WILL AID CITY FIRE PROTECTION
W. HueveImann Purchases Fine Set
Of Fire Harnesses.

For many weeks past John Henle has
been diligently at work in the rear Of
his harness shop splicing and sewing
Gather and converting it in various
shapes and sizes until atlengthh his work
has been completed and finer set of fire
harnesses has never been manufactured
by human hands.
The work was done for William
Huevelmann, who has come to the
conclusion that time saved is time
earned and that the time saved in be-
ing the owner of this harness will
fully repay his cost upon the same. In
speaking of the purpose Of the harness
Mr.. Huevelmann says that it is rather
aggravating to hurriedly seek your
collars, brides and other loose parts
of a harness, when answering fire
alarm and in order to avoid this loss
of time he has had Mr.. Henle manu-.
facture this set of harnesses.
The harnesses are made of the best
leather obtainable, are supplied with
the latest snappers and automatic
catches. Open brides with snappers,
valued at one dollar apiece, to which
the round lines are attached are the
only parts of the entire harness thai
remain separate. The names and
breechings with the side straps are at.

Dispose Of Skimmine Station.

Since the L. & B. creamery has been
in operation it has maintained a
station at Brighton, but upon the
establishment of a creamery at that
place the management of the L. & B.
has decided to abandon the skimming
station and on Tuesday last sold the
material at Brighton to the Brighton
Cooperative company which is build
ing and preparing to startit creamery
as soon as possible.
The only thing that stands in the
way of the creamery starting at once
is the fact that they have not stored
ice and will have to wait until cold
weather before they can operate. The
plan now is to begin about the first
of October.

CARS CRUSH BOYS LEGS
Boys Feet Amputated and Skull
Fractured.
Robert Koch Receives Severe In
juries at Jordan.
Taken to St. Luke's Hospital at
ST. Paul Friday.

While attempting to get a baseball
from beneath a freight car on the
Minneapolis and ST. Louis railway at
Jordon, Mimi, shortly after six
O'Clock last Thursday evening, Robert
Koch: a fourteen year old boy, was
badly crushed by the unexpected NOV
ing freight. Both feet of the unfortu-
nate boy were crushed at the ankle and
a severe gush cut in his head as the
trucks of the car struck him.
Hearing his cries crowd of citizens
rushed to the scene and carried him to
the nearest doctors Office where an
Immediate operation was found neces-
sary and both feet were amputated at
the ankles. The fracture in his skull,
which seemed to cause the greatest
pain, was stitched and his increasing
weakness at the time, from the loss of
blood, prevented his removal to the
place where he had been staying.
During the evening". although he
rallied splendidly after the operation,
from the deep cut in his head the doc
tors were able to hold but slight hopes
for his ultimate recovery. The follow
ing day he was taken to ST. Luke's
Hospital at st. Paul where the best
medical attention obtainable was given
him and at the present writing it was
thought that he would recover from the
injuries sustained.
The young boy, who is we'll known
in this city, being the brother of Mrs.
Robert Scherer, with whom he had
been staying with his sisler, Elsie.
since the death of his father a number
of years past, had gone to Jordon to
visit with his brother, Henry, manager
of the A. J. Cummings commission
Office there. After having eaten his
supper he left his older brother and
went to an open place near the track
to play base ball with a few friends.
| The ball was knocked toward a
through freight, which had stopped
| for a short time, rolled beneath the
wheels and Robert crawling beneath
the car to get the ball was unconscious
of the immediate moving of the train
which caused his misfortune.
1t is a sad affair, especially SO be-
cause the young boy is without parents
and although the misfortune which be,
fell him is permanent it is hoped thai
with the use of artificial feet he may be
able to use his limbs without much
hindrance. He is rather young and the
cut in his head may sufficiently grow
| together so as to leave no i'll effects.

tached to the collars, which are sup
piled with automatic catches. The old
body bands with the buckles have been
discarded and nothing has been added
to their place. The harnesses are also
supplied with small eyelets on the
collars and on the breechings SO that
they can be used at any time for hang
ing above the large truck in the engine
house. AT present Mr.. Hueyelmann
will retain the harnesses at his home
on north Minnesota street and arrange
them above his elegant span of horses
with pulleys and drop snappers.
Mr.. Huevelmann is certainly de-
serving of some credit by the people of
this city in providing for few of the
necessities for their safety. He is an
energetic man and has gained the
reputation of one of the finest horse
owners in the state.

