H0LD-UP MEN Get
AWAY WITH 5000
Beat and Rob a Belated Dairy
man on Como Avenue and
Escape With His Cash.

While driving down Como avenue
from Dale street last night shortly
before 10 o'clock Hubert Hoen, dealer
in dairy produce, was dragged from his
wagon by two men, pounded and rob-
bed of about $780, which he had in
the inside pocket of his coat.
The horse, frightened by Hoen's
cries, dashed up the hill leading to the
bridge. The robbers secured the mon
ney and ran down to the railroad
tracks. Though Hoen pursued them
with cries for help, there was no one
about, and they escaped.
Hoen, who conducts a small COM
mission business, had been out deliv-
ering and collecting bills, and was on
his way home when he was held up.
He says he had left Phil Arnold's place
at the corner of Como avenue and
Dale street about $3.50, after complet-
ing his round, and was finished for the
day. At Arnolds he had left an or
der and had taken glass of beer.
AS he was approaching the Como ave-
nue. bridge, near Western avenue, he
says, he was accosted by two men,
who asked him for a ride. Thinking
they were acquaintance, he slackened
rushed to the bride.
The other, after breaking the glass
in the rear of the covered wagon, came
to his side. jerked him from his seat
struck him a blow on the head and
stamped on his chest
Both men then went through his
pockets, while he struggled and cried
for help. The men cut the inside
pocket from the lining and ran off with
the contents.
The robbers, according to Hoens
story, ran down the embankment to
the railroad tracks, and, though he
pursued them, yelling for help the
while, they were soon lost in the
gloom.
Patrolman Kulxla, who was attracted
by the cries, ran up Como avenue when
Hoen's horse came rushing across the
bridge. He seized the horse and soon
after found Hoen, who, after the eX
citement, succumbed and was unable to
move as result of the injury he had
received. The Rondo street patrol
wagon was summoned and Hoen was
taken to his home, 162 Goodrich ave-
nue..
Hoen was badly bruised about the
face, where he had been struck, and
his chest was so severely battered that
he breathed with difficulty.
Hoen can give no description of the
men, as he says it was so dark that he
could not see their faces plainly enough
to distinguish their features. One man
was large and powerful and it was
he, Hoen says, that pulled him from
his seat by the coat collar.
He could not tell accurately how
much money he had in his pocket when
he was robbed. He said that when he
left home he had S173, and that he
had collected several sums and paid
bills aggregating SIS, the receipts of
which were in his pocketbook. He says
that he had about $500.
Though the police were notified i'm
mediately and several detectives were
at work on the case soon after, the
men had not been found at o'clock.

nine men CHOSEN
ON The AMES JURY
One Juror, Accepted the
First Day Found DisquaI-
flied and Excused.

The first sensation of the Ames trial
developed yesterday when one of the
ten Jurymen accepted by counsel for
both sides and installed in the box to
pass upon the fate of the former mayor
OF Minneapolis was discharged from
service. The only reason given in open
court for the dismissal of the Juror was
an affidavit to the effect that he had
sworn falsely when he made the state
ment under examination that he had
never expressed an opinion as to the
guilt or innocence of the respondent.
The juror in question was John r.
Layne, brick and stone contractor
living at 3434 Xerxes avenue. Layne
was the third juror accepted and sworn
and he had occupied the third chair
since the first day of the trial.
The question as to his eligibility to
make good as a "goed man and true"
in the present case came up in the
form Of information which was i'm
parted to Judge Elliott by o. F. G. Day,
a Minneapolis newspaper man, to the
effect that Layne had once been under
arrest in st. Paul. During the excite
ment over the Cudahy kidnapping at
Omaha two years ago, Chief of Police
in search of the much wanted Pat
Grove, suspected of having carried
away the little Cudahy child
layne's Bad Luck.
The detectives came upon Mr.. Layne
and promptly took him into custody,
satisfied that the big reward offered
for the capture of Grove was in their
grasp. Layne is smooth faced and
bears a striking resemblance to the
pictures published at the time of the
suspected kdnaper. He was taken
to st. Paul and held for some time, be-
ing compelled to prove his identity to
the satisfaction of Chief OConnor be-
fore he was released. On that occasion
he retained lawyer and to the latter
he confided, as an illustration of his
bad luck in getting into trouble with
the police, that on another occasion,
twenty years ago, he had been arrested
in Mankato in connection with a mur-
der case. AT that time he was also
forced to seek legal aid in ridding him
i self of suspicion.
When this discovery was made by
the court, his honor promptly declared
recess and summoned the attorneys
for the state and defense into his pri-
vate office, where the matter was dis
cussed for nearly an hour and a half.
When court again convened Layne
was called from the jury box to the
witness stand and again questioned by
County Attorney Boardman as to his
qualifications to serve as a juror. AS
an opener the affidavit was sprung on
him. 1t was made by Thomas F. Chill
ton, a letter carrier who SwOra he had
heard Layne say on a street car that
he would never vote to convict -Ames.
Layne had sworn on the stand, when
under examination as venireman,
that he had never expressed an opinion

