The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1894-05-10

The tremendous rain storm or cloud-eurst
which struck this city last evening was the most
severe ever known in this locality. Torrents OF
water two feet in depth ragged madly through
every street, sweeping everything before IL.
Sidewalks were torn up and scattered hlther ana
thither; streets were strewn with RUBBISH ana
filled with sand, mud and rocks; cellars were
flooded, and it seemed for time as II the eartn
was being visited by another deluge. me DAM
age to the city cannot at present be fully estlma-
ted, but, it is said, it will amount to thousands
of dollars, besides the tremendous losses ano
damage to the logging and lumber interests OF
this vicinity.

explanation. But their inference erred.
Bedel was so much an enthusiast that
he could almost rejoice because his three
stark sons had gained the prize of death
in battle. He was too brave to hate the
fighting men he had so often confronted.
But he abhorred the politicians, espe-
cially the intimate civic enemies on
whom he had poured scorn before the
armed struggle began.
More than that he hated Ezra Win
throp, the lawyer, arch-revolutionist, OF
their native town. who had never used

Ruth, the beloved and only child he had
left to his killed old age, had confessed
her love for Ezra Winthrop's son! They
had been boy and girl. pretty maiden
and bright stripping together, without
the Squire suspecting-he could not, even
now, conceive clearly so Wild thing as
their affection! The confession burned
In his heart like veritable fire-a raging
anguish OF mingled loathing and love.
He stood now gazing at Ruth, dumbly-
his hands clinched, head sometimes me-
chanically quivering, anger. hate, love,
grief, tumultuous In his soul,

POLICEMAN EBERT SCORED.
de Will Be Tried Before the Com
missioners Next Wednesday.
Charged with Brutality Beating
Young Martin Ryan.

Policeman Henry Ebert Of the De-
iancey street station, received lee
tire this morning that should leave a
lasting impression upon his memory
and tend to reform his brutal habits.
inspector McAvoy acting for Inspcc-
tor Williams. who is away on a week s
leave OF absence summoned Ebert to
aprear and explain, IL he could, his
reasons for assaulting and arresting
Martin Ryan, on his own doorstep las
Monday night.
1t was not the first time that Ebert
had been called upon to explain sim
liar conduct. He is possessed of a tenn
per that has got him into vast amount
Of trouble. He was advised this morn
ing to either exercise some restraint
over his temper or to prepare himself
for some other vocation.
The Commissioners say they are de-
termined to purge the Department Of
drunkards and vicious characters, and
the inspectors are expected to render
all the assistance in their power to
further this object.
Hence IT is that Ebert. strapping big
fellow. entered the Inspectors office
with some trepidation to-day. His ac-
cuser. a sickly-looking youth OF twenty
years, told his story In the presence Of
Ebert.
Ryan said that last Monday evening
he and two young friends were sitting
on the doorstep of his home at 302
Henry street, quietly discussing the
prospects of the Giants winning the
pennant, when Ebert came along

miserable puppy" replied the policeman,
as he dealt young Ryan singing
slap In the face, knocking him off the
steps. He then arrested Martin, and
took him to the station-house.
The next morning. In Essex Market
Court, Justice Simms discharged Ryan
and advised him to file charges with the
Commissioners against Ebert.
Ebert told the Justice that Ryan had
made game of him. as he was passing
and he arrested him.
Justice Simms told Ebert very frankly
that he didn't believe him. and that he
thought young Ryan told the plain, sim
pie truth.
Inspector McAvoy knew Eberts repu-
tation He has no sympathy for such
characters and told him so in the course
of an unusually severe lecture, in which
he expressed the hope that the penalty
would be as severe as 1t could con-
sistently be made.
Ebert will be tried by the Commission
ers next Wednesday.

Policeman Mailman, of the Elizabet h