PUT ROOFS TO QUEER USES
Nocturnal Visitors Enter Office
Through Window.
Exit Witnessed by Astonished City
Drug Store Clerk.
Visit Appears to Have Been Made
With No Criminal Intent.

It is possible that there is an expla-
nation at hand for some of the opera
tions that have been going on in the
Stricken block and which have not
directly been charged to DR.. Koch,
but have been suggested as eminating
from him, and limited at as the work of
the young dentist.
Late Friday night, when it is sup
posed that most men should be at home
with their families, the young man who
sleeps in the drug store of w. G. Alvin,
beneath the rooms recently vacated by
DR.. Koch, heard the sound of tres
passers in the rooms over the store
and feeling that there was something
going on there that would not bear the
light of day, he FASTENED up the stairs
and demanded entrance, or at least
the names of those who were in the
room.
This was refused him and feeling
that some person had forced an en-
trance into the building he hurried to
the only other place of exit, the win
dow, and was able to see small party
of men leaving the place, through the
window anG over the roof of the Eibner
building It has not been learned that
anything is missing from the offices
there and this nocturnal visit of these
men has no explanation. Ii it was for
legitimate purpose, the query is,
why did they go in this sneaking man
ner? People with pure motives usually
gain admission through the openings
made to admit men and not through
| those places calculated to admit only
light and air.
In this case as we'll as in the case of
the other roof-walking episodes that
have taken place in that vicinity, the
police have made no arrests and there
seems to be no great disturbance
among the occupants of the block or
the officials and it is presumed that
they are acquainted with the circum-
stances.
Some nights ago some sleep-walker
or person intent on taking a stroll
over the roofs of the buildings of this
city took his midnight ramble over
the roof of the Boesch building and
escaped without detection. 1t may be
a pleasant pastime but it has its in.
| no,
amount of danger. At any rate the
roofs of buildings in this city are not
made for promenades and the dignity
Of the place should not be lowered by
subjecting them to such purposes wher
the public entrances are available tc
all, if they have reason to believe
that they will be welcome in the rooms
beneath the roofs in question.

THIRD TRIAL OPENS TOMORROW
State Will Attempt to Convict DR..
Koch Third Time.

DR.. G. r. Koch and his attorneys
will leave for the scene of the third
battle for the life of the man accused
of the murdered of DIR. L. A. Gebhardt
tomorrow and will appear at the open
ing of the court in Mankato at 9
O'Clock.
What the state has new to offer at
this trial is known to no person except
the attorneys, if there is anything.
Some new evidence tending to show
that some other person than DR.. Koch
committed the crime and connecting
some other person with the ownership
of some of the effects that were found
in the murdered mans room has been
collected by the defense.
This new evidence will not be made
public until the trial opens and the
witnesses are called. The trial prom.
ises to be as long or longer than the
last one and will be fought closely by
both sides. On the part of the state
with the feeling that the state will be
disgraced if the accused is acquitted
whether there is evidence to clear hin
or not and on the part of the defense
because an innocent man is battling
for his life.
II the statement as purported to come
from Mr.. Childs, is true it depends OF
the men who are selected to try tn
case rataer than upon the evidence
whether there is conviction or not
This seems to be the conclusion of mos
people, and it is probably right.

SCHILLER IDENTIFIES CRYPT
Indicted Into Monument With
Elaborate Ceremony.
Julius Berndt Publicly Receives
Bust OF Great Man.
Military Pomp and Martial Dignity
Accompany Ceremony.

