WINTHROP FIRE BUGS ARRESTED
Two Men Charged with Trying to
Set Fire to HauenStein
Building.

Some two or three weeks ago the
Hauenstein Brewing Company's sa-
loon building in Winthrop was parti-
ally destroyed by fire. Two New Ulm
men, Peter Carols and William Keep
Ike, are the tenants of the building and
they were inclined to attribute the
cause of the fire to defective chimney.
Last Thursday they discovered their
mistake. The fire had not been seri-
Gus enough to prevent them from &C.
cupying the saloon portion of the
building, and during the heavy wind
that prevailed throughout the after
noon they detected the strong odor of
kerosene. Investigation was immedi-
ately started and showed the rear end
of the frame structure to have been
thoroughly saturated, evidently with
the intention OF starting fire during
the night.
That evening watch was kept and
enough evidence. was secured to war
rant the arrest Oh Saturday of VIM.
Kemp and Herman Bening, one bar
keeper in another saloon and the other
laborer who is reported to have said
that 'something must be done to give
the laborers employment.
Bening had his hearing Monday and
was bound over to the next grand jury
on a charge of attempt at arson.
Kemp's hearing occurred yesterday,
too late for the Review to ascertain
the outcome.
The woman's suffrage constitutional
amendment will not be submitted to
the voters of the state at the next
general election. The Seward bill
providing for the submission of this
question was killed in the senate Fri
day, receiving only twenty-one AFR
native votes, while thirty three were
cast against it.
Carl Macho, who lives next to the
pldub VI tiiC 4SCW C1Iu OSSO w.. LIDS
through his attorney, Albert Stein
hauser, begun suit against the
company to enjoin it from continuing
the operation of it's plant. He alleges
that the noise and dust therefrom dis
turb him in the peaceful occupation of
his own premises.
President Eberhart of the senate has
appointed Senator Clague of LANDER
ton, Sullivan of Saltwater and Smith
of Minneapolis as the senate members
of a conference committee on the mort
gage registry tax bill, which was
passed by the senate after being con-
siderably amended. The house refused
to concur in the senate amendments and
asked for a conference committee.
The house has passed the good roads
bill introduced by the committee on
roads and bridges. The bill provides
for the appointment of a county super.
intendent of highways and the aboli.
ton of the present Office of county sur.
yeyor. The superintendent of high.
ways must be competent engineer
and roadbuilder. The Office of roaC
overseer in the townships is also abol
ished and IN it's place a road inspector
is provided for the whole township.
In preparation for the nine-houl
law the Chicago & Northwestern rail.
road is closing scores of its smaller
Offices. Twenty offices on one division
have been discontinued within one
week and many others will be closed
soon. The railroads are unable to
secure telegraph operators sufficient
to man the offices, now that this class
of men can work only nine hours The
operators are being moved to the
larger offices where it is necessary to
have three men instead of two as
formerly. In this way expenses are
being kept down, the law is obeyed
and the larger offices handle the work
formerly distributed among the small
er ones.
