nand Walser, the priest who has been
held since last Saturday for the muir

a plea OF not guilty. Prosecuting
Attorney Stroup, in addressing the
court said:

Gent to hold the defendant. The ac-
tion taken on the part Of the officers
in arresting Father Walser has been
in accordance with their duty. A
terrible crime had been committed,
and if the suspicion OF guilt had been
placed against any other person, l
can assure you he would have been
treated az the defendant has"

to congratulate the freed priest ON

FEAR OF KNIFE
CAUSES SUICIDE
l. HI. ANDERSON PREFERRED
DEATH TO AN OPERATION.
He Was Alarmed About His Condi-
ton and Was to Have Submitted to
an Operation To-day-His Friends
in Michigan Will Be Notified.

A. II. Anderson. a working man
from Waverly, Mich, committed sui
eide in a clearinghouse at 1905 Wash
ington avenue s by shooting himself
thru the right temple with revolver
this morning. The cause for the deed
is supposed to be the fact that he was
and was to have had an operation
performed this forenoon.
Roomers in the house heard shot
ct about 8 o'clock and waking up the
proprietor they went to Anderson's
room and found him lying In. a pool Of
blood. "A s38-caliber revolver was ly-
ing with the point toward him on q
chair by his side. The man had evil
IDENTIFY just risen from bed, as he was
in his stocking. feet and his coat was
lying on the bed.
Anderson came to the city about a
week ago and has been rooming at
different houses except the last two
nights when he stayed with two men
at 1105 Washington avenue S. His
roommates, Axel Sjowald and Chris
Peterson, know nothing of the man
except that he intended to go to work
in the mills after he recovered from
his operation. The two men left
Anderson in bed shortly before
o'clock and apparently he was in good
spirits and suffering very little from
his disease.
The authorities will communicate
with the officials at Waverly, Mich,
where the man is supposed to have
| lived, in an endeavor to find his rela-
| ttves.

SAY SHERIFF IS A THUG
Citizens of Clearwater County Have
Filed Charges of Brutality Against
Sheriff Torkelson.

Charges were preferred before Cow
ernor Van SAINT against Swan Torkel-
son, sheriff of the new county of Clear
water. They are brought by Benja-
min B. Brown of Bagley and A. l..
Gordon of Shevlin, who allege that the
sheriff is ''lawless, Incorporate,
Violent and immoral character that
he has arrested persons without cause,
and has maltreated and insulted pris-
oners.
The compliments say that On Nov.
81 the sheriff and his brother, j. w.
Torkelson, a justice of the peace, as
saulted James Barnes and two BROTH
ers, named Holt, in saloon, and la-
ter arrested them, with unnecessary
force and abuse; that the three were
| left in a lookup without fire till citi-
zens demanded their removal; and
that when met by a party Of citizens
| Torkelson discharged his revolver at
! them, narrowly missing one. In the
| presence of a physician called to bind
! up the wounds of the prisoners, the
sheriff assaulted one of them while
manacled, beat him; cruelty and pulled
his nose.
| Under the law the governor may
appoint a commission to take testi-
mony and report, and if this testi-
mony verifies the charges he may re-
move the sheriff from office.

.BRAARUD DIES;
MAY BE MURDER
He Was the Man Mysteriously In
jured in the Mill Dis
trict.
Story Of Missing Stranger Raises
Question as to His
Injury.

Brents Braarud, living near Bemidji
died at the city hospital this morning
from mysterious wounds and it is pos
s1ble. that an investigation will prove
that the man was murdered. Braarud
was picked up by the officers in the
milling district about two weeks ago
and taken to the hospital in the patrol
wagon. He was completely un-
conscious when he was found and had
severe bruises about the head which
would indicate that he had been
slugged. He remained unconscious at
the hospital until the time Of his death
word from him regarding his injuries.
Braarud was found In the milling
yards Nov. Fl. Two days prior to
that time he had appeared in police
court as complainant against Anton
Mohn, charged with stealing an over
coat from Braarud in q. lodging-h
Mohn was sent to the workhouse, and
altho no blame can be charged to him.
the crowd that stayed at the lodging
house that night was known to be a
rough one and antagonistic ia
Braarud. It is quite possible that
some member Of that gang waylaid
Braarud as he was going to work In
the mills, and after some alteration
the man engaged In a quarrel with
some millers who were out Of employ
ment and was assaulted.
| On the night the injured man was
found, man told the officers thai
Braarud had fallen on his back anc
| struck his head on the ground with
great force. This man has not beer
seen since and If he can be found hi:
story may clear up the mystery.

FLAT JEWELLERS
PREPARE TO MOVE
NEW DAM WILL FLOOD PRESENT
4 HOMES UNDER BRIDGE.
Thriftiness OF the People in that
District Shown by the Large Pur-
chases by Them of New Home Sites
son the East Side.

Bohemian flats will be covered fif-
teen feet deep by the backwater Of the
river when it Is damned at Meeker
island by the government engineers.
Already, warned by the approaching
completion of the locks, the inhab-
itants of the most picturesque place
In the city are preparing to move bodi-
ly next spring to the East Side,. directly
across the river.
These fiat people are thrifty and also
far-sighted. They have the money to
buy homes and in the spring a regu-
lar white roof town will spring into
existence about the Minneapolis
Academy building. Thorpe Brothers,
Messrs. F. M. .Durgin, Stone, and other
real estate men have been selling
property actively in the neighborhood
Of Harvard, Walnut and Delaware
streets between the boulevard and the
interurban line. One contractor alone
will build on order thirty houses, and
other builders will be busy.
The thriftiness of the fiat jewellers is
shown by the fact that they are able
| to. buy and are buying such high
priced property, comparatively speak
| Ing, when many other locations are
available at less money.

BROOKS FRIENDS

WANT HIM CONSIDERED FOR

Supporters of Judge Elliott and Judge

I Argue That a Democrat Cannot Be
Considered for appointment to
Supreme Bench.

The prospective resignation from
the supreme bench of Judge Collins
and the appointment Of his successor
by Governor S. r. Van SAINT is causing
much discussion about the courthouse.
There have been several conferences
B. Elliott and those of Judge D. F.
Simpson, both Of the district bench, and
both believed to be willing to accept
the appointment to the higher court.
There is considerable feeling evinced,
and altho Judge Elliott has been
longer in the field and is thought to
have the best chance, the Simpson
contingent is especially active to-day
and every influence is being brought to
bear upon. the powers that be to Sc
cure their mans appointment. Pres
ent odds seem to slightly favor Judge
Elliott with the Judge Simpson
strength growing rapidly.
A number Of prominent democratic
attorneys have been active this morn
Ing in an endeavor to have a meeting
of the Minneapolis Bar association
called for the purpose Of indorsine
Judge r. c. Brooks. This plan does
| not meet with much favor and will
probably fall thru. Judge Brooks Il
