with a Milwaukee capitalist Bareuther
learned that he could dispose of the

Great excitement was caused to-day by
the arrest of Miles Wagner and Henry
Zundberg charged withmaliciously placing
alarge quantity of gunpowder in astick and
causing thereby an explosion in the law
office of f.. E. Latham. 1t appears from
the evidence that on Feb. q last, while sew
eral people were present, Mr.. Latham's
stove was blown to pieces by a loaded stick,
but the fire, through promptness, was ex-
tiuguished. Very great efforts have been
made to discover the offenders, and by the
aid of detectives it is alleged the matter
has been brought to light. It was
claimed by the prosecution that admissions
Of guilt were made by the prisoners to the
detectives, one of whom was staying with
one of the prisoners, that second attempt
was made on another stove and that a load
ed stick was found in the wood pile at the
Herald Office, and that the prisoners con-
1essed their completely to the detectives.
Evidence was produced tending to show
previous enmity. Wagner was committed
to Jail, the offense not being bailable, and
Zundberg acquitted. The evi dence of
Thomas Wilson, a Minneapolis detective,
with regard to the loadingtof other sticks
with %gunpowder was of an exceedingly
