BOESEI/S iii(i:\\it:iks Dellsrbted Ernest A. Otto* !>«>*, but Dill \o Iliirin. Oflicer Boesel, of the Rondo street sta tion, is thinking of discarding the re volver that he lias been wont to carry for a more cumbersome, but, in his hands, a more effective, ""ax, as a result. of an occurrence that took place the oilier <lay when he ineffectually tired six shots at close range at a *dog larger than a young calf. The dog was im mensely pleased at the salute fired in its honor and made merry over the occasion until its life was cut short by a well directed bullet fired by an ordinary citi zen wearing striped trousers. Ernest A. Otto, a druggist living at 205 Sherbume avenue, lias been the posses sor of a well-br •.! dog weighing some thing over 125 pounds that had alway^i been a kind of a pet in the family until recently it developed nomadic habits. As a result of the lapse in right living the dog a few days ago snapped at a little child and the parents of the victim entered a complaint and asked to have the dog shot. Officer Hoes. 1 was detailed for the de ; d and appeared at 205 Sherburne avemre to be Introduced to Ms victim. He was armed with a large revolver, but when he saw the overgrown canine playfully tearing up a :>i^.'e of old mattress in the Otto front yard he weakened. "1 don't like his looks," observed Hi. assas&ian to Mr. Otto. "Can't you tie him up somewhere?" Accordingly th- dot, was lured to the barn and fastened with a stout rope In -i stall in such a manner that it only had about four feet of leeway. Then with one last look at his pel the owner retired to the woodshed and waited to hear the shuts that would announce the tragedy. Lot Avers, a neighbor, who had not the ! s;:me affection for the canine as it* : owner, waited to see the shooting. Several minutes that seemed " hours < <i before Mr. Otto heard a rever berant shot.followed by a whole fusillade, j lie counted the shots; Six had been fired and all was over, he thought With the feelings of one who had been accessory to a .1 ;ed the owner approach ed the barn and looked in. instead of a mangled corpse he beheld the d.^- frisk ing around delighted, apparently, under I the impression that the Fourth had ar rived sooner than usual. Then Officer Boesel was in a quandary. He did not want to go back to the Rondo streel station and report that he had used six cartridges on the dog and h* had inn out of ammunition. The prob lem was finally solved, however, by Mr. Ayers, who went Ik.me for his kuh and accomplished • the death nf the canine.

THE ST. PAUL GLOBE, SUNDAY, JULY 2, 1899 GiMEK OJf THE STAND HIS TESTIMONY IN THE SV*'A\'- STROM CASE OCCII'IEU SEVERAL, HOURS WALL OF OBJECTIONS KAISED Rut the County Attorney Sneered* iii Getting Sotiiie Facts Before the Jury — Former C'onmiiHsioner Dearth and One of the Policy holders Tell IV lint They Know About the Concern. The second day In the trial of Andrew P. Swanstrom <>n an Indictment charging Hi.' larcens of $625.25 from the funds of the Order of Minnehaha, of which he wns supreme secretary and treasurer, was tedious and uneventful. All the fore noon and part of the afternoon were spent by the state In trying to show that Dr. Ginner, the state's principal witness, kept a record of the money taken in from members of the order on assess ment calls and in introducing the rec ords in evidence. Every move on the part of County Attorney Bigelow was met with a storm of objections by Attor neys W. H. McDonald, John H. Ivea and T. J. McDermott, representing the de fendant. Judge Lewis finally became tiled of the Incessant Bre df recrimina lions and several limes brought the attorneys up with a round turn. As on the preceding day the court room was packed with interested spectators, many of whom had been policy holders in the defunct Order of Minnehaha. Dur ing part of the afternoon Judge Kelly appeared In the court room and occu pied a seat on the bench with Judge Lewis, listening to the testimony. The appearance of the defendant, who was seated with his attorneys. Indicated that the strain of the trial is having an ap preciable effect on him. He looked hag gard and care worn. When court opened in the morning Dr. Glnner, former supreme president of the order, was recalled by the state and shown a postal card that he identitled as one of the assessment cards sent out in 1897. Then County Attorney Bigelow offered in evidence the policyholders' record, which was also Identified. "All the entries were made by au thorized persons," said the witness. The book was finally received in evi dence after a long argument, and Dr. Ginner was temporarily withdrawn to be succeeded by former Insurance Commis sioner Klmer H. Dearth, who testified that he had Issued a license to the Or der of Minnehana In 1897 and ISOS. He had kept the articles of incorporation