A NARROW ESCAPE.
DIR. JOhnsOn,s Wife and Mother
Run Into by u Car.

DR.. JOhnSOn1S Wife and Mother
Run Into by u Car.
A collision took pl~ce just before u
o'clock yesterday forenoon at the cor
ner of Broadway and Eighth streets,
between Lafayette avenue and Rondo
street car 313 and a buggy driven by
Mrs. Johnson, wife of DR.. T. H. John
son.. Mrs. S. S. Johnson, the doctors
mother, a venerable lady of seventy
six, had her leg broken and received
a severe shock and several bruises.
Owing to advanced age, her condition
is critical. Mrs. T. H. Johnson, and
her three-year-old son, who was the
remaining occupant of the buggy,
were slightly bruised.
Mrs. Johnson drove directly across
the tracks when the car was not more
than ten feet distant. Had not Mo-
torman Kelly made a surprisingly
short stop, one or more of DR.. John
sons family would probably have been
killed on the spot. But when the doc
tor arrived, a few moments after the
accident, he so far failed to appreciate
the motorman's promptness as to at
tempt to assault the latter with a
pocket knife. Later on, when in
Stierle's drug store, Conductor Young
began making some formal inquiries
of DR.. Johnson, and also came within
an inch of being attacked. In both
cases the excited physician was re-
strained by Officer Charles Banker
Mrs. Johnson's buggy formed part
of the funeral procession accompany
ing the remains of j. o. Cross. The
procession had turned up Broadway,
and Mrs. Johnson was also about to
turn. Her attention was attracted
elsewhere, and she failed to hear the
violent ringing of the gong on the
car.
The horse was grazed by the car,
which crushed in three of the four bug
gy wheels. So short stop was made,
however, that no one in the vehicle
was displaced from the seat The
horse was quickly seized by the head,
through the thoughtful action of an
employe Of the street car company,
and more dangerous complications
thus prevented. The elder Mrs John
son was caught between the buggy
and the car.

THIS THE OPINION CORONER,s
JURY IN THE GARDNER
CASE. ad
SHE WAS NOT AN OUTCAST,
BUT HAD BEEN STOPPING AT
HER MOTHER,s HOME IN
THIS CITY. ms
ACTED STRANGELY AT TIMES.
And Went to the River to Drown
HerseIf-FOOk Arsenic and
Morphine. 9f

The coroner's. jury to investigate
the death of Mrs. Rosa Gardner
held lengthy session yesterday and
found that Mrs. Gardner died from
arsenical poisoning administered in
some manner to the jury unknown.
1t is the presumption of the physi-
clans that morphine was also taken
the latter poison was found in the
suicides stomach to account for her
death, the additional drug was ig-
nored. 1t will be recalled that box
containing morphine crystals was
found in Mrs. Gardeners room.
Boarders at the Hampton house
testified that she was first heard to
groan heavily, but relapsed later in
to a comatose condition. 1t was
fairly we'll established that the mo-
tive for her act was not restitution
and the absence of friends and rela-
tons, as at first supposed. On the
contrary, the young woman's mother
and brother, Mrs. Mary Longtin and
Royal Longtin, live at 1913 Rice
street, in this city. Rosa was on the
best of terms with both her husband
and her own family, and was at her
mothers home only a few days be-
fore she committed her awful deed.
Insanity, however, was developed as
the probable reason for the act of
self-deStruction. The inquest was
held in Court Room 5. Deputy Coro-
ner Mcnamara presided. The jurors
were P. M. O'Connor, William Dow
Ian, M. J. OConnor, H. Mydering Sr.
E. III. Wood and State Senator Pott-
gieser.
Mrs. Mary Longtin testified that
her daughter came to visit her july
4, and left two days later. Rosa OTTER
expressed underlined fears of some
one that she had met on the train,
and appeared to be somewhat
OUT OF HER MIND.
On July she was anxious to go
down town to attend to business mat
tiers. She did not return. Royal Long
tin corroborated his mother. He added
that Rosa told him, on leaving, that
he need not look to see her back again.
His sister had married a man named
Gardner when she was only fifteen,
and had since lived in the far West.
Her letters always indicated that her
married life was a happy one
Charles NJ. Sheperd explained his re-
lations with the dead woman much as
they have been stated heretofore. He
said that she told him that she would
rather die than lead an immoral life.
He also denied strenuously that he
had treated her otherwise than in the
most gentlemanly manner
John Henley, the Great Western
bridge-tender, repeated his statement
that Mrs. Gardner had twice come
down to the river with the apparent
intention of drowning herself
Landlord Gair, of the Hampton
house, insisted that he had told Officer
Goven that the sick woman in his
hotel had poisoned herself while DR.,
Hanley stated that he would have an
swered the call of the police at once
had he been informed that the patient
was suspected of taking poison.

