oPPENHEIM CITES DECISIONS.
To, Prove the Bicycle Ordinance Is
Not Valid.

The case of James Neill, the actor,
who was arrested Saturday night,
charged with violating the bicycle or
dinance, was again before Judge Orr
in the municipal court yesterday, when
Attorney Oppenheim, for the defend
ant, continued his argument against
the validity of the ordinance under
which Mr.. Neill was arrested. Nu-
merous authorities upholding the view
taken Of the ordinance by the defense
were produced. as were also the Mime
sofa decisions which Mr.. Oppenheim
urged in support of his case.
The defense called several bicycle
dealers to the stand to testify with re-
gard to the proper place for lantern
on a wheel. The object Of the testi
mony, it is claimed, was to show that
the ordinance benefited the makers
of certain kinds of lanterns, as it pro-
vided for the lights to be fixed to the
axel of the bicycle. Each of the wit
nesses declared that the proper place
for lantern was on the r'headpost"
of the wheel, both for the better pro-
lection of riders and pedestrians.
Attorney Hall, for the city, stated
that he was not prepared to contest
the points raised by the defense, and
asked for further continuance which
was granted until Friday.

CANNOT CATCH coLrE,R.
Police Unable to Land a Man Whom
They Want.

James H. Golfer, living at 638 Mar
shall avenue, against whom the police
claim to have gathered strong evidence
In connection with numerous thefts Of
buggy harnesses in the vicinity of his
home, has.snot been brought to trial,
though he was arrested and arraigned
In the municipal court on the charge
Of larceny. Golfer was released upon
his own recognizance, and when the
date set for his trial arrived, failed to
appear. A bench warrant was issued
for him, but Notwithstanding this sum-
mons, he still enjoys his liberty, and
consequently the police authorities are
1ndulging in some criticism of the
municipal court procedure which per-
mits such state of affairs.
Officer G. w. Smith, Of the Rondo
street station, made an attempt to ar
rest Golfer yesterday on a recent war
rant charging him with stealing a
chicken from A. Lachenmay yer, a butch
er at 499 Thomas street. Golfer resisted
and called to his wife. According to
Officer Smith, Mrs. Golfer threw a
basket Of garbage over him, scratched
and bit his hands and interferred with
him to the best of her ability. On these
grounds she was arrested on the charge
of resisting an officer, while Golfer got
away To Judge Orr Mrs. Golfer de-
MED the charges Of Officer Smith. The
judge required her to sign a bond to
keep the peace. Since the issuance Of
the last warrant against Golfer, Detec-
tives Sweeney and DAILY, Of the Rondo
street station, have twice gone through
his house In search Of him, but with no
success.

DARRAGH WINS 1T.
Court Gives Him a Verdict for 5000
Back Pay.


r. J. Darragh has won his suit
against the city for the balance Of his
salary as corporation attorney with
held by the city from January, 1896,
to March 10, 1897, when his term Of
office expired. The amount involved is
about $500.
Judge Bum, before whom the case
was tried last week, filed his findings
and an order for judgment for the
plaintiff yesterday. On the trial, the
city's defense was that Mr.. Darragh
had assented to the 10 per cent reduc-
ton of his salary and had accepted
81, 500 a year in full settlement.
Judge Bum finds as facts that under
chapter 8 Of the Special Laws of 1891.
the salary of the corporation attorney
was fixed at $4,000 per annum; that
said act is still in full force and effect,
and that under resolution of the
common council, passed Jan. IL, 1896,
providing for the amount of money
necessary to be raised by the 1895 tax
levy, the salary of the corporation at
torney was fixed at $4,000 a year. The
court further finds that Mr.. Darragi
never agreed that the payments of 1915
a month from January, 1896, till March,
1897 should be received by him in full
payment Of his salary as corporation
attorney, but that Mr.. Darragh at all
times claimed that said payments were
not so received by him and that he
would at the expiration of his term OF
office claim from the city the balance
Of the salary.
AS conclusions of law the court finds
that the attempted reduction Of the
plaintiffs salary by resolution Of the
common council was void and Of no
effect, and that the plaintiff is entitled
to judgment against the city in the
withheld monthly installment Of $4160
from the date that each became due.

