IN PRACTICE AGAIN.
The ST. Paul Polo Club Ready for a
Match.

Frank Barren, captain of the st.
Paul Polo club, challenges the club
that wins the first prize in the car
nival polo tournament, the game to be
played upon the Aurora park skating
rink before the close of the carnival
1t is quite probable that the chal-
lenge will be accepted, in which case a
lively game may be looked for
The ST. Paul club was in its balmy
days the crack team of the Northwest
and the reorganization will be hailed
with delight. The reorganization, how
ever, will doubtless not be permanent
as the move was made more to add a
good feature to the carnival than to
gain honor upon the polo rink The
members are Gus Zenzius, Con Zenzius,
Frank Barren. Charles Robertson, W.
J. Murnane, Paul Kleist and Charles
Trot. The club was organized with
these members in 1885, and for the
next four years held a monopoly on all
polo contests in this part of the coun-
try. Whether they can make the
showing now that they did then re-
mains a question, for they are all con-
siderably out of practice. But 1t is
safe to say that they will not be easily
vanquished and their game will be
feature of the carnival we'll worth
seeing.

that the previous record was Donog
hue's 6:03 Is. The G | o b e has good
authority for stating that Donoghue's
record really was GOT, so if Mr.. David
son was entitled tn anything he should
have been given the lot. Harold Hag-
en-, however, made the same distance
in SAB As at Christiania Feb. %, 1892.
Mr.. Davidson might have a show for
claiming the American record for the
distance on the result of this race but
for the fact that the track was dis
covered to be short nearly a quarter
of a mile In each mile-270 feet to the
lap, to be exact. This would make the
race skated not at a record-breaking
pace, but at leisurely gait Of 7:47A.
Even allowing a shortage on the track,
then, of 270 feet to the nominal mile,
the actual rate of the race would have
been 6:13 and a fraction, or much
above the records mentioned, even in
the Pioneer.
In this connection it may be well to
give the amateur records that are rec
ogniZed from one-Quarter UP to 100
miles Tbeu ara fO11OyUc.

Rev. Mr.. Lewis, pastor of the Ar

opinion of Mr.. Lewis, the church field
had become too narrow. 1t was time
more activities were evidenced and
the practical work of the church en-
larged. He would interest the young
men in church work. This could be
done by going among them, cultivating
their fellowship and establishing re-
sorts presided over by Christian influ-
ehces, where they might congregate
and enjoy innocent amusements. in
stead of having to visit saloons for
their entertainment. Rev David Nor
gan was called upon and spoke along
the same line as Rev. Lewis, particr.
larly emphasizing the too narrow con,
fines Of the present church work.

JACK FLYNN CUT IN THE NECK
BY ONE OF HIS CON-
PANIONS.
SAIn TO BE ANTON FRANKIE.
QUIET STABBING AFFRAY THAT Is
NOT EXPECTED TO RESULT
SERIOUSLY.
STORY LEARNED BY THE POLICE.
The Trouble believed to Have Been
the Result of Some Former
Observation-Disclosures.

Jack Flynn, aged twenty-four a welt
erweight prize fighter, was stabbed in
the throat yesterday morning at YAH
sens saloon, Washington and Seventh
streets, by an assailant alleged to be
Anton FRANKIE, a young man without
definite occupation. Flynn is not dam
gerously wounded. The two men had
attended ball given in the vicinity,
and which lasted until about 5 a. m.
Then they, with several friends, spent
an hour in saloon on st. Peter street.
At both the ball and the saloon Flynn
and FRANKIE are said to have exchanged
angry words in reference to a certain
woman who is particular friend of
F'ranke's, and who, according to the
story told to the police, complained to
him that she had been rudely accosted
last week by Jack Flynn. About a.
m. Flynn, FRANKIE, Judd Kelly, Gene
Carrier and another man went over to
Vahsen's saloon. The barkeeper, Theo-
dore Wagner, was just opening up.
He says that the party asked for free
drinks, but were refused. Then Flynn
and FRANKIE remained near the counter,
while the other three men crossed the
room and stood near the stove. The
barkeeper stopped down back of the
bar to get botte, and he heard FRANKIE
say to Flynn:
Come hear, I want to tell you some
thing"
When the barkeeper Strengthened up
Flynn was bending his head down and
blood was trickling from his chin.

Wagner.

