LAwRENCE,s CLOSE CALL.
Nearly Killed I'm Attempting to
Arrest n Negro,


"MurNer! Murderi Police! Help!'
People in the vicinity of Second avenue
south and Washington street, shortly
after o'clock last night were startled
by the cries: and two women who ran
out of Jumbo Alley, screaming for help,
| ran full tilt into Inspector Joe Lawrence.
The face and head of one of the women
was covered with blood which flowed
lprofusely from a deep cash in the side
of her head She told Lawrence that
her husband was in the alley with re-
ivolver and had been trying to kill her.
:, AS Lawrence entered the alley col
! ored woman darted into an enclosure
| between the houses. Just as Lawrence
got to the fence buck negro dropped
! over and fell into the inspectors arms.
| The two grappled. The negro poked
| big revolver into Lawrance'S face and
within half an inch of his nose and
! pulled the trigger. 1t snapped and that
| was all Lawrence knocked the negro 8
/ hand up and they fought for fully five
minutes. Not one person in the big
| crowd which gathered about offered
to help the inspector.
Officer Tony Conroy was attracted to

| time than it takes to tell it Lawrence's S
| opponent was lying stiff on the ground.
At the station the prisoner gave the
name of Jack Bolden, and claimed that
the woman he had been pounding was
his wife, who had left him and whom
he had followed from Omaha. HIS
right name is said to be Brothers.
The woman was also taken to the sta
ton and held as a witness against
Brothers, who is charged with assault
with a dangerous weapon. The city
physician was summoned and dressed
the woman's wounds, and she was
quite comfortable last night. Bolden

THE INSURANCE QUESTION.
Tuesdays Convention Is Expect
ed to Settle 1t.

ed to Settle 1t.
Of the many important gatherings
held within the last year, and to be held
under the auspices of the various COM
mercial bodies of Minneapolis, one of
the most important will be the gather
ing of insurance men which is to meet
in the board of trade rooms, in the
Lumber Exchange, of this city, at 10
o'clock, Tuesday morning. S. 7. john
son, chairman of the insurance COM
mittee of the board of trade, emphasized
the fact that this was not a partisan
movement, nor for the forwarding of
any scheme or design Of any set of indi-
viduals, but is for the simple purpose
of bringing the business interests of
the state to realiZa ton of the present
conditions of this important branch Of
their business. The important points to
be brought out are that citizens of Min
nesota are paying hundreds of thou
sands of dollars annually, which goes
out of the state, and for which they
receive no possible benefit; and that
this payment is in excess of what they
would have to pay were the property
located in any other important insur-
ance states of the Union. They are
paying on each $1,000 of insurance car
ried a sufficient excess over and above
the average of the whole country to
pay one-half Of the total losses in
Cured in this state; so that the fire
waste may and must be decreased and
a distinction may be drawn between
good and bad risks; and also that CO.
operation must be had among property
owners to the end that encouragement
and patronage will be given to such
companies as will make such dis
tinction.

lines, the feet and the head are the
only members of the body that can
.egitimately come in contact with the
ball.
The game is really the result of a
protest made some twenty or thirty
years ago in England against the
brutality and roughness then so pre-.
valent in the Rugby game. A num-
Der of English and Scotch clubs met
and formed an association for the
purpose of promoting and encourag-
ing sport free from such objection
able features. Football under asso-
citation rules was the offspring of
their deliberations. The evolution of
the game has been gradual, changes
being made from year to year until
the association football of today is
as safe as any manly sport can be
made. So perfect, too, has the game
become during the last four years
from a scientific standpoint that it
would seem as if there were but lit
tie room left for further develop
ment in this direction.
The game is played with eleven
men on side. There are five for
wards, two right and two left wings
and center, three half-backs, two
backs and a goalkeeper.
The ball used is almost entirely
round, much like an orange in shape.
In circumference it is about twenty
seven or twenty-eight inches, and it
weighs fourteen or fifteen ounces.
The length of the field cannot be
less than 100 or more than 200 yards,
it's minimum breadth being
so yards and it's maximum 100. The
limits of length and breadth are
marked off with flags and touch
lines. Six yards from the goal posts
and twelve yards from the goal lines
are indicated by marks to show
where the ball is to be kicked from,
under certain conditions. In the CEN
ter of the field is a circle ten yards
in radius. The goals are upright
posts eight yards apart, with a cross
bar eight feet from the ground.
The game, which lasts an hour
and a half, is started by the center
of the side winning the toss, kicking
off from the center Of the field in
the direction Of the opposite goal
line. The other side has to keep
outside the ten-yard circle till the
ball has been kicked off.
The great charm of the association
game is it's constant activity. The
bali is always on the move, and
only when the referees whistle
sounds is there any let-up in the
play. Brilliant individual plays are
now rare. The game, when played
by experts, is nothing less than the
perfection of scientific passing. Each
man should dribble only long enough
to enable him to pass the ball with
the more advantage to his comrade,
and the opposing side moves up and

of Louise Hortenbach against Fred
Blesi and Sheriff Helmberg, according
to a demurrer allowed some weeks ago:

court, next Tuesday morning. The
suit is one against the state board OF
equalization, asking to have set aside
an alleged unequal assessment of prop
erty in St. Louis, Park. Judgment was
entered some time ago, but it became
apparent that the outcome Of the case
would invalidate q large part of the
work of the board.