HUSTLING FOR MEN,
Employment Agencies Cannot
Find Enough Harvest Hands.

Find Enough Harvest Hands,
Inquiries pursued yesterday at the
railroad offices and the local employ
ment agencies developed the fact that
by the time the rush for harvest hands
Will be on, there will be no supply in the
local field. Already energies are being
bent TO secure sufficient number of
men from Eastern points. By next
week harvest will be we'll under way
and in the Twin Cities the supply of
available men is very limited Every
train that goes out to the grain belt

ers. The railroads some days ago an
nounced a rate of So per man in punches
of five or more, but this offer, while ac-
cepted by those who wished to go early.

leave the city, and it does not look as
If they would be obtained here
Ashland and Duluth are also drawn
upon for every spare man. The local
roads are rushing the work of massing
cars, placing them in repair and other
wise making preparations for the traf-
fic of the harvest season. The EMPLOY
ment agents confirm all that has al
ready been said. Allen & Co., as well
as Moore & Co., have many orders for
men, to be filled at once and at good
wages, including board. But both
firms state point blank that they are
not able to fill their orders, mucho as
they would like to be in a position to
do so.
This situation holds good in other Idi-
rections, as well as for harvest hands.
Usually at this season of the year
much work is being done on the tracks
of the various lines of road, and or

which are anxious to place their road
beds in good coalition before the
heavy traffic begins, are unable to Sc
cure the desired men in this city and
will have to look elsewhere for sup
ply. The wages that are being offered
range from $1.75 to 1926 per day and
board. In some sections harvest has
already begun and men are needed
badly. The agents are hustling lively
to get punches of five together, and as
soon as they succeed, they ship the
men to the points where help is in
immediate demand.

The board of public works heard the
testimony of eighteen citizens of the
First ward yesterday as to their esti-
mate of the value of the ninety-six
acres of land to be taken for Phalen
park. Only three out of the eighteen
seemed to think the property was
worth as much as $500 an acre. Some
of them put it as low as $500, but fur
Their questioning in these cases deveI-
oped the fact that the witnesses had
little or no knowledge of the land, it's
situation or its character. The citizens
were not called as experts, however.
The three who made the most liberal
estimates were: A. F. Osterlind, who
valued it at S99, 800, or over LOCO an
acre; Hugh Montgomery, who estimated
it at $50, 400, and G. A. Donberg, who
thought it worth S76,SOO. The follow
ing is a list of those who testified and
their total estimates:
John Blomquist, $31, $50; ]. A Lineer,
$39, 800; Hugh Montgomery, 800, 400; John

Johnson, S41, $50; Carl Stroh, SAC, $50;

$76,SC0; John Rosen, $4,000; August

AT the conclusion of the testimony,
Mr.. How, one Of the attorneys for the
syndicate owning the property, and
Mr.. Horn, representing the owners of
the property to be assessed, agreed
that they had heard enough testimony
and would not, therefore, summon any
more witnesses. The board according
ly adjourned the matter until 2 p m,
Friday, when Mr.. Eller, Mr.. How's
partner, will sum up for the property
owners, and Mr.. Horn will overwhelm
the board and the spectators with his
eloquence in behalf of the people to be
assessed for the park.
