TRIED TO HIDE.
Frank Buscheua Arrested While Under
a Straw Stack.

E. NJ. Zuel, the real estate man,
Monday secured a warrant for the ar
rest of Frank Bnschena, one of three
brothers who are farming it four miles
east of the city in Mankato township,
charging him with selling mortgaged
property. He alleges that he traded
Buschena piece of land for thresh-
ing machine which Buschena claimed
was unencumbered. This was on Jan.
2Sth, and it turned out that the Min
neapolis Threshing Machine Co. holds
d mortgage for $500 on the machine.
Chief Bowen went out to the far m
to serve the warrant, but could not
find his man, although he searched the
house twice. The officer, feeling sure
that Buschena was on the premises,
searched the barn but could not find
him. Taking pitchfork he jabbed
into pile of straw. One of the jabs
went through hat, and then
Buschena shouted from under the pile
that he would come out. The next
jab would have gone into his head.
Buschena s examination was set fol
Feb. 18th, and he put up $500 cash
bail for his appearance. He has re-
tanned Schmitt & Schmitt as his at
torneys.

They Were Forming Opinions

The club was full. Evening papers
were at premium. An atrocious
crime had been that day committed,
and every member was reading the
account of the tragedy and eagerly dis
cussing the details.
A foot had been found in the East
river, a leg in the Hudson and the
trunk of body in the park. Loud
were the expressions of horror and
disgust Suddenly a lull came over
the crowd, and two small voices were
heard above the modified din discuss
ing the law of human nature which
made people lean toward curiosity
even, in its morbid tendency. The
small voices grew louder and the argu-
ment stronger, until at last a man in
tones of disguised pity turned to the
disputants and said:
$50 you think we are filled with
morbid curiosity?"
One of the small voices replied that
it looked very much as it that was the
case.
Nothing of the kind, expostulated
the former speaker. ''You mistake
our motive. We are merely disqualify-
ing ourselves of jury duty

up to the reading clerk a huge roll
of transcribed evidence. This was
followed by an announcement that in
all fairness to the interested parties
the time consumed in reading should
not be taken from that allowed for
argument. The testimony was marked
by many humorous passages and the
clerk was often interrupted by hearty
laughter.
There was some little discussion
anent the procedure, but with the as
sistance of Chairman Dobbin and Mr.
Roberts the course prescribed by the
statutes was finally made plain. Then,
on motion of Mr. Laybourn of Duluth,
the clerk read the evidence given by
the 16 voters whose right to partici-
pate in the election had been ques-
toned on the ground of failure to
comply with the naturalization law.

their grand lodges, and a bill by
