ARREST TOWNSEND
TO TEST ORDINANCE
Law Requiring Automatic Elevator
Locks to Be Put to Trial.

In order that a test case might be
made of the validity of the ordinance
which provides that all passenger ele-
vators shall be equipped with auto
matte safety-locking devices, a war
rant was yesterday sworn out for the
arrest of John Townsend, manager Of
the Endicott building, and the ques-
ton will be determined by the courts
Mr.. Townsend was not taken into Gus
tody, as the suit is a friendly one, but
he will appear in police court Monday
morning, at which time the case will
be set for trial. The warrant was
sworn out by Building Inspector Ell
lerbe, who will prosecute the case.
The case is of vast Importance and
will be watched with much interest
by the proprietors of all large build
ings in which there are passenger ele-
vators. The ordinance provides that
every door on each elevators shall be
equipped with the new devices, which
means an expense of more than $50 for
each elevator door. Since there are
more than 800 passenger elevators in
the city, some of them with q dozen
or more doors, the aggregate expense
will run into thousands of dollars, and
the validity of the ordinance will be
fought by the people who are expected
to pay this money. Workmen are now
engaged in equipping the city hall ele-
VatorS with the required devices.

LOSES MONEY, MIND
AND HER LIFE
Mrs. Michael Riley Is Brought Back
Dead From Asylum.

Seven years of continuous misfortune
and suffering closed yesterday in the
burial of Mrs. Michael Riley from st.
Joseph's Catholic church. Mrs. Riley
died Tuesday at the Rochester asylum,
after two. days stay in that institu-
ton, of which her husband is also an
inmate.
In 1895 the SRileys were prosperous
grocers, conducting a store at Western
avenue and Carroll street. Their saw
ings of many years were carried, away
in the bank failures that followed the
panic. The loss preyed SO heavily on
Mrs Riley that her mind became I'M
balanced and for many months she
was confined to st. Josephs hospital
Soon after his wife's recovery RiIey's
reason gave way and for several years
he has been mentally affected. Mrs.
Riley supported herself and husband
up to few weeks ago, when Rileys
condition became so alarming that it
was found necessary tie commit him
to the Rochester asylum. gs
In less than two weeks Mrs. Riley
followed her husband to the Rochester
institution. Her reason had again fail
ed and friends of the family thought 1t
advisable to have her committed to en-
asylum where she would receive proper
treatment. q 'H
Two days after her commitment
Mrs. Riley died. Her husband, attend
ed by nurse, was present yesterday
at Mrs. Riley's funeral.

CONSTABLE GAINES
TAKES UP THE CARPET
Court Officer Has to Perform Part of
Family Man.

Constable Arthur Gaines yesterday
went to the home of Mrs. Samuel
Pearson, 609 Canada street, moved the
furniture out of one of the rooms and
then proceeded to take up the carpet,
which he carried away with him.
1t was with much difficulty that
Constable Caine secured possession of
the carpet, which had been replevined
by Miss Jennie Howard, who had for
merly occupied a room at the Pearson
home.
Mrs. Pearson says the carpet was
being held for a debt of $3.50, 81 Of
which was for board and 60 cents for
car fare expended by Mrs. Pearson in
visiting Miss Howard while the latter
was i'll at the city hospital Miss
Howard had furnished her own room
at the Pearson home, and when she
secured another place to live, she was
refused the carpet until all differences
were settled. She brought proceed
ings in Justice Hoff's court and re-
pleVined the carpet, which Is now in
the possession of the justice, pending
a hearing, which is set for next week.
Another similar case in which Con-
stable Gaines figured yesterday was
that of Mrs. Katie Renkin against
Alma Zeno, of 232 West Fifth street.
At the request of Mrs. Renkin, who
brought replevin proceedings, Consta-
BILE Gaines went to the Zeno home and
took possession of a couch and a lady's
straw hat, trimmed with artificial
cherries. Mrs. Renl1in boarded with
the Zeno family. and because she left
without giving thirty days notice, her
goods were held for board. The case
will be heard March 10.

SAYS SHE IS TIRED
DOING ALL THE WORK
Wife Declares Husband Will Not Work
and That He Is Jealous.

Mrs. Marie A. Cleveland, who con-
ducts a boarding house on Nina ave-
nue., yesterday commenced an action
for divorce in the district court, alleg-
ing against her husband as ground for
seeking separation cruel and inhuman
treatment and an indisposition to
work.
In her complaint, filed yesterday,
Mrs. Cleveland says she was married
to Charles F. Cleveland, Oct. %, 1890,
at which time the said Charles was
earning good money as a railroad
brakeman. He continued to work I'M
til two and half years ago, says Mrs.
Cleveland, but since then he has re-
fused to do anything in the manual
labor line, but has depended upon her
to support him and buy his clothing.
She did this with the proceeds of
her boarding house. but even with this
snap her husband refused to assist in
the small work about the house, and
this was more than the wife could
stand for. Mrs. Cleveland says her
husband not only refused to work, but
that his jealousy of her was of such
nature that her life was made misera=
bic, and, she says, when it reached a
point where she could not talk to her
boarders and other friends without her
husband becoming jealous and cursing
her, she decided it was time to quit,
and yesterday commenced an action
for divorce.

HAS HOPES HIS
TURN WILL COME
W. L. Mussell Tells His
Troubles Through Bars
of County Jail

Unable to secure the small bail re-
quired for his freedom, w. L. MusseIl,
Tor many years a leading member of
the Peoples church, and for four years
an usher at the church, now occupies
cell in the county Jail, charged by
j. J. Ahern, state agent of the Massa-
chusetts Mutual Life Insurance COM
pany, with the embezzlement of 1882
from the funds of the company, for
which Mussell, until recently, acted as
agent.
Mussell came to st. Paul from Madi-
son, S. D., and, pending suit which
ne mad instituted against his wife for
divorce, he was arrested some DAYS
ago, having been found occupying the
same room with Miss Lillian Hansen,
an eighteen-year- girl, whom he
is said to have induced to come here
from south Dakota for the purpose of
Keeping house for him. The charge
against him on this account was dis
missed at the request of the girls
rather, who came here and took the
girl back to her home, but no sooner
was he out of this trouble until he
was arrested upon the charge of en-
bezzlement. Mussell charges friends
or his wife, from whom he is now en-
deavoring TO secure a divorce, with be-
ing responsible for all of his trouble.
He PAGES his cell in the county Jail
and declares his innocence to all COM
ers. Among his visitors yesterday
was Rev. J. M. Fulton, of the Central
presbyterian church, Mussell having
been faithful attendant at the Cen
trail Presbyterian church since quitting
the Peoples church, a year ago. He
is said to have been very active in
everything pertaining to church mat
tiers and was leader in all of the
young peoples societies.
Right will prevail in the end" said
Mussel to a Clio b e representative
from behind the bars of his cell at the
jail yesterday afternoon
Ihere are no grounds whatever for
this charge" continued Mussell 1T
Is nothing but persecution, and my
wife's friends are behind it. But, l
VIII have my inning, and when l do
there will be some things exposed,
which will not be to the credit of some
OF the people who are pushing this
prosecution. Tt is true that l did use
small amount of money belonging to
the company, but 1t was because they
had refused to pay me my commission
on policy which amounted to many
times over the amount I appropriated.
l will be able to clear myself of the
charge when the matter comes I'D for
trial, and my enemies will see that
still have some friends. Two of nv
brothers in the East are ministers,
and have sent home for money with
which to defend myself / will fight
this charge to the end, and right will
prevail in the end"
Mussell received money from the
East last night, and has retained an
attorney to fight his case in the courts.
His preliminary hearing will be had
before Judge Finehout, in the munich
pal court, Monday afternoon, at which
time the charge, of empezzlement will
be changed to one of petty larceny,
provided Mussell desires to plead
guilty to the latter charge, which he
declared yesterday he would not do.

