thirty years of age, possibly a de-
scendant of the aristocratic leisure
class of his native country, and
hence has great love for ease and
comfort, and dislike to soil his

After three or four days he was
much annoyed by the proprietor who
was rude enough to present a bill,
especially as he had no funds with
which to pay, and short time later
he transferred his lodgings to the
county Jail at that place. Later he
went to MankatO, where he again
fed at restaurants and hotels, but
paid not, and later he boarded for a

Some excitement was caused this
morning about $50 when smoke was
seen issuing from the ventilation
pipe of refrigerator Car on the
Chicago Great Western tracks. The
fire department was called and when
the car was broken into, flames
were burning some beer barrels and
fruit. 1t appears that a small oil
stove which had been placed in the
car to keep the fruit warm had ex'
ploded, causing the fire. Very little
damage was done, few barrels of
beer being charred and some of
the fruit slightly spoiled by the
smoke. Christ Peterson of the Mil
waukee railroad first discovered the
fire when he saw the smoke coming
out of the ventilation flues.

While attempting to cross the
street car tracks at the corner of
Front and Cherry streets, w. r.
Adams was thrown from his wagon
and very painfully injured. The street
car crashed into the back wheel of
the wagon, tearing it from the axel.
In being thrown to the ground
Adams received several large gashes
on the head and a number of scrat.
ches in the face. He was stunned
when picked up by number of men
who carried him into DoXey's drug
store. A physician was called who
dressed the wounds and Mr.
Adams was then taken to the st.
Joseph hospital in a delirious condi
ton. At the latest report Mr. Adams
was still in delirious condition
and does not remember anything
about the accident. No stitches were
taken as the gashes were not very
deep, but he bled profusely.
Mr.. Adams is a farmer living in
Lime Town and was driving west on
Cherry street to the Grannis elevator
near the railroad tracks, with a
load of wheat. AS he neared Front
street, bystanders say he evidently
saw the car coming for he hesitated
about crossing, then apparently
thought he could get ahead of the
car and tried to cross. When the
motorman saw the team crossing
he put on the brakes and reversed
the motor in order to stop the car
as quickly as possible but was too
near the wagon and collided with it.
The horses became frightened and
started to run away but some of the
passersby caught them A large
amount of wheat was spilled on the
tracks.
The car which was running to-
ward West Mankato was driven by
Fred Buchholz and Albert Lamm
the former being motorman and the
latter conductor
When the motorman observed tina
Mr.. Adams was going to cross the
track he reversed the brake, but the
wheels slipped and the car failed
to stop.

Another street car accident hap
pended this morning about ten
o'clock when two cars, one going
north and the other south, collided
on Front street in front of the Saul
paugh hotel. Car number 9 was
coming north intending to go up the
hill an car No. Z was coming from
the north to the south. When with
in short distance of each other,
the motormen put on the brakes
but No. 8 slid through the switch
and on to the main track. The frost
which was thawing from the rails
made the tracks very slippery and
it was impossible to stop the cars
in time.
The tenders and few windows
were broken. None of the passen-
gers were hurt, but all were badly
shaken up. The sound of the crash
could be heard several blocks away.
Fred j. Buchholz was motorman
and Albert Lamm conductor on No.
Z while Carl Hodapp was motorman
and Henry Wittrock conductor on
No. 9. Car No. seems to have the
reputation Of a hoodoo. Yesterday

has been mixed up in other acct
