WILLIAM PAVIT,

IN IMtcrrietc WITH the Nan Charged With
the Inh,snt0n Treatment Of Freddy Bon
diu-Adn,its the 1Iaterial Points md is
Very Pcnitcnt.
The horrible details Of the case of the in
human treatment of the little boy at Maple
Grove, as reported in yesterdays GLOBE,
caused unusual promptness in the action of
the law. and it is with pleasure we are en-
abled to state that the perpetrator of the
crime was yesterday securely locked within
the walls of the Hennepin county Jail. I'm
mediately after the issuance of the warrant
for Mr.. Pavit's arrest, deputy sheriff Stoddart
started for Maple Grove and at 3 o'clock
yesterday morning returned with the prison
er in his custody. There was no serious
difficulty experienced in making the arrest,
although it was quite evident that Mr.. Pavit
was angered at what he at first seemed to
deem an interference with his rights.
Thinking that perhaps the prisoner might
charged against him, The GLOBE reporter.
through the courtesy of Sheriff Thompson,
was yesterday admitted to brief interview
with him.
Mr.. Pavit is man of medium stature,
thin in the face, wears light chin
whiskers, weighs about 145 pounds, is 25
years of age. and upon first appearance does
not give any external evidence of the maniac
temper which it would seem is SO often
aroused within his breast.
The reporter first explained to Mr.. Pavit
the nature of the charges made against him,
and asked if he had any statements to make
i'll reply. Other questions followed, which
drew from the prisoner the following state
ment:
81 have been accused, am told, of having
punished tho boy by heating ions hot and
applying them to his flesh. That part OF
the story I deny. never did
it. I did whip him once. think
it was with branches. I was &C

tell positively that it was branches / used
This whipping was because my wife during
my absence had sent him to the barn to fee6

The Committee ReDort IN. the Case Of Eu,-
rinDtOn and Branch rs. The City.
A difference has for two or more years ex-
listed between Messrs. Harrington g. Branch,
contractors, and the city, owing to the dis
puted stipulations of a certain contract for
water mains, which original contract can not
be found. Messrs. Harrington & Branch
claimed sum of about ST 900 to be due
them under said contract, and the council,
after figuring for a time, could only
figure the same at about 5000.
The matter some time since. was referred
to an arbitration committee, consisting of
Messrs. III. w. Brown, A. G. Austin and II.
M. Cameron. This committee have been
engaged for several days in taking testimony,
and at a late hour yesterday afternoon re-
turned u verdict for the contractor for
$1,167, rejecting claims to the amount of
$G18.19, together with interest
claimed on the sum in dispute
Among the rejected claims were
those for pipe, fixtures, repairs, and expenses
of two trips from Chicago. By the commit
tee, Messrs. Harrington & Branch receive
about 5000 more than the council would
have allowed, and about 5000 less than they
put in a claim for.

NOTICE.

ToMe Citizens of minneapolis and Ticinity
Having closed our retail business, we take
this opportunity Of expressing to our friends
and retail customers our earnest appreciation
of the substantial support and encouragement
given us since we came here. It is only through
our retail business that we are able to-day to
take place among the leading wholesale notion
and hosiery houses of the West. While our
retail business has paid our expenses in bnild-
ing up our wholesale business, it has at the
same time given us our character as men and
merchants. Earnestly thanking our friends
for past favors, we wish to say at the same
time, that we propose to do our wholesale bus
mess on the same fair basis we have always
done our retail business, and that as we have
agreed to discontinue retailing we cannot in any
instance or in any quantities sell goods to par
tics who are not dealers. If our friends will
bear this in mind they will not be offended if
we refuse to sell them goods.

my own COW. never made the boy sit up
nights. He always went to bed when he
wanted to-, after the chores were done.
shall try to do better after this, and if l ever
get SO mad again hope somebody will
shoot me.''
The above is the substance of the story
given, in which it will be seen that the main
charges are not denied. The scars from the
hot irons show for themselves, and the
black and blue surface of the body
would indicate that those switches were
saw logs. We are afraid Mr.. Pavil's memo
~ is defective, and that there will be proof
of the midnight charge. It is policy to be
penitent behind bars, and the jailor states
that he was so penitent yesterday morning,
that he (the jailor) would have suffered the
fate of the boy, had he not been more mus
cular, and been armed with a bunch of keys.
The interview was closed by the arrival of
the dinner hour, and among the number that
filed in by the reporter was ex-comptroller
Earnest Eastman, He obtained his
tin plate, bowl of soup, hunk
of bread and meat and after passing a few
words with The GLOBE representative, re-
turned to the corridor of his cell. Mr.. Ort-
man has grown slightly thin in flesh since
his confinement, but otherwise is as jolly
and hearty as ever. Declining the invitation
of prisoner to remain long enough to get
a couple of good square meals, the iron door
swung on its hinges, and news was gathered
in elsewhere.
