1t was then that he committed the

It issprobable that a very retired ana
respectable neighborhood in the, vicinity
of Central park was the auditorium for
some acrobatic language last evening on
the arrival home of young professional
man from the office. On the way up the

'SLASHEO HIS THROAT.
ALEXANDER PUKXiLA EVIDENTLY
TIRED OF LIVING.


That Was tina Place Selected for
His Death scene-Found by the
Janitor, Unconscious and Cow
cred With Blood-A CHASTITY
Spectacle-He Threw His Let
tiers Away.
Alexander Pukkila, Finlander,
made up his mind last evening to take
leave OF this earth. He went into one
OF the closets in the basement of the
union depot, and first emptied his peck
cts Ut all letters, which he threw into
the porcelain receptacle. Then he
pulled out knife and slashed it across
his throat. A few minutes later, as the
janitor of the building was making his
rounds preparatory to beginning the
nights cleaning. he heard gurrling
sound in one of the closets. Opening
the door he looked in, and saw, to his
horror, a man sitting on the seat with
blood running over his clothes to the
floor.
The janitor touched the man. pushing
HIM backward. This revealed a horrible
sight. AS the head went back huge,
gaping cash in the throat revealed it
self. from which the blood spurted.
There was pool of blood on the floor
and the seat was despatched with it.
Apparently the man was dead, but upon
being touched by the janitor a horrible
gurgling gr0an emanated from the
mans lips. The Janitor hastily notified
the police, and the central station patrol
wagon hurried to the depot.
The wounded man was unconscious
when he was carried on stretcher to
the wagon. The wound in his throat
bled profusely, and the police were
afraid he would bleed to death before
the city hospital could be reached.
Once there, however. the physicians
got to work and sewed up the wound,
with the result that at late hour last
night it was reported he was resting
easily and the chances were he would
recover. He was still unconscious,
however.
From the letters fished out from the
closet it was learned his name was AL.
eXander Pulkila at that at one time at
any rate. his nome had been at Trout
Creek, Mich. The letters were ad-
dressed to Box los, that city. The let
tiers were in the language of Finland.
The gash IN his throat was terrible
one and penetrated clear to the jugular.
Nobody appears to know who the man
is. aside from the letters, and no cause
can be assigned for his desperate act.
He was atlired like prosperous work
ingman. his shoes being in good repair
and his linen clean.

a UNIQUE DEAL.
A Good Roads School Propos ed
for the State Fair.

Among the novel experiments to be
given test at the forthcoming state
fair is good roads school, arrangements
having been recently consummated be-
tween \. b. Chute, president of the
State Road Improvement ASSOCIATION,
anu the officers of the State Agricul-
tural society.
The plan embraces complete prac-
teal exhibition and discussion of road
making OH the state fail grounds during
the annual fair mex. September. There
viii be three general divisions of the
plan. An exhibition of road-Inaking
machinery in actual operation: a dis
play OF model roads OF various materials
and styles of construction; and series
of lectures or talks on the road subject
in general, illustrated by the exhibits of
machinery and model roadbedS.
For the demonstration of the work of
grading and other road apparatus. the
actual construction Of a new roadway
inside the present race track is planned.
This will be divided into sections which
will be assigned To such manufacturers
or dealers as may wish to compete, and
awards Will be made to the machines
doing the best work-all, of co urse. uD-
der suitable regulations. and with COM
petent judges in attendance.
For the second part of the pian,pa
large tract will be set aside and model
roads constructed. There will be dirt.
gravel, brick. asphalt, macadam and
perhaps other plans of construction and
the exhibits will be So arranged that the
different stages of work may be exam
ined by the spectators. These displays
will all be prepared IN advance, but it is
quite possible that some exhibitors may
wish TO Show work going oD-for ill.,
stance the asphalt laying. 1t is expected
that the railroads will transport ma
terials free for these exhibits, aud many
manufacturers will contribute.
In the third division, o. G. Gregg. of
the farmers institute. will cooperate.
and undoubtedly a large interest will
be manifested in the explanations.

