MAY LOSE HER LIFE
MINNEAPOLIS WOMAN STRUCK by
INPBRURBAN CAR AND SERI-
OUSLY INJURED
SKULL FRACTURED BY BLOW
Did Not See Car Coming and stepped
I'm Front of It-But Little
Chance for Her
Recovery.

Miss Jessie Taylor, who lives at S23
Fifth avenue south, Minneapolis, was
struck by an Interurban street car at
$3.50 last evening at Smelling and Unit
versity avenues, and received injuries
which will likely prove fatal. She had
spent New Years day with her nephew,
Joseph Hart, at 1908 Carroll street, and
was on her way to her home in Mime
apolis when the accident occurred.
Miss Taylor, in company with Miss
Jessie Hart, walked to Smelling avenue
where one was going to take the Min
neapolis car and the other the one to st.
Paul. When they were few roDs from
University they saw the west-bound car
coming, and Miss Hart ran to stop IT,
AS she came to the tracks she saw a
car coming from the west and hurried
across the track ahead of the car. AS
she did So she turned and called TO
Miss Taylor to stop, as she could not
cross ahead of the car. 1t seems that
Miss Taylor did not see the car that
was coming from the west and hurried
to catch the car that was stopping m
answer to Miss Harris signal. AS she
stepped on the track the car struck ner,
knocking her down and fracturing her
skull.
She was carried into Mr.. Wabertons
store and DR.. Bole summoned. He made
a thorough examination of her injuries
and found that her skull was fracturea
and that she was suffering from internal
injuries, and ordered her sent to St. Jo-
seph's hospital. 1t appears that the
headlight on the car struck Miss Fay-
Tor as the glass of the light was broken.
She received bad cut across the lett
side of the forehead, and the skull was
fractured by the same blow.
Miss Taylor is employed in the Ladies'
Home bakery, in Minneapolis. She is forty
years of age, and is a native of Scot
land
Miss Hart, who was with her at the
time Of the accident, was suffering last
evening from extreme nervousness occa-
stoned by the excitement of the accl-
dent.

That portion of the city which depends

1t had not been anticipated, either by
the city officials or general public, that
the American Development company
would insist on a rigid Interpretation of

FOR ROBBING MAILS
WILLIAM J. WORK, A POsTOFFICE
EMPLOYE, ARRESTED BY
INSPECTOR
FIVE DOLLARS THE AMOUNT
Has Been Trusted Night Clerk
working by Himself for
the Past Fourteen
Years.

William J. Work, for over fourteen
years night clerk in the local postoftice
was arrested yesterday by the United
States marshal on the charge of robbing
the mails.
During the years Work had handl cd
mail matter and up to the time of his
arrest he has never been suspected. The
prisoner is fifty-five years of age, the
father of an invalid daughter, and the
husband of an invalid wife. His plea
that as little publicity as possible be
given the case was pitiful, and his fear
that his feeble wife might be killed by
his trouble was touching.
Of recent years Mr. Works duties at
the office have opened with the midnight
hour and concluded at 4 in the morning
During all this time he is alone, save
for the occasional delivery of mail at
the office by the two collectors, who work
during the hours between 10 p. m. and
a. m. 1t is claimed that Work had
most exceptional opportunity to peculate
during his lonely vigil, and it is further
alleged that it has been his custom,
while at work in his basement office, to
abstract from the mail valuable packages.
Work was arraigned before United
States Commissioner Spencer yesterday
afternoon on the charge of having OPEN
ed two letters and taken the sum of
PO. AAC Wd4NSO anu WdS Vi
dered held in the county Jail under a
$1,000 bond.
Mr.. Works home is at White Bear, and
shortly after his arrest he telegraphed
his stepson, Lyman Parker, who also re-
sides in that village, requesting him to
notify Mrs. Work as gently as possible.
and then to come in town and consult
over the details Of the case.
While it is not known for just exactly
no
been particularly troubled by the loss o.
matter mailed in st. Paul, it is believed
thai the trouble dates back number of
years.
1t is known that Col. G. G. Kimban,
postoffice inspector for this district, with
headquarters in the old federal building,
has been working, with the direct as
sistance of Assistant Inspector N. Noile,
on the case for at least a couple of years.
During this time a number of the force
of local postofice employees have been
watched, but in every case the watching
has revealed nothing.
For some time, it would appear, par
ticular attention has been directed To-
wards Work by the inspectors, with the
final result of his arrest.
The strength of the testimony against
the prisoner is not known, for Col Kim
ball absolutely refuses to reveal anything
regarding the governments side OF the
case, fearing to weaken the testimony
which will be brought out at Works
subsequent trial.
The grand jury which will return the III
dictment against Mr.. Work, if any is
found, meets on the 18th of this month
III the federal building.
Work will probably be released today
under a $1,000 bond signed by Lyman
Parker, his stepson, and F. G. Warner.
