traverse the street. Some words en-
sued and Sparks grasped the bride of
the horse and attempted to turn it
around. He was struck in the face by
Nieman with the buggy whip and
knocked to the ground. Nieman drove
away and when Sparks got to his
feet he picked up the pick handle and
threw it at Nieman. The end of the
stick struck the boy on the head and
pierced his skull.
The boy fell unconscious in the bot
tom of the wagon, and his father rush
ed for Sparks, Selling him by the
throat. Deputy Sheriff Kroeger was
on his way to the court house and wit
messed the entire affair. He ran to-
wards Sparks to place him under ar
rest, but Nieman arrived ahead of him
and was about to do Sparks serious in
jury, when prevented by the officer.
Patrolman Thomas Calvin arrived
on the scene in time to assist in sep
arating the men, and placed Sparks
under arrest.
Father Mad With Rage.
Nieman was wild with rage over
the injury done his son, and Deputy
Sheriff Kroeger had to stand him off
at the point of his revolver to prevent
his attacking Sparks.
Sparks was arraigned in the police
court shortly after the occurrence
| charged with assault with dangerous
weapon. The case was continued in
order to allow time for the filing of a
complaint and to await the outcome
of the boys injuries.
The boy was taken to st. Joseph's
hospital in the hospital ambulance. DR..
Plonke made an examination of the
injuries and pronounced them of a

an even chance to live. Nieman went
to the hospital with his son and after
| he learned of the extent Of his injuries
| he visited the county Jail. He asked
the turnkey to be allowed to see
Sparks, and was permitted to do so, as
| the deputies did not know him. When
| he got to Sparks cell he made a rush
for him, but was unable to reach him.
1t took two deputies to drag him away
from the cell and eject him from the
! Jail. He went away threatening VEN
! geance.
The stories of Sparks and Nieman
over the blow with the buggy whip
which caused the negro to throw the
club differ. Nieman maintains that
he intended to strike the horse, and
that Sparks got in the way receiving
the blow on his face.
Sparks, on the other hand, claims
that after he turned the horses head
he went to the side of the wagon to
explain to Nieman that he could not
allow him to continue on Seventh
street, and that Nieman struck him
across the face, applying a vile epithet
at the same time. Sparks says that
he threw the pick handle at Nieman,
but the father lodged and the stick
nit his son. He prOfeSSed sorrow for
having injured the boy, stoutly main
tanning that it was unintentional.
Sparks lives OH the third floor at 563
Broadway. He is married and had two
| children. Sparks when arrested was
unable to give his age, but said he was
about fifteen years cid when the Civil
| war ended.

SHERIFF MUST MAKE
EFFORT TO COLLECT
County Attorneys Office Says DeIin
quent Taxes Can Be Gotten if
Gone After.

Assistant County Attorney O'Neill
yesterday forwarded to Sheriff Philip
Justus number of alias executions on
personal property tax judgments, and
with it sent a letter intimating that
the collections should be made, if there
was any such thing possible. The
proceeding is the outcome of the large
number of returns made by the sheriff
each year, where he reports that he
has been unable to collect on tax
judgments. The county commission
erS took the matter up and appealed
to the office of the county attorney,
with the result that the sheriff will be
compelled to collect on all personal
property, or seize it and offer it for
sale to secure the tax.
Attorney O'Neill, in the letter to
the Sheriff, says that he is ready and
anxious to cooperate with the Sher-
ifs office in any way possible in fore
ing the law-evaders to pay their just
taxes. The letter is as follows:
1t would seem from the business
and professional standing of the de-
Hnquents that these executions can be
collected by you if the same diligence
is pursued as is ordinarily used where
similar WritS run in favor of private
parties. Under our law there is no
property exempt from an execution is
sued on a judgment for personal tax
es (Section 1870 G. S. 1880, and You
therefore run no risk in levying upon
any personal property found in the
possession of the judgment debtor
Your attention is expressly called
to section 1871, General Statutes, 1894,
which provides if the sheriff of any
county shall refuse or neglect to coll
lect any tax assessed upon personal
property where the same is collectable
he shall be held liable for the whole
amount of such tax uncollected, and
the same shall be deducted from any
bill or bills presented by him and
allowed by the board of county COM
miSsioners.
"This Office is most DESTROYS of CO.
operating with you in every way in
our power to enforce the collection of
all delinquent taxes, and any assist
ance we can give you will be readily
furnished upon request"

Another attempt is to be made to
force the extension of the st. Paul
street car system to Phalen park. The
East End Local Improvement associa-
tons have taken the matter up and
their representatives in the council
have promised to help.
Last January a resolution compelling
the extension was introduced by Aid.
Holt and received passage in both
bodies. but it never received any rec
OgritiOn from the street car company
The ordinance under which it oper-
ates allows the company a year from
the date of the demand in which to
begin work, and also permits them to
ignore the request should the streets
over which the extension would have
TO pass, not be severed. The latter
condition unfortunately exists but this
imDediment will be removed by hay
ing sewers put in. Those behind the
movement say the extension must be
made, ana ii it is not, they will at least
compel the street car company to show
its hand so that the courts can be ap-
pealed to.
The opening of Phalen park is con-
sidared by the park board as abso-
lutelY necessary to relieve the pressure
on Como. Minneapolis is becoming a
heavy patron of the latter resort and
between the towns the accomnoda-
tiOns are unequal to the demands
Sunday the crush around the band
stand and pavilion was so great that
1T was dangerous. The street cars were
also unequal to the task of carrying
the people away to their homes. In
point of beauty Phalen park is consid-
cred the peer of any public park in the
Twin Cities. In it's present isolated
condition these beauties are denied
those who would be glad to enjoy
them. Residents of the East end, who
have been clamoring so long for the
extension of the tracks to the park,
say that if the people of st. Paul could
only see the magnificence of Phalen,
the problem of forcing the street car
company to build the extension would
be quickly solved.
1t is probable that at the next meet
ing of the board of aldermen steps will
be taken to see what has become of
the order passed by the two bodies last
January.

