LITIGATION ovERA CHILD WIFE N
Williams, colored, living at 80 north
Payne street, was in the Police Court
last night, on the charge of taking bis
infant child, aged two years, from the
legal custody of it's aunt, who risides In
Washington, Williams and private
detective, who resides in Washington,
went to the house 10 Washington yes
terday, and took the child from Its aunt.
Later Williams brought the child to his
home 10 this city. The mother and
father are separated. When the mother
learned of the facts 10 the case, she
came to this city, and lodged complaint
a. the s,ationhouse. Upon the complaint
of the woman Williams was arrested.
The case was called shortly after 8
O'Clock, and the father was represented
by +. Il. Taylor, and K. Kemper repre-
seD1ed the mother of the child. The
mayor, after he ring the evidence, and
argument on both sides, which occupied
some time, stated that he had no jurls-
dic,ion 10 the matter, and he there
fore dismi ssed the case, leaving the
child 10 the custody OF the father. A
scene was enacted after Mayor Simpson
announced that he had dismissed the
case. When Williams attempted to
leave the court room with his child the
mother rushed forward and attempted
to take the baby from the father. Her
efforts were frustrated by the police 10
charge. Williams had to wait in the
prisoners room until the mother left
the court room. During the progress
of the hearing the child repeatedly call
ed for its mother, and toward the close
the mother wept aloud.

school board:
State Normal School, w B. MITCHELL Resi-
dent Director and Treasurer, St. Cloud, Mimi,
Oct. 5, 19O1.-Governor Samuel R. Van SAINT,
St. Paul, Minn.-Dear Sir: 1 would respect
fully beg leave herewith to tender my resigna-
tion as a member of the board Of directors of
the state normal schools.
All efforts at satisfactory adjustment OF
the differences between the state normal
board and the board Of control Of state in
stitutions having proved fruitless, by rea-
of the demands Of the latter board to
extend its control beyond the legitimate
sphere Of the financial affairs Of the normal
schools to those affecting the course Of study
and others having only an educational rela-
ton, l not willing to continue to bear a
responsibility which carries with 1t no right
of judgment.
The attitude of the board Of control has
been narrow illogical, unjust and overbear-
ing, it's agreements have been violated, and
it's demands have been Illegal but as it
has the power to throttle the normal schools
unless there is complete submission to its
demands, 1 prefer to step out rather than
make the surrender required or emDarrass the
institution with which have been most
directly conL ected.
Thanking you for the honor of the appoint
ment as a member of the normal board,
which when unembarrassed has proved itself
one of the most useful of the boards of the
state and for the uniform kindness and
consideration received from you, l am very
respectfully yours, w. =. Mitchell.

WASSHE MURDERED?
Death of Miss Pelton at Dodge Cen
ter Investigated
G. G. HARTLEY HELD FOR MURDER
Robbery Said to Have Been His Mo.
ttve-Indicted at MantOrvilIe
In First Degree.

Special to The Journal.
Rochester, Mimi, Oct. 1.-THE grand
Jury Of Dodge county, sitting at Mantor-
Vile, has indicted Charles G. Hartley, of
Dodge Center, for murder in the first de-
gree. Hartley pleaded not guilty and will
be tried at Mantorville. AS Dodge county
is without safe jail, he will be kept in
the Jail in this county.
Hartley has been proprietor Of the
Dodge Center Transfer house which was
destroyed by fire one night last June. On
that night he met at the station and es-
corted to his hotel Miss Bertha Pelton, a
school teacher of Kenyon. who was on her
way to her home in Wisconsin, having
finished her term Of school. This was
about o'clock in the morning. At 4
o'clock the hotel burned. and the re-
mains of Miss Pelton were taken from the
ashes several hours later. Her corpse
was blackened and burned by the flames,
but it was recognizable and was claimed
and buried by relatives.
Hartley, is Is said, has told many con-
Trajectory stories Of the origin of the fire
and has been under suDicion for some
time. The officials, however, have been
secretive and careful in gathering
evidence, and the indictment will cause
much surprise.
1t is the theory of the state that Hart
ley caused the death Of the girl in a man
ner not yet made known, and then set
fire to the hotel in an attempt to hide his
first crime. Robbery Is alleged to have
been his motive. The empty purse of Miss
Pelton was found in the ruins and pointed
to robbery and foul play. 1t was known
she had money, for she had just finished
her term of school and been paid.
Edward Corrigor Of West Concord has
been brought here to serve ninety days for
assault in the second degree. Sylvan
Childs Of the same place pleaded guilty to
petit larceny and was sentenced to a
term Of forty-five days in the Olmsted
county Jail.

Great Game of Roofing.

Along with the game of football to-mor-

phones big and little and all sorts of con-

store for tomorrow; they, of course.

amounts.
Minnesota ROOters' Plans.
If ever there was any doubt as to the
ability of the "rooters" at the university
to enthuse on occasion such doubt was
certainly dispelled at the big meeting held
in chapel this morning Enthusiasm ran
riot and over 1,50O students under the di-
rection of the president of the "Rooters

rousing demonstration of their faith in the

the sturdy warriors from across the Mis-

Nebraska colors, were worn by the mile.