Under an Engine
William Tidd, q stone mason engaged
in repairing the retaining wall of the
Milwaukee railroad company above the
Chestnut street depot, was run over by
Milwaukee switch engine shortly
after 9 o'clock yesterday morning, and
so seriously injured that it is feared
he will die. Tidd was taken to the city
hospital where it was found necessary
to amputate both Of his legs, the left
above, and the right below the knee.
Besides the more serious mangling of
his limbs, Tidd sustained a fracture of
his hip and three severe scalp wounds,
one cash in his forehead four inches
long. According to his own story Of
the accident he did not see the engine
bearing down upon him until
moment before he was struck. He
tried to jump aside but fell, the wheels
catching his left leg. In an effort to
jerk the pinioned member from under
the wheels Tidd placed his right foot
against the rail as a brace and this
leg also went under the wheels.
T1dd Is a married man, twenty-six
years of age, and lives with his father
at ZIG Madison street N. E., Mime
apolis. His father was notified of the
accident and came to st. Paul.

DULUTH Is HARD UP.
Needs n Poorhouse, but Has Not the
Money.

1t appears from letters and protests
IN the shape of newspaper clippings,
etc, that the people of Duluth are
very much in need of a new county
poorhouse, and, what is more, are de-
termined to leave no stone unturned
TO get it, although it Is stated that
there is at this time no money avail
able for such purpose.
In the office of the secretary of the
state board of corrections and chari-
ties may be found an exhaustive re-
sume Of the state of affairs in ST..
Louis county. The statement is made
that, in a great many particulars, the
people of st. Louis county are made
to stand greater burden than those Of
either Ramsey or Hennepin in the care
of their poor. Figures are given which
make it appear that in a short time
the st. Louis people will have to call
a halt or adopt some better method
of caring for their dependents.

the situation, save that there are filed

Law OF NEW COUNTIES.
Gen. ChiIds Submits an Opinion on
Several Points.

Attorney General Childs yesterday
prepared and submitted a legal opin-
ion on several points regarding the or
ganization Of unorganized counties III
this state, brought to his attention by
County Attorney Charles e. Houghton,
of Red Lake Falls. The opinion in full
is here given and is self explanatory:
When a new county has been organized
under Gen. Stat 1894, sec. GIL, ct. seq, the
subject of caring for the poor must be treat
gardless of the action previously taken in the
parent county prior to the creation of the
new county The burden Of caring tor the
poor of the new county must be borne by 1t,
as as |contradistinguished from towns and viii
lagos, until such time as the voters OF the
county shall have adopted the township policy
under section 1884.
Any tax levied subsequent to the date Of
the fling of the petition for organization with
the county auditor was authorized (633) ex-
cept as otherwise expressly provided.
While this is so, / fear that the court would
hold if the question were presented to it,
that taxpayers who have paid without protest
the taxes assessed against them for the un-
authorized tax. have made voluntary pay
ments thereof and cannot recover the same.

But Whatever the rights OF the 1ndlvldual
taxpayer fail to see how the question con-
Germs the county of Red Lake as corporate
entity. The controversy arises between the
taxpayer and the county OF Polk and not
between the two counties.
= In apportioning the indebtedness outstand-
ing at the time of the organization of the
new county the statute must be strictly fol-
lowed. The legislature was the sole Judge
as to what rule should govern and the one
adopted by it is exclusive. J1sat y9cfos.4..
The evident intent OF the law2is that no
distinction shall characterize territory as to
the payment OF outstanding obligations except
in the cases named. The Indebtedness must
be apportfoned between the counties according
to the last preceding assessment in proper
ton to the valuations. Before the apporton-
ment is made the valuation Of county build
ings Is to be deducted, and the residue is
thereupon apportioned. No other deduction
is mentioned, contemplated or authorized.
1t therefore follows that the classes Of prop
erty named should not be considered in ap-
portioning the Indebtedness between the said
counties

TowsLEY,s CASE CONTINUED.
Rev. Mr.. Hultkranz Preparing to
Push 1t.

Edgar Towsley, the young man ar
rested ON suspicion Of having operated
a swindling game in connection with
the Bethesda hospital, was taken to
the municipal court yesterday, but was
not formally arraigned, as 1t is the
wish Of the authorities to further in
vestigate the case before preferring a
charge against him. Rev. M. L. Hult-
kranz, manager of the hospital, Is con-
firmed in the belief that Towsley is
crooked and that he has probably real
lied 5000 by his operations in st. Paul.
He is endeavoring to ascertain the
sums secured by Towsley from the
people he solicited, and has asked the
county attorney to push the matter
to the fullest extent of the law. Tows-
ley will be formally arraigned today.
