INSANE Man KILLED
Trouble Breaks Out at the ST. Peter
Hospital on Saturday.

st. Peter, Sept. l9.-Fred Strub,
patient at the state hospital in this city,
was beaten with what is known as a
polishing block by another patient
named Riceti. between one and two
o'clock last Saturday afternoon, and re-
ceived injuries from which he died yes
terday morning. While the assault was
not witnessed, it is supposed that the
murder was caused by Shrubs quarrel
some habits, he having had trouble with
other patients in the ward in which he
was confined.
Usually there are two nurses on this
hall, but last Saturday afternoon one OF
them was sent to the county fair in
| charge of a number of the inmates.
While the nurse who remained on duty
was momentarily absent, ministering to
a patient in the sick room, he heard
sounds of struggle in the main hall
and when he ran out to part the COM
batants he found Strub lying on the
floor and Riceti standing over his pros
| trate form.
Riceti held a polishing block, large,
oblong block of wood used for polishing
the hospital floor, in his hand, and when
questioned admitted having struck his
antagonist with the weapon, which
weighs nearly thirty pounds. Riceti de-
clared that he had tried to kill his OPP
ponent, and his statements were sub
stantiated by Strub
| In their ward, however disturbances
of this kind are of daily occurrence, and
when the nurse had restored quiet lie
gave no more thought to the matter
Some hours later he found that Shrubs
condition was such that he had him plac-
| ed in bed, but even then he made no re-
| port of the occurrence, but awaited the
arrival of Assistant Physician DR.. r.
HI. Hoyt, whose custom it is to visit the
ward at five o'clock. When DR.. Hoyt
made an examination he found that
| three of Shrubs ribs had been fractured
and that there were indications that his
lungs had been punctured. He caused the
man to be transferred to the sick ward,
but there was no chance for his recov-
cry, and he died yesterday morning.
After the case had been reported to
| the authorities, Coroner G.. F. Merritt
summoned jury and held an inquest at
| the hospital yesterday afternoon, the
autopsy revealing the fact that three of
Shrubs ribs had been broken and that
the bones had pierced his lungs and his
liver. The jurors returned verdict
stating that they did not find negligence
on the part of the officials or the en-
ployes, but that they did find that the
institution was very much in need of
more nurses for the proper care of pa
tients.
Fred Strub was committed to the hos
pital from Ramsey county. He is said
to have been tramp and there are no
known relatives.

From Thursdays Daily.
A bold holdup occurred in the Omaha
yards in this city early last evening,
Stephen Dreves, who says his home is at
Albany, Wis, being the victim. He came
to the city on the evening train, from
Eyota. where he had been working for
four days. and was on his way to Brook
ings, S. d., to work with threshing
crew. At about S:45 o'clock he started
to walk from the union depot toward
the Omaha freight depot, but when just
south of the platform he was met by
two men who were strangers to hum.
One of these struck him across the back
struck him in the mouth, cutting his
under lip so that two stitches had to
be taken in it. The men then kicked
him in the abdomen and went through
his pockets, taking something over 50
from him, then disappearing in the dark
ness.
Dreves at once went to the police sta.
ton and reported the robbery and as.
sault. The police went to work on the
case, and at about $3.50 o'clock Officers
Vogel and Robb located the two men
who were wanted in saloon. They told
one of them that he was wanted at the
city hail. and asked the other to accom-.
pany them. Both readily consented to
90, but the first one asked for permits
sion to 90 to the closet. This was
granted, but instead of going there he
ran as fast as he could out of the rear
door of the saloon. The two police Of
fcers took after him, while the other
man ran away. There was barbed
wire fence back of the saloon, but the
rober fell over that and continued on his
course. Both policemen tore their cloth
ing on the barbs. Officer Robb drew his
revolver and fired twice in the air and
then at the fleeing robber as the latter
turned the corner around warehouse,
but failed to hit him.
The. two men made good their escape,
and IL probably did not take them long
to place many miles between the city
and themselves. A Warrant was gotten
out today for the arrest of the parties,
charging them with robbery in the second
degree for the theft of $40. One of the
men worked in steel gang on rail-
road near Mankato last year and is
known. The police have good descrip-
tions of both.
Dreves has gone to work in the city
and will remain to appear against the
footpads if they are apprehended again
Two, men are held at st. James under
suspicion of being the fellows who made
the assault. These men arrived in st
James this morning and Sheriff Forsyth
arrested -them.tr

gree, in alleged theft of seventeen razors
from Nelson Weeds drug store Aug. T.,

he had no money to hire an attorney.
County Attorney Wilson appeared for
the state and examined Mr.. Weed and

was committed to the county Jail.
