MIR. NELL WILL FIGHT 1T.
Validity of the Bicycle Ordinance

Validity OF the bicycle ordnance
About Lanterns Quest1omed.
James Neill, Of the Giffen-Nein stock
company, who was arrested Saturday
night on the charge Of violating the
bicycle ordinance, as told in the
G. l o b e of Sunday, appeared for trial
in the police court yesterday. Mr..
his bicycle with lantern, as is re-
quired by the new ordinance. Through
his attorney, Herman Oppenheim, the
accused admitted the alleged offense,
but also entered a plea of not guilty,
as result of determination to fight
the case on the ground of the unconsti-
tutionaltty Of the ordinance. This po-
sition was taken by Mr.. Oppenheim
when the prosecution called Officer
O'Neill to the stand to testify as to
the arrest of Mr.. O'Netll.
1--WE will admit" said Mr. Oppen-
helm, "that the defendant was last Sat-
urday evening riding a bicycle upon
the streets of st. Paul without having
attached thereto g. lantern, but we ask
for the discharge Of the defendant,
upon the ground that the ordinance
extends the enacting powers of the
council beyond that allowed by the
charter, and, furthermore, because it
is unreasonable and foolish"
The charter, Mr.. Oppenheim claimed,
gave the council no right to regulate
the style of wheel which should be rid
den, nor was the municipal body en-
powered to legislate as to it's equip
ment The council had a right, no
doubt, to enact a law against fast or
reckless driving or riding on the
streets, but nowhere in the charter,
Mr.. Oppenheim declared, was there
provision for the regulation of bicycles
or any other kind of a vehicle The
section Of the ordinance requiring
bicyclist to have lighted lantern on
his wheel after sunset, when it was
an undisputed fact that, in this part Of
the country it was daylight several
hours after sunset, Mr.. Oppenhiem de-
clared was so ridiculous that it would
not be upheld by the courts.
On the grounds advanced. Mr.. OPP
penheim moved for his clients dismiss
sal, but Judge Orr stated that if the
case wereoro be contested on points of
law instead of fact. 1t would be neces-
sary to take continuance. The mat
ter was, therefore, postponed until this
afternoon. 1t is stated by both Mr.
O'Neill and his attorney that, If a con-
viction results in the municipal court,
the matter will be-carried as a test
case before the supreme court.

CHARLES sDGrs sALeoN ON WEST
SEVENTH, AND J. F. KORNs'
HOUSE ENTERED.
WAS DeNE SUNDAY MORNING.
THREE YOUNG MEN ROUNDED UP
CHARGED WITH COMMITTING
THE CRIME.
CONFESSION MADE BY ONE MAN,
1t Is Said, Led to the Arrest of the
Other TwO-StOlen Property
Found.

A trio of young men were rounded
up by Detectives Gruber and Murnane
and Officer Mccall yesterday on the
charge Of burglary. They are Frank
Bilej, living with his parents at 525
Bay street; Fred Viota, Of 513 Bay
street, and Joseph Moschek, living at
415 Arbor street. Two accusations Of
burglary are lodged against viota and
Moschek. while Bilej is charged with
only one offense.
The young men, it is alleged, are re-
sponsible for the burglarizing of the
saloon of Charles Segi, 1913 West Sew
enth street, and the residence of L. F..
Korns, 1859 st. Clair street, early last
Sunday morning. The three, it is
thought by the police. were implicated
In the saloon robbery where keg Of
beer, 1,200 cigars, several bottles Of
liquor and 80 cents in money was taken.
An entrance was secured through a
basement window. by which the
thieves escaped with their booty. After
the saloon robbery it is alleged that
Viota and Moschek broke in the rear
door of Korns' residence and ransack-
ed the house from top to bottom. The
place was damaged by fire week ago
and was untenanted, though valuable
household effects were left behind the
bolted doors. At this lace an expen-
sive marble clock VS. stolen, also a
parlor lamp and gold watch chain,
together with numerous smaller arti-
cles.
Both burglaries were reported to the
police Sunday morning, and Detectives
Gruber and Murnane detailed to bring
In the perpetrators. The detectives
worked all day and the greater part
Of Sunday night. as there was no clue
to the identity Of the thieves, but sue
ceeded in connecting Bilej with the sa-
loon robbery, and arrested him at his
home early yesterday morning. When
taken to the central station, it Is said,
he made confession duplicating
Moschek and Viota, and also credited
the Korns burglary to them.
While the detectives were searching
for the two men in the vicinity Of their
homes yesterday afternoon, they were
arrested on East Seventh street by
Officer Mccall, who found them trying
to dispose Of the clock and lamp taken
from the Korns' residence. Officer Nc
Call knew nothing of the burglary but
sent Moschek and Viota to the station
on suspicion. When searched a watch
chain and charm taken from Korns'
house and also number Of other arti-
cles identified by the owner were found
in their possession. The prisoners are
each about twenty years of age. They

