Wyatt--Fire Extinguishers Not
Provided Is Allegation
of Inspector

Charging that he has violated the
theater ordinance, a complaint was
yesterday sworn out against Henry
Wyatt, manager of the Mason opera
house.
The legal action was taken following
a thorough investigation of the opera
house by George Keller, city fire in
spector According to his statements,
the theater is not provided with the

reason that we have given so much
away last year and preceding years

the new schools however, which neeu
the adornment.
"The older schools do not need so
much. of course.
However the trees and plants are
offered to all the schools each year.
For instance, last year this com
mittee received such an abundant sup
ply of trees and plants from the city
marks that we sent to many schools
more than they asked for, and thus
there was some objection raised ON
the ground that they were not ready
to take care of all the things sent
them"

JONES HELD FOR MURDER.
Strong Evidence Against Alleged
Slayer Of Halvorson.

At his preliminary hearing held at
Leeds last week Paul Jones was bound
over for trial at the June term of the
district court in Minneawaukan for the
murder of Hans Halvorson. He was
sken to Minneawaukan and lodged
in the county Jail. Many witnesses
were heard in. the hearing, and a
large amount of evidence against
Jones accumulated. The evidence
ended to show that the gun used was
that belonging to Walter Ryan, the
farmer for whom jones worked. Shot
taken out of the body of Halvorson
was identical with the loading size
used in the other shells, owned by
Ryan, and wads found in the vicinity
of the murder also correspond with
those in Ryan's shells. Those shells
we're bought some time ago and were
all Of kind. A measurement of the
footprints found leading to and away
from the scene of the crime Tailed
with the size of the overshoes worn
by Jones.
One of the most interesting pieces
of evidence during the hearing was
that of an eleven-year-old boy who
testified that the day before the crime
Jones had asked him concerning Hal
vorson's money, and he replied that
he didn't know anything about it.
The boy made even a better witness
