II was announced in the INrELLI.
dEScER yesterday that the authorities
were investigating the attempt to blow
up the dry goods store OF Jacobs & Har-
burger, on Main street, Sunday even
ing, and that action would be taken in
duo time. Yesterday, after considerable
inquiry and investigation, tho chief Of
police laid before Prosecuting Attorney
Howard the evidence which he had OBJ
tanned, and tho Inter directed that n
warrant DO sworn out for Julius Jacobs,
OF the firm, on tho charge OF attempt to
commit arson, Arson being n capital
crime, tho attempt to commit it Is q
felony.
Squire D. q. Phillips issued tho war;
rant and Chief McNichol went to Mr..
Jacobs's store and arrested him. Tho
bail was fixed at $1,000, and the pris-
oner's nephew, Morris Jacobs, Of
Jacobs d lsenbcrg, went on the bond,
but only after Julius transferred to him
all his stock and other property in tho
stores. Jacobs & lsonberg already had
a Judgment for nearly $1,000 on the
stock.
Mr.. jacobs had nothing to shy when
arrested but to repeat his declaration
that he is innocent. The authorities
think the evidence isvcry against
him, however, and about score OF wit
ncsscs have been summoned to testify
Mt the preliminary hearing, which was
set for . o'clock this afternoon.
Tho authorities arc reticcnt as to
what they expect to prove. Mr.. Jacobs
has asked to have two or three wit
nessos summoned for his defense. 1t
is said that he will prove by the value
OF the stock in excess OF the insurance
that he could have had no motive to
destroy it, as it would have entailed an
irrcpurablo loss
