Midnight rlarauders.
The John Koch Residence Burglarized Monday
Night.

Burglars effected an entrance to John
Koch's residence on Minnesota street
and 9Th street N. by prying open WIN
dow, and ransacked the whole house.
Mr.. and Mrs. Koch departed for Can
by Monday afternoon, where they are
now visiting, and as their residence was
burglariZed the same evening it is to be
presumed that parties we'll acquai nted
with the premises and the family are
connected with the job. The marauders
turned everything upside down, opened
every drawer and receptacle IN search
for money or valuables, but IN absence
of MIR. Koch it is impossible to state
with what result. The burglary was not
detected until yesterday evening, when
the city marshal and his assistants hast
ened 10 the scene. Some prowlers have
been seen around the place lately and
the marshal expects to apprehend the
guilty parties very soon. He does not
believe that tramps are connected with
the case.

Nations Birthday
Celebrated In this Locality In the Usual Tanner.

An ideal summer day favored the ex
| ercises and the observance of the Ma.
tion's birthday, the glorious Fourth
Extensive preparations had been made
by some parties, but an official celebra.
tion did not take Llace.
The little and the big boy, and the
girls too, began the observance some few
days ahead of time by consuming vast
| amount of fire crackers and other pyro-
technics, aud renewed and greatly sue
cessful effort in this direction was made
on the Fourth. The booming of cannon,
large and small, the exploding of giant
lire crackers, the report of toy pistols
etc. could he heard everywhere and 1t is
somewhat surprising that no casualties,
not even an innocent runaway had to be
reported.
In lieu of an official celebration a pa
rade was arranged by some societies.
The parade started from the Indian mon
ument and moved down lst South street
to Minnesota and along Minaes street,
Broadway and State street to Catholic
park, where short addresses were deiiv-
cred by various speaker. And. Amann

st. Joseph's Verein and the Catholic
school children. The fire department
broke ranks at State and 2nd streets n,
returning to headquarters as M ir service
might have to be called into puisitlop
at any moment.
At Catholic park and at Turner Hall
the day was celebrated in the usual man
ner all those present enjoying themselves
hugely. Social hops were lndulged in
at Turner Hall, Union Hall and at
Schmuckel's Tivoli in the evening and
taking everything pertaining to the
Fourth in consideration the song was
verified: 1t was a hot time in the ole
town.

Stockyards Ab1aze.
The Origin of the Fire Unknown, Incendiarism
not Excluded.

Shortly before midnight of last Mon
day the alarm was sounded from box II
and the department responded promptly
as usual. From causes unknown, the
structurse, known as the stockyards of the
G. & N. W. road, caught fire at their ex-
treme western limit and the first three
stalls were entirely consumed. A box car
standing on the track was scorched but
by the efforts OF the department a spread
ing of the flames was averted. A lot of
porcuplnes pepned up in the eastern part
of the yards were taken out safely and
the entire loss will not exceed $500.
AS stated a short time ago, complaints
were made about the til.hy condition of
the stockyards, against the unbearable
stencil arising from that structure and the
owners were notified to discontinue the
nuisance. DR.. Bracken of the state board
of health, and the local health board con-
cluded that sanitary measures might be
taken, such as drainage and sewerage,
the yards to be kept clean by a special
employe. The citizens and property own
ers of that nelshborhood are strenuously
objecting to the maintenance of the nui-
sance, for such the stockyards are termed,
and it is most likely an injunction will
be taken out to prevent the reconstruc-
| tion of the yards. - ~
While some people believe that fire
crackers caused the fire, others are at
tributing it to incendiarism.

Informed members of the city council as
to the carrying out of sanitary measures,

board of health failed to abolish the
nuisance.
DR.. Bracken explained slaughtering of
cattle inside the city limits to be against
the law and this is we'll known to the city
council. The matter was frequently dis.
cussed in the meetings., the board OF
health taking part in the deliberations,
but so far nothing has been done. The
