.ROBS GUM MACHINE
TO RECOUP HIS LOSS

Fearing punishment at the hands Of
his father because he had appropriated
10 cents entrusted to him, 12-year-old
boy is said to have robbed a gum ma
chine to make up the loss.
The boy is now locked up at Cen
tral station, charged with petty larceny.
The police say the boy was sent to
the store to make some purchases, anu
that he thought it would be great fun
to take advantage Of the opportunity
and spend little on himself. After
spending the mony. he. was suddenly
seized with fear of the strap, SO he
began planning on way Of easing his
conscience.
He knew that to escape the trouble
at home he would have to make up the
amount, so he decided to tackle the gum
machine.
Without returning home, he went to
Hennepin avenue, where there was an
easy haul, and, breaking open the ma
chine, obtained fifty three pennies. He
was seen, however, and later, when he
went downtown to invest the money,
Patrolman Rooney arrested him. He
was locked up in the boys department
at Central station and will be tried in
juvenile court tomorrow.

STORE WAS MANAGED
ON HALf:AND.HALF PLAN

The primitive bushes smethods Of
Mrs Emma Yates and Emma Anderson
in conducting their grocery store at 708
Third avenue NE, caused much amuse-
ment when they were brought out by
First Assistant County Attorney John
F. Dahl today in his cross examination
of Emma Anderson, one Of the women
accused Of setting fire to the store.
Miss Anderson was on the stand for
the defense and in every way attempt
ed to shield herself and her partner,
Mrs. Yates, who is now on trial. She
denied having any knowledge Of the
setting of the fire and asserted repeat
edly thta she was satisfied with the way
the store was running and was getting
good interest on her investment. On
cross-examination by Mr.. Dahl she told
Of the details of the business.
She admitted taht no books were kept
and that they had no delivery wagon.
In the morning each partner put an
equal amount Of money in the cash
drawer and at night they divided the
receipts. The goods were purchased
with money Of which each woman paid
half.s
Counsel made the witness admit that
she had no more money in the bank at
the end of her first month of storekeep-
ing than she had at the beginning, that
she had little more stock, and that she
had spent 500 out Of 800 in cash, whick
she had laid away for a rainy day. k4zs

COUNTY WILL SUE
CORONER KISTLER
PAPERS BEING PREPARED FOR
PosTMoRTEM SUITS.
Present Coroner and Former Coroner
DR.. U. q. Williams Will Be Defend
ants in Action to Recover $2,O06.15,
Alleged to Have Been Expended for
University Postmortem Examinations.

Suits to recover money alleged to
have been illegally expended for post
mortem examinations are being pre-
pared in the coutny attorneys office
against Former Coroner U. G. Williams
and Coroner j. M. Kistler. According
to the public examiners report, DR..
Williams owes the county 81 ,l03.20 and
DR.. Kistler, $902.95. \
Working with this report as founda-
ton Assistant ounty Attorney William
G. Leary is preparing to sue and will
money he claims to be due the county.
It is admitted that the ccrnorer has
the right to engage doctors to hold a
postmortem examinations in cases
where death resulted from violence or
where the circumstances lead to sus-
picion Of violence. Outside of these
cases it is claimed that numerous post
mortems have been held, not because
the county wanted them held, but be-
cause individuals or corporations
wanted them and in which the result
has been simply an assistance in deter
mining civil liability. In these cases
the, county attorney holds that the
money was Illegally expended. and must
| be refunded. -':,-.---~-.-
Coroner Kistler has indicated that he
was willing to do whatever is right in
the matter and may pay the bill against
him rather than have suit brought. DIR
| Williams, however, has stated that the
case would have to be fought thru the
supreme court before he would pay uI
and this the county attorney stands
ready to do. :.
The preparation of pleadings in these
cases entails great amount of work
as each case has to be investigated in
order to determine whether or not the
examination was warranted by the
facts. Owing to this it will be some
time before the papers are prepared
and fled.

son WOULD BREAK !
HIS MOTHER SWILL
HEIR CHARGES FRAUD AND UNI
"a DUE INFLUENCE.
Much Sensational Evidence Is Promised
in Probate Court When Hearing Is
Had on Application for Letters Of
Administration for Estate of Ella E.
Sutherland.

