What appears to have been two
deliberate attempts to fire buildings
i'm this city occurred last night about
midnight Both buildings were liv-
cry and feed barns, one that of Eu-
gene Coy, in the new Page building
at the corner of Second and Walnut
streets, and the other the John Fl.
Macbeth barn on Hickory street, the
structure being owned by John
Graham Both attempts were fail
ures, fortunately, although consider
able damage was done at each place.
But for the prompt discovery of the
fires, serious loss would probably
have resulted, for in very few
moments more the horses would have
been smOthered by the dense smoke
of burning hay and straw.
Fire Started in Hay Chute.
The first fire to be discovered,
and probably the first to be set, was
that at Mr. Coy's barn. This was
started in the hay chute in the base
ment, containing six tons of hay,
four of straw and seventy-five bush
, els Of corn. Jack Orr and Rob
FRAZER were Ill Une Office anu IL was
ten minutes before twelve that they
noticed the smell of smoke. Running
to the rear of the barn, they found
the hay and straw on fire, and
while one telephoned to the central
station the other shut the door that
separates the feed department from
the stable part. This prevented the
smoke suffocating the horses, and
! the latter were taken out to places
OF safety.
! When the liremen arrived they
found the hay and straw burning
and turned on two streams of water
It was necessary to pitch out a
good deal of the burning feed to
reach the fire, and this took time
The blaze was finally drowned out
but the smoke and water ruined
all of the feed, including the corn
and Mr.. Coy places his loss at 5000
While he carries $4,000 insurance, he
learned this morning that his policy
does not cover loss on feed. The
| building suffered no particular dam
age, as it is practically fire proof
Another Fire Discovered.
! While this fire was in progress
and at ten minutes after midnight

The directors of the MankatO Fair
and Blue Earth County Agricultural
association are planning on fea-
ture for the next fair, TO be held in
this city in September, that will be
Of great educational value to the
farmers. II is planned to give prizes
for the best corn raised this season,
and it is practically certain that
experts from the state agricultural
school will be present to award the
prizes, and perhaps also TO give lee
lures. 1t is thought that Professor
Bull will come, but if it should be
impossible for him to come then
some one else from the school will
be secured.
A great deal Of interest is being
taken in lettering the quality of
the corn crop of this state, and it
is up to the farmers to do it. The
seed train was here the other day,
and many of the enterprising farm
ers were present and got some valu-
able pointers on how to improve
the quality and increase the guam
tity of the yield, and if these fol-
low the advice given they Will no
doubt have crops that will astonish
their neighbors, who have not shown
the same interest.
The state agricultural school has
prepared forms of entry blanks and
OF entry lists, for use all over the
state, so as TO have them uniform.
and Secretary Johnson states that
the local association will adopt
these.

of Mr.. Macbeth's barn, was awak-
ened by the smell of smoke and dis
covered fire in the rear of the
barn. He at once gave the alarm
and box 26 was rung. This brought
the fire fighters to the Macbeth barn
with one line of hose that was al
ready attached to a hydrant, and
not minute was lost, and it is
well that this was the case.
The fire was in quantity of hay
and straw in double stall by the
rear door, occupied by the Mace
team, one of the best owned by Mr..
Macbeth. The blanket on one of
the horses was burning, and the
manager was blazing up, with the
fire all about the horses. All of
the horses in the barn were rearing
and plunging in fright, as the air
was heavy with smoke. They were
gotten out, and none were injured
except the Mace team. One OF these
horses will be saved, but the other
may not be. 1t is in the care of
DR.. Philip at the Minneopa barn. 1t
was burned besides inhaling smoke.
The fremen soon drowned this
fire out. The loss to building and
contents is slight, except as to the
horse that may be lost.
Neither Mr.. Coy nor Mr.. Macbeth
has any clue that would lead to the
discovery of the party who started
the fires, if they were started by
some firebug, as seems almost GER
tain.
1t was easy TO get to where the
fire was started in Mr.. COys barn,
as the party could have gone down
the inclined driveway after opening
the side door, which was not locked,
and reached the feed chute and start
ed the fire and slipped out unnoticed.
To enter Mr.. Macbeth's barn it was
necessary to open door that was
hooked on the inside, but investiga-
ton today shows that this was easily
possible, with any thin piece of
who was the first to approach this
door after the alarm, found it slight
ly ajar, being unlocked. The fire
was started just in front of this
door, and the party could have gone
out after lighting the dry straw and
have pushed the door shut.
Six weeks ago Mr.. Macbeth found
the inside of his fine pallbearers
rig and of one of his hacks, in the
building on the alley, ruined by fire.
Someone had poured kerosene on the
upholstery and started fires and
closed the doors. This latter act
had caused the fires to smother out
without doing more damage than
10 injure the upholstery.

Last night between nine and ten
o'clock, Charles Huettl, shoemaker
for Henry Spicer, went to the rear
of the latter's store to go into the
shop, from the Milwaukee depot,
and noticed someone at the rear
window of Conner Jones store a
few steps north. He waited and
saw the party break in and crawl
through a hole in the window.
Then Mr.. Huettl ran to the police
station and notified the officer. Of
went to the rear door of Mr..
Jones' store and entered and soon
found the intruder trying 10 con-
ceal himself behind one of the
show cases.
The man gave his name as Harry
Wilson and made no resistance, and
the officer took him to the police
station and locked him up. 1t is
expected that some kind of a
charge will be made against the
taken any goods, so far as known.
Didn't Intend to Steal.
Wilson, when seen at the police
station this morning by a Free
Press reporter, said that he did not
go into the store to steal anything,
but to turn the store upside down"
as he expressed it. He said that
he did not like Mr.. Jones and was
going to "muss up" his goods for
that reason When asked why he
did not like Mr. Jones, he did not
give any very good reason, but
said that he had bought articles
there, and on one or more occa-
siOns had asked Mr.. Jones to play
certain selections on one of his
monographs, but Mr.. Jones had re-
fused This had made him angry
with the latter. About four days
ago he went to the store TO buy n
battery for his pocket flashlight
and the clerk was busy waiting
upon someone else. He had bought
battery there before, and this
time he reached into show case
and took out a, battery. For doing
this, The clerk had called him down.
and this added to his anger and
he determined, it would seem from
the account, to get even for his
fancied wrongs.
Wilson stated that his home is at
Cooperstown, n. d., and that his
parents are living there. They are
not very well to do, and he said
that they would not help him, as
they no longer took much interest
in him. He said that he had not
been home for some time. lie
had never been arrested before, he
said.

the pieces, and that this left a

crawled. He had not been in the
store more than five minutes wher
he was arrested.