on file at his office. Then state exhibit "E" was offend, showing the transfer of all the assets and liabilities of the Minne haha Mutual Life Insurance association to the Order of Minnehaha. Attorney McDonald raised an objection, and after another argument the offer was re jected. "I visited the office of the Order of Minnehaha Jn 1896," said Mr. Dearth. "I met Ginner there and also Secretary Swanstrom. Afterwards Mr. Ginner and Mr. Swanstrom came to my office to gether. This was in the spring of 1898, before the license was issued, and they explained to me the general standing of the order. The license was issued about March 1, IS9S, based on the statement made by the officers in 1597, which J passed upon and approved." Cross-examined by Attorney McDonald the witness testified that at the time the articles of incorporation were filed !n his office there was no certificate of tKe attorney general attached, as required by law. When Swanstrom called at the commissioner's office in February 3893, he stated he had come at the in stance of Mr. Ginner and he fnight have added that he was not an officer of the order at the time. He had said that all the interest he had in the Issuance of a license was to protect the older members of the order who were beyond the insurance age and could not be re insured anywhere if dropped. At the conclusion of Commissioner Dearth's testimony Dr. Ginner was re called and County Attorney Bigelow of fered certain pages of the record book to show that the Minnehaha Mutual Insur ance association has emerged itself into the Order of Minnehaha. The state's of fer was finally received against the ob jection of the counsel for the defense Then Mr. Bigelow asked triumphantly: "Was any further business done by the association?" Were the members of the association assessed and was the money collected by the Order of Minnehaba?" From the assessment book the county attorney read .he names of Granville Fales. Michael Moffatt. G. p. Freeman W. R. ScofieM, Co.. .1. o. <'. Lee. D S. A.; W. F. Weber, R. B. Bassford', Dana White, Dr. C. A. Wheaton. W. T>. Fish. J. L. Cater, Charles Eaton and W. M Croome. All these the witness testified were members of the association. "I was a member of the Minr.ehaha Mutual Insurance association and was presiiUnt in 1896." continued the witness. "Andrew P. Swanstrom was secretary. I canont state positively in whose-tfiand writing tin- records <>f the association arc. To the host of my knowlodg-e the writing is that of Swanstrom. I believe that the minutes as c£itained in the rec ord book are true." The minutes of the association were of fered in evidence, and County A'torney Bigelow read a section showing the merg ing of the association Into the Order of Minnehaha. "The books show the old members con tinuing the payment of their assessments on old policies," said the witn On cross-examination Dr. Qlnner testi fied that Swanstrom had tendered his res ignation an Nov. 2, 1897, and thai on Nov. 22 it was accepted. Anything done by Swanstrom subsequent i<> the acceptance ol the resignation was as acting secretary ai the request of the witness. The certif icates issue] in 1898 were not under the 1897 charter. Certain red ink entries on Register P.. of the association books, the witness explained, referred to issues un der the charter of 1898. All mail was re ceived in a posti fflc* box. of which the witness had the k--y. Swanstrom was In Louisville during a pari of 1898, and wit ness attended to everything personally. The assessments were paid in money ord ers, drafts, checks or cash at the office, and the custom was to report all pay ments to the witness on slips so that they could be entered on the cash hooks. There were no directors' meetings during 1898, but several consultations were held by the officers of the order Attorney McDonald called attention to the fact that the record kepi by the witness contained only two payments of Call Xo. 15. "Is that all the money you received on that assessment, doctor?" asked Mr. I Y.S. "I don't know." replied the witness, who was unable to explain the condition of the books. "Yon did not allow anyone to do any bossing while you were around, did you?" inquired Mr. ryes, who has 1. ... n the at torney of the order. "1 don't know that I did any bossing, T didn't boss you even," rejoined Dr! Ginner, tartly. "No; it kept mp busy setting my money," returned Mr. Ives. The witness said the card system, which was used to take the place* of books in k< eping track of the assessments, had proven a failure and has been abandoned The cards were left in the office. Here the county attorney returned to the charge, and elicited the information that the method of making the assessment calls was by postal cards, which were sent out numbered consecutively, and "-^wing the time when