HANGS FEDERAL JURY

The federal building man-trap
claimed eight victims today: H. V. Mer-
Ger, of the. law firm of Wilson g. Mer-
Ger, John. Grace bailiff 2of the federal
court, and six members of the federal
jury fell prey to the notorious elevator
and Judge Page Morris narrowly
escaped being one Of the number.
The elevator had just passed the sec
ond floor landing when the AUTOMATIC
safety sprung and the cage stopped
dead, holding it's passengers imprisoned
in full view Of the people in the main
either up or down were fruitless, and
for over half an hour the victims hung
exposed to the curious gaze and the
heartless comments Of the noon-hour
crowd. ~~r~-- -.
Assistant Custodian Nelson hurried
his entire force to the rescue Of the
"hung' jury. After a desperate at
tempt to coerce the over-active safety
catch, the rescuing party raised a lad
der to the suspended. car. The wire
screens on the cage were then removed
and the prisoners liberated. -.-" 49,.

AUTHORITIES BELIEVE TRAMPS
KILLED MAN.
Gruesome Discovery in Marshes Near
a Halsted's Bay at Lake Minnetonka
Points Strongly to Foul Tragedy
Coroner Kistler Orders Body Elk
humed for Postmortem Examination.

Evidence that has been obtained since
the decomposed body Of strange man
was found in the marshes near Hal
sted Is bay at Lake MinnetOnka points
strongly to murder, and Coroner Kistler
has ordered the body exhumed, that an
may be made by the po-
When the case was first reported. the
coroner thought it case of drowning,
and ordered the body buried near the
spot, where it was found because of it's
condition. Yesterday afternoon, how
ever, William Champion, who keeps a
boathouse on the bay, partially identi-
lied the man by his clothing. He says
that he met the man in Minneapolis
and that the stranger had been drinking
straighten up saAs and Champion Gram a't took j;
him to the lake to spend a few days.
That was seven weeks ago. The man
stald the first day, and that night
and nothing was seen of him after that.
Champion is afraid that the man fell
IN with some of the tramps that were
hawking, about the lake, and that they
dld away with him.. Champion did
care to talk about himself. He had
some money and he may have been
killed for his money.
T The body will be brought to the
county morgue, where postmorten will
be held.
Hunters in quest Of ducks found the
body, half covered with water in the
marsh. 1t was sunk to the hips in the
thick mud. and had fallen forward on
and the body was SO badly decomposed
that the hunters could not see whether
there were signs of foul play. The
marsh at that place is shallow, but there
is sink around where the body was
found: The hunters Immediately mott
fed the coroner. There was nothing
in the dead mans pockets but a knife
which was identified by Champion.

There is hardly any way to learn
swearing like having the rheumatism.
Because a man is engaged is not a
sign he has no sense in every other way.
It is almost impossible for a man to
have so much money that his family
can't spend it for him.
Either woman is likely to scratch
you when she is smiling at you or smile

The trouble with putting anybody IN

to let you off from increasing it.

SUPERIOR B'V'D AS
A TROLLEY ROUTE
STREET RAILWAY COMPANY SAID
TO HAVE LoNGINGs.
The Route Is Ideal Both for Directness
and Low Grades-New Bryn Mawr
Yards May Call for viaduct at Erie
Avenue to Handle the Increased
Traffic.

It is reported from out Bryn Mawr
way that when the Great Northern
yards are completed, there will be 80
much traffic in that part of the city
that the Laurel avenue bridge will not
be adequate to meet the demands and
in consequences the city will be asked
to build another bridge over the tracks
at Erie street. This is expected to be-
come an important thorofare. Laurel
avenue does not have direct connec-
tion with the business district; Superior
avenue is parkway and cannot be used
for traffic purposes and should there be
a considerable increase in business in
consequence of the new terminals and
the upbuilding Of Bryn Mawr the logi-
cal place for bridge will be at Erie
street.
A Superior Avenue Trolley.
It is intimated that the street rail-
way company covets Superior avenue
for an air line to Lake Minnetonka to
reach Groveland Park, Breezy Point,
IMaplewood and Deephaven and possibly
later on to tap the numerous northshore
colonies Superior avenue, beyond the
Great Northern tracks,. is as straight
as yardstick and by spending about
one hundred and twenty thousand dol
lars between the city and Wayzata the
grades have all been removed with the
exception of the Bryn Mawr hill and
one near Wayzata. It would make an
ideal roadbed for trolley line. While
possession of the Milwaukee right-of:
way to Minnetonka, the line is as full
of curves as a grapevine and is said to
be much less desirable for a trolley route
than the airline made possible by using
