FREAK OF TAXATION IA \
A Good House Near Lake Harriet
r.. g. Has Never Been AS
# ~ sessed. s~
Changes in Plats Made Its Site
Part of a Street.

To live in an ,untaxed house is a
luxury enjoyed by j. Arthur Rldgway
Of the park board. This enjoyment
has not been long drawn out, as Mr..
Ridgway has just bought the house.
The immunity will not be long con-
tnued, as things have happened which
will permit the assessor to do what he
has not been able to do for years
tax the property.
When Mr.. Ridgway bought the
house he could not understand the
fresh-lOOking appearance of the place
as compared with the worn look of
It's neighbors, which had been carry
ing municipal burdens for years. Nor
could he comprehend the sly refer
ences to the fact that he did not pay
taxes. rs > a.5iN rss&in54t. tr .sh
1t was found that remarkable
comedy Of errors had been woven in
it has been practically a house with
out any legal standing. This condi-
ton arises from the fact that the plat
OF this part Of the city has been
changed so often that the map shows
a worn spot. Altho the plat has been
shifted about several times under the
house, it's foundations are uninjured.
Part Of the time it's site has been in
the street and part Of the time it has
been on lot. Under the former com
dition it could not be taxed. Houses
cannot be taxed apart from real estate
except, possibly, as personal property.
Originally the house was supposed
TO be in the fourth division of the
Remington Park addition. Eastern
holders paid taxes on it for long
time, but, protesting that vacant lots
were assessed too high in Minneapolis,
it was found that they were paying
taxes on the house, which, instead Of
being on either lot, was standing In
Vermont place. q
Sometime later Lyndale Park addi-
|tion was passed thru the council. This
addition is found on the plat books,
showing the housefto be on lot Z, block
lis, but legally it had no standing, as
the plat never was fled.
Not long ago the David c. Bell In
vestment company bought the land
and replatted 1t as Lynnhurst addition.
This totally changes the map and To-
Gates the famous elusive dwelling on
Hot 13, block 2.

BADLY CUT WITH RAZOR
Charles Leyman, Carved by Bert
Clark, sewed Up by H.
-. Surgeons. III

With sixty-three stitches in his face
and head and suffering from weakness
from loss of blood, Charles Leyman,
500 Plymouth avenue, is lying at his
home in g. precarious condition. Bert
Clark, his assailant, is locked up at the
central police station, charged with
assault with a dangerous weapon,
and will have his trial as soon as Ley
man is able to appear in court.
The cutting ARRAY, which came near
ending fatally, occurred at Leyrnan' s
house last night. Clark claims that
Leyman was paying attentions to his
girl and for that reason he and the
girl had trouble. Leyman heard
Clark abusing the girl and interfered,
when Clark drew a razor and at
tackled him.
Leyman received a 4-inch cut over
the left eye, another Of about the same
size below the eye, his nose was split
from it's base to it's tip, a long, deep
cash on the chin was received, while
there were one or two bad cuts in the
abdomen. After the cutting had been
done, which is said to have been
stopped only by the breaking of
Clark's razor, Leynan grabbed cover
from the stove and knocked his as
sailant down. w.. ...ts..4,.
Patrolman Philip Cohen, whose
beat is near the Leyman residence,
was summoned and he hurried Ley
man to the city hospital, where the
surgeons took sixty-three stitches in
Leyman's wounds. He was very weak
from the loss of blood, but it. is
thought that he will recover if no COM
p1ications develop.
Clark, who says his true name is
Hemrack, is half-breed Indian and is
employed as an advertising solicitor,
engaged in printing programs. He
admits doing the cutting, but says that
it was done in self-defense to keep
Leyman, who weighs 100 pounds more
than he, from giving him a severe
beating.

RIGHT TO LOVE THE GIRL
NEGROES FIGHT DUEL AT FAIR
GROUNDS AND ONE WILL DIE.
Leo Freeman WINS shot by George
Buckner After n QuarreI-His
Condition Is Serious.

Jealousy over the right to pay attentions
to Lizzie Grigsby, a young colored girl, LED
George Buckner to shoot Leo Freeman,
of 37 Prairie avenue. last night near the
fair grounds. Freeman and Buckner were
both in love with the Grigsby woman, 1t
is said, and last night they had an argu-
ment over who had the best right to be
her sutton, and the shooting followed.
Both men were armed, but Buckner was
first TO use his revolver, and shot twice
at Freeman before the latter could draw
his weapon from his pocket. One of the
bullets struck Freeman in the heart, and
the wound will cause his death, it is be-
lieved. Drs. Jeffries. Cunningham and
Seaton, OF the City Dispensary, were soon
on the scene. and hurried the injured negro
to the City Hospital in the ambulance, but
there Is little hope for his recovery.
Buckner, on seeing the result of his
wrath, made his escape, and up TO an early
hour this morning had not been located by
the police. Captain Hyland, OF the police
department., and Captain Gerber, of the de-
tectives, with a number OF men, were at
once at work looking for Buckner, but 1T
is thought he succeeded in reaching the
railroad yards and left the city on a pass
ing train.

AN INDIAN SUMMER DAY
GREAT CROWD OF SHOPPERS EN-
JOYED BEAUTIFUL WEATHER.
First Saturday Afternoon for Many
Weeks That Downtown Stores
Were Kept Open.

Neither too cool nor too warm, yester-
day was a typical Indian summer day. A
great many of the state fair visitors had
gone home, but the streets were crowded
with people. Yesterday was the first Sat-
urday that the large stores have kept open
in the afternoon during the summer, ard
they did a big business. Although not I'M
comfortable, it became hot enough during
the middle Of the day to convince people
that winter is still some distance away and
that the past touch of GOODNESS was just a
forerunner, a little out of season.
There was no frost to speak Of Friday
night-in fact 1t was only those who got
up very early that distinguished signs of it
at all. Reports nave now been received
from all parts of the State, and they all
show that the damage done by the frost
will not cause any loss to the farmers.
State. Statistician Johnson has had word
from almost every county in the State, and
no heavy losses are reported. He says the
corn hardly showed the effects of the frost
Of Thursday night, while the tomatoes,
aside from vines whitening, show no signs
of damage.
The forecast for to-day is fair, with rising
temperature. Frost is not apprehended for
some time, as the weather bureau predicts
much more warm weather before winter.
Following Is the temperature yesterday:
