picture performance was a public show,
and when conducted on Sunday it con-
stituted Sabbath breaking.
The jury was out but few mo-
ments, when it agreed upon verdict,
and when the court officers We're as
sembled, Foreman Bishman handed the
verdict to Judge Comstock, who read
lit. 1t found the defendant guilty.
The court thanked the jury Tor its
attention and diligence to its public
duty.
Court Sentences Chamberlain.
County Attorney Plymat moved for
sentence, and Mr.. Chamberlain was
asked to stand up. Judge Comstock
then addressed him, saying: "The
court is generally inclined to punish
very severely deliberate offenses against
the law, where precedent has been
Established, but from the conduct of
this case | feel that you have not
deliberately intended to run counter of
the law as it was presented to you.
If l thought otherwise l would SEN
tence you to Jail. The law in this
city was established last fall. Believ
ing that this was not deliberate and
wilful violation of the law, but that
lit was done to test the law. | shall
not resort to the severer punishment.
Other than by Imprisonment, the court
cannot enforce an adequate punish
ment. for n fine of $40 and costs is
the maximum punishment provided by
the law, other than Imprisonment. You
Iare sentenced to pay fine OF $40
and costs, and in default of the pay
ment of the same to be committed
to the county jail for the period OF
five days"
The defendant offered to pay the
fine and costs, but the clerk was not
present to figure the costs, SO stay
of thirty days was taNen.
Mr.. Chamberlain, when asked wheth
err he intended to take an appeal to
the supreme court, stated that he did
not know yet.
Includes All Sunday Performances.
The law is no respector of persons.
Judge Comstock yesterday construed
the law to mean that Sunday per-
formances for a consideration are pro-
hibited. This is in effect that no Sun
day shows can be given either by theat-
rical men or other-societies or organi-
cations.

D|EDAL0NE| IN H0ME|
MOSES ABBOTT WAS FOUND DEAD
IN HIS BED.
Old Soldier Responds to the Last Call;
Passes Away in His Lonely Cabin
at South Bend; Had Not Been
Seen Since Last Saturday; Death
Discovered This Forenoon By Man
He Leased Land From.
From thursdays Daily.

From thursdays Daily.
Moses Abbott, Il former resident OF
his city, and an old soldier, was found
lying dead on his bed in his little
cabin west of South Bend This fore
noon. The discovery was made by
Gus Hultengren, upon whose land Alb
bolt was living. Abbott was last at
Mr.. IIultengren's house Saturday after
noon and readthe paper and complained
of not feeling well. This was the last
seen of the man, and Mr.. Hultengren
thought his disappearance strange, so
vent to Abbott's residence this morn
ing ard looked through the window
and saw the man lying on his bed. He
tapped on the window but got no
response, and tried the door, but it
was locked
Dead For Some Time.
Mr. Hultengren notified Coroner Ken
nedy, and the latter drove out, and
with Mr.: Hultengren went to the
house. They succeeded in raising a
window and went in, and found Alb.
bott dead. He was lying on his bed
with only his shirt and trousers on,
and appeared to have been dead for
some time. Nothing could be found to
indicate suicide, and it was concluded
that he had died from natural causes.
Coroner Kennedy decided to have the
remains brought to local undertake
ing room this afternoon.
Leased Land to Keep From IdlenesS.
Mr. Hultengren states that about a
year ago Abbott leased the little house
and six and half acres OF land from
him, and cultivated the land. He was
drawing a pension of $l5 a month,
but wanted something to keep him
busy, and so took the land. For
years before that he had lived on
Poplar street. He was an old sol
der, but not member of Wilkin
post. His wife is dead, but he leaves
on an ocean steamer, and another son
lives in Pleasant Mound. this county,
and daughter lives at Springfield.
Mr.. Abbott was well liked by those
who knew him. He was very quiet
and reserved. but we'll posted, and read
a good deal. His lonely death will
cause much regret among his ac9uain-
tances.
While Mr.. Abbott was not a member
of Wilkin post, it is likely that the
post will take charge of the funeral.
The body was this afternoon brought
to the undertaking rooms of the John
Klein Undertaking company. Coroner
Kennedy will not hold an inquest, as
there were no evidences of violent
death.
Mr.. Abbott was years ago broom
maker and sold mis- product in Man
katO.
From the condition of the body. it
is Judged that Abbott must have died
several days ago. The dishes were on
the table, as though he had just eaten
and retired or laid down for nap.
Death is thought to have been caused
by heart disease, as Mr. Abbott had
been sufferer from it; and had eX-
pected to 60 suddenly.
Mr. Abbott was about seventy years
of. age.

Novel Method of Transporting Dwell
ing; Bridge Is an Obstacle

ing; Bridge Is an Obstacle.
From Saturdays Daily.
Some resident of Jlldson sold his
house to a Kasota man, and the latter
undertook to float it down the Min
nesota river to Kasota, but after get
ting started yesterday happened to
think of the bridge at Mankato, and
telephoned to the city officials and
asked them to open the draw in the
bridge. 1t appears that this cannot be
done, and therefore the house cannot
pass Mankato. 1t is tied up somewhere
up stream, it is said.
City Attorney Schmitt was asked
whether the city would be liable for
damages for not opening the draw,
and he said that he did not think
That it would in ease of this kind. If
Il steam came along and was damaged
because it could not proceed up or
down stream to do business, the city
might be liable unless it swung the
draw open.
The owner of the house will have
TO wait until the water goes down
sufficiently so that it can float under
the bridge, or else land il III West

SHOTS PROVE FATAL
ROBERT s. PFIFER DIED DURING
LAST NIGHT.
Judson Father Who Attempted to End
Life of His Daughter SuccumbS to
the Wounds Self-Inflicted; Coroner
Will Hold Inquest on Monday;
Girls Condition Is Critical; Little
Hope Held Out.
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily
Robert S. Pffer, the hudson man who
shot himself and his daughter night
before last and tried TO shoot his wife,
died last night between ten and eleven,
o'clock as the result of his self inflicted
wounds.
Will Hold an Inquest.
Following the advice OF County At
torney Plymat, Coroner Kennedy has
decided to hold an inquest over the
remains. He summoned jury this
forenoon, and the jury viewed the re-
mains at 30 o'clock this afternoon,
and the inquest was then adjourned
until Monday.
No time for the funeral has yet
been set.
Miss Maude Pliers condition is very
critical, and very little hope is held
out for her recovery. Peritonitis or
other complications may arise at any
time that will cause her death. Her
temperature thus far mas not been
high but her general condition is very
grave.
Coult Has Not Called.
Mrs. Pfifer ha snot yet arrived from
Judson, nor has Julius Coult called
at the hospital to see Miss Pfifer, I'M
less it was yesterday morning.
Miss Pfifer, when asked yesterday
whether she and Coult were engaged
to be married, said that no formal en-
gagement existed, but from her man.
ner one would Judge that they expected
to have been married.
Everything possible is being done
for Miss Pffer.
The COroner's Jury.
Coroner Kennedy summoned T. T.
Champlin, Paul Iverson, H. r. Wiecking,
Frank j. Busch and FL. S. Holman of
this city and James Faley of Medic to
serve on the jury. After viewing the
remains this afternoon, adjournment
was taken until Tuesday at p. m. In
case Miss Pffer shall died in
the meantime the inquest on both
bodies could then proceed together.
Miss Pliers condition was unchanged
at three o'clock this afternoon.
Dr. Edwards states that there would
have been more chance for both father
and daughter to have recovered mad it
been possible to have operated sooner,
but this could not be done until they
were gotten to the hospital, and there
were delays in getting back and forth
from Judson, owing to the condition of
the road and lack of facilities.
Julius Coult has not been at Oscar
Doors place since Thursday, although
Mr.. Door has seen him once since the
shooting.
CouIt Cares For Family.
Mr.. Coult did not return to Judson
the night of the shooting, but reap
peared there yesterday morning, and
has been there ever since, looking after
the wants of the family.
Ed. Ffifer, a brother OF Robert Pfifer,
the dead man, arrived today noon from
Oklahoma, and is at Judson. He will
probably look after his brothers fam.
lily until matters can be Strengthened
around again. The son, Edgar, also
arrived this afternoon from Lake
Hanska, where he mas been staying.
He was sent for, and started at once.
Nothing is known at Judson as to
when the funeral will take place.

PACIFIC NORTHWEST NEWS.

Seattle, June lS.-Seattle is In the
throes of another effort to solve the
problem of decreasing the cost of lv-
Jig. After due investigation it has
been discovered that the price of veg
e'ables, fruit and dairy products,
everything in fact that passes through
the hands of the commission merchant
is about fifty per cent higher here
than in Tacoma or other cities SINH
larly situated. The local association
OF hotel keepers has laid the blame
at the door of the Commission Men s
Combine, which goes under the name
of the Seattle Produce Association.
This association, although its mem
bers deny that 1t fixes prices, has an
iron clad set of rules for all the com
mission men in town and it maintain
a black list of persons to whom 1t will
not sell Altogether 1t makes noise
very much like a combine, and the
hotel men want the district attorney
to prosecute the Produce Association
as such. And the hoi polloi politely
spoken of as the general public, woul
like to see some steps taken to de-
crease present prices.
