LABOR ASKS INJUNCTION.

CLEVELAND, o., Aug. 5-The
Brown strikers have resorted to in
junction proceedings in the effort to
bring the company to terms This
evening a petition was filed In the
common pleas court by L. A. Russell,
as attorney for William Stanley, a tax
payer, praying for restraining order
against the Brown company and the
mayor to prevent the calling out of
additional military companies or the
making of a display of force in the
vicinity Of the works. calculated to
provoke a breach of the peace. The
petition. which is very long, recites the
whole story of the lockout and strikes
and represents that all the trouble has
been caused by sympathizers and not
by the strikers themselves. 1t is al
legged that the calling out of the police
and military has entailed an unneces-
sary expense upon the taxpayers and
for that reason the injunction is asked

WHITE REMAINS IN JAIL.
Tillfe Schrumpf's Assailant Held to
the Grand Jury.

the Grand Jury.
H. B. White was taken from the city
hospital yesterday morning and ar
raigned in the police court on charge
of assault in the first degree. The
prisoner had no attorney, but told the
court and county prosecutor that he
was willing to do whatever they de-
cided best for him.
White, it will be remembered, came up
from Mortified, where his wife and five
children reside,a week ago last Sunday,
and attempted to murder Tillie
Schrumpf The girl who was employed
as a domestic, at the residence of G.
H Botkin, was struck by a couple Of
the bullets fired at her by White, but
not seriously injured. White then
turned a revolver on himself and in
f1icted a wound which has kept him a
patient in the city hospital since.
When questioned by Judge Twohy
yesterday, White admitted that he was
guilty of the charge, and in reply to
a question of the court said he had a
wife and five little children who were
entirely dependent upon him for sup
port. He seemed to be greatly affected
by the allusion to his family, and also
a trif1e disappointed when he was told
that his victim, Tillie Schrumpf, was
not present in court, but had gone to
her home in Mortified.
In speaking of the crime. White did
not show remorse, saying the girl had
deceived him in more cases than the
one for which he shot her. After a
consultation with the court, it was de-
cided to allow the prisoner to waive
examination and he was held to await
the action Of the grand jury which
meets in October. White was COM
mitted to Jail, and as, under the law, he
can not be allowed bail on the charge,
he will spend the next three months in
jail

MRS. BENFoRD TOOK POISON.
Doctors Save Her Life With
stomach Pump.


Mrs. William Benford, living at 227
Norris street, took six pills with sui
cidal intent at o'clock last evening.
Mrs. Benford, who is rather attractive
looking white woman and twenty-one
years old, is married to saddle-col-
ored waiter Her husband, who was at
home during the afternoon, saw her go
to trunk and. take out small pill
box, but as she had been complaining
some time thought it was some medi-
cine. An hour afterward he was
aroused from his sleep by her illness,
and as she would not say what was
the matter he went for doctor
DR.. J. H. Murphy was found and on
seeing the patient arrived at the con-
clusion that she had taken poison. The
city ambulance was called and the
woman taken to the city hospital
pump the attending physician said she
would recover.
Mrs. Benford said she took the
poison, which was corrosive sublimate,
owing to dependency and with the
idea that her husband would be hap
pier If she was out of the world.
Benford, seen last night, said he knew
of no reason why his wife should want
to suicide. They had been married
about two years and although he was
at present out of employment he ex-
pected to go to work on Monday at
Minnetonka His wife's name before
marriage he said, was Clara Halver-
son, and her parents lived near Austin,

HANDLING PAUPER DEAD.
Mccarthy & DonneIly Awarded the
County Contract.

County Contract.
The board of control received bids
yesterday for the annual contract for
the interment of paupeIs in the Ramsey
county cemetery and the supplying of
collins. William Dampier submitted the
lowest bid which was so cents for the
buryfng of every child under 10 years.
and 80 cents for every person over
that age. This includes the furnishing
of coffin in every case corresponding
with the coffin called for in the speci-
fications. The cost of digging the
grave was 25 cents. Thus making the
total expense to the county of rs cents
for burying a child of 10 or under, and
$115 for an older person
The bid was SO low as to astonish
the board of control. The contract was
thereupon handed to Mr.. Dampier to
sign, but after perusing it for few
moments Mr.. Dampier returned it
with the statement that he would rather
not sign it. It's conditions were not
entirely satisfactory
Upon reading the contract, one clause
stands out conspicuously. 1t is pro-
vs.on binding the contractor not to
SELL dispose of or give the dead body
of any pauper entrusted to said con-
tractor for burial, to the University
OF Minnesota, or its medical depart
ment, nor to any medical institute, or
corporation, nor to any person or per-
sons.
The next lowest bid was that of Nc
Carthy & Donnelly, namely $3.50 for
children of 10 years and under, 81 for
all other persons, and 35 cents for dig
ging a grave. The firm was willing to
sign the contract and accordingly Sc
cured the award.

Won GoETzEN's BODY FOUND.
Will Be Brought to ST. Paul for In
terrnent.

