Brutal Treatment of a Woman.

Monday morning about o'clock at Williams Navajo Indian entered the house of one of the demi-monde of that place and choked her to insensibility. She was alone in the house and in her night dress. After choking the woman until she was unconscious the Indian dragged her to the railroad track, about 400 feet, and placed her under car, where she remained unconscious until [ o'clock in the morning, when she was discovered by some railroad em- ployes and was restored to consciOus- ness by physician. The woman was naked and bruised from head to foot. She does not remember anything after the Indian choked her.
 The Indian was arrested at. McClel- Ian on Thursday, and was examined be- fore the justice of the peace at Will Hams yesterday and was held to appear before the next grand jury. He is now in the county jail.
 The recovery of the unfortunate woman is yet doubtful, and it is evil dent that the brute beat her with a club, and left her to be run over by a train or die from exposure.

HELD ON TO BRIGGS
aYou Don't Catch Me Again" Says
Supt. Mcdonald.
COURT ORDER FINALLY MADE
The Grand Jury Requires the Pris-
Oner's Attendance in the Work.

''Well, they gave me the first degree
this morning. said AL r. Mcdonald, su-
perintendent of the workhouse as he came
out of the grand jury room flushed and
excited, and 1suppose that will get the
second degree this afternoon. !" az
This may not be so serious, but several
people about the courthouse are predicting
that the board of charities and correction
will give the superint the third de-
gree which may prove a serious matter.
The grand jury is Investigating the
workhouse thoroughly and has required
the attendance of Farmer "Jim'' Smith,
Guard Mccarthy and other Worl1house Of
f1cials.
Deputy Coroner John Wall did not get
Fred Briggs, the star prisoner when he
went after him. Briggs was willing to
obey the summons, but Superintendent
Mcdonald, since his little court diversion,
can't read anything except Judge OF the
district court and orders without those
words need never go to the Workhouse.
Wall had to report this morning why
Briggs was not present 1t was agreed
that Mcdonald was right. So Foreman
Robinson made an affidavit that the pres
ence of Fred Briggs was important, but
that he was restrained in the workhouse.
Judge Pond signed the order directing
Superintendent Mcdonald to produce
Briggs.

KINDS OF BIDS COPPER NEAR 500
One to the County and One to Pri-
waite individuals.
PLUMBERS SAY PLANS VAGUE
The Taxpayers League, Deprived OF
This Evidence, Loses the
Wilkins Appeal.

Charles Wilkins & Co., scored on the
Taxpayers league in Judge @Harrison's
court yesterday. After hearing the evil
dence In the appeal against the company's
Dill for plumbing work at the county poor
farm. the court ordered Judgment in flavor
OF Wilkins & Co, for IS, 842.l7. This is
almost $500 more than the company's
original bid and about $500, in excess of
! the amount finally agreed upon between
Mr.. Wilkins and the county commission
ers The court decided the question on
the basis CT the reasonable value Of the
work done and the goods furnished.
There We're originally nine@bids OF which
! Charles Wilkins Coo. was the lowest at
$3.50. The county commissioners in
duced him to lower the bid to about So, 200
and gave him the contract. The taxpayers
league regarded even this price as ex-
cessiye. With the county commissioners
specifications in hand they called on sew
eral st. Paul plumbing firms and got
from two Of them bids much lower than
the Wilkins contract price, as follows:
| Allan Black & CO., 81, 1856; M. J. O'Neill
$l,S93.i Courtney & Johnson of Mlnneap-
| oils submitted bid of $3.50. In none of
these cases did the bidders know that the
work bid on was located at the county poor
| farm. H. -.
Allen Black & Co.,, and Courtney &
Johnson were among the original bidders
At that time they named prices to the
county of s4,3S3 and .s3,s $50 respectively.
| The specifications were the same in each
case.
All three of the above bidders were
subpoenaed as witnesses for the league
at the hearing before Judge Harrison,
but in court they refused to stand by the
| figures made to the league and testified
| to the reasonableness of the price made
by the Wilkins company. In fact, they
estimated the work to be worth about
! $500 more than the contract price. They
explained the disparity between their tes-
! t1mony and their bid as submitted to the
! league by the fact that the latter bids
| We're not based on full knowledge of the
situation. Many essential details in the
plans were omitted, they said, and in
vostigation of the conditions made their
bids to the league absolutely valueless.
The actual work presented many difficult
ties and called for considerable more ma
terial than was shown in the specifica-
lions. Their original bids to the county
| were made on actual measurements OF the
job, they explained The bids made to
the league were not admitted in evidence
on this account. 80

