"U" DAILY THE CAUSE
OF ANOTHER SPLIT

Unable to agree with the Minnesota
Daily's recently elected governing
board in regard to the assumption OF
the liabilities of the corporation, the
board of directors Of the paper has de-
cided to reconsider the plan for mutual
izing the Daily, and the old corporation
will be continued. This decision was
reached this morning, and stock
holders meeting will be held next Tues
day to choose an editorial staff and a
new board Of directors for the Daily.
: Owing to the fact that the Daily sub
scribers have already elected a manag-
ing editor, a business manager and a
board Of publishers to assume charge
of the college paper under the mutual
ization scheme, the decision of the dl--
rectors creates difficult situation, and
interesting developments are. expected.
The managing editor and business man
ager chosen by the subscribers will no
doubt be elected to the same places by
the stockholders, but there is said to
he disposition among the members OF
the governing board to fight the deci
sion of the directors to retain the cor
poration organization and thus to pre-
vent their assuming control of the
Daily.

AND GIVES HIMSELF Up

Annie Soderman, 70 East Side fats,
is at the Swedish hospital suffering
/ from a bullet wound in the abdomen
accidentally inflicted, and Floyd Shaw,
90 Second street Sc. is locked up at
/ Central station, by his own request,
awaiting developments.
The young woman is in a precarious
condition, having undergone an opera
tion for the extraction of the bullet,
but the physicians say she has a strong
chance for recovery.
The shooting occurred Wednesday at
7 pm, when Shaw and two Of his
friends were walking along the rail-
road track near his home, shooting pig
cons. One Of Shaw's friends spoke to
him and as he turned around his 22-
caliber target rife was accidentally
discharged. Below him in the bushes
he heard someone say HCome down
here.' and, thinking he had killed a
chicken, he ran.
Miss Soderman at the time was hunt
ing her mothers chickens in the
bushes and the bullet struck her in the

and later Miss Soderman was removed
to the hospital.
- Mrs. Soderman notified the East
Side police, but Detectives Derrick and
Wilson could not find the person who
fred the shot. This morning Shaw
heard that woman had been shot, and
Immediately gave himself up. He told
Detectives Helm and Hansen that the
shooting was purely accidental, but that
he wanted the matter settled satisfac
torily to everyone concerned.

Willis, George Haywood and the North
western National Life Insurance CON-
pany.
He prays "that said defendants, 9th
er than said insurance company, may

warrant it, for Judgment in favor OF
said defendant insurance company and
against such of said defendants as may
be held liable thereto.'
The allegations upon which the plain

payment on the lots where the Audito

could proceed much more intelligentl1

MINNEAPOLIS IS
NEAR 275,OOO MARK
DIRECTORY COUNT SHOWS GREAT
GROWTH.
First Canvass of Names for 1906 Book
Proves that City Is Forging Rapidly
Ahead in Population-Count of Last
Year Shown to Be Accurate and Con-
sentative. ~ --~ r..E T. .

Minneapolis makes another stride for
ward in population in 1906, and will
establish more firmly than ever her
right to the title as 1.-The Greatest
City OF the Great Northwest. - Based
on the figures shown by the first canvass
for the new city directory now prac-
tically completed, Minneapolis is now
a city Of 275,0OO, Jump OF $4,000 from
the 1905 census count of 26l,974. :
for distribution about Aug. l, but the
work is now we'll under way.
With the directory names as basis,
it is possible to compute almost exactly
the population of the city. The count
was so close last year that the directory
company's estimate was 263, 900, little
more than thousand more than was
shown by the census count complete
June go From the work already done
on the first count it is certain that
275,000 is a conservative estimate and
that the final showing may be even
greater.
Growth Is Expected.
This growth of the city has been ex.
pected. Statistics compiled monthly by
the Commercial club show large amount
of household furniture coming into the
city every month. The rental and real
estate men have been waiting for the
directory figures and are more than
pleased. The gain already shown is
also about what was expected by those
closest to the situation, but it was a
great surprise in some quarters where
few doubters were found who thought
the 1905 census little strong and ex
pected at best an increase of but few
thousands or hundreds.
Before the directory canvass is CLOSED
the city will be covered again to check
the first counts and it is probable that
more names will be added. The com
pany has large force of men out an(
nobody is being missed. Those who are
| interested in boosting the city and il
having their names and addresses ap
pear correctly in the new directory, viii
! assist in the work if all omissions, re
movals and new arrivals are sent tt
the directory office, where they will b.
