tives of DR.. Malchow in writing, pub
fishing and circulating his book and
expressed sympathy for the trouble it
has brought him. .&>.,< =

Minneapolis brewers and brewers

If the Excelsior people want to have

This statement was practically the

SHOT UP .. 5. MAIL BOX
WRIGHT COUNTY BOY HELD TO
GRAND JURY FOR CHOOSING
GOVERNMENT TARGET.

Shooting up United States mail
box is the charge upon which William
Alberg, age is, was held to the federal
grand jury by United States Commits
sioner II. s. Abbott today. United
States Deputy Marshal George Mallory
or Duluth arrested Alberg at his home
In Wright county on warrant issued
upon the complaint Of one of the post
office inspectors.
Alberg is not bold, bad highway
man. man. The enticing combination of a
new 22-caliber pistol and an old r. F. d.
mail box proved too strong for him and
he demonstrated his skill as a marks
man by sending a pellet Of lead thru
the insignia Of the Federal government
on the box.
According to the story he told the
commissioner today he was riding with
a rural carrier and shot into the box
which was old and abandoned, at the
carriers suggestion. The boys story
had all the marks of truth and Commits.
sioner Abbott dealt as leniently with
him as possible. He fixed the bail at
500 and then released him on his own
recognizance.

MAY PASS UP THE
lNCURABLES AGAIN 4
CITY HOSPITAL BOARD WANTS
ADMINISTRATION WING.
Tho Opinion that Accommodations
Should Be Provided for Incurables
Runs Strong, Majority Believe that
Administration Wing Is the Most
Crying Need. ., .-,~ --...-7

There is decided opposition within
the board of charities and corrections
to the proposition Of building the adj
ministration wing Of the city hospital
this year. The opposition comes from
commissioners, who believe that 1.-THE
funds available could be more worth
lily used in providing home or ward
for incurables. It is on account Of the
division Of opinion in the board that
there has been some delay in adopting
the final plans for the new wing. =
i. A special meeting Of the board, the
second one this week, was held late
The indications were that the propo-
sition for home for incurables would
be indefinitely postponed. =,
It is not that the commissioners have
any objections to such an institution,
in fact all favor it, but as between the
administration wing and the home for
incurables at this time, the majority
favor the former. The city hospital is
badly crowded and conditions are
deemed not all that they should
be at first-class hospital such as it
is desired the city hospital be. ~
Two years ago the board Of xtlevy
curables,, but the board hesitated to
erect building, as it's maintenance
would greatly increase the expense of
the hospital. A portion Of the money
was devoted to other purposes and the
remainder is found in the fund avail
able for building this year. It amounts
to about $65, 900.
The new wing would provide office
room for. the various attaches of Lthe
institution, quarters for the nurses and
other help and several wards. These
are badly needed, for the number of
patients is up to the full limit nearly all
the time, and in the event Of an unusual
outbreak Of disease the present quarters
would not be adequate. .-..-.-
. DR.. E.. H. Beckman, like his prede-
;cessor as city. physician, thinks that
the new wing should have the prefer
ience over the ward For incurables.

All question of the Great Northern s
