HAYWARD ON TRIAL.
Hearing of the Celebrated Mime
apolis Murder Case Begins
-Blixt Case Continued.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Jan 21-The trial
of Harry Hayward for the murder of
Catherine Cling was formally begun in
the district court of Hennepin county
this morning. Fifteen minutes after the
courtroom doors were opened the seats
were full and the doors were closed to
the public. Six rows in front were re-
served for women and were entirely Occur
pied.
Harry Hayward was brought in and
went to his seat as blithely as if he
were entering theater. He chewed
gum vigorously and played with his
spaniel while waiting for the proceedings
to begin. Judge Seagrave Smith, the
presiding judge, soon entered and as
cended the bench. the sheriff declared
the court in session and the trial began.
W. w. Erwin, the criminal lawyer, al
ready well known from his connection
with the Homestead and Debs cases,
was on the defendants side of the attor-
neys table, thanked by John Day Smith,
a local attorney who is to assist him.
County Attorney Frank M. Nye, broth
er of Bill Nye, the humorist, and his as
sistant, Albert Hall, were on the other
side. It was deemed significant that the
attorney for Claus BliXt sat upon the
prosecutions side of the table. Soon aft
er proceedings began Miss Julia Cling,
twin sister of the murdered woman, en-
tered and took seat not SIX feet from
the prisoner.
The county attorney first moved that
the case of BliXt be reset for February
;, and this was agreed to by BliXt's at
torney, and the first venireman was
called for examination. He was Dane
named Nels Miller, and evinced consid-
cradle ignorance of the story of the muir
der. The defense accepted him, but the
prosecution was suspicious and examined
him at great length.
1t is believed that the work of secur-
ing jury will consume at least a week.
A special venire has been prepared in adj
dition to the regular panel.
just before the court adjourned at
noon there was a sensational episode.
1t had become evident that the defense
had obtained possession of the jury list
and had looked up every name on it.
Judge Smith inquired very severely
whether this were not the case. John
Day Smith admitted that the antecedents
and character of each had been looked
up, but claimed that the defense was
privileged to take that course. The court
admitted that investigation as to char
acter and antecedents was admissible,
but declared very emphatically that if it
appeared that the defense or its agents
had talked with the veniremen about the
case in an eDdeayor to ascertain their
opinion, the court would hold the de-
fenSe'S attorney in contempt.

WAREHOUSEMEN BEATEN.
Chicago Combine Must Give Up
Either the Warehouse or the
Grain Purchasing Business.

Chicago, ILL.,, Jan. 1S-The so-called
elevator combine, composed Of such men
as p. D. Armour, Charles Counselman
and others received a body blow from the
Illinois Railway and Warehouse commits
sion, which decided that he public ware
house or the grain purchasing business.
The decision is the result Of bitter
fight which for months has been carried
on between the board of trade commits
sion men and the combine" The board
of trade finally asked for a decision from
the Illinois Railway and Warehouse COM
mission and the opinion was submitted
by Chairman Cantrell today. In brief,
it says that if man desires to handle
his own grain he may do SO without Ii
cense or bond, but when he elects to be-
come a public warehouseman, he can
handle only the grain of the public. The
opinion created intense interest among
board Of trade people. What action the
elevator combine will take was matter
of much speculation and it was generally
believed those interested will carry the
light further

NO FREIGHT MOVING.
Storm in the. Mountains Ties Up
California Traffic-SnoW
Thirty Feet Deep.

Sacramento, Cal, Jan. 21.-Another
storm is raging in the mountains and,
although there is more snow on the
ground than there has been for five years,
it is rapidly growing deeper. The storm
began yesterday morning and has con-
tinued without ceasing all day. The
wind is bowling through the mountains
and the snow is falling thick and faster
than at any time during the past twenty
four hours. Owing to the violence of
the storm and the possibility of tie-up
at any moment, no more freight will be
moved until the storm abates. Passenger
trains will be kept moving as long as
possible. The snow is banked up along

CAME CRASHING DOWN.
Serious Accident at the Fort Dear
born Building in
Chicago.

