WITH ATTEMPTED FRAUD
In Dealing With Methias Won
Drasek and Wife, Poor
Eohemians.
MORTGAGE DECLARED v0l[
And the Court Has a Word to
Say Of a Power Of
Attorney.

Walter I. Book was given a hot
roast in a decision filed by Judge Kelly
yesterday in the suit Of Methias Won
Drasek against L. c.. Clemens. The
plaintiff brought an action to have
set aside a note and mortgage for
$3.50 on the ground of fraud. The
facts as found by the court are these:
Walter I. Book represented to Won
Drasek and his wife that if they would
buy from him certain tract of land
including some forty acres, he would
secure them a loan of 81 ,000 on some
other property Won Drasek had. They
thereupon signed a certain paper,
which he represented to them, through
an interpreter procured by him,
was simply an application for
the loan, whereas it was a sweep
ing power of attorney that gave him
almost unlimited power to do what he
pleased with their property. The Won
Draseks are Bohemians, who do not
understand English very well.
Book then gave a note and mort
gage for $3.50 to Clemens, but never
turned over a cent to the plaintiffs,
his explanation to the court in the
trial of the case being that he had
raised this amount of money to pay
as earnest on the land he was to
turn over to them. The court or
ders the note and
MORTGAGE SET ASIDE
as null and void, adding the following
memorandum, which severely roasts
Book:
There is no question in my mind but
a deliberate fraud was attempted upon
these poor people. the plaintiff and his
wife. And while it may be that L. c.
Clemens, as he describes himself, of
Franklin county, Kan, the MORTGAGE,
was innocent Of any participation in
the matter, except to be himself gulled
into parting with his money on this
sweeping and yet f1imsy power, 1 feel
that l do him no wrong in leaving on
his own shoulders the burden of his
own folly. Even if the plenipotentiary
character of this So-cailed power of
attorney was not sufficient to excite
the special wonder of the money
loaner and thus cause him to inquire
into the real merits of the case, he is
bound by its precise terms.
''These powers are properly con-
strued strictly, and, IN this case, this
power gave Book no authority to mort,
gage the separate property of either
plaintiff, or his wife. Certainly not in
the absence of proof that there was no
land or personal property In Ramsey
county owned jointly or in common
by them. So that whether the mort
gage is or is not chargeabie with
knowledge of the fraudulent character
Of the power, the note and mortgage
not being authorized by it's terms, are
nevertheless void

YsAYE MONDAY NIGHT.
Something About the. Career OF
"a the Great Artist. So ~

Something About the Career of
s"- the Great Artist. So ~
Ysaye was born at Liege, called the
nursery Of violinists. In his boyhood
days he received his first technical
training from his father. After a short
stay at the conservatory in Liege, he
spent year under the direction of
Wieniawski, in Brussels. AT Antwerp
he had the good luck to be heard in
concert by Vieuxtemps, who" says
the Paris Figaro, 'tleaped upon the
stage and embraced him passionateIy,
calling him by terms of endearment,
while the vast audience shouted itself
hoarse," By constant study and as
ISOLATION with VieuXtemps, Ysaye is
said to have become much like that
great master in both manner and meth
DDS. Three years ago he was nom
mated to the Royal Conservatory at
Brussels, of which he is still violin di-
rector.
Every year he makes an artistic tour
throughout Europe, without neglecting
his pupils, who are distinguished by the
suppleness of the bow and that free
style and animated gesture so noticea-
bic in Ysaye. 1t is rumored that our
own Miss Lamprey has partly made
arrangements to study with him on
his return to Europe, so that with Miss
Richards to eXpound the methods of
Paderewski and Miss Lamprey to IL
lustrate in her bright and taking way
the splendid qualities of the Ysaye
school, who knows what st. Paul may
not become, in the near future, as a
musical center?
Ysaye's magnificent stature and
manly face, like that of Greek God,
are quite in keeping with his noble
playing. Ysaye's only appearance in
st. Paul is next Monday evening, April
49, at the Peoples church. Reserved

AFTER FIFTEEN YEARS
CORNERSTONE OF THE OLD MAR
KET HALL Is REMOVED
AFTER A LENGTHY SLEEP.
Removal Caused by the Lowering
of the Floor of DaytOn's Cf-
gar Store.

