POLICE MYSTERIES.
Many People Have Disappeared and No
Trace of Them Ever Found

There are many things of interest in
the police office, but one of the depart
ments that is very interesting is the
search that is constantly going on for
missing people. There is considera bic
mystery in connection with many
cases and on this account they are
more interesting to the police than
other departments of the work.
The prize mystery in the Office is the
ore in connection with the disappear
ance of man named John Barry.
The man has been missing for nearly
a year now and the police and his fam
| lily have never been able to hear a
word from him. Barry left home one
stormy night with good round sum
of money on his person and that was
the last ever heard of him. His wife
has always held that he met with some
foul play, but if he did the police were
never able to get any clue of it. The
| search for Barry has been diligent
one and even now letters are being
sent out to the old home of the man
| across the sea making an effort to To-
cate him.
7 Another similar case is the one of
w. d. Hopkins, who has also been
missing for year. He left behind
| him a wife and family, but the police
have never found any trace of him.
He left home presumably to come to
the city, but he never reached the city
and seems to have dropped out of
existence.
Patrick Fagen is another that is on
the list of the missing. He dis
appeared about two or three months
ago and his disappearance would never
have been noticed but for the fact that
he was afterward found to be one of the
heirs to large fortune left by a re1a-
tive in Ireland. He has been traced to
many places, but like the wi11-'o-the-
wisp, he was not there when the Off
GERS went to find him. The fortune
is still in the hands of Chicago attor-
neys awaiting the return of the
wanderer.
Of course it is possible that all three
of the missing men have met with
foul play, but the officers seem to dis
credit any such theory and hold that
they will all come back in the sweet
bye and bye.
Besides these there are many cases
of Kenosha criminals who are sup
posed to have fled from justice and
who have never been heard of. The
we11-known case of the missing Lynch
heir is still recalled, while after long
search the officers managed to locate a
missing heir of John Reiter after he
had been missing for twenty years.
Ali these cases are interesting, and
the police hope to some time locate all
the missing ones.

SCHOOL TANaE UNITED
THE STATE AUDITOR PREsCRIBEs
LINES FOR FIGURING SCHOOL
DISTRICT APPORTT0NMENT
NO CLAUSE CAN QUALIFY
Per Capita Basis of DISTRIBUTION ns
to Money Derived From
School Lands and
Interest.

State Auditor Dunn yesterday issued
circular regarding the distribution Of
the states apportionment OF school funds.
Judge Crosby, in case recently taken
to the district court by the county au.
ditor Of Kanabec county, held that the
state law imposing certain conditions
upon school districts could not apply to
the money received from the sale of
school lands and the income on money
belonging to that fund.
Tho constitution says that the state
school fund derived from the income and
sale of lands decided to this fund must
be equitably distributed among the schooE
districts Of the state on a per capItG
basis. 49,.
The state law on the other hand pro-
vides that to share. in state aid school
districts must levy a special or one mill
tax amounting to an amount equal to the
state aid. Judge Crosby decided the
case last fall. holding that no condition
whatever could be imposed upon the dis
trbut1on of the school land money, as
the constitution distinctly provides that
1t must be divided per capita without
condition.
The last apportionment amounted to
100000, one half of this amount being So.
cured from the school fund lands and
the other hall from the one mill state
tax
The following is the text of Mr.. Dunn's
communication to county auditors:
In the manner of the apportionment Of
the state school funds among the school
districts of your county, l beg leave to
call your attention to the fact that Judge
CrosDy, OF the First judicial district has

put do not apply to the income received
from the school lands of the state
Ihe state school funds to be apportion-
ed are derived about equally from the
hence hence the limitations of section 376s,
cited above. apply to one-half Of the
state funds to be distributed to v6ur
school districts. For the present there
tore you will, so far as practicable. fol-
low the following rule:
school districts that have levied nv
special and the local one mill school tax
an amount equal to one-half of the state

HER FEET BADLY FROZEN

For nearly two days Mrs Robert Phil
lips lay exposed to cold and hunger in q
clump OF woods near the end of Mar
shall avenue. where she was found almost
unconscious yesterday morning. The
woman's feet are badly frozen and may
have to be amputated while her hands
and ears are also severely frost-bitten.
The woman is in such an exhausted con-
dttion that she is able to tell but little
about herself beyond her name She
says she lives with her husband on Rob-
ert street, but cannot tell the exact ad-
dress. She is subject to epileptic fits
and probably fell where she was found
In one Of these attacks, though how she
came to be In such an isolated place Is
not clear
The woman was found by Louis Lor~
lend. who works on a farm near the
woods. He heard groans while teamIng
about the farm yesterday morning and
saw the woman lying at the edge OF the
wood. Hurrying to the spot he realized
her terrible plight. and at once notified
the Prior avenue police The police re-
moved the woman to the station and
summoned the city hospital ambulance,
40 "hASu ollO was IdhSll 10 Inc hospital.
AT the station the woman lapsed into
complete Inconsistencies. The officers
removed her shoes by cutting them off
and found her feet and ankles frozen
stiff. Her fingers were also frozen. Be-
fore the ambulance arrived she recov-
cred consciousness, but seemed complete
ly exhausted, answering all questions in
dazed sort of way. She talked about
her husband as though there had been
some domestic trouble, but when the po-
lice asked If Mr.. Phillips should be no.
titled the woman emphatica!Iy objected.
She was we'll dressed and appeared to be
woman Of some refinement. Nothing
was found on her person to explain her
predicament. She had no money but
half loaf of bread was found beside
her in the woods. She said she had pur-
chased a loaf of bread the day before
she was found. From the woman's con-
dition the physicians at the hospital
think she must have been exposed to the
weather for probably two days. 1t Is
believed that the woman's life will be
saved. but the physicians fear 1t may
be necessary to amputate her feet. She
is about thirty years Of age.
