CHRIS HAAG is HELD
VIII Be Examined as to Assault
Causing Death of Kirchhoff.

Christopher Haag, $50 Blair street.
is being held at the county Jail in con-
sequence of the killing of Otto G.
Kirchhoff, who died Monday morning as
a result of fractured skull received in
a street brawl on Kent street Sunday
night.
The other six young men who were
arrested by the police for having been
connected with the affray We're releas-
ed on their own recognizance by Judge
Finehout yesterday afternoon, on mo-
ton of the county attorney, after the
verdict of the coroner's jury had been
considered.
Haag will be arraigned in police
court this morning. His six compan-
ions are required to appear in court
to answer a charge of disorderly con-
duct.
The examination of the witnesses at
the inquest yesterday morning did not
elicit any new facts in regard to the
difficulty between the two crowds, eX-
cept that some of the witnesses de-
clared that they thought Haag was the
one who threw the stone which struck
Kirchhoff.
Haag was not placed upon the stand,
his attorney, Stan Donnelly, insisting
that he had right to refuse to tes-
tify.
The verdict of the coroner's jury
finds that Kirchhoff came to his death
from blow on the head by blunt
instrument thrown by some person, or
persons, to the jury unknown.

T0H0LDB IG MEETING
Representative Citizens to Ar
range for Semi-CentenniaI.

st. PauPs representative men will be
called together on Sept. 18 to decide
whether or not st. Paul will celebrate
her fiftieth anniversary with appropriate
pomp and circumstance
AT the meeting of the st. Paul CONNER
elal club last evening it was decided that
there was to be any commemorative
celebration it must be under the direction
and charge Of the leading members of the
clty's business community.
Accordingly, committee was appoint-
ed to visit the leading business men of
the city and receive their assurance that
they would attend the next meeting
Reuben Warner Jr. was appointed chair
man and j. A. Gregg and J. l. HI Field
were associated with him on the commit
tee, as being the best fitted to interest
the solid business men of the city in the
enterprise.
j. A. Gregg made suggestion which
met with unqualified approval and that
was that If such celebration as is pro-
posed be held, st. Paul should have some
permanent memento of the event Mil
Waukee did the same thing when she ar
ranged Tor the Milwaukee column in
Grand Avenue park. But st. Paul people
are anxious to exceed Milwaukee to make
the celebration of the semi-centennial an
event ever to be remembered.
Whatever is finally decided upon, it is
settled that st. PauPs celebration will be
historical and commemorative of the
rounding of the city and devoid of anv
street fair features
The meeting last evening was enthusi-
ast1e. and While it was not as representa-
i've as hoped, it was explained that the
notice had been so short that many of the

ton Hospital Removed.

The county commissioners yesterday
received a communication from Thorn
as Montgomery, in behalf of the resi-
dents of Rosetown, protesting against
continuance of the present detention
hospital. The board is asked to rem
edy the matter by changing it's loca-
ton. Mr.. Montgomery says there is
no sewer system at the detention hos
pital, and that the refuse runs into a
swamp through which run the water
works mains from McCarrons lake
into st. Anthony hill. The petition
holds that the hospital is a menace to
public health. In his petition Mr..
Montgomery says:
THE condition of this place is some
thing terrible to contemplate. Imagine
a hospital with between forty and fifty
patients suffering from a disease that
necessitates such frequent use of bath
rooms and no connection whatever with
any kind of sewer, not even ordinary
drainage; nothing but an open culvert
across Dale street road conveying
part Of the impure water from the
swamp to a pond where cows drink
daily.

The matter was referred to Health

OF the sixty or more sprinkIing wag-
ons owned by the city not one was in
service yesterday. City Engineer Rund-

any money wherewith to pay the driv-

He yesterday gave notice that he
would try to have a special session Of
the two council bodies called for the
purpose of discussing the matter, and
if this fails then he will appeal to the
city comptroller.
The cause of the shortage in the
Spfinkling fund dates back TO three years
ago when former City Engineer Claus

contract system this was all right. but
now that the work is done by day Ia

Lieut.. S. E. Wainwright, of fire en-
CINE company No. II, stopped a run
away last evening at o'clock on East
seventh street, near Rosabel. The
morse, belonging to r. C. Barlow. a
farmer OF the Hudson road, had been
h1tched at the corner of Seventh and
k1ttson streets. and became frightened
by a passing street car.
Dashing UP Seventh street, the horse
scattered pedestrians to right and left
and nearly ran down several people
who attempted to stop him. AS the
runaway approached Rosabel street
Lieut.. Wainwright saw it coming. A
crowd at the corner was waiting to
board street car, and would have
peen run down had not Wainwright
put himself in the path of the animal.
He seized the bride and brought the
morse to a stop after hard struggle.
The horse dragged Wainwright some
distance, but he escaped with a few
bruises.

The board is firmly of the opinion
that Linnan's dilatory tactics are the
work of the street ear company, and as
much was intimated by President
Wheelock at the meeting yesterday,
who remarked. 81 do not think the

work started, but without avail.

Park Board May Use Club.
The park board has one club at it's
hand and threatens to use it, and that
is the extensions, Of the Lafayette line
to Phalen park as provided by the
eompany's franchise. The ordinance
contemplates the use of Earl street,
but in Difference to the company's re-
quest, resolution was later approx
ed making the route Forest street. The
board believes the company is trying
to dodge the issue by raising techni-
calfties and how threatens to invoke
the aid of the original ordinance.
When a communication was sent to
the company, some weeks ago, telling
it that the street would be ready for
the tracks by October, a reply was re-
ce1ved from the company to the effect
that the matter had been referred to
the legal department
The eompany's efforts at delay, it is
asserted, are induced by fear that the
opening of Phalen park will reduce the
travel to Wildwood park, a resort own
ed by it.
