LABORER STRUCK BY
TRAINlL0SES HIS LEG
James Duggan Meets With Grave Ac-
cident in Union Depot Yards.

James Duggan, laborer employed
by the Northern Pacific and residing
at $50 Short street, was struck by a
500 passenger train backing into the
union depot yards under the Third
street bridge yesterday afternoon at 2
o'clock, and his left leg was crushed
above the ankle.
Duggan was crossing the tracks and
the train, which was being made up,
had stopped just before reaching the
crossing under the bridge. Duggan, it
is said, attempted to cross the track
when the train started suddenly and the
rear car struck him, throwing him to
the ground. His left leg was caught
beneath the wheels and was so badly
crushed that it had to be amputated.
The injured man was picked up by
the train and hurried to the depot,
where he was attended by DR.. Moore,
police surgeon, and removed to St. Jo-
seph's hospital. Duggan, ia being taken
to the hospital, displayed remarkable
nerve, chatting with the police sur
geon and not appearing to mind the
frightful injury he had received. He
lost a large amount of blood, and re-
NAMED in a serious condition at the
hospital last night.

MONEY WENT FAST
Wife Charges Non.Support
When Husband Spends All.

Possessed of $4,000 in cash six
months ago, John c. Gerber, 9, young
man not yet twenty-Seven years old.
appeared in the police court yesterday.
looking like tramp, to answer q
charge Of non-support which had been
preferred by his young wife. Gerber
had not one cent, and had not an aunt
come TO his rescue and furnished bail
In the sum of $500, he would have been
taken to the county JAIL
Mrs. Gerber, carrying a seven
monfh-oId baby in her ANS told Police
Judge Finehout that for some time
past her husband had not supported
her. Gerber was first arrested on the
non-support charge on Memorial day,
at winch time the case was continued
until yesterday.
The story Of Gerber's meteoric career
during the past year is an interesting
one. Married two years ago to a girl
only seventeen years old, he worked as
fireman, on a railroad. A year ago
Gerber was the victim of a wreck on
the Great Western down in Iowa, at
which time he was so badly scalded
that his life was despaired Of for many
weeks.
Six months ago Gerber settled with
the Great Western, receiving $4,000 in
cash. His wife returned to him, and
for a period of. three months Mr.. and
Mrs. Gerber had almost everything that
money could buy. At the end of three
months time Gerber had run through
with the $4,000, and then he was COM
PEELED to seek employment again.
Il had no money to. give her, judge"
Gerber told Judge Finehout yesterday
in the police court. II have not been
able to earn any lately, but when / had
it she lived like a princess. I love my
wife and child and would like to have
them come back to me. / am not
afraid to work, and as soon as 1 can
get employment 1 will provide for
them"
Gerber was so badly scaIded in the
wreck that he is unable to perform
hard labor, and during the past two
months, according to his story, has
made scarcely enough money to keep
himself alive

STATUS OF STATE FAIR
SOCIETY TO BE FIXED
Appeal Taken From Ruling That IL Is
Part of State Government.

The following cases were argued and
submitted yesterday in the state SUI
preme court:

Minnesota State Agricultural Society.

State Of Minnesota, ex rel Charles
J. Berryhill, appellant, VS.. st. Paul Gas
Light Company, eft al, respondent.
State of Minnesota, ex rel. Ed q.
Krahmer, as. county auditor of Ramsey
county, respondent.
In the Berman case the question at
issue is whether the agricultural So
ciety is part of the state government
or simply a corporation. Berman, ar
rested by Pinkerton detectives at the
state fair last year, was afterwards
discharged. He sued to recover $4,000
for false arrest, for Islander and for
assault. The lower court decided that
the agricultural society was part of the
state government. and that the state
could not be sued by one of its own
citizens.

BOILER INSPECTOR
AFTER AUTO DRIVERS
Owners Must Paint License Numbers
Upon Their Machines.

