CHECK FOR NEW YORK LAWYER
CASHED BY ST. PAULITE

take.

The city legal department, City Comp
troller McCardy, and City Clerk Matt
Jensen, are just now engaged in trying
to locate an order for S. which some one
in st. Paul has unlawfully appropriated
to his own use.
For professional services in the case
of William McGrew, against the city
Robert H. Johnston, an attorney residing.
in New York city, was credited with the
sum of IS by Corporation Attorney Mark
ham. The claim was audited last De-
cember, and on the 23d of that month a
voucher issued by Comptroller McCardy
was claimed by a party who answered to
the name on the voucher. On Jan. 8 it
was cashed by one of the local banks in
which the city's funds are kept.
Last week a letter was received from
the New York attorney asking for a SET
tlement, and the investigation which fol-
lowed brought to light the fact that it
had been secured by someone in st. Paul.
The voucher, which is now in the pos
session of the legal department, bears

in his opposition to accepting the cor
oner's jury verdict as final, and insists
on thorough investigation of all facts
believing firmly that not only was his
brother treated brutally at the hospital
but limiting, it is said, that there may
have been foul play previous to that
time, which resulted in his insanity The
coroner's jury declared that Rachel did
not die as the result of injuries received
from the hospital employees. The post
mortem examination seems to Indicate
that he did not die of what are generally
termed natural causes Among the
rumors afloat is one to the effect that
Rachel was poisoned not with the in
tentfon of killing him, but by parties in
terested in the Tanke case, who wished
to fix Rachel so he would be discharged
from jury duty.
The charge is not only an ugly one.
but hardly sounds credible However,
1t is being freely discussed around ST.
Peter, and KacheI's brother is said to
believe it. 1t is alleged that in The de-
tense of Tanke considerable money was
expended. KachePs brother is said to
believe that day or two before the trial
closed Rachel was given some pills with
out any Doctors prescription and that
soon afterwards he was seized with the
fit from which he never recovered.
Were Pills Administered.
He believes that his brother was given
these pills for the purpose of putting
him in condition that would unfit him
for jury duty, and that when he became
violent he was taken to the asylum
and While there was very badly treated
also that the post-mortem showed evil
dences of bruising and beating. The
board of control will make no statement
as TO what it will do in the case. In
view of the charges floating back and
forth an investigation would seem to be
necessary to settle the rumors as either
false or true, and if true to bring
the guilty ones to account.

BONDS FOR ARMORY
BOARD OF ALDERnE.N AUTHORIZES
ISSUE OF gS99,5OO FOR
PURPOSE
WHooPs OF JOY FILL CHAMBER
City Becomes owner of Present
Armory and Grounds, and As
sumes $I7,4OO Mortgage
Up to Assembly.

The board of aldermen last evening
gave unanimous approval to an ordinance
authorizing the construction OF an
Grmtfy, and the issuance of S99,500 worth
81 bonds to meet the expense.
Members of the National guard, IN
c4uc rs the officers of the local compan-
les. we're in attendance, and when the
vote vas announced approving the propo-
sitlon, cheers Wer given with a will The
chamber was filled with the soldier boys
and it was some time before the business
or the session could proceed, because of
their Whoops Of joy.
In return for it's promise to issue bonds
ana construct an armory, the city be-
comes owner of the present ground and
armory at Sixth and Exchange streets.
The ground holding consists of three lots,
one of which was lately Pc chased by
the armory association with money it
controlled. Fhe city in taking over the
lots and building assumes a mortgage of
about $l7 400, of which $1,000 in held by
eX-Gov. Ramsey
The bonds which will extend over n
period of twenty years, will be of $3.50
each, and will net the holder 31A per cent
annually. Ordinarily an issue of this
character is not recognized by the char
ter unless vote of the people has been
secured, but in the case of an armory,

Of the bonds Will go before the assembly
Thursday evening, and it is expected will
receive the same unanimous considera-
ton accorded by the board of aldermen

armory proposition, and will give the bill
his signature.
Plans are now being prepared for the
new building, and viii be ready when the
bonds have been placed on the market.

STORM is BREWING
ST. PETER ASYLUM UPHEAVAL
CAUSES CONSIDERABLE
DISCUSSION
SENTIMENT FAvoRs ROGERS
st. Peter People Believe That Dr..
TOmIinsOn and Board of Con-
troll Are Mostly to
Blame.

A storm is brewing in connection with
tie upheavel at the st. Peter asylum
which resulted in the discharge Of two
of the officials st that institution. Just
where and when it will break out is not
known. The board of control absolutely
refuses to give out any information what
soever regarding the situation. At st.
Peter great excitement prevails, and the
town is divided into factions Some peo-
pie are blaming the board of control,
others are blaming DR.. Tomlinson, head
OF the institution, and others are blam-
ing both.
A resident of st. Peter, pretty well In
formed of the situation, was in ST Paul
yesterday, and, in discussing the case,
said: The. sentiment of St. Peter is al
most unanimously with Rogers and Teg-
ner, and against both the board of cor
troll and DR.. Tomlinson In the first place
1t must be remembered that Rogers was
one or the Oldest and most trusted en-
ployeS of the institution He was con-
nected with the institution for fourteen
years, mostly as bookkeeper. Mr.. Rogers
was called in to succeed Mr.. Hurst as
steward because things We're in a tangle,
and Mr.. Rogers was deemed the right
man to straighten them out. He was a
CONSCIENTIOUS employee, and the state has
not lost penny on his account The
trouble is he was made responsible for
the system without being given the re-
sponsibility that might have enabled him
to avoid errors.
1T is said that Dr. Tomlinson. when
ever he wanted any supplies, would not
condescend to ask the steward but Sc
cured the supplies without a requlsition
When the board of control found a dis
crepancy in the accounts of supplies DR.
Tomllnson threw all the blame on Rogers
and his bookkeeper. That is what the
people of st. Peter think at least"
EmpIoye Is Caustic.
An employee of the asylum gave the
following information relative to the hos
pltal upheaVal:
It's been coming for some time. And
there are more coming, too. Ever since
the cut in wages things have been on
the IN bum here What could you expect?
Ihey picked up lot of dummies for
the wards at SIS month, which was all
the board allowed for new attendants.
WeH man who will work for SIG is
only worth that, and, of course they
didn't give good service. 1t was the same
IN other departments. I've got nothing
to say against Tommey (Supt TomIin.
SOM, but he has his favOrites, and he
takes care of them. Perhaps it is be-
cause they are good men, and [ guess
That is 1t, for, of course, he is held re-
SponSlble for the whole works but any,
now the men he wants to stay are kept
and the ones he doesn't approve Of 60.
Well when lot of these cheap ones got
to making mistakes, they got to firing
them, and for the last two or three weeks
ever since this Rachel affair, the grounds
have been all tracked up, and the foot
prints are all pointed in one direction
