SADDLE HORSE GUARDS
LADY AFTER THROWING HER
Mrs. G. Il. LiGhtner Lay Unconscious
With Horse Standing Quietly by
Mt End of Perilous Ride.

Mrs. C, B. Lghtner of No. 1903 Dayton
street was thrown by her saddle horse
yesterday. and considers herself fortunate
to have escaped with slight injuries.
She has ridden the horse often and felt
that she was able to manage 1t. At the
corner of Grand and Easton avenues the
horse slipped and cast shoe. The lurch
forward caused Mrs. Lightner's foot to
come out Of the stirrup.
The horse started madly down Easton
avenue. The rider endeavored to rein him
In, but without brace for her foot, was
unable to make strong pull on the reins
She had to depend on her seat In the sad
die to maintain her balance.
On reaching the corner Of Garrison and
Easton avenue. after a wild gallop of six
blocks, the horse slipped on the wet street.
and this time unseated his plucky rider.
Mrs .Ligdtner struck the ground heavily
and sustained bruised shoulder and a
scalp wound. The horse turned as soon
as his rider had fallen. came back to her
and stood by her side
When assistance reached her Mrs.
Lghtner was lying unconscious In the
street with the horse apparently standing
guard.
Mrs. Lightner soon regained conscious
ness, and after her wounds. were dressed.
was taken to her home.

CAR DISMIsSES
BRUTAL GOVERNOR.
General Dragomiron's Violent Hand
ling of Crowds at KieR Brings
Prompt Humiliation.

Moscow, Nov. 12-General Dragomirof,
the retired Governor General Of Kieff, has
left here for his estates. the Car having
no further use for his services.
The circumstances of the summary dis
missal of General Dragomiroff have just
leaked out. They strikingly illustrate the
humanitarian ideas Of the Russian ruler.
Dragomiroff, who enjoyed unbounded
favor at court and was the most popular
man in the Russian Army, lost favor and
his office because he did not show modera-
ton in quelling the recent strike riots at
Kieff, which practically involved all the
working people Of the town.
Hearing that the strikers might cause a
repetition of the Kishenev scenes. Drag
omiroff called out the artillery and caused
n wholesale slaughter of the rioters. 1t is
said that several hundred Of them were
killed.
When the Car heard the fact he at once
dismissed Dragomiroff with the words:
'I cannot have that man at Kieff any
longer His hands are stained with human
blood"

WITHSTANDS SEVERE
CROSS-EXAMINATION
Acquitted of Making counterfeit Mon
ey, He Is Accused Of Carrying 1t.

The evidence in the second trial OF
Byron A. Frazier, alias Eugene A. Bry-
ant, charged with counterfeiting, was
completed in the federal court yeSter-
day afternoon. After the arguments of
the counsel the case will go to the jury
today.
Frazier is a veteran of the Civil war
and took the name OF Bryant when he
enlisted at the age of thirteen years,
owing to objections made by his par
entS to his entering the army at such
a tender age. He served year and
draws a pension. His trial last week
on a charge of making counterfeit
money resulted in verdict of not gull
ty. He is now being tried on charge
of having counterfeit money in his pos
session.
Bryant is the inventor of metallic
car box packing and explained the
presence of the materials found in the
counterfeiting plant by saying they
were necessary in the perfecting of
patents on which he was working 1t
was expected that Edward Brown, ar
rested with Frazier, would go on the
stand and testify against him, but he
was not called.
Brown, who was accorded a separate
trial, was found guilty of counterfeit
ing, but has not yet been sentenced. A
new trial will be asked in his case.

George 0. Ravenstine, Of Canton.
Ohio, who came to st. Paul yesterday
for the purpose of marrying Miss Clara
j. Christopher, of Winona, received a
severe shock when he applied for a
marriage license yesterday morning.
When the license clerk learned that
the young woman was from Winona
he informed the couple that there was
nothing doing in the way of a mar
riage license
The law of Minnesota requires that
the license be taken out in the county
IN which the woman lives" said the
clerk.
The young man looked disappointed,
and had started to leave the office
when the prospective bride saved the
day.
MY home isn't at Winona," she
said. THAT is where 1 used to live.
and where my parents live now, but
for long time I have been living at
Clear Lake, South Dakota. and that
is where my home is"
The applicants were willing to swear
that the legal residence of the young
woman was at Clear Lake and the Ii
cense was issued. The marriage cere-
mony was performed by Court Com
missioner Gallick yesterday afternoon.
Miss Christopher was formerly a
school teacher at Winona and Raven
slime met here while selling school
supplies. Their friendship, aided by
correspondence, ripened into love. and
resulted IN an engagement which terni-
mated In their marriage yesterday The
groom is now a successful young BUSH

SNOW IS PREDICTED
FOR ST. PAUL TODAY
Drop In Temperature Is General
Throughout Northwest.

