Six Year Old Girl is the
Victim.
Tramp Inveigles Her Into the Old
Canning Factory in North
Mankatoss

A tramp giving the name of Martin
Conner is locked up at the city hall on
a serious charge. 1t is claimed that at

year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs John
Brainard, who live at 102 Belgrade
avenue, North Mankato. Accord.
ing to the story told by the little
girl, the tramp seized hold of
her and choked her and then
pulled her into the boiler room of the
old vacant building, where he threw her
down and attempted to accomplished
his fiendish purpose AS soon as she was
able 20 get away, she ran home sobbing,
but it was some time before she could
tell her parents what had occurred.
Officer Daniels found Conner coming
across the bridge at about three o'clock
AS soon as the fellow saw the officers
uniform, he lodged behind some cars,
but the officer soon had him in custody
and intended to lock him up for beg
ging from couple of young men. Mr..
Brainard at this point came running
over the bridge and told the officer what
had happened, and Connor is now held
on the more serious charge, and will be
arraigned in North Mankato tomorrow,
The little girl positively identified
Conner as her assailant, and two boys,
aged eight and four years, who saw the
first part of the affair, also identified
him.
Conner says that he is 26 years old
and that he has brother in Pennsyl-
vania He says that he has been tramp
ing for two years He claims that he
came from Minneapolis yesterday
afternoon. He was given lodging at
the city hall last night He claims
that he was drunk and does not know
what he did, but denies the charge.

was found on Connor's clothing. Her
neck bears the marks of the choking
she received, her wrists are swollen,
and her chest is bruised. Her clothing
was also torn.

PROBABLY STOLEN.

Sheriff Gerlich and Chief Bruels
went to Vernon Center Tuesday to
look into the case of four men who
were reported to be selling knives and
razors at much less than cost price A
pearl handled knife valued at 81 % was
sold for 25 cents, and other sales made
in proportion. While the officers were
of the opinion that the articles had
been stolen somewhere, they had no
evidence and concluded not to take the
men into custody, especially as none of
them answered the description of the
men wanted at Waseca.

marks.

At shortly before o'clock Tuesday morn
ing. bus driver noticed fire in the rear
of the building occupied by John Kohl
mann's saloon, 324 South Front street, and
notified Officer Morrow, who started for
the central station to turn in a still alarm.
In the meantime, Officer Thilgen saw the
fire and turned in an alarm from box &C.
which quickly brought out the fire depart
ment. The building was an old frame one
story one, next to R. F. Jones clothing
store, and the rear of it was enveloped in
flames by the time a stream of water could
be turned on. The fire spread rapidly,
and the building was soon Quilted The
firemen prevented the flames from spread
ing, using two streams of water. By
ISLANDERS succeeded in saving part of the
stock in the saloon.
1t is not known how the fire started.
The building was owned by Mrs.
E. C. Payne, of California, and was
one of the few old landmarks that
still dishgure Front street. 1t was fire
trap, and its loss occasions no regret on
the part of the owners of adjacent build
ings.
The loss on the building is complete,
and is placed by Harry Paddock, who rep
resents Mrs. Payne, at $500. 1t had re-
Gently had new roof placed on it and re-
ceived other repairs. 1t was insured for
$500 in the Continental Fire Insurance
Co., represented by Theo. Williams.
Mr.. Kollmann places his loss on stock
and damage to furniture at $1,000. He
carried $500 insurance in the Millers and
Manufacturers Insurance Co of Mime
apolis, represented by H. F. Leonard.
Mr.. Kollmann is at loss to account for
the origin of the fire. He does not
think that it started from the gasoline
lighting plant, as when first seen it seemed
to be in another room, which contained
only some tables Everything was all
right when the saloon closed at midnight
1t is possible that a cigar stub might have
caused slow fire.
Mr.. Kollmann will start up again in the
building just north of his previous loca-
ton as soon as R. F. Jones can give pos
session.
