swered the call. When they reached
Newman's farm the man was perfect
ly rational, and did not appear to have
any objections to the wound being sew
ed up. He would not submit to being
chloroformed during the operation. The
operation was one that called for the
greatest care. Several stitches had to
be taken on the inside of the thOrax,
after which the external wound could
be cared for. In all twenty stitches
were necessary. The physicians had no
sooner completed their work than the
man grabbed his throat with both
hands, and tore the wound open again,
completely undoing their work. The
man was now placed under the in
fluence of chloroform and the operation
again successfully accomplished. His
hands were then bound behind his
back. In this position he was taken
to Glencoe, from which place DR.. Sche-
felix brought him to Minneapolis. He
was placed in the baggage car, and
laid upon a cot while a strap was
placed about him to hold him securely.
In some way while DR.. Shefeik was not
looking he managed to disengage the
strap, and made a rush for the open
door. He was caught by baggage
car man, and placed on the cot, this
time more securely. Since then he has
shown no further disposition to COM
nit suicide. At the hospital he was
given careful attention, and his recov-
cry is certain. Newman is a widower
and has four children. The oldest,
daughter, is dying from consumption.
To this he attributes his attempt to
end his life. Last evening he very ra-
tionally stated that he wishes to die
before she did

ON THE GRIDIRON.
The Weather So Warm the Players
Do Not Turn Out Well.

The football men at the university
are saying harsh things against the
weather man and are threatening dire
vengeance if 1t does not get colder. These
padded and dusty warriors of the grid
iron don't like warm weather. 1t takes
good, sharp, cool day, with tinge of
frost in the air, to make them happy.
Then they are in their element. The
coach and captain are also somewhat
anxious about the weather, as the
warm days have caused the numerous
candidates for the teams to find other
and more cooling pastimes.
Last evening there was barely enough
men on the field to find a second team
for the varsity men to practice upon,
and even then the best men of both
teams were nowhere in sight. Reynolds,
Smith, Scandrett, La Fans, Mcclure
and half a dozen others did not show
up, and instead of there being a feel
ing of gladness and confidence, woe and
CONSERVATION were pictured upon the
faces of the coach and captain. Wood
worth is laid up and several Of the
candidates for quarter have failed to
appear for several days. Brooks, a
promising man, has not even appeared
on the field as a spectator for several
days. Cole cannot do all the work
even if he is a perfect whirlwind, and
both Brown and Mayo are ineXperienc-
ed and liable to injury.
The team needs good man at center
and right guard Mcclure, a big fresh
man from ST. Paul, was out one day
and handled the various candidates
with ease, and it was predicted that he
would make the team. However, his
parents are said to be against his play
ing. Smith at right guard would be
just the man he would get out. An
experienced man like him is needed in
view of the weakness at center. Kot-
laba works hard at the latter position,
but can be improved upon. La Fans
for guard is too light, and both TeW
and Parsons are new at the game.

the defense has kept in view from the
beginning. Frank Odorofsky and
Frank Bialk testified that the floor OF
the basement, near the middle vat, was
covered with grease, which had flowed
from the vat. DR.. RieSe testified that
the residue from both of the bodies
boiled in the vat, was very little. EX-
Judge Vincent declared this statement
suhstantiated the story of the defense
that Luetgert was making soap in the
vat, and that the grease in the soap
boiled over and flowed on the floor.
Ida Larsen, who was at the dance
in Divonsey hall, opposite Luetgerts
factory, on the night of May l, was
called to the stand to impeach Emma
Schimpke, relative to the latter seeing
Luetgert and his wife walking towards
the factory at IL o'clock that night.
She declared that Emma Schimpke
was not at the hall or near it at II
o'clock. She added also, that Luetgert
bought beer for some of the girls who
were dancing that night. Luetgert will
probably go on the stand in his own
behalf Thursday.

POSSIBLY TWO OLsONs.
A .'FIoater" and Lunatic of the
Same Name.

Is the body of the man found floating
in the river yesterday that of Gilbert
Olson, who disappeared from his home
at 1923 Sixth street north, Sept 10?
That is the question which began to
puzzle the police at an early hour yes
terday morning. People at the South
Minneapolis junction found a man
wandering aimlessly about at an early
hour. The Third precinct police were
notified and took him to the station.
The fellow was very much unbalanced
mentally, but other than giving his
name as Gilbert Olson, he could give
no account of himself. Besides being
demented he is also i'll. Lieut.. Walton,
of the station, having read about Oh
sons body having been discovered,
stated that he was certain that the
Identification was a mistake as the in
sane man answers the description, be-
sides insisting that Olson is his name.
However, the body of the ''f1oater" was
identified yesterday at the morgue and
the remains taken by relatives for in
terment The identity of the insane
man will be cleared up today. Possibly
there are two Gilbert Olsons who have
disappeared.

HER SPINE AFFECTED.
Dolly Owens Must Die From Her
Injuries.

In all probability the shooting affray
of Monday afternoon, in which Dolly"
Owens was shot down by Charles Bass,
will turn out to be a brutal murder.
There is practically no chance for the
injured woman to recover. She has
grown steadily worse since the fright
full assault occurred and the physicians
think it is only matter of hours be-
fore she dies. Although resting easily,
Mrs. Owens remained in a most crit1
cal condition. 1t has been discovered
that the bullet located in her spine and
that she is gradually being stricken
with complete paralysis. She will say
nothing of the crime, save what size
has already told. She simply denies
that she ever induced Bass to love her,
and she denies also that Bass did have
any affection for her. Her belief is
that he only wanted her money, and
that the moment he found himself
thwarted he drove a deadly bullet into
her breast in a mad paraoXysm Of
wrath and fiendish brutality.
Charles Bass, colored, the assailant
of Mrs Dolly Owens, appeared in the
municipal court yesterday with an
amazing air of Indifference. He was
charged with assault in the first de-
gree, and the case was set for Oct. 1
until the condition of his patient
changes. Bail was fixed at $4,000.

ANNULLING A MARRIAGE.
Why Emerson Townsend Wants to
BE Rid of His Wife.

It is not always divorces that are
asked for in the district court, for often
there are other ways of getting a sep
GRAFTON from hateful bonds. Emerson
e. Townsend was married to the maid
en- of his choice in Minneapolis, Nov.
g. 1885. That was a line time ago,
and in fact it took long time for
the plaintiff to ascertain that he had
never really had a wife after all. Ac-
cording to his story, two years before
he took the woman for his wife, she
had married c. G. Nelson, in st. Paul,
the wedding taking place Sept, 26, 1888.
Mr.. Townsend is not vindictive man.
He does not ask the grand jury to in
terfere and punish his supposed wife
for bigamy. but will be amply salts
fed if the district court will grand an
order annulling the marriage. Herbert
w. Cherry served the papers upon the
defendant personally Sept %, and she
will have an opportunity to make an
swer within twenty days.
