GlESEKE'S BARN.
The Fire Department Called Out
Saturday.

The fire department was called out
at 1920 Saturday oy an alarm sent
in from box 10. An clubhouse at the
rear of Henry Gieseke's lot on North
Broad street was on fire, and the barn
adjoining caught fire. The lawn
hose was used, and the fire was under
control when the department arrived.
A stream of water was turned on, and
a section of hose burst. The
fire was soon completely extin-
guished, and the loss will be slight.
1t is thought that boys set the
building afre accidentally, and Mr..
Gieseke wanted Officer Schiman to ar
rest a boy whom he claimed would be
likely to do such thing.
The building is one of whole nest
of outhouses, and had there been a
strong south wind the fire would have
had plenty of material to feed upon.

BICYCLE STOLEN.
Taken From Geo. M. Palmer:
Porch Friday Night.

Some bold thief stole a bicycle
from the porch of Geo. M. Palmer's
residence Friday night. Mr.. Davis, of
Minneapolis, who is taking Mr.. Cot
tons place at the Mankato Savings
bank during the latter's absence, went
to ST. Peter yesterday afternoon and
returned at ten O'Clock Friday night,
and left his wheel on the porch as is
customary. Saturday morning it was
missing.
The wheel was Stearns, model A,
1895 pattern, and worth 800. 1t is
insured against theft in the bicycle
protective company, so that Mr..
Davis will not be the loser, while it
is almost sure to be recovered in
time, and the thief given hot chase.
1t is some time since a bicycle has
been stolen in Mankato.
