JOSEPH GREENGARD HURT.
Struck by a Street Car in
St. Paul on Saturday
Evening.

Sundays st. Paul papers contain
accounts OF an accident to Mr..
Joseph Greengard, who lived in this
city several years, and who is u
father to Mrs }. Burton and Louis
Greengard OF this city. The Globe
says:
".j"seph Greengard, living at 40G
East Seventh street. was seriously
injured In a street car accident at the
corner OF Seventh and Locust streets,
shortly after O'Clock last evening.
The scalp was torn from the left side
Of the head and the left arm broken
in four places. In addition to bruises
about other portions OF the body, it
is feared that the man may have re-
ceived internal Injuries. Mr.. Green
gard is IS years old, and his adj
vnncrd age is some what against him
in withstnndlng the shock of the
uccinent.
The injured man conducts a con-
fectiOnery store 1T the number
named. Just before the accident he
started across the street to secure
change for n IS bill, rendered by Il
customer. In attempting to cross
the street, near the corner of Locust
street. an east bound car struck him
with great force, and hurled him to
the pavement. A strange feature of
the accident was that the car never
once slackened it's speed. but con-
tinutd on down the street, and 80
rapid was it's course that none OF
those who witnessed the accident
could distinguish either the number
or the sign boards, but 1t is thought
that 1t was Maria avenue car. A
second car wastOllO wing close in the
rear OF the one that struck Mr..
Greengnrd, and this. too, went by
without those in charge making any
inquiry as to the seriousness of Mr..
Greengard's injuries.
Mr.. GreeDgarl was picked up in an
Unconscious condition and carried to
his home, where DR.. Richardson
dressed his wounds, putting some
twenty stitches in the scalp. 1t is
likely that the injured arm will be
permanently disabled. Several wit
nesses Oi the accident stated that the
car was running at n high rate of
speed, and criticised the action Of tho
operators in not stopping to ascer-
tain how badly Mr.. Greengard was
hurt

ARRESTED FOUR.
Chief Roy and Sheriff Rider

Wanted at Perham.

Chief of Police Roy received tele-
gram this morning to arrest four
men who were driving n Ducksktn-
colored team of ponies. hitched t." a
canvass covered wagon, and leading
dark bay horse behind.
The telegram did not state the
charge against the men, nor give
their names, but Chief Roy was on
the lookout for them. and with
Sheriff Rider effected their arrest
shortly after they arrived in the city
at 10 O'Clock this forenoon.
They were lodged in the county
jail to await the arrival Ut the Per-
ham authorities, who will not likely
reach here before tomorrow morning.
Three Of the party are grown men,
and the fourth q small boy. The
men are named Kenyon, and are
bruthers-Dave. Ellis and Scott. and
the bov is son of David Kenyon,
the oldest man. They moved from

home near Perham, and settled ON

on the land, taking timber from the
land for the house, and intended
buying the land from the state. he
said today that some of his neigh.
burs made complaints about his
cutting any of the timber, and that
he decided to return to Wisconsin.
He sent his family back. and then
started with his team. He says
that the only possible thing the
officers OF Perham can want of him

WHO SUCCEEDS MARTYR
Discussion as to the Nexr
Catholic Bishop of This
Diocese.

The st. Paul and Minneapolis po'
pers are discussing the successOrsh'p
OF Bishop Marty, at st. Cloud. ana
the numes OF Rev. John Stariha, OF
81. Paul. aud Msgr. Bauer, Of ST..
Cloud. are mentioned for the place.
The st. Cloud Times, in speaking VI
the matter probably expresses the
sentiment OF the Catholics OF that
city; it says:
"The candidate most talked OF IN
St. Paul circles, however, Is kew.
John Stnrlha, who Is much In favor
with his grace, Archbishop Ireland.
Of late years, and who is at present
diocesan cOnsultOr, vicar general
pro TEN and holds other offices. 1t
IN generally supposed that he is the
choice OF the archbishop for the st.
Cloud diocese. 1t appears, however,
that there Is a strong opposition
made to him by the priests Of the
diocese of st. Cloud. Shortly alter
the death of Bishop Marty
there was held at st. Cloud Ger
man convention, known az the
"katholiken Tag" Rev. Stariha
was pl ointment there. PERHAPS he
made himself too prominent, as his
inquiries rs to things and persons
Indicated a quasi assurance of future
possession. This I'M pudencc intense
fled the original opposition to him,
and it il presumed that Rome learned
of the sentiment OF the clergy Of st.
Cloud.
1t is no secret that Il strong pc
petition was put in favor OF Mgr.
Bauer to the meeting Of the bishops.
and it is presumed that the bishops
communicated, as was their duty,
the petition to the authorities III
Rome. Ii, in addition to this dncu-
ment, anOt her against the candidacy
| of Rev. John Starihn has gone from
other sources his chances look slim.
Whatever may be the outlook for the
above named gentleman, it is re-
gurtleu as pretty certain TINT the
future bishop Of st. Cloud will be Il
German, who, it is rather hard to
say"

FISHERMAN CAUGHT.
Game Warden Trebby Causes
the Arrest of a Man With a
Large Number of Fish.

Deputy Game Warden Samuel
Trebby today caused the arrest OF
Geo. Brill, Il Polander resident of this
city, for violating the state fish laws.
Brill had been fishing for several
days at Sullivan lake, and brought
down as the results OF his trip 1876
pickerel and pike, which he claims
to have caught with a hook and line
through holes in the ice.
He proceeded to pebble the fish
around the city, and was caught in
the act by the warden.
Brill claims that he misunderstood
the law, which is very likely, for the
best riddle guessers could not tell II
they read it q dozen times. which are
the months of the year. If any, In
which fish can he legally caught.
Trebby claims to have a supreme
court decision which prohibits fish
ing of any kind between the first OF
December and the first OF April, and
says that he will push cases against
all those he finds fishing by any
method during the time between
those dates. He confiscated Brill's
entire catch.
Brill was up before Justice Shaw
this afternoon, and he will likely
nl,ad ouiItv and he let off WITH q
moderate fine.

Sheriff Rider received a telegram
Saturday evening from the deputy
sheriff of Otter Tail county at Per-
ham, ordering the release of the three
Kenyon brothers, who were taken
into custody by Sheriff Rider ON
telegram from the same officer who
sent instructions for their release.
The action on the part Of The au-
thorities of Otter Tail countyin hay
ing the men released, after ordering
their arrest. was quite Il surprise to
Sheriff Rider, and in Il great measure
sustains the claims of the men ar
rested, that they were the victims of
spite work.
Sheriff Rider frequently receives
kilograms and letters from private
individuals asking for the arrest OF
someone, and but little attention Is
given to them, but when an officer
REQUESTS the arrest Of some person
the officer then feels that he has the
authority to do SO, and is not likely
to be the victim of Il suit for damages
for false imprisonment.
TIE ulen stated to Mr.. Rider that
they were confident of being released,
and thanked him for the courteous
treatment they received at his hands.
They did not blame him for their
arrest and said the only incOnven-
fence experienced was the delay on

The farmer covered the $25 and the

owed the machine man $25, and after
the money was all secure and safe,

stakes Of the farmer, and Il suit IL to

claimed that it was not his money
that he bet, as he had Just sold Il