the call was due. "Was any money received by you from polieyholders or" the Order of Minnehaha, of which there are no entries on the book?" . :->T»^-; "The entries would have been made If v\> h;;ii been given time to make up .mr books." "When were you married?" was the nexi question, and met with an objection, but Mr. Hh;.M.:w gained his point by stat ing that he wanted to sh >vv that Swan strom had been in sole charge of things for a time. "It was on May 31, IS9S," said the wit ness in reply. v "Who was in charge?" "Andrew P. Swanstrom." "H- was aotins? in the capacity of sec iviary?" "He was all the time, continuously. while I was <v»nnected with the order. lie sent out all the receipts for money paid in." The statement of the Order of Minne haha to th»» insurance commissioner, .Urn <1 December, 1897, was admitted in evidence showing that Samuel G. Ginner was the prestdeVit, and Andrew P. Swan strom was the secretary. Re-cross-examined the witness testified thai the reason certain blanks were left in the record book was to permit at a later day the entry of certain amounts ill! I had been paid in and were on mem orandums to be entered. When Swan strom went to Louisville in September, ]si) 7, he had signed- a number of certif icates, and given them to the witness for use during his (Swanstrom's) ab sence. N Charles Baton, residing at 319 Chestnut street, testified that he was one of the policyholders in the Order of Minnehaha, and had been a member of the associa tion. He had received the call for as sessment No. 15. and paid $y.SO to the Order of Minnehaha, receiving a receipt, sigfted A. P. S. He was pretty certain that the money had been paid to Swan strom. The same was the case in re gard to assessment No. 16, for which he held a receipt. Neither of the amounts paid In showed on the record books. Similar testimony was offered by R. B. Bassford, of Stillwater, who had paid by check. Tlit> check was offered in evidence, and court adjourned until 9 a. m. tomor row mi lining. Will DIRECT THE DIVISION COT.. WILLIAM T.

Tho detailed figures which show the expendi tures from the several funds are given below. There was a decrease of (25,620 In the amount of interest paid this year, but this was more than »evened up by an Increase in the street and sewer main tenance, park board, judgment, lighting, Bre, police, court house and city hall and printing and stationery funds.

Blew Pulacea on Wheel* for the StilUvatt-r Line. The street railway company announce that the new cars which are to be placed on tho Stillwater Interurban line will be the most up-to-date cars owned by the company, or, for that matter, any com pany in the country. The cars now in course of construction will be run on the line and not as in the case with the ones advertised by the company for the Selby avenue. Una be put on for a w ek or so and then suit over to Minneapolis. At least, Supt. Smith says the new ones will be operated as soon as they . are com pleted. The new cars are to be supplied with air brakes and air whistles. The com piessed air for the brakes and whistles is- to be supplied by a small electric motor which operates an air pump. This plan will relieve the motoneer of con* edderable labor and will also allow the cars to be stopped quickly. The air whistles will be used in place of the usual gong in the district outside of St. Paul and Still witer, where the cars will be run at a high rate of speed, and for this reason a gong would not give suit able warning. Within the city limits the gongs will be used the same as on other cars. A new wrinkle on the cars will also be a telephone with each car. These are designed for the benefit of the service. The line between St. Paul and Stiil water is a single track one and as it frequently happens the place of meeting must be changed or an accident occurs. It then becomes necessary to communi cate with the power station and the tele phone will make this possible. Attached to the telephone in each car will be a coil of wire fifty feet long with a switch plug in one end. At intervals of) each quarter mile there will be places where the motoneer can cut in on the tele phone wire between St. Paul and Still water and communicate with the power house or car barn. 'The cars are to be equipped with four Instead of two motors, which will allow the use of trailers with each ear. The company will cross the Wisconsin Cen tral on the Stillwater extension under the tracks Instead of at grade and thus avoid accidents. The work on the power house at Wildwood is being pushed and other im provements at r.hia resort will be com pleted in two weeks. The baih house will, '.\lien completed, contain aboul rooms, with special apartments for v, omen and children. FILE THREE BONDS. N. I*. l.nnsforil'K Way to Heal a l*uz. -i«- in Ltiieal Civic*. N. P.