VANCOUVER, B. c., April 29-Over-
whelmed by countless tons of rock,
shortly after 4 o'clock this morning,
and with probably 112 of it's inhabit-
ants killed almost instantly, the little
mining town of Frank, in Western AL
berta, is tonight threatened with COM
plete destruction by flood.
Old Mans river, which flows through
the center of the town, is damned up
with the fallen rocks to the height of
nearly 100 feet. The waters of the
river are this evening obstructed for
miles and the entire valley above the
town is flooded. A big body of water
is pressing with force upon the dam
the only protection the town of Frank
now has, unless the river finds anoth-
er channel. Should the inpromptu
dam break the entire village would be
swept away.
Whole Valley Shaken.

and will act in accord with justice to
themselves and their families as we'll
as the road.
The controversy itself seems to pre-
sent an entirely new question in the
relations of employer and employe. At
the conference, as shown by the steno-
graphic report, both sides were agreed
that the questions of wages or recog-
milton of organized labor do not enter
into it, as both these questions have
longe since been adjusted to the salts
faction of both parties. Both, too, are
apparently agreed that it is not a ques-
ton of dollars and cents with the rail-
road, as all the wage demands of the
men were at once granted, and the
further fact developed by the confer
ence that the Great Northern employees
had for fifteen months enjoyed a high
er rate of wage than paid on any other
road in the same territory.
Question Involved.
The question involved, according to
Mr.. Garretson, assistant grand chief of
the conductors order, is that Of in
suring employment of more men by
the road, which, he says, while it
mas Its Inconsistencies, is essential to
the men. Mr.. Ward contends that ac-
cessfon would admit the men to voice
in the administration of the roads af-
fairs and in the end work hardship to
the men. He argues that if the road
is forced to put on more crews, when
uul tlmes come more men will suffer
IN the distribution of a curtailed busi-
ness. He also contends that accession
TO the mems demands will result in
discrimination between men on differ
ent parts of the road, and that the de-
mand, if granted, will lead up to an
attempt on the part of the men to bring
about standard train on a tonnage

The management of the Great North
ern railway has inaugurated a depart
ure in the consideration and adjust
ment of controversies between en-
poyers and employees.
The interested employees of the Great
Northern system are being polled by
repres entatives of their organizations
on the double header question, which
has been under discussion for more
than month. The men need not vote
in the dark or as the result of infor-
nation secured from either side of the
controversy, that, in the very nature
of things, might be biased.
History of the Case.
General Manager F. E. Ward, of the
Great Northern, has issued a complete
history of the matter as concerns his
road, and has caused it to be distrib-
uted to the men. This history is
unique in the discussion of differences
between employer and employe. 1t is
a booklet of fOrty-five pages and in
cludes not only the correspondence be-
tween Mr.. Ward and the representa-
tives and officers of the conductors
and trainmen's organizations, but a
verbatim Stenographic report of the
conference between Mr. Ward and the
representatives of the men,.
The men before voting will be in
possession of absolutely accurate in
formation, not alone as to the attitude
Of the road, but as to the position TAX

and the efforts made in their behalf.
Road Anxious for Poll.
The management of the Great North
ern, anxious for the poll, believe that
1t is safe with the men, when the lat
ter know exactly the position of the
road and their own representatives.
