WAGNER ASSAULTS
HIS BROTHER-IN-LAW
Latter Refuses to Allow Him to Search
Premises for Mrs. Wagner.

Jacob Wagner. of South ST. Paul, is
accused of assaulting his brother in-law.
Seth L. Isham, at his residence, IS South
Robert street. Sunday afternoon
Wagner's wife left home two months
ago, and last week Wagner advertised
for information as to her whereabouts
On account of the publication of that fact
in T h e Glob last Saturday morning,
Mrs. Wagner's brother-in-law, Mr. Isham,
stated for publication that Mrs. Wagner
had left her home on account of alleged
ill treatment from her husband and had
come to reside with him. She had he said
later taken a position as a domestic
with family. on st. Anthony hill.
On learning through the newspaper re-
ports that his wife had been at the home
of Isham, Wagner is said to have called
there Sundayb afternoon demanding to
see his wife. He was told that she was
not there, and insisted upon searching the
premises. Upon being refused, he is
charged with assaulting Isham
Isham was struck over the left eye with
the heavy metal handle of an umbrella
and sustained a cut necessitating several
stitches Although half stunned, he re-
covered sufficiently to eject Wagner from
the house. Isham called at the Office of
the city prosecutor yesterday and de-
manded a warrant for his assailant

MAY BUILD PART OF
SEWER TOSAVE MONEY
Way Is Devised Whereby st,
Anthony Park Sewer Sys.
tenn Can Be Begun.

The best the board of public works
can do for st. Anthony park and it's
much desired sewer system is to build
a part of the Improvement. Even that
may fail when the hearing is held. !.
When a complete underground sys-
tenn of drainage for st. Anthony Park
was first proposed, the cost was placed
at about $3.50, OO0 The expense could
not be met despite the fact that the
city had set aside 100000 to aid in the
Improvement
The first system planned included the
laterals and yesterday a second esti-
mate was received from City Engineer
Rundlett, which provided for the main
sewer only. The total cost was placed
by Mr.. Rundlett at $4,000, or $1.S5 a
front foot. Without any hesitancy the
board declared this was as impossible
as the first.
Assessment against the abutting
property, it was found, would bring
only $24 ,975, which, together with the
100000 which the city at large has
provided would just about meet half
the estimated cost. To spread the bal
ance of the cost, it was agreed, could
not be done.
Must Let Contract to Save $4,000.
Fearful of losing the 100000 which
the conference committee gave when
Ine budget was last made up, ana
which will revert to the general fund in
the event it is not used, those behind
the improvement want the board of
public works to let a contract of some
kind without delay.
This the board will probably do, by
advising the construction of the main
sewer from the Mississippi river to
University avenue. When the confer
ence committee meets next month,
those interested in the improvement
will go before it and ask for another
appropriation.
The section of sewer which it is pro-
posed to build passes through a local
ity that is not strong in realty values,
and there is some prospect that even
this scheme will fail. but the board
says it will see what can be done. A
hearing will be held shortly to which
the interested property owners will be
invited

Board of Equalization.

Henry w. Fagley has been appointed

resigned at the close of the recent ses-

Mr.. Fagley is vice president and

Mr.. McKibbin, who is senior mem

ENJ0INS The COUNTY
Board Is Restrained From Re-
pairing a Town Road.

The board of county commissioners
was yesterday temporarily restrained
from improving the old territorial road
extending from the village of White
Bear to Manitou island, the restrain
ing order having been issued by Judge
Bum upon the application of Philip
Gilbert, a st. Paul attorney, whose
home is at White Bear, abutting on
the road upon which the proposed i'm
provements are to be made.
The restraining order cites the coun-
ty commissioners to appear in court
this morning at 10 o'clock and show
cause, if any, why they should not be
permanently enjoined from doing this
work. The notices were served upon
the commissioners by Deputy Sheriff
Hardick after the contract for the re-
pairing of the road had been let A. j.
Peltier upon his bid of $780, The con-
tract was temporarily rescinded and
the matter will be held in allegiance
until the legality of the work has been
determined by the court.
Mr.. Gilbert along with others, owns
property in the village of White Bear,
along the road in question. and it is
their desire to have the old road va
Gated and a new one built upon the
fiat lands below their homes. The
board went out and investigated the
IOcu IdSl WEEK anu QecluGu 10 repair
the present road. 1t was after this
decision was reached that the restrain
ing order was sought
In setting forth reasons why the
county should be restrained from i'm
proving the present road, which is
known as Lake avenue, the plaintiffs
assert that the road is wholly within
the village limits of White Bear, and
that it is not now, and never has been,
a county road. 1t is charged that it
does not intersect nor is it the con-
tinuation of any county road
1t is further alleged that the road is
not road by reason of plat or dedi-
cation, but if public road at ALL only
such because the public has acquired
a prescriptive right thereto by use
thereof for more than fifteen years.
The plaintiff alleges that the county
has no right to enter into a contract
to bind or obligate the county to pay
any sum whatsoever on account of the
contract is entered into it will result
in the payment, Illegally, from the
county funds of large sum of money
raised by taxation, and that the plaint-
if, as a taxpayer, will be injured there
by.
A number of other reasons are set
forth why the county should not be
permitted to spend the public funds
upon road which is in nowise a coun-
ty road and the court is asked to per-
manently enjoin the board from any
such action.
The settlement of this particular
case by the court will establish the
precedent as to- whether or not the
county has the right to use the county
funds in repairing town roads, and the
decision is, therefore, of much impor-
lance to the county commissioners, as
we'll as the taxpayers of the county
and the various town boards.

