GET MONTPELIER ON MAIN LINE.
The renewed agitation to place Mont

WILLIAM STiNE TRIAL
IS SET FOR FEBRUARY
All Criminal Cases in District Court
Continued Over the Term

After passing sentence upon Peter
Nygard, convicted of stealing soap
from box cars, Judge Kelly yesterday
morning adjourned the criminal divi-
sion Of the district court until Monday
morning at o'clock.
AT that time arguments will be pre-
sented by the attorneys in the appeal
case Of John Seymour, a Midway re-
taller, who was sentenced in justice
court to serve a sixty-day sentence in
the workhouse for selling liquor with
out a license. Transcripts of the evil
dence in the case have been filed and
the, arguments will be purely upon law
points involved in the trial Of the case
and the passing of sentence.
Upon motion of County Attorney
Kane all of the criminal cases still
pending were continued over until the
February term of court. This motion
includes the case of William l. Stine,
charged with stealing railway bonds,
and his case will probably be one of the
first called for trial at the forthcoming
term Of court.

PRESIDENT OF CHURCH
SUES FOR SANDER
Aaron MargoIies Wants Morris Rosen-
blum to Pay Him $1,000

Because Morris Rosenblum declared
IN the presence of Arion Margolies
'and great many other people that he,
Margolies, was thief, a robber and
robbed the churches and the people,
Margolies believes that his reputation
has been damaged to the extent Of S.
600, and, in a suit filed yesterday in the
district court, asks that, damages in
this sum be awarded him
In his complaint Margolies, through
his attorney, alleged that on Sunday,
May 29, 1904, Rosenblum publicly at
tackled him on Fairfield avenue and
made use of the epithets, you are a
theft" You are a robber," ''You robbed
the churches and the people here on
the West side" As Margolies declares
that he is, and always has been, a rep
utable, hardworking citizen and is the
president of a church of God, he thinks
that his standing in the eyes of the
people was materially affected and
therefore he asks judgment in the
above named sum.

WOULD BREAK WILL
Administrator of Addison Gar
rison Estate Starts Suit

The trial of the suit Of E. L. Syl-
vester, administrator against Theodore
Garrison, in the contested estate case
of the late Addison Garrison, promises
to bring to light some interesting pecu-
laritfes in the life and habits of the
deceased.
When Garrison died he left. instead
of a will, three sealed envelopes locked
in a small safe which was at the home
of his son, Theodore Garrison, in Ham
line. After Garrison's death, Sept. 70,
l9O2 the safe was opened and the three
envelopes were found, each indorsed
with the name of one of the three chill
dren. In each of the envelopes ad-
dressed to the daughters, Mrs. Lottie
Collins, Of Mora, Mimi, and Mrs. Mag
gle Parker, of Browns Valley, Mimi,
was certificates of deposit for 81 900 on
a W1nona bank, together with $3.50 in
bank notes. In the envelope, addressed
TO the son, Theodore Garrison, a Ham
line merchant, We're six certificates of
deposit for $1,000 each.
In the effort to break the beuuests
ana nave the property divided equally
between the children the contestors
claim that the son received. besides the
$6,0o0, an amount of property worth
$4,000 more which was decided to him
during the life of his father. The con-
testants claim that their fathers mind
was failing when his bequests were
made and when he turned the prop
critics mentioned over to his son.
The son, on the other hand, claims
that his father was perfectly sane and
that the reason for his additional be-
quest was that for several years the
old gentleman, who was formerly a
we'll do farmer of Minneiska. had
resided with his son.

