SUIT FOR DAMAGES.
Frank Graves Wants $500 From Sa-
loonkeeper ZiegIer.

Frank Graves, through Attorney Jay
Henry Long, has brought suit against
Albert J. Zeigler, proprietor of the sa-
loon at 427 South Front street, and
Walter Zeigler, the bartender of the
same establishment, asking damages in
the sum of $500, for an assault,
which he alleges, the defend
ants made upon him in the
saloon on or about Jan. Z. The COM
plant states that the plaintiff was
violently elected from the saloon by the
defendants, their agents and servants,
and was unlawfully assaulted and beat
en-, in which fracas his left leg was
broken. The complaint goes on to state
that there was no justification for the
assault, and that the plaintiff ever since
that time has been obliged to remain in
bed

CONDITIONS ! IMPROVE.
Extreme Cold Weather. but Train Ser
vice Is Resumed.

The mercury took an unexpected
drop last night, going to exactly the
same point as on the coolest night in
January, that is thirty-six degrees be-
low zero according to Stedman's Their
mometer. The mercury began to as
cend early in the morning, the wind hav-
ing changed to tire south, and there is
a prospect that the worst is over and
that the country VIA now begin to
gradually warm up.
The railroad situation is also i'm
proving. The Great Western road was
the hardest sufferer from this last
storm. This afternoon the first passen-
ger train since day before yesterday
came in. 1t went out later Yesterday
mornings passenger train got no furth-
er than Madison Lake, and the train
from the north came this way no furth-
er than Faribault. These trains stayed
there until today.
On the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul railroad all trains were abandon
ed after three o'clock yesterday after
noon. Traffic was resumed this fore
noon, the track having been opened up
with snow plows. The train for st.
Paul started out an hour late. Traffic
was also resumed on the main line after
an all nights tie up.
The Omaha and Northwestern roads
also had better service than yesterday.
The morning passenger from st. James
was three hours late. Other trains on
these roads were from one to four hours
late. The snow has all been cleared
off, and unless more drifts into the
cuts, all train will soon be running
close to the schedule time

Senator Nelson's Mother.

Mrs. Ingebork Nelson, mother of the
Minnesota senator, has reached the late
twilight of life, having passed her
ninetieth birthday. She is in good
health and spirits, and passes much of
her time carding and spinning wool,
which she learned as child in the
mountains of Norway. The old lady
follows closely the career of her dis
tinguished son who frequently visits her
at her home in the village of Deerfield,
Wis, twenty miles east of Madison,
The old Nelson homestead there has
been much improved by the senator,
who has taken great pains to make it
an up to date farm.-Winona Republi-
can.

The School Officials in St. Paul
Throw Off Strain.
Were Afraid the Woman Would

Later reports from st. Paul are to the
effect that Miss Flora /. Babcock made
two attempts at suicide. Sunday night
she took dose and lay down to die,
but awoke in the morning to discover
that she had not taken enough. She
then took another bottle and her deter
mination was rewarded with DEATH Miss
Babcock had had the poison in her pos
session for several years, having pur-
hased it for suicidal purposes, which,
according to her letter, were placed in
lbeyance by slight turn of fortune.

The woman for thirty-fve consecutive
days visited the office of Superintendent
Smith and remained from one to three

calls on the superintendent she trans
ferred her visits to Assistant Superin-

any of the board.
The body of Miss Babcock was. re-
moved to Dampier's undertaking rooms
at the order of DR.. w. H. w. Boyle of
the House of Hope church and the con-
gregation will see that it receives fit

Miss Babcock was not member of
the church, but attended there irregular
ly. Several families, members of the
church, sought to assist her in various
ways, and the deacons of the church
during the last two years provided her
with money to buy clothing and pay for
her room rent. These gifts were made
anonymously, for the woman said she
would rather starve than accept charity.
Several times interested persons secur-
ed her employment at teaching schools
out of the city or at desk work in town,
but she would not accept any offers.
The one idea to secure a position in the
public schools of st. Paul dominated her
mind.
The body will be held at the under
taking shop until sister is heard
from. If she is unable or unwilling to
give her burial the church will pro-
vide for suitable interment.

the city. There he met the South Bend
man, who accepted half the chickens,

half to pay him for his trouble in MAX

So far, so good; but the story is not

felt that, having gone through bank