Flynn.
FRANKIE was then disappearing
through the side door into Washington
street. The men near the stove after
wards explained that when Flynn ap-
preached FRANKIE under the expectation
of being told something, FRANKIE placed
his left hand around FIynn's neck and
drew back his head and struck him in
the neck with the other hand, which
evidently contained a small knife hid
den from view. Considerable delay en-
sued before the police were notified, or
FRANKIE would have been captured, for,
Immediately after leaving the saloon,
he passed several officers in the vicin-
ity.
At length Officer Gruber was called
upon. He notified Drs. Martel and APP
pleby. Dr. Appleby found that F'lynn's
wound was cut extending about four
inches from the base of the chin along
the left side of the neck. and severing
merely the superficial blood vessels of
the neck. An overcoat had prevented
more serious injuries. DR.. Appleby
bandaged the incision and sent Flynn
to the city hospital. where the latter
was reported last night to be in a fair
way to rapid recovery. FRANKIE will
doubtless be captured this morning He
is tWenty-eight years old, and, it is
said has never been arrested for pre-

FINISH WAS THRILLING.
McCullOch Wins the Three-MiIe
Race at Desperate Odds.

A three-mile scratch skating race
of the right sort took place at Aurora
park yesterday afternoon. j. K. Nc
Culloch, the Winnipeg skater, added
one more trophy to his list, Since his
advent here he has come as near hav-
ing things his own way at the rink as
any man would desire But all of his
accomplishments have been merited,
for he has had against him some of
the fieetest men in the Northwest and
they have all been doing good work,
as the time made will show
There were fourteen starters in the
race, and it was thus necessary to
skate trial heats. Two three-lap heats
were accordingly Skated, the three
leaders in which were entered for the
final These were Davidson, Nelson
Pannell, McCulloch, Johnson and Sud-
heimer.
On the start all got off together and
staid in a bunch during the first lap
Nelson then took the lead, closely fol-
lowed by Johnson, and this order was
maintained until the end of the first
half, when Davidson took a squirt and
amid the cheers of his admirers, placed
himself ten yards ahead of the bunch
He soon fell back, and the rest of the
first mile was finished without any
thing thrilling. When they passed the
scratch for the second mile, Nelson
made a good play and took the lead,
followed at three yards by Sudheimer;
the latter soon got into first place,
however, and struck a gait that made
the judges feel he would be the win
ner. At the end of the half however.
he weakened and Davidson took the
head of the line, with Johnson second
and McCulloch third This arrange
ment thoroughly suited the witnesses,
for the three were favorites, and the
way they punched indicated that there
would be a lively finish. But Pannell
was game, and soon placed himself at
Davidson's side, and the second mile
was finished in this order. In the
| first lap of the last mile McCulloch
| fell to the rear and Pannell went back
| to the bunch, leaving Davidson and
Johnson the field, which they CALAMITY
| held until the end Of the half David
| son now shifted back to third place.
| McCulloch came UP to second johnson
| went back to the bunch, and Nelson,
| by an admirable squirt, took the lead
by four yards. Until the middle of the
last half of the race it looked as if it
would be finished in this order, and
those who had admired McCulloch and
| banked on his work, felt that he would
| be left out of it. But they were agree
ably surprised. With squirt that was
nothing less than thrilling he flew
| ahead Of Nelson, crossing the finish line
by a lead of several yards. Davidson
finished third, but he was only foot
behind the second. The finish was with
| al an exceptionally interesting one,
| and McCulloch once more showed his
| tendency to make sensational finishes

WENT FROM MINNEAPOLIS.
A Great Crook Has Been Enjoying
Life There.