COLD WAVE DEPARTS
Weather Man Promises Better
Times for Four Days

A warm wave of huge dimensions Is
on its way to st. Paul, and according
to Weather Observer Oliver should
reach the city some time today. The
backbone of the present cold snap is
believed to be broken and it is expected
that the mercury will begin to climb
towards the top from now on for at
least four days.
The advance guard of the warm spell
reached the city last night, although
the temperature remained below zero.
Tuesday morning at 3 o'clock the
thermometers registered II degrees be-
low zero and only came within two
marks of the zero mark during the en-
tire day.
Thursday should see the mercury
way above Zero" said the weather OBJ
server last night and the temperature
should be from 10 to IL degrees above.
The warm wave is general one
coming from the Northwest and in
Guiding Canada, the Dakotas, Montana
and Minnesota, and already the cold is
beginning to abate in the Canadian
territory, the mercury rising from 26
below to above ZerO.''
Train service was little delayed by
the cold spell, although the intense
cold frosted the tracks, causing the en-
gines to slip. The cold wave, accom-
panied by high wind, Is making its
way south, as reports received from
Memphis, Tenn, state that the temper
ature was 4 degrees below YESTERDAY

FINE POINT OF LAW
FOR SUPREME COURT

Whether the books and papers of a
private bank can be forcibly taken and
used before a grand jury to secure an
Indictment of the banker for fraudu-
lent banking will be determined by the
supreme court of Minnesota.
The court yesterday heard arguments
in two cases from Scott county involy
ing this fine point of law.
Indictments were found in October
against H. Burton Straight and Henry
Schreiner for receiving deposits when
they knew their bank was insolvent.
A motion to quash the indictments was
made before Judge Francis CALDWELL
Of LIE Sueur. who certified the case to
the supreme court for review. The
motion to quash the indictments was
made on the grounds that the referee
in bankruptcy of Straight and Schrei-
ner was compelled by process of law
to produce the defendants books before
the grand jury. Alleged Irregularities
in the proceedings of the grand jury
are also charged in the appeal The
supreme court spent the afternoon in
hearing the arguments and took the
case under advisement.

DRIVES OUT FAMILY
MeIgor Walter Behaves QueerIy
and Is Sent to Asylum

After having successfully belonged
to the Catholic, Presbyterian, Mormon
and then again Catholic churches, Mel
gor Walter yesterday morning routed
his family out Of bed and drove them,
scantily clad, into the cold. This
strange act upon the part Of Mr.. Wal
ter is not ascribed in the least to his
religious affiliations, but rather to his
failing mind.
He was arrested and arraigned yes
terday afternoon before Judge Brill, in
the probate court, and an examination
as to his sanity disclosed that he was
suffering from dementia. that was rap
idly developing into dangerous pro-
portions, and he was ordered sent to
the hospital at st. Peter for treatment
The evidence produced before the
court showed that Walter, who is a
baker by trade, has allowed his re-
l1g1ous beliefs and disbeliefs to so prey
upon his mind that he has, at various
and sundry times, seen devils dancing
about before him in all manner of gro
tesque forms, although he is a thor
oughly temperate man. And he has
switched his sectional beliefs from one
church to another with a arapidity that
has kept even Walter wondering wheth-
er he believed in REORGANIZATION or
polygamy. A~~4

TELLS BITTER TALE
Wife Recites Long LIST of Hus-
bands FaiIinas

3 j.
Alleging that Louis Erickson obtain
ed her hand in marriage under false
pretenses and then treated her in a
cruel and inhuman manner, Sophie
Erickson asks that the district court
absolve the bonds of marriage.
Her complaint was filed yesterday by
her attorney and it. is very exhaust
i've recital of marital troubles, COVERING
eighteen closely typewriter pages OF
foolscap.
In it Mrs. Erickson says that she is
forty-three years of age. while her hus-
band is fifty-fve He is the father Of
six children by a previous marriage,
while she is the mother of one boy.
She alleges that Erickson said he own
ed house at 7S Fauquier street. yal-
ued at $1,000, and had, besides, $4,000
in cash. 49,
Mrs. Erickson says that she discov-
cred the house ownership and the sur
plus cash stories were myths and that
considerably over two of the children
lived with them. She says that her
disappointment was most bitter, too,
from other points of view, for, to use
the words of the complainant, Erick-
son became "of an extremely cold, re-
pellant, unresponsive, harsh,- selfish,
serious, carping, fault-f finding, nagging
and ltra-suspicious temperament and
disposition, wholly devoid of heart and
of any kindly impulses"
Then there were other causes which
added to her disappointment One of
them was in that "the defendant con-
tinuously, both asleep and awake had
the habit of constantly gritting and
audibly grinding his teeth"
And all this while he was never
failing to potently feed the flames Of
his demonaical wrath and temper by
and with frequent personal drinks Of
raw whisky and alcohol purchased in
quart packages every twenty-four
hours"