His Claim.

The $4,000 insurance on the life Of
Katherine Cling, which is supposed to
have been the motive for her murder,
will in all proba bility be acquired with
out contest by her sister, Julia Cling.
w. w. Hayward has Informed his at
torney, S. A. Reed, that he has no de-
sire to keep the sister from getting the
insurance, if she could. Accordingly,
Mr. Reed held conference with w. H.
Eustis, attorney for the estate, and
without any consideration made and
filed stipulation renouncing on behalf
of the Haywards all claim on the in
surance. Yesterday, Mr.. Eustis ap-
peared before Judge Russell and asked
that in view of the facts he be allowed
to enter up judgment against Mr.. Hay
ward in the interests of the Cling

ance companies are willing to pay the

down the field with as much rapidity,
as much apparent disunion and as
much real harmony as a kaleido-
scope. They are two big human
machines, and the one whose ma
chinery works the smoother, bar ac-
scidents, wins the game.
In all this brilliant passing the
foot is the chief actor. But, espe-
gcially with the experts, the head
plays an important part in the game.
fhe writer remembers seeing
great game at Remington Oval,
London, between two professional
teams, the Preston North Ends and
the Wolverhampton Wanderers, in
which the Preston forwards took the
ball the whole length of the field,
passing it from one to another with
their heads in the same way Jug
agler keeps a ball bouncing up and
down on his forehead.
Should the ball strike one Of the
players, even by accident, on any
part of his arms below the shoulder,
the other side is entitled to claim a
4'foul" and the consequent free kick.
When, however, ball is sent be-
yond the boundary line player on
the opposite side to the one which
played it out takes the ball in both
his hands and throws it over his head
into'play again in any direction that
suits him. The goalkeeper, too, is
allowed the use of his hands in de-
y: rr1 4 sp.
VIXEN the ball passes between the
goal posts, under the bar. TO pre-
vent this happening the goalkeeper
is permitted either to fist the ball
out''-a method in which the profess
sionals display much quickness and
brilliancy-or to take the ball in his
hands and, while he may not carry
it, to throw it where it seems safest.
But outside of the goalkeeper and the
| man who throws in from the touch
line there is no handling of the ball
in the association game.
Ends are not changed until half
time. After goal has been kicked
the losing side is given the kickoff
from its siX-yard line.
{ Rule X. of the association game
shows how widely it differs from
| Rugby and American football. The
| rule reads as follows:
! Neither tripping, hacking nor jump
| ing at a player shall be allowed, and
no player shall use his hands to hold
/ or push his adversary or play in any
manner likely to cause injury. No
player may charge an opponent from
| behind, unless such opponent be not
| only facing his own goal, but is, in
the opinion! of the referee, willfully
! impeding his adversary while in that
| position. The goal-keeper shall not be
charged, except he be in the act of
playing the ball or is obstructing an
| opponent.
The penalty for the infraction of
| the rule is a free kick for the op-
; posing side, to be taken from any
point twelve yards from the goal
line.
| AS a result of the associations con-
slant efforts to improve it's rules
a game has been evolved that, while
peculiarly free from accidents of a
serious nature, is exciting enough
| to draw the most enormous crowds.
! An attendance of 10000 is nothing
remarkable in England, and there is
many a game played in the northern
| counties where the crowd around the
football field more than trebleS the
Population of the town in or near
! which the game is played. Things
| have not got to any such pitch here,
but the National Association Foot
! ball league is working valiantly in
[ behalf of the game.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-The Amer
lean Protective association is engaged
in a vigorous warfare, through petit
tions and otherwise, against the con-
firmation of the nomination of Gen.
J. J. Coppinger to be brigadier gen.
eral. The petitions charge that the
promotion of Gen, Coppinger is made
over the heads of a score of skillful,
brave and gallant officers, and assert
that he has become an American citi-
zen only within the past three years.
They further say: "He is the Irish
Roman Catholic volunteer who, with
others, left Ireland to go and fight for
Pope Plus TX. against the freedom and
unity of Italy, and who, for pretended
gallantry, was created by the pope a
chevalier Of st. Michael and made
honorable aide-de-camp to Pope Plus
TX"
The petitions are in printed form and
all set forth the same facts and argu-
ments. The nomination is now before