RELIEF SOCIETY IS
IN SPLENDID SHAPE
Quarterly Reports Show Liberal Do
nations, and Fewer AppIica-
tions for Aid.

The directors of the Relief society
held their quarterly meeting yesterday
afternoon, Gov. Ramsey presiding.
d. r. Noyes, the treasurer, made a
few remarks congratulating the soci-
ETY. upon the very satisfactory state of
the loaning fund. He pointed out that
though these little loans for the bene-
fit of those in distress had been made
now during a period of eleven years,
including the "hard- times" years, the
losses had been few and far between
and many Of the very poor had repaid
what had been advanced them.
The quarterly report of the secre-
tary, M. L. Hutchins, said showed a
gratifying state of affairs. He assert
ed that though there were only thirty
six less applications for aid than the
corresponding quarters last year, and
though the general conditions today
are better than then, that st.
Paul was large and growing city and
that therefor there were fewer appli-
cations in reality in proportion to the
present population.
The report shows that in the last
three months the society has sent out
"a men who earned $140.43 and LAO
WOMEN WHO nave earned Sl,S34.Z3,
making the total earnings during this
period $1,494.66, being over $500 more
than for the same period last year In
conclusion, the secretary said that the
present times are very favorable and
the outlook for the poor exceedingly
good.
That the social condition has i'm
proved is shown by the fact that there
is a decrease in the number of appli-
cations for relief The past quarter
there were only 401, while for the
same period last year there were 437
and 603 for the first quarter of this
year. OF these 95 were new cases.
The donations this year being very
LIBERAL the society was able to meet
the demands upon it more fully, and
the total amount of aid rendered
amounted to $887.09, an increase of
$95.22 over the same period last year.
The secretary was granted the usual
vacation of month, beginning July
"a. The matter of repairs on the build
ing was referred to the executive com
mittee with power to act, after which
the meeting adjourned,
/ There were present Gov. Ramsey, D.
r. Noyes, M. L. Hutchins, Hon. Green
leaf Clark, Rev. Richard Hall, Wesley
L. Jameson, F. r. Stoltze, John Wann
and DR.. e. H. Whitcomb.

The train ran off the track at Hay

SAYS HER PROPERTY WAS
ILLEGALLY DISPOSED OF
sheriff's Sale Said to Have Been Irregu-
larIy Made.

Annie E. Simonton has commenced a
ance company, Sheriff Philip Justus and
Deputy Sheriff Kraes on the ground that
her property was illegally sold to the in
surfance company by the sheriff. She
asks the court to set aside the sale and
return to her the property on the strength
of a previous sale.
The complaint alleges that the insur-
ance company held a mortgage on several
lots which she owned, and in default of
the payment of which they were sold at
auction by the sheriff She further al
leges that her agent was on hand at the
sale and bid in the lots, but that later
the agent of the insurance company ap-
peared at the sheriffs Office and said that
it had been impossible for him to attend
the sale, and Mt his request another sale
was held and the lots were sold to him.

No Paving Is Likely to Be Done This
Year.

The West Seventh street paving
controversy may yet result in Mayor
Smith refusing his signature to the
order calling for the use of sandstone
in paving the street between Ramsey
and Tuscarora. Tomorrow night
late will determine his decision in the
matter.
Yesterday afternoon a dozen or
more property owners called on the
mayor and made a formal demand
that he veto the order. The delegation
was headed by Frank Makovitch and
John Ellis, superintendent of the
Omaha shops, who said the statement
that the majority of the property own
ers desired sandstone was false. Both
contended that a petition signed by
over 100 property owners, signifying
their preference for asphalt, had been
given to Aid. Rohland, but in some
way it had never reached the council.
They also claimed that the petition for
sandstone was signed by many people
who did not own foot of property on
the street.
Commissioner Van Hoven and Aid.

terence, but took no part IN the con-

they could see, and as evidenced by

Up to Property Owners.

AS final solution of the difficulty
Mayor Smith informed the delegation
that if it would bring him a petition
signed by majority of the property
owners asking for asphalt he would
veto the order, otherwise he would
sign it.
He told them that asphalt was his
preference, but in this case his action
would have to be in accordance with
the wish of the majority of the prop
erty owners.
The mayor has until o'clock this
evening to sign the order, and he in
formed the delegation that he would
withhold his signature until that hour.
AS expressed at the start the out
look for the street being paved this
year is not promising. There is now
conflict between the paving compa-
MES and the property owners are di-
vided, and between the two delay will
result that will carry the improvement
over into next year.