AID FOR CHAS. LAFFlN
And Treatment at Pasteur Institute
Many Show Sympathy in Sub
stantial Manner.

Charles Latin, the young North Mime
apolis boy who was bitten by mad dog
more than two weeks ago, left for chi
cago last night for treatment In the
Pasteur institute. The. generous hearted
Minneapolis public, ever quick to respond
in cases of distress. will furnish the
money to meet the expenses.
The Journal led off with an offer
of transportation to Chicago for the boy
and an attendant. The Bintlif Manu-
featuring company sent in check early
and inquiries as to where to send money
were numerous. Health Commissioner
Hall headed subscription list and then
sent it down to the Chamber of Commerce,
and the big hearted fellows there did the
rest. Another list went the rounds OF
the city hall. Others took the boy to a
clothing store and fitted him out with new
clothes. f.
1t will take not less than $500 to pay
the necessary expenses in Chicago. The
chances for cure are not SO good as II
the boy had left right after being bitten.
But the medical men insist that he has a

his employment to accompany his boy to
Chicago and the mother is encountered

Board of Corrections and Charities
Decides Upon Important Re-
form Measure.

The board Of corrections and charities
put it's promised measures for reform in
the purchase of supplies at the city hos
pital in effect Thursday by voting to en-
ploy a pharmacist to take charge of the
hospital drug department. He is to make
all purchases and dispense supplies only
on the requisition of the city physician
and his assistants. The city physician
may pass upon the character and quality
Of the drugs wanted, but will have no
hand In their purchase. The pharmacist
will also act in the capacity of store
keeper, while the present storekeeper will
take charge Of the telephone.
City Physician Nelson does not like the
plan at all, and it is possible that he
will insist upon the privilege of select
ing the pharmacist himself. The present
arrangement calls for selection by the
two physicians of the board, Mayor Ames
and Commissioner Woodland.

OH, LISTEN TO THE BAND
BURDEN OF II. PEW's REMARKS
He Was Once Reporter In Mime
apolis, but for Years Has
Been With the Bands.