If the spirit of Schiller could have
Cooked down on the scene that was pre-
sented at Herman's monument Thurs
day evening, his great heart would
have swelled with pride and he would
have had the occasion to have written
additional sonnets inspired by the
scene.
It appears that at the time of the
Schiller centennial celebration held in
the city sometime ago bust of the
famous man was presented to Julius
Berndt by the Turner society to be
placed in the museum that he is keep
ing up in the crypt under the monu-
ment.
Having decided to transport the
of the monument determined to have it
done with all the pomp and ceremony
BETTING circumstance of that kind.
The service of the Second Regiment
band was secured and with torches
and martial music the procession
started from Turner hall.
Within the crypt of the monument
the scene presented was so wierdly
picturesque that it was really charm
ing. Kerosene lamps that fiickered in
the scant breeze that found its way in
TO the heated room and the crowd of
men, with very few women standing
curiously about reminded one of the
tales of the wizard s den and the for
tune-telling gypsies.
Julius Berndt arose after the band
had finished the Introduction, and
made known the purpose of the event
and thanked the people who had
thought so much of him as to present
the bust of the great man for the pur-
pose to which he had intended devoting
t, and wished that they might all have
a very good time. After he had told
them something of the life of Schiller,
he closed amid the wild acclaims OF
the entire audience.
The band enlivened the scene with
another selection and then the whole
party adjourned to the balcony of the
monument, where there was an unlimited
supply of refreshments. Here there
was more or less music for sometime
and then the meeting broke up.
While the band was on the upper
part of the monument it played severa
selections of music that was borne over
the valley to the city and in the still
night air, was very beautiful.
The only mistake that the people
who had the management of the cele
bratiOn made was that there was nc
notice given of it and the few hundred
people who were present were there
more by chance than by design. A
good opportunity was missed to have
had a large crowd, some good speech
making and perhaps d dance.
AS it was those who were there en-
joyed the impromtu program and were
reluctant to leave when it was over
TWAS d splendid tribute to Mr.. Berndt
who has given so much of his time anl
money to the care of the mOnumen
and the park grounds. He deserved i
all and more, and he appeared to enjoy
the ceremonies of the evening.

Resolution Before Episcopal Body on
Insurance Case.

New York, Sept. s0.-Unexpeetedly,
10 minutes before the adjournment OF
the convention OF the New York diocese
Of the Episcopal church, resolution
was offered by the Rev. John NJ. Chew
of the Church OF the Good Shepherd
which touched upon recent insurance
revelations.
This resolution was offered FIVE min
utes after j. Pierpont Morgan left the
synod hall. 1t was not seconded and
not even considered by the convention.
Bishop Potter, who was presiding,
frowned all through the reading of the
resolution, and at the close suggested
to the Rev. DR.. Chew that he take some
paternal advice from him and not press
his resolution until after the case had
been fully tried by the authorities who
were sitting in judgment on life insu-
ance companies.
The introduction Of the resolution
caused a sensation in the synod hall
and the deputies listened in silence t.
the caustic and sarcastic arraignmeni
by Dr. Chew of business men who dab
BILE in high finance and yet are respected
by the church, although their practice;
are those of deception and infidelity.
The introduction of the resolutions
caused considerable talk afs4r the clos'
Of the convention. The clergy Of mos
Of the parishes out Of the city thought
it should have been acted upon, anC
the church placed on record in the mat
er, but the clergy Of the New Yorl
city parishes were inclined to regre
| the occurrence.

Boston, Sept go. w. Q. Robson, SUI
preme secretary Of the Royal Arcanum,
received telegram from Hamilton, Ont,
announcing that the case Of Bartram
against the supreme council had been
decided in favor OF the Royal Arcanum,
Bartram is an attorney and for him
self and others petitioned the court for
an injunction to prevent the supreme
council from putting the new rates into
effect, claiming that the change Of the
method Of assessment from assessed
ages to attained ages, and the alleged
intention to accumulate a reserve fund,
was a violation of the contract.
At the trial Of the case at London,
Ont, last week, elaborate citations were
made from decisions Of the Canadian
and English courts to show that the
supreme council was acting within its
authority, and that there had been nu-
merous presidents established for such
action. The court, after weeks con-
sideration, dismissed Bartram's petition
with costs.
