DENT IN HIS SKULL
Doctors Believe It Was Slung-Shot
and Not a Fall That Killed
1--> 49, :. Holmberg. -,

An autopsy Of the remains of Ole Holm
berg hostler in midway district sale
stable, held yesterday at .Dampier's I'M
dertaking rooms in ST., Paul by DR.. J.
M. Lewis of Minneapolis and Drs Cobb
and Beckley. of st. Paul., revealed the
fact that death resulted from a fracture
Of the skull. All three physicians agree
that the injury must have, been caused
by some blunt instrument. They reported
the result of the autopsy to Coroner Mil
Ter Of Ramsey county, and an inquest will
be held at once.
Holmberg was found Thursday night in
an unconscious condition on the floor of
the barn just beneath chute leading
from the hay NOW. It was supposed that
he had fallen and received the injuries,
although, no one saw him until ne was
found lying on the 1oor.9 The police were
notified and had the man removed to the
Cobb hospital, where he fingered in an
unconscious condition. until Friday night,
when he died. E!~ .f:j: --'

Prior avenues police maintain that death
resulted fromta fall. tThey say Holmbere
was drunk Thursday might and that he
went to the hay now and either while
asleep or In a drunken stupor feMthrough
a chute to the. first floor. They say, that
Holmberg had no enemies
DR.. J. M. Lewis OF this city, who per-
formed d the autopsy; said to T h e Jour:
."Holmberg died from fracture Of the
skull and am quite certain that the
injury did not result Sfrom a fall. From
the nature Of the wound, I should say
that it was caused, bya some blunt instru.
ment, presumably a slungshot. There was
not a mark ,on. the body except the >fata
injury. Just above and s little behind

result in a coroner s. Jury verdict that will
compel them to act. At present they have
no clue, unless the fact that the man:
life was insured may lead to something

CARVING IS BARRED
Library Board Refuses to Authorize
Wood Carving Glasses Because.
!: = Of Fire Risk. 3d.
The Art School Folk Are Inclined to
Believe the Board Is Over
Cautious.

Friends Of the Minneapolis School of
Fine Arts have not recovered from their
surprise at the reported attitude Of Jacob
Stone, director of the public library,
who persuaded the library board to vote
recently against permitting a wood cary
school on the top floor of the library
building. .
Mr.. Stone was asked this morning: do
you still object to the wood carving class
In the library building on the ground that
the presence of the class would raise the
fire insurance rates on the building?"
Yes, do replied Mr.. Stone.
But" he added, that doesn't concern
the public, does it?'
Then the director disposed of the mat
ter by declaring: 1.-The library board has
voted against allowing a wood carving
class in the building. That ends it.
don't want to get into any controversy
about it.. I must decline to say anything
more'
Supporters, managers and pupils OF; the
Fine Arts school are anxious to introduce
wood carving and feel that the school IS
a proper place for such instruction. Pan
els for carving would, be prepared outside
SO there would be no shavings and the
chips from the carving would amount to
little. The other library directors are
willing to be guided by Mr.. Stone because
ne is QlInSelI d IRE insurance agent.
Otherwise they would not understand why
Mr.. Stone is sure the rates will be raised,
although j. A. Brant, manager of the
Minneapolis Underwriters association,
which establishes the. insurance rates,
says that the presence of a wood carving
class would not raise rates.
"Of course, if there were to be a large
accumulation Of shavings and wood ref
use, the rates would have to go up said
Mr.. .Brant to-day, :"but a few handfuls
Of small chips would not make any diff
ference. The library building Is a good
risk as 1t is but it should be borne in
mind that it contains valuable, paintings
and, books which are susceptible to dam:
age by smoke even though the. fire might
be shut off from them. With proper care
a! class in wood carving would not affect
the rate
"Really,' said director to-day, II don't
know why wood carving shouldn't be
permitted at the school. Training in this
artistic handicraft is encouraged by all
other progressive cities. I don't know
who would raise the. insurance rates in
opposition to the underwriters associa-
ton I wish we thoroughly understood
Mr.. Stones position"

They Put Him Through a Sweating
Process to Secure Information
-..-. on Hold-Up. III

Lewis Nystedt was arrested this after
non by Detectives Morrissey and Stavlo
charged with highway robbery. Nystedt
is believed to be one of the men who have
enticed several men from the city to. the
neighborhood of Prospect Park, and
robbed them. .~-* - -.SE<.T~ i,
Nystedt was identified this afternoon by
Earnest Colvin, his latest victim, as he
was walking along Hennepin avenue. He
was taken to the central police station
where he was subjected to a rigid exam
ination and it is thought he will make a
confession.
It is said that several men have been
robbed in the vicinity of Prospect park
in the past few months, the circumstances
surrounding the various cases lead the
police to believe that the hold-ups We're
done by the same gang. Coivin is posi-
tive in his Identification, and the police
think they have a strong" case against
the man.
1t is possible that Nystedt is connected
with the gang who killed the unknown

MISSIONS IN MEXICO
Presbyterian Ministers Listen to Talk
by Rev. Or. L. F, Wallace
of Mexico.

DR.. L. F. Wallace, missionary and rep
resentative of the Independent Presby-
terrain synod Of Mexico, spoke this morn
ing at the ministers meeting at West
minister church on the work of the Pres
byterian church among the Mexicans.
Naturally this work follows largely in the
line of education, and the conditions for
educating, said the missionary, were
never SO suspicious. Twenty thousand
dollars has been raised for the new COL
lege to be run in connection with the
present theological seminary in the city
Of Mexico Besides this there are ten
day schools and there Is demand for
an industrial school, which it is highly
probable will soon be erected.
Rev. Donald E. Mckay, newly elected
treasurer of the presbytery, announced
the need Of $1,000, one-third to be raised
by April 1, 1904, for the purpose Of Sc
curing men to look after the mission
fields Of st. Louis Park. Camden Place
and Edam, and for the lifting of the
mortgage indebtedness of House Of Faith
Presbyterian church. Mr.. Mckay said
that Westminster church would raise
$3.50 on condition that the other churches
paid the amounts they had subscribed.

"scope OF the Preacher"
Rev. L. H. Hallock. D. D., read paper
on 1.-THE Scope of. the Preacher" at the
Baptist ministers meeting this forenoon.
It caused a stimulating discussion. Dr.
Halock held that evangelization was given
undue prominence by ministers to the det-
riment Of other fields Of ministerial work
Most of the listeners held that the reverse
was true-that evangelization had fallen
off to an alarming degree and that there
had never been greater need for it. Bust
ness, it was declared. interested men more
than questions pertaining to religion, and
this was partly the cause of the torpor in
| the work of conversion. 1t was argued
| that the congregation was too willing tc
leave everything In the hands Of the minis
| ter thereby seriously handicapping his
efforts in the field Of evangelzation.

Unless the friends of the proposed
measures make an energetic effort to
get the people to the polls at the No
vember election, it is quite likely
that the constitutional amendments
to be submitted will meet the same
fate dealt out to the Noel elective
judiciary measure at the Congress
sional election two years ago. The
amendments seek to allow cities,
counties and judicial districts to
take stock in railroad enterprises, to
allow the Legislature which adopts
a constitutional amendment to have
it inserted at the next session, and
the third abolishes the special session
each two years and provides for reg
ular biennial sessions.
