house and asked his former sweetheart
to go away with him.
Mrs. Briggs told him she was per-
fectly satisfied to live with her hus-
band and ordered Brown from the
house.
In his rage Brown snatched a blunt
knife from the table and struck the wo-
man several times, INJECTING several
painful but not serious wounds. He
then ran out the back door.
Mrs. Briggs shrieked for help and
Peter Morton, morguekeeper, learning
of the trouble, started after the wom-
an g assailant. Morton chased the man
toward Cedar avenue, where he was
picked up by the police.
It was not necessary to take the in
jured woman to the hospital, and she
was treated at her home by surgeon.
The police say Brown admitted that
he stabbed the woman. He will be
arraigned in police court tomorrow.

HINT OF EGG FAMINE

Minneapolis is not far from an egg
famine if prices are any indication. Eggs
have never before commanded such a.
price at this time of year as they COM
manded today. Commission men sold at
So a case, thirty dozen eggs in the case,
and guaranteed the freshness of only
twenty-seven dozen. The man who
bought eggs at wholesale was forced to
pay rs 2-3 cents dozen and take chances
on one egg out of every ten.
AS a result of the dearth of eggs in the
wholesale market Jump in the retail
price of the commodity is expected, and
1t is probable that Minneapolis house
wives will soon be obliged to pay 40 cents
for eggs. The situation, however, may
be relieved by the cold storage plants.

in better position to ask the street

to the representatives to the joint COM
mittee to, secure lower rates on the

committee held it's first formal meet

matter at great length without COM
ing to any conclusion. It was decided
to hold an executive session today and
to ask the street railway officials for
conference at 2 pm.
Mayor Jones commended the move

GOMEZ he declared. "What we get
is not so important as the fact that
we get something and establish the
principle of cooperation and mutual
negotiation with the street railway au-
"It>is not my place to advise you to
ask for any specific concession. It
may be advisable to secure a fiat rate
reduction for all the street railway
patrons at all hours or. to ask for a
classified rate for working people or
school children for certain hours. Pos
slbly it might be easier to secure fat
rate Of six fares for quarter. At
any rate you should ask earnestly, but
goodnaturedly. THE company can well
afford to make some reduction.
"Another thing you can do is to
help the company eliminate passes.
The system is wrong in principle, Just
as wrong as the giving of passes by
railways to members Of the legislature
and the judiciary, and it is essential
that it should be abolished.''
