LET OUT VICTOR HOLM.
BOARD OF CONTRoI DECIDED TO
DROP THE ATTENDANT
1t Is the Judgment of the Board
That He Was@at Fault In
the Ryan Case.


Victor Holm, who, has been orderly
at the city hospitaF for the past two
years, has been discharged by Presi-
dent Kerwin, of the board of control.
The discharge was agreed to by the
other members of Che board, and this
action was taken by President Kerwin.
owing to the absence from the. city Of
DR.. 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, a
patient at the institution. was ordered
and allowed to dress outside the hos
pital. 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
to dress outside the building, which
he 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 il
the statement of Ryan as to being or
dered out were correct, Holm had made
a mistake in not bringing him back
by force and making him dress inside
the building.

the death OF Roll, the lodge paid to
May Roll the 81, 900 for the son, Frank
Roll, she being the child's guardian.
Mary Roll decided that the contract
entered into between herself and Mar
tin Roll was not binding as to col
lecting his insurance money and made
application for the $4,000. The lodge
paid the money into court, and the de-
cision filed yesterday practically set
ties the suit.
Judge Kelly, in a memorandum ac-
companying the decision, says:
IF this was a contest between the
next of kin of Martin w Roll, or his
legatee under a will and the plaintiff,
Mary Roll, I would entertain grave
doubts of the latter'S right to claim any

clearly satisfied, Roll in designating
the beneficiary, designated none other
than May Roll, the interpleader and
her son. This designation, In view of
the relations between the parties, was
lawful, within the purposes of the
lodge"
Continuing, Judge Kelly says:
''It Is urged that May Roll was never
within the rules Of the lodge, being

that he had.
He added that as he understood the
purpose Of the fund, at least as far as
the part contributed by Mr. James J.
HILL Of this city, was concerned, it was
to be used only for the sick and
wounded soldiers: that it's use to sup
plement army rations by delicacies o.
varieties OF food suitable to well men,
he thought would be unwarranted, but
he, too, had seen statements, how we'll

found that some of the money had been
spent for the legitimate purposes of
the fund. One thing he knew, however
that Gov. Clough had lately become
sufficiently interested in knowing all
about the matter to investigate it for
himself, being determined to find out
whether the reports of its misuse OIL
non-use were true. 1--WE will therefore
have something reliable soon," conclud-
ed Mr.. Cochran.
Minneapolis has five companies in
the Thirteenth regiment in addition to
the colonel, and many of the staff Off
GERS, so that it is more than fitting that
there should be in that city meetings
of he auxiliary association in turn with
st. Paul. 1t has been arranged that to-
morrow, Monday evening" a special
meeting should be held there in the
rooms of the Commercial club, Henne-
pin avenue and Fourth street, which
have been kindly rendered for the pur-
pose. The hour of the nesting VIII
be o'clock, and the st. Paul friends
intending to go, should gather at the
ccrrer Of Fifth and Wabasha not later
than 7:15, to take the interurban car.
1t is possible that a special car will
be engaged and notice thereof, If 1t is,
will be given in tomorrow's papers.
1t is intended to make the meeting
largely a letter reading meeting, and
friends are requested to bring their
latest letters. The interchange Of
views between the Minneapolis and ST.
Paul soldiers will be especially inter-
esting.
AS this is the first meeting which has
taken place in Minneapolis, the lead
ing members of the auxiliary associa-
ton are very anxious to see a large
attendance from st. Paul.

crooks in saloon at Warbasha street
and College avenue. The gang took to
flight, pursued by the officers. Hart
was one of the number, but this was
not known at the time. Half dozen
pistol shots were fired at. the fugitives,
but only one OF them, Jack Dockery,
was captured, and it proved just as
we'll that the detectives did not corner
Hart, as he had given it out that he
would not "standsJa pinch" That he
meant what he said was clearly shown
by his efforts to kill the Mimi eapolis
detectives who arrested him Friday.
The Minneapolis officers found out
where a plant" of stolen property had
been made and suspecting Hart Of be-
ing concerned in a number of recent
robberies and safe burglaries in the
Mill City, decided to watch for the
thief when he came for the "swag."
Hart showed up, but saw the officers
when within about fifty feet of them.
He started to run and the officers took
after him. When closely pressed Hart
threw away his overcoat and drew q
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
when Hart fired a second shot His
poor craftsmanship saved the detec-
tives this time, also, but the ex-con-
vict seemed determined to add murder
to his other crimes and fired again. In
turning around he stumbled and fell
But he did not give up. AS the officers
rushed toward him Hart propped him
self on his arm and deliberately shot
at Detective Stavalo. The officer dodg-
ed at the right instant and the bullet
whistled close to his head. Detective
Morrhssey 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-
nection with the theft of the draft
from the prison. is believed by the st.
Paul police to be responsible for a
number of recent burglaries here.

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 impleaded
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, 1885, at ST. Paul. They
lived together as man and wife until
December of the same year, when they
separated June 80, 1897, the twain
entered into formal contract whereby
they agreed to live separate and apart
and wholly. free from each others
interference"
In this contract Roll promised to pay
his wife $15 per month, and she. in con-
sideration, released and discharged
him from any and all claims which she
might have for alimony."
March 26, 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
1888, the parties lived as man and
wife. One child. Frank P. Roll, was
born to them, Aug. s, 1893, and Is still
living.
In August, 1897, the lodge issued to
Martin w. Roll certificate for So, 900

Another arrest made in the same con-
nection was that of Nellie Boyd,
woman with whom Bliss has been liv-

and an old time thief
The police are about to bring several
charges against Bliss. He is believed
to have robbed the houses on Six

music box found in his possession hav-
ing been taken from one Of the dwell

Ewing was bookkeeper at the Still
water prison, and tried to cash this
check while out on parole. Bliss had
been released at the time and was with
Ewing. Bliss made his escape while
Ewing was arrested.

acts, entitled, "a Fool for Luck" by
w. M. Browne. The play will be for
the benefit Of the football team and

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 meretrf-
ciousa as to make it contrary to good
morals to afford her such relief.

bears to man the despicable relation

would be entitled to no consideration
