Young Higgins May Be Lynched
When Taken East.
HE WAS CAUGHT IN MONTANA
One of Three Involved in Crime
Resembling Patterson, n. j.,
Horror.

Special to The Journal
Helena, Mont, Feb. 14.-Sheriff George
D. Schelunberg of Upton county, Ind,
presented to Governor Toole to-day the re-
QUESTION of Governor Durbin Of Indiana
for James Higgins, aged 10, indicted in
Upton county, for criminal assault. He
is under arrest in Miles City whittier he
fled from Indiana to escape arrest and
possible lynching. The crime charged
against Higgins is most heinous resem-
bling in many features that of last year
in Paterson, N. j., when three young men
drugged and ravished a girl 1t is al
legged that Higgins, Henry Gossard and
John Stroup, well-known young men of
Upton, lured Rachel White, the 17-year-
old girl of respectable parents, from her
home on January 7th, overpowering her
and, compelling her to submit to them.
The girl was reported to be dying and the
three fed from Indiana to prevent being
lynched.
Higgins is said to have been the ring
leader and to have threatened the girls
life with a pistol. He was traced to Mis-
rouri then to Iowa and few days ago
was arrested at Miles City.
Sheriff Schelunberg says there may be
some trouble when he reaches Upton
with his prisoner. The whereabouts Of
Gossard and Stroup is unknown:

MUST KEEP POSTED
Fire Department Must Be Up on
Arrangements of Buildings:
EFFORT MADE IN THAT DIRECTION
That Alone Enabled Department to
Do Prompt Work in Boston
Block Blaze.

Several fires in the downtown district
this last week have illustrated the neces-
sity of the fire departmen Keeping IL
self informed as to the internal construc-
tion and arrangement of the various large
buildings of the city and as to changes
made from time to time. In THIS con-
nection Chief Canterbury says:
1t is very necessary for us to keep up to
date in these matters, as the few moments
delay caused by unfamiliarity with surround
ings and with the arrangements OF bulldlng
may lose us the first few minutes which are
so valuable in fighting fire. Every rev
months we go through the big buildings. Inc
captains of the various engine companies are
supposed to keep themselves familiar with
all the important buildings in their district.
The fire in the Boston block Wednesday
shows the Importance of the department S
rule Realizing just what he had to deal
with the chief sent out the alarm before
he left his office. A knowledge OF the
roof construction enabled the fireman to
get at the flames within few minutes
after their arrival. AS to the bursting
of the standpipes vest and at the
Vendome fire last week the chief says:
1t is almost impossible to keep UP the in
spection of standppes. Thieves crawl up the
fire escapes and steal the brass connections.
OF course, we cannot inspect them frequently
enough to be sure that they are in working
order. When the buildings are first erected
we couple hose to the standpipes and subject
them to a pressure of 1870 pounds This is
really the only efficient test, and cannot, OF
course, be made every few weeks on the
thousands of standpipes in the city.
Mr.. Canterbury says that buildings now
being built are great Improvement on
the old style. A permit must be obtained
in the first place from, the fire committee
of the cityfcouncil before the building can
be put up at all. The inspector Of build
ings examines the plans and specifications
carefully to see that they meet the re-
quirements Of the fire ordinances, and If
there are any other needs not covered by
the law he sees that they are arranged
for g.. ."-

STOCKHOLDERS TO FIGHT
1t Is Expected to BE Tried ''DOvvn
East'-CreditOrs After Hold
ers Of Shares.

Stockholders and creditors of the old
Minnesota Thresher Manufacturing COM
pany with plants at Saltwater are pre-
pairing for a hot legal battle The court
Will be asked to levy an assessment to
pay it's debts. The stockholders will fight
this on the ground that under the Mime
sofa constitution stockholders in manu-
featuring corporations are not liable to
assessments. When the thresher COM
pany was organized by the late ex-Sena-
tor D. NJ Sabin, it's charter provided that
besides engaging in manufacturing it
could acquire the assets of the North
western Car Manufacturing company. Be
cause of this provision the creditors hope
to establish the claim that the company
was not, strictly manufacturing concern,
and that the stockholders are not entitled
to exemption. ..
The fight will probably be transferred
to New England, as So New England
banks and 800 individuals and corpora
lions hold the defCnct company's stock
The Massachusetts, Loan and Trust COM
pany is the largest creditor, with a claim
! of $1113S5. The creditors seek to collect
$500, 900 from the stockholders.
To conduct the fight the stockholders
have selected a committee composed Of
prominent New England business men.
| Some of the stockholders five years age
went into the federal court and surren-
dered their holdings in order to escape
| further liability, but it is said they are
| no better off than others.

