and try to break in afterwards.
The twenty days prescribed, by law
are absolutely necessary, that all filings
may be classified and the tickets made
up for the various wards This entails
large amount of work and the county
auditor 3 force will be busy getting it

The democratic county committee is
keeping track of the situation, and will
seek to have a complete ticket in the

work was kept up and the byways and
hedges were searched for available
candidates who were dragged in and

there is really but one contest on the
ticket, that for the mayoralty nomina
tion. A few minor contests are on in
several wards, but interest centers in
the fight between W. H. Williams, the
state labor commissioner, and former
Mayor J. G. Haynes.

MARKET DOUBLED
j FOR LIVE STOCK

Es ARMOUR's COMING.
Figures Show that Half the Animals
Shipped to South st. Paul Are Re-

Conditions which have led the Ar
Minneapolis as the city in which to
establish it's northwestern packing
plant are discussed by the Wall Street
Journal. Figures are given to show
that the livestock required to supply
the twin city market will be doubled.
"The selection Of Minneapolis for
the location Of large packing house
by the Armours,' says the Journal,
'Frecalls the fact that last year $4,000
stockyards and 1880 cars were
shipped. St: Paul received 2,167, 5000
head of livestock, of which 1,003,045
head were shipped out. The progress
of the northwest in farm methods, in
dairying and in stock feeding is based
on two factors, the increased import
ance of livestock in farm equipment
and the availability of mill feed as a
by-product of the large milling estab-
increases with the capacity Of the mills
both at the large grinding centers and
at the. numerous smaller mills, of which
there has been a remarkable increase
with the spread Of the spring wheat
area.
Natural Gateway. l. ~
"These conditions have made Min
neapolis, the gateway to the northwest
markets, desirable location for the
erection Of new packing plant by the
Armours. They have recognized the
worth Of getting nearer to the sources
of the raw materials of this industry,
that is, livestock; and of shorter haul
to the consuming areas of their manu-
featured products. Hence the necessity
of dividing their forces in favor of the
more advantageous location.
eff the proposed plant is located at
Minneapolis the number of livestock
required is likely to be doubled in sup
plying the Minneapolis Paul mar
kets. The figures for the three years
past are given below:

'WHEELMAN HIT BY
DRUNKEN DRIVER
CHAUFFEUR HEARTLEss LY
LEAVES HIS VICTIM. a5
Auto Driven by Peter Blair Strikes
Frank A. Jerome. Injuring Him So
Badly that His Death Seems Near
Accident Is elimination of Days of
Reckless Riding.

Frank A. Jerome, 11S Seventh avenue
n, was run down and probably fatally
injured at Western avenue and Seventh
street early. today by an automobile
operated by Peter Blar, a saloonkeeper
at Nicollet avenue and First street.
Jerome is at the city hospital, where
the physicians expect him to die at any
moment, and Blar is locked up at Cen
trail police station awaiting the action
Of County Attorney Al J. Smith. y
The accident occurred shortly before
Z O'Clock, just after Jerome had
mounted his bicycle and started to
work. He is a paperhanger and was
carrying several tools. AS he was
crossing the car tracks at Western ave-
nue. the auto bore down upon him at a
good rate of speed and he was unable
to get out of the way. The auto, which
was headed straight for him, ;wavered
a trif1e and then struck him squarely
in the side, throwing him several feet
to one side of the street. *
Driver Does Not Stop.
In the auto with Blar were three
women. Blar looked back but made
40 attempt to stop. The machine
was kept at the same speed, and was
soon out Of sight.
In Inc meantime, several men ran to
aid Jerome, who was unconscious and
bleeding from the mouth and ears They
carried him into a store and summoned
the police ambulance, which arrived
promptly and took him to the city hos
pital. There an examination showed
that he was seriously n.jured and had
only slight chance for recovery. His
relatives were notified and they have
spent the day with him in the ward
None Of the mans bones was broken,
but he was badly injured internally.
Several persons who saw the acct
dent took the number of the auto and
at once reported the case to Police Su-
perintendent Doyle. Learning that Blal
owned the machine he sent detectives
to look for him, and he was arrested.
Result of Spree.
The three women were taken to the
county attorneys office, where they
told of the affair. Blar, they said, was
intoxicated and had been on a long
spree. They supposed he was able tc
handle the auto properly when thew
started. Blair was not worried over
the affair, even when he knew he had
run Jerome down, and after short
ride about the city he returned to the
home Of the women.
Blair admitted to Superintendent
Doyle that he caused the accident, but
further than that he would say moth
ing. Superintendent Doyle says that
! the man has been intoxicated for sew
eral days, and has run his auto in 6
| reckless manner on several occasions.
