DECIDE TO BUILD
Teamsters Will Put Up An Ice
House.
The Necessary Money in Sight-Board
of Managers Appointed-Ice
Dealers Not Afraid.

The teamsters and other union men
of the city held largely attended
meeting Tuesday night and decided
definitely to build an ice house and
deal in ice.
One of the committees reported that
$500 to $500 would be required to put
up a suitable building, and another
committee reported that the money
could be raised. 1t is expected that
$500 to 5000 will be needed in all. to
secure the ground, erect the building
and pay the teamsters for hauling ice.
A board of several directors was
appointed to have charge of the enter
prise, bat who the members of this
board are the officers do not care to
make public. This board will ap-
point a manager, secure location
and do all other work necessary. Work
will be commenced at once, as it is
nearly time when ice is usually put
up.
The carpenters and painters will do
nate their services.
Ice dealers say that the teamsters
can put up only small portion of the
ice used in the city, in building of
the size proposed. They do not express
any fears about their own trade.

DWELLING BURNED.
A Disastrous Fire on Jackson
Street tuesday Night.
Mrs. Elizabeth Anderson, Aroused BY
the Burning Of Her Home,
Loses Everything.

The residence on Jackson street,
near Fifth, owned by D. l.. Rose and
occupied by Mrs. Elizabeth Anderson.
was practically destroyed by fire Tues
day night Mrs. Anderson has been.rent-
ing rooms, and the fire was discovered
at II 80 O'Clock in the lower northwest
room, which was rented, but the
occupants of which were away at the
time. The fire then had such Roadway
that it rapidly spread over the house,
working it's way in the partitions and
under the roof.
An alarm was turned in, and the
fire department responded promptly
and worked until 2 a. N. before the
fire was completely extinguished.
The flames were bursting from the
windows when the fremen reached
the spot, and it was necessary to turn
on two streams of water. The house
was completely Quilted by the flames
and drenched with water.

Rose repaired it last summer at con-
siderable expense. 1t was story and
a half building, and was insured for
81, 600, which will hardly cover the
loss.
Mrs. Anderson had occupied the
house for four months. Much of her
furniture was new. Her entire house
hold goods were destroyed, as the fire
had too much Roadway to save any
thing She and her son were in the
house alone at the time, and it was
several minutes before an alarm could
be turned in. Her goods were insured
for $500 in Col. Mead's agency, but
her loss is somewhat heavier. Several
trunks belonging to the dodgers were
saved, but some of their goods were
lost.
Just how the fire started will proba-
bly, never be known, bat there was
stove in the room and Ut may have
started from Goals falling out or hot
stovepipe.

She was dead before the doctors had
done more than satisfy themselves
that she had take carbolic acid.
In the purlieus of lower Seventh
street the woman had been known for
two years as Blanche Williams. It is
said that her real name was Agnes
Carroll and that she came from Man
kato two years ago.
She was handsome and popular in
certain circles. Some months ago she
had some trouble-there was man
mixed with it. Then she took to
drink, as was remembered by the peo-
pie in the Rialto block, where she
lived until five weeks ago. She disap-
peared quite suddenly and bad not
been seen. about, her usual haunts until
a week since. She was still drinking.
Last night she was homeless and
shelterless, but when she walked into
Seventh street drug store and asked
for 10 cents worth of carbolic acid
she had sufficient command of herself
to attract no attention.
She was not remarked while walk
ing to the spot she picked out to die
in. 1t was s 80 when she drank the
acid, and few minutes later when
she was discovered.
The police have story about pre-
vious attempt at suicide in which a
man figured, but they do not remem-
Der distinctly. The woman was about
twenty-five years of age, fair and still
well-looking.
An attempt was made Wednes
day to communicate with her people at
Mankato if they could be found.
Up to noon the police of Man
kato had received no information re-
lating to the woman. 1t is not known
who the woman's parents are.
1t is suspected that the Miss Carroll
referred to was formerly employed in
local hotel, and she always bore an
excellent reputation while here.

Is. of course, is not exactly known,