BANKING METHODS
As shown In Civil Case before
Judge Bum.

JuOHC DunAs
Minnesota Savings bank methods
seem to have been involved In an ac-
ton that came before Judge Bum this
morning, and which was on trial the
greater part of the day. Albert H.
Bunde and his wife are the plaintiffs.
and the Minnesota Savings bank and
the Allemannia bank and their respec-
tive receivers are the defendants.
Plaintiff says that in March, 1896, the
Minnesota Savings bank proposed to
loan him $1,000, on the joint note and
mortgage Of himself and his wife.
Deducting the expenses Of the loan,
there remained a balance of 81, 1880.
The savings bank agreed to pay a note
due from plaintiff to c. Raschke, and
credit plaintiff with the balance. The
bank paid him $500 in cash, paid taxes
to the amount of $2S0.52. Bunde drew
checks on the bank to the amount OF
$159, making an apparent overdraft.
The bank never paid the Raschke
note. The bank charged Bunde $41
commission and $50 advance interest.
Plaintiff was not advised of the COM
mission until later. as he says, and al
leges that it, with the interest, makes
the note usurious and voidable. There
was an apparent default in the pay
ment of the first interest coupon
BickePs statement to plaintiff is as
follows: Abstract, $40; commission.
s45; six months interest $50; cash, $500;
taxes paid, $2S0.5O; assuming Rasckke
note, $780, bank account, $170; leaving
due Bunde, $21450. But Bunde has
statement, as follows: Cash, $500; at
torney's fees, $40; taxes, $3.50; checks
paid, $157.80; total, 1882, leaving Il
balance due him from Bickel Of $751.68.
This Bunde note was given by Bickel
to the Allemannia bank among other
collateral to that bank, but was not
indorsed until the insolvency Of the
bank. Mr.. Bunde asks that the entire
transaction be found usurious, that the
proper Endorsements be made on the
note and coupons, and that the defend
ants be enjoined from selling or col
lecting or disposing Of the note. The
question before the court is: The note
having been indorsed after the suspen-
sion, is it not open to all the equities
Of the original parties. The court
found for the plaintiff.

WIND Up IT'S AFFAIRS.
State Auditor Moves Against Duluth
Boom Company.

Boom Company.
State Auditor Dunn has requested the
attorney general to commence suit
against the Duluth Boom company
with view to dissolving it's franchises
and winding up it's affairs on the
grounds of non-user and for other
causes.
The Duluth Boom company is a for
eign corporation and does not appear
to have any offices or headquarters in
Minnesota, and is further said to have
been absorbed by the Jay Cooke water
power enterprises.
The reason for bringing this action
is to preserve for the state school fund
certain valuable tracts of land at the
mouth of the st. Louis river, namely,
lots No. 1, and g. Of section 36, town
ship 40, range 15, which the assignees

she would not testify on Luctgerts side.
The Witness also stated that Emma

story she had told TO save her reputation.
States Attorney Deenan went Mt this
witness with one OF the most remarkable
cross examinations ever heard In the
criminal court. His questions were fired
at her with the rapidity OF repeating
rifle working TO the limit of It's speed. The
witness was quick. wittcd and replied
promptly for a while. but she was not
as resourcefui as the lawyer and after
half an hour she became confused and
her face blazed with excitement. Then
she began to contradict herself as 10

larger than usual and the struggle 70 Sc
