MUSIC TN DEMAND
Park Board May Provide for More Con-
certS at Lake Harriet.

There will be no concert at Lake Har-
riet this evening, but there may be one
tomorrow night and every night during
remainder of August. ThecOntract be-
tween the park board and the neapolis
park band expired last evening, having
been extended a fortnight beyond the
original contract.
It is only within the last four or five
days that Minneapolis has had any real
summer and the result has been shown in
unusually large crowds at the concerts.
Inasmuch as summer appears to have
come for stay of two or three weeks it
is the opinion of many that the concerts
should be maintained as long as the
weather will permit. The matter can be
easily arranged.
Emil Oberhoffer, the founder and con-
ductor of the organization, said today that
the band could be kept together for an
other fortnight if the park board sa de-
sired The board will meet this evening
and consider the matter and it is believed
will arrange for concerts for the remain
der of the month.
The board will also give some attention
to the injunction suit brought by John
Cogan to restrain the park board from
| lowering the water in Lake of the Isles
by means of a connection between the
lake and the Minneapolis sewer system
| Superintendent w. M. Berry declares that
| the high stage of the water in the lake is
running much valuable park property
which was obtained by large expendi-
lures.

"At last the man who had taken
me to raise died and his wife turned
the farm over to her son. This son

work like a slave, and when I did
anything that didn't suit him he beat
me with a blacksnake. I still have

whip.

DIGS UP OLD AGREEMENT
NORTHERN PACIFIC ASKS COUN-
GIL EMBARRASSING CUES
TIONS IN SUIT OVER BRIDGE
CONSTRUCTION.

Embarrassing questions are asked
by the Northern Pacific Railway COM
pany of the city of Minneapolis in a
heart-to-heart talk over the suit
which the city has brought to compel
that railway and the Great Northern
to rebuild the bridge at University
and Twenty-ninth avenues NE, which
was destroyed by fire last fall. z
In a communication to the city
council, signed by L. T. Chamberlain,
assistant counsel for the road, atten-
ton is called to an ordinance of June
IA, 1900, by which the road is re-
quired to construct bridges over it's
tracks at Como avenue, Harvard street
and Union street. One of the terms
of this arrangement was that the road
should be exempt from any further
bridge construction for ten years.
Notwithstanding this agreement, the
city has brought an action to compel
the rebuilding Of the bridge, which,
altho it was burned, was practically
at the end Of it's life thru old age.
The company believes that it has
several defenses to the suit, but be-
fore proceeding wishes to present
squarely to the city council the ques-
ton whether or not it's agreements
are of any value

WOMAN PURSUES
And KILLS BEAR

people.

Fresno, Cal, Aug. 15.-Accom-
panied only by her dogs, Mrs. J. S.
Bradley of this city tracked a huge
bear thru the wilds of the Sierras in
the vicinity of Mineral King, and
ended the animals life with shot
from her rifle.
Mrs Bradley was camping with a
party at Big Meadows, near Mount
Whitney, and on Saturday last she set
out by herself on a hunt. A few miles
from camp she came upon the tracks
of a bear The people of Mineral
King had been terrorized for some
time by bear, and several attempts
had been made to kill it, but bruin
was always elusive and could not be
located.
Mrs. Bradley came upon the beast
after following the tracks for about
three miles. He was sitting on his
launches chewing a tuft of clover
but he promptly climbed a tree when
he saw the dogs. Mrs. Bradley fired
and the big bear came tumbling down
slightly wounded.
Directly at the woman he charged
But Mrs. Bradley bravely stood hel
ground, and when the bear was within
a few feet she fired another shot into
it's shoulder. Bruin fell over on the
ground dead. Mrs. Bradley has
brought the skin back to this city al
a souvenir.

