FOR LOSS OF HANDS
Fred WendIer Loses Suit Against Red
Wing Gas and Electric Company.

Judge Kelly. In the district court,
yesterday. directed a verdict for the
defendant in the $4,000 personal in
jury damage suit brought by Frank
Wendler against the Red Wing Gas
and Electric company.
The arguments for a directed YER
diet were commenced yesterday morn
ang and lasted the greater part of the
day, the motion being granted shortly
before the adjournment of court yes
terday evening.
The plaintiff was an employee of the
Red Wing Gas and Electric company
as night Waterman, and in changing
some switches one night had his hands
so badly burned by electricity that am
putation was necessary. He brought
suit. contending that the plugs were
not properly insulated.
The defendant took the position that
the plugs were properly insulated and
held that Wendler must have taken
hold of the rods below the parts which
were insulated. 1t was shown by tes-
timony that those rods, after the ac-
cident. bore traces of having been han
died. there being pieces of burned
flesh attached to them. The burns on
the defendants hands, also. 1t was
commended. bore the marks of the rods
showing that the defendant had not
caught hold of the plugs at the proper
place.
Judge Kelly urged the counsel to
argue every point of the case, and at
the conclusion of the arguments grant
ed the motion of the defendant for a
directed verdict.

CITY And COUNTY
CLASH OVER BILLS
Each Refuses to Pay the Board
of the Others
Prisoners.

There Is trouble on between the
county and city governments owing to
the refusal of the county to pay the
bills presented by the custodian of the
workhouse for the board of county
prisoners who have been sent to that
institution. Heretofore the county has
paid the bills without protest, but
County Attorney Kane has refused to
sanction the payment of those bills on
the ground that the city has refused to
settle for the board of city prisoners
who have been sent to the county jail
for safe keeping. ,a,r,ssa5, Asr
William Pitt Murray, member of the
workhouse board, called upon County
Attorney Kane yesterday to learn why
the county had not paid its bills for the
keep of county prisoners at the city
workhouse.
County Attorney Kane replied that
the bills had been turned down because
the county had no intention of paying
them unless the city showed some in
clination to settle for the board of city
prisoners confined in the county jail.
'"The county has been accustomed to
pay the board bill of county prisoners
at the workhouse," said County Attor-
ney Kane, "but the city has not been
willing to reeiprocate by paying the
bills presented by the county for the
board of city prisoners at the county
Jail. Why should the county continue
to pay when the acity declines to pay a
similar bill?"
Later in the day Custodian FItzger-
aid. of the workhouse, appeared at the
county attorneys Office to protest that
the county bill had not been paid. and
when told the reason, intimated that
hereafter the county's prisoners might
not be accepted at the workhouse.
Mr.. Kane informed Mr.. Fitzgerald
that the workhouse would continue to
receive the county's prisoners so long
as they were sent there, explaining to
him that the law required him to re-
ceive them in any event.
AS result of the refusal of the
county attorney to allow the bills of
the workhouse. considerable feeling has
been worked up between the county
and city governments, and it is prob
able the matter will be carried into the
courts