Minneapolis has been harboring for
some time past che of the really great
crooks of the country without knowing
it. At least he ted the Chicago police
last week that he had been living in
Minneapolis. The man is Harry Mey-
ers, alias MuldoOn, alias Morton. Mey-
ers claimed that he had been in Chi
cagO but day or two when arrested.
He was exhibited to the central sta
ton police at roll call, and then turned
loose. with the warming that he is to
be arrested on sight.
Meyers career would make good ma
terial for the warmest of detective sto-
ries. AS he sat in the inspectors
office in Chicago the other day old,
gray and shabby, it was remarked that
he looked like a desperate criminal,
and especially unlike the handsome,
Gashing fellow with a curly mustache
and a wilderness of diamonds on his
shirt, who was known as the Harry
Meyers of long ago. THE pen" has left
its marks upon him, and he is broken
wreck of one so great, III earlier days,
that the younger detectives crowded
around him open-mouthed and google
eyed when they heard who he was.
In 1879 Meyers was arrested in Chi
cago on a charge of burglary, and
lodged in the county Jail. One morn
ing he walked through the jail clerks
Office, coolly opened the door, passed
out, locked the door and departed, pur-
sued by a dozen men. A few months
later he was implicated in a robbery
at Belleville, ILL.,, was arrested and TAX
en- back to that little town. He prom
Used to show the sheriff where the stol-
en- goods were hidden, and drove out
in a buggy with the official. A party of
Meyers friends surrounded the buggy
when 1t reached a lonely spot in the
road, and the sheriff was persuaded
with guns to give UP the prisoner.
In 1886 masked men entered the house
Of John Fairbanks, a wealthy farmer,
living near Wheaton, Ill, and robbed
him Of $4,000 worth of government
bonds. Capt. Horace Elliott, then
detective, was put on the case, and,
with his partner, Wiley, traced the
stolen bonds to st. Louis. Meyers was
arrested, but made so strong a fight
against returning to Illinois that ELL
lott had to send for Fairbanks and
his wife. Mrs. Fairbanks fully iden-
tilted Meyers, and the criminal was
brought back in triumph. He was
tried, convicted, despite desperate eff
forts to prove an alibi, and was given
fourteen years at Joliet. This sentence
he served, less deductions for good con-
duct. His partner in the Fairbanks
robbery was supposed to be Billy Muir
ray, but the police could never fasten
the crime upon him. He was caught
with a stolen bond in his sleeve how
ever, and was given year for at
tempting to dispose Of stolen property.

MUSIC OF MASTERS.
Fine Programme Rendered at Yes.
terday's Concert.


Classical as was the programme pre-
pared by Director Seibert for the sixth
concert of his series yesterday afternoon,
was none the less a pleasurable one
to the large audience which filled Con-
over hall. Two of the numbers were
new to local band concerts, and they
were exquisite. One was a diadem Of
gems from Verdi's Simon Roccane-
era" and the composers best work was
culled from the opera by the director
of yesterdays programme. The other
number was Serenade by Grote, per-
formed yesterday for the first time in
st. Paul. Both these We're we'll receiv-
ed and promise to be frequent in subse-
quent request programmes. Beetho-
Yen's seventh symphony, Gruenwald's
overtures "Medofa" and Tampa, were
among, the numbers. of a we'll rounded
and strictly high-class programme.
The vocal portion Of the programme
was furnished by Messrs. John F. Gehan
and A. Nelson, who sang the cele-
brated Liberty duet from Bellini's
pretty opera, "PPuritani," with an Or
chestral accompaniment especially ar
ranged by Director Seibert. 1t was a
happy selection, and entirely worthy
the dignity Of the remainder of the
programme.

j. X. MCULLOCH, OF WINNIPEG,
DID A FAST MILE YESTERDAY
AFTERNOON.
WENT UNPACED AGAINST TIME,
BUT DIDN'T QUITE REACH THE
+, RECORD, WHICH WAS MADE
IN COMPETITION.
SOME FAIRY RECORDS ALLOWED
by st. Paul Newspaper, Which Al
lows IA Mark for Each TumuI-
tuOus Shout.

