One of the most daring robberies which has
been committed in Minneapolis Tor q long
time was perpretrated last night, and the
firm of Sampson & Lundberg, proprietors or
a saloon at 1929 Washington avenue south,
are losers to the extent OF $4s7. which was
taken from their till.
About 10 o'clock last evening two strangers
entered the saloon, and, after buying a lew
drinks, entered a rear room anu pegan "
play cards. After thus engaged TOT some
time they called in Andrew Lundberg, one
of the proprietors, who was alone IN the
front part of the saloon at the time. They
were about to call for drinks, but seemed
undecided as to what they wanted TO nave.
manning in the rear room with them untll
they finally decided what they wanted. He
then brought in their order, and, after drink
ing, the two strangers took their departure.
1t was not long before Lundberg notlced
that a roll of bills, amounting to $497. whlcn
had been in a small box in the till, was miss
ing. Search about the premises failed to re-
veal the whereabouts Of the cash, and sus-
picion was directed towards the mysterious
strangers. The South side police were not1-
fed, and a description Of the two men was
furnished. Officer John Thompson soon ar
rested one of the men, who gave his name
as Edward G. Johnson. On his person q
large revolver was found, and he was locked
up at the South side station on the charge
of carrying concealed weapons. The other
man who was in the card game, and a third
party, supposed to have committed the rob-
berry, had not been captured up to an early
hour this morning, although the police d.
rected every effort towards capturing the
supposerd thieves.
The police are convinced that the deed was
committed by three as slick sneak thieves as
ever were in the city. The scheme was evil
IDENTIFY a deep laid one, and was carried to a
most successful termination. The two men
in the card game purposely entered into the
discussion as to the drinks, the ruse being to
keep Lundberg, who was the only other per-

ANOTHER ATTACK ON SPEAKER

FINALLY ORDERED BY THE GEAR
OF THE HOUSE TO BE
QUIET.
CONSIDERATION OF INDIAN BILL.
Disposed of With the Exception of
the Provision Opening Indian
Lands In Utah.

WASHINGTON, May 13.-The Indian
appropriation bill was disposed Of by
the house today, with the exception Of
the provision for opening the Utah
lands, which was ~postponeded until
Monday. The conference report, which
establishes an Indian warehouse at
Omaha, ratifies the lease of the Seneca
Oil lands and adds one judge to the
Indian territory courts, was adopted
by a vote of 81 to Al. Nearly two hours
was consumed in a parliamentary
sQuabble on the point, raised by MI.
Wheeler, of Alabama, that the rule for
semi-weekly sessions was in violation
of the constitution.
Mr.. Simpson pop, Kan.) endeavored
to renew his attack Upon the speaker,
for failing to appoint committees, and
censured the Republicans for not mus
tering a quorum. He was declaring
that there were more Democrats and
Populists than Republicans present,
when the speaker sustained the point
that he was out Of order.
IT have been in doubt whether I
had any rights in this house lately"

PEELED to take his seat under the rule.
Mr.. Payne Rep., N. " called Mr..
Simpson to order, and to him the Kan
san said:
1.-THE speaker recognizes that will
do his bidding and you will get a
good place on a committee all right. I
know that there is a good deal Of
anxiety on that point among the Re-
publicans."
This taunt moved Mr.. Dingley n w.
A. Stone Rep., Pa.) to call Mr.. Simpson
to order. The question whether Mr..
Simpson should be permitted to pro-
coed in order was put to the house,
and many Republicans voted no, while
others refrained from voting, so Mr..
Simpson, by a vote Of 80 to 81, was
given the floor. When Mr.. Simpson
proceeded, however, his statements
caused the speaker to declare him out
OF order. Thereupon several Demo-
Gratis protested against Mr.. Simpson
being taken from the floor. In explana-
ton, Mr.. Reed said: az
"The chair submits to the house that
criticisms of what the chair did at
some past time, are no In order, not
because the chair is above criticism or
above attack, but because the speaker
is the speaker Of the house n such
attacks are not conducive to order. The
speaker cannot reply to them except
in a fragmentary manner, and it is not
desirable thai reply be made. If any
objection is to be made to the speakers
conduct, it can be made at h time and
direct"
There was some flibustering, after
which the house finally decided that Mr..
Simpson could not speak, .whereupon,
he appealed to the chair to be informed

1.-The chair has never been able to
find anybody who knew that" was the
reply.

