At the time she came she said her
husband had left the city for Dakota
and that she expected to soon join
him. What money she had was soon
gone, and since then she had been
working about the house for her board
and lodging. The young woman, Mrs.
Winston said, had told so many diff
ferent stories that she was at loss
to know just which one to believe.
Last Saturday she took her baby and
said she was going to White Bear,
where she claimed she had arranged
with a family to take care Of the child.
1t was about 10 o'clock in the morning
when she left and Mrs. Winston said
she had not seen her since that time.
The police had told her after she had
identified the shawl as being the one
she loaned, that the woman had been
seen on Seventh street Wednesday and
Thursday.
The prisoner will be arraigned in the
police court this morning and as she
has made a confession will probably
waive an examination and be held to
await the action of the grand jury.

STRUCK BY A RUNAWAY.
Thomas w. joyce, Street Sweeper,
Seriously Hurt.

The team of Fred Schusler, market
gardener living on the German road,
Dakota county, ran away yesterday
morning and before they were stopped
did considerable damage. The horses
started from Seventh and st. Peter
streets and dashed down st. Peter
street at a lively gait. In front of the
Windsor hotel Thomas w. Joyce, who
has the contract for sweeping the
asphalt paved streets, was engaged at
his work A score of pedestrians saw
the galloping team and the danger
Joyce was in, and shouted at him. He
evidently failed to hear the warning
for he continued at work and in an
other instant was struck full by the
runaway team. At the time he was
standing on the west side of the
street and the collision hurled him al
most across the street. He was picked
up unconscious and taken to his home
at S7S Conway street. He was attend
ed by Assistant City Physician Brim-
hall, who reports that while severely
bruised, Joyce was not seriously in
jured The team continued it's race
along ST. Peter to Third street and
down Third to Robert street, and then
turned south across the Robert street
bridge Midway over the bridge the
rig collided with a wagon belonging to
the Minnesota Packing company, which
was coming in the opposite direction,
and both wagons were wrecked.

The Report of the Committee Which
ExOnerates RundIett

The Report of the Committee Which
EXOnerates RundIett.
The assembly held a special meeting
yesterday for the purpose of acting
upon the board of aldermen resolu-
tons, one appropriating 1000 from the
contingent fund, to be expended I'M
der the direction of the mayor and the
citizens committee for the entertain
ment of visitors to the city during state
fair week, and the other accepting the
offer of the SuretieS on the bond of the
Bank of Minnesota to pay the city the
1000 it had on general deposit in the
bank at the date of it's failure Both
resolutions were adopted by a unani-
nous vote.
The assembly was about to adjourn
when Mr.. Johnson, of the Rundlett in
vestigating committee, asked permits
sion to read the report of the commit
tee, the substance of which the G o b G
has already published. The report ex-
onerates Mr.. Rundlett from any intent
to defraud the city by retaining a por-
ton of the money received from the
sale of the scrap iron, and criticises
Comptroller McCardy for ignoring the
resolution of the council directing that
the money be placed in the street, sew
er and bridge maintenance fund.
Assemblyman Reardon, who had just
glanced over the report, noted that por-
ton of it containing the structure on
Comptroller McCardy, and at once OBJ
jected to the reading of the report,
