THIEVES IN A FUR STORE.
Broke Into Two Places to Reach

burglars got safely away, and the robbery

Although experts in breaking in, the
burglars showed themselves novices in
selecting what to steal They took the
missing coats from hangers" in the
front part of the store, where any passer-
by might have seen them had he glanced
into the place, but left untouched four
dressed sealsllins valued at $500 that were
lying on the counter. A small bundle of
plucked otter fur, valued at $3.50, the
burglars also overlooked. A number of
sealskin caps valued alone at more than
all of the booty secured by the burglars,

at $55; one Russian lamb coat, valued at
800; one muskrat lined coat, valued at

The proposition to purchase the EXPOSE
ton building and grounds for park and
other municipal purposes came up before
the special meeting of the park board
yesterday afternoon. The question was
argued for and against with the result
that Commissioner Lanes resolution that
the matter be referred to the committee
on designation of grounds, together with
the committee on finance and the presi-
dent of the board, was passed. This COM
mittee viii report for final action at the
next meeting of the board, which was
TO take place Jan. l, but which will prob
ably be postponed two days.
The board room was crowded with
spectators, who did by far the greater
amount of talking. The proposition as
read was that the park board purchase
the Exposition building for the sum of
S173, 9592S, to be paid for in ten annual
payments, the park board to issue GER
tIficates of indebtedness, payable to the
National Park Bank of New York City.
The sum of $17S, 959.2S includes the IN
terest on the real purchase price, which
is $780, 977.5S for the ten years. After
the reading Of the proposition Commits
Eioner Baxter said that he thought as the
city council was kind enough to shift the
purchase of the property to the park
board that the council should lease the
building for ten years, the rental to be
the interest on the purchase price. He
offered this as an amendment to Commits
sioner Lanes resolution, but withdrew 1t
later when informed that the council
could not rent building for more than
year in advance and that the council
merely referred the petition to the board.

NEARLY KILLED HIMSELF.
Carl Haedge While DeIirIOus Jumps
From a window.


Carl Haedge, living at 1876 Cedar street,
nearly ended his life in a fit of delirium,
shortly after o'clock yesterday morning,
by leaping from the third story of his
home to an areaway thirty-fve feet be-
low He was dangerously injured, sus-
tanning severe cuts and bruises about
the head, while his body was also
bruised, and it is feared he sustained Sc
we're internal injuries. Haedge was I'M
conscious when picked up, but later re-
covered his senses. He was attended by
DR.. Ohage.
According to Mrs. Haedge, her husband
had been>ill since Saturday, part Of the
time raving in delirium. Mrs. Haedge
says she constantly watched him, but,
thinking him unusually quiet yesterday
morning, left his bedside for a moment.
Mr.. Haedge was reading a paper at the
time, being deeply interested in the story
of battle between the Beers and Eng
lish in South Africa. As soon as Mrs.
Haedge left the room Haedge slipped out
of bed, and, opening a window leading
to the kitchen roof, stepped out. He was
clad only in a night robe, and some Of
the neighbors, seeing him leaning over
the edge of the roof, called out in alarm.
Haedge Strengthened up, and, without
second warning, leaped into space. His
body turned partly over as he fell and
he struck upon his left shoulder and hip,
while his head also came in contact with
the ground with force. A daughter on
the second floor saw her fathers form
shoot by window and ran to the area
way, followed by Mrs. -Haedge. Mr..
Haedge was carried into the house, and
the. city physician was summoned
Mrs. Haedge refused to allow her hus-
band to be sent to the hospital and the
city physician declined to have anything
to do with the case. DR.. Ohage was call
ed. He found no broken bones, but dis
covered evidence of internal injury
After recovering consciousness Haedge
told his wife he had imagined he was in
q fight with the South African Beers and
that he Jumped from the roof to escape
pursuers. Haedge is forty-two years of
age and has lived in this city for some
years. The family until recently lived at
West Seventh and Walnut streets where
Mrs. Haedge conducted a confectionery
store. Mr.. Haedge has been out of en-
ployment lately.