Howard Pew, once we'll known Min
neapolitan, but for seventeen years or so
a band imDresario, drifted into town to-
day to renew old acquaintance and Incl
dentally let it be known how good times
and His Band who come, to the Lyceum
for three concerts next Friday and Sat
urday, are at music making. Said he:
minneapolis is the only city in Amer
lea that makes mo feel homesick. Al
though the changes are SO many since I
roamed the streets here as reporter, I
cannot get away from the feeling that I
belong here. Everybody seems to wear
a satisfied look now, and there is only one
story that this tells-prosperity Not
only in business. but in music as we'll,
there is an evidence Of high standing here.
Almost everybody knows that l am con-
nected with some good hand. and this
time it is with Mr.. Innes and his band.
Where in former years people wanted to
know something about the band, now al
most everybody I meet asks what will be
on the program here. People want to
hear good music. and of course want to
hear it we'll played. Many years ago the
celebrated Gilmore came uD here and
played for the late David Blakeley, and
the music was then revelation to us all
It fascinated me so much that since that
time, about 1885, have done nothing but
work with big tards and crchestras.
- MI. lnneS is not a stranger mere, as ne
will be remembered for the splendid con-
certs he gave with his band during the
exposition some years ago. He has not
been heard here recently, but as he was
So splendid then. the natural improve
ment of years of constant work In the
same direction must be an assurance that
his great band of to-day is most remark
able and entertaining.
! II see that YOU are to have conven-
ton hall in st. Paul and probably one
also in Minneapolis. This is good news
to all Interested in large travelling at
fractions, and will perhaps allow you &C
have regular musical festivals of mag
nftude think the musical taste Of
Minneapolis Is now ready to sustain an
enterprise of this kind. Then. in large
hall of this kind, the prices can be made
lower so the public can all get the ad-
vantage, while at present no doubt many
are shut out by the prices which have to
be adhered to in order that the house may
hold enough to pay the expenses. In the
great convention hall at Kansas City
where Mr.. 1nnes played to some 10, 00(
people, the prices could, OF course, be less
than in the small theaters where the room
is so limited. A great band like this has
to get great deal of money to pay sala-
ries, railroad fares. etc. and although
this band does not charge really high
prices, It may seem a little up from what
It costs to 20 to some city park In the
summer and hear such music as is fur
nished theirs.

COMA was contaminated this morning
when Frank Perry, a millionaire lumber
man Of this city, paid 100000 to Fred R.
Price, OF the 500 for his holdings in the

The discovery Of copper on the property
was made by an Indian fifteen years ago.

for It's exploitation year ago. Such good
results were. obtained that $50 acres were
purchased and about $4,000 spent in de-
yelopment.
In the opinion of experts the mine will
prove one of the largest copper producers

from the 500 and within three miles of the
Algoma Central railway, now built. Ship

STATE CLOSES
Writ Wilson, Assistant County At
Fl torney States Last Witness.


Writ Wilson, an assistant county attor-
ney, concluded the testimony for the state
in the Johnson murder trial yesterday aft
ernoon. Having accompanied Assistant
County Att orney Al j. Smith to the city
hospital, he was present when DR.. Henry
S. Nelson informed Claus w. Carlson,
whom Johnson had stabbed, that his end
was near and that the authorities wished
to secure statement from him. Carlson
then said that he did not know the man
who cut him that he had had no quarrel
with him or with any one else in the room
that afternoon.
Manley l.. Fosseen who opened for the
defense said that it would be shown that
Carlsons wound had been received in a
drunken fracas in which the incidents
were so confused that none could tell what
had happened or who had done the deed.
If Johnson had done the deed it had been
in self-defnse. 1t would, moreover, be
shown that Carlson was a quarrelsome
fellow, usually looking for a fight, also
that he was a habitual user of intoxicat
ing liquors. 1t would be shown also that
death was due to pneumonia caused in
large measure by excessive drinking. The
first witness for the defense DR.. Blake of
the city hospital simply testified as to
the hospital record.

SAY IT WAS PNEUMONIA
THAT KILLED CLAUS w. CARLSON
John JOhnsOn's Attorneys Trying
Hard to Build Defense on
That Line.

The attorneys for John Johnson,
charged with the murder of Claus W.
Carlson, contend that Carlson had pneu-
monia Deputy Coroner Murphy told DR..
J. P. Barber so, SO the doctor testified
this morning. Dr. Murphy himself vol
unteered to correct his testimony to the
effect that he had told his brother practi-
toner that Carlson had had double pneu-
monia. He still maintained that death
was due to septicaemia and the knife
wound.
Johnson's attorneys had the two city
hospital internes, James Blake and Stir
ling Olsen on the stand to give evidence
regarding the respiration. Both ad-
mitted that it had been hurried and the
defense contends that had the record been
complete it would have shown that Carl
son had pneumonia.
Evidence was later adduced to show
that Johnson was very drunk on the day
of the stabbing ARRAY. This was the tes-
timony of Thomas w. Sullivan and John
Gallagher. a.. r.