ST. CLOUD HAS FIRST CLAIM.
Mill City Prisoners Taken There OF
Charges Of Forgery.

The woman, Mrs. Van Worst, who was ar
rested in this city, charged with vagrancy,
and whose partner, Gardiner, was charged
with carrying concealed weapons, was in st.
Cloud several days ago and passed checks on
two firms there for $9.45 and $40 respectively.
The checks have proved to be forgeries. Chief
of Police Wheeler, of st. Cloud, came to Min
neapolis and interviewed the woman, who ad-
mitted that she had presented the worthless
paper at st. Cloud, but alleged that she did SO
at the request Of Gardiner, whom she also
claimed forged the paper. They were both
taken to st. Cloud, where they were given a
hearing Wednesday morning before Judge
Martin. Mrs. Van Worst pleaded guilty, but
Gardiner, who is a paroled reformatory con-
Wet, pleaded not guilty. He claimed that he
had nothing to do with the forgery, and that
he was being made the victim, at the insti-
cation Of the Van Worst woman, in the hope
of shielding the guilty party, a man by the
name of Lindstrom, who accompanied her to
that city, but later left for Minneapolis, and
when wanted, his whereabout could not be
learned. Lindstrom is also an ex-inmate of the
reformatory, and Superintendent Houlton ex-
presses the opinion that Gardiner is too
shrewd to attempt a forgery of so small an
amount on the very eve of his final discharge,
now being out on parole. Mrs. Van Worst was
recently fired" out of Brainerd, and located
In St. Cloud, where she has been leading a
life of rather que fashionable char acser. The hear
ing was continued, both parties being re-
manded to Jail.

The advisory athletic board of the Univer-
sity Athletic association held a meeting yes
terday afternoon for the purpose of voting
on the admission of applicants to the West
ern Athletic association. Each member of
the. association casts it's vote by mail, and
the colleges admitted as determined by this

braska, Of Lincoln, Neb. An adverse vote
was cast on the applications of Drake univer-
sity, of Des Moines, To-; Kalamazoo college,
of kalamazoo, Mich, and st. Marks college,
Of Chicago.
There will be no trouble about the pro-
testing of entries for the Western intercol-
legiate meet this year. The chairman of
the graduates committee, which has control
of the meet will require entries to be in by
May %, and they will be published, and all
protests received by the 9th. After that
date protests will be invalid, and the usual
trouble during the meet avoided.
Manager Colwell stated yesterday that the
prospects for the dual meet next Monday were
very bright. The meet has been well adver-
tised, and a large crowd is expected. Owing
to the fact that only about fifteen feet of the
new track has been completed, trial heats will
be necessary in the dashes and bicycle races.

Normand was given a preliminary examina-
ton in court today, and bound over to the
June term of court on two complaints, one
charging the murder of Andrew Hillestad, the
other of Oscar Hillestad. Mrs. Hillestad was
the only witness, and told the story as here
tofore published in the GLOBE. She was
not cross examined.
The examination was held in the city hall;
the doors were locked, no one being admitted
except the court officials and representatives
Of the press. There was quite a crowd of
spectators on the outside, which at times
caused the prisoner to exhibit signs of un-
easiness, but as there was no demonstrations
he soon became more at ease.
AS soon as the examination was concluded
the prisoner, closely guarded by officers, was
removed from the court room to the carriage
in waiting and was rapidly driven to the
county Jail and placed in his cell, which is
the same as that occupied by the Cando muir
derer, Bomberger, from whence he will not
again emerge until the day of his trial at

last month the business men of the city
have been victim1zed by coin sweaters.
The populations have been conducted

bankers first discovered the light
weight in some of the gold pieces about
three weeks ago and commenced
weighing every gold coin deposited.
The $40 coins would be short about 81,
while about $3.50 would be short on a
$40. Complaint was made to Chief of
Police Donavan, who arrested this
evening the trio above named and a
cripple who is a stranger in the city.

dence against all the parties, who are
IN Jail and will have a hearing before
