ADOLPH CARLSON VICTIM OF
MYSTERIOUS ASSAULT.
William Cannon, without Known Prov
ocation, Attacks Fellow Workman
with Hammer, INJECTING Probably
Fatal Injuries-Tell Police Mind is
Blank on Events of Last Week.

Adolph Carlson lies at the point Of
NE, with his skull fractured in two
places by heavy hammer blows, while
William Cannon, a fellow workman, is
locked up at Central station charged
with welding the haIamer.
Carlson has little chance Of living,
say, his physicians, and the police say
that in any case serious case confronts
Cannon.
The cause of the trouble that led to
the assault with the hammer has not
been learned by the police, and altho
Cannon is safe behind the bars they
can get no information from him that
will help them in clearing up the case.
Had Never Quarreled.
Both men were employed in the Will
liam Bros boiler factory in North
east Minneapolis, and the assault took
cording to the workmen the men had
never quarreled or had trouble with
each other. Cannon was working about
the place as usual when he suddenly
picked up a six-pound hammer and
started toward the rear of the room,
where Carlson was working. The other
workmen paid no attention to Cannon
until they saw him run out Of the room
without hat Or coat. Then going to
the back Of the room they found Carl
son in a pool Of blood, his head crushed
both front and back
Some Of the men started after the
escaping man, but failed to ovetake
him, and others turned their attention
to Carlson, whom they thought dead.
DR.. H. N. Mcdonald and DR.. A. L.
Aylmer were summoned and after at
tending to him the best they could, had
him taken to his home. This morning
he showed no signs Of improvement
and his chance Of recovery is small
Says Mind Is Blank.
The police were notified Immediately
after the assault occurred and they
searched The city all night for Gan:
non. Early this morning he was found
at his home, 1lO6 Fifth street S, and
was taken to Central station. He re-
fused to talk Of the affair, simply say
ing he remembers nothing that hap
pened yesterday. He says his mind is
blank so far as remembering any
thing that has taken place within q
| week. The police think the man is de-
| ranged. He is marked "held" on the
station tab pending the results Of the
! hammer blows.

the people were becoming very much

Tuesday that 5000 tourists were on
the coast trying to get back east and
the situation Saturday was worse.
~ Big Prices Charged.
From $50 to $3.50 was being charged
for wagon to carry trunks during the
fire, and even as high as 5000. Some
stores charged $3.50 dozen for eggs
and 81 loaf for bread and accordingly.
AS soon as this was found out the
soldiers took charge. They would give
a receipt for the approximate value of
the stock and then deal out the provi-
sions to the waiting people. I saw
twelve stores seized. We had nothing
to eat except cold coffee, clipped beef
