settlement with him for the land
taken from him in the grading and
sidewalking of North Eighth street.
AS there seemed to have been a dis

BOARD BILL ENDURES
Youth Weds Landlady's Daugh.
ter, but She Sues His Father.

The elopement and secret marriage
of James Mcdonald, a youth of nine
teen, to Miss Georgia Cook, did not
wipe out the $14 board bill which young
Mcdonald owed to Miss Cooks mother,
Mrs. r. T. Cook, who conducts a
boarding house on Walnut street, and
now the young mans father is called
upon to pay the amount. Suit to re-
cover from the boys father was insti-
tuted in Justice Hoff's court and was
partially tried yesterday.
Young Mcdonald, a son of ]. ]. Nc
Donald, went to the Cook boarding
house last November. He was more
successful in making love to the pretty
seventeen year daughter of his
landlady than he was in keeping his
board paid, and when he was request
ed to settle board bill amounting to
$14 he left the boarding house.
Upon his departure Mcdonald Sc
cured the consent of Miss Cook to elope
with him, and they were secretly mar
RED They lived for a time on West
Seventh street, and the board bill went
unpaid.
Mrs. Cook was not forgiying to the
extent of wiping the amount off her
books, and being unable to bring suit
against her Son-in-law, as he is "a
minor, she sued his father for the
amount Justice Hoff will now have to
decide whether the young man freed
himself of the obligation when he took
the landladys daughter for a wife.

SERVED Her IN JAIL
Mrs. Won Suessemiich Sued for
Divorce by Duluth Dentist.

The troubles Of Mrs. Flora e. Won
Suessemlich, the we'll dressed but
strange-acting woman now confined in
the county Jail, were added to yester-
day when Deputy Sheriff Reichow
served her with a notice of suit for:
divorce, her husband, DR.. Won Suesse-
mich, a Duluth dentist, having COM
menced the action in the Duluth courts
this week.
Mrs. Won Suessemilch came to st.
Paul from Duluth the first Of the week
and a day or two later was picked up
by the police on the West side, where
she was found wandering about in an
aimless manner. She was well-dressed
and claimed to be the wife of a Du
Iuth dentist, who was the descendant
of a noble family.
Her story was rather disconnected
and was not believed by the police and
she was locked up, pending an exam
ination into her sanity. The woman's
story is partly confirmed by the Du-
luth divorce complaint, in which she
is charged with being an habitual
drunkard and addicted to the use Of
drugs.
DR.. and Mrs. Won Suessemilch were
married in Kansas City in 1888. The
divorce summons was served on her
at the county Jail yesterday.

IT WILL BE WARMER
Baimy Wave Is Following the
Passing Blizzard.

The high wind, which in some parts
of the Northwest blew at the rate Of
forty miles an hour yesterday, was re-
sponsible for great many things.
among which was the delaying of at
least two transcontinental trains. One
train on the Great Northern, which
was due to arrive at ST. Paul early
Thursday evening, had not put in an
appearance at an early hour this
morning. The last heard of it it was
stalled somewhere in North Dakota,
west of Larrimore.
The Northern Pacific did not escape,
for the coast train, which was due to
arrive at 2:20, was marked indefinite"
on the train schedule, which meant
that the depot officials did not know
where it was or when it would ar
rive.
The snow did not amount to much
in itself, and had it not been for the
violent wind which in some places
piled the snow to a depth of ten feet,
the railroad and telegraph companies
would have suffered no damage or in
convenience.
The weather forecaster's North
western reports showed that the snow
fall did not amount to much, and the
wind, which reached a velocity of thir-
ty miles an hour yesterday, was all
that st. Paul got out of the storm. He
says the city will not have to endure
the low temperature long and promises
warmer weather for today.
The temperature has risen through
out the Northwest in the wake of the
storm.

SALTWATER

Frank Colemeier, member of the fire
department, who has charge of the fire
alarm system, had a marvellous escape
from instant death, and is in a serious
condition at the city hospital During the
heavy windStorm the fire alarm system
became entangled with other wires on
West Churchill street, and Colemeier went
there to make needed repairs He was
perched on a pole twenty feet from the
ground, when he came in contact with a
rent, and the shock was of such strength
that he lost hold of the pole and plunged
headlong to the curb, striking hydrant
with his head and arm. He was picked
up unconscious, but later came to. The
attending physician says it will take sew
eral days to determine the outcome Of
the injury.

NEW LAW PROBLEMS
Two Will Be Presented to the
Supreme Court.

