The Floyd trial has been postponed
for another week. The cases were set
for yesterday. but were reset for Feb.
26. Tim Byrnes, who appeared fol.
Mrs. Floyd and her two II stated,
that the defendants were anxious to
have the trial come off as soon as pos
sible, for the reason Mrs. Floyd's
health is anything but good.
James ROgan and John MOShik, the
highwaymen who were indicted for
holding up B. F. Browning, of Robbins
dale, were brought into the criminal
court room yesterday morning for trial.
Their attorney, A. p. LOOMS. advised
them to enter pleas OF guilty Of robbery
in the third degree, and so they did.
Judge Jamison surprised the w foot
pads by sentencing them to five years
in the state prison at hard labor. In
passing the sentence the judge re-
marked:
There Is a sentiment in this commu-
nifty against the crime in which you
were engaged-that of robbing a man
on the highway with a dangerous
weapon. The way in which you went
at the business demonstrates that you
have had at least some experience in

1t was evident neither MoShik nor
Rogan coincided with the judge as to
the justice of the sentence, for they
swore deep and long. They also cursed
their attorney, and averred he was a
hi of a lawyer"
Louis Canty, charged with stealing
silver goods. changed his plea from not
guilty of grand larceny to guilty of
petit larceny, and was sentenced to
ninety days in the county Jail.
The charge of perjury against Joe
Feeley, of Harris murder notoriety, was
dismissed yesterday on motion of the
county attorney.
William E. Roundy, who stole jewelry

at the city hospital for the time being.

Austin Got.

Austin Got.
s. Austin, whose life came very nearly
being snuffed out by the mistake OF a
druggist named c.. w. Lasher, whose
place of business is at 2 Lake street
west, has decidedrt that it was not whisky
that he asked for when he went into
the a%pothecary shop. 1t was stated in
the papers of yesterday morning that
he had gone to the store for whisky and
had been given laudanum instead. MI.
Lasher objects to the statement that
Mr.. Austin came after whisky, as does
the gentleman himself. The latter says
he does not drink. and the druggist says
he does not sell whisky. When Mr..
Austin went into the drug store he re-
needed something to ''warm him up'..
preparation fer "warming him up" and
by "a mistake and inadvertence" got in
a few d1opS of laudanum.
Last November IiaSher was arrested
on the charge of selling liquor without
a license and arraigned in the police
court to answer to the charge. The case
was dismissed. Yesterday the state
board of pharmacy began an investiga.
ton into his case. He is not a licensed
pharmacist, but has been allowed to
conduct the drug store because of hav-
ing a licensed pharmacist in his employ.
1t appears. however, that Mr.. LaSher is
the one who sold the warming up''
mixture to Mr.. Austin, aud that the
pharmacist was not in the store at the

JUDGE sTEELE's PLAN
Regarding the REORGANIZATION of
Insane People.

Regarding the REORGANIZATION of
Insane People.
Judge Steele, of the probate court, ap-
peared before the county commissioners
at their meeting yesterday morning and
urged upon them 60 take immediate
action in the matter of the insane peo-
pie sent to the various insane asylums,
and who, under the recent decision of the
supreme court. are likely to be shipped
back here at any time before re-exam-
nations can be held. The situation Is
a serious one, he said, and something
must be done by the commissioners to
avert the possible danger. There are
seventy-seven patients in Rochester and
st. Peter alone from Hennepin county.
and eleven of them have opposite their
names or the register "Might get along
at home" The judge said the patients
were likely to be shipped here within a
week, and that mean a cost of S35 for
each person. He was, therefore, in
favor of having the matter attended to
at the aSylums. for then the matter
could be disposed Of at a cost of not
more than $40 for each person. He
said:
1.-The best way l can think of would
be to have the county attorney. or one
of his assistants. go down there armed
with all the information we possess,
subpoena the physicians and attend
ants there, file a complaint in each case
with the probate court at both St. Peter
and Rochester and proceed to have the
examinations made as oon as possible.
] think the whole thing could be done
in a day or two at each place."
1t was decided to refer the matter to
a committee consisting of the probate
judge, county attorney and the ways
and means committee. There is
scarcely any doubt but the judges plan
will be accepted.
