SAID House was Being stolen.
IND1ANAPoIIs. April 8 (SpI)
On complaint of Hiram Plummer,
real estate agent, that house be-
longing to Joseph Friedman & Co.,
of Point Pleasant, w Va, was be-
ing stolen from the lot at 1863
Rhode Island street. Judge Allen
granted restraining order this
morning.
Joseph Toole was found moving

been secured at the Board of Pub
lie Works office. Toole was ar
rested. Only in the lasttew months
was it discovered that Mrs. Carne-
liza Buokner had built a house on
the lot. Friedman & Co. have
owned the lot and paid the taxes
on it for 10 years, but only recent
ly noticed that the taxes had in
creased.
Toole says Mrs. Buokner hired
him to move tho house, and that
he knows nothing aboutthe owner
ship. Final hearing will be April
10th.
The above was taken from yester-

Police Claim That Larsen Was nm
Ex-CoRvfct Victim Bore Up
BraveIy to the END, Hoping He
Would Recover in Order to Even
Up Things with the Man Who
Shot Him.
Stewart Webb, the young man who
shot William Larsen during a quarrel
in fuel office at 30S North Washing
ton street Dec. 2, may have to stand
trial for murder as Larsen died yester-
day afternoon from the effects of the
wound inflicted by Webb. Larsen was
wounded with shotgun, full charge
of shot entering his left shoulder. The
shoulder blade was shattered, and it is be-
leved several of the shot penetrated the
left lung or lodged dangerously near the
heart. For several days after being
taken to the hospital Larsen seemed to
improve and hope of his recovery was
entertained. Two weeks ago. however,
he began to grow worse and continually
became weaker until the end.
No ante-mortem statement was Sc
cured from Larsen by the authorities
and toward those with whom he came
in contact at the hospital Larsen main
tanned an obstinate silence regarding the
shooting. He possessed remarkable
courage and insisted that he would get
well. When questioned about the
shooting he would become silent, save
declaring that he would get we'll to even
things up with the man that shot him.
AS the end approached yesterday the
physicians told Larsen he could not live,
advising him to make a statement, but
Larsen only smiled and weakly reiter-
ated his determination not to die. He
would not even consent to his relatives
being sent for. The physicians have no
hesitancy In attributing Larsen's death
to the wound he received at Webb's
hands.
The shooting occurred in a little fuel

paratory to fighting. Reaching for the

the barrel and pointing the gun at Lar
sen he warned him not to approach.
Webb claims Larsen started at him,
when he pulled the trigger. Just as the
gun went off Cornell grabbed the barrel
and turned it aside so that the charge
struck Larsen in the shoulder instead of
in the head. At the time Webb frankly
said he intended to shoot Larsen, but
claimed he was an expert shot and only
intended hitting Larsen on the arm or
singing" his clothes to brighten him.
After the shooting Webb tried to escape,
but was, captured near Rice park after
a short cl ase.
Larsen was thirty years of age and
lived at State and Tennessee streets with
his mother and sister. He claimed
to be a horse trader, but the police say
he was an ex-eonvict, claiming he served
time at Saltwater for highway rob-
berry. ~ So "a y ~ 81

Little Mary Jottfred Terribly Burmed
by Her Clothing Taking Fire.
Mary Jottfred, the eight-year-old daugh-
ter of Joseph Jottfred, laborer living
at 663 Canton street, was badly burned
yesterday afternoon through her clothing
catching fire from a stove, while she was
left alone for few minutes The child's
lower limbs, stomach and chest, were Sc
verely burned, but it is believed she did
not inhale any of the flame. and the
physicians at the city hospital, where she
wAs taken for treatment, hope for her re-
covery.
The child was left alone in the kitchen,
shortly after o'clock, while Mrs. Jott-
fred went into the yard. In a spirit Of
childish curiosity the little girl opened the
stove door and stirred the Goals within
with a poker. Her clothing brushed close
to the door and caught fire. In an in
slant the child was enveloped in flames.
Screaming with terror, she rushed out Of
the house, when the wind caught the
blaze and caused her clothing to burn
more fiercely. Mrs. Jottfred ran to the
childs assistance and tore away part of
the burning clothing, while smothering
the flames about the child's head with her
own dress. The mothers hands were pain
fully burned In addition to the burns the
child sustained a severe nervous shock,
which aggravates the danger of her con-
dition

Observer Lyons review of the weather
for the year is as follows:
1.-THE records of the u. S. weather bur-
eau office show that the meteorological
conditions at St Paul and vicinity during
the year 1899 were rather erratic and at
eral the law of final compensation pre-
vailed, SO that the general averages show
nearly normal temperature. as well as
precipitation. The extremes mentioned
above were in temperature, which was alb
normally low, averaging a daily deficiency
of degrees from Jan. to April 8. but
thence out, and especially during the sum
mer months, normal conditions obtained.
but it remained for the autumn season to
compensate for the great deficiency men
toned heretofore, which it more than did,
and the year closed with a showing of
degree warmer than normal.
1.-The annual normal temperature for st.
Paul and vicinity is 43 degrees; the aver
age for 1898 is "A degrees: the highest and
lowest temperatures registered during the
year were So above zero. on Aug. TO- and
SO below zero on Feb. 8; the temperature

and 1t remained at or below that point at
all times, both day and night, on IS days.
