player and will probably be remembered by
some of the ld-timers. He caught for the st.

Myra Collins, the young woman WHO
fell from trapeze at the OLYMPIC the
alter some weeks ago, WAS the victim
OF q vicious assault and robbery at
University avenue and st. Adams
street at an early hour yesterday
morning. After beating and choking
the woman into partial insensfbihty,
her assailant robbed her. she says, OF
her watch and chain and pocketoook,
containing a railroad ticket to chi

night Detectives Gruber and Murnane,
who were assigned to the case yester-
day morning, arrested G.. w. Wesse,
alias J. WI Smith, in Minneapolis, and
brought hfnnto this city, where he was
locked UP at,the central station on the

starting to return about midnight. On
reaching st. Adams street shortly al
ter 2 o'clock, Wesse suddenly attacked
the young woman, throwing her from
the buggy and beating her with his
fists. Miss Collins fought desperately
and foiled him. Wesse then demanded
her watch and money, Miss Collins
claims, threatening to kill her If she
made an cutlery. On slight move
ment by the girl, the man, according
to her story, knocked her down and,
grabbing her by the throat, choked her
until she was all but unconscious. Then
Miss Collins claims he took her watch

these valuables, the girl says Wesse
tried to take the rings from her fin
gers, and when he found they would
not come off, again beat and choked

At this stage Of the affair the fire de-
partment coming to a fire in the vicin-

into the buggy, threatening to kill her
if she made sound and drove rapid

and the girl drove alone to the Arcade
hotel on East Seventh street, near
Jackson street, where it was necessary
to carry her to her room. Her clothes
were badly torn, and her face and neck
bruised. Last night her right arm
was wholly disabled.
Wesse refused to make any state

DELINQUENT TAX. SALE
Smaller This Year Than 1t Has Been
for Years.

SmuAAeT lh1S i eur IHan II Has been
for Years.
/, The amount derived by the recent sale
were delinquent was the smallest in
several years There were over &c, 900
descriptions sold, Or rather to be sold,
and the amount of the taxes delinquent
was about $4,000. The report of Coun-
ty Auditor Sullivan is to the effect that
the sale realized less that $115, 200, and
of this sum only $4,000 had been paid
into the county treasurer's office up to
the closing hour last night. The prop
erty which was not sold was bid in
by the state
County Auditor Sullivan stated YES
terday that for some reason the sale
had not been near as large as had
been expected. Last year the sale for
delinquent taxes of 1894 had melted
$220,000, out of a total Of 100000 This
year there had been a great falling off.
County Treasurer Edmund expressed
the opinion that the small sale was due
to the fear that change in the law.
recently passed, would affect the hold
ing Of tax title certificates. The county
attorney had given an opinion that
the change in the law did not affect
the sale of this year, but it appeared to
have the effect of making the buyers
OF tax titles scarce. One of the firms
which last year invested $3S, 900 in this
class of securities made no effort to cut
in this year and the result was that
two-thirds of the property offered for
sale had to be bid in by the state.

