MaZzOschi's Death.
There is a feeIing influencing the italian
colony here that Bumfigiio Mazzoschi, the

mined TO promote an investigation through
the police.
Inspector HolIinberger win be called
upon to see that the causes leading to
Mazzoschi's sudden disa ppeara are
analyzed and reasons shown for his abrupt
departure from the city. A great many
of the Italians intimate with the youth
think he was knocked senseless, his throat
grappled with a weight strung to the
grape vine found attached TO the body,
and then dropped iu the water.
From the meager information In pos

that BumfigIio MazzoschI, the drowned
Italian youth, was the victim OF foul pla T.

and had inspected his barn frequently
until 2. o'clock, when he thought the
d9nger passed and retired.
The engines had hardly reached their
quarters from these two fires, when
they were again called out at $40 by
an alarm from 263 Sherburne avenue.
Here the barn owned by John P. Borg,
who occupies the adjoining house, was
also blazing merrily inside. The build
Ing was larger than the others and as
the flames had secured a good start,
the department was given hard fight,
but managed to save the building with
a loss of $3.50. This last effort of the
fire fiend concluded his morning work,
for no other alarms were turned In
yesterday.
II Is difficult for the authorities to
believe that the person responsible for
the fires is actuated by revenge, as his
selection OF buildings to be burned is
apparently regardless Of the owners,
as indicated by the firing of the
widows Woodshed. The theory more
generally held Is that the fires are
the work of some one with an insane
mania for destruction. Some of the
residents of the Eighth ward, however,
attribute the fires to malicious persons
returning from the numerous dances
given In the locality This view is
nduceQ by the occurrence of the fires
or early Sunday morning when several
dances are known to have broken up.
Several weeks ago saloon and a. barn
on Blair street were burned through
1ncend1ariSm. and 1t Is now thought
that the author Of the ten fires since
was engaged in q little preliminary
work to get his hand In.

Time was when the piano was new.
but now. it's covered with dust, its
action is damp, it's sounding board
cracked and it's strings are red with
rust. That's the kind OF cheap pianos
some people are selling cheap but it s
not the kind of pianos that are being
sold cheap at the Munger assignee
piano sale, 40 East Seventh street, be-
tween Cedar and Minnesota. Mr.. Mum
ger had stock Of new, high grade
pianos when his business reverse over
took him, comprising many of the
makes Of the very best and most IA
nous manufacturers in the country A
cheap piano, made cheap, is the most
expensive instrument you can buy, but
good piano at a low price Is alto
gether another matter
No piano dealer, with such e. first
class stock as Mr.. Munger carried,
would ever make q business failure,
save for outside operations. That Is
because the very character Of his stock
would bring him business. while less
fortunate dealers were starving. That
ls why | am stating a simple fact In
saying that the Northwest has never
before had such an opportunity to get
pianos Of this class, at the figures I
have made at the instance of the credi-
tors. Next week, Thursday night, will
