Mankato, Mimi, May Ill never
identified the handkerchief never
did," 4
With face pale and lips nervOusly
quivering, but firmly and unhesitat
ingly, Miss Ida Koch, sister of Dr.
George R. Koch, yesterday afternoon
denied the story that she had told
Chief Klause the handkerchief found
near the body of the murdered man
was her brothers.
The young woman was called to the
witness stand to testify regarding the
alibi the defense is endeavoring to es-
tablish She told of her presence in
the sitting room of the Koch home
when her brother George arrived
there on the night of the murder, and
said there was nothing unusual in her
brothers appearance.
E. G. Koch, father of the accused
man, also testified, and both he and
the daughter went into a detailed re-
cital of DR.. Kcch's Homecoming the
night of the murder. The testimony
of both these witnesses corresponds
regarding the allbl statement.
According to the father and sister,
DR.. Koch arrived home at 9:45 o'clock
on the night of the murder, according
to the clock in the home, which later
was discovered to have been seven
minutes fast, so that it was twenty.
two minutes to 10 when the dentist
entered the sitting room door.
William Koch, the brother of, the
defendant, will be placed on the
stand when court opens this morning
and then DR.. Koch himself will testi
fly. 1t now seems probable that the
defense will have given all it's evi
dence tonight. The case will then
go to the jury day or two later.
Several handwriting experts yester
day testified that in their opinion the
word sample" On the poison package
was not written by DR.. Koch.

Following the storm came a lull.
Soon cries of the injured and fright
ened people could be heard on every
hand Men with lanterns as quickly
rescue in the darkness.
Daylight found the entire popula.
ton in a state Of panic. Business
WIGS entirely suspended.
At 8 o'clock physicians and sur
geons began arriving from surround
ing towns. In the meantime dozens
of willing hands set to work to clear

DEPARTMENT. STORES AND Ex-
PRESS COMPANIES ALMOST
ON NORMAL BASIS.
MANY CLASHES in STREET
STRIKERS ATTEMPT TO BLOCK
PASSAGE OF EMPLOYERS
.s WAGONS.

Chicago, May II. The large de.
partment stores and the express COM
panies yesterday resumed business
on almost ,rmal basis. They sent
their wagons into the extreme parts
of the city, insome instances without
police protection, and transacted
their business without interruption or
trouble of serious character
Sixteen hundred teams were at
work yesterday and the number will
be increased to-day. Notwithstanding
this apparent gain in traffic there are
strong indications that tie strike will
spread withia the next few days not
only among the transfers, but will
involve other unions as well. The
drivers of the Weing leaning COM
pany, a large concern, chiefly engaged
in delivering flour, went out yesterday
when one of their number was dis
charged for refusing to deliver flour
to boycotted house. In some quar-
tiers it was feared that the strike of
the Weing company's drivers would
Produce Shortage
in the supply of flour, bu. the officers
of the company say they have a sup
ply sufficient to last the city for a
week, and that at the expiration of
that time they will be able to make
deliveries as before.
For some time yesterday afternoon
it was reported that a strike of team
sters employed by the Crane company
was imminent This concern is an
immense manufacturer Of elevators
and plumbing supplies, and it's shut
down would be a serious detriment to
many building operations now in
progress. The threat to strike was
caused by the discharge of two team
| sters who refused to make deliveries
sanctioned the strike, but it did not
| occur as expected An adjustment
was reached but the statements OF the
| Crane company and of the labor lead
ers differ as to it's character. 1t is
| stated by the labor men that the two
drivers were reinstated. This is de-
| MED by the Crane company.
| Numerous Clashes.
| There were numerous clashes In
the street yesterday DeIWeeH lAS pO-
lice and union teamsters who attempt
| ed to block the passage of the wagons
Of the Employers Teaming company.
There were also number of attacks
| made on non-union men by wOrkmen
in buildings, who pelted them with all
sorts Of missiles from a safe distance.
These fights were all in the character
of rear guard attacks and bore no re-
semblance to the open violence COM
mitted during last week. The most
serious fight of the day was at Lake
and Clark streets, where teamsters
| formed a blockade and brought about
| a congestion Of traffic and series OF
| fights that blocked the streets in that
| section of the city for the greater
| part of an hour. Nobody was serious
| ly hurt. Numerous arrests were
| made.
The taking of evidence relative to
the granting of the injunctions issued
temporarily by the United States cir
cult court in favor of the Employers
association and the seven express
companies commenced yesterday be-
fore Master in Chancery Sherman.

BACKS UP THE EMPLOYERS
ILLINOIS MANUFACTURER VOTE
TO UPHOLD employers IN
THEIR FIGHT.

Chicago, May IA. - Three severe
blows were delivered to the case of
the striking teamsters last nie;s-, and
as a result the governing body of the
organization, the transfers joint
council, will tonight meet to decide
whether or not the strike shall be
called off. The decision to call this
meeting of the council followed two
hours session between the officials OF
the Transfers union and the team
owners association. The members of
the latter body have all through the
present strike been favorable to the
teamsters rather than to the employ
ers association. Last hight, however,
the team owners bluntly informed the
teamsters that their cause was lost
and that the best thing that they
could do was to
Call Off the Strike,
and do it at once Tie teamsters de-
INJURED, but the team owners, who
have been their chief reliance since
the commencement of the fight, were
.obdurate, and the meeting Of the
council was set for tonight.
The second blow also came from the
team owners association when the
resignation of ,Toiln f. Driscoll, it's
secretary. was tenoered an daccepted.
Secretary Driscoll has been an officer
of the team owners association since
it's inception several years ago, and
during the present strike has been a
potent factor on the side of the team
sters. There was much dissatisfac-
ton among members Of the assOcia-
ton with certain actions of Secretary
Driscoll in connection with the strike.
The exact nature of the difficulty that
led to his resignation is not known.
The third blow was administered at
the meeting of the Illinois Manufac-
turers' association, which is made up
of business men from all parts of the
state. At =
Secret Meeting
held last night at the Auditorium no
tel the members of the association
unanimously decided that they would
uphold the cause of the employers as
ISOLATION, which has been conducting
the fight against the striking team
5sters, and that they would do all in
their power to make the employers
association a permanent institution
The proceedings at the meeting were
conducted with all possible secree
even the walters being excluded from
the room, for fear they might divulgf
what transpired. Speeches were made
by several members of the associa
ton, pointing out that it was the duty
of the association to stand by the EN-
ployers' association, and when the
final vote was taken not dissenting
voice was raised.

ING m BEAVER CREEK

While fishing in Upper Beaver
creek Wednesday morning Of last week
Paul Hight, son Of W. p Hight, 4
pioneer ranchman OF the northeastern
part Of the county fell into the water
and was drowned. The body was re-
covered by some companions short
time after the accident and was carried
over the mountains for distance of .
couple OF miles where 1t wss placed in
wagon and taken to his home some
five miles from where the drowning
occurred. There were two contusions
on his forehead when taken from the
water from which it is inferred that
he struck rock in falling and lost
consciousness and that his death was
indirectly due to that cause. The re-
mains were brought to this city and the
funeral service held 1t Wilson's under
taking rooms at 1920 Friday morning
urdef the direction Of Rev. Henderson
Of the Cumberland Presbyterian

ly have owned burial lot since 1881.
The obsequies were largely attended
by the friends and neighbors Of the de-
ceased, forty or fifty of them driving
down from Upper Beaver for that pur-
pose.
The unfortunate young man was
about twenty years of age and gas
highly esteemed by all who knew him.