The advance guard Of snow storm
that is promised for ST. Paul today
made its appearance last night, but
the fall was so small as to be hardly
perceptible. Today Weather Observer
Oliver says, should see it in abund-
ance
The promised drop in the tempera-
ture arrived yesterday, but it did not
cause any discomfort. The drop
ranged all the way from Is to 20 de-
grees and was general throughout the
Northwest. The coolest point was re-
ported at Williston, N. D., where the
thermometer registered 4 below. Rain
was reported in Iowa and copious
showers all along the gulf section.
Heavy snow storms are raging in the
West.
One feature of the late warm spell
is the number of colds and sore threats
that resulted. Physicians say the num-
Der reported is unprecedented, while
favorite cough and throat medicines
were sold in large lots. The trouble as
q rule is simply temporary, being soon
relieved.

PROTEST AGAINST
PAVING ASSESSMENT
Payne Avenue Property Owners Crowd
Court Room, at Trial.

The Payne avenue assessment case"
is on trial before Judge Jaggard, and
his court room was crowded ali day
yesterday by people owning property
along that thoroughfare The suit
grows out Of the application Of the city
treasurer for judgment On delinquent
assessments for the paving Of Payne
avenue with asphalt and sandstone. '.7t
The avenue was paved from Beau
mont to Lawson with asphalt and from
Lawson to Jessamine with sandstone.
An order divided the cost of the paw
ing according to the different materials
used.
The chief objections are that the
board of public works awarded two
contracts and made two assessments,
When there should have been but one
contract and one assessment; that the
property in front of the street car
tracks received the benefit of the re-
duced roadway, the railway being as
sessed for the paving between its
tracks, when, as a matter of right, the
advantage should have Injured to all
the property assessed.

ENDICOTTS WANT TO
DAM ST. CR0IX
RIVER
Object Is to Produce Power
Enough to Compete in
Supplying Twin Cities
With Light, Heat and
PoWer-Boston Syndicate
Is Behind 1t.

In the bill now before congress to
permit the building Of a dam on the
ST. CroiX river above TaylOr's Falls for
the generation of electrical power is
favorably considered. The st. Paul
Gas Light company will have a for
midable competitor.
The EndicOtt Syndicate, a Boston
corporation with much of it's money
invested in st. Paul and Minneapolis
realty, is said to be behind the move
ment and one of its principal objects
is the manufacture of light, heat and
power for it's own properties.
These properties as they now stand
would consume but a fraction of the
electrical energy that the water power
would produce and the scheme is to
convert the excess to commercial use.
Evasion of the st. Paul charter pro-
visions which exact a per cent
gross earnings fee would be eyaded
under the plea of ownership of the
buildings supplied.
For nearly two years the Endicott
syndicate has been before the city
council asking for franchise to per-
NIT it to convey power, light and heat
from a central building to its own
properties, but the proposition has been
Systematically evaded until the ordi-
nance directing the franchise is now
tied up in a special committee known
as franchise commission.
May Defy Council.
The syndicate has all along contend
ed that permit was not really neces-
sary, but rather than enter into any
litigation submitted to council dicta-
ton. Now it is said in the event that
the franchise is not granted the syndf-
cate will proceed without it and the
proposition to place the power station
on the ST. Croix river is the first step
in this direction.
The company has lately acquired
nearly $50 acres in the vicinity of the
proposed dam and it is said has inter-
ested capital to the extent of nearly
$2,000,000. The claim is made that the
dam will supply enough energy to not
only furnish light and power to the
two cities for commercial uses, but
also for municipal purposes.
The scheneeof damming the river has
received the full sanction of the local
engineers, but is having
some rough shedding in Washington,
where the local congressional repre-
sentatiyes are demanding that every
precaution be taken to maintain an
even flow of water and also to keep
navigation intact.
