JOLTED HIS JAILER.
With Maniacal Strength, Charles
Taft Tears His Metal
Bed Apart.
He Attacks and Wounds His Jailer
With an Iron Bar Thus
Secured.

IAN eye and a tooth for a tooth"
muttered Charles Taft, an insane man
confined In the county Jail, as with
murderous intent he thrust an iron
bar thru the grating OF his cell into
the face of Assistant Jailer Joseph
Quinn. -
The deadly weapon struck the
jallor In the right eye, wounding him
seriously. He was taken in charge
by the jail attendants and removed
to his home, where he is suffering.

days. E
Taft was brought from Mile Laos
county yesterday afternoon and
lodged In the county jail pending his
removal to the asylum at Fergus
Falls. He became violent last evening
to such. an extent that no one dared
to go near the cell in which he Is
confined. He is powerful man
physically and while under one Of his
delusions he wrenched the posts from
the iron bed, breaking every bit Of
furniture within his reach. He APP
peared perfectly rational this morning
however, and was not considered
dangerous at the time. Tailor Quinn
went to serve him with his noon meal
and was rewarded with the blow.

Washington, Oct. 21.-Thomas I.
Kidd's report on the flour mill strike
at Minneapolis is in the hands Of Sam
uel Gompers, president of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor. President
Gompers returned from the west to-
day, but refused to discuss possibilities
and probabilities in connection with
the strike.
II am not informed on the Minneap-
oils strike,'' he said to-day. IT saw
Mr.. Kidd in Chicago, but did not dis
cuss the strike with him. He told me
he had investigated affairs In Mime
apolis and that his report had been
forwarded to Washington. It is among
my papers, but have not taken it up,
because there are other matters Of
equal importance to be attended to.
It will be taken UP in its turn, prob

Mr.. Gompers would not say any
thing as to his individual power to
extend relief to the strikers or order
q boycott, nor whether the strike
would be taken up by the executive
committee before the national conven-
ton is held in Boston next month.
