When arraigned Jones pleaded guilty
and was promptly given the sentence
mentioned, following which flashing
bauer entered a decided protest, claim
ing that the punishment was not suf-
f1ciently severe. Fashingbauer ap-
peaied to County Attorney Kane,
claiming that when Jones was first dis

he threatened to kill them IL they did
not keep quiet. Going into the hall
Fashingbauer says that ne encountered
the colored man. who pulled a re-
volver and threatened to shoot. Fash
ingbauer backed into room. jumped
out the window and called assistance.
Although the county attorney agreed
that the offense warranted a more Sc
we're sentence, he could not offer relief
after Jones had been sentenced.
The only excuse offered by Jones
was that he was drinking, contending
that whenever he takes too much he
becomes 'batty." Admitting that he
entered the house, he claimed that he
had no intention of committing a bur-
glary. He made no effort to explain
how it happened that he deliberately
cut the screen door.

a customer noticed it there few
minutes later and examined the con-
tents. He found the quicksilver and
the acids and pronounced them nitro

About a month ago Nelson was ar

i on White Bear

The Illuminated parade. including the
commandment of the improvised battle
snip Senta, the fireworks, dancing and
music furnished ample amusement for
the cottagers at White Bear lake and
the members of the yacht club last
night. Nearly the whole racing fleet of
the club. together with a number of
pleasure yachts, launches, rowboats
and floats, assembled at the clubhouse
in the early part of the evening. and
afterward, headed by Commodore ET2'
mer's flagship, lined out in parade. The
sight was one of the handsomest seen
on White Bear in many years. Each
boat carried colored lights and Chinese
lanterns. Red, green, blue and white
ire was used, giving the whole mag
nificent effect.

BOT HERED BY MONEY
Baseball Men Sit Up All Night
With Receipts

An athietic-looking young man, stag
gering under the weight Of a grip, ap-
preached the desk at the Ryan hotel
shortly after 10 o'clock last night and
asked Frank Ingalls,, the night clerk, if
he might check the grip until morning.
= Sure, Mike the clerk replied, with
the usual accompaniment of a smile.
But I'd like to put it in the vault.
the young man with the grip suggested,
while another man lowered close be-
side him with an unusually solcitous
air.
TOO late. The vault closes at 10
O'Clock and / have no means of open
ing it before the, time lock says it's
doors will swing outward said Ingalls,
The two callers exchanged looks
We'll, I'll be -, the man who had
been carrying the heavyweight satchel
tried to say, but his friend was too
quick for him and stopped him before
he had committed an offense against
the ordinances. Then the young men
had consultation.
How about the chief of policies
vault?' the smaller one suggested.
Not quite" the big fellow responded
Several bystanders cut in They be-
gan to ask questions. Then a man
who had been out to the ball game in
the afternoon had a revelation It's
Mike Kelley he declared and looking
again. he volunteered the information
that his guardian was Clarence Hug
gins, secretary of the local baseball as
ISOLATION.
Then the story came out The grip
held the days receipts of two baseball
games, or, more properly speaking, ST.
PauPs share OF the gate money. Kelley
and Higgins had completed the count
ing of the coin few minutes before
and the cashier had gone out of town
for q vacation. The club manager did
not know the combination to the safe
and there was nothing to do but find
a vault in which the money could be
put until today. So the silver and gold
was packed neatly in a brand-new
leather bound grip and Kelley, guarded
by Higgins began search for a vault
They Jared badly at the Ryan, and at
another place their luck was just as
poor.
: Lets go back to the office and sit
up with it," Higgins offered by way
of suggestion, as he fondled a vicious
looking gun.
Not with me-" the player-manager
retorted. i may sit up. but it will
be with something worth more than a
mere $1,000, such as this grip con-
tains.''
But the policeman on the beat at
Seventh and Wabasha told at o'clock
this morning that two young men were
sitting at small table inside with a
leather grip between them and all the
lights burning brightly. They had
passed bad night, he said, for at
every explosion of firecracker outsida
they We're sure that somebody was
dynamiting their stronghold.

amquite sure said CD. O'Brien,
Just before he boarded a Rock Island
train last night for st. Louis and the
national Democratic convention, that
at least tWelvesof the Minnesota dele
cation of twenty-five will be for Judge
Parker on the first ballet when the
voting begins iii the national eonven-
ton.
There seems to be a crystalliza-
ton of sentim&n among Democrats
that Judge .ParkerIa nomination will be
the best thing for the party, and that
his nomination. viii prevent the selec-
ton of some other candidate who
would be less acceptable to the great
mass of Democrats.
When ourestate conventions was held
atlDuluth it was thought that the dele
cation was about evenly divided be-
tween Hearst and anti-Hearst, and
several of the So called anti-HearSt
men were far from committed to Judge
Parker. These men have, however,
come to the natural conclusion, in view
of. developments in the party, that they
must vote for Parker if they wish to
preserve the Organization from going
to some third man who cannot begin
to get the vote in. the pivotal Eastern
states that Parker can"
; what about Bryan's attempt to or
ganize the field against Parker?" Mr..
O'Brien was casked.
Bryan's Strength the Hearst Vote
81 believe that Bryan's strength is
chiefly the. Heafst'vote in the conven-
tion," Mr.. 6'Brfen said. ''He will be
able to command but few more votes
than those Instructed for Hearst, or
friendly to his candidacy, and I think
that two ,Eor three of our Minnesota

sition means, VIII go to Judge Parker.

Mr.. O'Briens has designated Daniel

building before the department ar
rived.
James McGovern,s residence, POI.
West Sixth street, was damaged tothe
extent of $500. The fire is thought to
have been caused by children celebrat-
ing in the rear of the building. The

considerable damage to the rear rooms

called, but there was little work to be
done. A couple of windows were
broken and the fixtures of the store
more or less damaged. The loss was
