Chief of Detectives VIII Not Reply
tO Goss' Attack.

Friends of Chief of Detectives
Schweitzer were astounded yesterday
when they read of the attack of Chief
of Police Goss upon the detective de-
partnent in general and Chief Schweit-
zer in particular They termed it a
mean subterfuge On the part Of Chief
Goss to square himself with the
mayor. 1t was the general opinion that
the report that Chief Goss had been
called down by Mayor Doran and
sought to excuse himself by placing
the responsibility for the yellow"
work of the police department. Chief
Schweitzer was seen by reporter for
the G 10 b e last evening and inter-
rogated concerning the attitude of
Chief Goss, but refused to discuss the
matter.
''Do you consider it just that Chief
Goss, with his meager police expert
ence, should criticise an officer OF your
length of service?" was asked Chief
SchweitZer.
'I cannot enter into a discussion of
the matter. I have worked hard and
conscientiously since assuming this Of
flee and have always endeavored to do
my duty"
But does it not reflect upon you
for Chief Goss to attempt to relieve
himself for the misdirection of the po-
lice ferce?'
81 don't care to talk about the mat
ter
"Well. but isn't it unreasonable for
him to claim that all of the uniformed
portion of the force is perfection, while
only half a dozen detectives and your
self are responsible for the actions OF
the crooks?"
'Yes, that's true"
But Chief Goss intimates that only
the detective department is at fault,
doesn't he?"
Chief Schweitzer smiled.
Are your men trustworthy or CROOK
ed?"
'They are straight, but, if there We're
two more detectives, this branch of the
department could work to better ad-
vantage The force is so distributed
that much important work must be
accomplished with but few men
You are satisfied, no matter what
Chief Goss may say?"
"Under the circumstances, yes"
But, if the chief of police himself
knew a little more about the depart
ment he is trying to conduct, don't you
think the city would get better protec-
tion?"
Again Chief Schweitzer smiled.

unknown miscreaat, to take the life Of
Editor Moffet, of the. Settler. Moffet
is captain of the governors guards,
and last night as he was returning
home from drill, and was about to en-
ter his home. five. SHOTS were fired at
him in rapid suggestion. One of the
bullets struck ano 4outbuilding about
two feet above his head.
The man who did the shooting was
about sixty feet away. and, as it was
moonlight, Moffet had fair view of
his assailant, but did not recognize
him. One of his neighbors heard the
shooting and gave chase, but the fel-

SIGN BOARD IN DISPUTE.
l.. N. Scott Explains the Trouble
With the Sherer ComDany.


There is trouble between the Scott
Cunning Advertising company and the
Sherer Sign Company, of Minneapolis
Both are extensive advertising agents
and have erected rival sign boards the
length of University avenue between
the two cities. Some time ago the
Scott-Gunning company put UP a twen-
ty-five-foot board at University and
Lexington avenues. Shortly afterward
the Sherer company erected a fifty-foot
sign in front Of it. The Scott Cunning
night and the next night their boards
were razed. The next day up went
the Scott sign again and once more on
the following night it was taken down
by the Sherer people. Both signs are
at present flat on the vacant lot where
the battle is being waged.
The trouble arises over a disagree
ment between the two companies re-
garding the right to the site where the
signs were put up, both claiming the
title to the ground. l.. N. Scott, speak
ing of the matter last evening said:
That property belongs to me and
intend to enforce my rights. Some time
ago MI. Sherer entered into an agree
ment with me whereby 1 was given the
right to the property which he had first
secured. 1t was a verbal agreement
and 1 told him when l received the con-
tract regarding the matter would pay
him the money involved. He promised
to send me the contract, but failed to
do so. He allowed me to take pos
session of the property, however, and
I have proffered him the remuneration.
The Scott-Gunning sign was put up
with his knowledge and his sign after
ward erected in front of it was taken
down by my direction. There is no
malice nor personal antagonism in my
course whatever. 1t does not concern
me how many signs the Sherer COM
pany puts up, either here or in Mime
apolis, but I consider Mr.. Sherer made
a valid contract with me and intend
to enforce it within the law. To this
end I today applied for a temporary
Injunction whereby the matter will be
settled"

ey. One of the thugs throttled Frees
so that he could not call for help,
while his companion did the searching.
The young man had no money with
him, at which the footpads cursed him
roundly, and, not to be wholly disap-
pointed. tore his lamplighter from his
hand and disappeared down an alley.
The hold-up was particularly bold, as
pedestrians going home from work
passed In numbers near the scene of
the attempted robbery, but were not
attracted by the unusual proceedings.
The affair was reported to the police
together with description of the per-
petrators, one Of whom was a short
thick-set man, while the other was tall
and of a slender build. Both wore ul-
ster overCoatS and slouch hats.

FROM CELLAR TO GARRETT.
Burglars Ransacked the Hinken'
Home Thoroughly.

Home Thoroughly.
The family of J. w. Hinkens, living
at 169 Genesee street, was absent Mon
day night, but the house was tenanted,
nevertheless, and when the tranSlentS
left they carried away nearly $500
worth of property, consisting of silver
table ware clothing, furs and jewelry.
The burglars did not leave their cards,
but the condition of the house when
the robbery was discovered yesterday
left no doubt as to the character of
the unwelcome visitors. From top to
bottom it resembled the track OF a
Kansas cyclone. Every room had been
thoroughly ransacked and the contents
thrown about in reckless confusion.
Not the smallest possible receptacle of
valuables, from collar boxes to bu-
reaus and china closet, escaped rum
maging, everywhere evidencing the
fact that the housebreakers had doubt
less spent most of the night in SyS-
tematic search of the place.
The opportunity for a successful rob-
berry was doubtless known to the
thieves, as Mr. Hinkens, who is the
bookkeeper at the Capital bank, is out
of town on a hunting trip, and his
wife, with her two children, fearing
to spend the night in the house alone,
has been sleeping at the home of her
IdlneT-l1-ldW, deOTSS w. I1llhcIlS, dl
780 Cedar street. Mrs. HinkenS left
her home shortly after o'clock Mon
day evening, and it is thought the
burglars watched her departure, and
forced an entrance shortly afterWard
The thieves first cut the screen from
a cellar window on one side of the
house. but, finding the easement
locked, performed the same operation
at another window through which
they gained an entrance The door
leading to- the upper part of the house
was locked, but, with the ever-handy
Jimmy" the frame was shattered
and the bolt forced out of place, when
the robbers proceeded to literally tear
things up side down. In the dining
room closet they secured a dozen sill
yer teaspoons, a gold-lined sugar
spoon and two silver butter knives,
prying open drawers and doors with
out the slightest fear of interruption.
In an adjoining bedroom Mrs Hin
ken's gold bracelets were added to the
plunder, and from the parlor a num-
Der of articles of bric-a- brac were Sc
cured. Up stairs the thieves contin-
ued their careful search. Here a fur
cape belonging to Mrs Hinkens and
also similar garment of her little
girls was taken, and Mr.. Hinken' s
best trousers, a cloth cloak, several
chlldren's dresses and two patterns of
dress goods. To insure a speedy de-
parture If discovered, the burglars un-
locked both the front and rear doors
before beginning their operations, and.
when the milk. man called yesterday
morning, the disordered appearance
OF the kitchen led to the discovery of
the robbery.
