Charged With Breaking Into Rey-
nolds & Sons Store and Stealing

and Ernest Parkhurst, aged IA. to stand.
They wanted the things and on Sun
day night they got them BY a round
about route.
Finding 1t impossible to scrape of the
putty III the glass they went to the
river IN the rear of the store, broke ont
a pane Of glass and gained entrance to
the store. The remainder was easy. The
robbery was noticed the next day and
was reported to the police. Suspicion
fell on the two lads They had been
noticed poking about III the rear Of
the Main street buildings They were
watched Meanwhile the clerks ia the
store turned amateur detectives and
they saw Field looking suapieiously
where the ieyolvers and knives had
been. Several things seemed TO war
rant arrest, which was made last night
The police say that soon after being
arrested the lads confessed and told
where the stolen property could lie
found. Both Field and parkhnrst were
taken before Judge IFay last night on
the charge of grand larceny, and their

that the boys had their eyes on money

G. A. R. GLAD HAND FUND
IS PROVING POPULAR

Sentiment and personal pride in the
city, rather than the prospects Of di-
rect material benefits appear to actuate
r. encampment fund. The returns
from individuals and interest that will
in no way be materially benefited or
recompensed by the encampment have
in the greater number Of cases far ex-
ceeded those from Interests that will
reapya rich harvest during encampment
week and also during the week preced-
ing and following.
A review Of the lists in the hands Of
the finance committee shows that as
far as certain interests are concerned,
the grain men, the commission mer-
chants and the large retail merchants
have been most prompt and liberal in
their responses. AS individuals, the
professional men, lawyers, physicians
and dentists, and the city and county
employees, all of whom have no direct
benefit to expect from the encampment,
have been more prompt than others.
She hotels and restaurants, which are
in line for the greatest direct practical
benefit and will be overrun with bust
ness for two or three weeks because of
the encampment, as a rule have been
Slower in making their pledges.
The requests were sent out week
ago today and less than a third have
been heard from. The first week i
work amounts to $21,O00. It is abso
lutely essential that these replies should
be in the hands of the committee al
soon as possible. Follow requests viii
be sent out in a few days requesting &C
ton on the part Of subscribers.

GUlTAS' GOOD TIME
ENDS IN DEEP SORROW

For more than eight years Michael
Guitas has worked on his farm saving
up the dollars against a rainy day,
and never until last evening did he in
dulge in any of the gaities Of city life.
Then it was to his sorrow.
That ought to give me good
time and show me the city right said
he to his friends last evening as he
boarded passenger train north of
Brainerd and exhibited large roll of
bills. He boarded the train for Min
neapolis and was surprised to find that
his high time began Immediately.
He found himself in the midst Of u
carousing party and the two quarts of
whiskey that he had taken along to
cheer his journey lasted about min
ute. He never knew he had so many
friends until he opened that whisky,
he said, and long before he reached
Minneapolis he was laid away to sleep.
On awakening he found that large
part of his roll was gone and his cries
attracted the conductor, who began an
investigation on his own responsibility
and decided that Fred Stevens, a sol
der from Fort Smelling, was the guilty
the train early this morning, and Ste
charged with petty larceny. Guitas, far
from being sober, gave his testimony
before Judge E. F. Waite, and was COR
roborated by several of the passengers.
Guitas could not tell exactly how
much he had lost, and the case had to
be continued until he could collect his
senses. In the meantime the officers at
the fort were notified and Stevens may
be dealt with by courtmartlal. X

LAUNCH JULIUS BLOCK
BOOM FOR GOVERNOR

Z
Julius II. Block Is candidacy for gov
ernor was launched today by the ST.
Potter Tribune. The paper contains no
statement from the state treasurer him
self, but its article, covering the entire
first page of the paper, Bears every
evidence of authority. It is the first
gun in the Block campaign, which it is
promised will be lively one hereafter.
The article is headed, "Why Not
Make Julius III. Block Governor9o
Three columns are given to an account
of the man and the reasons why he
should be nominated, and two pages
following are given to favorable news
paper comments. Attention is called
to the fact that he led the state ticket
with a plurality Of lob 900, running sec
ond to Roosevelt, and it is claimed that
his nomination would unity the party.
The announcement is no surprise to
the politicians, as the Block campaign
has been quietly in progress for several
months.

FLOOR OF ARMORY
CANT BEAR WEIGHT E
SINKS LONG BEFORE SPECIFIED
LOAD rs APPLIED.
Prospect Now Is that AL Interior
Work Will Be Condemned - Mean
time the Material Men Are Suing the
Company Which Furnished Bond
for the Contractor.

Owing to the refusal Of City Build
ing Inspector James G. Houghton to &C
cept the interior concrete OF the new
armory building, it is probable that the
entire inside work put in up to date
will have to be torn out and replaced
by new. Furthermore. the outside walls
will not be accepted by Inspector
Houghton until he has had every op-
portunity to make satisfactory tests.
In December the concrete footlngs
supporting the columns Of the interior
demned by the building inspector. The
work was taken from the contractor, W.
F. Porteu of St. Paul, and turned over
to local contractor to- see If the faulty
construction Of the footings could be re-
paired. Tests made at the request Of
the national guard and the armory
board were abandoned today, as they
showed that the building would not sup
port the specified load of 500 pounds to
and 900 pounds on other parts. It is
therefore condemned again, and until
the contractors and the board can show
proof Of meeting the specifications the
work will not be accepted by the city.
The national guard is anxious to get
into the building, as the old armory has
been rented and the guard has but tenn
pOrary quarters. AS an aCLeHpI TO
remedy the original faulty work by re-
placing it with sound concrete had been
made, the board asked to be allowed
to put in partitions that some company
rooms might be fitted up for use.
When seen today, Mr.. Houghton said:
GAS the matter stands now, I shall
have to be shown that the building
will meet every specification before
will accept it for the city. We have
dug around the outer walls to inspect
the outer concrete footings supporting
them, and they seem to be good now.
In view Of the recent developments,
tho, I shall want to know exactly how
everything is before accepting it. My
notice to the board and the contractors
is sweeping and calls for absolute full
fillment Of the specifications Of the
building.' -
Previous to the time when the city
inspector made the first condemnation,
c. A.. P. Turner acted as supervising
architect and inspector for the board.
There is now a prospect that he and
members of the board may have to
stand suits brought by material men to
recover for materials furnished. Por-
ten was bonded and the material deal
ers sued the bonding company to re.
cover, but the company in it's answer,
served yesterday, sets UP that the board
and it's architect have nullifed the bond
by permitting the contractor to use in
sufficient cement. If this contention is
sustained individual actions to recover
will probably be brought against mem
beers of the board
