Mrs. Frank SilYersack Is
Charged With Trying to
Burn Property.
FIRE DISCOVERED I'm LIVERY
STABLE AND SALOON.
Woman Was Arrested Yesterday
And Is Held at County Jail
Awaiting Hearing.

Charged on two counts of com.
hitting arson, Louise Silversack,
wife of Frank Silversack, pro-
prietor of a saloon and livery
stable at the corner of Minnesota
avenue ond Fourth street, is held
at the county jail awaiting her
preliminary examination, which
was today postponed until Aug.
Is.
Fire evidently of an incendiary
origin was discovered yesterday
afternoon by Mr.. Silversack as
he was entering the stable, which
is located at the rear of the saloon.
Flames were coming from one
of the hangers of the barn and
in a few moments would un,
doubtedly have spread to all
parts of the building. Mr.. Sill
versack drew water from a pun q
located in the barn and threw it
upon the fire, succeeding in
checking the blaze. ..:......
Upon further examination of
the saloon and the barn it was
found that an attempt had been
made to fire the saloon building,
a large wad Of paper having been
lit and stuffed into a cupboard
which had been left in a room on
the second floor of the building.
This fire had been distinguished
before it was discovered, prob
ably by the closing of the cup
board door after the blaze had
started.
Mrs. Silversack was arrested
by Chief of Police Bailey yester.
day Afternoon and taken to the
county jail by Sheriff Bailey,
where she is now held. It is not
probable that bonds can be Sc.
cured.
The two charges against the
woman are arson in the first de-
gree and arson in the second de-
gree, the first for firing the saloon
and the second for firing the
stable.
The term of punishment for ar.
son in the second degree is from
seyen to thirty years in the peni.
tentiary and for arson in the
third degree one to seven years.
The hearing will take place be-
fore Judge Pendergast. The
complaints against Mrs. Silver
sack were sworn to by her hus-
band. a~.s

Took Contest From Little
Falls Yesterday Afternoon
Score 8 to z.
CROWD IN ATTENDANCE RECORD
BREAKER FOR SEASON.
Excursion From Little Falls
Gould not Be Run Because
of the Strike.

Thirteen proved an unlucky
number for the Little Falls base
ball team yesterday afternoon,
when in the thirteenth game
played during the season it lost
to Bemidji after winning IL
straight from other fast teams in
the central part of the state; The
game was witnessed by the
largest crowd that has attended
a base ball contest during the
present season, the number Of
persons present being consider.
ably over 500.
LeGore was in the box for the
locals, but when he threw the
first ball a defect in the pitchers
plate caused him to lose a portion
of skin and flesh from his foot
and this, together with a sore
arm, made pitching rather diff
cult feat for the little southpaw.
He held the Little Falls bunch
down to seven hits in five innings,
however, but was forced to give
up the pitchers position to Hazen
in the sixth. Hazen pitched ex-
cellent ball for the remainder of
the game, striking out two men
and allowing only two hits.
No scores were made in the
first inning, but in the second
Little Falls started fireworks
display by getting numerous
safe hits, and these coupled with
errors on the Bemidj side, netted
them four scores. Bemidii came
right back with four in the last
half of the third inning and each
team made two in the fourth,
making the score 6 to 6. Neither
side scored in the fifth. In the
sixth Bemidji rolled up two more
and Little Falls sent one man
across the plate. Little Falls
failed to score after the sixth,
while Bemidji made another tally
in the seventh, making the score
at the finish 9 to z.
The manager of the Little Falls
team was unable to secure the
special excursion train which it
had been intended to 1un to Be.
midi for the game on account of
the .telegrapher's strike, and
some disappointment was mani
tested that it was impossible to
bring larger crowd to see the
game.

CRAZY MAN
RUNS AMUJCK
Patient at st. Anthony's Hos
pital EscapesSand Creates
Excitement.

VILLAGE Marsh, patient at ST.
Anthony's hospital who has been
confined for some time past suf-
fering with a severe illness, Sat-
urday night made his escape
from the institution by ieaping to
the ground from a second story
window and ran to the home of
A. j. Gilman, 10th street and
Minnesota avenue, where he en-.
tered the house, and, grasping
tatiron being used by Mrs. Gil
man he lay down upon the floor
and began to strike his head.
Marsh was attired in his night
shirt and his appearance caused
Mrs. Gilman to run screaming
from the house. Her screams
attracted the attention of other
ladies living in the near proxim-
ity and together they succeeded
in rousing a number of men who
kept Marsh engaged until guards
from the hospital arrived and
took him in charge, returning
him to the hospital. Marsh was
out of his right mind for the time
being and was not responsible
for his actions. The injuries he
received as a result of striking
himself with the fatiron are not
serious.

THE SEARCHLIGHT
Turned on Women's Clubs, by Mrs
 B. v. CuShman.

It may shock and surprise the gen eral public to hear that women in the very toplsyer of Clubdom are discuss ing clothes but the secret is out Mrs. Lewis of Kansas petitioned Mrs. Sarah Platt Decker, president of the G. F. W. c. to exert the influence Of her high office in favor of plain dress at the biennial conventions of the federation. Quoth Mrs. Lewis: Tt does not seem the correct thing for women to appear upon the platform so elaborately gowned that they jar ones sense of the eternal fitness of things when they speak on a serious subject" Tn the same vein Mrs. Town send of Buffalo says: "The dress pa rade has grown more elaborate every year, and the serious minded among us have been greatly troubled by it." This lady goes so far as to discount party frocks altogether. advocates going to receptions in the plain dress appropriate for the business meetings" and declares that hope for the future of federation work lies this way.
 The federation Bulletin, noticing the discussion editorially says: 50 great is the fury of this irresistible storm of the fashions, that 1t becomes the dread and terror, yes, the absolute des- pair of numbers of our best American women. Tie well-to-do have no idea of the uncomfortable burden which they