The corner stone of the old mar
ket building was removed yesterday
by the workmen employed by George
w. Dayton, the cigar dealer, who is
lowering the floor of his store to the
street level. Fifteen years ago, on
the 18th day of April, this corner
stone was laid. Inside the stone was
placed a copper box, which con-
tanned copy of the city's contract
with the builders Of Market hall,
and copies of the council proceed
ings of January, 1880, of the city
charter and the. local laws. There
were also copies of the GLOBE,
Pioneer Press, Dispatch and other
st. Paul dailies and weeklies exist
ing at the time. The box and it's con-
tents are we'll preserved, though the
latter are atrif1e musty after their
fifteen years repose within the cor
ner stone. Across the envelope con-
tanning the contract appears an in
scription in the handwriting of Will
lam Pitt Murray, stating the hour
and date Of the laying of the corner
stone.
Mr.. Dayton delivered the box and
its contents to City Clerk Prender-

he HID THE SAUSAGE,
AND HIS WIFE HAD HIM AR
RESTED FOR INSANITY,
BUT He HADN'T ANY WHEELS
According to the Decision of the
Probate Court-Sad Case of
Mrs. OImberg.

Judge Willrich was called upon to
pass on two insane cases yesterday,
both of which had their humorous
features. The first was especially fun
ny, as it grew out of quarrel be-
tween the notorious Annie Preston and
her faithful hubby, John J. Mauier. 1t
will be remembered that Annie got
into a scrape last fall over the theft
of set of false teeth from a dentist,
and it cost John an even hundred
dollars to get her out of it so he could
press her to his heart again and hear
her sweet voice call him lovey-dovey
once more. Annie was grateful, ex-
tremely grateful for this sacrifice but
her gratitude was not permanent. She
became better acquainted with some
of her boarders than John thought
was proper, so he claims, and when he
brought home a lot of nice wiener
wuerst one night, he locked them in
his trunk lest his rivals should be
served with them. This led to the row
between himself and Annie, in which
the fur flew and the dishes, too, and
John was arrested on a charge of in
sanity made by the woman. This was
the last straw, and when Judge WILL
rich examined him yesterday and pro-
nounced him sane, he confirmed the
Judgment of the court by remarking
that as soon as he got enough money
together he would quit Annie cold
forever.
The other insanity case was that of
Matilda Olmberg, who is troubled with
decisions. Mrs. Olmberg is twenty
nine years of age and is the mother
of three children. She is troubled
over some king or emperor of some
European country. She also has an
idea that she has several husbands,
and at times she refused to recognize
as such the one she has got She
kindly informed Judge Willrich that
some day some of these people who
were troubling her would get him be-
tween the floors in the court house and
do him up. The court ordered the
poor woman committed to the asylum
at Rochester.

TURNED The TABLES.
HUSBAND GIVEN THE DIVORCE
ASKED FOR BY HIS WIFE.
FOR SHE FAILED TO APPEAR
And Her Husband Explained Tint
She Had Run Away With An
other Man.

Charles A. Lichtenheld succeeded in
turning the tables In the trial of his
wife's suit for divorce before Judge
Otis yesterday, and instead of the
woman securing the decree she asked
for, the court granted one to the hus-
band and also gave him the custody of
the nine months old child, which had
been placed by tie mother in an
orphans home. The :woman's name
is Estella C. Liehtenheld. She is
twenty-nine years of age and the
husband, who is a wholesale dealer in
notions and tailor trimmings, is thirty
six. They were married in Wayne, Ill.
Mrs. Lichtenheld, in her complaint,
charged her husband with having
committed adultery in 1893 and Septem-
Der last. She also charged him with
having committed a like offense with
other women at other times and places,
butt could not give their names. She
further alleged that he was guilty of
| cruel and inhuman treatment toward
her almost from the time of their
marriage-such as fault finding, using
insulting and abusive language. curs-
ing and threatening her with personal
violence.
The husband filed a cross-complaint
in which he charged his wife with
adultery with several men. and visit
. ing wine-rooms and houses of assigna-
ton and being an immoral woman
generally. .fe.-~
When the case came up yesterday
the woman failed to put in an appear
ance, the husband explaining her alb
with another man. But he had photo
graphs of her, which showed her to
be a very fine looking woman. These
photographs were shown to a num-
Der of witnesses, who identified them
as being pictures of a woman they
had seen in wine-rooms and various
places not commonly inhabited by re-
spectacle people.
