words of sympathy.
The funeral will take place this after
noon at 2 O'Clock from the residence,
375 Wabasha street. and the services
will take place at Christ church at $3.50.
The Junior Pioneers, of which Mr.
Pottgieser is member, will attend in
large numbers as a mark OF sympathy
and respect for their brother Junior.

A FIRM FIRED OUT.
Brown & Knebel Removed From
the Union Depot
Office.
The Summary Action Is UneX-
planned, and Creates
SurDriSa.

The surprising information came out
yesterday that the directors or the
union depot company have re-
moved Brown & Knebel from the
ticket Office in the depot ana placed w.
G. Sawyer, auditor of the company, in
charge. Why it was done seems to be
somewhat enveloped in mystery. All
the explanation offered by the directors
is that "a change was necessary" Supt.
Z. B. BrunSon expressed surprise at the
change. and merely said that he under
stood the two gentlemen had resigned.
Mr.. Sawyer is given no assistant, and
the only explanation given for this is
that an assistant S not needed.
Hints are afloat that the change was
brought about through jealousy OF roads
entering the depot, and the suspicion
that the agents showed some faVOritiSm.
Two or three months back, 1t is said. an
investigation of the affairs Of the ticket
Office was begun. but no one has been
found who says this had anything to do
with the change.
Brown Il Knebel have had charge
of the office twelve years. and for all the
public was able to see they had life
lease of the place. Their removal after
such long service is naturally source
of much surprise and comment. All
sorts of rumorS are likely to be about,
and of course there will be much exag-
geratlon of the matter. The most popu-
lar belief is that some of the railways
became suspicious and demanded
their removal. This is complaint in
union depots, and often good men are
forced out on mere suspicion.
1t is said that Brown & Kuebel were
themselves taken by surprise. learning
of their removal Saturday evening when
they were notified TO Immediately check
up their books and turn the business
over to Mr.. Sawyer. The thing was
done so quietly that no outsider discoy-
cred the change until yesterday.
A prominent railroad official ventures
the remark that it is always the case
that railways entering union depot
watch the depot officials constantly. and
if they discover the slightest thing they
can construe into favoriteism they i'm
mediately put that construction upon it.

THE BILL is READY
For the appropriation for tn
State Historical Society.

For the Appropriation for tn g
State Historical Society.
The state historical society and the
executive council met IN annual session
last night in the society rooms in the
capitol. There being no vacancies in
any Office and the regular elections Oc-
curing but once in three years, no cleo
ton will be held until next We ar.
The meeting was presided over by eX-
Gov. Ramsey, president Of the socie ty,
and fifteen other members were present.
1t was decided to memoria!ize the
legislature to appropriate $4,000 to the
use Of building suitable quarters for
the society rooms, and bill was pre-
scented, already drafted, covering he
points made in the memorial. This bill
will be presented to the legislature with
the memorial. The substance Of the
bill and Of the memorial is that the su III
named is to be appropriated. to be used
in case the state capitol is not to be built
at once. The present quarters OF the So
ciety are inadequate. 1t is stipulated
that none of the money is to be used
until the end of the year 1894. The
society desires to secure site and erect
its own building. In consideration for
the appropriation the society proposes
to relnQuiSh or waive its right to the
present site Of the capitol in case the
same is removed from St. Paul at any
time. Attention is called to the TACT
that the state constitution provides that
in case the capitol shall ever he removed
from st. Paul, then the grounds and
buildings shall revert TO the historical
society.
Secretary j. Fletcher Williams read
his annual report, as we'll as that of
Treasurer Fl. 2. Upham. Tine report of
the former called attention to the lack
of room for the needs Of the society.
There are now $1,000 volumes in the
rooms of the society, including an ac-
QUESTION of 6,000 volumes during the
year. The acquisitions of the past veal,
embrace the bequest of the library of
Gen. Sbley and the gift by his estate OF
numerous documents and papers. These
have not yet been assorted and placed in
the rooms for inspection.

A committee of the railway firemen
of the Northern Pacific is holding daily
sessions at the Sherman house revising
the time schedule of firemen. 1t is the
annual meeting, and there is nothing
serious in their work. One of the MEM
bers said last evening that the pu6lica-
ton in all evening paper to the effect
that the fremen had a grievance against
the road which is likely to bring about a
strike is wholly untrue. In fact. the
only truth, he said, which the article
contained was the fact that the commit
tee was in session revising the schedule.
This work he says is performed annu-
ally. The question Of wages is not and
will not be considered. 1t is possible,
he says, that in some cases the request
will be made that the hours be short
ened little, and he thinks there is no
doubt whatever that the request will be
granted by the road. There is no dis
agreement between the firemen and
the Northern Pacific, and no prospect
of one,

Bold Effort to Rob the Resi-

Armstrong.

Shuts the Door on the
Bandits,
The Historical Society Frames
It's Bill for an Appropri-
alton.
Moves Toward Economy
Adopted by the County
Congress.

Shortly before o'clock Sunday even
ing the police at headquarters received
telephone message from Mrs. Jane M.
Armstrong, 81 West Fifth street, that
robbers had entered her residence and,
pointing a revolver at her, demanded
money. Chief Detective McGinn, Capt.
Schweitzer and Lieut.. Boerner hast
ened to her house. She told them
that while she was in the sit
ting room she heard knock at
the front door. She was somewhat
alarmed by 1t, and instead of answering
the call she turned the light down. A
moment later she saw two men pass the
side window of the house on their way
to the back door. One Of them entered
and pointed revolver at her, at the
same time demanding money. She told
him she had very little, but he could
have that. He then commanded her to
walk outside with him. She re-
piled that it was too cold
for an old person like her to
go out. Then he told her to sit down
on the sofa. She did as commanded,
and then the fellow stepped out to
where his partner stood. She sprang
to the door and locked it against him.
Then she ran out the front door and
across to the drug store and telephoned
for police help. The police say that her