One of the cases on the supreme court
calendar for the April term, which is now
In course of preparation, is the appeal
of Louis Corriveau for a new trial. Cor
riveau was convicted of murder and con-
demned to be hanged. A petition to the
state board of pardons secured him a
communication of his sentence to life i'm
prisonment. A question of law has now
been raised as to whether he can appeal
to the supreme court for a new trial after
having taken his case before the board
of pardons and having been granted a
communication of his sentence. This pecu-
liar phase of the case has aroused wide
interest among lawyers.
Another case that is out of the usual
run will test the validity of a law Of
1895, which makes it an offense for a
citizen to refuse or neglect to destroy
mustard weed growing on property which
he occupies, when notified by the city au-
thorities to do So The case is that of
E. Boehm, of Kintire, Redwood county,
who was notified by the town supervisors
to kill mustard weeds that were growing
in his front yard and refused to obey the
order. He was arrested and the supreme
court is now called upon to review the
case and determine whether the complaint
alleges facts to constitute public Of

SAYS THE CITY HAS
A JUVENILE COURT
Prosecutor HeImes Claims Municipal
Court Sits as Such Tribunal.

That st. Paul has no juvenile court,
as asserted Thursday night by Rev. S.
G. Smith, president Of the Associated
Charities, at a parlor conference of
that society, is a declaration which
City Prosecutor Emil W. Helmes does
not wholly assent.
Its true in technical sense, Of
course" said Mr.. Helmes yesterday.
1--WE have no Juvenile court, consti-
tuted as such and under that name;
we have no separate judges for trying
juvenile offenders. But, as I explain
ed in my paper that was read before
DR.. Smith spoke, we have special laws
regulating the trial and punishment
of juvenile offenders. When prison.
er is under sixteen, for example, the
court room must be cleared before his
trial takes place. And have always
considered that when Judge Hine or
Judge Finehout is trying juveniles I'M
der these laws the court Is essentially
a Juvenile court, although the judges
are technically those Of the municipal
court. Practically, as I take it, st.
Paul has juvenile court"

SAILED THE RIVER
IN PIONEER DAYS
One of the Last of the Old
Steamboat Men Talks of
Early Times.


Times have changed since I first
saw ST. Paul from the afterdeck of
Mississippi river steamer in 1853" ru-
minated Capt. E. E. Herman, of Devils
Lake, N. D., at the Merchants hotel
yesterday. Capt. Herman was in st.
Paul, en- route home from winters
stay in California.
Eyes, continued the veteran river
man, st came to st. Paul first in 1862,
in charge of a steamer, and was fire.
quent visitor here for a good many
years afterwards. I engaged in steam,
boating on the Mississippi a few years
earlier than the date 1 mention, and
was in the business on the Mississippi
and the Chippewa rivers in Wisconsin
until twenty years ago, when I put the
first boats ON Devils lake, the big sa-
line sea on the prairies of North Da-
kota.
When Townsites Were Cheap.
ST remember how enthusiastic in
coming immigrants to Minnesota in the
early sos were and how the fellows
talked when they were taking the boats
back to civilization. The river banks
were dotted all along it's course from
La Crosse to st. Paul with little saw
mills and every one had a proper adj
junct in the shape of a townsite. The
promoters-they didn't call them pro-
motors then-did well enough until the
panic of 1857, and then the rush to get
out began 1t discounted the earlier
rush to get in, and man with a few
dollars could have easily bought few
tOWnSites at about that time. 1t was
the old story, though; nobody had the
money when the opportunities were
plenty, and when one looks out Of his
parlor car window coming UP the river
nowadays he can't help but ponder on
the irony of fate. Where are now
prosperous cities. in my steamboating
days their sites could have been bought
for a mere Song-and not very we'll
sung, at that.
Old River Men All Cone.
'I see that there is to be an attempt
to revive the steamer trade this sum-
mer for the st. Louis exposition" said
Capt Herman. ''This is all right, but
can't help remembering the fine old
boats we used to run in the st. Louis
trade. Big side-wheelers they were,
with plenty of roomy accommodations
and everything necessary to cater to
the first-class trade. The coming Of
the railroad was bad blow to our in
dustry, and the palmy days of the river
man have gone and are probably gone
forever. 1 am one of the very few of
the old timers living and the only
steamboat man 1 know who is still
alive and hearty is Clarence l.. Cham,
bers, of Eau Claire. Nearly all the
others have finished their lifes fabors
and gone over to the other side. "Aaf
