HITCHES HIS HORSE
TO RICE PARK TREE
Police Seize the Rig and Mr.. Fisehbers
Must Explain in Court.

David Fischberg paid the penalty
yesterday of treating the police depart
ment and the law with contempt.
He had some business to transact in
the federal building during the after
noon, and disregarding the warning of
citizen that the police would get after
him if he tethered his horse and cart
to a sapling on the north sidewalk of
Rice park The horse Immediately set
about assimilating the tree, but the
owner, rudely answering the civilians
repeated warning that police officer
was approaching, disappeared within
the building.
Lieut.. Horn was crossing the park
at the time, and when he had sufi-
GENTLY recovered from the shock Of
seeing city property ruined by hum
cry horse, he jumped into the cart and
drove off to the station pursued by the
irate Fischberg. At the station Fisch-
berg was allowed to go home on his
own recognizances to appear before
Judge F'inehout on Monday next.

But you cannot take away from me the
arbitrary power. It is given me by law,
and I think that this limit is an unneces-
Sary imputation that the health depart
ment must be checked. Why. the CHER
of the fire department possesses unlimited
power. If there is4a big fire and in his
to blow down buildings he does not have
to appeal to the council before acting. II
his action is unnecessary he is subject to
punishment. It is Necessary that he pos
SeSS arbitrary power, just as it is neceS-
sary that have like power.
The doctor also asked that $1,000 a
year, instead Of $4,000, be allowed for
the collection of garbage. He called
attention to the necessity of putting
vacant lots in a. sanitary condition and
contended that considering the growth
of the city he should be allowed at
least the amount that he asked.
In the absence of the corporation
attorney no action was taken.
A First ward delegation was present
to protest against the assessment OF
residence property for the paving Of
main thoroughfares. desiring. to nave

hibiting the board Of public works

PARKER IS INDICTED
The Grand Jury Charges Man.
slaughterFirst in Degree.

The January grand jury, which re-
sumed it's sessions last Tuesday. after
a rest of several weeks, made its first
report yesterday afternoon to Judge
Jaggard, in the criminal division of the
district court. AS predicted by T h e
Globe yesterday a number Of in
dictments were returned.
Six of the indictments returned yes
terday morning were against persons
already in custody and were made
public in court. There were five secret
indictments, one Of which was made
public later in the day, when DR.. c. P.
Artz was arrested. Two mo bills were
returned.
The grand jury, after it's report had
been received by the court, announced
that it had farther Investigations to
make, and was continued in session by
Judge Jaggard, although it will not
resume its sessions until March II. In
the meantime a number of committees
will investigate public offices and in
situations.
One of the most important indict-
ments returned and made public yes
terday morning was against David
Parker, the young colered man who is
under arrest for the killing of Fred
Watson on Feb. IS. Parker is charged
by the Indictment with manslaughter
in the first-degree. The charge is made
that Parker struck the deceased with
an iron bar, without just cause or
provoeation. Parker was employed in
a livery stable conducted by young
Watson's father, at Merriam Park, and
he claimed to have acted in self de-
tense. He said at the time of his ar
rest that Watson had been in the habit
of nagging him, and that he struck him
with the iron bar because he had drawn
a revolver on him.
An indictment was returned against
Carl SeXton;~indicted for grand larceny
in the second degree. Sexton is charg-
ed with stealing material from the
American Electric. company. Other in

rious offenses of larceny in different
places.

quarreled in saloon at Cannon Falls,
and Swanson, after coming to st. Paul,
died from the effects of blow in the
face supposed to have been admins
tered by Season.
James H. Hurl, charged with the ma
licious destruction of property, was also
exonerated He was charged with kill
ing dog belonging to Frank Cyr. Hurl

RETURNS A BILL
AGAINST DR.. ARTz
Grand Jury Finds Indictment
Accusing Him With Man
slaughter.

