Watchorn, the eldest son of Thomas
Watchorn. was arrested on the specific
charge of breaking and entering the pow

for the purpose of killing off the family.
1t appears Watchorn returned from

went on big spree, He had endeavored
| to have his parents turn over their prop
erty to him, and falling in this, had de-
termined to rid himself of the family and
thus acquire the property, the Insane idea
arising from a drink -befogged brain: He
is now confined in the county jail.

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP
Extended mt Duluth to Take In West
Duluth Plants.

, DULUTH, MINI. - At the city
council meeting last night purchase of the
West Duluth Water and Light company's
plants was decided on. This has been In
negotiation for years, during which time
the price has been cut from more than
$500, 900 to S140, 900. The company has an
alleged exclusive franchise in West Du-
luth, given it before that end OF town be-
came a part Of the city, but Its most
valuable asset is a contract for hydrants
that is outrageous and will pay the pur-
chase price in five years. All sorts or
stories are told of the way in which West
Duluth, then soon to be taken into the
main municipality, was hocus pocussed
into that contract. The purchase COM
pletes the municipalization of water and
light in Duluth and will enable very
large annual saving.
The city's municipal water and light
management has been SO successful that
made Jan. /, to 81 fiat for fuel and illu-
minating gas and a reduction in water
takes place soon after. These will bring
the rates to about 6per cent of what
they were under private ownership, al
though the city spent over 81 ,000, 900 above
purchase price to get good water. The
water is now the best, the gas is good,
aged so much better and more agreeably
than under private ownership as to per-
NIT no comparison.
