PAID HACKMAN
WITH JEWELS
YOUNG WOMAN AUTHOR OF AN
EXCELSIOR MYSTERY.
Taken into the Home of Strangers,
She Raves, Smashing Windows and
Other PropertyC Comes to City and
Is Lost Track OF.

"A, young and well, dressed woman.
hired a hack in Minneapolis Friday
night, drove to Minnetonka, gave her
pocketbook, containing jewels, to the
hackman in payment for the drive,
and then smashed windows and other
property in the home sof persons who
were strangers to her. saturday morn
ing she returned to the city by train.
Shortly after I: midnight Saturday
morning Chief Of Police Powers Of
Excelsior saw a carriage with drawn
curtains pass .hurriedly thru the vii
lage. Several hours later the hack re-
turned. The officer, questioned the
driver. The latter said well-dressed
woman in the city had hired him to
take her to Upper Lake Park. Upon
the Woman's arrival she acted strange
ly and began looking apparently for
some one she knew in the different
houses. Eventually, however, one Of
the residents took pity upon her, as
she was determined not to return in
the hack, and gave her lodgings for
the night. The hackman demanded
his pay. The young woman cried and
wrung her hands, mumbling some
thing he could not understand, and
then thrust into his hands her peck
etbook. She then ran into the house.
When Officer Powers had. heard the
mans story he asked to see the pock-
etbook and found therein jewelry Of
value but no money. The team was
in bad condition and the officer de-
tanned the driver until morning. A
valuable breastpin was found in the
hack. FL
Saturday morning a telephone mes
sage from Upper Lake Park stated
that the officer was needed there to
control crazy woman. In haste he
hitched up his horse and started. He
| had proceeded on his way only q short
distance, however, when a messenger
| stopped him, saying the woman was
under control and did not desire any
publicity. The stranger had in the
| night smashed windows and other
property in her frenzy.
Saturday afternoon well-dressed
! and apparently young woman, heavily
yelled, came to the city from Excel
sior. From remarks she let drop, 1t
was gathered that she was well con-
| nected. During her raving she. COM
| planned Of being pursued by persons
bent upon her destruction, and it was
In her efforts to elude them that she
destroyed her hosts property. Upon
her arrival in Minneapolis she sum-
| moned a cab and drove up town and
| was soon lost in the crowd, -

Separate conventions for the romi-
nation of candidates for the supreme
bench and for the district courts were
recommended at the annual meeting
of the State Bar association, held in
the council chamber Of the city hall
this afternoon. This step is the cul-.
mination Of q years agitation on the
subject Of non-partizan judiciary.
The recommendation was embodied
in report made by a special COM
mittee on judiciary appointed at the
associations annual meeting of last
year and consisting of Judge Charles
E. Otis Of st. Paul, Representative
Ambrose Tighe of st. Paul, John O..
P. Wheelwright and George P. Plan
merry Of Minneapolis and Representa-
tive G. A. Fosnes of Montevideo. In
the absence of Judge Otis the report
was presented by Mr.. Flannery.
In substance, the committee recon-
mended that the association make
every effort to secure legislation pro-
vid1ng for a separate convention for
the nomination Of judges, the theory
being that such a change in the sys-
tenn in use would prevent the trading
now carried on at conventions where
the candidates for the judiciary are
the last to be named, in consequence
Of which districts which have not. been
represented on the ticket secure places
for candidates for the bench. The

believed, also give the twin cities, from
