FIRES TWO SHOTS
INTO WIf['S HEAD
John Bruemmer Seriously if
Not MortaIIy Wounds
His Spouse

John Bruemmer, of Albany, Mimi, at
tempted to kill his wife at st. Louis Park
yesterday afternoon. He is in the county
jail and the woman lies unconscious at
her home. The surgeons who are AT
tending her are unable to determine
whether the two gunshot wounds she re-
ceived will cause her death.
Mrs. Bruemmer left her husband about
a year ago because she claimed he mis-
treated her and she went to ST. Louis
Park where she purchased the Hotel
Northern and proceeded to operate the
house. The shooting occurred in the
kitchen of the hotel while Mrs. Bruemmer
was preparing the evening meal
Bruemmer came ito Minneapolis about
two weeks ago and stopped at the Will
Der house on First street north. He went
to the st. Louis Park hotel yesterday aft
ernoon and sought his wife and children
He paid little attention to his wife, but
seemed to be interested in the little ones,
who are three and four years of age.
Follows Wife to Kitchen
Mrs; Bruemmer went to the kitchen and
no witnesses to the affair, but some of the
persons who. We're nearby say they heard
some talk about divorce proceedings
and Ead o drew reyoys
the woman in the forehead and she fell
to the floor. The bullet did not penetrate

ded itself in her cheek.
Gives Himself Up
Leaving the scene Of the shooting,
Bruemmer crossed the street to E. NJ
Trenkleys grocery store, where he sur
rendered himself and was brought to the
county jail by Constable c. III. Devore.
Persons who are acquainted with
Bruemmer, who is a farmer and a plas-
terer, say the couple have been unhappy
and Mrs. Bruemmer was forced to leave
him.
Later her husband came to Minneapolis
and took a course at liquor cure es-
tablishment. In the meantime she pur-
chased the hotel property at ST. Louis
Park, but took the precaution to have the
title registered in the-name of her father.
Bruemme- appeared to sthe-people at the
WILDER house to be somewhat fighty and
the fact his wife refused to live with him
is believed to have unsettled his mind
to more or less. extent. He has been
acting peculiar of late. but when he left
the hotel yesterday afternoon he did not
intimate he intended to kill his wife.
Bruemmer is forty-two years of age
and his wife about thirty-five. They have
been married about five years

OBJECTS TO NUMBER.
Vinegar Firm Asks Court to Fix
the Phone Call

Barrett & Barrett, of st. Paul, manufac-
turers of vinegar and other household
necessities, have applied for an injunc-
tion against the Northwestern Telephone
Exchange company, of Minneapolis, pro-
hibiting it from publishing in its directo-
ries the name of the firm and giving the
location of its place of business on
Plymouth avenue.
It appears from the complaint that for
some years Max F. Schulz was the agent
of the company in minneapolis. Later a
corporation called Barrett &. Barrett was
organized In Illinois for the purpose of
conducting a similar business and Schulz
went with the new company and
maintained his offices at the former loca-
tion and had the telephone call.
The question at issue now seems to be
whether the courts can regulate telephone
numbers and also the names of the sub
scribers. The petitioning firm, which
claims the name and call, makes other
charges against the new firm, and COM
plains that by reason Of the failure of the
telephone company to correct its directory,
as demanded. it has lost considerable bus
mess.

police Smell Hoch


CHICAGO. JAM 27.-The police have in.
formation that Johann Hoch was in Chi
cago within the last three days, and they
have redoubled their efforts to come up
with him.
Belief that Hoeh may prove to be the
elusive Edward Hatch, accomplice of II.
H Holmes, the notorious woman muir
derer, has led the police to begin an in
yestigation along that line. AT the time
Holmes made his confession when in
prison at Philadelphia before his execu-
ton in 1895, Hatch was generally regard
ed by the police as mythical character
invented by Holmes. but since there have
been revelations which are almost con-
vincing that there was a man named
Hatch, who did operate with Holmes In
his swindles and who aided him in MAX
ing way with the lives of the women and
children whom he murdered
That Hoch used the name Hatch. or
Hotch, as one of his aliases at the time
of the Holmes outrages is declared to
have been made known to detectives, and
this line of evidence may lead to search
in Toronto and Montreal, where Holmes
declared that Hatch killed the Pietzef
children.
William Nusser has told Police Inspector
,Shippy of another alleged wife of Hoch,s
Nusser says that Miss Martha Hercfeldt.
now living in Pasadena Cal. married
Hoch in 1895. Nusser baked the wedding
cake. Miss Hercfeldt was living with her
sister, Mrs. Mary Burmeister, at the time.
Hoch took $1,000 from this woman, it is
charged, and also got few hundred dol
lars from Mrs. Burmeister and disap-
peared
ST. LOUIS. Mo, Jan. 27.-Chief of De-
tectives Desmond found today that Hoch
and John Schultz, formerly of ST. Louis,
are one and the same. His investigation
extended to the circumstances surround
ing the death of Mrs. Mary Schultz, wife
