Penasyivsnis Man who aas
spent Fortune In Tolla

One-LesEed PcnnsyIvsnis Man who Has
spent a Fortune In Tolia
Speaking OF bridges.
One time there was one-legped
man who lived in kittanning, Pa,
and who had fairly comfortable
married sister across the river in
Williamsburg. He had lived along
the rivers OF Pennsylvania all his
life, and had worked at the modest
but honorable occupation OF shoe
maker, but who had in every instance
had some tie on the farther side OF
the river whi h drew him over the
bridge evenings and Sundays and hol-
idays
OF course in Pennsylvania all the
bridges are toll bridges ana even foot
passengers are required TO contribute
at least cents every time they
cross
This shoemaker had observed that
a large numbc o! men In the hum
bier walks OF life wore one leg instead
OF two, as was the case In other
states Indeed. he was quite con-
soied with his Joss by the reflection
that peg-legged men were quite the
fashion.
One evening he started across the
bridge as usual, and when he came to
the toll-taker's lodge in the center he
stumbled over the roadway, dropped
his little fee and went on.
Funny thing" he mused II
never paid my toll yet but | had TO
walk across the roadway TO the toll
taker My path seems always To be
on the wrong side OF the bridge. 1
should think now and then toll
takers office should be on my side OF
the bridge"
But he went on, visited his sister
and started back. On the return
trip he met another peg-legged man
going over to kittanning, and the
two walked together. When they
came TO the lodge the shoemaker
fshed up two pennies and starred
across the dusty roadway
Where you going:" asked the
other peg-legged man, halting and
looking curiously at his companion.
"Going to pay toll"
why, you don't have to-"
What"
"You don't have to. Onc.legged
men don't have TO paw toll in Penn
sylvania The law always exempts
them. 1t is only able-bodicd men
who pay toll"
The shoemaker looked long and
earnestly at the wise man; then con-
cluded he would try it. He walked
past the lodge watched the keeper,
saw grin spread over that pig iron
face, and then burst out
"And have been paying toll on
this bridge for the past four years,
four times A week! Jerusalem, what
fool I've been"
"Yes," agreed his companion.
"And what is worse" ;" he resumed
mournfully. sis that have always
been on the wrong walk, and have
had to cross over"
Yes, you're in hard luck"
But that didn't console him. Moth
ing did. He kicked himself all the
way TO Kittanning with his peg leg.
He took daily trips TO his ster's
home. He found rooms in Williams
burg and board in Kittanning-made
the trip six times a day. He went
over and back whenever he had time,
just TO even things up. But he never
could, to the day Of his death. get
back the money he had needlessly
played against a Pennsylvania toll
bridge.
There's hard luck for you.

FUEL FOR THE STATE.
STATE COMMISSION AWARDS
THE CONTRACT.
John Goodnow'S Scheme, That
Was a Success Last Year,
Failed This Year.

Gov. Nelson. State Treasurer Bob
Letter and State Auditor Biermann, who
compose the state commission TO award
fuel contracts for the state institutions,
met yesterday afternoon and made the
award, mostly to the N northwestern Fuel
company. A great many bids were
submitted, and before the meeting a
tabulatiou of the lowest bids
was made for the commissioner of
the commission. The Northwestern
Fuel company learned by some means
that John Goodnow, the willy Repuh-
lican politician of Minneapolis, had
slipped in an after statement, setting
forth that he would furnish coal at the
cut of 25 cents per ton under the lowest
bid for hard coal and seven cents per
ton under the lowest bid for soft coal.
1t is stated that Goodnow captured the
contract last year by this method. How
ever, the Northwestern Fuel company
didn't propose to be "shucked" out
another year that way, and SO Mr..
Saunders and Mr.. Booth, his manager
OF the sales department. were both
present. The commission gave them a
hearing behind closed doors.
At the conclusion of the meeting the
commission announced that ii had
thrown out Mr.. Goodnow's proposition.
The accepted bids are as follows:

FARMER SHOOTS A BOY.
BOY PICKING PLUNS NEAR THE
FISH HATCHERY.
Farmer Empties Two Barrels Of a
Shotgun Into Him-Das.
tardIy Outrage.

