LOOTS SALOON SAFE
Thug Holds Up Bartender and
Suspects Are Arrested

Jim Abbotts, bartender at O. P. Glenn
ents' saloon, Eighth and Sibley streets.
was held up by lone highwayman at 2
o'clock yesterday morning. The robber
located hidden cash drawer and looted
the safe of the money box, getting away
with $3.50.
The police yesterday, arrested Charles
McElway and Mike Adams, who, they de-
clare, planned the holdup and employed
the footpad to do the work. The police
have learned the identity of the robber
and are now searching for him.
According to the police, McElway, a no
torious crook, and Mike Adams, ST.
Paul bartender visited Clements saloon
shortly after midnight, ostensibly to see
whether the coast was. clear. Immedi-
ately after they went out, leaving the bar
tender alone, the robber, with revolver in
hand, appeared and ordered Abbotts to
turn over the cash.
Abbotts refused to do so and the thug
then helped himself. He drew out the
money box from the SAFE. emptying the
contents in his pocket, and then went to
a drawer in which $40 in change was
usually kept. Abbotts had selected a diff
ferent drawer for that purpose yesterday
morning, and after little search the rob-
Der found the cash in another drawer.
The police suspected Adams. formerly
employed at the saloon, ard McElway,
who came to st. Paul last night to Join
him. Two women with whom they room
over the saloon were also arrested

POTTGIESER DOESN'T
LIKE TORRENS SYSTEM
County Scion Says It's Too Expensive
to the Taxpayers


Nicholas Pottgieser, county commits
sioner, announced at the meeting of
the committee on claims of the county
board yesterday that he would not
sign the warrants to carry on the Tor
rens system of land titles if he did
not fear that he would be in contempt
OF court.
fJust look at this said Pottgieser,
as: he tossed over bill from William
P. Westfall, the attorney, for 5000 for
examining titles during June, the
charge being $50 for each examination.
"Westfall has never received less than
$3.50 month for such work during the
present year, besides which the county
pays him $50 month as the attorney
for the register Of deeds. This means
that Westfall has received from the
county for the first six months at
least $1,400, and that by the end Of the
year he will have secured about $4,000.
Besides this, there are other expenses
connected with the Torrens system
that will bring the cost to the county
for a year to the neighborhood of
$4,000"
At the end of his announcement Mr..
Pottgieser signed the Westfal bill for
5000, reiterating as he did so that the
taxpayers are being mulcted for the
benefit of others, and that the Sc, 200
year is really being thrown away.

LETTERS MAY
SOLVE MYSTERY
Coroner's Inquest in Case of
Ruth Teachout Takes
Place This Morning

Two letters now figure in the mystery
which surrounds the death of Miss Ruth
Teachout, the Minneapolis girl whose body
was taken from the river last Tuesday
night near the st. Paul boom. When the
contents of these are known the cloud
surrounding her mysterious trip to the
spot below the falls and the scene which
ensued may be partially lifted.
The letter which Ruth wrote at the
business college the last morning she was
seen alive was addressed to some man In
Battle Creek, Mich. This much has been
ascertained from statements made by Miss
Cora A. Halverson. the girl who sat be-
side Miss Teachout Saturday morning at
the college, and who lives at 2944 Pleasant
avenue. What the mans name was the
girl does not know, but messages have
been sent to two sisters and brother Of
the dead girl in Battle Creek and the
police are anxiously awaiting reply from
them.
The police do not believe in the suicide
theory, and think that the letter con-
tanned something about the picnic which
she expected to enjoy on the reservation,
and disclosed her escorts name.
Letter to Ruth's Parents
The other letter may be of even greater
Importance in unraveling the mystery. 1t
was addressed to the parents of the dead
all members of the family. were closely
questioned in regard to the letter. nothing
definite could be learned but from a re-
mark dropped by Eva Teachout, the sis
ter of Ruth, it is believed that the letter
came from Battle Creek and that its con-
tents bear on the case.
The Teachout family continue to main
tain reticence regarding the case. Such
statements as the different members have
already made differ. ss
Photographs of Ruth were taken to the
reservation and Minnehaha Falls park yes
terday by the officers but further than
the man found in the park the day before
and the man BergStrom, no one has been
found who can remember seeing the girl
on Saturday afternoon.
A few relatives attended the funeral of
the girl at Prescott, Wis, yesterday. Mem
bers of the family returned last night
and will attend the inquest this morning.

