DEADLY DOSE FAILS
TO END CAREER OF
A.L. EGCERT
Bookkeeper in Comptroller's
Office Takes Poison Euough
by Mistake to Kill Four
Men but His Life Is Saved
by Prompt Medical Treat
ment,
A. L. Eggrert, head bookkeeper
in City Comptroller Betz's office,
yesterday afternoon swallowed a tab
let containing four grains of shloride of
mercury and still lives.
It was an accident and only for the
prompt work of Drs. Bole and Hac
donald, who liberally dosed him with
emetics, he would have died a horrible
death.
Eggert, who happened to be in the
basement of the city hall yesterday,
sauntered out of curiosity into the lab
oratory attached to the health depart
ment. Here he encountered a smallpox
patient, who had been placed in one of
the rooms adjoining until the ambu
lance could be secured. Scared out of
his wits at the sight, he made a rush
for the corridor.
Breathless and frightened he told
Deputy Comptroller Swan Ponthan of
the encounter and that official advised
him to wash his face and hands, adding
carelessly, as he shoved a bottle to
wards him, "Take a tablet."
Eggert followed the deputy's advice
literally and the next minute the poi
sonous tablet had slipped down his
throat.
'Gee, but it burns," he remarked to
Ponthan, "what do you call that stuff?"
"You didn't swallow it," cried Pon
than in alarm. "My God you are a
dead man!"
The next minute Eggert, with his
stomach smarting under the caustic
poison, was in a mad race with death
and dashing into the office of Dr. R. S-
Bole, which is across the street from
the city hall, informed him what had
occurred.
"D it man, you're pretty cool
about it. Don't you know that you
have swallowed enough mercury to kill
four men. That's a deadly poison"
said Dr. Bole.
Poured Emetics Into Him.
As quick as emetics could be secured
they were poured into Eggert, and with
Dr. Macdonald assisting, Eggert was
soon brought out of danger. The poi
son burned him some but otherwise
he was unhurt. Pie returned to the
office, but did little figuring the re
mainder of the afternoon.
Ponthan explained that he simply
suggested that Eggert dissolve one of
the tablets, which is a disinfectant, in
water, and had no thought that he
would take it inwardly.
The smallpox patient Eggert encoun
tered was a transient whom the health
department had picked up, and as is
customary, had put him in the labora
tory temporarily. The department
asked for a special room for this pur
pose some time ago but it was never
granted.
"That was a close call and I don't
feel right yet," said Eggert yesterday
afternoon after the excitement attend
ing his accident had died down, and he
had been pronounced out of danger.
"When I put the tablet on my tongue
it smarted and I must have spit some
of it out. It burns yet, but they tell
me lam all right now. Gee, but I get
the shivers every time I think of it."
Catarrha! Headache.—That dull,
wretched pain in the head just over
the eyes is one of the surest signs that
the seeds of catarrh have been sown
and it's your warning to administer the
quickest and surest treatment to pre
vent the seating of this dreaded mala
dy. Dr. Agnew's Catarrhal Powder
will stop all pain in ten minutes, and
cure.—s.
GOVERNOR ASKS THE
SHERIFFS TO EXPLAIN
Demand Made Upon Forsythe and Mo-
Millan to Justify Their Conduct.
Gov. Van Sant has formally called
upon Sheriffs Forsythe, of Watonwan,
and McMillan, of Nicollet counties, for
an account of their conduct in this
city last Saturday night while in charge
of Frank Tanke, the condemned prison
er under life sentence for murder. Let
ters sent yesterday to Forsythe at St.
James and McMillan at St. Peter, call
upon those officers to make such an
swer as they can to the charges that
they took Tanke out with them on a
drinking and sight-seeing tour of the
town.
Thus far it has been made to appear
to the governor that Sheriff Williams,
of Blue Earth county, who was also
in the party, was not acting in any
official capacity and was therefore not
responsible to the same extent as the
other two. Gov. Van Sant states that
he will, in due course, sift the matter
thoroughly and place the blame where
it may properly belong.

