DUNN men DISAGREE
Mayor of South st. Paul and
Justice at Loggerheads

The recent fierce fight between the. Re-
publican partisans throughout the state
did not pass over South st. Paul, and
there is open and declared war between
two Of the village officials of that town
as result ofIthe contest for governor
Mayor George Lyle yesterday refused to
sign warrant for s4166 in favor of JUS
tice C. F. Duss, the amount representing
the Justices salary for the current month
of June. The mayor contends that Po-
lice Magistrate Duss- is Withholding some
$500 in fines and fees of his Office but
properly assets of South St. Paul, and
says his refusal to sign the voucher for the
Justices salary is a means to bring firRn-
cial affairs; between the Justice and the
municipality to a show down. The JUS
tice sets up the claim that the fees are
properly his own, and that it is said that
the matter will come up before the South
st. Paul village council today for an adj
judication.
The trouble between the officials is said
to date from the night that the justice
succeeded by the efforts of others, in
preventing Mayor Lyle from being a del
egate to the Dakota county convention.
Both were Dunn men, but the fight for
the honor of being delegates waxed warm

MINNEAPOLIS
POLICE INSIST RUTH
KILLED HERSELF
SIeuths Say Miss Teachout
Committed Suicide Because
of Quarrel With Sister

Ruth Teachout committed suicide as
the result of a quarrel with her sister
week ago Saturday morning. said De-
tective James Howard to The G1ob
last night and all this talk about How
ard Taylor being connected with the case
is foolish. He is as innocent of the girls
death as an unborn babe
Despite the fact that the coroner's jury
in st. Paul decided that the girl had been
murdered at the inquest held over the
body last Saturday, the police department
has already given up the investigation
being unable to find any motive for kill
ing the girl after talk with TAYLOR and
the members Of the family in the office
OF the chief of police yesterday afternoon
Eva Taylor then told of a quarrel she had
with her. sister on the last morning the
girl spent on earth. 49, ~.
The letter which Ruth wrote that last.
morning at the business college was to a
man in Battle Creek, Mich, and the let
ter received by the .Teachout family later
on in the week was from the same man,
sWeinbrennan by name. The letter re-
ce1Ved from him was opened by, the
mother after the body had been found in
the Mississippi river and it had evident
~ been written before he received Ruth's
letter, as 1T contained nothing bearing on
the death and was no more nor less than
a letter written by man to the girl he
ceived another letter from Weinbrennan.
but has refused to say anything about
the contents of it.
Detectives Say It's Suicide
The detectives detailed to work on the
case hold that as there is no motive for
murder the girl committed suicide.
The story in a Minneapolis morning
paper about the girl having been seen in
company with an officer from Fort
Smelling at the Minnehaha falls park that
fatal Saturday by a conductor named
Harry Moore is purely matter of the
imagination. What seems least probable
is that an officer from the fort would be
ciandestinely meeting a girl at the falls
while In uniform, as they are not known
TO be frequenters of that resort, where so
many of their soldiers spend their time,
and If one did go there it would be in
citizens clothes.
;, The motive for suicide is ascribed by
the police to a little quarrel between Eva
ana Ruth over a parasol and a pair of
rupperS. Eva told the police yesterday
that they had quarreled over the matter.
and that Ruth had left the house with
out eating any breakfast. The police pick
ed up this chance for a suicide theory.
and their apparent belief is that the girl
calmly rode down to the business college
wrote her lover a letter of farewell rode
PACK to the falls; strolled down the
stream, piled her belongings on a rock,
walked out into the river and choked her
SELF to death, after which she dove into
the stream.

SAVES ON INSURANCE
Board of Control to Pay Pre-

ing a plan by which the Insurance might
be written for the full term of three
years and a saving made to the state.
In placing 81 ,000 goo. on the new state

board of park commissioners a PROPOSE
ton to sell a block of land near the West

his age. In his pockets We're found cards
with the names of people living in Mime

and In one pocket was found SIS in cur

He has brother named Wilson Ben