having been delayed by a storm on the

about one welcome change in Gen. Chat

DOC REPEATS BITE
Fox Terrier Attacks 8.Year.0Id
Boy Second Time

Clayton Hamilton, S-year-old son of F.
T Hamilton, 1923 Chatsworth street, was
bitten yesterday for the second time in
the same place by the same dog The
dog, owned by neighbor. jumped at the
boy and imbedded it's teeth in his leg the
wound being exactly in the scar left by the
first bite which was inflicted three months
ago. .'--- a.'- ..
The boy was playing in the yard in the
rear of his home with few companions
when the dog, fox terrier, came among
the children Seeming to recognize Clay
ton Hamilton, it shifted, jumped and
snapped, the teeth penetrating the boys
flesh. The dog then released its grip and
jumped at the boy again. The second
time the boys wrist was caught between
the dogs jaws, and had the animal not
been beaten off by Mrs Hamilton, who
ran to the yard on hearing her sons cries,
the artery might have been severed.
when the dog bit my son the first time,
I did not make complaint" said MIR.
Hamilton last night. 'That time the boy
was partly to blame. but this time the
case is different, and L shall insist upon
having the animal destroyed. When the
dog bit my son the first time, about three
months ago, he was playing with it among
number of small boys. The dog then
bit his leg, tearing his trousers and in
f1icting a deep wound in the flesh.
clayton was not playing with the dog
or paying any attention to it this time,
however. The terrier came into the back
yard when number of the neighbors'
children entered through the gate. The
dog Immediately ran to my son and caught
his leg between its teeth. The boy shook
off the cur, which jumped again and
caught his wrist
Mr.. Hamilton Ssaid he would demand
that the dog be shot, and that if the owner
refused to give it up he would swear out a
warrant in police court.

NOT since 1t was rebuilt has the Peo-
pies church held SO large an audience as
that which assembled in it last night to
greet the student chorus of the University
OF Lund, Sweden. Every seat was occu-
pied and the many who were unable to
OBTAIN seats sat on the stairs in the gal
larry or crowded about the different en-
frances to the auditorium.
Inc chorus more than deserved the
greeting 1t received from this immense
audience which was made up largely of
the singers cUuntrymen.n Vocally it is
splendidly equipped and the superior
training 1t revealed made it difficult to be-
heve that the members are college men
ana have been singing together only since
their university course began.
The reception they received last night
appeared to inspire them. for they sang
their beautiful Swedish songs with a pas
slonate fervor that must have brought
DeIoTe the eyes OF many forgotten scenes
IN the well beloved fatherland.
Over the stage hung last night the
american nag and on one side of it
hung the flag of Norway. and on the
other side the. flag of Sweden. An i'm
mense horseshoe of red and white flow
ers was conspicuous orna ment On the
roStrun.
Chorus Is Most Expressive
The student chorus of the Lund uni
versity is exceptionally well balanced, full
most noticeable charm is it's expressive
ness. 1t is able to voice the finest shades
OF expression. In pianissimo passa ges, the
voices soften and blend until a single
voice. strong but indescribably tender.
seems to carry the theme. And even
when revealing its fullest strength the
chorus never loses this ability to convey
the message OF the song even while i'm
pressing with its volume.
One, of the most beautiful number it
sang last night WAS Swedish folk song
arranged by, Otto Lindblad. Like most
folk songs thissis in minor key. The
harmony is exquisite. The singers per-
fectly interpreted the motif of the song.
The Swedish national anthem and
Hear Us. Svea, contained very spe-
cial appeal for, the. majority of people in
the audience AND aroused it to a high de-
gree of enthusiasm. g.
DIR. Albert Berg, the leader, whose I'M
obtrusive but firm conducting was a de-
light to watch, was forced to bow his
appreciation again and again.
Herr John Forsell. the only soloist with
the chorus. is a great artist, superbly
gifted vocally. His baritone has the clear
ness and the sweetness of a lyric tenor
together with the dramatic depth and
strength of a deeper voice. He sang the
"Old Psalm by Grieg, the chorus accom-
panying. and the solos in "Sten Sture, "
by Karling. $500 st.s Is.