DR.. Charles p. Artz, practicing
physician living at 221 Pennsylvania
avenue, was arrested late yesterday
afternoon by Deputy Sheriff Hardick
on a secret indictment returned by the
grand jury yesterday forenoon, in
which the physician is charged with
manslaughter in the first degree.
The charge is in connection with the
death of Esther Gill, who died Jan. 20,
following an operation some days be-
fore.
DR.. Artz was taken before Judge
Jaggard, in the criminal division Of the
district court, shortly before o'clock
yesterday evening, where his bonds
were placed at $4,000. He was repre-
scented in court by T. D. O'Brien, and
a plea of not guilty was entered.
George A. Binder and George A.
Reyes signed the bond and DR.. Artz
was given his liberty pending the trial
of the case.
The indictment charges that DIR.
Artz, on Jan. 8, performed criminal
operation on Esther Gill, which caused
her death on Jan. 90.
At the coroner's inquest, which fol-
lowed the girls death, there was con-
siderable evidence which pointed to
DR.. Artz as having had something to
do with the case. The verdict return
ed by the coroner's jury contained a
recommendation that the matter be in
vestigated by the grand jury.
DR.. Artz, when he appeared in court,
had nothing to say, permitting his at
torney to do all the talking, and last
night at his home on Pennsylvania
avenue, it was stated that there was
nothing the doctor cared to say for
publication.
He has retained c. D. O'Brien as his
attorney, but was represented in court
yesterday by T. D. OBrien, the former
being unable to be present on ac-
count of other business.

|FRNST'S VICTIMS IN
A SORRY PLIGHT
Mortgages Will Have Difficulty
in Distinguishing Genuine
From Forged Mortgages.

One of the first of what promises to
be a long series of lawsuits involving
the crooked transactions of Casper
Ernst, the former st. Paul broker and
banker, now serving time at Saltwater
for forgery, was an action for foreclo-
sure brought in the district court yes
terday against Joseph and Anna Lun-
ger, r. L. Ware, as trustee in bank
ruptcy of Casper Ernst, and A. Link.
The suit is brought by Alice Matter, to
whom the mortgage originally made to
Ernst was assigned.
It is claimed by the LunZers that
their mortgages and notes were as
signed to several different parties, and,
although paid in full the mortgage has
never been satisfied. The defense will
claim that forged notes and mortgages
were assigned, none of which can be
held against them for the reason that
they have already paid the amount due
on the property.
This is only one of hundred or more
cases which are expected to find their
way into the courts, and it will be
watched with much interest by the
people who are involved in the Ernst
IFdnSdcllOIS. UPON the u6ClSlOH III
this case rests the liability for thou
sands of dollars.
Should the defendants show to the
court that their notes and mortgages
had been forged and assigned to diff
ferent parties, it is believed by some
that the court would not insist upon
the parties picking out the original and
genuine paper.
In this event, if it could not be de-
cided which were the forged and which
were the genuine notes and mortga ges,
the holders of both the good and bad
paper would be the losers and the mort
gagors would be the gamers.
Inasmuch as there are SO many cases
of similar nature, where the claim
is made that the mortgages and notes
have been paid, and even in cases
where no such claim. is made, where it
can be shown that mortgaged assign
ments and notes are in existence, the
first of these cases to be tried will be
of the utmost Importance.
1t is estimated that the crooked meth
DDS employed by the former banker
yielded something more than 100000,
and it remains for the courts to deter
mine who is to lose all Of this money.
The assets left by Ernst amount to
practically nothing and the people who
dealt with Ernst will have to fight 1t
out among themselves.

At the meeting of the charter COM
mission last evening the personal feel
ing that exists between Health Com
missioner Ohage and F. B.. Doran was
made manifest. This feeling Is said
to have been developed by the remark
of Dr. Ohage that the political aspira-
lions of Mr.. Doran were among the
dead and buried.
Mr.. Doran wanted more definite in
formation as to the income Of the
health department from the sale Of
garbage, and DR.. Ohage said that the
receipts amounted to SLIGO last year
and would possibly reach $1,000 the
present year. While DR.. Ohage was
ON his feet he did some plain talking,
saying:
proposed amendments to the charter to
which | take serious objection. The prin-
cipal one is the provision specifying that
the health commissioner shall spend but
81, 900 in case of an epidemic of contagious
disease. I think that provision is wrong,
uncalled for, and should be stricken out.
For myself 1 do not care, for l would act
for the interest of the public and depend
upon the necessary bills being paid, but
L would dislike to see my successor tied
in this manner The health commissioner
is under bonds and if he should do any
thing wrong, prosecute him and collect
back the money from the bondsmen.
Several of the members explained
that the amendment was prepared by
the corporation attorney, upon the sug-
gestion that the charter, as it now
stands, gives the health commissioner
the power to contract an unlimited in
debtedness in case of an epidemic.
Mr.. Doran was in evidence with the
statement that he did not believe that
any city official should be intrusted
with the arbitrary power to spend I'M
limited sums. particularly as meetings