PARK BOARD CAN'T

Not if the park board knows it will
Supt. Nussbaumer be ordered to. set
aside three or four acres of Como or
any of the other parks of st. Paul for
the cultivation of fruit trees.
1t would be very nice to have fruit
trees in the parks, wrote the Thursday
club to the board of park commission
ers, but the members could not see it
in that light yesterday when the COM.
munication from the club was read.
1t asked that three or four acres of
one of the parks be set aside for the
cultivation of fruit trees, with the idea
of later tranSplanting them along the
parkways and park entrances.
Il am afraid the scheme is not feas
ible," said President Wheelock. "I am
afraid the Thursday club does not real
iZe what a temptation we would be
putting in the way of Young America"
We'll, if you tackle the proposition
I want an officer for every tree" re-
marked Supt. Nussbaumer.
What would we do with the fruit? ?"
jokingly replied another.
Club Will Be Gently Notified.
With all due respect to the Thursday
club, however, the members decided
that the scheme was impracticable, and
after ordering the communication
placed on file, the secretary was in
structed to confer with the club and
tell the members that the board could
not entertain the proposition.
In many European countries fruit
trees are planted along the roadside
and in the parks. Pedestrians are per-
mitted to avail themselves of the fruit
that drops, but their right to the fruit
does not extend beyond that. This the
Thursday club desires to do for st.
Paul, and in its request to the park
board yesterday it promised to use its
best -endeayors to educate the youth of
the Capitol City to refrain from taking
unlawful possession of the fruit.

ST. PAUL PIONEER
DIES IN CALIFORNIA
Edward PaImes,- Sixth Minnesota Vet
eran, Is Mustered Out.

Edward Palmes, who will be remem-
bered by the pioneers and especially
the Grand Army men of the city, died
Oct. at Bakersfield, Cal, where he
had resided since 1871.
Mr.. Palmes enlisted in Company G.,
Sixth Minnesota regiment, in 1861,
which, after taking part in the cam
paign against the Indians, was sent
south to New Orleans. AT the close of
the war Mr.. Palmes joined surveying
party, and a few years later had de-
Veloped into a civil engineer. In 1870,
with a party of friends, he went to Los
Angeles expecting to go to Valparai-
SO, Chile, but decided that California
was more to his liking and a year later
removed to Bakersfield. Among those
who attended the funeral was Morgan
Hause, also a St Paul pioneer, who
had been lifelong friend of Palmes.

Butte Man Does Not Believe Dynamite

The stories which come from the

greatly exaggerated" said F. R. Boyce.

resident of Butte for a number Of
years, When seen by The Globe

MI Boyce formerly lived in st. Paul

st. Paul for a brief visit with old
friends.
The people out in Butte and in 9TH
ef towns along the line of the North
efn Pacific in the West read the stor-
les printed in the papers farther East
with considerable amusement and no
STOCK is taken in the reports that an
organized gang is attempting to dyna-
mite the Northern Pacific.

the Livingston job was done by some
ignorant person or persons who had
out little object in view outside of Some
spite work, or possibly to secure an on
portunity to rob a train.
however, the road is not taking
any chances, for every train runnine
west of Billings is we'll guarded and
there would be little chance of esrana

not worrying themselves about the re-
ports, and in my experience as a hotel

WILL KILL HORSES
SERIOUSLY AFFECTED
Only Those Suffering From ViruIent Form
of Chambers to Be Condemned.

In consideration of the fact that tbere
is no fund for the reimbursement of own
ers OF horses killed because of glanders.
the state live stock sanitary board has
decided that only such animals as have
developed the disease to virulent degree
shall be condemned to death
A bill to establish a fund to pay for
horses killed by order of the state au-
thorities failed of passage in the last
legislature, and the board feels that no
animal of any commercial value should be
Killed unless the state is ready to REIN
purse the owner for his loss. Therefore
horses IN the early stages of CHAMBERS will
merely be quarantined and until they
nave reached the time when they are a
menace to the community they will not be
killed.

description of the conditions pertain

He speaks particularly ia common
dation Of the native grasses of that re-

try. AS an example of what has been
accomplished he quotes from a report
of the work of the New Salem Butter
Manufacturing company, as made by
its proprietor, r. f. Flint, formerly Of
Minnesota.
Not one of the six creameries tribu-
tary to New Salem has shut down
since it was started, and the farmers
OF that vicinity are all increasing their
herds. To show the quality of the
butter of that region the following
markings were secured in important

the adjoining portion of the double
house, 538 Dayton avenue, heard noise
at o'clock in the morning. He made
no investigation at the time, but re-
ported the matter to the police the fol-
lowing Monday. The burglars had
gained entrance through a rear win
dow. They had first, it appears, made
at attempt to force the front door, for
the lock was broken and the knob had
been removed. They made their exit
through the rear cellarway, leaving
the door open.
The police kept the robbery a secret
in the hope of catching the burglars.
Policemen slept in the house every
night last week, but the burglars did
not return.
