MIDNIGHT ASSAULT on LAD.
Stranger Leaps at Frank Peters
From Dark Alley.
Grabs Him by the Neck But Young
Printer Breaks Away.
Marks Still on Neck Showing Vic
lence Of the Attack.

Leaping out at him from dark al
ley at the hour of midnight, strange
man grabbed Frank Peters BY the neck
Tuesday of last week and but for the
young mans determined resistance
and quickness in extracting himself
from the grasp, might have inflicted
severe injuries.
Peters is about seventeen years old
and is employed as a compositor in
the News Office. Tuesday night he at
tended party at the home of a friend
and was returning to his home on
North Broadway shortly after twelve
O'Clock. He lives between Sixth and
Seventh streets and from Minnesota
street turned up Sixth street. Just as
he was passing the alley a man Of
medium size and with moustache ran
out, jumped over a low fence which
was in the way, and before the young
man knew what was up he had grabbed
him by the neck with such force as to
break the skin and leave marks which
have not yet gone away.
Peters was frightened, naturally, but
leaped forward, twisting to one side as
he did so, and freed himself from his
assailant. He then quickly drew his
pocket knife and waited for the stranger
to make another attack. The man,
however, had changed his mind and
instead of renewing his assault, turned
and ran in the other direction. Seeing
this Peters also turned and ran home
at his best gait.
Who the stranger was and what was
his purpose in waylaying the young
printer is not known and Peters him
self can give no explanation. He says
he knows of no one who would want to
injure him and thinks it must have
been one of the boys at the party who
wanted to play a joke on him.
Still there was no one at the party
answering closely to the description
given by the young man and it is pos
sible that it was someone who meant
to do him bodily harm, or. some men
tally unbalanced man. Speculation
along this line has given life to all
sorts of theories and has struck fresh
terror into the hearts of late pedes-
trians.

CARSON WILL FACE ARSON CHARGE
Must Stand Trial for the Second Time in Olivia
Court.

Hugh Carson, accused of the burn
ing of the Phoenix mills in Fairfax
last February and tried once on that
charge, when the jury disagreed, is to
be tried a second time in Olivia at the
present term of court in Renville

The case has sensational features

There was a petition circulated to have
the indictment nolled, but it was not
largely signed. At the first trial the
jury was out forty-eight hours.

SUPPOSED WIFE ALREADY MARRIED
Redwood Falls Man Figures in Sensational Divorce
Proceedings.

Charles @. Gilfllan of Redwood
Falls has at last ridded himself of the
woman whom he supposed was his
wife but whom he afterwards found to
be married to another man yet living.
On July l, 1902, Gillfllan went
through the nuptial forms at Rock
ford, ILL.,, with a woman, who claimed
to be unmarried. The course of love.
seemed to run smoothly for a time be-
tween the two, but after a time an es-
arrangement began to show itself, and
a complete separation occurred. Mr.,
Gillian claims in his complaint that
on May lst Of this year he made the
startling discovery that the woman,
whom he had supposed to be his wife,
was already married to one Charles
B. Zimmerman. At that time he had
not lived with her for one year.
In her answer, the woman insisted
that her true name was Katherine Nina
Gil6llan. She admitted having been
married to Zimmerman, but cites de-
cree of divorce that this Zimmerman
obtained from her in the court of COM
mon pleas at Lebanon, Penn. She
also claims that plaintiff had full
knowledge of the former marriage and
divorce. She further alleges that Mr.
Gillian requested her consent that he
live temporarily apart from her.. mas
much as his parents did not approve
of his marriage to her, and threatened
to disinherit him if something were not
done to break it off; and that he as
sured her that he would again live
with her as soon as he could reconcile
his parents to his SO doing. She
placed his wealth at more than $3.50, :
600 and asked for alimony in the
amount of $3.50 per month, besides
$500 for attorneys fees.
In his reply the plaintiff placed his
wealth, after deducting the total
amount of his indebtedness, at about
SIC, 900. He also alleged that the Lee
pdHoA couft nad no duGnOrlty to grant
the Zimmerman divorce.
It was on this last question that the
whole case hinged. The evidence was
taken before Judge Webber at cham
bers, in New Ulm on Nov. Sd last.
Last Friday morning the Judge filed
his decree to the effect that the Leban-
I Z
on court had no authority to grant
the divorce in the Zimmerman case
and that therefore the defendant is
still the wife of Zimmerman and never
was the wife of Gilfillan. Hence the
woman has no right to any Of the
property Of the plaintiff.

COUNTY IS MUCH OFFENDED
Commissioners Hurt by Action OF
Mass Meeting.
May Withdraw From Case il Com.
mittee Is Success.
Latter Is Greiyed at the Hard
Feeling Stirred Up.

