Tuesdays rain does away with the
possibility Of any great damage to the
crops from the recent hot spell, as the
moisture will strengthen the grain and
leave IL in a condition to face more
hot. weather which may come. What
warm weather the Lake region has
seen, has forced the grain along in

Early yesterday morning, a booming
of powder cracker announced the ar.

passed into history with a smaller
number Of accidents recorded than
any previous year. The firecrackers
and fireworks sold this year were not
in any measure smaller or less danger

the safeguarding Of the children using
them seemed to have received more at

The day was, Id all respects; 4an old

with its street parade and shows did
much toward making the day a sue

dren were on the streets watching for
the parade. The unloading of the big
cars, which began early in the day
was fascinating, as usual to the young

At: :Chautauqua the day was celebrat-

he, is CHARGED WITH ASSAULT
STATES ATTORNEY AND JusTIc-
Es REFUSE WARRANT FOR
SECOND oFFEMSE, -

Il. V. Bice, county auditor of Ram.
sey county, was arrested Wednesday
on the charge of assault and battery.
The warrant for his arrest was sworn
out before Justice of the Peace Juer-
gems by VIM. H. Beach Smith, report,
er for the Inter Ocean, who alleges
that Bice struck him across the face
while he and Bice were in converse
ton in the county auditors Office.
The case was continued until Mon.
day morning, according to Justice OF
the Peace Juergens who, without a
hearing the complainant's side of the
case. allowed Bice the continuance
through his attorney, City Attorney
F. T. Cuthbert. .,,..s.- b.
Bices disgraceful attack on Smith
was the result of the investigation be-
gun by the Inter- Ocean some weeks
ago into the records OF the county
auditors Office. Accompanied by the
editor Of the Inter- Ocean, Smith went
to Mr.. Bice's office Wednesday morn
ing to ask the county auditor to pro-
duce the receipts he claimed he pos
sessed for money that he had turned
into the county treasury for fees re-
ceived for certifying to transfers. ].
After accusing Smith Of having pub
lished a false interview with his de-
putty, Mr.. Kramer, Mr.. Bice saw fit to
cuss the Inter-Ocean's reporter words
that could not. beSpublished: Smith re
futed the county auditors statement
with the greatest courtesy. After the
wordy arraignment, Bice struck Smith
across the face. III, ~ 5 5
& All o'clock, Mr.. Bice, accompanied
by John r. Haslam, entered the Of
fee Of the. Inter-O Ocean, where they
found Smith alone, in charge Of the
office. After second berating Bice,
Smith alleges, made a second attempt
at assault and battery. In view of the
fact that Smith was alone it is
thought Bice attempted to egg on
the reporter, until he, too, could be
arrested on the charge of assault and
battery. Bice did not accomplish his
purpose He did, however, it is alleg-
ed, threaten Smith with severe trim
ming, meaning, it is supposed, that ne
would lie in wait for Smith until such
a time when he could give him an
other beating. .&3:
In an attempt to secure a warrant
for the arrest Of Bice a second time,
on a charge of a different nature,
Smith struck a stone wall States At
torney Duell, Justice of the Peace
Juergens and Justice Of the Peace
Hinck, each refused to issue the war
rant necessary to secure the arrest
of Bice in order to place him under
bond to keep the peace. States At
torney Duell refused to authorize the
issuance of the warrant on the
grounds that he could do nothing un-
til Smiths first case against Bice was
settled. The two Justices Of the Peace
refused to issue the warrant on the
grounds that they would receive no
pay for their work as long as the
States Attorney refused to authorize
the issuance of the warrants.

REAL CAUSE OF
STEWARDS DEATH
FATHER OF MAYVILLE YOUNG MAN
WRITES THE FORUM TELLING
FACTS OF TRAGIC ENDING
THERE WAS NO FIT OF COUGH
ING.

J. M. Stewart, postmaster of May
Vile, writes The Forum concerning the
death of his son, reported in dispatches
to have died '1n a fit of coughing" Mr..
Stewart gives the following facts re-
garding the tragic end of the young
man:
J. B. Gordon Stewart died very sud-
denly of hemorrhage on Wednesday
night at 11:1O, aged "a years, IL months
and - days.
Gordon had a slight tubercular trou-
BILE. which he and the doctors were and
had been battling with. There was no
apprehension of any immediate danger.
The day of his death he had made quite
a long, rambling walk for an outdoor
exercise, and was just as active and as
lively as he had ever appeared. In
fact he did not believe that there was
anything really wrong with himself.
That evening the youngsters of the
town gave a social party in the opera
house, where they proposed to remain
until the ushering in of Thanksgiving
day, at midnight. Gordon, Alice and
Earl left the house for the entertain
ment after $3.50 o'clock, Lloyd had gone
some little time before.
At the party Gordon told some of his
associates that he felt fine. While
talking to one of the young ladies he
placed his handkerchief to his mouth
and nose and walked out of the hall.
LISSN SO" iAhA 81 OuL anu lOlAO"CbS
and observed blood forming in the
corners of his mouth, and taking him
by the arm said: Let US go to the
doctors Office" Gordon nodded his
head and they started, a little more
than 100 feet away.
In going down the stairs from the
operahouse, and along the street, and
up the stairs to the doctors office
blood Eushed from a most violent
hemorrage with each beat of his heart.
AS they entered the doctors Office he
said: phone the folks" He sat down
on d couch, sank into Inconsistencies
and passed into eternity.
At between five and ten minutes after
II his parents and the doctors were
urgently phoned for. but before any of
them could get to him he had passed
into the great unknown home of the
dead. The shock of so sudden and so
unexpected and so tragic an ending
cannot be described. There was no
coughing, and no coughing fit. 1t ap-
pears that the tubercular attack was at
vital spot, evidently near the juno
tion of the artery and the heart. There
must have been sufficient destruction
of lung tissue to weaken the wall of
the artery, which erupted, causing
most violent and most suddenly fatal
hemorrhage. 1t seemed that the whole
blood of his system was pumped out
through the rupture as fast as the
heart could do so. It was less than
FIVE minutes from the first symptoms of
the attack until it was all over. 1t is
understood now, that nothing could

st. Paul, Dec. 14.--Joseph D, Bren,
former cashier of Minnesota, who was
arrested in June, 1910, ON. charges of
larceny and ernbezzlement after he
had told a sensational story of having
been held up and robbed of $4,000,
may never be brought to trial. He
was tried on one charge and acquitted.
Three indictments which stand against
him may be dismissed because of in
sufficient evidence.
The Hennepin county grand jury ad-
journed yesterday without returning
another indictment. A new bill had
been sought by the county attorney to
give a better case for the state. The
charge was based on the circumstances
of the disappearance of check for $27

publication. ...... -s.. ...-.