The Minneapolis Press club recently
gave an entertainment known as the
yellow StreakS." yellow Streak Is
a metaphorical or slang name for the
basic element in cowardice. Hence, a
yellow Streak is a coward. He may
be afraid of the wind or of the here
after, or of the other fellow, or he may
not even know what he is afraid OF,
but he must be afraid. The entertain
ment was not an unmiXed success, prln-
cipally because the rooms of the CLUB
in question, were not large enough to
shelter. all the yellow Streaks that
could be found even in so small COM
munity as Minneapolis. The club, the
next time it plans any entertainment OF
this kind, should lease the Hamline
track and reserve the best seats in the
grand stand for the st. Paul and Min
neapolis base ball clubs. Hundreds OF
disappointed fans went both ways to
Lexington park yesterday, only to find
that the game had been called Off, al
though at the hour scheduled for the
opening of the game, 3:45, the sky was
as clear as the melting notes of the
nightingale, the sun as bright as a
Neapolitan sunset.
But it rained Monday. 1t also rained
last year. In fact, it rained yester-
day morning. 1t may rain again some
day At o'clock the rival base ball
aggregations were seized with the idea
that the deluge was going to be en-
cored, and that, not having any Noah's
ark, they must find an Ararat or a
Guaranty Loan building. Hence they
buttoned themselves into their cute lit
tie blouses and hied them back home,
while the faithful fans paid their good
money and wasted their good time in
the not only Improbable, but uncom-
Portable amusement of riding in crowd
ed street cars.
Not less than 1000 fans were thus
disappointed, not to speak of those who
only escaped it by starting late and
meeting some of the frolicking ball
players on their way back from the
grounds.
There was a time when st. Paul and
Minneapolis played in the rain rather
than disappoint the people. Those were
the days when Martin Duke and
Johnson pitched while the showers
drenched them from head to foot.
Neither club was a cracker-jack then,
and it was necessary for them both to
give the people base ball Of the best
kind they could.
Even pennant winners may some
times find that it does not pay to play
horse with their patronage, and that
the pretext of wet grounds is too flimsy
to be tolerated when the street out
side the park is absolutely dusty at the
hour set for the opening of league
game.
1t is presumed that the postponed
game will be played next Monday,
which, in addition to being the Nor
wegian national holiday, is an open
date for both teams. The regular game
for today will be played, Comiskey and
Observer Lyons permitting, at 3:45
McGill. and either Figgemeier or Baker
will be the opposing pitchers.

AGREEMENT HANGS FIRE.
Western Roads Not Yet in Accord
on Freight Matters.

CHICAGO, May 1.-THE executive officers
OF the Western roads have not succeeded in
getting their proposed agreement ON freight
matters into working order, and the chances
are that it will be some time before they have
it in full operation. They are rather disposed
to move slowly in the matter, for the rea-
son that there are several measures author
izing pooling that may be passed through con-
gress at some time during the present ses-
sion and they might, if the pool measures be-
come laws, be compelled to frame new agree
ments to meet the changed conditions of af-
fairs.
The Western roads have not yet issued their
summer tourist rate sheets for the reason
that they have not succeeded in obtaining
from some of the Eastern roads the same
arrangements they have had in former years.
1t is likely, however. that they will in the
near future take independent action in the
matter and get out their rate sheets indepen-
dent Of the Eastern roads, and allow the
latter to make their arrangements when they

The officials of the Chicago Great
western are greatly depressed over the
sad aff1iction which has temporarily,
at least. come upon General Car Super
intendent Hayes. one Of the most faith
full and conscientious workers in the
Great Western service. Monday night
Mr.. Hayes complained of feeling poor
ly. His friends on the West side no
ticed that he was acting strangely,
but thought it was nothing more than
preoccupation Of his mind, as Mr..
Hayes is always a very busy man,
working day and night. Mr.. Hayes
took an evening train south on a bus
mess trip and was next heard Of in all
Iowa town, where he was found wan
dering about. He was brought to the
city yesterday afternoon and taken to
his home by his brother. The unfortu-
nate man was assisted to a carriage,
but before he entered he sank to his
knees and uttered an unintelligible
prayer. It is believed his afflictton is
caused by over work, and that it will
be Of temporary duration. Mr.. Hayes
is a popular man along the line and
has the sympathy of many friends.

MR.. CAMPS CASE.
Taken Up By the National Trotting
board of Review.

CHICAGO, May 1.-THE beard of review
of the National Trotting association opened
it's spring session today. The only case of
Importance heard was that of the application
of G. H. Camp, of Binghamton. N. Y, for
reinstatement. Camp was expelled from the
tracks of the association in 1895 for having
entered the mare Oracle the previous year
in class out of her record. Camp explained
that he bought the mare in the spring of
1894 from Isaac Edwards of Buffalo, and was
unaware that the mare had a record better
than 2:3O. and when he learned that she had
a record he ceased to enter her in higher
class. He claimed that entries of the mare
in her own name had never been protested,
and that there was no attempt to make a
ringer of her. In opposition to him a
number of af1idavits were read accusing him
of being the owner. of the bay gelling Hardie,
which had record under the name of Jacoby,
and which was entered at number of New
York tracks last season in the name of Will
lam Knapp. Camp denies any connection with
Knalp's entries. ~
