LIVE WIRES LIGHT UP
WEST SIDE STREETS
Bancroft Street Steps Are DISTRACTED
by Storm Struck Conductors.

The lives of scores Of pedestrians on
the West side were endangered last
night by live wires which had fallen
across the long row of steps on Ban
croft street, leading down from Pres
colt to Concord streets.
Luckily, the danger was discovered
before any person came in contact
with the heavily charged conductors
and there was no serious results. The
wires, which had fallen across the
steps in a tangle, were emitting blue
sparks of warning, when H. P. Keller
started up the stairway shortly after
8 o'clock. Mr.. Keller made a closer
examination and convinced himself
that the wires were a dangerous thing.
Leaving a man to guard the stair
way, Keller called out the fire depart
ment and had the danger removed. 1t
was sometime before department ar
rived and Keller was compelled to
stand in the rain for almost half an
hour, warning people not to go up or
down the steps,.
By the time the wires were removed
fifty or more people had congregated,
being held up on one side or the other
of fallen wires.

PLAY PARK DELAYED
BY A LUMBER PILE
City Engineer Refuses to Re.
move Stores From GauItier
and Thomas Streets.

If workshop and lumber pile be-
longing to the city engineers depart
ment cannot be removed, the projected
childrens park and public playground
at GauItier and Thomas streets will be
blocked.
The ground set aside for the park
has been used as a city yard, where
supplies and implements of the city

City Engineer Rundlett, when asked
by members of the playground COM

did not see his way clear to move I'M

was pointed out, the work of prepar-
ing the park cannot be carried on.
Funds Show Shortage.
The committee also faces a shortage
of funds, and may be required to call
for subscriptions from the public in
order to fit out the playground. Ac-
cording to a plan prepared by Arthur
Leland, the playground expert, who
has been secured by the committee to
equip the park, the cost of construct
ing fences, providing apparatus and
putting up buildings will amount to
$1,901, excluding the cost of a large
shelter house, which will amount to
about $500. Of the $4,000 set aside by

in dimension, and will include a large
open playground for boys games, such
as baseball, football and field sports;
q gymnasium for boys, including all
kinds of athletic apparatus; a basket

Presbyterian church since its organi-
cation and was for twenty years a rul-

NAMES ARBOR DAY
Governor indicates April 27 for
the Tree Planting.

Gov. Van SAINT has issued a procla-
nation designating Friday, April 81.
as Arbor day, and recommending that
the children of the public schools plant
trees, shrubs and vines on that day.
The proclamation recites that the state
IS fast becoming notorious for the
quantity and excellence of it's fruits.
The belief was generally prevalent a.
lew years ago that the climate of Min
nesota is unfavOrable for the growth
Of apples, but this has been dispeIIed
by the successful growth of large
orchards and the production of thou
sands of bushels of apples, plums and
cherries. The governor recommends
that fruit trees be planted and
carefully nurtured, and that Suitable
exercises be held in the schools that
the children may be taught to appre-
clate the beauty and utility of trees
ana the preservation of the song birds
that make their homes in their
branches.

STOCK NOT PRESENTED
UNTIL DELIVERED
Decision by Judge Sanborn Seizes Ger
tificates Husband Would Save.

A gift Of stock in a corporation is
without effect unless accompanied by
the certificates of stock, is the gist Of
a ruling made yesterday by Judge
Walter H. Sanborn, of the United
States court of appeals. The case in
which the point was developed was
that Of the Allen Vest Commission
company VS.. J. H. and Mary Crum-
bles, and it came up on appeal from
the circuit court Of Arkansas. The case
involved 10 shares of drug company
transferred by a husband to his wife
and voted for some years in his name.
When financially involved, the husband
made formal transfer of the stock GER
tif1cates to his wife. The Allen Vest
company later sought to recover a
judgment against the husband Of $751;
123, and garnished the wifes stock.
The decision has the effect of ordering
her to turn over the shares to the COM
mission company and is a reversal Of
the lower courts ruling.

THEY OFFER AN ALIBI
Men Charged With Robbery
Testify in Their Own Behalf.

zarembrinski and Prill. defendants
in the robbery case. now on trial he
tore Judge Kelly in the criminal
branch of the district court, had their
opportunity yesterday to testify in
their own behalf, and both went on
the stand.
The state finished its case early in
the day, and the latter portion of it's
testimony went very largely over the
same ground as had been covered on
the previous day. The circumstances
on the two hold-ups of the night of
March IL were reviewed in detail by
number of witnesses for the purpose
OF showing that the two men who
Stanpeded a crowd in JAMS saloon on
University avenue about $50 that
evening and stole the contents Of the
cash drawer and revolver were the
same who later in the night robbed
Michael SammOn and Thomas Downs.
one of the states witnesses, Bruno
Schultz, testified that he was in the
Jams saloon at the time of the robbery,
ana he was sure one of the robbers
was Pril. He said he could identify
Pr1II by his height and also by a crook
edness of one of his legs
There was introduced in evidence a
large black silk muller which Police
Officer BOerner testified he had found
on the person of Zarembrinski when he
arrested him.
First of the defendants to take the
stand was Zarembrinski, and he was
followed by Prill, or ProehI, as it has
now been found the mans name should
properly be spelled. Either way. the
pronunciation is practically the same,
and he is indicted under the name of
Prin.
The testimony of both men was de-
voted almost entirely to their move
ments on the day and the night Of the
robbery and explanation or contradic-
ton Of witnesses for the state as to
statements that Zarembrinski and
Proehl had made to them. The testi-
mony for the defense will be resumed
today

In this case the county attorney holds
that the testimony of the man who
witnessed the crime will be sufficient.
Arthur st. Martin is the man who saw
the shot fired, and who gave a graphic
description of the crime before the body
had been located. He is expected to
attend the inquest and testify.
Another interesting theory advanced
is that 1T will be difficult to prove in
what county Moberg died. The county
attorney disposes of this point with
the assertions that all that is
necessary is to prove when and
where the, shot that caused death
was fired. The alleged murderers must
therefore be tried in Steele county,
where it will be necessary to establish
a case, without leaving a doubt as to
the guilt Of the accused. Without the
testimony of st. Martin it is conceded
that the authorities would find it diff
cult to secure a conviction.