Information of a dasta rdly outrage
has just come to light which should
meet with proper punishment by the
authorities.
Warner Boen,a fourteen-year-ol Ian,
is at the city hospital with the entire
left side of his body filled with shot.
He states that Monday afternoon he, in
company with another boy, went to
farm in the neighborhood Of the fish
hatchery, and while there climbed
plum tree and helped himself 10 some
of the fruit. The tree stood on the pub
lie picnic grounds, on land which is not
enclosed by any fence, consequently
which might be reasonably considered
public property. While up in the tree
a farmer, said to be man named
Thielen, ran out of nearby house
armed with a shotgun. He fired one
barrel while the boy was still in the
tree, and when the boy came down and
started to run away he fired the second
barrel. Both charges took effect, liter
ally covering the boys body from the
shoulders to the feet. The boy is an
orphan. His father died some years
o,and his mother deserted him, leaving
him to make living as best he can.
There is considerable Indignation over
the affair.

there WAS case of smallpox at that
place that had come from 541 Laurel
avenue, st. Paul, and requesting. him TO

and Health Officer Sinks repaired at

found the following state of facts:
The house is occupied by S. l.. Bird.

On July 81 Mr.. Birds family arrived
home from the East via Duluth; July so
Ralph Bird was taken sick with an
eruptiye disease. On Aug. Ii, two weeks

the case had been seen by DIR. Daniels,

himself, and was without question a
case of continent smallpox.
According to the statements of Mr..
and Mrs. Bird to DR.. Hoyt, a large num-
Der of persons have been visiting and
have gone to aud from their home on
Laurel avenue ever since the disease
made its appearance. DR.. Hoyt has
taken active measures to ascertain as
nearly as possible the names and where
abouts of the persons who have been
exposed in this way, and will have them
vaccinated as rapidly as possible. All
other necessary precautions will be
taken at once. At the request of DR..
Hewitt, DIR. Hoyt has ordered two tents
to be sent to Belle Plalne with which to
quarantine the case there and those in
charge of same. Dr.. Hewitt arrived in

EFFORT FOR THE MURDER.

Feeling That Their Deed Was
Cold-Blooded and That They

Rev. Niclaus Bolt, of the German
Presbyterian Bethlehem church, Is in
dustriously circulating petition for the
Communication of the sentence of Ermisch
and WoDnigkeit to imprisonment.
These are the two men under sentence
of death for the murder of William
LindhOff. Rev. Bolt is not meeting with
as much success as he wishes. He had
an interview with the county attorney
yesterday, but did NOT secure his sigma
ture to the petition. Mr.. Butler said
atterward that he had no criticism to
offer upon the action of the court and
jury in sentencing the men. He believed
the men had been property and justly
convicted of malicious murder, and he
believes that no interference should be
had with the sentence
DR.. A. b. Ancker, the city physician,
also refused to sign the petition. He
testified about the time of the trial that
he believed the men to have been fully
responsible for their acts, and he now
believes they were justly sentenced.

FREAK OF A LUNATIC.
THOUGHT THAT SHE HAS
STOLEN THE LITTLE GIRL.
Martha ID. Ennis Called on the
Mayor and Made Harangues on
Streets-Now Locked Up.

Martha D. Ennis, demented young
woman, succeeded in keeping things
lively about st. Paul yesterday. At au
early hour Mayor Smith received a
caller at his residence. When he per-
sonally answered the call he found
young woman, apparently twenty-eight
years of age, vino stated that she de-
sired to hold lecture to the strikers,
and address them on the late troubles.
AS 1t was necessary to secure Market
hall, she had called early. Besides, she
wanted to have the mayor go with her
or give her all order on the leading dry
goods store for an outfit which she de-
sired. She said that she would tele-
graph for money at once and would
repay all.
Mayor Smith saw at once that the
woman was demented, and told her to
go to the court house where he would
attend to her wishes. She then left the
mayors house and was next seen Oh an
interurban car. on which she delivered
quite harangue, to the amusement of
large crowd. About noon she went to
the Western Union telegraph Office and
sent telegram asking that $500 be sent
her at once. Later In the day tele-
gram was received by Chief of Police
Clark. dated at Marceiine, Mo-. saying:
Have just received telegram from
Miss Martha ID. Ennis saying that she
would lecture to the strikers of st. Paul
on the recent trouble. She must be de-
ranged. Please see her, care for her
and wire me what is done.

Detective Meyerding was at once sent
Out to find her and located her at the
union depot. She had in her company
little girl, who said that her name was
Rutledge, and who kept constantly cry
ing for her grandma. The child is
about nine years old, and evidently was
carried away from some place by the
lunatic. Detective Meyerding took both
to the sheriff's Office and sent for
DR.. Ancker. While waiting for the
arrival of the doctor the woman
succeeded in getting out into the corri-
dor. where she soon attracted large
gathering. She talked wildly about all
manner of things, and when the officers
finally attempted to take her to the
office, she made desperate struggle to
get away. Finally. by sIratageIn, she
was induced to enter carriage. and
was taken to the city hospital, where
she was cared for last night pending
further adyices from her friends.