Notice Of a sensational contest over
the will of the late Ella +. Switzerland
was filed in the probate court today by
the attorneys for Leeds Greene of She
boygan, Wis, "a son of the deceased,
who was cut off with 81 in the will. J.
r.. Lewis, superintendent of the Rice
detective agency, was the sole deyisee
application for letters of administra-
ton for himself will be heard before
Judge F. G.. Harvey next Monday.
The contestant alleges that the in
strument filed in the probate court is
not the last will and testament of the
deceased; that if it is, it was obtained
by fraud and undue influence, and that
it was illegally executed.
Story of Decedent.
The contest will develop that the
and'that she was formerly the wife Of
Mr.. Greene, father Of her only son,
Leeds Greene. She came to Minneap-
oils some years ago and was known as
Mrs. Sutherland. How she came by
that name is not generally known, as
MIR. Sutherland does not figure in her
story here. She was in straitened cir
cumstances and, it is said, worked for
local detective agency as a "spotter'
r. Not long ago her father, lieutenant
in the British Indian service, died and
left her fortune of $4,000, or about
$4,000. She purchased home near
Portland avenue and Minnehaha boule-
ward and lived there with woman
friend. Il -. ~: =.
Her acquaintance with j. R. Lewis
is said to be Of long standing, but what
caused her to will him all her property
is a question that her relatives are try
ing to answer. It will appear that
when a divorce was granted to her hus-
band Greene, she was given the custody
of her one son, then small boy. Later
he decided that he wanted to Live with
his father, and is still living with him
years of age. This decision is said to
spring. , .,
Question Of Will. g..
It is said that the woman who lived
with the deceased will testify that Mrs
Sutherland said, about two months
prior to her death, that she felt she
should make a will or some disposition
of her property. The will filed by Lew
is after Mrs. Sutherland's demise is
dated in the fall of 1904.
The case has attracted considerable
attention in Sheboygan and eminent
counsel in that town and in St. Pau
have been retained to make fight fol
| the disinherited boy in his attempt tc
break the will. It is believed that there
! is a considerably larger estate than il
given in the application for letters oil
administration. =

CODE WAITS ON EDITOR
PRINTERS HAVE ALL IN TYPE,
BUT PRooFREADING DELAYS
THE PUBLICATION. r.

Another conference on the revised
code was held today, and it develops
that bound volumes of the code cannot
be issued before Feb. 80. Every effort
is being made and the code is a regular
nightmare to the state officials who
have it in hand. :#s
Mark H. Dunnell Of Owatonna, the
editor, was present with representatives
of the printers. p. E. Hanson, secre-
tary Of state, A. n. Dare, state printer,
and George T. Simpson, representing
Attorney General Young, constituted
the board -
The printers report that the code is
all in type, but only about 1000 pages
have been corrected, and they cannot
begin binding until the editor has fin
ished reading proof. He promised to
have 40 pages more by Monday, the
10TH, and to have all proof corrected
by the 23d. This will give only five
days for binding, and it will not be pos.
sible to get out 1000 copies by the
2eth,. as promised. A small edition
will be ready, however, by March l
when the code takes effect.

Weather Conditions.

A gradual eastward movement of
the ''high' during the past twenty
four hours, together with an apparently
rapid southeasterly movement Of yes
terday's low to the region extending
from South Dakota to New Mexico, has
caused rising temperatures in the Ohio
valley, upper and lower Lake region,
Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Minnesota
and the territory between the Missis-
sippi river and the Rocky mountains.
The temperatures are falling slowly
along the south Atlantic and east gulf
coasts, and rapidly in northern New Eng
land. This mornings temperatures are
slightly below zero in Manitoba, north
ern North Dakota, southern Wisconsin
and northern Michigan, and 10 degrees
in northern New England. There has been
very little precipitation during the past
twenty -four hours, and none is expected
in this vicinity tonight or Saturday.
The relative positions Of the "high''
and ''low' will cause rising tempera-
ture tonight. IT. S. Outram,

The st. Paul Choral club gave a de-
lightful rendition Of the House of
Dreams" last evening In the Peoples
church, st. Paul. The soloists were Sig
nor Campanari and Mrs. Katherine Cor
don French. Campanari was in splendid
voice and gave his numbers with a fire
and spirit that won him many recalls.
Mrs. French delighted the audience
with her Interpretation of the bright, vi
vacious se4ctions and in the deeper num-
Der, THE Blessed Damozel,'' sung with
the ladies' chorus. The orator1o num-
bers were more than satisfactory and the
club, under the direction of George II.
Fairclough, sang the weird. dreamy mu-
sic smoothly and sympathetically. The
oratorio, THE House of Dreams" was
only recently composed, and has been
given but one other presentation.
