was plenty of money, such as it was,

The customary form of notes upon which
loans were made differed much from
those in use now, and Mr.. Monfort had

a general panic, except for the fact that
in its worst features it did not affect st.

many of the banks to the wall, but left
untouched the institution of which Mr..
Monfort was the cashier.

County Auditor johnson and Chief
Clerk Harry Griswold, of the o-,71tor's
office, called on Gen. Pope, the bank ex-
aminer yesterday and held a long con-
sultation with him. Upon the advice
of the examiner further payment of
money from the premium fund has been
stopped whether the land covered has
been redeemed or not Another change
in the routine of the office is in regard
to the warrant books Heretofore war
rants have been drawn from nine books
Hereafter there will be but one warrant
book for the auditor and one county
commissioners warrant book. In addi-
ton a complete record will be made of
tax sales upon which premiums have
been bid
Under the new regulations there is a
peculiar state of affairs. The chief
clerk, who does the work of the chief
deputy, is authorized to sign no warrants,
and one of the under clerks John CAT
fey, is commissioned as deputy auditor.
He can sign only witness warrants, and
nothing without the q. K. of the chief
clerk. Mr.. Johnson himself reserves
the whole right of signing other war
rants, and as he is in 9his, office only
portion of the time there is. considerable
delay in cases where persons call for
warrants.

Case in Point Is the Promotion of
Lieuts. FaIk and Hart in the
Thirteenth Regiment - Home Au-
thOrities Were Once Sustained.
Adjt. Gen. Lambert yesterday received
from the United States attorney general
at Washington a copy of the opinion
passed at the time the controversy took
place relative to the appointment of the
three majors for the Thirteenth regi-
ment. 1t will be recalled that after the
appointments had been made by Gov.
Lind objection was made by the war de-
partment, but upon the appeal to the
attorney general the action of the Min
nesota authorities was sustained and the
appointment of the officers was con-
firmed.
A case in point, and one which will
doubtless call for further adjudication
by the same powers at Washington Is
that of the promotion of Lieuts. Falk
and Hart whom, it will be remembered,
were raised from the positions they held
to that of captains, Quartermaster Ar
thur r. Demuth being also appointed
captain at the same time.
The last named officers were raised
in compliance with the act Of congress
relative to the military code which was
passed March 2 last, the case, it was pre-
sumed by the state authorities, being
precisely the same as applied in the for
mer instance.
From recent advices, however the war
department has refused to sanction the
appointments and another appeal will lie
taken to the attorney general, the argu-
ment being that if the act of congress
and the military code stands good in one
instance it will also apply to the case in
point as there is no reasons why the &C
lions on the same line should not be res
garded as consistent and In perfect &C
cord and harmony.

nature of a Shock as a preceding tele-
gram had announced that Mr.. Monfort
was considerably better. No details were
contained in the dispatch
Delos A. Monfort, at the time of his
death, was sixty-four years old. He
was born in New York state and came
to St. Paul originally in 1854. He re-
turned to Minnesota in 1856 and had re-
sided here ever since. He entered the
employ of Mackubin & EdgertOn, bank
ers, and remained with them until
Mr. Edgerton organized the Peoples
ban * ofwhich he became cashier. Upon
the organization Of the Second National
bank he became cashier and was pro-
NOTED successfully to vice president and
president, a position he held for sew
eral years and up to the time of his
death He was married in 1859 to Miss
Mary j. Edgerton, who survives him,
and occupied an elegant residence at 2S2
Dayton avenue He leaves two children
"a son, Fred D. Monfort, cashier Of the
Second National bank, and a daughter

had complained Of, i'll health and had
paid but partial attention to the affairs
of the bank About three months ago
he went to Washington, accompanied by
Mrs Monfort to visit his daughter, and
a few weeks ago he went to Atlantic
City in search of health. It was known
1. 1T he was seriously i'll, but &C
ton of physicians resulted in an opinion
that he had still considerable time to
live.
Mrs. Monfort and the body will be met
at Chicago next Tuesday by Col. c. J.
MonfOrt, proprietor of the Windsor ho-
tel, his only surviving brother, and Fred
d. Monfort. The funeral Will probably
be held under Masonic auspices, as Mr..
MCnfort was always prominent in the

son and for a considerable time was

In 1857 Mr.. Monfort became cashier for
the banking firm of Mackubin q Edger-

of the banking house now known as the
Second National bank. At that day con-
ditiOns in St. Paul were about as they
were in the Argentine republic a few
years ago, when the bankers of Europe
hired ships TO get their money there in

