MONKEY WRENCH A Glue
Tool Leads 10 tile Arrest OF Two Men
On Charge OF Burglary Committed
Several Weeks Ago.

Several weeks ago the office OF inc
Denhaller bottling works was broken
into and a small amount Of money ana
monkey wrench comprised the prop
erty stolen by the thieves. The case
was reported to the police, and SCI
geant Roberts and Pairolman Rhll-
Inns made an investigation. They dls-
covered that the thieves had pried open
O window with a monkey wrench, as
marks left by the tool were plainly
visible.
Working on this clue the officers have
obtained results and this morning
Frank Russell, tcamster, and BILLY"
Thompson, employed by the Denhal-
ters, were taken into custody on sus-
picion of having committed The rob-
berry. Both are now In tho city jail
and arc being sweated by the officers.
The police learned that the two men
had been rooning together, and they
also learned that Russell had mon
key-wrencl, and that 1t WAS the one
stolen from Denhalters. A search OF
the room resulted in the finding of the
wrench, and the sleuths were con-
WINGED that Russell knew something
OF the robbery. When they talked
with Thompson about the affair tho
latter became nervous and acted In
lice became convinced that he was
party to the robbery. and both were
locked UP and questioned. They told
conflicting stories. and while the po-
lice declined to give out any informa-
ton about the mysterious proceedings
1t is known that both prisoners have
made statements rejecting upon each
other. The men are being held pend

City Engineer Says Collision OF Board

plain Reason for Defects.

f For Contractor James Kennedy there
ie probably trouble ahead The people
in the districts where he is laying side
walks have been watching the work.
They fail to approve of what they sec
going on. and today Il committee of
citizens is at work TO check up results
ofpreyious observation.
This committee consists of Carl A.
Badger. H. Il. Schcll,J. w. Mckinney,
3 IL. S. Sheets, Frank Wilson and e. A.
Evans. As data on which to proceed at
the outset the committee has the claims
Of property owners that places where
y Kennedy should fill, he had filled with
3 loose dirt and has failed to lamp 1t or
give 1t time to set. being so anxious to
rush work in tho election season SO as
to utilize every available man, that he
slapped down II concrete and cement
/, topping To q loose dirt bottom. Then
he moved his equipment forward each
day, totally neglccting to protect BY
barriers the cement laid the day before.
Feet prints. wagon marks, and general
designation Is therefore, declared to
lie in the trail of his work.
But more serious than either Of these
matters is the charge}thnt he has used
much moro sand and gravel in propor-
tion to cement that would make o rea
sonably secure walk and much more
than allowed bysspeclilcations.
WATCHERS KEPT TALLY.
WATCHERS are declared to have kept
tally son his methods IN this regard
and one property owner stated to the
News this morning that the side
walk in front OF his place was so poorly
topped with cement. that the UNDER
lying Tough concrete appeared on tho
surface In many places.
AT II mass meeting held last night In
the Tllirty-first ward amusement hall,
the matter of kennedy's work was ex-
haustlpely discussed preceding the ap-
&point1nent Of the committee on inves-
tigation named above. AtSthat meet

Vital Questions Of the Day

Last Sunday at II q. M. Rev
T. Price of ST. Paul church
preached a very able aud timely
sermon touching the live ques.
tons of present day needs. Que
particular phase of his sermon
was to call attention to the fact
that the clubs and social auxiliar.
les. of the church pay too much
attention to mere Ratings. He
advised the young people to
not attempt to live beyond their
means, but buy a home. Eat and
wear less, and pay more atten
tion to things more essensial
than mere eating and dressing
He declared that we must pre-
pare to live here. The text was
