LINDEN HILLS IS
TORN BY TRAGEDY
WILD YARN OF AaBoY DECAPITA.
TED GAINS WIDE cREDENCE.
Everybody Talking to Everybody Else
About the Cruel Street Railway Com
pany and the Child Victim Of Fast
Car-But No One Knows Who or
When.

And the child was actually decapi-
tated,o said the iceman.
And they hushed it up" said, the
maid servant.
And there wasn't any funeral, and
the parents won t say. a thing about
it, said the woman of the house, who
had come out the back door.
Sensational gossip + started by a
mothers warning and spreading like
wildfre about Linden Hills for a week
past, came near causing all the small
children in the district their liberty for
the entire summer vacation.
About week ago the residents were
shocked to learn that small boy had
been decapitated by a Minnetonka troll.
ley car and that the body had been
stealthily sent away for burial before
any investigation could be started;
that the boy had been visiting relatives
in Linden Hills; that he had staid out
| OF doors later than usual, and, wan
dering on the tracks had fallen in front
of one Of the speeding cars.
Everyone became indignant. Many
| persons wanted the street railway com.
pany dealt with Immediately, and If
gun they at least wanted the authori
ties to compel the company to run the
| cars. at a snail's pace, while running
along the shore of Lake Harriet and &c
the city limits. 5s
Every resident of the district took il
on himself to learn as much as he could
concerning the accident. Soon no one
could venture out of his house without
some one questioning him about the
that DR.. c.. E.. Booth and DIR. F. L.
| Adair had been called in connection
| with the case, but on investigation
| learned that they had only listened to
the stories told by others and that they
could throw no light on the case. The
grocers and meat dealers also heard OF
! it and told it to their customers. Some
cars conductors, only to learn that they
"knew of the boys death, but had for
gotten where they heard it..
While the gossip was going the
| rounds the children were compelled tc
play in the front yard and venture
to the street meant a session in the
woodshed.
Finally the story reached every
| house, but the name and address Of the
victim Of the accident still remained 9
mystery. At last one woman dispellec
the mystery merely by remarking il
a casual way that she had told her lit
tie boy some such story in order to kee1
him from playing on the tracks. The
| boy thought it good story to tell hi
playmates and so the yarn started.
To mention a streetcar accident a.
Z Linden Hills now means trouble, am
everyone, feels he has been the victim
of a joke. But the agitation to reduc
the speed of the Minnetonka cars ha
not subsidized, tho the children are ono

Grand Jury Subject to Call at ANY
Time, and AL J. Smith and the Police
Aching to Get a Chance at Powers
That Prey During q. A. R. Encamp-

If the plans of County Attorney Al
j. Smith do not miscarry, Minneapolis

criminals who are expected to flock into
the city for the national eneampment
of the G. A. r.
At the prosecutors suggestion, the

Aug. g., or shortly before the beginning
of the encampment. For the first time
subject to call all summer, and during
the encampment the inquisitors will
hold regular sessions and will act as a
cordial reception committee to all vio-
lators of the law.
There will be no vacation in this
office this summer said Mr. Smith to-
day. 81 am going to be in my office
right thru, and we will cooperate with
the police department. The record of
every crook will be investigated, and
if he has ever been convicted we will
plead previous conviction and will en-.
deayor to give him the limit under the
habitual-criminal act that provides fol
a penalty double that which a man
with a clean record would get. We
mean business, and between the police
the county attorneys office and the
grand jury the lawbreakers. will have
anything but smooth sailing.'
The grand jury yesterday, afternoon
reported to Judge +. D. Dickinson and
returned several indictments. Five men
were. arraigned today and four entered
pleas of guilty. Martin G.. Suelfohn
accused Of improper treatment of a
young girl, was the only one to plead
not guilty.
The others were William cCormicN
indicted on the charge Of taking a
horse and buggy from one liveryman
and selling it to another; John Henry
gree, and Frank Harrison and John
Swafford, who stole several suits of
clothes from 106 Hennepin avenue. All
of those who admitted their guilt were
remanded for sentence.

WASHINGTON, July II, 1906.--Of-
icia4ssse tAessavy Department are great
pleased over the news received this
week from Manila of the safe arrival of
he drydeck Dewey at Olongapo, p. 1.
When it was first proposed that this inn
nense steel structure be towed half way
around the world many Of the wise old
Iea dogs shook their heads and predicted
hat the expedition would meet with dis
aster. As itt was, the trip was marked
by several nishaps, but none of them
was SO ssrieus as to damage the big
craft. The stew%linesswere broken sew
eral times in the iheavysweather encount-
cred in hesAtlantic Ocean and Mediter-
rean Sea, dom one occasion the dock
was lost forspartaof a day. The towing
machinery@.became wrenched. and part
Of it had to be replaced by new sections.
The expedition started from the plant
Of the MarylandsSteel Company of Bal
timore, at Solomon's Island, in Chesa-
peake Bay, con December % last One
hundred and. ninety-six days were occu-
pied in ms king the trip, or about six
and one-ha'lf months.
1t had been estimated at the Navy
Department that the dock, would reach
the philippines in FIVE months, and the
trip wMlld doubtless have been accom-
plished'in this time had its not been for
the stress of weather en- route. Com
mander Hosley, who managed the towing
expedition, is being warmly praised to-
lay for his achievement dn getting the
dock safely through to its destination.
The Dewey .cost S1,124, 900, is 500 feet
in length, and is capable of docking the
largest Uniteds States battleship in four
hours. The cost of towing the drydock
to the PhiMppines has not been made
public. 1t cest eupwardsof $4,000 in fees
to go through fthe Suez Canal.
