ST, PAUL MAN IN HOSPITAL ~ PROM ATTACK Fireman Brutally Tortured By Man Believed By Police to Be Insane Paul, July 31—(AP)—Burnt, cut and whipped, Edward Horrigan 29 years old, a city fireman, was in a serious condition at a hospital today as the result of five ‘hours of torture at the hands of a man believed by po- lice to be insane. Summoned last night to the home of Walter H. Fletcher, 37, through o ruse, Horrigan was forced, at the point of a rifle, where he was handcuffed and bound and then cked. While Roy Kleinsmith, 18, held the rifle, police said, Fletcher beat his victim into insensibility. ‘Then he cut small slices of skin off Horrigan’s body, using a razor. A black snake whip was lashed across the fireman's back and lighted matches were applied to other parts of his body. letcher then boasted to a friend and ‘a photographer and tried to ‘hire the latter to take a pic- ture of Horrigan. The two sum- moned police, who said th would for a sanity Investigation for Fletcher, The attack was the result of what Fletcher called an alleged wrong, the nature of which was not revealed by police. Both Fletcher and Klein- amith were held by police. Klein- smith said he protested Fletcher's actions, but was forced by the latter to hold the rifle.

Police picked up a dead “gunman” near New York's police headquarters, yesterday, a “refined” gunman, fash+ jonably dressed. According to the police he was just a little too.refined, and that caused his death. This professional ler was sent from Buffalo to kill a man marked for death in a bootleg feud. The man to he killed was too qi for the hired killer, shot -him dead. The police ‘say “the dead gunman was wearing silk gloves, very slippery and couldn't get @ good grip on his pistol. That cost his life.” Gunmen, take warning. Don’t be too refined. President Coolidge’s representative. Colonel Carl Thompson, visited 5,000 lepers of ‘he Culion colony and he found 4,000 of them organized i: parade to greet him.

Put- Up 350 Tons of Hay The situation this section of the state is merely a proposition of get- ting the fellow who has the hay and the fellow who needs it together, in the opinion of W. T. Knowles, who is associated with two brothers in the operation of a big farming, realty and development organization. The Knowles brothers own 15 sec- tions of land in Burleigh county and recently pulled a crew of 28 men off rond work and put them at making hay. More than 350 tons of hay have already been stacked and more is in prospect. 5 Mr. Knowles was in the city yester- day, endeavoring to help such farm- ers us may need feed.

Early in Wis college ca¥per he felt thé call of the weat and, bor- rowing $50 anker uncle, set] beyond the Mis. pi. er a long journey he lanied in Towa, but soon found that the tales of untold riches easily acquired in that then virgin country were in a vt with some of the myths re- counted in the hooka of his school days. After his uid) asrets dwindled to $8, he obtained a place in the office of the recorder of Clay |ton county. The pay was small and when It became necessary to refur- his wardrobe he went into the untry, where as a carpenter, he he!ped to build a mill, receiving $1.60 a day. Later Mr. Cummins got a job in the express office at MacGregor, i Clayton county, on the Mississippi. There occurred the thing destined to change nis whole future. A college nd at Fort Wayne, Ind. job as assistant surveyor of county. With many misgivings the young man took the job and soon began work as a railroad builder. The immediate He was completing a link of the Cincinnati, Richmond & Fort Wayne railroad through a swamp. Cummins had no experience, and was depending on his surveyor friend to coach him, but the friend passed him in the swamp without stopping and so the new surveyor was left to sink or swim. Built Road Through Swamp Senator Cummins liked to tell friends about those days; how with great trepidation he went out over the line; dismissed the workmen for the day’ so they would not immedi- ately learn of his ignorance of the job he had tackled, and then began a careful canvass of the work that had been done so us to get ideas on which to proceed. In the end he did the job so well that he was called to a position with the Northern Central of Michigan, which he constructed. It was while engaged in this work that he met the young woman who later became Mrs. Cummins, then Miss Ida L. Gal- lery, of Eaton Rapids, Mich. The work on the Michigan road at- tracted the attention of capitalists, and he was offered a position by those who were building the ‘Rio rande. Cummins started for Den- ver, but he never got there. While waiting for his train in Chicagd a friend suggested that he remain and study law, which he did. ame Lawyer After being admitted to the bar in “hicago, he removed to Des Moines, where he worked his way to the front rapidly. It was without his own consent that he broke into polities in 1887 when me republicans bolted their party nd named him as an independent ndidate {or the legislature. He was ted and served one term. Five vars later when the leaders of the republican party in Towa ‘set about to reclaim the state from democra\ rule, he was made the chairman of the state convention. oon after Mr. Cummins made his rst fight for a place the United es senate, but was defeated by a narrow margin. He rallied to his support many young men, and the y divided into Cummins and anti- umins elements. In 1901, ufter a stormy ‘campaign, he was elected gov- ernor, a place he held until his election to the senate. - Vhile governor he started investigation .of railroad taxation, rates, earnings and capital- ization and engaged in a long strug. gle against some of the practices of the rail carriers in his state.
