DROPPED HISTORY AND.
SUCCEEDED WITH CATS
Unique Success Scored by Pro
lessor Julius Adam of Munich,
Now Visiting in Minneapolis.

Professor Julius Adam of Munich
who is the guest Of Robert Koehler,
director Of the Minneapolis School Of
Fine Arts is much gratifed with the
evidence he finds of art appreciation
in America. The art school is prepar-
ing for it's closing exhibition next week
and Professor Adams has acted on the
jury of awards to adjudge the prizes
for the year. In this way he has had
a good opportunity of seeing the pu-
pills work and he Is as much amazed
as he is pleased at the results achieved
in this new country under the direc-
ton of his former Munich colleague.
It was thru Mr.. Koehler that Pro-
fessor Adam found his artistic meter.
He was, as young man, a painter of
ambitious, big historical canvases,
into which he put much thought and
hard, conscientious work. These the
public did not appreciate sufficiently to
give him. the support necessary for
success and comfort. He had a lik-
ing for cats and for his own amuse-
ment recorded some Of their interest
ing characteristics with his brush. Mr..
Koehler saw one OF these little pic
lures as he was about to make a trip
to New York, and asked to be allowed
to take it along to sell. He found no
trouble in selling it and 1t made hit
with a dealer. Since that time the
demand for Professor Adams cat pic
lures has been SO great that he has

BANDITS WORKED.
WHEN VICTIMS TURNED THEY
WE'RE PROMPTLY sLUGGED.
The Robbers Were Three in Number
and Were Masked and Peremptory
- They Secured About SIS from the
Saloon of Christ Nelson.

Three masked men entered the sa-
loon of Christ Nelson, 328 Eleventh
avenue S, last night, and after Sc
verely beating Ed Anderson, the bar
away with about SIS in cash. The
police were notified at once but could
find no trace Of the highwaymen.
Anderson and the porter were sit
ting in the office at the end of the
bar shortly before midnight, when
they heard some one walk up to the
cigar stand. Both looked up and
muzzle Of a large revolver. The
porter made q, grab to get the weapon
but, hearing a sound back OF him,
turned and found another gun point
ing at him from the opposite direc-
ton. Seeing that the robbers had the
drop on them, both men walked quiet
ly out Of the office and, as command
ed, took their places at the end of the
bar, facing the wall.
AS the two robbers stood at the bar,
third masked man entered and while
two guarded the saloon men, the third
turned to the cash register. He took
all of the cash from the drawer and as
he was doing so, Anderson turned in
his direction.
Slug him. commanded the robber
at the cash drawer, and one of the
other bandits struck Anderson a
heavy blow with his revolver, at the
same time telling him to keep his face
turned to the wall.
The work Of looting the cash
drawer continued but curiosity was
too much for the porter and he turned
to see what was going on. Again the
command came to slug, and the
porter was nearly knocked to the floor
by the butt of revolver. After that
the saloonmen kept their faces turned
to the wall until the robbers were
about to leave the place, when they
again tried to see what was going on
Keep your faces turned away OF
TIL blow your -- heads off," shouted
one of the men, and an instant later
the sounds Of retreating footsteps
could be heard on the sidewalk as the
robbers dashed away.

.AMES' FATE AGAIN
IN JURORS HANDS
CASE CLOSES AFTER DEFENSE
MAKES FUTILE MOTIONS.
The Former Mayors Attorney Says
He'll Begin Habeas Corpus Pro-
ceedings in Case His Client Is Con-
victed Verdict Expected by To-

Before night the fate Of former
Mayor A. "A. AmeS, charged with &C
cepting bride, will be, for the second
time, left in the hands of a jury of his
peers.
County Attorney f.. H. Boardman
addressed the jury this morning. e.
s. Cary is presenting the defendants
case this afternoon and is allowed
until 1870, after which the judge will
deliver his charge, and the jury will
retire. A verdict is hardly expected
by either side before tomorrow morn
ing.
Judge Elliott this morning an
nounced that he would instruct the
jury that there had been no former
conviction proved. Mr.. Cary insists
that the court is In error on this point
and said this morning: IF DR.. Ames
Is convicted I will get out a writ Of
habeas corpus This is considered
practically impossible. however, as
the defendants only relief in the case
of conviction is an appeal to the
supreme court.
Three Motions Turned Down.
j. H. Martin, at the opening of
court this morning interposed and ar
gued a motion that the court instruct
the jury to return a verdict of not
guilty. The grounds upon which the
motion was urged were Identical with
those upon which Mr.. Cary argued
at the close of the states case.
Judge G. B. Elliott promptly over
ruled the motion.
Defendants counsel then interposed
a second motion that the court find
the defendant not guilty on the ground
that the states witnesses, Gardner and
Brown, were accomplices and thai
their testimony had not been corrob-
GRATED, and a third motion for a di-
rected verdict on the ground that the
crime proved, if any, was extortior
and not bribery. Both Of these mo-
| lions were denied.
| IT wish to move further that the
| court submit to this jury whether OF
not this defendant was in jeopardy by
| former conviction" said Mr.. Martin.
THAT question I shall have to de.
termine as matter Of law" said
Judge Elliott. There being no con.
troversy as to the evidence shall di.
rect the jury that there has been nc
former conviction or in other words
that they will have to find against you
on that Plea
Mr.. Boardman then rose to address
the jury. After CONNIE nting briefly
upon the eminent fairness with which
the prosecution Of the case against
DR.. Ames had been conducted, he en-
tered into a. careful and exhaustive
review Of the evidence.
