HEYMANN WILL FAGE THE MUSIC
AND HIS WIFE IN THE WINDY CITY
Albert Heymann, the musician under
arrest in St. Paul for deserting his wife
in Chicago to elope with Mrs. Otto
Pertsch, after announcing a determina
tion to fight extradition proceedings,
decided last night to return to Chicago
and stand trial.
Deputy Sheriff Thomas Morrison, of
Chicago, who came to St. Paul with
the requisition papers, appeared before
Gov. Van Sant yesterday, and the gov
ernor, after being assured by the at
torney general that the papers were in
proper form, decided to honor the ex
tradition.
Heymann was represented at the
hearing by Attorney Thomas Dagatt,
whom he retained to fight the extradi
tion. Under the statute Heymann was
given twenty-four hours in which to
sue out a writ of habeas corpus and
instructed his attorney to take formal
steps to do so.
After a long consultation at the cen
tral station last night Heymann an
nounced his intention of abandoning
the fight and returning without further
protest. The woman with whom he has
been living as his wife during his four
month's residence in St. Paul, and
who has been assiduous in attention
upon him since his arrest, also advised
VICTOR JOHNSON DEMANDS PLAGE IN A
DUNGEON, GUT IS TAKEN TO CHICAGO
Victor Johnson, until recently a
brakeman on the Omaha road, rushed
into the police station yesterday after
noon and begged to be protected from
a mob of his enemies, whom he said
would kill him if he was not placed
out of their reach.
The man insisted that the mob was
only a short ways behind him, and he
appeared much more at ease when his
request to be placed in a cell was
granted. The man was found to be
temporarily insane, and was later tak-

Like most of our Aristocrats, he got

His Youth was spent very happily
but he did not get on to the Fact until
Years later. He used to work 14 Hours
per for his Board and Clothes and his
only Dissipation was to take in the
Swiss Bell-Ringers once every Season.
At the close of every Year he was
permitted to attend a Watch-Meeting
at the Mt. Zion Church. The Watch-
Meeting: is a form of Gaiety invented a
long time ago by some one who was
not feeling- well at the Time.
The Bunch was supposed to sit for
three or four Hours on the hard
Benches, meditating on all the low
down, ornery Things they had done
during the Old Year. Some of them
had to hurry in order to crowd this
Line of Meditation into a brief four
Hours.
Now and then a local High-Guy

talk for a short time on the Subject

today or Monday.
Otto Pertsch, the saloonkeeper, and
formerly husband of the woman, who
came to St. Paul with Deputy Morri
son to identify Heymann, was pleased
at the sudden change of mind in Hey
mann.
"Of course I am the man back of all
this," said Mr. Pertsch at the Windsor
last night. "His wife had no money
with which to do anything. She sold
everything she had to keep herself
alive after he left her. I have spent
$700 tracing this man, and I made up
my mind that I would spend my last
cent to get him. No one can blame me
after what that fellow did to me."
Mrs. Heymann, the Chicago woman,
is now on her way to St, Paul to iden
tify Heymann, bringing with her, it is
said, proof of her legal marriage to
him. Heymann is charged with de
serting her in Chicago on Aug. 15.
Pertsch alleges that his wife deserted
him on the same date, and about Sept.
20 left the city with Heymann. He
traced them to Hoboken and then to
St. Paul. Heymann was indicted by
the Cook county grand jury for deser

of Illinois issued the requisition. Hey

Deputy Sheriff La Dow took Johnson

After being locked up Johnson talk

that he be kept locked up until ready

quieted down at the jail he informed
the attendants that a year ago he had
been severely injured about the head,
and that at intervals he was subject to
such spells. A few days' rest, he
thought, would bring him around all

LIGHTING FIGHT IS
STILL IN THE COURT
Injunction Proceedings Against the
City Continue to Absorb Judge
Bunn's Attention.
The application for a temporary in
junction restraining the city from en
tering into a contract with the Cleve
land Vapor Light company for the
gasoline lighting of the city for 1903,
was submitted in Judge Bunn's court
yesterday, the entire day being taken
up with the reading of affidavits. The
arguments will be made tomorrow.
The hearing was the result of a suit
brought by John F. Broderick against
the city, the purpose of which is to
have annulled the contract entered into
with the Cleveland company by the
common council, by the terms of which
the Cleveland company is to furnish
the gasoline lights for the coming
year.
The suit is practically brought by
the Western Street Lighting company,
which claimed to have been the low
est bidder, and it is contended that the
action of the council in awarding the
contract to the Cleveland company was
not in accordance with the provisions
of the city charter.
A week ago the plaintiff secured an
order from Judge Lewis, citing the city
to appear and show cau^e why the in
junction asked for should not be in
force during the pendency of the suit
brought to have the contract an
nulled.

late.
Later On, after Tobias moved into
Town and began to wear Store Clothes
and Stand-Up Collars and put Oil on
his Hair, he encountered another kind
of New Year's Day.
The Era was that of the Opera
House. All the Women received and
the Men went over the entire Circuit
and traded job-printed Cards for
something to Eat and Drink.
This made it Fine for those who
were not ordinarily invited into the
Best Homes.
The Men roamed about In Flocks
and usually they had a Hard Finish

old Days of Democratic Simplicity for
every True Gentleman to take a Drink
when it was proffered by the Hand of
a Lovely Woman.

