AN ALLEGED FlREBUG.
Man at New Ulm Accused Of Firing
His Own Property.


! fire at the home of William Hoehne
in the western part of New Tim, called
out the department in time to make a
startling discovery and prevent the de
struction of the house.
Going through the rooms, the chief
of the fire department found a quantity
of oil had been poured over the floor and
the bedding \ pile of rags was also
found under the bed. An investigation
resulted in the arrest of the owner. The
house has not been lived i'll for some
time and there is heavy insurance car
ried in the building and furniture.
Hoehne was living with his father, his
wife being away i'll the country. 1t Is
believed he fired the place for the value
of the insurance and Chief Herzog states
lie has enough evidence to convict him.
The fire did little damage.

HELD TO HIS CLAIM.
Now St. Peter Man Receives a Nice
Offer for His Land.

st. Peter, Oct. 80. 4 claim which he
settled on just seventeen years ago and
which he had nearly forgotten, will prob
ably bring fortune to Ole Estenson, a
laboring man of this city.
Back in 1888, while he was working
with crew of railway laborers in the
northern part of the state, Estenson Sc
cured homestead of 100 acres of what
is now considered the richest mineral
land on the Mesaba range. Utterly ig-
norant of the great value of the iron
ore within the boundaries of his claim,
he remained ON it only until he ac-
quired title and then abandoned the
property, little knowing that the un-
improved tract in the wilderness would
ever place him beyond the reach of
want.
He considered the land of so little
value that he made no pretense of keep
ing up the taxes, but this does not seem
to have materially affected hrs title, for
a few days ago he received letter from
mining concern Offering him $4,000
for his interests.

GIVES ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

Death Of Captain Dodge.
From Mondays Daily.

Speaking of an article that appeared
in The Free Press last week, giving an
account of the death of Captain Dodge
at New Ulm at the time of the Indian
outbreak, which article was taken from
a New Ulm paper, gentleman of Man
kato who was present and witnessed the
death gives somewhat different ac-
count of the occurrence, and calls the
captains act foolhardy rather than
bravery. The captain rode down the
street toward band of Indians and
courted certain death, when there was
no reason for it. The two men who ran
out and recovered his body showed more
bravery.
