s1.LD CHARGE AGAINsT A Lu,anDn
COMPANY EMPLOYR.


Mime apolis, Oct. IA payer was
filed In the district court to-day which
contains a rather startling statement
It is nothing more or less than that
the fire which proved 70 disastrous in
Northern Minnesota and Wisconsin,
Sept. !, including tho destruction Of
Hinckley, was set BY an employe OF
the firm Of Laird & Boyle, who owned
a saw mill at Mission Greek.
The paper Is al answer In q suit
brought BY the person mentioned
against Wisdom b Cannon, who also
own . mill at Pine City, and with
whom there were negotiations pending
for an exchange Of properties, the de.
PENDANTS to put In note for 1880
and make some other concessions. The
answer alleges that the negotiations
were not completed ut the time Of the
fire which destroyed the plaintiff's
mill, but says that IL the court should
find that they We're completed, then
the plaintiffs ought not to recover the
amount sued for, since tile mill was
burned Sept. /, 1894, by a fire (which
was set and kindled by the plaintiffs,
their servants and employees. that II
occurred wholly and solely by reason
OF the carelessness and negligence OF
the plaintiffs and their employees, and
that the fire 80 set and kindled was
the same fire which thereafter and on
the same day destroyed the village of
Hinckley and large amount of tim.
ber, as the defendant verify believes -
The charge that is made in this
answer is substalltiated by witness
to whom one OF the plaintiffs Is said
to have remarked that one Of their
men had set fire to some stumpage
that morning, and that he didn't know
what the id fool meant, for the
wind was very strong that day, and
he would burn them all up. 1t is said
that all of these facts will come out
on the trial of the case, and that there
is no doubt as to the veracity Of the
witness.
So far as Is indicated In the paper,
there is no charge that the fire was
wil:fuily or mallciously set, but thlt I
was simply the result of a poor piece
of judgment on the part of the Laird
& Boyle employe, who, regardless Of
the fact that 1t was very windy day
and that the country was as dry as
tinder, proceeded to set the fire to
clear out few stumps.
The answer in which the above
charges are made was filed by Fullel
& Taylor.
