4 motion for new trial in the case OF
Melchizadeck will be filed this morning.
Joseph Anderson was sentenced last even
ing to two years imprisonment at Saltwater,
for stealing watch worth S45.
Charles Gordon yesterday pleaded guilty to
the charge of committing burglary at the
store of j. H. Thompson, the merchant
tailor and clothier at rs Hennepin avenue
Stephen Burns was indicted for the same Of
Tense, and pleaded not guilty.
Horace B. Sayre and Carrie Butts were yes
terday convicted Of the crime of adultery.
Horace pleaded most pathetically to mitigate
the sentence and escaped with one years i'm
prisonment at hard labOrin Saltwater Carrie
is an old woman, of small stature, and she was
let go on furnishing bonds in the sum of
$500 to appear for sentence on Monday next.
At about O'Clock this morning a fire
broke out in the rear of the two story wooden
building, 43O Nicollet avenue, owned by J.
S. Kyles. The fire was extinguished by the
fire department, with loss to the building
OF about $500. The corner store was occu-
pied by the Golden Canister Tea store.
and the stock was probably damaged
$500. A. Jacobson owned the saloon ad-
joining and suffered a loss from smoke of
perhaps S25. Henry A. Anderson, photo
graph gallery, in the second story, was dam
aged about 800. All the propertyis insured
to more than the amount of the loss.
A young man named Lccrman was arrest
ed as an accomplish at the time of the burg
larry, but was discharged in the municipal
court for want Of evidence. Ready made
clothing and other articles valued at
$500 were stolen but subsequently
recovered. Gordon exonerated Burns from
completely in the crime, but a rubber shoe
worn by the latter was found to fit the foot
mark made in the snow on the night OF the
obbery. Flu glars tools W re also found in
the room occupied by Gordon and Burns and
the presumption is that they were con-
fedcrates. Gordon told the judge that he is
photographer and is afflicted with con-
sumption. He therefore prayed for a light
sentence. Judge Koon said the question of
i'll health was a matter for the consideration
of the governor, and not for the court. He
sentenced the burglar to three years
at hard labor in the state prison At
$50 O'Clock last evening the jury was out on
the case of Burns, who is large man of
great physical strength and activity.
The Flour City MINISTRIES opened their sea
son of three engagements to packed house
at the Grand last night. The audience was
in the best humor and rounds of applause
followed each other in rapid succession as
the entertainment progressed. The many
features were well done. In fact, as an or
ganization of amatuer talent the Flour CITY
Ministries are success. All the numbers of
the first part were well received, the song
''Some Day I'll Wander Back Again." by
Mr.. Moore, being perhaps the best. One
misfortune in minstrel entertainments is in
the infiction of the stump speech, which all
organizations seem to think necessarily
forms an adjunct. Eddie Whitcomb's
banjo solo and his clog dancing,
together with Elmer Foster and r.
Gavin were the most meritorious featues of
the evening. The company give grand
matinee this afternoon and close the season
this evening. AS the proceeds go to benefit
of the College hospital, our citizens
will doubtless fill the house afternoon and
evening.
