Her LOVE PROOF {.
AGAINST BLOWS
Woman Beaten and Nearly.
Frozen Pleads for
Husband.

Attired in only a thin wrapper, and
with a shawl for a head covering, Mrs.
Peter JeruSel escaped from her huS-
band at their little home on the 1evee
on the West side at an early hour
yesterday morning and walked more
than a half mile to Concord street,
where she told Officer Helner her trou-
bles and asked him to arrest her hus-
band before he killed someone. The
woman had walked this distance
through the snow barefooted, and the
thin house wrapper which she wore
was poor protection against the chilly
winds. When she finally reached an
officer she was almost exhausted and
the blood, which was trickling down
her face from a. wound on the fore
head, almost blinded the woman. Mrs.
Jerusel told the officer that her hus-
band had come home drunk and had
tried to kill her with a knife, after
knocking her down and kicking her
almost into insensibility. Officer Hell
mer hastened to the Jerusel home,
where he found Jepusel sitting on a
chair in a drunken stupor.
Mrs. JeruseI testified against her
husband in court yesterday, but when
Judge Hine sentenced the man to sixty
days in the workhouse, the wife weak
ened and she appealed to the court
to allow him to 60,
Judge Hine, however, thought the
woman would be better off without
her husband, and refused to discharge
the prisoner.
The woman's face still showed the
results of the assault, but regardless
of this she waited until Jerusel was
placed in the BLACK Maria" and had
started to the Workhouse. Then she
wiped a tear from her eye and, pick
ing up her little boy, left the court.

HAVE THEIR EYES
ON COURT HOUSE
Beltrami- Fathers May Be
Disappointed by Gov
ernor's Action.

Gov. Van SAINT has appointed a COM
mission, consisting of DR.. Wilson, of
Red Lake Falls; Mayor Hitchcock, of
Crookston, and Senator Grindeland, of
Warren, to appraise the buildings own
ed by Beltrami county.
The governor took this action on the
request of the board of county COM
missioners of Clearwater county, which
was recently created and organized by
a proclamation issued by the chief eX-
ecutive of the state.
The communication from the county
board of Clearwater stated that imme-
diate action was desired, as the COM
missioners were reliably informed that
the county commissioners of Beltrami
county were about to sell the old court
house and other buildings belonging to
the county with the intention of pre-
venting their value from being de-
Quoted from the total Indebtedness of
Beltrami county. If this was done, the
commissioners of the new county
claim, much would be lost or secured
only after a long and tedious litiga-
tion.
The commission appointed by the
governor is to appraise the present
value of buildings owned by Beltrami
county at Bemidji and the value of the
same is to be deducted from the pres
ent Indebtedness of Beltrami' county
and the remainder of the Indebtedness
apportioned between Beltrami and
Clearwater counties.

MAY. ESTABLISH
PUBLIC SCALES
Gouncilmen Are Considering
Measure to Prevent
Short Weights.

An official city weigher and the COM
pulsory weighing and measurement of
all coal, hay, wood and produce at
central point or points, is piece Of leg
islation that is now engrosSing the at
tention of some of the city solons.
Complaints of short weight, especial
1y in the matter of coal, have been so
numerous of late that some ef the
members Of the council have gone so
far as to look. up the law on the ques-
tion, and have a rough draft of the
measure proposed prepared. With coal
at $40 a ton,z a few pounds short on
the purchase means quite a loss, and
this is mainly the cause of the COM
plants. ia&
The only control the city has over
the weights and measures now in use
is their annual inspection by the city
market master. His seal is to be found
on all of them, but beyond that his au-
thority does not go.
When a purchase of a ton of coal is
made, the purchaser has nothing be-
yond the mere word and reputation
of the seller that it contains what the
law demands 900 pounds. Hay, and
in fact everything else sold in bulk,
is accepted by the purchaser under the
same conditions.
/ There is some question as to the po-
lice powers of the city to compel the
use of a public scale, but it is said
there is nothing to prevent the pur-
chaser requesting that the seal of the
city, in the shape of a weigh blank,
accompany the load when it is deliv-
cred.
Under permits issued by the city
there are at least dozen scales that
occupy the streets of the city, and
some of the members of the council
propose their abolishment and the es-
tablishment of at least three standard
scales at points convenient to the in
terests involved. The claim is made
that the revenue that would accrue
from these scales would more than pay
for their maintenance.
A public scale is maintained at the
city market, but owing to the fact that
the use of it is not compulsory, it is
little used except by the marketmen.
Not a few, however, demand that their
purchases be'.weighed upon it.
The coal companies, it is said, favor
public scales, and will patroniZe them
if established. Representatives of two
of the local companies recently visited
the legal department and discussed the
question with one of the attorneys.
st. Paul at one time had city
weigher, and Mayor Smith says that
few purchases in bulk were made with
out the eity's attest attached to the
weight, as few would buy unless city
weight was given. The office was abol-
ished some. years ago.
