MINNESOTA FRIDAY, MARCH
UPPER BOUND OVER.
Saws He Stole to Prevent His Family
From Starving.

From Starving.
From Mondays Daily.
Ben Upper of Madison Lake was ar
rested Saturday afternoon by Sheriff
Williams on the charge of grand larceny
in the second degree. Julius Reinsburg
is the complaining witness, and alleges
that Upper on March 9th stole two
fox hides worth 81, three coon hides
worth So, and eighty three rat hides
worth 50. These were taken from Mr..
Reinsburg's fur and hide storage house
at Madison Lake, he being engaged in
buying hides.
Upper admits that he stole the
skins and saws that he sold them in this
city for $l490. He states that he has
been unable to get work of any KIND
and was forced to steal to support his
family of a wife and six children. He
states that he has not at any time ap-
piled to the county for aid, but has
been doing trapping, and now has TWEEN
ty-two rat hides worth ten cents each.
He saws that he used the proceeds of
the stolen hides to buy things needed
by his family.
When arraigned before Judge Plymat
this morning, Upper said that ne was
guilty, but that he was driven to it an
account of his family. as he couldn't get
work. He would throw himself upon the
mercy of the court, to be dealt with ac-
cording to law.
The court remarked that theft could
not be excused on the ground of hunger,
for in this country people are not al
lowed to starve. If his neignbors had
known that they were in want the
family would have been supplied the
same as they were when Upper was
sent to jail recently for illegal fishing.
Upper, in reply to questions, said
that he had some rat hides that he had
intended to sell to Mr.. Reinsburg to-

mad come from Wisconsin two years
ago next August, and was mason by
trade
The court said that Upper should
have realized, after his recent expert
ence, that he could not gain by violat-
ing the law. This court had no juris-
diction He then bound Upper over to
the grand jury and placed his bail at
$500. Upper was committed to jail.
While Upper claims to be so poor
that he was obliged to steal to keep
his family from starving, it is said that
last Christmas ne presented his wife
with fine set of furs. worth perhaps
S25, and silk dress. 1T is also said
that he has $40 hammerless shot gun,
rifle, etc.

Lawrence H. Johnson, of Hennepin.
and wellknown in Mankato, shook his
fist dangerously near w. b. Anderson's
nose during an alteration that occur
red in the house chamber when the

She Attempted to Shut Off Her
Wind in Jail Cell.
Was Locked Up Because of
Her Intoxicati0n.
Would Have Used a Hat Pin,
But for Police.

From Mondays Daily.
Officers Vogel and Bienapf last Sat-
urday night arrested a young woman
by the name of Bessie Ross, who was
in state of intoxication and was
creating quite a disturbance in dwell
ing block on South Front street. The
girl was taken to the police station and
lodged in a cell. The next morning she
was served with breakfast, and hid
ner breakfast knife in her stocking,
but it was discovered and taken from
her. About eight o'clock, while Officer
Robb was in the front office, he heard
low gurgling sound, and slight kick
ing noise. He ran back to the cell
and saw the girl lying unconscious and
black in the face. About her neck were
frightened two knotted handkerchiefs.
The ends she grasped in her hands,
when still held on and pulled, though
sense had fed. The officer tore off the
handkerchiefs, cut loose the neck band,
and by pounding on the back, restored
the respiration. He then took away all
the handkerchiefs the girl had. After
the latter became conscious, she seized
her hat pin, and would probably nave
stabbed herself with the same, but the
officer took it away. He also took her
belt as she seemed disposed to use
that as she had used the handkerchiefs.
Later on in the morning the girl beg
for one of the handkerchiefs and it was
given ner. Chief Donahue was in the
front Office, when he heard the same
sort of noises as had attracted the at
tention of Officer Robb. He went back
to the cell to investigate and found the
girl again choking herself with the
one handkerchief that the officers had
restored to her. Once more the girl
was rescued from self destruction.
She had spent a term of three years
in the reformatory at Red Wing for in
corrigibility, but her reformation seems
to have been hardly success.
Last evening Miss Ross ripped off the
cord from the bottom of ner skirt and
again attempted to strangle herself. The
police took it away from her and she
did not again attempt anything of the
kind.
The young woman was arraigned be-
fore Judge Plymat this forenoon on the
charge of drunkenness, but entered q
plea of not guilty. The trial was set
for three o'clock this afternoon.
When asked whether she hadattempt-
ed suicide, the woman denied that she
had, but refused to say anything about
why she had placed the articles about
her neck
Miss Ross attempted twice this fore
noon to take her life, according to the
police. Once she tried to strangle her.
self by tying her handkerchief tightly
around her neck and pulling the ends,
and the other time she stuffed it down
her throat and tried to choke herself
in that manner.
The woman lives with her uncle on
South Front street.
The defendant had her trial this af-
ternoon, was found guilty, and was SEN
fenced to serve twenty days in the
county Jail.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Chief Two Feathers and John j.
Rooney of Chicago, the giant wrestler,
have been matched for a finish bout in
Mankato the latter part of the month.

eral alarm was sent in, bringing to the
scene all of the volunteer fremen in the
city.
BY the time the central station fire.

was powerless to save the building or
any part of its contents, and the prin-
cipal efforts were turned toward pre-
venting its spread by combining the
flames as much as possible and wetting
down the adjacent buildings when neces-
sary. All of the streams available were
turned on, and tons of water thrown
into the raging furnace of flame, but it
seemed to evaporate before it fell upon
the fire.
Flames Move Like the Wind.
The flames continued to spread with
wonderful rapidity, and soon they burst
from the roof and from the second
story windows, and the powerful up
ward current of air tore off pieces of
the tin roof and cornice and hurled
them down to street below. The heat
on the street became so great that the
firemen were driven back from the front
and sides of the building. They di-
rected powerful efforts and successful
ones to preventing the fire from eX-
tending to the Ray building just to the
south of the Glass Block. 1t seemed at
one time as though that and perhaps
other buildings further south were
doomed, but the thick fire wall and the
efforts of the fremen won the day.
The acme of heat and danger was
reached just before the second story
of the Glass Block fell in. At that time
awnings and wood work on several
buildings near by were ON fire, and the
telegraph poles were blazing. 1t look
ed as though the Messer block across
Front street and the Irving building
across Jackson street were doomed
Both were blazing and smoking. For
tunately there was no wind and the
suction threw the gigantic flames
straight upwards. There were few
sparks, and they were quickly extin-
guished when they fell upon the wet
snow that was then beginning to fall
fast. Plate glass windows were crack
ing and swapping for a block, and ev-
cry few minutes portions would break
off and rattle down onto the street.
Heat Drives Crowd Back
A vast crowd had Assem- bled, and the
entire police force was requested to
keep it back so as not to interfere with
the work of the fremen. A portion of
the street was roped off. The heat was
more efficacious than policemen or
ropes in driving the assemblage back. 1t
was necessary to constantly remind the
crowd not to get near the plate glass
windows for fear of getting cut by
falling pieces. In the midst of the ex-
citement one individual who failed to
appreciate the fitness of things mount
ed the American express office build
ing and narranged the crowd on local
politics in favor of the present admins
tration. This was the only amusing in
cident of an otherwise grim and sad
dening occasion.
While the fire was at its height, sew
