LET OUT VICTOR HOLM.
BOARD OF CONTROL DECIDED TO
DROP THE ATTENDANT
IL rs the Judgment OF the Board
That He Was at Fault In
the Ryan Case.

Victor Holm, who has been orderly
at the city hospital for the past two
years, has been discharged by Presi-
oent kerwin, Of the board Of control
The discharge was agreed to by the
other members of the board, and this
action was taken by President KerWin,
owing to the absence from the city of
d. Ancker, superintendent of the hos
pital
The discharge of Holm grew out Of
the complaints made by parties living
near the hospital that James Ryan. q
patient at the institution, was ordered
ana allowed to dress outside the hos
pltal. When the complaint was first
MADE, Holm denied that he had been
In any way to blame for the action of
Ryan, and. as the patient had left the
hospital ard could not be located, the
board exonerated Holm.
Friday afternoon Ryan's where
abouts was learned and ne was taken
before the board and told his story.
Ryan Informed the board that he was
given his clothing and ordered by Holm
10 dress outside the building, which
ne proceeded to do. Holm denied this
and said he had told Ryan he could
remain a day longer and have his suit
fumigated. Ryan insisted that he was
not told this until after he had dressed
and was ready to leave the grounds
The board considered that, Holm had
neglected his duty in allowing Ryan to
dress outside the building, and even If
the statement of Ryan as to being or
dered out were correct, Holm had made
mistake in not bringing him back
by force and making him dress inside
the building

He started to run and the officers took
after him. When closely pressed Hart
threw away his overcoat and drew a
revolver. Turning in his flight he fired
point blank at Detective Morrissey, but
missed his mark. The detective let go
a shot at the fugitive Without result,

rushed toward him Hart propped him

whistled close to his head. Detective
Morrissey was now close to Hart and
with 1eveled pistol was about to blow
his brains out, when Hart suddenly
tossed away his revolver and threw up
his hands.
Hart, besides being wanted in con-

from the prison, is believed by the st.
Paul police to be responsible for
number of recent burglaries here.

Judge Kelly Decides That the Wife
Gets the Insurance.
Judge Kelly yesterday filed a decis-
ion in the case Of Mary Roll against
the grand lodge, A. o. U. W., of Min
neapolis, and May Roll implicated.
The finding of the court gives May Roll
judgment against the plaintiff for
costs and also directs that she Is en-
titled to the $1,000 now in the hands
of the court.
The case is novel one, and the
facts as brought out were something
out of the ordinary. Mary Roll, the
plaintiff, and Martin W. Roll were
married May 8, 1886. at st. Paul They
lived together as man and wife until
December of the same year, when thew
entered into a formal contract whereby
they agreed to live separate and apart
and wholly free from each others
interference"
In this contract Roll promised to nav
his wife SIS per month, and she, In con-
sideration, released and discharged
him from any and all claims which She
might have for alimony''
March rs, 1890, at Milbank, S. d..
Martin w. Roll caused a marriage GER
emony to be performed between him
self and the interpleader In the suit,
May Roll. At the time Roll represent
ed himself as a widower. Thereafter
and until the death Of Roll, in January.
1893, the parties lived as man and
wife. One child, Frank P. Roll. was
born to them, Aug. 8, 1893, and is still
living.
In August, 1897, the lodge issued to
Martin w. Roll a certificate for So. 600

sure she was dependent upon him
within the meaning Of the law of the
order, and, therefore, she is entitled to
the $1,000, unless her conduct in living
with Martin w. Roll was so meretri.

morals to afford her such relief.

bears to a man the despica bic relation
of mistress under such circumstances

was Wronged. She was sinned against

wife, and was faithful to that relation.