Of control will await the return of Gov.
Van SAINT to the state before making
public any statement of it's findings in
the Wolfer matter. The board is the
creation of the executive of the state,
and, while appointments to the super
intendency of any of the state institu-
tions are made by the board of con-
troll. Gov. Van SAINT is generally con-
suited before the final selection is
made. In investigating the conduct of
an officer it is not at all improbable
that the inverse of the rule would ap-
ply and that the board of control
would hesitate to put the ban Of it's
diSapproval-if it found facts sufficient
to warrant such action-on an official
before permitting the governor to in
Spect its findings. Gov. Van SAINT went
to Chicago last week and has not yet
returned, but it is said that he will
be at his office either Monday or Tues
day of next week.
The Friday morning CT b was a
popular edition in Saltwater, where the
news stands and book stalls were, in a
very brief time, sold out of double the
usual number of papers sent them, and
all day the dealers were deluged with
requests for copies of the paper which
could not be supplied. While Stillwa-
ter people were in measure prepared
for the sensational statement of w. 3.

and naturally looked for any develop
ments in the case to come through
T h G ! o b e, they were amazed at the
thoroughness with which Mr.. Jordan
went into the details of the awarding
of the contract and of the recital of the
connection Of two of their own promi-
nent citizens with it. Many compli-
mentary things were said of the enter
prise Of h e G. o b e, though business
men of the Prison City are naturally
guarded in their public utterances when
men are involved who are prominent
in business affairs.
Warden Wolfer has been at the Still
water penitentiary since 1892, with
vacation of something less than two
years when Col. Reeve was in charge
of the institution, and while 1t is said
that he came to the prison from Joliet,
ILL.,, a comparatively poor man, he is
now rated as one Of the most substan-
tial of Saltwater citizens, either in prf-
vate or public life. He has number or
outside interests, chief of which is the
vice presidency of the Northwest
Thresher company, corporation capt.
talized at $750,000 and naturally he Is
a heavy stakeholder The threasher
company's plant is opposite the prison
on Main street, and is one of the larg-
est manufacturing concerns in Mime
sofa, and was mainly developed through
prison labor.
r. N. Bronson is vice president of the
First National Bank of Saltwater, and
he is prominent in the business and So
cial life of the community. There are
several members of the Bronson family
and they have investments in almost
every line of business in the city.

RADICAL CHANGE
IN PENSION PLAN
SOLDIERS HOME TRUSTEES con-
FORM TO NEW Law.
No Pensions Will Be Diverted to Sup
port OF the Home, but the Executive
Committee Will Direct the DISPOSE
ton of the Pension in Each Case.

The trustees of the Soldiers Home
met to-day at the home and made a
radical change in the administration
of inmates pensions, in order to con-
form with the sundry service bill OF
April 49, 1904, so that the home might
secure the federal aid offered in that
measure.
Under the old system the board
could keep all but 81 Of the monthly
pension of each inmate, and devote
this to the maintenance Of the home.
Congress did not want pensions used
in this way, but desired that the
money go to the pensioners.
The plan they suggest for institu-
lions desiring federal aid is that the
management designate how much
shall be given to each Inmate for his
own incidental expenses, and how
much shall go to his family or de-
|pendents. the remainder to be held
in trust by the home authorities and
given to the pensioner when he Is dis
charged. This Is the rule that will be
put into effect at the Minnesota home
by the resolution passed to-day. The
executive committee will decide In
each case how much the pensioners
may receive.
