Mayor Eustis, Chief of Police Smith and Other Prominent Characters on Hand. At ths workhouse Friday afternoon be-tweon 4 aud 5 o'clock there wus an interest.

Ing ocourranco. Figuratively, Mathias Gross, ex-superintendent of the worhous, was ousted frum th institution, but in reality no violence was done. Mayor Eustis, backed by his sturdy chief of police, V. M. Smith, performed the ousting cremony.

It had been generally understood that Uie old superintendent. Matt Gross, was to remain at the institution until Aug. In the meantime he was to take an inventory of everything and have ail in ship-shape for his succossor, John M. Meiov. No formal demand was m.vle on Gross for the keys of the institution by Meloy, still he hal refused to turu them over to Uie new superintendent.

Mayor Eustis anticipated trouble, and notified Matt Gro-s Friday morning that ho would ouit him from Uie inst.tution in a few lu i i i in i idi ChlufSuiIlh, he drove to Saingle Creok and entored Uie workhouse. "Are you in chargo of this prison?" ho asked Supt. Moioy, as soon as Uie latter appeared. don't understand it so," was Uie answer. "Well, why don't you?" came tha next question.

"We are not through taking the Inventory, but are working hard to finish the work so that the institution can be turned over to me as soon as possible." "Who has the keys?" asked the mayor. 'They are in the key-boi," answered Mr. Gross, who was standing near. "Who has the keys to the key-box?" "I have, and so has Mr. Whalen," replied Mr.

Gross. "Mr. Whalon, open that box," domandod bis honor. Whalen did so. and went on to explain Uie uses of the dilferent keys.

Ho hai said but a few wards when the mayor seized Uie bunch of keys and handing theta to Mr. Meloy said: "Mow you take charge of this prison, and stay here day and night until further notico." The assembled guards stood aghast at this The excitement was increased whu Mr. Gross in very vigorous language protested against the manner in which he was being squelched. "This is an outrago," he said. "I am the Ieanllr elected t.

i. lours- oo, in tne ant-moon, i bome, and as such am under bonds. You are attempting to turn mo out before I am abio to turu over the institution to mv son. oesw. I protest, but I must yiold to the force of suporior power." It was quite dramatic.

He had just built the brick block which ho still owns on the corner of Third street and N'lcollot. Everybody thought ho was a great fool to rut up a block so far out in the country, and the complaining witness had taken a paculiur method of passing his judgment on the case. Every morning for a week past, on going to his new building Jacoby found that somebody had spit a mouthful cf tobacco juice on one of the plate glass windows. Ho was naturally very much in-censed and dotormined to 'lay for the por. petrator.

Engaging a man to stay in the store with him at night, the two armed themselves with clubs and watched. Along about 9 o'clock the man who did the spitting came by and repeatod the offense. Out rushed Jacoby and hie comrade in hot pursuit, whiio Uieir victim sped away. Thoy overtook him about whore the Syndicate Block now stands and belabored hlra unmercifully. The result was that they were arrested and fined.

LAID TO REST. Interment of the Remains of RoIanJ Hahn More Details of the Drowning. Roland Bruce Hahn, who was drowned in Lake Ripley, near Litchfiold Friday, was buried at Lake wood Cemetery yesterday afternoon, the funeral occurring from the parental residence, 82 Highland avenue. It waa indeed a sad procession which followed the remains to their last resting place. Only one short month ago Air.

Hahn received bis degree at the State University as b.ichelor of science, having fitted himsolf by four years of hard stuly for an honorable and useful career io the world. The story of the drown mg as loarned from Hober Hartley, one of Uie party present at Uie time of the accident, is as follows: "About 9 a. m. Hahn went down to the boat house and began rigging up a sail upon a boat, which was altogether too mrm in used as a sailboat. His companions tried to dissuade him from the perilous undertaking and when that proted unavailing, decided to follow him in a rowboat.

In the boat were myself and three young ladios, two of the ladies rowing. Suddenly while Uie ladies were trying to loosen a caught oar, the wind took a good hold of Uie sailboat and rapidly carried it 150 feet from Uie second boat and perhaps as far from the shore. Hurs a gust oi wind irom an opposite direction caught the sail and toppled the boat over. Those following saw tha accitlent WilK possible haste I seized Uie oars and started mo cHp3i7.a,i sail ooat. At nrst ail thought that Hahn had hold of the boat, but no.

lie had seized the tiller in his hand, which immediately became detached; the wind drifted the boat away and Hahn wns left making heroic struggles for life in the water. Tne secon 1 boat sped toward the drowning offering all possible encouragement. But when within 20 feet of him. he seemed to tone all hope and ap. I-eared almost lifeless.

He then sank, straight down without a struggle. The occupants of Uie row boat wora sianuiug reaJv to izn him, of him, relying upon the momentum the boat to carry them to but the fates were adverse! Wind veerA'1 tha rn-t The that it passed about 12 feot from the sinking wan, out wns orougni rigni aoout ready to roscue him when ho should come up. Vain hope. He never again rose to the surface of the water. The weeds on the bottom were thick and the wnter wns riled, so that an ob-jt-et could not be seen five feet under water, and the lake whore he sank was 10 or 12 feet Uoen.

Aftor a desperate effort to get sight of him, tha party hastened to the shore for assistance, and a search of 1' hours hronrrht tho tn ihn ing and refleected from the briirht col ored cedar. The tiller was attached to the wrist of the drowned man. Two hours were then Bpent in an effort to resuaoitate him, after which J. M. Martin went to Litchflnlrl and brought Uie body down on Uie 4:30 train."

Mr. Sayto is charmed with Minneapolis and vicinity, and is a crank on potography. In fact, every Japanese gentleman who comes here becomes iufatuated with a camera as soon as he arrives, and it is estimated Uiat there are over photographs of Minneapolis and its suburbs and points of interest now in Japan as a re. suit. In time to come the Japanese trade with Minneapolis as an Eastern distributing station will be one of the things for this city to be proud of.
