After a vain attempt to learn the
Identification of the man who was
killed in a bicycle accident on Me-
mortal day, and after the body had
been buried by the Jewish people Of
Minneapolis. the mystery has been
solved. He is Anton Antonio, an Ital-
ian, who lived at 21s Sixth avenue

muse, friend Of the dead man, wen.
with the police to the county morgue,

A settlement and dismissal has been
made in the case of the Minneapo

UP business and quit operations, va
eating the plant, the Minneapolis
Brewing company. which owned the
plant claimed the property had been
greatly damaged. Quite a contest had
been expected. but the matter has beep
settled out of court.
Sentiment in favor of a general
strike of all the unions allied to the
building trades appears to be growing
steadily in the ranks of the men az
fected. and it is probable that at Sun
days meeting an ultimatum will be
formulated for the employers. This
ultimatum will give the employers a
day or two in which to get the master
sheet metal workers in line for the
strike will be ordered. Most of the
men think it will be unnecessary and
therefore unwise to call out any of
the unions outside of the building
trades.

est moestation from the outside, went
through the entire stock Of silks, furs
and other goods. They picked out gar
nents valued at between $500 and $500
took their departure and have COM
pletely covered up their tracks. From
the manner in which the robbery was
committed the police are inclined to
believe that the men are the same who
have been operating in the downtown
stores for the past two months and
who have secured plumber which to-
tails possibly over $1,000.
