Resting Comfortably.

John Reagan, the man who received
several deep gashes in his throat dur

the colored porter, in Seventh street
saloon, Thursday night, was reported
to be in a comfortable condition last
night. At the hospital it is said that
If complications do not arise Reagan
will probably suffer no serious conse-
quences.
Strong was arraigned in the police
court yesterday morning on a charge
of assault with a dangerous weapon,
and his case was continued to today.
A complaint against the cOlored man
has not yet been filed. and. as Reagan,
when he staggered into No. 2 engine
house soon after the cutting Thursday
night, did not want the firemen to call
the police, 1t is possible that he will
not prosecute if he survives.
Strong was seen at the county Jail
yesterday afternoon, but would say
nothing about the cutting
The other two men who received

clusion yesterday, but their friends adj
NIT that the woman was the cause of
the whole affair.

In Chicago there is one sOn-in-law
who does not subscribe to the mother

er-in-law and wants to give her a

by the chief of police yesterday shows:
u. J. O'ConnOr, Chief Of Police, St.
Paul, Minn.-Dear Sir: 1 am trying to
locate Mrs Samathy Horn, who left
Campbellsport, Wis, and from there
went to st. Paul, Mimi. At about the
time she left Campbellsport she mar
ried man by the name of Louis
Smith. 1 have been informed by a
friend in Campbellsport that she is liv
ing all alone in st. Paul, in a small
room, knitting to make a living. Mrs.
Horn is my mOtherin-law, and l wish
to inform her of the death of her
daughter, which occurred several
weeks ago. And as she is in poor cir
cumstances, of which / was not aware
until recently, 1 wish her to come to
Chicago and make her home with me.
/ gave this matter to the police of Chi
cago about a week ago, but as yet 1
have not received any reply. If you
can wire any information, please do so
at my expense. Yours truly,

The Ramsey county coroner, DR.. A.
w. Miller. will officiate at the inquest
to be held Monday over the remains
of Louis Moberg, the man murdered
near Owatonna, the county attorney
having held that the law makes 1t OBJ
ligatOry that he do so.
The question of jurisdiction was dis
puted until the law on the subject was
looked up, when it was found that
there is no doubt that DR.. Miller, and
not Coroner J. H. Adair, of Steele coun-
ty, has jurisdiction. The law states
plainly that the coroner in the county
where a body is found shall hold the
inquest.
Coroner Adair is coming to st. Paul,
but under this ruling, obtained by DR..
Miller, he will not have charge of the
hearing, although he will be given
every opportunity to familiarize him
self with the testimony in the case.
Under the law, the coroner's jury must
be composed Of Ramsey county citizens.
1t has been suggested that legal COM
pl1catiOnS may result and a clash In
authority arise, either as to the inquest
or the trial of the case. In the trial
proper, after the inquest has been held
in st. Paul. Ramsey county. 1t will be
necessary to establish in the courts Of
Steel county, where the case will be
tried, the existence of the corpus de-
licti-proof Of the actual existence of
the body. ~--l

ST. PAUL is CAUGHT
IN APRIL SNOWSTORM
Winter Returns for One More
Farewell Performance and
City Suffers.

The fierce gale which broke upon the
city yesterday afternoon, continuing
late into the night, though conceded by
the weather man to be the last per-
Torrance Of winter, was one of the Sc
verest snow storms Of the year Though
the temperature remained above the
freezing point during the evening, the
driving north wind, which attained a
velocity of twenty miles an hour, and
the falling snow, driven in horizontal
sheets, combined to make a blizzard
worthy of March at it's best.
The storm has been general through
out Of the Central states, and with its
accompanying precipitation extended
even to the Southern states. In the
eastern part of the Dakotas and West
ern Minnesota very heavy snow has
fallen, in some places being eight to
twelve inches in depth. The storm area
yesterday included the Dakotas, Iowa.
Nebraska, Kansas, as we'll as Minneso-
ia, Wisconsin and Illinois. Failing
temperatures accompanied the disturb
ance, and thirty degrees or lower were
registered throughout that region. Ex-
tremely high velocities were recorded
at some points, forty eight miles per
hour being reached at North Platte,
Chicago, Huron and st. Louis.
st. Paul received only a touch of the
storm, being on it's skirts~a it circIed
about from the Southwest and headed
towards the st. Lawrence basin, which,
the weather bureau says, is it's desti-
nation
The Northwest has suffered from
high winds and sleet during the past
few days, but was not responsible for
the storm which visited this city yes
terday. A peculiar feature Of the storm
was that, originating In the Southwest,
1t made a. circle across Kansas, Ne
braska. the Daktotas, and, turning
about In Western Minnesota. took a
southerly course and swept across the
eastern part Of the state from the
north.
The temperature fell six degrees at
the first approach Of the storm yester-
day afternoon. 1t was AZ above yes
terday morning and dropped to SO
above towards evening. Weather OBJ
server Oliver said that the decline will
continue, and that the temperature
will probably be ten degrees lower this
morning.
THE storm will pass off within the
next fifteen hours" said Observer OIL
yer yesterday afternoon, 'tand clear
weather will be restored by Saturday
afternoon. The temperature may not
rise Immediately. but normal conditions
will prevail Sunday"
AS a result of the storm telegraphic
service was crippled everywhere in it's
PATH and trains were greatly delayed.
Severe damage was caused by the
storm in the Southwest, but this Sec
ton did not suffer as seriously. Where
the snowfall was heavy in Western
Minnesota and the eastern part Of the
Dakotas. seeding was set back about
ten days.