TALKED OF ESTIMATES
BOARD OF CHARITIES AND COR
RECTIONS INVESTIGATE WORK
HOUSE, POOR DEPARTMENT
AND CITY HOSPITAL NEEDS.
AT a meeting .of fine board of chart

At meeting of the board Of chart
ties and corrections held this after
noon, estimates for the expense of
maintaining the city hospital work
house and poor department were con-
sidered. These departments asked for
$4,000 for maintenance during the
present year, but the head of every
department declares that he will show
surplus at the end of the present
year, which means that the depart
ments can be run for less. The board
of tax levy allowed the hospital $751;
600, the workhouse $4,000, and the
poor department $4,000.
The board will also look into the
question of improvements This year
the board is building an emergency
ward at the city hospital and a
woman's ward at the workhouse at a
cost of about $55,O0O. The city hos
pital still needs a place for incurables
and a modern ambulance service. The
offer Of w. H. Dunwoody to donate
land for a home for incurables is I'M
derstood to be still good.
- It has long been recognized that
arrangements should be made SO that
the city hospital ambulance could be
summoned as soon as the police patrol
wagon and this matter was discussed
this afternoon.

MOTHER
CREATES A SCENE
DRAMATIC FINALE OF INQUEST
IN BOROVsKY CASE.
Coroner's Jury Pronounces Thomas
Levine Biameiess for the Boys
Death, but the Mother Refuses to
Accept the Findings and Becomes
Hysterical.

Let me at the murderer! He killed
my baby boy!" shouted Mrs. Lazarus
T. BoroVsky, 821 Emerson avenue N,
at the county morgue this morning
as she tried to attack Thomas Levine,
accused by the Borovsky family of be-
ing responsible for Joseph Borovsky's
death.
Let me get hold of the brute that
beat my Joe!'' shouted the frenzied
woman, as she struggled vainly to
break loose from her husband and
her son.
Struggling desperately and scream
ing at the top of her voice, the mother
of the dead boy was forced into the
office of the county morgue, while
the morgue. Even then, friends of the
dead boy followed Levine as far as
the sidewalk and hurled anathenas
upon him as he walked away.
The scene took place at the close
of the inquest over the remains of
Joseph Brovsky, the 13-year-old son
of Lazarus t. Borovsky, who died at
the Swedish hospital Friday afternoon
The boy had been beaten by Thomas
Levine, July %. When he developed
case of appendicitis last Thursday
and died at the city hospital the next
day, his friends believed his illness due
to the beating and demanded an in
quest.
Several witnesses were sworn who
testified that they had seen Levine
chase the Borovsky boy and throw
him down. None Of them had seer
the boy kicked and none could tel
whether Levine placed his knee or
the boys stomach Drs. Charles M
Kistler William B. Murphy and Franl

testified that death had resulted from

any Injuries that the boy might hav
received July % could not have cause,
or, in any way, fastened his death.
After hearing the evidence, tn
coroners jury returned a verdict tina
death had resulted from peritoniti
and specifically exonerated Levin
frome all blame.

Little Bugs; Big Names.

Bacteria Of the present era are con-
siderably too small to be numbered
among the animals exhibited in circus
menagerie. A single one measures
from one to seven ,"microns.n A
micron is one-twenty thousandths
Of an inch. One seven microns in
length is "whopper.' This being
true, little dot of bacteria visible to
the naked eye in one of the board of
health s culture tubes, means the
presence of thousands of bacteria.
Most of the kinds of bacteria kept
in stock at the city board of health
have names whose length are not in
proportion to their size, but to the
trouble each class is able to create
And as this is considerable, their
names are accordingly lengthy.
For instance, in one culture tube re-
side the staphyloccocci. These are the
disturbers that frequently gathered in
festive festerings on the back of the
human neck, and are commonly known
as "boils.'I Following the rule of
''length Of name in proportion to trou-

LOOKS LIKE A MURDER
THE BODY OF A WEIL-DREsSED
MAN is FOUND NEAR MEN
DOTA.

The body of an unidentified man
was found lying by the roadside near
Mendoza yesterday with two bullet
wounds in his head. A revolver lay
near the body, but the coroner thinks
the wounds were not self-inaicted.
The pockets were empty and there was
nothing about the body by which it
could be identified.
The dead man was about 40 years
of age, we'll dressed in a gray mixed
suit and patent leather shoes. He
was about five feet eight inches tall
and weighed about $50 pounds.
Coroner Kramer of Dakota county
had the body removed to Hastings
and will hold an inquest
