PLAN OPENING
OF PHALEN PARK
East Side Resort Is to Be
Made A valuable for
Public at Once.

Ii present plans materialiZe, Phalen
park will be made available for public
use before the year is closed. At a
special meeting of the park board yes
terday a pumping plant was provided
for and the area of the ground increas-
ed by authorizing the purchase of
forty acres, wooded tract to the west
of the present lake. The pumping
plant, which will be operated by d
gasoline engine, will have a capacity
OF $4,000 gallons of water a day, and
this Will be supplemented by storage
tanks that will carry sufficient mois-
ture to dampen the entire grounds and
Slack the thirst of all who visit the
resort. ..~-
The availability of Phalen as a ST.
Paul natural resort is and has been
hindered ever since it's purchase by
the lack of street car facilities, but
this is to be provided for as soon as
the snow leaves the ground by either
the extension of the Lafayette or East
Seventh street car lines. Supt. Nuss-
banner yesterday announced he had
received assurance that the extension
would be made as soon as the neces-
Sary route had been provided for by
the board of public works in the grad
ing of several streets, principal among
them Forest street, a thoroughfare
over which the car line will enter the
will start work as soon as possible
The early opening of Lake Phalen
has been permitted by the late passage
by the Legislature of a law allowing
park boards to use their receipts. I'm
der the st. Paul charter all receipts
had to be turned over to the general
fund, but now they will be used in
providing Phalen park with line of
Improvements and amusements that
will make the resort self sustaining. 1t
is the intention of the commission to
make Lake Phalen an aquatic Won
derland. TobOggan slides will be pro-
Vided, a shoot-th -chutes installed and
other catch pennies added. What
few things have been decided upon, it
is figured will bring a revenue of about
$4,000 a year.
The contract for $4,000 pavilion
for Phalen park was let some weeks
ago and work on this will be started
in the spring. The dredging of the
lake and the making of walks and
boulevards will follow. In two years
it is claimed Phalen park Will, in many
respects, be- the equal of Como. It's
water area will be greater.
For the building of several needed
bridges in Como and Phalen park the
board yesterday authorized Supt. Ness
banner to buy fifty cubic yards or
stone and 200 barrels Of cement.

OFFICERS FRUSTRATE
WELL LAID PLANS
Boy Prisoner Prepares to Blind His
Captors With Black Pepper.

The plans of William Ernst, the
young man recently convicted of coun-
terfeiting, to disable an officer and
make his escape while on the way to
the reformatory were frustrated yester-
day by Chief Deputy United States
Marshal Grimshaw, who disarmed
young Ernst of a package of black
pepper just before starting with him
to the state reformatory.
Ernst had by some means secured a
package of black pepper, which he had
secreted in the lining of his coat. He
had, boy like, confided to Bryant, the
convicted counterfeiter in the county
Jail, that it was his intention, while
en- route to the state reformatory, to
use the pepper for the purpose Of
binding the officer in charge of him,
after which he thought it would be an
easy matter for him to make his es-
cape.
Bryant, who has been a trusty at the
county Jail since his incarceration last
summer, reported the plan to Deputy
Sheriff Miller, and the latter in turn
informed Deputy Grimshaw, who was
detailed to take Ernst to the reforma-
tory at st. Cloud. Mr. Grimshaw made
a thorough search of the boys cloth
ing, and finally found a sack contain
ing the black pepper secreted in the
lining of the boys coat.
A careful watch was kept on the
prisoner after this, and he was landed
safely at the reformatory. a telegram
from the deputy announcing the ar
rival there without incident.
Ernst is a boy, but eighteen years
old, and was recently convicted of
passing counterfeit money. He told a
wild story on the witness stand, and
appeared to be very Smart for boy
Of his age.

his name he would not discourage their
support. He has seen service in the
city's employ and is thoroughly con-
Versant, his friends say, With the city's
legal work.
j. c.. Michaels has been promised the
support of First Assistant McDermott's
friends if he will agree to his reten-
ton, but it is understood that he has
refused to give, definite answer. T.
d. OBrien is also said to be favorable
to McDermott. First Assistant Corpor-
alton Attorney McDermolt shows no
unusual activity in trying to discour-
age the support that has been rushed
to his standard but he is positive in
his declaration that while his chief,
Mr.. Markham, is a candidate, all his
efforts viii be directed to bringing
about his election.
Perhaps the biggest surprise Of all
in connection with the fight for Mr.
Markhams job is the avowed candi-
dacy of Representative James Hickey.
According to provision of the state
constitution, members of the senate
and house of representatives are bar
red from holding any other office under
the authority of the United States or
the state, with the exception of post
master, but this seemingly insur-
mountable obstacle does not seem to
deter Mr.. Hickey.
his IIlenuS hoId IhaI the once or
corporation is created by charter en-
actment, rather than by the state law
making bodies, and therefore he is
eligible. No court has ever passed on
the proposition, and he is willing to
be made a sacrifice in determining the
question.
Mr.. Hickey is understood to have
the support Of the leaders and prom
ises to be a lively factor when the
many candidates come up for caucus
consideration.