The body of Gustave Won GOetZen
was found in the lake at Waconia yes
terday morning at 6 o'clock. Since his
disappearance on Monday night search
ing parties have been dragging the lake
for the remains. The body was found
about three-quarters of a mile from the
spot where the drowning was supposed
to have occurred.
Herman Scheffer, cashier Of the I'm
ion bank was at the lake when the
body was found and Immediately wired
Alfred Scheffer, acquainting him Of the
fact Arrangements were made with
Mccarthy & Donnelly to meet the body
at the train and take charge of 1t. The
coroner of Carver county was also mott
fled and requested to come at once to
Waconia. Up to last evening, neither
the coroner nor his deputy had put in
an appearance, and consequently the
body could not be brought to the city.
1t is expected to arrive this morning at
o'clock No definite arrangements
have been made for the funeral, but it
is expected it will occur this afternoon
and will be private.
An expert accountant is at work on
the books of Benz & Sons, but the
members of the firm are very reticent,
and aside from admitting that the
amount of shortage he would COM
fuse to talk.
The friends of the dead man say that
it is not at all likely that for small
amount of shortage he would COM
NIT suicide, and attribute his death to
accidental drowning.

commissioner and his assistants This
resolution was likewise adopted by the
same vote of five to two Referring to
this resolution Mr. Lewis afterward
said that 1t was sufficient inasmuch as
it protected the commissioner against
any invasion of his quarters.
There Is considerable question as to
the power of the custodian to carry out
the resolution forbidding the board of
public works from meeting in any
room in the court house building. While
the custodian may have control over
the now vacant court rooms, 1T is
doubtful if he can prevent the board
from meeting in the offices of either
the building inspector or the corpora
ton attorney in case either of these
two Democratic city officials is willing
to allow the board to meet in his office.
Moreover there is precedent for such
action. Two years ago the Copeland
assembly. which was ultimately de-
clared by the supreme court the legal
assembly, held its meetings in the
office of the corporation attorney, who
happened to be a Republican official.
The present care is practically the same
1t is scarcely probable that the board
of public works will be driven out of
the court house pending the determine
ton of the legal question. There are
Yesterday was day of rest for both
the commissioner and the board of
public works. The members of the
board were on hand, however in court
room No. 4, to take care of any matters
that might come before the board. One
document was filed with the board. 1t
was a petition signed by the st. Paul
and Northern Pacific railroad COM
pany and other property owners on
Broadway, recommending that the
board report in favor of a final order
for paving Broadway with asphalt.
Leon T. Chamberlain, representing the
st. Paul & Northern Pacific company,
and the other property owners, pre-
scented the petition. Mr.. Chamberlain
filed a similar petition with the board
Of public works last Friday, when the
board was in possession of the office
quarters now occupied by Commits
sioner Copeland but as the petition
passed with the other papers and re-
cords into the hands of the commits
sioner, Mr.. Chamberlain submitted an
other petition to the board.
In the afternoon President German
called upon Postmaster Castle and re-
quested him to order that all mail mat
ter addressed to the board of public
works or to the president-of such board,
be delivered at court room No. 4, in
the court house and city hall. Capt.
Castle acceded to the request, assuring
Capt German that all mail so adj
dressed, would be delivered to the
board until the pending legal question
is determined.

LINDAHL CARES NOT
WHETHER THE PEOPLE HAVE A
CHANCE TO PROTECT THEIR
INTERESTS.
HIS ULTRA PARTISAN MOVE
EETS A RESOLUTION THROUGH THE
COMMISSION SHUTTING THE
BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
BUT OF ANY ROOM IN CITY HALL.
Another Days Developments In the
Fight to Keep Copeland I'm
Office.

No quarter nor quarters for the
beard of public works, is the cry Of the
Republican crowd in the court house
and city hall. Yesterday afternoon
the joint court house and city hall
commission adopted a resolution in
structing the custodian not to allow
the members of "the old board Of pub
lie works" to occupy any room or
rooms in the court house and city hall
until the courts have settled the legal
controversy as to the validity Of the
law creating a commissioner of pub
lie works. Aid. Lindahl to whom the
board of public works is particularly
obnoxious, introduced the resolution
designing it to go into effect at once
but Mayor Doran and Assemblyman
Lewis advised a more polite course
by suggesting that a reasonable time
be given to the board before exclud-
ing 1t from the building. Mayor
Doran thought that the resolution was
otherwise proper, as the board Of pub
lie works had not as yet shown a dis
position to bring the matter before the
courts.
Mr.. Lewis called attention to the
fact that the board justified it's action
in holding meetings, in that all prop
erty owners and citizens were thereby
enabled to appear before the board as
well as the commissioner, and so pro-
tect their rights, in case the law sub
shutting commissioner for the board
should ultimately be declared invalid.
But the consideration of the peoples
interests and rights had no visible eff
feet upon Aid. Lindahl, nor for that
matter, upon any Of the five Repub-
lean members of the commission, for
they voted to adopt the resolution,
while Commissioners Allen and Nc
Carron voted against it, After the
meeting Mr.. Lewis, in conversation
with the G 10 b e reporter, said that
perhaps the commission had acted
hastily and would reconsider the res
olution. The resolution as passed,
does not take effect until next Mon
day. Aug. 10.
Prior to the adoption of the foregoing
resolution, Aid. Lindahl offered a reso-
luton instructing the custodian to set
aside and keep the rooms. now oc-
cupied by the commissioners of public
works, for the exclusive use of said
