Ger was in the act of hustIing the fellow
to the platform when Mccain inform
ed the conductor that he would pay the
other fare. This was satisfactory to
Goenen and he advised the officer to al
low the fellow to remain on the train.
Meanwhile, so it is reported, Mccain.
struck the policeman. The officer would
have arrested his assailant on the spot,
but the conductor explained that both

Former St Peter Physician Sought BY
Minneapolis Police.
From Tuesdays Daily

FROM tuesdays Daily
Dr. Willard Wheeler, the former st.
Peter physician, accused of having
caused the death of Mrs. Minnie Kosan-
der by surgical operation forbidden
by law, is now more than ever sought
by the Minneapolis police
The charges against him were consid
cred by the grand jury of Hennepin
county yesterday, and although it is
not customary to announce an indict-
ment before the arrest of the defend
ant the authorities are not in this case
making any particular secret of the fact
that there is an indictment.
All of the persons who are known to
have any knowledge of the circumstances
attending or leading up to the death of
Mrs. kosander. and who could be found
by the police at this time appeared be-
fore the grand jury yesterday. These
witnesses included Mrs. Ryberg, mother
of the dead woman; Thekla Bloom.
nurse at DIR. Wheeler's private hospital,
where the death occurred; S. NJ Bruce.
partner of DR.. Wheeler. and the physi-
clans who performed the autopsy. and
the hack driver who took Mrs Kosander
and her mother to the Wheeler hos
pital.
DIR. Wheeler is still missing, and since
the police have been unable to find any
clue to indicate that he left the city at
the time of the expose in the Kosander
case they are inclined to the belief that
he must be hiding somewhere in Min
neapolis under the care of friends.
Immediately after the death of Mrs.
kosander was discovered it was reported
at the county attorneys office that DIR.
Wheeler had gone to Winnipeg, but i'll
vcstigation among the train crews OH the
roads that run to that city has con-
WINGED the police that no man of DIR.
Wheeler's description did 90 to Winni-
peg at that time.
