PUTS BULLET IN HEAD
Carsten Stuhr Shoots Himself
at Depot, but Viii Recover

Stepping from the Great Northern
coast train at the union depot at 1880
O'Clock last night, CarSten Suhr, a
passenger en- route from Monroe,
Wash. to Germany, drew a revolver
from his pocket, leveled it at his head
and fired. The bullet entered Stuhr's
head above the right ear and he fell
to the platform unconscious.
Passengers and trainmen who had
alighted from the train ran to the man
and call was sent to the central po-
lice stations for the ambulance. 1t re-
sponded and the man was taken to the
city hospital.
He. was revived and an examination
of the wound revealed that it was not
serious and the physicians said that
Stuhr will recover. He was able to
speak, but refused to tell why he had
shot himself. -,
About. the mans waist was found a
belt in which numerous gold coins
were seWed. Physicians estimated that
the man carried over $4,000 in cash.
One of his first thoughts on recovering
when he was, shown it lying upon a
| chair in the operating room he appear
ed much relieved.
Stuhr, who is forty Eight years old,
said he had no relatives in this coun-
try, and that he was on his way to
Germany. He said he had been West
ten years and had made a pile and was
going back home.
When asked why me shot himself
when he had all that money he shook
his head and refused to answer. All
attempts to get from him a reason for
his deed were unavailing. Passengers
on the train said he had been acting
impatiently as the train approached ST.
Paul, and asked several times how soon
it would reach the city, ,ss -

IT WILL BE WARMER
Predicted Frosts Were Averted
by Brisk Wind

!. Warmer weather is promised for to-
day. after the abnormally chilly spell
Of the past two days. While frosts were
promised for last night, the weather
bureau gave out a prediction which
stated that relief was in sight.
At midnight the frost had failed to
n1aterialize. the temperature being 46
above zero. Tuesday night, for which
frosts were. also promised, the mer-
curry did not fall below AZ degrees.
From that point it mounted and the
highest it reached yesterday was 58
during the afternoon. 1t sank grad
sually, taking decided fall about Il
5 O'Clock.
. C1earsweather, with rising tempera-
lures, was reported from nearly all
Stations in the Northwest last night.
The only points visited by frosts Tues
day night were Huron and Redfield, S.
D., and North Platte, Neb. Tempera-.
lures ranged dangerously near the
freezing point throughout Minnesota,
however, and Weather Observer Oliver
said that frosts were averted by a
brisk wind which was blowing.

FIRST WARD KICKS
Improvement Association
Threatens Telephone Poles

The First Ward Improvement asso-
the meeting of the board of fire COM
missioners last evening, securing the
promise of assistance from the board
for the removal of the telephone poles
on Payne avenue, and an agreement
that the Payne avenue station will be
given an engine if the department Sc
cures an additional appropriation.
Swan A. Ponthan, asking for the re-
moval of the poles, said the citizens
had been waiting for year, but had
received only promises. In an inter-
view the members of the committee
had had with the manager of the
Northwestern Telephone company
earlier in the day, the manager had
stated that the poles carried no other
live wires than those used for the fire
alarm system.
I'VE are discouraged" he declared,
"and l am instructed to tell the mem
bers of the fire board that if the poles
are not removed the people will them
selves cut them down, fire protection
or no fire protection. They have sim
ply reached the point where they will
not 1onged stand delay
Commissioner Freeman thought this
rather an arbitrary assertion, but
Commissioner Schweizer and Aid. Ny
berg Gained the situation, and the del
egation was ultimately satisfied with
the promise of the commissioners that
they would at. once act in the matter
and see that the alarm wires are put
under ground and the poles removed.
President Warner was put in. charge.
D. Hammergren and John H
Korngable spoke for the installation Of
a new engine in the station at Payne
avenue and York street, contending
that the district has insufficient fire
protection. President Warner stated
that there was no question that the
district is entitled to an engine, and
said that the board would furnish it if
the charter amendment giving the de-
partment an increased appropriation is
passed.
Aid. Nyberg thought fire alarm
box should be installed at Edgerton
street and Brainerd avenue. The re-
quest was referred to Chief Jackson.

FIRE COMMISSIONERS
SHIFT ALARM FORCE
Raise Salaries. but Make Appointments on
Same Allowance

IS
1t required, the board of fire commits
sioners an hour last evening to effect
the reorganization of the. fire alarm sys-
tenn incident to the resignation of one of
the operators, but I'M the end Supt, Neary's
recommendations were. adopted With this
result:
Operators Nugent and Colbert had their
salaries increased from $50 to s65 a
month; Lineman Morrison was transferred
from lineman to operator, and his salary
fixed at s65 a month; and James Birch
was appointed. iineman at $50 month
The result was that the monthly cost Of
the four men will remain the same that
it was, $255 month
The recommendation of Supt. Neary did
not for some time meet with the APP
proyal of President Warner and Commits
siener Kelly, but in the end they voted
with the other members in making the
appointment and providing for the other
salaries. ,si.4isa

LAUNDRY DRIVER CAN
RUN FOR CORONER
Court Denies coroner MilIer's
Action for Removal OLA. P.
MlIIer's Name From Ballot

The application Of. DR.. Arthur w.
Miller, coroner of Ramsey county, To
have the name of App Miller stricken
from the Democratic primary election
ballot, was. denied yesterday afternoon
by Judge Brill in the district court.
A. p. Miller, who filed for coroner, is
the driver of a laundry wagon, and
filed some time ago for the nomination
for coroner on the Democratic ticket.
DR.. A. w. Miller contended that the
filing had been made for the purpose
of confusing names which would re-
suit in his losing votes and possibly
the nomination, even though it We're
the intention of the majority of voters
to vote for him.
The motion was argued Tuesday and
submitted. Yesterday morning Judge
Brill summoned Attorneys c. d.
O'Brien and Bartas representing DR. A
w. Miller and A. P. Miller, respectively,
to his chambers and rendered an oral
decision. I'm 80
Coroner. Mould Prefix "Dr."
At this junctnre Mr.. O'Brien inter
posed with a request that in view OF
the confusion likely to erise over the
question of names, his client be al
lowed to go on the ticket with the pre-
fix DR. inserted before the name to
distinguish. the. two Millers.
Mr.. Barta objected to this and called
the courts attention to- the fact thar
that question was not involved in the.
case, and opposed such change. Judge
Brill fastened to assure him of the
fact that he did not have anything to
say about the matter at all. He said
further that the petition did not really
cover that point, but Mr. O'Brien in
terposing, asked leave to amend the
petition, directing the auditor to print
the name of the petitioner on the bal
lot DR. A. We Miller as the applica-
ton had been fled in that name.
Judge Brill stated that he thought
that he would grant it. Later in the
afternoon, however, he called in the
court reporter and dictated a decision,
in which he denied the application of
DIR. Miller to have the name of A. P.
Miller stricken from the ballot but
said nothing touching on-the subject of
the title Or" being prefixed to the
present coroner's name.
County Auditor Krahmer said last
night to T he Clio b that as he I'M
sderstood the matter Judge Brill had
ordered nothing definite on that point
and thought that the matter was left
to his discretion. In view OF that fact,
the ballots would be printed as orig
inally intended, without the prefix, al
lowing the name of A. p. Miller to re-
main. Late yesterday afternoon the
printers were ordered to go ahead with
the. printing of the ballots, which was
done, and the names will now appear as
before, A.. w. Miller and A. P. Miller.