]. K. McCulloch, the fast skater from
Winnipeg, came as near reaching O
mark that might have been a record
upon the Aurora park track yesterday
as any skater who has appeared dur
ing the carnival. 1t is possible he
may set a new pace for the world S
skaters before the close Of the carni-
val. In a one-mile trial against time
he came within one-tenth of a second
of equaling the worlds official record
for that event. The recognized record
was made by T. Thomas and o. Grun-
den Feb. %, 1890. at Stockholm, the
time being 2:55 2-5. That was made on
f1ve-lap track, and possibly in COM
petition. McCulloch ma de the distance
in 2:5512 on a six-lap track AS a mat
ter of fact, the one-mile record is held
by j. f. Donoghue, who covered the
distance en- the Hudson in PIP 3-5 AS
he doubtless had advantages in his
trial, the work of Thomas is fairer to
judge McCulloch by, although there is
little doubt but what he is some dis
lance from record mark, even if the
second measurements of the track are
absolutely correct. Tomorrow he will
ord for the same event
His work yesterday was impromptu.
1t was not upon the regular programme.
He did not have any intention of max
ing the trial five minutes before the
start
McCulloch has style about his work
that is attractive, and causes him to
be picked for a favorite at the first
stroke. There is a graceful manner Of
carriage and an easy glide that is
purely individual, and after once see
ing him in a race it is not necessary to
catch his number thereafter. for he
can be picked from all the others by
his stroke. In yesterdays skate he
took things apparently easy until the
last lap, when he quickened his speed
perceptibly.
B. B. and T. L. Bird were timekeep-
ers. and when they announced the
time, the immense crowd responded
with vigorous and long-continued
cheers.
McCulloch is picked as a winner for
several of the events in the meet Of
the National Amateur Skating associa-
ton, which opens tomorrow and con-
tinues until Thursday. Those who
have studied his work believe that he
has all the necessary makeup for a
worlds record-breaker and that he has
perhaps the brightest prospects Of any
Of the skaters now at the carnival. He
is yet quite young man, and has only
made pretense at fast skating for two
seasons. He has in that time won
many trophies and is looked upon by
Canadians as one OF their swiftest skat-
erS.

ANDREW PFAFF GONE.
Another EARLY Settler Goes to His
Long Reward.

Andrew Pfaff, a resident of ST. Paul
since 1862, and in the early days a
prominent figure in business and po-
litical circles, died yesterday at II
O'Clock at his home 1852 Woodward
avenue. An attack Of pneumonia was
the direct cause of death.
Mr. Pfaff was born in Germany JAN
5, 1872. In. 1853 he came to America
and settled in Freeport, ILL.,, removing
to New Ulm in 1856. There he re-
manned until after the Indian out
break when he came to st. Paul, and
has since made his residence here.
He was prominent contractor in the
early days, and had charge of the
grading of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul between st. Paul and Min
neapolis and Mendoza. He also held
various public positions, weighmaster
being among them.
He leaves a wife, whom he married
siXty-two years ago, three daughters,
Mrs. e. #. Krahmer, Mrs. Alfred Brad
ley, Mrs. Theodore Buckle, and one
son, Daniel, who is in the ministry.

But after the track was measured
and the error found, the young man
with the mathematical brain at the
Pioneer office was again frantically
led away by the glare Of lights and
the cheers Of eXultant multitudes so
that yesterday mornings paper con-
tains further evidences of his profess
sional downfall. He declared in large
letter, top of column, first page, that
the worlds record was again broken,
ten miles this time, basing this on the
statement that the best previous rec
ord was that of A. D. Smith, 3S:43A,
made at the Edgerton rink in this city
two years ago next month. McCul-
loch, of Winnipeg, Saturday night,
made it in 1905 on the revised track,
so to speak, which is not a bad rec
ord, but instead of his looping off more
than five minutes from the worlds
record Mr.. McCulloch's Pioneer Press
champion ignores the fact that A. D.
NorSeng, the naive son of Norway,
on one occasion made ten miles in
32:3SA, which is twenty-six seconds
faster than Mr.. McCulloch's time. 1t
is hardly worth while to multiply fig
ures, but it is a source of some curl
oSity to know where the Pioneer Press
young man gets his figures, for not
only has Mr.. NorSeng made faster time
than McCulloch's, but there are 9TH
fiat.
This was possibly before the Pioneer
Press man went into business but if
he had looked in any authentic collec-
ton of sporting records, even those
contained in the current edition of the
Pioneer Press almanac, he would have
discovered his error,

CITIZENSHIP LEAGUE WORK.
Third In the Series of Mass Meetings
Held Yesterday.

The third of the series of mass
meetings which are being conducted in
the different churches of the city, I'M

izenship league, took place at the
Grace NJ. e. church yesterday after
noon. A large audience was in attend
ance, and evidenced on interested at
tention in the remarks of the speak
ers. Mrs. Root, of Hamline, who has
for. some time been actively engaged
in rescue work." spoke upon this
phase of the Citizens league work
Having been in the work, she was ac-
quainted with it's needs, and after de-
failing several pathetic incidents with
in her experience, urged a renewal of
effort in this line of reformation and
an increase in the facilities for carry
ing it on.
Rev. ]. W. Conley, of the First Bap-
fist church, spoke upon the Enforce
ment Of Sunday Law" claiming it was
wholly within the province of citizens