WAY TEAM AND FRAMPLED
UPON L@
Although He Escaped without Any
Broken Bones, 1t Is Feared He
May Be Internally Injured-Own-
err of the Team Arrested.


Pasquale Petrucci, a fruit peddler liv-
ing at 113 South Franklin street, was
badly hurt in runaway accident at
ThAd and Wabasha streets yesterday
morning. Petrucci was knocked down
and trampled by the horses, besides be-
ing run over by the wagon. He escaped
without broken bones, tbut It is feared
he may be internally injured. Henry
Schen, a butcher living at Lakeville,
owned the team. After the accident he
was arrested on the charge of violating
the hitching ordinance, as it is alleged
his team was not tied.
Petrucci conducts stand at Third and
Wabasha streets. When the runaway
horses dashed up the thoroughfare from
Cedar street it looked as though they
would run onto the sidewalk. Petrucci
lodged out into the street, but the runa,
ways swerved and the tongue of the
wagon struck him in the back. He was
trampled under the horses feet and when
picked up was unconscious
The injured man was attended by DR..
Foster and was then removed to the
city hospital. The horses ran to st.
Peter street, where they were stopped.
Banana JOHN as Petrucci is gener-
ally known, is the father of Frank Pc
trucci, who was drowned in the river
at the foot of Eagle street several weeks
ago. Last evening the injured man was
resting comfortably and it is believed
that he will recover.
The owner of the horses dfsclaims any
blame for the accident, claiming that he
was just alighting from his wagon.

Mrs. Charles Schultz, living at FOG
Torrent street, thinks the burglars of
her neighborhood are the boldest of the
craft. She found two of them in her
house yesterday morning and chased one
| of them nearly two blocks. When she
went back to take an inventory of her
possessions she discovered that a purse
containing 81 and a fall jacket were mis-
sing.
That the burglars were of an unusu-
| ally Industrious character was evidenced
| by the fact that they We're up and do

Schultz is keeping house by herself at
present. IS her husband is away in Da-

ing and was busy about her homework
| when she heard a noise in the cellar.
She started down stairs and then turned
| back to go TO the outside cellar window
AS she reached the yard she saw man
/ scrambling out of the cellar window
The fellow got away before Mrs. Schultz
got good look al him, further than for
her to see that he was a young man
| and was barefooted. On examining the
cellar Mrs. Schultz found that two jars
of choice jelly had been stOlen.
Bemoaning the loss of the jelly, Mrs
Schultz returned to her work But an
other surprise was in store for her. She
heard some one walking stealthily about
up stairs. Wondering if her house was
heset with robbers from cellar to garnet
| she tipped-toed to the second floor and
there saw a sight that made her believe
it was, Standing in a bed room at the
! head of the stairs, oVerhauling the con-
! tents of d trunk, was another robber.
| The fellow had nearly everything out of
the trunk and was examining the ar
| ticles preparatory TO making off with the
| most valuable. Mrs Schultz made rush
for the rObber, but he was too quick for
! her, and darted through window and
! dropped to the ground. Mrs. Schultz
ran down stairs and took after the man.
! The fellow led her chase of nearly a
| block to a clump of woods, near the Great
| Northern railroad tracks, where he dis
| appeared. a policeman saw Mrs. Schultz
| chasing the rObber and took a hand in
| the game, but several shots from the
| officers revolver only served to quicken
the fugitive's speed. The policeman
! made a search of the woods when Mrs.
Schultz had explained TO him what was
the trouble, but no trace of the thief
could be found.
The robbery was reported to the police
and Detective Wells was detailed on the
