clothing and several of them absolute
~ naked, edited citizens and upper
claSsmen at 4:30 yesterday afternoon.
The trouble occurred at the conclusion
of a freshman class meeting which was
held in the university gymnasium in
the middle of the afternoon. AS the
members of the class issued from the
building they found about $50 sopho
mores waiting in a body at the door
and no sooner had the freshmen APP
peared upon the threshold than they
were set upon by their enemies and
battle royal ensued The affair was
witnessed by President c. K. Adams.

no serious injuries resulted. but last
night large number of the partici-
pants were severely bruised, many
having been knocked out in the ARRAY.
a majority of the combatantS had
more or less of their clothing, gen

foot ball team was in the forefront of
the battle as became his official po-

The result Of the ARRAY was inglori-
Gus defeat to the sophomore class, and
at the conclusion of the battle several
of its members were ducked in the
lake. Toward the close of the strug-
gle, some one telephOned for the city
police, and the patrol wagon was hur-
ried to the scene. The arrival of the
police turned the minds of the fighters
from their mutual strife to combat the
officers, who are looked upon as ira
ditional enemies of the students, and
a conflict between the officers and stu
dents was narrowly averted The Off
GERS were threatened with a ducking
in Lake Mendoza, the shores of which
were only few rods distant, should
they attempt to make any arrests.
The affair has caused considerable
excitement, and conjectures are afloat
today as to what action the university
authorities will take in the matter.

Kicks. the famous woman window
smasher, put in her appearance here
last night. She was promptly taken in

the police headquarters preparatory
TO being shipped to Red Wing. To
your representative she told tale
which, if true. reflects great discredit
upon the health authorities at Austin.
She says for the past few weeks she
has been working at a house in Aus
tin as a domestic. In the house were
two cases of diphtheria, both children.
The two died of the disease At about
the time Of their death Maria began
her street rambles. She says the Aus
tin authorities were afraid to have her
go about the streets for fear of spread
ing the diphtheria. So they had her
examined for insanity. The probate
court found her sane at present. and
SO the officials gave her TRANSPORTS
ton to Winona- Maria says the con-
ductor greatly objected to having her
on the train, as she is wearing the
same clothes as when working about
the sick beds. Maria says she tried to
smash a car window on her way here
but the conductor stopped her.

AN ALL-ARouND VILLAIN.
Startling Confession From the Miss.
ing Wisconsin Politician.

JUNEAU. Wis, Oct 15.-Au doubt as
te the character of w. T. Rambusch,
whose disappearance last week led to
an investigation which disclosed bust
ness transactions that were, to say the
least. questionable, was removed this
morning when letter was received
from him making confession which
fully substantiates the anticipations of
those who feared the worst.
The letter was dated Phila-
delphia, and addressed to his wife
In the letter. Mr.. Rambusch makes a.
full confession, as complete in detail
as the limits of an ordinary letter will
permit.
The most startling information the
letter contains is that he would take
his life. In fact he expected to be
dead before the letter reached Juneau.
He doubtless was on his way to some
seaport on the Southern Atlantic coast.
where there would be less danger of
apprehension than at New York or
Boston.
The Philadelphia letter contained
quite full accounts of the situation at
Juneau. A duplicate set Of keys to all
the rooms and vaults in the court
house were found among Rambusch's
effects and an examination has re-
vealed the fact that official records
have been freely tempered with.
Startling revelations are now being.
made in regard to the burning of the
Dodge county court house, and the de-
struction of all records in 1877. The
fire was laid at the door of a default
ing county treasurer, but the then dis
tTict attorney had reason to believe
that Mr.. Rambusch had set fire to the
building, and he had such good grounds
that he employed Pinkerton detectives
to work up the case. They found EVIL
dence tending to prove that Ram
busch was the guilty man, but it was
not sufficient to make case, and the
matter was dropped. Nobody ever
knew any thing about it, except the
district attorney and one or two friends,
but the fact now comes out.
Tt is impossible to tell just how much
MIR. Rambusch's stealings amount to,
