the best thing to do for the good of
the CITY,"
Asked as to what his policy in re-
gard to the saloons would be, Mr..
Taylor said decidedly: There is
only one thing for me to do, and
that is to enforce the law
In speaking Of the paving improve
ment now under way, Mr.. Taylor
said that he was in favor of public !
improvements of permanent nature.
and would work with the other COM
nissioners, who were more familiar
with what had been done than he
was
Several men who held office under
Mr.. Taylor's former administrations
were callers at his office early TO-
day. No doubt they would like 10
get back in, but what was said or
done was not made public.
II is rumored that some of the
first changes TO be made will be in
the offices of chief of police, street
commissioner. treasurer and city at
torney. The names of two former
sheriffs have been mentioned in con
nection with the office of chief OF
police. John Donahue and Ben Will
liams were both staunch supporters
OF Mr.. Taylor. The police and health
departments are the particular de-
partments under the mayor, and he
will have the naming of the police
and health inspectors. Whether any
changes other than in the head of
the police department will be made
is uncertain, and Mr.. Taylor refused
to commit himself az to this.
Page for Street Commissioner.
John Fl. Page has been mentioned
In connection with the office of
street commissioner. He understands
the work and is familiar with han
ding a number of men. and does it
quietly and effectively, and these
things have led to the mention OF
his name being taken seriously. He
has the time. There will undoubtedly
be plenty of timber for city treas
urer come into view in the next
few days. Arthur Meyer has made
an excellent official, and the COM
mission may hesitate before making
q change.
Former City Attorney c. o. Daley
is said to have aspirations for the
office of city attorney, and he will
no doubt prove formidable candi-
date. Miles Porter's friends will
make strong pull to have him re-
tanned.
The office OF city health officer
does not pay enough to attract many
candidates, and there may be a dis
position TO leave the present incum.
bent In undisturbed possession OF the
position. There is no talk of any
change in the office of city clerk,
so far as known. Neither is there
any likelihood of change in the
chief Of the fire department.

gust l last at LIE Sueur Center,
Mimi, on the. charge OF murder In
the first degree by poisoning Fran.
ces Bergel, aged 5 years, and Mary
Bergel, aged 3 years, his two STEP
children. He had been arrested pre-
viOusly but was released, the state
holding it necessary to hire a detec.
tive. The sleuth worked on the
case for few days and succeeded
after two nights of hard sweating,
it is alleged, in getting a written
confession from O'Malley.
Denied the Confession.
The accused denied throughout
the trial the purported confession
but admitted signing paper at his
home the morning of his arrest. He
can neither write nor read, but can
sign his name only. The defend
ants testimony was cOntradicted by
two confessions signed by him in
the presence of three witnesses and
admissions made by the defendant
to at least six witnesses. The case
was closed and went TO the jury
October 2S last.
After less than four hours the
jury returned the verdict of murder
in the first degree. Martin O'Malle!
was sentenced to be hanged October
20 last by Judge p. w. Morrison, in
the district court. OMalley appear
ed unmoved at the announcement o
the sentence and throughout th'
trial gave the impression that h
was not mentally sound.

four hours.
The facts about the matter are
that OMalley has made several at
tempts on his guards and sheriff and
at no time was there any move to
lynch him There is no danger OF
such a thing happening. 1t is a
fact that Sheehy has acted queerly
while here and stirred up quite a
commotion If the grand jury ever
condemned the county jail, 1T has
not been during the past four years,
as the reports do not show anything
of that kind. The feeling in this
county is strong that OMalley
ought to be disposed of in some
manner, but there is no danger of
any lynching The only complaint
is on the governors inaction.
Sheehy left town yesterday morn
since Sheehy ought to be brought
before the Judge of PROBATE or some
court to answer for his sensational
story.
Sheehy is brother of the we'll
known banker of that name at
Montgomery He lives with his
mother in st. Paul He is in his
cups" most of the time.
Was Not Brought to Mankato.
Early last evening report reach
ed Mankato that O'Malley would be
brought to this city and placed in
the county Jail for safe keeping. The
story was that the people of lie
Sueur Center were aroused to a high
pitch of excitement and the jail was
to be stOrmed, the sheriff and depu-
ties overpowered and O'Mailey taken

LIE SUEUR CENTER WAS ALL
AGOG: SHEEHY A CAUSE.
Claimed That Governor Eberhart
Had Sent Him to the Vii
iaae to Protect O'Malley.

