Grade Crossing Question Partially
Cleared by Engineer Rhame's State
ment Milwaukee Can Make Changes
and Probable Assent Of the Road IS
Officers

A great advance in the solution of
the Embarrassing problem in South
east Minneapolis was made yesterday
afternoon at meeting held at the
office of City Engineer Andrew Rinker
and attended by S. j. Bratager, princi-
pas assistant engineer of the Northern
gineer Of the Milwaukee railway. Nj.
Rhame conceded that the Milwaukee
could meet the conditions imposed by
the city council and could adjust it's
plans so as to conform to the revised
plans presented by the Northern Pa
cific.
This action does not commit the Mil
+. D. sewall, the assistant general man n
ager, and F. ". Root, the solicitor.
have maintained that the road is will
ing to do its share if the engineering
difficulties could be overcome, it is as
sumed that Mr.. Rhames' views will be
accepted by his superiors.
AS in the case of the Northern Pa
citic, the city demands that the Mil
waukee bridges over University avenue
and Washington avenue Sc be SO built
without sinking the street more than
seven feet. Practically these demands
have been met by both railroads, ana
when the plans are adopted, then will
come the big work Of putting them
into effect.
Much property will be damaged by
changing the grade of the streets. All
the Industrial plants having trackage
facilities will be put to big expense
to conform to the elevation of the
tracks.
There has been a long campaign tc
get the city and the railroad compa
MES together on preliminary plans, but
the biggest part Of the fight to secure
the improvement in Southeast Mime
apolis is still to come.

FOUGHT FOR LIFE
WITH ARMED THUG
CHARLES BALDUO HAS TERRIFIC
ENCOUNTER IN, DARK.
He Finds an Intruder in New Wyman-
Partridge Building, Where He Is En-
ployed as Night Watchman Stranger
Shoots without Warning and Escapes
-Balduc Is Wounded.

Charles Balduc, a night Waterman at
Wyman- Partridge & Co. s building. Sec
ond avenue N and Seventh street, was
shot in the hand in a fight with a muir
derous highwayman in the dark early
this morning.
Balduc was returning to his work
from a restaurant, where he had gone
for his midnight meal, when he saw
someone kneeling beside the hosting
engine. He approached with his Ian
tern and when he was about twenty
feet from the engine the stranger
jumped to his feet and fred two shots,
Balduc's head. The assailant did not
offer to run away, but stood his
ground, and Balduc made a rush at him,
grabbing him by the hand that held
the weapon.
A desperate struggle followed
neither being able to throw his antag,
onist. With their right hands tightly
clasped, they fought fiercely for sew:
eral minutes with their free hands and
feet, and during the scuffe the revolver
was discharged and the bullet passed
thru Balduc's hand. Thinking he had
seriously wounded the Waterman, the
stranger fed, while Balduc, summoned
the partol wagon to take him to the
and he was able to go to hic home, I'LL
Dupont avenue N.
It was so dark about the building
where the fight took place that Baldut
could not get good view of his assail
ants face, but the case has been re
ported to the police. The watchma1
thinks the man was scratched in thu
scuffe, and he may be arrested on thi!
clue. .... SIC. .,.. IA.

REPR0YES OFFICERS
OF MUNICIPAL COURT

Mayor David P. Jones landed q
bombshell among the municipal court
account for acting as solicitors for that
class Of lawyers who make a specially
of police court practice. This side
business on the part Of some Of the
officers has come to such a pass that
the prisoners and their friends who
come to see them are pestered with
urgent appeals to take their case to
this or that attorney. One Of the Off
GERS is known to 90 about with peck
etful of business cards supplied to him
by an enterprising attorney, and these
cards are industriously circulated:
Recently it came to the mayors at
tention that a lawyer had been sent to
the workhouse to see prisoner, from
whom he extracted the manas last $2s
on the pretense that he had been sent
by the mans wife. These practices
have called forth many complaints anG
protests, which aroused the mayor 81
thoroly that he called the offenders be
fore him today and gave them a SHARP
reprimand. .-.,...,> - !
