A BABY IN THE PLUMBING
[x,S ACTIVE IMAGINATION
FIX'S
He Flooded the Central station
| Looking for Suppositi-
tiOus Infant.

Lewis Fix. q we'll appearing man OF
about 30, suffered from an awful halluc1-
nation last night, and gave the othcers at
the central police station, who tried to
care for him, no end of trouble. Fix was
not intoxicated enough to warrant his
arrest on a charge of drunkenness when
he wandered into the station shortly be-
fore midnight and asked for place to
sleep. A rough bed was given him in the
tramp room, and he lay down to rest.
Within an hour he aWoke and told the
officers on watch that inside the sink in
the corner of the room there was baby
imprisoned.
/ Listen" cried Fix, as he bent his ear
to the basin, cant you hear the child
crying?"
The officer said he could not.
"You cruel, inhuman beast" yelled Fix,
excitedly, would you kill the child? If
you will not release the little one l will. -
tear away the woodwork about the bot
tom of the ,washstand. The officer pre-
vented him doing so, and later Fix was
induced to lie down and go to sleep.
Early this morning the officers went
down to see what Fix was doing, for he
was making a great deal of noise. TIC
their surprise they found the man had
taken apart all Of the plumbing and the
| wash basin, and had set the water loose
| This had flooded the room to the depth
of nearly foot. zs
Fix then became frantic, saying that
| the officers had not taken the child Out
! and that it had been drowned. At day
break he was taken to the city hospital
where he told. the attendants the story
| of the cruelty Of the police.

Accident at Government Dam No.
-Dalgren's Condition
Serious.
BUT ESCAPES INSTANT DEATH

I A cable used in hosting the great dirt
carriers at government lock and dam No.,
on the Mississippi. broke yesterday,
and one Of the carriers, weighing about
300 pounds, fell striking Charles E. Dali
gren, who was working beneath it. Dali
gren was pinned between the rocks and
the heavy box and could not be released
for some time. His companions, who saw
the cable break and were fortunate enough
to get from under, expected to find Dali
gren dead when they removed the car
rier, but found that he had apparently
suffered only a very severe confusion OF
the back and that no bones were broken.
His escape from. instant death was con-
sidered almost miraculous.
Dalgren and his fellows were working
on the Minneapolis side of the river di-
rectly beneath the end of the cable which
carrier the load across the river. The
carrier had reached the end of the line
and was about to be swung into position
50 that the load could be deposited when
the cable broke. The men cried COX
out" and ran. All escaped the falling box
but Dalgren.
4 He was picked up and taken to the city
hospital in the police patrol wagon. There
1t was discovered that he had suffered
Internal injuries, and it Is now feared
that he cannot live. Dalgren is a single
man, aged about thirty years. He lived
with brother Peter o. Dalgren, at 241s

HARD WORK FOR DREGER
Bridge Repair Notices That Must b
nj

e Posted at Once.
Sheriff Dreger was appraised of some new
duties sdevolving upon him as sheriff this
morning, and he gasped in establishment
There was a council of war with his chief
lieutenant, Arthur Jones, and the conclu-
sion was reached that the persons who drew
a certain law had a grudge against the
sheriff's Office.
It seems that the law provides that the
sheriff shall post all notices for bids for
bridge and road improvements. These no.
tees must be posted in three places within
the township in which the work is to be done
There are many such notices waiting to be
posted and they must all be up by next Sat-
urday and here is where the sheriff confronts
a hard proposition.
A great deal of road and bridge work is
planned for the present year so that notices
must be posted in practically every township
in the county. 1t will take between 900 and
400 miles Of driving to make the rounds and
it must all be done in four days. The recen:
law has reduced the sherifr,s force to a
minimum and hedged the appointment of
specials around with SO much red tape that
Mr.. Dreger hesitates to appoint any There
seems to be no other way than for the
sheriff to get out and hustle himself and he
will probably do SO.

ITALIAN ART DISCOVERIES

{ Neville Rolfe, the British consul at
Naples, in his. report on the trade and
commerce of south Italy for 1901, says:
"The discovery Of the bronze statue OF
torchbearer near Pompeii, though made
some time ago, has not been noticed in
former reports because the government
held back the statue from public exhibit
tion for several months. It Is now ex-
hibited in the national museum and rep
resents a youth holding bracket for a
lamp. The bracket is in glass case near
the statue. The statue is what is known
as ''boy size," and appears to have been
coated with silver, which has in the main
persisted. A good deal of discussion has
arisen as to its period, but in all prob
ability it does not date back further than
the first century B. c. In the disused
monastery at Donna Regina, in the heart
OF Naples, which has now been placed
under the control of the municipality on
account of the splendid frescoes found
on the walls, a number of interesting pic.
lures and works Of art have been found
which were apparently slowed away there
about the time Of the taking of Naples
by Garibaldi in 1859. All those of historic
cal interest are to be removed to the mu-
scum of San MARITIME, where the Bourbon
relics and many interesting specimens
Of the arts Of Neapolitan provinces,
chiefly of the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries, are exhibited. Among the new
finds in modern pictures are: picture
of the Masaniello riots by Cammarano
| and the ENTRY Of Cardinal Ruffo" by
| Marinelli. Also very fine portrait of
| Garibaldi with a long autograph and the
! inscription icon amore filiale." There is
also a bronze statue of Ferdinand II. in
Roman dress, by Pietrarsa and plaster
cast Of Carlo Poerio, who, it will be re-
membered, was visited by the late Mr..
Gladstone when in the political prisons
of Naples In 184S. There are also pic

The average superstitous person who meets

from the top of a fifty foot pole on East Lake

1t Is peculiar fact, vouched for by Mr.
Graves that while cats generally have a pen

result Is that they stock to their lofty perches
and set up such caterwauling during the
dead hours OF the might that the neighbors
driven to desperation, telephone central tt