CHANCES IN MEXICO
MI. Pennington Noted Opportunities
for American Capital There.
MExIcANs WANT 1T TO COME IN
Americans Are Already Large Mine
Operators, but Irrigation May
Encourage Investments.

u. remington, second vice president
and general manager of the 500 road, re-
turned this morning from an extensive
trip through the southwest and Mexico:
he was impressed with the prosperity OF
the southwest and the opportunities for
American capital and energy in old Mex1-
co. Mr. Pennington's party included Mrs.
Pennington and their two sons, and MI.
and Mrs. ]. D. Macmillan. Some time was
spent in the City OF Mexico. Among the
side trips taken was one to Tamplco Oh
the east coast.
Northern energy and capital is the
factor that must develop Mexico's 1ndus-
tries and give her permanent and general
prosperity said. Mr.. Pennington to- day
American capital is now successfully ae-
yeloplng Mexican mines. But the pis
field for investment and money making IN
that country is but partially cultivated:
This is probably due to the fact that
American money and brains mas mao
plenty of opportunity at home. When the
! American begins looking to other coun-
tries for investment believe that Mexico
will be the first to profit. Americans
whom I conversed with in Mexico were
well pleased with the results OF their IN
dertakings. The country has rich SOIL
but many districts need irrigation before
big development can come. In these en-
terprises American money and engineer
ing skill will find an opportunity Ihere
has been some railroad building In inc
past few years. but the increase in mile
age is comparatively small.
with the development of the domestic
trade of Mexico will come the growth ID
Importance and population of several OF
the Mexican ports. Among these Is
Tampico, which has one Of the best mar

visiting Mexico are steadily increasing II
numbers. This business furnishes 8
revenue which the Mexicans appear tt

necessary to carry on the bull lights

ment Of Old Mexico. The natives view
the exhibition from street car tops O.

Americans buy the more expensive seat

that one bull fight or the first act OF |

H. H. Wilson. of Lincoln, lawyer or

local repute, has announced his 1nten-
ton Of ntering the race. Behind MIN
are the Burlington forces and he is man
against whom the Elkhorn- Union FaclAc
faction can have no serious objections.
Governor Savage seems to have been de-
serted by his friends and left to the mercy
of his enemies! 1t was charged at the
time of the BARLEY pardon that tae
| friends of the latter had assured the gov
ernor a denomination in case the pardon
was granted Politicians believe that the
| promise was made, but the guarantee was
given by persons who could not deliver
the goods BARLEY came from Elkhorn
| territory, Holt county. Yet Elkhorn poll
ticans are working to defeat Savage, while
| at the same time they do not excoriate
| the pardon.
DOUGLAS county still remains faithful to
Savage. The attitude of the governor in
| not appointing the fire and police COM
| missioners, as he might have done, under
a technical construction of the Omaha
| charter, is given as the reason for the
| LOYALTY OF the Douglas county men.
The candidacy-of Mr.. Wilson also shows
that the Burlington men are on the alert
| to remain in power Already politicians
Of the latter faction have condemned the
BARLEY pardon. Now they are advocating
the nomination of one Of the strongest
men in the party. This they are credited
with doing in answer to the charge made
by the Union Pacific Flkhorn faction that
..the Burlington machine has kept the
big men down.
Mr. Wilson has been practicing at
torney for twenty years. He is also a
progressive man in his ideas of political
| reform. He is a graduate of the Me-
| braska university.
Hill-Harriman sympa thizers still carry
| on their political contest for the control
of the state convention, but the candidacy
| of Wilson is regarded as a shrewd Bur-

MILWAUKEE BRACES UP

Another Important Move Made in
the Fight Against Buck

Since the Minneapolis chamber of COM
merce began the fight against bucket
shops there has been a noticeable in
crease of sentiment against them every
where. In grain markets where formerly
there was more or less Indifference shown
there is now open hostility. This Is es-
pecially true of Milwaukee. Not only has
that market heretofore shown indiffer-
ence, but it has transpired recently that
no less than four bucket shops in OF
about Milwaukee have been conducted
by men who held Milwaukee chamber

spurted to the front lately as grain
market, and the directors have been Sc
anxious to help this along that they have
Winked at practices that would not be
tolerated in older and more conservative
markets. -.....
Now all this is to be stopped and the
Milwaukee men are out to raise their
exchange to the Minneapolis level.
President Washburn received advices
to-day of the latest moves of the Milwau-
kee chamber. Some time ago the Mil
waukee chamber got after the telegraph

