DANGER FROM THESTEpS
THOSE ON HALL AVENUE A MENACE
TO LIVES OF Pedestrians
West Side Improvement Association
Has Decided to Ask Assistance
of Notwithstanding
Wall Is Wanted.

The Hall avenue steps ON South Wa
basha street, leading to Prospect heights,
are again figuring as a menace to the
lives Of those that use them. Frost and
the elements are getting in their work
on the face Of the steep bluff just back
of the steps, and 1t may be found neces-
sary to close them and deny their use
to the public.
Last year the city engineering depart
ment spent several thousand dollars in
the construction of a retaining wall, but
while 1t assists to g. certain extent, much
of the danger from falling masses of rock
yet remains.
Not only is the bluff unsafe to those
who use the steps, but pedestrians are
in constant danger of being crushed to
death by the disintegration which Is con-
stantly taking place. The bluff Is COM
posed of sand rock and readily succumbs
to the action of the elements; frost, in
particular, causes it to fall away in large
pieces. To construct a retaining wall
that would eliminate all danger, the en-
cheering department estimates would
call for an expenditure of fully $4,000.
Others think the difficulty could be solved
better by changing the roadway.
The West side Improvement association
has taken the matter in hand and will
call upon the council to assist 1t in MAX
ing the place perfectly safe.

NO PARDON FOR BRIGGS
HIS APPLICATION DENIED BY
BOARD of PARDONS
Chief Justice Start Could Not See
Why CIemency Was Advisable
Other Cases Act
cd On.

At special meeting Of the state board
Of pardons held yesterday afternoon. Fred
A. Briggs application for Communication
of sentence was denied. Before the meet
ing Briggs announced that in case the
action of the board should be upfavorabla
he would take a carriage and drive to the
Minneapolis work house at Single Creek.
for the purpose of preventing Sheriff Me-
garden from collecting fees for taking
him there.
Briggs is now under sentence Of tho
Hennepin county court to serve SIR
months at the work house and pay q
fine of 5000 for violation of the gambling
laws by: inducing saloonkeepers to place
Observation-Disclosures machines in their places
of business. In a second case of the
same character Briggs was granted new
trial on an appeal to the supreme court
and there are still twenty seven indict-
ments charging similar offenses which
have not been tried.
Briggs was represented before the board
Of pardons by Attorney w. A. Kerr, OF
Minneapolis, and United States Marshal
Grimshaw also made plea in his behalf.
Mr.. Grlmshaw declared that Briggs was
the most prosecuted man in Minneapolis
and the severe sentence imposed upon
him by the court was the result OF a
conspiracy in which the county attorney
and other officials had lent themselves to
the purposes of a ring of professional
gamblers of the worst type. who wished
to wreak their vengeance upon Briggs.
Mr. Kerr also spoke before the board, set
ting forth that Briggs had been unfairly
dealt with and had not been given fair
trial. There was a petition presented.
urging communication of sentence.
After the application had been sub
mitted, Chief Justice Start said that In
such cases he did not believe in singing
out one man and making him the
yjcarious victim of others. but the fact
that 1t had not been customary to impose
Imprisonment upon gamblers in Mime
apolis Or elsewhere did not necessitate
that this board should interfere in this
case. He thought 1t would be better II
the gamblers were imprisoned fer they
cared nothing for fine which they could
pay out Of one nights winnings. Per-
haps if the plan of Imprisonment were
adopted gambling would cease. He had
looked into Briggs past history and from
all he could learn he did not feel justified
in interfering in the case. Attorney Cen
eral Douglas said he considered that the
Judgment Of the court should be per-
mitted to stand.
Mrs. Elsie B. Foss. sent to the state
penitentiary from Mankato for shoplift-
ing, was granted a pardon In considera-
ton of the fact that since she has been
Imprisoned her husband has lost a portion
of his right leg: that one of her two Ht-
tie children died last Tuesday night and
that she herself has been Ill.

WITHIN PATROL LIMITS
SALOON BUILT BY sCHLITZ ceM-
PANY CANNOT BE OPENED
Unless Council Acts Fayorably on
Appeal, the Brewing Com
pany Will Lose
$4,000.

Unless the city council sees fit to In
terfere to the extent of modifying the
boundary lines of the prohibition district
adjacent to the public baths, the Schiitz
Brewing company stands an excellent
chance of losing about $1,000.
A week ago the company. through its
local agents, secured a building permit
for a saloon building to be erected at
Wabasha and Water street. The build
ing is now under way, but investigator
made yesterday developed the fact that il
is in the prohibition district and cannot
be used for saloon purposes. The terri
tory involved is bounded by Wabasna,
Water, Fillmore and Hyde streets and
was set aside last spring at the instance
Of DR.. Ohage.
The only way out of the difficulty is an
appeal to- the council, and this will
probably be done at the meeting to be
held next week. If not granted the cons
pany stands to lose its investment.
According to a map on file in the city
clerks office, nearly two-thirds of st.
Paul is within the prohibited district and
the area is being added to yearly. The
last patrol limits to be extended were In
the vicinity of Indian Mounds park,
where strip of territory nearly mile
in extent was set aside.

The clogging UP OF cutters and the

night to ask that some steps be TAX
en- to prevent repetition of the trouble.
Before the sewers were constructed
South st. Paul and the surrounding ter
ritory IN Dakota county was drained into

more convenient to use the st. Paul

to accommodate the addition. and in con-
sequence empty the surplus IN cellars and

Omaha road and his back was broken by
falling from bridge at Vernon Center,
Mimi, July 2, 1898. He was brought to
ST. Paul and taken to st. Lukes hos

Des Moines, Sept. 27.-Because her

jerome Bisby. Mrs. Bisby alleged
that her husband is religious fanatic
and insisted on her moving fourteen
times within a year and living with
him in the slums in order that he
might carry on private missionary
work. She bore this with becoming
fortitude and stifled her desire to sing
Methodist songs. She even went so
far as to join her husband occasional
ly in singing Adventist songs. But
when several of her neighbors called
on her while he was absent at prayer

CHARLTON MAN HAD TWO WIVES.
Married the First in 1860 and Was
Never Divorced.

Charlton, Sept. 27.-William John
son, who died in this city, left wife
and thirteen children to mourn their
loss. From recent developments it
seems that he also left another wife
about forty-one years ago, and never
went back to her. He was married to
her on July 5, 1860, and the next year
joined the 18th Missouri cavalry and
went to war She never heard from
him after that and after the war she
mourned him as dead Sometime ago
she applied to the pension department
for a widows pension, and received
the startling information that her hus-
band was alive and living in Charlton,
Iowa. That was something over year
ago. She came here and found him
alive and well. He did not deny that
he was himself, and just what excuse
he offered for not returning to her af-
ter the war will probably never be di-
vulged He was then living with the
wife and children that still live here
and mourn him as husband and faith
er. Wife No. 1 is trying to secure
possession of the property of Mr..
Johnson, whom she claims was never
legally married to any other woman
Wife No. 2, it is said, has the real es
tate property in her name, so it is like
ly that wife No. 1 will have to heal her
indignation and wounded feelings with
something else besides property and
personal belongings. The develop.
ments of the case will be watched
with interest.
Mr.. Johnson, before his death was a
member of Iseminger Post of this city
and was drawing a pension as an hon,
orably discharged soldier. He was bur-
led with military honors by the local
post.