OPENS A MURDER CASE
MAN, GETS A NEW
TRIAL
THE CASE BECAME FAMOUS

Evidence at the Former Trial Cir
cumstantiaIIy Pc ted to Peter f.
Nelson Having Been Killed by the
Man Who Now Gets Another
Chance to Prove That He Was
Not the Guilty Party.
ASHLAND, Wis, Dec 2O-The famous
Buell. murder case from Sawyer county
will be tried IN Ashland early next month.
Peter F. Nelson was an unmarried man,
twenty-four years OF age, who had re-
sided for a considerable length of time
prior to September 1898, with one Eugene
Buell., a man about thlrty-six years of
age, near the Indian reservation, in
thinly-settled district in Sawyer county,
nine miles from Hayward.
In August, 1896, Nelson was ordered by
one Wettenhall, to marry the latter's
daughter. Nelson declined, and fled to
escape prosecution. On Sept. 16, Nelson
met Buell. by appointment at railway
station near Hayward, and the two en-
tered that city about daylight the next
morning. Nelson desired to draw about
$500 from the Sawyer county bank, and
then to leave security. The two. men
called on Cashier Pugh, of this bank, be-
fore daylight, and the latter secured the
money, the understanding being that Mel
son was to go to Chicago by way of Ash
land, ard that Nelson's presence in Hay
ward should be kept a secret. Nelson
took the $500, and in company with Buell.
Immediately departed, going toward
Buells home.
Later In the day Buell. was seen going
home on the way from Hayward alone,
carrying a satchel. Still later he left
with pail and gun, claiming that he was
going to carry lunch to Nelson. He re-
turned home in nervous condition, re-
porting that Nelson complained that he
had been chased by Indians. 1t had been
Nelson's custom to write home to his
friends when he was away, but from this
time nothing was heard from him. Buell.
was a very poor man, but after Nelson's
disappearance there was a significant
change in that regard, such as the pur-
chase Of new tract of land by Buell. for
$500, and various articles of personal prop
erty. He took possession CT all of Nell
sons personal effects, and treated them
rs his own.
In July, 1897 the skeleton of a human
being was found lying in a bunch of
thick bushes a rev miles from where
Nelson was last seen with Buell. and
within about one-half mile from an I'M
occupied homestead of Buell. and some
what further from a claim which be-
longed to Nelson. 1t was near an old
Indian trail and the usual route from
Buell's residence to his homestead claim
No money or anything of value was
found, except pocket knife, hich was
identified as one of two knives that had
been sold by a merchant in Hayward,
one CT which was sold to Nelson.
Buell. was arrested in Sawyer county,
tried before Judge Parish, who had been
called from Ashland to preside, was found
guilty Of murder in the first degree, and
vas sent up for life.
The supreme court ordered a new trial,
holding that the lower court erred at the
close Of the trial in giving a general order
to strike out all hearsay testimony with
out particularly specifying what testi-
mcny he meant.

REVOLT IN SAMOA.
Hon. Bartlett Trips Report of 1t
Given to the Senate

Hon. Bartlett Trips Report of 1t
Given to the Senate.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20-In accord
ance with q request from the senate. the
president today transmitted to that body
the personal report of Hon. Bartlett
Trip, the United States member of the
Samoan commission, to the secretary OF
state. Mr.. Trips report is quite apart
from the joint report of the COMMITTEES
and goes into details of the exciting
events in Samoa, which the commission
dealt with. EIa says that when the com
mission arrived in Samoa seven warships
were anchor ed in the quiet little harbor
or Apia, but not a single vessel of COM
merce was to be seen about those beailti-
full tslanl Is. On land soldiers, white an l
native, were patrolling everywhere. A
thousand natives, armed with British
rifles, paraded past. Outside the town
thousands of natives were in arms. The
commanders of the war vessels believed.
Mr.. Trip said, that but for the enforced
arrnlst1ce by the great powers the troops
OF Malletoa, with the assistance of Rrit-
ish and American marines, would have
easily conquered the forces Of Mataaf
ended the contest and established Maize
toa firmly upon his throne. He then re-
counts the disarming of the natives and
the upholding by the commission OF the
decision Of Chief Justice Chambers. IA
Vorable to Malietoa. In continuing, Mr..
Trip says the decision of the Judge is
necessarily final, however much the CON
stderations by which he reaches that CON
clus1on are fallacious. He does not go
at length into the decision. He says both
the Germans, Marquadt and Huffman.
who were under arrest, were immediately
discharged by the commission, there be-
ing no competent evidence against them.
1t might have been in bad taste. he
said, for white men to have espoused the
cause of either candidate for king. but
no rule of law or ethics made it wrong.
Mataafa was the choice of an over
whelming majority of the Samoans, but
in Samoa, Mr.. Trip says, "the select
few and not the people determine the
election of chiefs and king"
AS to the course of Admiral Kautz. II
is maintained the general Instructions of
the naval commanders served to author
lie the putting down of an armed rebel
lion against the lawful government. and
Mr. Trip is of the opinion that the in
structions were not violated by obeying
the majority Of the three consuls.

SCHOOL TAX LAW
Upheld I'm "a Decision Filed by Judge
Elliott.

Judge Elliott yesterday signed a formal
order directing County Auditor Minor to
extend on the tax rolls for 1900 the $40
Of a mill special school tax, levied by
the board on tax levy but not included in
the general tax on account OF an adverse
decision of the supreme court in some
what similar proceeding in st. Paul. The
decision was considered by many to have
a direct application on the question Of the
legality of the enactment by which the
special school tax for Minneapolis was
provided, but County Attorney Healy de-
manded a writ of mandamus to compel
Mr.. Minor to include the special levy in
the general tax and Judge Elliott has
granted the writ.
