Shortly before z O'Clock Tuesday
evening fire broke out in the roof of
the Tobey building on the east side of
Main street, part of which is occupied
by the Sauk Centre Cold Storage
Company and part by the owner as a
feed store. The fire department was
depleted, large number being at st.
Cloud, but the remaining fifteen did
valiant duty and the flames were soon
subdued. The roof was badly
damaged, as were the ceilings. A
large number of butter tub covers in
the second story were water soaked.
MIR. Tobey says it will take $500 to put
the building in as good shape as it
was before the fire. His loss is
covered by insurance. The Cold
Storage Company sustained but little
loss.

Spanish historical society. to which the
matter had been formally submitted by
the Madrid government, brought in
report adverse to the genuineness or
the Dominican discovery, sustained by
no new documents from the Seville,
Madrid or Havana archives. nor by any
further investigation at Santo Do
mingo.
This premature controversy, which,
strange to say has never become pub
lie in the United States, tended to pre-
vent the sending of commission OF
competent and impartial antiquaries to
examine the vaults, inscriptions and
other documents in evidence. In the
premises. foreign savants were natur-
ally reluctant to appear in a matter in
volving both Spanish and Dominican
national pride, as well as the personal
probity of a papal delegate. Hence no
careful examination has ever hitherto
been made except by Dominicans, and
even their statements have never been
verified by impartial investigation or
placed before the antiquarian world.
On the other hand. the passing con-
troversy inspired a general collation.
and careful analysis of all documents
and historical references bearing on the
question. Henry Harris, the eminent
authority on Columbus. reviewed and
anaiyzed the principal documentary
proofs and pronounced against the
identity of the remains taken to
Havana with those of Columbus. He
reserved his opinion as to the authen-
ITCHY of the Dominican remains until
further evidence might be forthcoming.
Two learned societies of neutral ma
tions have ventured to express definite
opinions-the New Jersey historical So
ciety and the Ligurian society Of Ge-
noa. Both pronounced in favor of the
genuineness of the Dominican remains
after a conscientious examination OF
the evidence obtainabIe by them. Their
verdict might have been more valuable

Only with great difficulty did Diego
finally succeed in regaining the gov
ernorship of the island to which he
returned in 1920 to find Santo Do

Christopher Columbus as his favorite
spot on the island, was still an isolated
agricultural village, which made it un-
desirable to obey the paternal man

Dying, Diego left as his heir Luis and
another son, named Christopher, whose
respective claims and prospects were
energetically shepherded by the widow.
Her energy only secured empty prom

Domingo, assisted in his quality as ad-
miral at an important meeting of the
government board, despite which the
records do not say he presided. The

In fact, none OF the writers who deny
or doubt the authenticity of the recent
discovery ever examined the box or its
contents. Obviously, therefore, it were
a matter of paramount interest and i'm
portance. now that the controversy has
been forgotten and before all the eye
witnesses are dead for some learned
society to send to Santo Domingo one
or more experts in archaeology and cal
ligraphy to ponder the evidence. In the
meantime ! have made my own carefui
Investigation and have reached my own
perfectly impartial conclusion.
Suppose, in welding together the sue
cessive links in a chain of evidence, we
review the case from the beginning.
Seven years following the advent of
Columbus in this hemisphere the rights
and privileges promised him before he
embarked on his first voyage were
suspended. subsequently, though per-
mitted to use the empty titles OF "Ad-
miral' and "viceroy of the Indies" he
was forbidden to exercise his functions
as such or to collect his percentage of
the revenues, or even to visit Santo Do
mingo, where he had labored so long
and successfully to establish a flourish
ing colony. Diego, his heir, continued
to petition the Spanish crown, but the
most he could obtain, even assisted by
the highly connected woman whom ne
married in 1908. was permission to
prosecute the percentage claim in court
and meantime to govern Santo Domin-
go as an admiral.
When the Crisis Came
During the following year, by his
request, the remains OF his father were
removed from the obscure monastery
near vaIladolid, where t..ey had been
for three years, to the Carthusian mo-
mastery of the grottos, situated near
Seville. This erected successfully.
Diego and his wife. Dona Maria; de To-
ledo, niece OF the duke of Alya, en-
barked for the new world accompanied
by Bartholomew Columbus and a young
half brother, Fernando. The latter re-
turned to Spain very shortly and was
buried in Seville so years later. Diego,

Santo Domingo, then nearing compile

terment of the Colons, the building it
self a ready made memorial to their
honor.
Where the Ashes Rest
Consequently. in 1851, royal cedula
was issued granting Luis the chancel
or presbytery OF the cathedral. as a
burial place for his iliustrious grand
sire, for himself, his parents and his
descendants. To Don Luis was further
accorded the privilege of erecting tab

his manner of life and death more viii
be told presently. Several months were
spent in further excavations without
any new developments until one day
Mgr. Cocchia reached a second vault.
This was or the left side OF the pres
wall, as was the case with the first
vault discovered at that time This
second receptacle, however, was empty,
and, as it developed, was the vault
which had been opened and vacated in
1895.
A few days later the persistent ex
cavators were rewarded by striking in

which was plainly seen leaden box. SO
securely was the vault constructed and
so firmly were the stones and bricks
imbedded around the mysterious box
that fortnight passed before the ex-
plorers unearthed the box itself, the
receptacle which contained, as far as
my own conclusions go. the real and
only mortal remains of the first ad
mirsl.
The Fraud Charges
Reports of the circumstances sur
discovery of the box as described, to-
gether with the inscriptions and rev.
cred contents, were scrutinized with
jealous eyes in Havana and Madrid. In
fact. the Cuban and Porto Rican press
did not delay making direct charges
of fraud-charges which soon echoed
over the world. 1t was alleged that the
story was ridiculous on its face; that
the persons interested did not agree
upon the reasons why the excavations
had been made; that they had a pur-
pose in committing and an opportunity
to commit a Justification, and that
manifestly the Dominican priests had
manufactured the box, filled it with
bones, scratched the inscriptions there
on, dug the vault and prepared dra-
matte resurrection tableau. at which
the foreign consuls assisted either as
dupes or as conscious principals in the
fraud.
Spanish governmental and historical
authorities followed the lead of the Ha-