LIE Sueur Center April 4.-Consld-
cradle of a sensation was stirred up
in this village over the reports sent
to the governor and daily papers
that O'Malley is in danger, and that
the LeSueur county Jail is not safe
to keep any prisoner in. The facts
are that one w. d. Sheehy OF st.
Paul came here last Saturday after
noon and soon got into a heated
argument with travelling man,
claiming that O'Malley will never
hang because he is an Irishman. Sun
day evening Sheehy went TO bed
quite early and about three O'Clock
Monday morning arose and went to
saloonkeeper and asked for drink,
but the saloonkeeper refused to get
up and give it to him. Sheehy then
went to the Jail and asked Sheriff
Keogh for a revolver and a star,
claiming that Governor Eberhart
sent him here to protect OMalley.
Sheehy Was Drinking.
Later in the morning after the sa-
looms had opened and Sheehy had
drank some whisky he opened up
the O'Malley matter again and about
ten o'clock went to the telephone
in the saloon and called up Cover
nor Eberhart, informing him that
he had better do something with
O'Malley before he killed his guard !;
that the people were very much con-
cerned over the situation, and that
he, the governor, had better do
something pretty soon or that the
people of this place would lynch
O'Malley. Soon thereafter the COVER
nor called up the sheriff and asked
him if he wanted protection and if
there was any danger of lynching
O'Malley, to which the sheriff replied
that there was no danger and he
wanted no assistance in protecting
OMalley.
Simpson Spoke Also.
Attorney General Simpson called
up little later and informed the
sheriff that the Jail here had been
condemned and that the sheriff
would be held responsible for any
one he keeps therein over twenty

O'Malley was to be taken out OF the
Jail surreptitiously and placed aboard
the Milwaukee train which reaches
this city at nine o'clock at night.
Arriving here he was to be conveyed
to the county jail and there lock

Everything Calm and Serene.
The Free Press at once got in
communication with Sheriff Keogh at
lie Sueur Center. He stated that
everything was calm and serene in

not be taken to Mankato. There was
no talk of lynching. The sheriff
spoke in pleasant even tone OF

Someone Was Excited.

in The Pioneer Press of today:

ment, M. N. G., tonight denied that
he had received any orders to so
to lie Sueur to aid the sheriff of lie
Sueur in protecting Martin O'Malley,
convicted of murder and sentenced
to death. The militia company,
however, was assembled at the drill
hall almost to a man, apparently in
readiness for any sudden task which
might be imposed upon it. The
sheriff of Blue Earth county here
said that he had heard nothing of
the threatened lynching OF LIE Sueur

feelings went he would be willing to
admit the prisoner to his Jail.

Charged With Bieamy; Connected
With Story at Blue Earth.

Detroit, Mich, April 5.-Lamont l..
Signor, alias Howard Penny, alias
William Sterling, was arrested yester-
day morning on charge of embez
cling $34 from his employer, J. a.
Mott.
The police declare that Signor COM
mitted bgamy here, Sunday, while
they. were searching for him, and
that he is wanted in Blue Earth,
Mimi, for either blowing or robbing
a safe and getting away with 5000.
Signor told his wife Sunday, that
the Ohio authorities were on his
trail and that he was going to skip
to New York. Instead, the police as
sert he married a Detroit west side
girl that day, under the name Of
Sterling.
When the detectives went to thc
house Of wife No. ] she told about
the Blue Earth affair, saying she
had written the victim in the Min
nesota city, asking him if he would
drop the complaint, if the money
was returned. The Blue Earth man
replied that the case was out of his
hands.
The police are working on the
Blue Earth report and the Sunday
wedding. They have the name of
the bride and her address and the
name of the clergyman who perform
cd the ceremony. If these complaints
are not strong enough. ii is likely
Signor will be taken TO Blue Earth
to answer to the safe blowing
charge.