YOUNGER LEAVES FOR

Raising of Stock Is Likely to Engage

The official pardon for Thomas Cole
man Younger was forwarded to War

Younger was with the warden when
the document was received. .-a.
When asked what he intended to do
in the matter of earning a livelihood,
Younger said that it was altogether
likely he would engage in the raising of
stock, a business with which he is
already more or less familiar.
Il shall leave Minnesota for Mis-
souri, next Tuesday and l expect that
my first stop will be in Kansas City.
Then it is probable 1 shall go to In

big effort to see the Mardi Gras in
New Orleans this month, it is some
thing 1 have always wanted to wit
ness.
Yes, it is true that several friends
in Missouri have offered to let me have
the money to start in the ranching
business.
rs it true that Frank James will
come North to see me? I've heard
nothing of it. l cannot see why he
should. 1t has also been said that
upon the reception of the news of my
pardon, that the old Rebel yell was
raised in the Missouri legislative hall.
This appears strange to me, especially
when l reflect that all my folks We're
ardent supporters of the North in the

LIBERTY SHINES
FOR GROzOvSKI
Attorney Effects His TEN
porary Release On a Writ
Of Habeas Corpus.

Judge Brill, of the district court, yes
terday issued writ of habeas corpus
in the case of Max GrozOvski, the
Sherburne avenue bath house keeper,
in which Supt. Fitzgerald, of the work
house, is ordered to have the body of
GrOzovski in court Monday morning at
10 o'clock, and at that time show cause
why the prisoner should not be given
his release. The writ will also be
served upon County Attorney Kane
this morning. Attorney S. P. Crosby
appeared before Judge Brill yesterday
and secured the writ
1t is the intention of GrozoVski's
friends to secure his release from the
WOrkhOuSe on the point of law raised
by Attorney Harvey Hall in the Ireton
disorderly house case Thursday after
noon, it being commended that the keep
ing of a disorderly house is not pun
ishable by Imprisonment. So certain
are the attorneys of the ruling which
Judge Kelly will make on the point
which he now has under consideration
that it was decided to secure the writ
of habeas corpus without waiting for
the decision, which is to be made
Monday.
1t was at first the intention of the
attorneys to have the writ made re-
turnable before the supreme court, but
that court having adjourned it was
sued out before Judge Brill.
There is little doubt among we'll in
formed attorneys as to the cOnstruc-
ton which will be placed upon the
statute quoted by Mr.. Hall, even
County Attorney Kane being willing
to admit that under it's provisions it
was very doubtful if the offense of
keeping disorderly house is punisha-
BILE by more than fine of $50.
If it can be shown that the offense
is punishable by a fine only and not
by imprisonment, Grozovski, who is
serving a sentence for keeping a dis
orderly house, will be released. He
was sentenced for three months and
has now served almost two-thirds of
his time.
Not alone the friends of Grozovskf,
but a number of saloonkeepers under
indictment for similar offenses. are
awaiting the decision of Judge Kelly,
and the outcome of the Grozovski writ
of habeas corpus case, with much in

there is no reason why you should not

GETS FOUR YEARS FOR
CARRYING BOGUS COIN
Byron A. Frazier, Alias Bryant, Is SEN
fenced by Judge Lochren.

Byron A. Frazier, alias Eugene A.
Bryant, aged fifty-three, and veteran
Of the Civil war, recently convicted of
having in his possession counterfeit
money for the purpose of defrauding,
was yesterday sentenced by Judge
I4ochren, of the federal court, to serve
four years at hard labor in the peni-
tertiary at Saltwater. In addition to
this, a fine of $100 was imposed, but
the fine can be avoided by the prisoner
taking the poor debtors oath and serv-
ing an extra thirty days in prison.
1t has been the intention of Bryant's
attorneys to apply for a new trial, but
yesterday the counsel appeared in
court and asked to withdraw the ap-
peal for a new trial. Bryant was
asked by the court if he had anything
to say why sentence should not be i'm
posed. He had none, except that he
threw himself upon the mercy of the
court.

from this court" said Judge Lcchtcn.

A petition for rehearing in, the

supreme court yesterday. Following
upon the denial of the motion, the petit
TONERS secured stay of ten days, and
during that time will present another
petition for a rehearing.
The case was recently decided by the

could not be distributed to Bishop
Cotter and other prelates, under the
laws of the state, and affirming the
decision of the lower court that the
estate should be divided among the

Lyons, who is minor, was employ

WOMAN SNAPS Gun
IN OFFICERS FACE
COlOred Couple Resist Men
Who Came to Evict
Them.

