THREE NARROW ESCAPES,
John Dugan Will Not Forget the
Police Court.

John Dugan, arrested by Inspectors
Courtney and Morrissey in st. Paul on
the charge of having committed several
burglaries and highway robberles, had
several narrow escapes yesterday, and
he will not soon forget his experience.
He was arraigned in the police court ON
the charge of assault and battery on one
Silver Berg, though the real charge
against him was that of being mixed up
i'll the Barney burglary. Berg failed to
appear, SO Dugan was dis .iarged. He
was arrested before he could leave the
court room, and, together with Fred
Severance, was called upon to plead to
the charge OF burgiarizing the Barney
residence.
There was not sufficient evidence,
however, against the two men, 80 the
court was obliged to discharge them
both. Once more did Dugan fall into
the hands of the court. No sooner had
he escaped from the burglary case than
he was rearrested, this time on the
charge of highway robbery. The COM
plainant was Joe Bellock. miller, who
several months ago was held up and
lOOOCO WlIiO VII way HOluts he
was stopped on the Holden street
bridge. He identified Dugan as the
man who stopped him. but he admitted
that he had seen him around the city
for some time. and the reason he had
not made the complaint before was that
he Was not certain Dugan was the man.
He only became certain yesterday
morning when he was given chance
10 hear him speak. Then he recognized
his voice. Judge Mahoney did not
think the Identification sufficient. so he
dismissed Dugan again. 1t was three
times and out

!. Southeast Minneapolis suffered from
p fire last night, and in consequences is
in the neighborhoOd of $4,000 poorer.
A few minutes before o'clock fire
broke out in the rear end of the big
manufacturing plant of r. r. & u. K.
Howell IL Co., at the corner Of Fifth
street southeast and Tnirtieth avenue.
A pile of Shayings from the engine
room became ignited in some way, and
before the fire department could reach
the spot the entire structure was aOlaze.
The building was three-stOry brick
.atfiiir. hIied to the roof with machinery
and stock. The firm does big business
in the line of manufacturing farm and
mill Implements. and necessarily the
stock is of dry and iniammable
nature. 1t was like touching match
10 key Of powder.
E The fire department responded
promptly. but too late to save the build
ing or the machinery. Tue whole affair
was one living, breathing mass of flame.
Had there been any water facilities, the
department would have been able to
show up to better advantage, but in that
section Of the city the city is almost
. without protection. When the engines
first arrived two lines were attached to
the main on Thirtieth avenue. Owing
to the smalineSs of the main and the
distance of the hydrant from the fire.
the streams were puny and unsatisfac-
tory. 1t was like pouring a pint of water
into sea of flame. An attempt was
made to couple onto the mains on Mar
shall street belonging to the St. An
th0ny Elevator company, and after two
engines bad been stuck in the mud this
was accomplished.
Only two streams were effective, how
ever, and all the department. could do
was to watch the flames eat up the in
terror of the building. The walls were
saved, but they amount practically to
nothing. They now stand alone, and
last night. when the interior was filled
with fire. the sight was a picturesque
and impressive one.
The loss will practically be total
one, the only piece of property of the
main building that was saved, aside
from the walls, being the big engine.
This. however. was badly burned and
charred. The foundry part OF the plant
was saved. The main building was
60X10O feet in size, anG cost in the neigll-
borhood of $4,000. The loss Cd stock,
according to Mr.. Howell, who made
statement to reporter for the GLOBE,
would be about $4,000: The firm car
rled only partial insurance.
The loss OF the plant comes at very
inOppOrtune time, if distinction can be
made in times when loss of this kind
can be accepted philosophically. The
company was having Its very busiest
time, as is always the case just before
harvest. Howell Il Co. have all Office at
200 Washington avenue north. They
have been doing business at the location
at Fifth and Thirtieth tor period Of
four years.

WANTED TO DIE
Patrick Boyle Loads Up on
ChlOrOfOrm.

Faerfck Boyle Loads Up On
ChlorofOrm.
P atrolman Merrick had a unique ex.
perience last evening with would-be
suicide. Yesterday morning he was
notified that a harnessmaker named
Patrick H. Boyle, in the employ of
Sawyer. whose place of business isop-
posite the Guaranty Loan, had threat
ened to commit suicide. The officer
was asked to keep a watch over the
fellow, and nab him if he saw him act
ing in manner in any way peculiar.
Merrick agreed to do so, but he advised
the mans friends to take care of him, as
he was not likely to see him very often
during the day. Shortly before o'clock
the officer was notified that Boyle was
in the rear of the Columbia bank at the
corner of Third street and Second ave
nue. south, and that he had swallowed a
lot Of chloroform. When Merrick
reached the alley, Boyle, who was still
in possession of his senses, took to his
legs and ran out of the alley at the top
of his speed.
Merrick put after him, and for the
space of ten minutes there was lively
chase. Boyle ran around about a dozen
blocks, and Merrick finally caught him
Oh Third street, between Nicollet and
First avenues. He admitted to the
officer that he had taken poison, and
that he did it because he wanted to die.
He begged to be allowed to 60. for he
could not endure the shame Of lug
locked up.
With the assistance of Patrolman
Long MerrIck took Boyle to the central
station. He sat on the bench in the
outer room for mo ment, conxersing in
manner that certainly did not indicate
that he had his stomach full of chloro-
form; then, all CT a sudden, he fell over
and became unconscious. City Pbysi.
clan Weston was called, and took the
man to the city hospital, where the
stomach pump was applied. For time
it looked as though Boyle had played
his last trick, but after time he rallied,
and late last night the officials of the
hospital stated he would recover.
Boyle is twenty three years of age,
and lives with III sister at ia Fourth
street north. For the past three weeks
he has been out Oh terrible spree, and
Sc veral days ago was laid off, his en-
ployers stating that when he decided to
remain sober he could return and go to
work. Boyle still continued to drink,
and on several occasions, yesterday
morning being one of them, threatened
to kill himself. DR.. Weston stated last
night that had he not been so full of
whisky the chances were that the
| poison would have done for him.

um OF exchange.
Representative Hit. of Illinois, who
was closely associated with Mr.. Blame.
says that the proposition of MI r ed is
Oh the lines Of MIR. Blaine's policy. The
latter was never fully spread before the
public. as 1t had scope which could be
developed only by patience and by slow
stages. and Mr.. Blaine's health during
his later days was not such as to permit
him to accomplish the ends he had in
view.
"Mr. Reed now presents the PROPOSE
ton with directness," said Mr.. Hit,
whereas MIR. Blaine proposed passive
steps which tended towards the same
general results. 1t was Mr.. Blaine's
belief that the nations of the Western
hemisphere should be reciprocally
united in their commercial dealings, In
their money, in their railroads, and in
all lines Of action which would make
them strong against the rest of the
world.
Most of the Southern republics were
ready for mutual reciprocity in money,
as they were silver using countries, but
they were not ready for discriminating
tariffs which cut them off from export
duties, which they largely depended
upon. MIR. Blaine's speeches before the
pan-American conference disclosed that
his policy embraced united action on
silver. Oh the tariff and Oh all subjects
in which Western nations had common
interest"
For several months there has been
growing sentiment among Republican
members III favor of liberal policy to-
wards silver. Among MIR. Reeds most
intimate and constant associates in the
house of late have been Representative
Newland. of Nevada, and Representa-
tive Sweet, of Idaho. who are radical
supporters of silver.
