WAITER HANDS OUT
BLOWS AS SWIFTLY
AS He DOESDISHES
Louis La Bree Routs Three
Men Who Take Possession of
HisWoodshed--Lands on One
With a Hatchet-.ls Arrested
With His Opponents.

Louis M. La Bree. waiter, demon
stra ted last evening that he was as able
to deal telling blows against three an.
tagonists as he is to hand out heaps OIL
dishes of anything that may be ofder-
ed.
So deftly did he handle three men
bigger than himself that before the
contest had lasted but few minutes
one was in full fight, one horS du
combat and the other received such
blows about the eyes that he could
not see and was obliged to beg Tor
quarter.
La Bree was at home yesterday in
the bosom of his family. About E
o'clock three noisy fellows entered the
Woodshed in the rear of the house,
637 Conway street, and commenced
conducting themselves in an objection
able manner. Mrs. Ia Bree first dis
covered the men there and ordered
them away. The men. however. re-
fused to obey her. Then La Bree Went
to them and when he asked them civ
lily to desist or to go away, they
hurled profane epithets at the waiter.
Words led to blows and though there
were three against one, the plucky
waiter showed that experience in Jug
Cling dishes is worth something. Be
fore tie fight had lasted long one of his
adversaries took to precipitate flight.
The other two then pitched onto La
Bree, who, instead of being daunted,
gained new courage. Graphing with
one of the men La Bree and his oppo-
nent rolled down a fight Of steps.
When half way down La Bree seized a
stone with which he pounded the head
of the man with whom he was Crap
ping. Together they reached the bot
tom of the steps and La Bree then
broke away
Infatuated, his opponent then dashed
at the waiter. La Bree, in an instant,
reached to the ground and picked up a
Ratchet to defend himself. Herbert
Metz one of the fighters. then tried to
clinch with La Bree. but in the effort
ran against the extended Ratchet, re-
ceiving a blow across both eyes which
deprived him of the use of his optics.
Metz also sustained deep cut on
the back of the head. Len Robinson.
the other antagonist of La Bree. who
remained upon the ground. was also
badly used up. ~
Unseathed and still dauntless. La
Bree stood his ground and dared his
other combatant to an encounter. Fur
Their bloodshed was averted, however,
by the arrival Of police officer. who
placed all three of the men under ar
rest. La Bree was compelled to go to
the station with Metz and Robinson.
The other man, who ran away. had not
been arrested by the police last night.
MetZ'S injuries We4a such that he was
taken to the city hospital. where his
wounds were dressed. His eyes re-
NAMED swelled last night. Metz was
taken from the hospital to the Mar
garet street station later last night, his
injuries, though painful, being not Sc
rious enough to confine him to bed.

RIVER GIVES UP A
HUMAN SKELETON
GhastIy Find Is Picked Up
Among the Logs at St. Paul
Boom.

The Mississippi river gave UP an
other mystery yesterday morning in
the shape of human skeleton which
was picked UP among the logs at the
ST. Paul boom. The skeleton was with
out a vestige Of clothing by which it
could possibly be identified.
The skull had parted from the trunk
and parts of the arms and legs had
been worn away by the action Of the
water. There was absolutely nothing
about the skeleton to indicate the iden-
tity of it's former possessor
Coroner Miller viewed it and said
that the body must have been in the
water for over a year. The skeleton
was taken. to the county morgue and it
will be buried by the county today.

From the proceeds of the carnival the
public baths will receive about $5,0o0
if the expenses do not greatly exceed
present estimates.
1t was impossible for the committee
to get any figures completed yesterday
or to make any progress in posting the
books, for the reason that all of the
members We're occupied until O'CLOCK
in the morning in effecting a settlement
with the manag cement of the Jabour
Circus company, and had to devote
considerable portion of the day to pay
ing off the men employed by the-carnl-
val association.
Nearly all of the accounts are still
in the form of slips, receipts and other
memoranda, from which only approx
mate information is obtainable. 1t is
estimated that the carnival associa-
tons share of the gross receipts, after
the Jabour companys portion has been
deducted, will amount to nearly $4,000.
The expenses, it is believed, will run
somewhat above $4,000. and making a
liberal allowance on this side Of the
account the baths should get at least
S., 900.
The paid admissions at the main
gate for the entire period Of two weeks
is now found to have been about 3d.

WILL DEVELOP PLENTY OF POWER.
Street Railways New Plant to Be COM
pIeted In Decemher

The new power house to the Twin City
Rapid Transit company. which is being
erected just below the east end of the
Tenth avenue bridge, will be completed in
December and the machinery installed.
Engines capable of developing Is, 900
horsepower, sufficient to run all the
street cars in Minneapolis and st. Paul,
will be placed in position, ready to supple
ment the power that is derived from the
big dam.
The power-house is about half com
pleted. 1t is a building $50 feet wide, 225
feet long and 80 feet high. About 4,500,-
900 pounds of iron and steel have been
used in it's construction and when fin
ished, it will be one of the most complete
power houses in the country.
The increase of traffic upon the lines Of
the company has made it necessary to Sc
cure additional power Last winter there
were several occasions when the company
was handicapped on account of lack OF
power. With the new station there will
be no further trouble, for the steam plant
will be sufficient to operate the system
should the power-house at the dam be put
out of commission.