While serving a writ of restitution
upon j. w. Smith and wife, colored
people, who have been living at 32s
Carroll street, Constable John Lob
mann narrowly escaped being killed al
the hands of Mrs. Smith, who is said
by the constable to have held a re-
volver within six inches Of his head
and pulled the trigger. The gun,
Wh1ch~Was thirtytwo caliber. missed
fire, but the cartridge plainly shows
the mark of the trigger.
Before the woman could make the
second attempt, Lehman disarmed her
but not until after fierce fight with
himself and Constable George Bowers
on the one side, and Smith and his
wife on the other. AS a result Of the
fight LOhmann is suffering from a
wound in the head, caused by being
struck with the sharp edge of a
Ratchet in the hands of Smith. Bowers
also has a few marks where Mrs.
Smith pounded him over the head with
a club.
The officers finally overpowered and
disarmed the Smiths, after which the
goods in the house were moved into
the street. Constable Lohmann yes
terday swore out a warrant for, the
arrest of Smith, who will be charged
with assault and battery.
Smith, who is a powerful negro, with

street, in house owned by Strickland,
Doolittle & Co. Upon the failure of
the Smiths to pay their rent, writ of
restitution was secured and placed in
the hands of Constable LOhmann The
officer went to the house Wednesday
afternoon to serve the writ, but in the
absence of the husband, the woman
promised to move out that evening,
and the constable returned.
fEhnrS6qU T1ipd Inv
bic Bowers, Lohmann went to the
Smith home again. No effort had been
made by the Smiths to vacate the
premises, and the officers started to
move the goods into the street. They
met with resistance at once.
Smith secured a Ratchet and started
after Lohmann, striking him in the
head with it, infiicting a serious
wound. The officer finally took the
Ratchet from Smith and had him on
the ground, when the woman, who had
chased Bowers away by pounding him
with heavy club, came to the rescue
of her husband, and, securing a re-
volver in the house, is said to have
placed 1t against Lohmann's head and
pulled the trigger. The gun missed
fire, and LOhmann, recognizing his new
danger, released his hold on the hus-
band and devoted his time to the wom-
an. He succeeded in diSarming her
before she was able to shoot.
Bowers, who had by this time re-
turned, kept Smith from doing further
damage, and the belligerents were dis
armed. The household goods of the
Smiths were then thrown into the
street, after which the officers return
ed to the city with the weapons Of
war. A Ratchet, club and loaded re-
volver were brought to the office Of
City Prosecutor Keller, and a warrant
secured for the arrest or Smith.
Mrs. Smith attempted yesterday to
secure a warrant for the arrest of the
two officers, but the request was re-
fused by the city prosecutor.

Charges of Selling Bad Milk Land
Father and Sons in Police Court.

The family of Wenzl Wedel, a dairy
man, was we'll represented in police
court yesterday, the father and two
sons being arraigned before Judge
Hfne. The father was charged with
violating the food and dairy law by
selling adulterated milk, the milk, it is
said, having been obtained from dirty
and diseased COWS. Assistant Dairy
Commissioner G. w. Staples preferred
the complaint Wedel pleaded not
guilty and will be tried next Wednes-

del is but the beginning of crusade
against filthy dairies in ST. Paul. War
rants are out for one or two others,
and an effort will be made to rid the
city of all such diaries.

TRAINMEN GET PART
OF ADVANCE
DEMANDED
'Katy" Road Grants Increase
of Twelve and Fifteen Per
Cent, and 1t Is Understood
That All Roads Affected
Will Make Settlement on
the Same Basis.

After just one month of negotiating
between the committees representing
the Order of Railway Conductors and
the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen
on the railroads west of the Mississippi
river, a final settlement is now in
sight. The outcome of the negotia-
lions has been Ringing on the situation
at St. Louis and the men have agreed
to abide by the terms reached there.
1t has been announced officially from
that city that the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas has decided to grant the passen-
ger men an increase of II per cent and
the freight men Is per cent. In addi-
ton to this concession the Katy" has
agreed to discontinue the use of double
headers as was requested by the men.
1t has been stipulated also that where
it is necessary to use double-h headers
double pay will be given the men.
Though the men have asserted that
they would accept only 20 per cent
increase they have, it is understood,
concluded to accept the offer of the
Katy" and it will, in all probability
be the basis of final adjustment on
all the roads in the movement.
VIII Settle Northwest Troubles.
J. E. Durham, general chairman Of
the Omaha division of the Order of
Railway Conductors, and chairman Of
the Omaha committee in st. Paul,
when notified of the katy settlement,
said:
The committees of the four st. Paul
roads will now reopen negotiations
with the officials, and it is practically
certain that the work to be done will
be merely that of adapting the basis
of the Katy settlement to the condi-
ton on each road"
The Great Western committee is al
ready in the city, and the other COM
mittees will be assembled the first of
next week, and it is possible that be-
fore week has passed the men will
be back to work with all the business
completed.