IKE BRADY CASE.
The Arguments We're Made b
fore Judge JamisOn.

The Arguments We're Made Be.
$50 fore Judge JamisOn.
The case ofWIlliam Brady, the fire.
man, tried a week ago. was argued yes
terday morning and submitted on briefs
to Judge Jamison. Assistant City At
torney Dunn conducted the arG ument
for tue city, He maintained that Brady
was regularly discharged or suspended
under the charter provisions. Lii the;
event, however. that he had not beeps
regularly discharged he had waivdf ar
right to compensation by allowing i've.
months to go by without entering 6ro-s
test. Chief kunge, he said, was preSaEf.
at the meeting Of the committee on fire
department at which it was voteh TO
discharge Brady and therefore halt a.
right to act as ifaviiig had due notice. Of
Tile cOmmittee's acti0u. Matt Gallagher
submitted abrief for the plaintiff .BaEll'
Freeman p. Lane argued the case. 20 bib
maintained that the chief was meyelE,
al, agent or the city. and read FROM tut
charter to prove it. He said: .n,'D
'9ds w ny, lie city attorney wishes uSto
understand that the chief is nothing.
He comes here with the proposition that
Chief Runge is a zero with the rim torn
OH. WnlCn1 aumlt" ne Is III some re- ,
spects, but nOt5in his authority. He it
is;wha engages the men. but the c9hp-1
eli must pass upon his appointments.
The reason for this is plain. A fireman
is public servant. who gives the best
years of his life III perfecting himself
for his duty in the saving of public
properly, anG it is for this reason that it
is taken out of the power OF Runge or
any other man to remove him because
he has d feeling of spite.
"The evidence shows that there had
never been color of an investigation
by the engineers of the charges against
Brady, and therefore there had been no
legal procedure. What makes the case
stronger is the fact that man named
Peterson has been drawing Brady's sal
airy. without any color of authority,
without any legal right to do SO, as he
has never been legally appointed. and
therefore all agent of the city has
placed man in Brady's place to draw
his salary, without any right to do So"
Judge Jamison took the case under
Amusement.

Sixth street and Nicollet avenue she
reported the loss to an officer, who
informed her that man had just re-

he had turned it over. minus $40 as a

The supposition is that the party in
question may have distracted the
money. and upon seeing the officer he

TO TAKE THE SHOT.
Workhouse Inmates to Try the
Kelley Cure


The inmates of the workhOuse, or at
least those who are willing, are to have
an opportunity to try the saving quality
of the Kelley cure.
The experiment is to be tried under
these conditions: Five VINO are willing
to take the treatment, and need it, and
whose terms of sentence will provide
ample time for the administering of the
cure, will be selected and sent to the
city hospital. The physician from the
institute will administer the cure at the
hospital. When these five have been
treated. and the results have proven
satisfactory, others will take their
places. Success is fully anticipated,
and 1t is believed that in this way a
good many of the men vino are victims
of their habits, but who are not natural
ly vicious, will be helped to reform and
become useful citizens. The mayor
has little money in special fund
which can properly he appropriated to
this work, and it will he used in this
way. The experiment will doub tless he
followed with good deal of interest by
other cities. DIR. Kelley has entered
very heartily into the proposition. and
Will render all the assistance possible.

Judge Hicks yesterday referred an
other point at law to the full bench for
decision. The Peoples bank recently
secured Judgment for $4,000 against
the Mutual Investment company,
The latter company appealed the case
and secured bond of $4,000 from the
Metropolitan Trust company. The at
torneys for the Peoples bank were not
satisfied with the bond. and asked the
court to order the Metropolitan Trust
company to Justify in the matter of the
bond. The trust company brought in
the regular certificate from the state
order. showing that the company had
sl23,CO0 deposited with the state, but
refused to Justify, thereby raising the
question as to whether this court had
the power to make such an order.