FOLLOWED BY FIRE
The Fire Fiend Seems to Be Trail
Mrs. L. Baumbach.
SOME PECULIAR CIRCUMSTANCES
Burned Out at Home, She Engaged
Rooms at VendOme-Visited
Boston Block.

Mrs. L. Baumbach. who lived formerly
at 419 Tenth streets s, is thinking serious
ly Of writing thrilling story entitled,
"Trailed by the Fire Fiend.''
Every time she enters an Office building
now. She satisfies herself that there are
no signs of conflagratio in the base
ment before venturng into the upper sto-
ries. She has almost come to believe
that strange fatality is pursuing her,
and that a blaze is ant to break out any
time she enters a large building down
town. She has advised her friends to
take gu. extra fire Insurance and takes
extra precautions to facilitate her own
escape every night for fear that her fiery
Nemesis may steal upon her in her sleep
and cut off retreat or nope of rescue.
Three such experiences have been suffi-
ciemt to put Mrs. BaCnbach on her guard
during the last two weeks.
In The dead hours of the night during
the bitter cold weather which then pre-
vailed, herself and family were forced to
leave the burning residence at 41e Tenth
street S. fortnight ago. Firemen eX-
tinguished the fire after the contents had
been badly damaged.
Mrs. Baumbach then decided that it was
safer to board than take chances with de-
fective tlues in her own house. Last
Thursday afternoon she went to the Ho-
tel Vendome. and engaged a suite OF
rOOHS Oh an upper uoOi sue eApeCleu
to move in her belongings the following
day, and would have staid at the hotel
that night but for the sickness of the
wife Of Patrolnlan Palmer who had bought
the house on Tenth street. Mrs. Baum
bach decided to sit up for the night with
her sick friend. BY, morning the Ven
dome had been Quilted.
Just before noon yesterday Mrs. Baum
bach went into the Boston block. She
was calling On a Mr. Martin whose office
is on the fifth floor when the alarm Of fire
| rang through the building. Mrs. Baum
| bach made 10 her mnd to take no more
| chances. She took the first elevator
! down after the alarm and beat all other
startled tenants to the street in her
haste to get out of the burning building.

TWAS AKER'S BODY
Remains Found in Vendome Ruins
Identified.
HE CAME HERE FROM MONTEvIDEO
SO Far as Known Other Hotel Guests
Are All Accounted
For.

The only known victim Of the Vendome
hotel fire last Friday morning was Martin
G. Aker, Of Montevideo, Mimi. His
charred body was found beneath an i'm
mense pile OF debris in the basement late
Wednesday afternoon. This morning E. B.
Hyberg and O. Berg of Montevideo, old
friends Of the Aker family called at the
morgue and positively Identified the re-
mains.
There may have been other deaths in
the fire. Not all of the guests OF the
night have been accounted for. On the
following morning many Of them left for
other hotels or the homes Of friends in
Minneapolis and st. Paul, and the where
abouts Of all of the persons whose names
appear on the hotel register for Friday is
not known. 1t is known, however, that
none of the regular guests at the hotel
is missing. There are yet in the base
ment of one side of the hotel, where the
first and second floors fell through, great
piles of burned timbers, furniture and the
equipment of the billiard room, which
have not been disturbed. 1t will not be
known whether or not these piles hide
any bodies until they have been removed.
No arrangements have yet been made for
this work. ~
Yesterday morning the hotel manage
ment received a telegram from M. G.
Aker's relatives at Montevideo asking
what had become Of him. He had not been
seen since the fire and men were engaged
to dig in the debris. The search had not

the body was uncovered. 1t had been
badly burned. Two ugly scalp wounds

dered unconscious and that he had per-
haps been suffocated before the floors fell,

Mr.. Aker was only partially dressed, and
had probably started to make his way
out Of the building when knocked down
and suffocated. The ribs were crushed in
and one of the arms badly bruised when
he was pinned beneath the fallen timbers
Morgue Keeper Lovejoy said that the con-