DEAD PIG is CAUSE
OF THIS LAW SUIT
r. L. Wills Alleges That Swift G. Co.'s
Negligence Caused Scalding.

Because a dressed hog fell on him
and precipitated him into a vat Of
boiling water which scalded him al
most to death, Frank L. Wills, for
merly a hog scraper in the employ of
Swift & Co., wants the company to pay
him the sum of $4,000.
He claims the injuries sustained by
him as a result of falling into the
boiling water are such that he is per-
manently impaired from performing
manual labor, and this, together with
the intense pain suffered, and the fact
that he was compelled TO remain in
the hospital five weeks, he considers
worth $4,000. Wills was employed in
the hog scraping department of Swift
d Co.'S plant at South st. Paul, and
alleges that the accident referred to
occurred Dec. Is, 1902, at which time
he was working in a room filled with
steam and poorly lighted. So cramped
was his position, says Wills, that he
was compelled to lean against one of
the dressed hogs which was hanging
near him, and when this hog fell it
pushed him over into the vat of boiling
water. Wills commenced his suit in the
district court yesterday.

OLSON HAS BUT
TWO WEEKS STAY
Judge McClenahan Modifies
His Order in Aitkin
Case.

Ole G. Olson, the Aitkin county farm
er sentenced to be hanged, might es-
cape the death penalty if Judge Nc
Clenahan's first order granting a stay
of execution for forty days remains
in force. In order to avoid this, Judge
McClenahan yesterday modified his or
der to meet the fourteen-day reprieve
given to the condemned man by Gov.
Van SAINT.
Many of Olson's friends thought that
the court had no right to modify its
order granting the stay of forty days,
but Attorney General Douglas when
interviewed last night, said that Judge
McClenahan has the right and power
to amend or modify his orders.
When Olson and his friends We're in
formed of the clash between the stay
granted by Judge McClenahan and
Gov. Van SAINTS reprieve, it is said
that they at once came to the con-
clusion that Olson could never be legal
ly executed.
If Sheriff Haugan should conduct the
execution before the time set in the
courts stay 1T would be in open viola
ton Of the law, while on the other
hand, if the hanging did not take place
on the day set by the governor, Olson
could not be executed, for to the state
he was legally dead before sunrise In
the morning Of the day when the gov
ernors reprieve expired. The states
authority, it was claimed, would cease
on the day for which the the date Of
execution had been set. No one butt
the governor can fix the date of ex-
ecution, so by the clash between the
stay of Judge McClenahan and the
governors Teprieve it was hoped to
save Olson from the gallows.
The consequences of the clash were
called to the attention of the authori-
ties and the judge Immediately modi-
fled his order to stay the execution
from forty to fourteen days. Now
Olson's attorney, it is said, will bring
legal proceedings to show that the
judge has no power to modify his first
order

DEMAND $4,000 FOR
DAUGHTERS FINGER
J. J. Gibbs Sues Great Northern for Al
legged Accident.

The sum of $4,000 is demanded Of
the Great Northern Railway company
by Frederick ]. Gibbs as compensation
for the loss of one finger by his six
teen-year- daughter, Helen, who
was injured while riding on a Great
Northern train between Minneapolis
and Lake Minnetonka, on the Fourth
Of July, last year. The Great Northern
couldn't see it's way clear to pay this
amount, so Gibbs began action in the
district court yesterday.
The complaint alleges that Helen
Gibbs was a passenger on a train Of
the defendant company, and, owing to
the crowded condition Of the coaches,
was compelled to ride on the platform;
that, when the train was nearing the
station Of Wayzata the girl was
thrown so that her hand caught be-
tween the cars and was crushed to
such an extent that amputation of the
middle finger was necessary. The acct
dent is said to have been caused by
the train giving a sudden lurch, and
the company Is charged with the re-
sponsibility.