FOR DARK HORSE
Third Speakership Candidate
Boosters Appear* to Play
Losing Hand.
The humorous side of the speaker
ship race, which enters upon its last
lap next week, is now well to the
front.
While the candidates, Johnson and
Babcock, are exchanging expressions of
mutual regard and -each putting up the
best fight he kh.Qw%. Jm>w to land on
the caucus, the p?&ns* OrTn"e manipula
tors striving for an outbreak of bit
terness seem doomed to go awry.
The entire confidence of Babcock and
Johnson, each in his own strength, is
responsible for turning a very rich sit
uation on the would-tte manipulators
and managers of the politics of the
Republican party.
The boom started ifcjr Johnson was
disclosed a few days ■ liter as a hold

The effort of the has for

convince the counter members that
the entrance of a thnfd"Candidate would
be for the heat interest of the party
and that in no other way than the elec
tion of a third candidate could har
mony be insured. Their lack of suc
cess makes the situajtion laughable for
the Democrats, whor may sit on the
fence and watch the passing show.
Johnson says if Babcock's support
is objectionable that is a "misfor
tune." The Babcock people say John
son is not to be blamed for the polit
ical practices of the men who have
espoused his cause.

In the meantime neither side is over
looking any opportunities to make .cap
ital out of what they consider the mis
takes or misfortunes of the other and
each expects to ride to triumphant vic
tory as the result of the shortcomings
vehemently ascribed to "outsiders."
The only apparent result of the ma

third candidate crowd and a showdown
in the organization caucus between
Johnson and Babcock.
BAR ASSOCIATION IS
SOLID FOR H. R. BRILL
Legal Fraternity Indorses Dean of Dis
trict Court for Federal
Bench.
The Ramsey County Bar association
yesterday unanimously indorsed Judge
Hascal R. Brill for appointment to the
second place on the federal bench, for
which a bill is now pending in con
gress. The meeting of the association,
held at the Commercial club, was
largely attended and the enthusiasm
was marked. A committee represent
ing the association will make a thor
ough canvass in the interest of the St.
Paul candidate and bend every energy
to securing the appointment.
Grist of the Political Mill.
An afternoon paper puts Adjt. Gen.
E. D. Libby in a rather awkward posi
tion by announcing that he stated yes
terday his entire office staff would be
reappointed for the ensuing two years.
Gen. Libbey says he did not make the
statement, which is probably true, as
he is too good a politician and too good
a soldier to make unwarranted asser
tions, and it is just a little beyond his
province to dispose off hand of appoint
ments in which the governor may be
interested.
Representative Fred Lempke.of Fari
bault, one of the three members of the
Third's old guard returned to the house,
was in St. Paul yesterday taking snap

Then the Happy New Tear began to

He drew a Red Mark around Jan.
Ist, for that was the Day when he had
to make the Books balance and take
up some big Note that was hanging
over him like a Storm Cloud.
His usual Plan for celebrating the
Happy New Tear was to sit in his
Office figuring on how to trim the Pay-
Roil and sneak up Selling-Prices and
keep out of the Sheriff's Hands for
another Twelve Months.
But the Time came when Tobias
tfould take out a Pencil on Dec. 31st
and compute a Net Profit big enough
to fill a Furniture Van.
To all Intents and Purposes he had
come to the High Ground where he
could afford to sit down foe a while

He certainly possessed all the Acces

He had a Bank Roll and a House on
the Boulevard and a Wife who was
slowly but surely worming her Way

He had a Son attending a high

Daughter was at a School which used

EX-ALDERMAN KENNY INSISTS ON
MORE THAN ONE DAY IN COURT
Among the eases stricken from the
police court docket yesterday by Judge
Hine was that against John Kenny,
arrested Oct. 11 upon a complaint filed
by his brother and business partner,
ex-Aid. Terence Kenny, who charged
John with assault and battery. Terence
Kenny was in court when the case was
stricken yesterday, and his complaint
of the court's action was such that
Judge Hine threatened to fine him un
less he kept quiet. When the judge
announced his intention to dismiss the
case against John Kenny, Terence ad
vanced to the bench and demaded that
his brother be either fined or sent to
prison.
"Well, it can't be done," said Judge
Hine.
"What! Can't be done?" said Mr.
Kenny. "I don't see why it can't. I
always get a dirty deal in this court—"
"You sit down and keep quiet, or Til
fine you," said Judge Hine, and when
the ex-alderman started to speak
again Judge Hine lost his temper and
ordered the man to sit down in such
retary of the senate, and editor of the
Winnebago City Press News, was in
St. Paul yesterday bidding farewell to
his political friends, who are legion.

While the Kennys are brothers, both
having passed the fifty-year mark and
been in partnership in the man
agement of a boiler factory for years,
it is impossible for them to get along
with each other, and during the past
few months they have appeared in the
police court several times.
For a period of two years the broth
ers never spoke to each other, although
in business together. When one had
any suggestion to make to the other
regarding the management of the bus
iness, the conversation was carried on
through the bookkeeper at the boiler
factory.
This has been followed by charges
of assault made by one against the
other, which has several times result

Stieman was driving on Minnehaha

horses became frightened, and near
Forest street started to run away.
They ran up onto the cycle path and

thrown out, striking his head upon the
post with great force. His skull was
fractured so badly that from the out