BOURNE GETS A
GLIMPSE OF WORLD
Former Deputy County Audi
tor Brought From State
Prison as Witness.
Temporarily released from the
Stilhvater prison on a writ of habeas
corpus, Walter B. Bourne, former dep
uty county auditor, was brought to
St. Paul yesterday to testify in the
case of the county against D. M. Sul
livan, former auditor, and his bonds
men, F. B. Kellogg, C. A. Severance
and D. M. Robbins. The action is
brought to recover $5,862.82, alleged to
have been lost during Mr. Sullivan's
term of office as the result of Bourne's
fraudulent actions.
Bourne, who has served a year and
a half of his fifteen-year sentence, is
looking well, having gained some thir
ty pounds during his eighteen months
of confinement. His gray hairs are
more numerous. It was expected he
would be called upon to testify yes
terday, but the case is dragging and
he was not called. He is at the coun
ty jail and will be placed on the stand
today.
The present suit against Sullivan is
the first of a number of similar actions
which will probably be tried in the
near future. They are against former
auditors and county treasurers and all
of them grow out of embezzlements of
Bourne. Others against whom i^-tions
are pending are Former Auditor W. R.
Johnson and his sureties, the Na
tional Security company, to recover
$11,832.55; one against O. H. Arosin
and his surety, the United States Fi
delity and Guaranty company, to re
cover $11,000, and one against Elmund
and his sureties, M. Auerbach, J. W.
Lusk, M. P. Ryan, P. M. Kerst, Joseph
Haag, C. L. Horst, Joseph Lockey, T.
B. Scott, R. A. Smith, William Daw
son, Theodore Hamm and E. Vanish
to recover $7,000.
Bourne was deputy auditor under
Sullivan and was retained by W. R.
Johnson when he became auditor. If
was during Johnson's term of office
that Bourne's system of defrauding
the county was discovered. An in
vestigation disclosed the fact that he
had carried on for years a scheme
of wholesale fraud in the forgery of
redemption and refunding orders,
which were cashed by the county
treasurer. Bourne was tried and found
guilty on two indictments, and sen
tenced to fifteen years in the peniten
tiary.
He was brought over from Still
water by one of the prison deputies
yesterday, but no one was permitted
to converse with him during the time
he was about the court house.

STUDENTS WILL REPEAT
AN AMERICAN CITIZEN
Juniors of Central High to Give Sec
ond Production of Play.
The junior class of the Central
high school has just given and will
repeat on Friday night, Nat Goodwin's
bright and entertaining play, "An
American Citizen." Amateur per
formances are not always of the
kind to be appreciated by the general
public, but this is so cleverly put on
by the young actors that It will be en
joyed not only by their indulgent
friends, but by anyone who likes a
good play.
The part of Beresford Cruger (the
American citizen) is acted by George
Woods, who takes the part with a
spirit and go which would alone put
life into the play from beginning to
end. He has done good work before
as a purely comic actor, but in this
part he not only has a chance to be
funny, but algo gives the more serious
passages with a feeling which is quite
unusual.
Morris Lanpher makes an excellent
Peter Barbury — Cruger's bustling,
funny little business partner, hard of
hearing when he wishes to be, and
assuring each of his fair friends In
turn that hers Is "the only voice he
can hear distinctly."
Adolph Rank has a double role,
first as the smiling stuttering clerk,'
Lucas, and later in the part of Eger
ton Brown, the villain of the play,
which he acts in quite a professional
way.
Edmund Dibble, in the part of Otto
Stroble. the breezy German Ameri
can with some new scheme always on
hand, and Arthur McDonald as the
English nobleman. Sir Humphrey
Bunn, both do good work; Jay Strane
Is the waiter, and Raymond Heath
makes quite a hit as Sims, the Eng
lish valet. : :"'
Lillian Goodenow as Beatrice Ca
rew, and Hazel Bartlett as Georgia
Chapin, make a pretty and effective
contrast in the characters of the Eng
lish and American girL They both
take their parts well.
Miss Carola Chapin, who thinks she
is younger than she Is, is one of the
funniest parts in the play, and is
taken extremely well by Louise
Magnuson. :
Helen Cummings is as natural as
possible In the part of Lady Bunn
and Elizabeth Breen acts well as a
dainty and saucy French maid In the
third act, and an engaging little office
boy in the fourth.
A flower; dance by six girls, in the
second act, is a charming feature of
the play.
♦v,Th Si peformailee " is put on under
the direction of Miss Helen Austin
who is an enthusiastic and able di
rector. _C...