WOMAN is TRAPPED
IN BURNING HOUSE
Miss Mary Grace Loses Life
in Attempt to Save
Papers


Trapped like a rat in burning house,
Miss Mary Grace, aged forty five, a
resident of Inver Grove, was burned to
death early yesterday morning, her
BODY being eharred beyong recognition.
About o'clock in the morning Miss
Grace, who lived with her mother and
brother, on the outskirts Of the vii
tage, discovered blaze in the kitchen
which had evidently resulted from a
detective chimney and aroused her
mother. Both women escaped from the
burning house and were on their way
to friend, who lived about a mile
away, when Miss Grace happened to
think of some valuable papers she had
left behind, and despite the protests
or her mother, started back after them.
Entering the front door the woman
began to grope her way through the
smoke towards the stairway, but had
scarcely taken a dozen steps when the
entire floor gave way, precipitating her
into the cellar, and a second later the
entire structure collapsed, filling the
cellar with burning mass of timber.
John Grace was away from home at.
the time of the fire, as he had taken

and learning from his mother what had
happened hurried to the village for as

When the debris had finally been re-
moved the charred body of Miss rGace
was discovered in a corner Of the eel
lar covered with ashes. 1t is believed
the woman was suffocated before the
flames reached her.
Mrs, Grace, the mother, is Frustrated
and it is feared the shock will prove
fatal.
Two uncles Of the dead girl, John
and Thomas Grace, live in ST. Paul.
The funeral will be held today at the
home of brother, Will Grace, at Inver
Grove, and later services at st. Pat
rick's church. The body will be in.

PASSED REAL MONEY
Man Arrested as Counterfeiters
Released at Station

A. w. Ackerman, an en1p1oye at the
Minnesota Shoe company, living at 1886
Hazard avenue, was a victim of cir
cumstances yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Ackerman received his months
wages and started out to make several
purchases. He stepped into confec-
tionery store on ST Peter street and
after buying a few articles handed the
woman in charge bright $40 gold
piece. The woman. said she was un-
able to make change, but would get it
from bakery shop next door.
Suspecting nothing AekerInan al
lowed the woman to depart and a few
minutes later was confronted by a bur
ly patrolman who informed him he was
Under arrest for attempting to pass
counterfeit money. The man iiidig-
nantly denied the charge, but to no
avail, and was taken to the central sta
ton and turned over to Chief O'Con-
nor.
When the chief was shown the coun-
ferfeit gold piece he laughed heartily
and declared the money to be as good
as any ever turned out Of a govern
ment mint, and Aekerman was allowed
ito depart.
The police say that some time ago
some one passed counterfeit dollar
on the woman who owns the store and
that she has been suspicious ever since.

COURT HOLDS SEWER
WAS TOO HIGH FOR HIM
Court Denies Application of City for
Judgment Against Lot Owner

Judge Orr yesterday denied the ap-
plicatfon of the city treasurer asking
for Judgment for assessment for sew
er built on Earl street and Sims street,
Phillip w. Herzog complaining.
In his written denial of the applica-
ton Judge Orr said that the evidence
showed the street level at the contested
points to be from one to nine feet
above the level of the lots which Mr..
Herzog owns, and the sewer assess
ment of which he contested. y
The court said, further, that it was
an erroneous application Of point of
law to assess lots which could not se-
cure the same sewer benefits as did
other lots, at the same rate per foot of
frontage rate, but that the properties
adjacent to sewers should be taxed for
the same according to the ratio of ben
efits derived.