Automobile ownersrwhe fail to paint
their machine numbers directly upon
their machines in the place designated
by law, or who fail to display figures
of the proper size and color, are likely
to find their machines. hobbled and
helpless on the street. The chain
locking the auto will bear card
from State Boiler Inspector Johnston
notifying the owner to comply with
the law as the sole condition of re-
lease. 90 a1see.@
When some auto drivers run down
child, or get into any other trouble .
said Mr.. Johnston yesterday, their
first desire is to get away and conceal
their identity. That was illustrated re-
Gently in Minneapolis. Such drivers
are naturally unwilling to show their
numbers according to law
There's No. 26, for example. We're
looking for that auto, and unless the
number is properly displayed next time
we see the machine, '26' will be locked

State Educators End Dispute
Over Convention Town.

The annual session Of the Minnesota
State Educational association win be
held in st. Paul during the Christmas
holidays, Prof. George A. Franklin,
president of the association, yesterday
notifying Supt Smith. Of st. Paul, that
such would be the case.
In a letter to Supt. Smith, President
Franklin. who lives at Faribault and
is superintendent of the schools there,
says that it has been definitely decided
to again hold the convention in St
Paul, and that he has issued official
notice to this effect. This settles for
another year the agitation favoring the
holding Of the sessions Of the associa-
ton at some other than the Capital
City.
Previous to the session of last winter
there arose considerable friction be-
tween the local committee and the as
ISOLATION officers, with the result that
the Commercial club found it neces-
Sary to take part as peacemaker. The
outcome was favorable to st. Paul, but
not before considerable iII-feeling had
been engendered, leaving many of the
prominent members of the association
at loggerheads.
At the convention that followed the
selection Of the place Of meeting for
the coming winter was placed in the
hands of President Franklin, and
Supt. Smith and Thomas Cochrane
were appointed as the committee to
urge the choosing of st. Paul.

Head of Augsburg Seminary Board
Announces intention to Retire.

The intended resignation of Prof.
Sven Oftedal,, chairman of the board of
Augsburg seminary, was announced
yesterday at the Norwegian Lutheran
Trinity church, Harrington and Sher-
burne avenues. during the annual
meeting of the Norwegian Free church.
Prof. official. recalling that he had
been connected with the seminary for
thirty years, made the gratifying state
ment that the debt Of SIS, 900, which
had been hanging over the institution
for years, had at last been paid. Now
that the seminary was untrammeled,
he felt after his long service that he
was justifed in presenting his resigna-
ton. He would devote himself to lit
erary pursuits.
His successor via probably be Pref.
A. Holland, who is now taking a spe-
cia1 course in theology at the Univer-
Sity of ChFistiana.
President Sverdrup reported that 1876
pupils had graduated from the Nor
wegian UNCONVENTIONAL school, eleven
students from the college and thirteen
from the seminary.
Prof. Ytrehus, speaking of mis-
sions,'' advocated more vigorous en-
deayor for the success of both home

JUSTUSENTERS RACE
Sheriff Wit Seek a Third Term
In Office.

Sheriff Phil c. Justus formally en-
tered the race for third nomination
for the Office he now holds yesterday
afternoon, when he filed with the
county auditor his declaration of in
tention to become a candidate for sher-
iff on the Republican ticket.
Sheriff -Justus has served two terms,
or will have done so when his present
term expires in January. The only
other candidate on the Republican
ticket at the present time is Charles
Reichow, deputy in Sheriff Justus'
office, although a number of other as
pirants are expected to file in. the near
future.
Among the prospective candidates on
the Republican side are David Gray
county commissioner, and Ed B. Lott,
a former county commissioner, but at
the present time employed in the state
labor bureau. Mr.. Gray announced
yesterday that he would probably file
next week, and Mr. Lott said he ex-
pected to file as soon as he returned
from trip throughout the state, which
will be about two weeks.
Anton Miesen is the only Democrat
who has filed for the. nomination thus
far, but others have announced their
intention of doing SO, and it is expected
that the field will be a large one be-
fore the filing time expires.
In view. of the fact that Charles
Reichow is a candidate opposing his
chief, it has been rumored that Deputy
Relchow would be dismissed from the
position he now holds by. the grace of
Sheriff Justus, but Sheriff Justus
brands the rumor as groundless.
81 have no objection to Mr. Reichow
filing for the office 1 now hold, said
the sheriff yesterday. .;and / have never
for moment entertained any idea of
letting him out. He has the same right
to make the race as any other person,
and should he or any other Republican
win out they will have my hearty sup
port"