The citizens committee appointed at
the mass meeting of Saturday night
may find itself not only acting inde-
pendently of the county authorities in
the ferreting out of the murderer of
DR.. Gebhardt, but may find itself
alone in the work. The county COM
missioners are piqued and it is
possible that if the committee finds
that it can prosecute the work of
running down the criminal alone, they
will withdraw from the case and leave
the committee free hand.
The commissioners take the action
Of the mass meeting not only as slap
at the county attorney but as a slap
at themselves. Not one of them was
consulted in regards to the meeting,
they say, and they had no idea of it's
purpose until the meeting was under
way.
Immediately after the crime was
committed the commissioners, who
were in session, took action and
Andrew j. Eckstein, the chairman of
the board, personally guaranteed the
pay of the Pinkerton detectives whom
the county employed, as the agency
was not willing to take the word of the
county alone. The county has spent
considerable money and has obtained
some valuable clues and evidence as a
result, and the commissioners feel
was nothing less than a charge that
they have been spending the peoples
money without results.
This is the way the commissioners
feel and may result in withdrawal
from the case. On the otherhand
County Attorney Hoidale, who natural
ly would feel the action most keenly as
a reflection on himself, is making no
comments, and is keeping steadily on
with the work as he had it previously
mapped out. When asked by the
Review representative to make some
statement he said simply:
IT have nothing to say"
Mayor Charles Silverson and the
other members of the committee also
have grievance. They think that
objections to the mass meeting should
have been made at the meeting itself,
and since there was not a Dissenting
voice, they took it for granted that
there were no objections and went
ahead with their proposed action.
Mayor Silverson feels especially
hurt by the criticism that has sprung
up and in discussing the matter with
the Review expressed himself freely.
II hope there will be no hard feel
ing" he said, 1--WE want the assistance
of everybody. No reflections on MIR.
Hoidale or on the commissioners or on
anyone else were cast at the meeting
and none were intended I think any
one who was at the meeting will testify
to this. We want money to prosecute
the work and information from those
who know even the least scraps of in
formation bearing on the case. Ii we
are supported I am willing to say
positively that we will get the MUIR
derer.'

Great Irrigation Works.

The town of Yuma, which has always worn the reputation of being one of the hottest places in the United States, is to have another feature 70 make her famous. Twelve miles north of Yuma, on the Colorado, the gov ernment will build a reservoir, which will rival the one now building at Fonto Basin. A gov ernment party visited Yuma this week to inspect the site and make final plans for the work. Those who composed 1t were: F. H. Newell of Washington, chief engineer of the ReClama- tion Service; A. J Davis, J. B. Lippincott and MT. Hamlin of the Geological Survey; Morris Bicn, attorney for the Interior Department; Hall, consulting engineer; Judge Joseph H Kibbey and B. A. Fowler of the Salt River Valley Water Users As sociation, accompanied by the Board ot Governors of the Colo rado River Water Users Associa- tion; prominent citlzens of Yuma and Col. Randolph of the South ern Pacific The visiting party went up the river and inspected the size. In the evening mass mceung was held in Yuma, at which Mir. Newell, Mir. Lippin- colt, B. A Fowler and Wm E. Smythe delivered addresses, dealing with the possibilities of the Colorado.
 The diversion works consists of d dam to be constructed across
Snips and the St. Johns herald., 1904-06-11


 ten miles UT the river from Yuma, and of canals leading therefrOm on both banks of the river, one into Arizona and one into California.
 "The dam will be about 4700 feet long and will be of rock, concrete and steel. Its crest will be ten feet above low water mark of the river. The slope of the dam on the down stream will be about twelve feet Horizontal to one foot vertical, making a very flat slops. At the foot of the dam, on the down stream side, will be rock and concrete apron extending fifty feet down stream. The great lenght of this dam provides such an ample spillway that the depth of water going over 1t at norma stages will be comparatively slight and the current above 1t greatly reduced in velocity. Both ends of the dam will be in solid rock. At each end of the dam there will be gates opening into large settling basins, either in the natural rock or in solid masonry ! These basins will be about 5000 feel long and of much greater width than the canals they feed.
 "The canal on the California side IS designed to, supply about Is, ,O00 acres of land belonging tC the Indians. A plan for the allotment of the land to the Indians has been provided. Thi; canal will have a capacity O. about 200 cubic feet of water pel . second, or expressed in miners inches, as we are accustomed tC that unit of volume, about 5000 inches. The canal on the Ari zona side, designed to supply the settlers about Yuma, will have |; capacity of about 1900 cubic feet or about 10000 inches and vii . snnnlN water for between 70. .0Ol