Chicago, ILL.,, Jan. 21-Several people
were badly injured today by the falling
of a portion of the scaffolding on the
new Fort Dearborn building at Clark
and Monroe streets. The heavy timbers
were blown from position and, falling
fourteen stories, buried two men, one of
whom ]. d. Burke, a ticket broker, was
thought to be fatally injured. The other
men seriously injured were: A. j.
Donaldson, clerk. head crushed; Frank
Woodward, teamster, arm crushed; Will
lam Lucius, printer, scalp wounds; II. ).
Fisher, restaurant employee, badly
bruised; H. II. Irwin, clerk, dangerous in
ternal injuries; George Bey, stenOgrapher,
head badly cut. A half dozen other peo-
pie were struck by flying dmbers, but not
seriously hurt
The Fort Dearborn building, which is
nearing completion, is one OF the most
elaborate of the skyscrapeT office build
ings in the city. Around the two top
stories on the scaffolding, extending sew
eral feet from the walls, has been built
heavy casing for the protection of
workmen The high wind had loosened
many of the heavy planks, which had
been falling at intervals since the early
morning Several people had been slight
ly injured and the police had cleared the
sidewalk beneath the dangerous struct-
ure. Workmen Were sent to repair the
caught large portion Of the casing and
tore it from its fastenings. The heavy
timbers, in falling, sailed across the
street and fell upon the east sidewalk of
Clark street The crowds hearing the
crash broke wildly in all directions and
many reached places of safety before the
casing struck Store windows were
smashed in and much damage was done
to neighboring property.
Arnbulances were hurriedly called and
the badly injured removed to hospitals
or their homes a1lI the nearby drug
stores were soon crowded with people
who had been bruised by the timbers or
cut by flying glass. 1t was at drst
thought that several people had been
killed, but it was found later that none
but Burke and possibly Irwin were fatal
~ hurt. The streets Were crowded at the
time of the accident and many more ia
taIities would undoubtedly have occurred
had not the great height from which the
casing fell given many of the passersrby
time to escape.
The gale which crushed the scaffoldfng.
on the Fort Dearborn building caused
damage in many places in the city Signs
were torn from their fastenings and
hurled through store windows, chimneys.
were blown down and sidewalk displays
of goods badly scattered.

HE HAS MANY WHEELS
AND WILL READJUST THEM AT
THE INSANE ASYLUM.
A CRAZY YOUNG REFORMER
who Would ReyOIutiOnizc Style of
Architecture and Prevent
Women Riding Bicycle.

Several reformers are constantly
under suspicion of having wheels in
their heads, but it is seldom that
one of them breaks out so that 1t
becomes necessary to send him TO
the insane asylum. Such one is
w. B. Corners, who was examined
in the probate court yesterday on
a charge of insanity and ordered
committed to the Rochester asylum.
Corners was stopping at the Inter
national hotel, and he conceived the
idea that there should be a revolu-
ton in the style of architecture of
city buildings. The buildings We're
altogether too high to suit him. He
did not like to see women on BIZ
cycles. It didn't look right. They eX-
posed their ankles and had to sit on
seat out of proportion to-the Wom-
an. Then he didn't like 'bloomers,"
which riding seems to be bringing
into style for ladies. They were a
wicked innovation-a sort of in
fringement on mans patent right.
To turn the tide of public senti-
ment against these growing evils,
he announced. that he was going to
deliver a lecture at Market hall
Tuesday night. He was going to dis
cusS all of these reforms in a bunch.
But before the hour for the lecture
arrived M. M. Corners, brother of
the reformer, arrived from Water
town, Wis, his suspicion having
been aroused by a strange letter he
received from his brother, in which
he discussed these reforms in a
rather incoherent way. The Wiscon-
sin brother sought out the reformer,
but discovering a wild CLEAN in his
eye, he concluded to secure the as
sistance of an officer. He accord
ingly reported the matter to the
sheriff, and Deputy Kinney was sent
with him to the hotel.
The reformer was preparing for
his lecture when the deputy entered
the hotel and informed him that he
was the mayors private secretary,
and 1T would be necessary for him to
have license from the city before
he could deliver his lecture. Under
the pretense of escorting him to the
mayors office to secure the license,
the deputy led Corners to the coun-
ty Jail, where he was retained Tues
day night.
Corners is about thirty years of
age and unmarried. He is a line
man.
