II HORSES DIE In FIRE
FLAMES DESTROY OLD CAR BARN,
A RELIC OF THE HORSECAR
DAYS OF MINNEAPOLIS. ...-v

Fire nearly destroyed the old street.
car barns at Dupont avenue S and
Twenty eighth street early today, and
caused the death of seventeen horses
that were kept there.
The old barn is relic Of horsecar
days, and since it was abandoned as a
car barn it has been used for the work
teams and as storage place for repair
equipment.
The origin Of the fire is 8 mystery.
A watchman who is employed at the
barn was returning home from the cir
Gus when he noticed flames coming out
of the windows. He. turned in an alarm
but before the department. could arrive
the entire building was in flames: A
large stock of hay made the flames
spread rapidly, and it was nearly four
hours before the fire was under con-
troll.
Immediately after turning in the
alarm the Watchman gave his attention
to saving the horses, but little could be
accomplished because Of the heat. Two
OF the horses were taken out uninjured,
but the others had to be left to the
flames. All Of the horses were valuable,
and the loss on the animals alone will
amount to several thousand dollars.
Sleighs and carriages owned by Of
fcials of the street railway company
were burned, as was new "hurryup
wagon" >&j
No estimate of the loss has yet been
made by the street railway company.
The watchman was slightly scorched
about the hands. No other person was
injured. y =

PLEA IS SELF DEFENSE.
STEPHEN sHURBA BELIEVES HE
WAS JUSTIFIED IN KILLING
JOHN HARMoNACK.

Self defense will be the plea Of Ste:
phen Shurba, the youthful slayer Of
John Harmonack, when his case comes
to trial in the district court.
Shurba, in a talk with Police Super
intendent Doyle, said that as Harmon.
ack had started the quarrel in the sa-
loon at 1914 Washington avenue s,
which resulted in the murder, the mat
ter should be dropped. He does not
take his arrest seriously and thinks he
will be let off with an easy sentence or
none at, all. t@' y~t
Several such murders have occurred
in that part OF the city, and in nearly
every case: the man charged with the
killing. has been set free owing to the
difficulty in getting the friends of the
victim or murderer to testify. The
Slav people. keep their knowledge to
themselves, and as most of the men in
the saloon at the time of the murder
Were foreigners, the police expect trou'
BILE IN getting the case together.
1t is known that Harmonack attacked
Shurba first, and Shurba says that, be,
ing intoxicated, he had no control over
himself when he was annoyed. He has
not retained an attorney, but he is de
termined to fight the case, and several
OF the eyewitnesses to tae murder are
known to be his friends. .: -, !. ...">