FIRE BOARD WANTS
TO HAVE ALL
TJteSAY
Hereafter Appointments and
Transfers in the Depart
ment Will Be Regulated
by a Special Committee of
the Board Instead of the
, Chief. ;
The long-established custom follow
ed by the chief of the fire department
of first making appointments and
transfers and then depending on the
board of fire commissioners for their
confirmation is in danger of abridg
ment.
The board wants to have a hand in
the matter, and last night discussed
the proposition to the extent of dele
gating Commissioners Schweizer and
Freeman to revise the rules of the de
partment.
'"When that stoker was appointed,
six months ago," remarked Commis
sioner Schweizer, "you all wanted a
hand in it, and in consequence the
chief's apnointment was turned down.
I believe all appointments and trans
fers should be first referred to this
board before going into effect. It
would often save trouble and embar
rassment."
Chairman Warner held to the opin
ion that the present custom was the
best, as the chief was best fitted to
know what men were the most com
petent to fill vacant positions, but his
remarks did not make any impres
sion.
Commissioner Brace favored Com
missioner Schweizer's scheme, and, as
a step in the proposed reform, he sug
gested and secured approval of a mo
tion calling for a revision of the pres
ent rules. *
The present disagreement, it is un
derstood, emanates from the failure of
Chief Jackson to submit last night the
name of the party whom he proposes
to appoint as captain of the new en
gine company -recently established 'in
St. Anthony Park. Chief Jackson ex
plained last night that he did not
know that iite board was in such a
hurry for the appointment, it being
his intention to have the place filled
about June 1. The party to whom the
position has been offered wanted time
to consider, and that, he said, was the
reason of the delay.
Chairman Sch,wei?er explained
after the meeting,'that the board had
no intention of abridging Chief Jack
son's authority. "We simply want to
simplify matters," he said.

ON MOTORCYCLE
B. P. Bergan Experiences a Wild Ride
and a Smash-Up.
B. P. Bergan, 87 East Isabel street,
wrecked the best record of all known
motor cycle riders yesterday morning
for a quarter-mile stretch on South
Wabasha street.
In some unknown manner the mech
anism of his machine became out of
order and the high jinks it played
were wonderful to behold. The thor
oughly frightened rider, in an en
deavor to remedy the matter, in his
excitement, turned on the full energy
of the machinery.
And then the race commenced in
deadly earnest, horses and pedestrians
crossed his pathway at every street
he knew that eventually he must
strike one of them, he feared to leap
and the wind-up was that in trying
to avoid running down an old wom
an he swerved too suddenly and was
spilled by the wayside.
When picked up he was uncon
scious, and the machine was a total
wreck The arrival of Dr. Hawkins
showed that the man had not sus
tained serious injuries though badly
cut and bruised.

Here's one of those odd occurrences that make for great saving when men "set
next" to the event. The makers of the "Stag" 1.00 Negligee Shirt, when they
rounded up the factory some weeks ago, found a few thousand pieces left
over from the 1.00 shirtings. These pieces of fine madras
we have had made up into soft summer shirts with attach- W* 4*k

GHOSTLY ALARMS
ARE TURNED IN
Police Mystified by Strange
Calls to a St Paul Whole
sale House.
A very mysterious condition of af
fairs exists about the wholesale es
tablishment of the Nonatuck Silk
company, Jackson street, between
Fourth and Fifth.
At 3 o'clock yesterday morningl an
A. D. T. burglar alarm stationed in
the place turned in an alarm, and in
answer a police officer and a Western
Union employe were soon at the place.
They searched the place thoroughly,
accompanied by J. D. Berends, a
manager of the establishment, but
nothing was found to be out of place,
and no trace of an entrance could be
discovered.
The most curious feature of the
matter Is that this is the second alarm
of the kind, with identical results, un
der almost similar circumstances. The
other alarm was turned in late la
March.
