struch loose knot and slipping from his
grasp, flew in straight line a distance OF
twenty-five feet to where his father was at
work. The pole of the axe struck Mr.. Lingan
upon the breast and caught upon his arm, re
versng the blade and throwing it in his face,
splitting his nose and both lips and knocking
one of his teeth loose, causing the loss OF con
siderable blood. Mr.. Liugan was brought to
Bel Air to Forwood's drug store aud DR.. w.

! ATTEMPTED MURDER

At an early hour Monday
morning, John Weinberg, whe
with his housekeeper. Miss EN-
ma Thompson, resided on Wy
oming avenue near Maple,
made a desperate assault on the
woman with an axe, and attempt
ed to complete his murderous
work with a pocket knife. With
the blood streaming from gaping
wounds in her head and throat
attired in a night robe. the .wo
man fought desperately and sue.
ceeded in escaping from the
house followed by her pursue,
who, when assistance arrived,
was attempting to pull her back
into the house, that his demoni.
acal work might be finished.
The account of the dastardly
attempt as told by the woman is
that both occupied the same
room, and that at shortly after
midnight Weinberg awakened
her and that they lay and talked
the greater part of the night;
that Weinberg on several occa
sions got up and left the room,
the last time being at about 6 a.
M, when he returned with an
axe with which, without pro
vocation or warning, he dealt
her a murderous blow on the
head, which was luckily a glanc.
ing one and did not crush the
skull; the frenzied man then
grappled with her and gave her
and ugly cash in the throat with
a knife, after which she fought
free and rushed from the house,
where she was protected by
Swan Monson, driver for A.
Fitger & Co., who was gong by.
Weinberg then returned to the
house and inflicted upon himself
numerous Slight wounds with
the axe and knife.
Weinberg was at once placed
under arrest and was given a
hearing and taken to the county
Jail the same day. He claims to
remember naught of the crime,
except an hallucination that be
was fighting a man, but on all
other points appears rational.
It was feared an attempt would
be made to lynch him, and it
was on this account that he was
taken to Duluth so quickly
The women is in a critical con.
dition. but is receiving the best
of care and hopes are entertain.
ed for her recovery.
Weinberg was bound over on
Tuesday and his trial will be
held on September 9th.

Students of the wheat market are in
fluenced by some rather startling sta
tistics from the northwestern grain
markets. Two years ago that district
had on hand 24,G00000 of contract
wheat. A year ago there was 13,0O0,-
600. Today there Is less than 5000, 900,
of which but 100000 is contract
wheat. 1t is stated that there is not
enough wheat in sight to supply the
mills and meet the demand for seed.
The situation is further complicated
by the fact that the most of this wheat
is owned by Letter with Armour bid
ding for what little comes into the
market. The prospects are for fancy
prices before the new crop is har.
vested.
