a clump of bushes with evidences

the body near the shoulder and
taking a downward course. 1t is

Three ARRESTS ON Ct
!: = IF = ARSON CHARGE
Investigation Of Eveleth Theater
Fire by Fire Marshal Fullerton
Culminatas in Sensation

Following the investigation of
the recent fire at the Empress
Theatre, Eveleth, which was par
TALLY destroyed on June 10Th,
Max Stipitich, proprietor of the
Bljou Theatre, Charles Lousche
and Marteo Istovich were on Sat-
urday arrested on the charge of
arson.
The trio were given their pre-
llmlnary hearing before Judge Nc
lnnis in municipal court at Eve
leth on Saturday, the Hon. James
+: Boyle representing the state.
All entered pleas Of not guilty and
their hearing was postponed until
Tuesday next, August LIST.
In discussing the arrest Mr.. Full.
lerton declared there was no
doubt the theatre fire was of in
cendiary origin, the only problem
now being to bring the culprits to
justice.
The New Empress theatre fire
followed closely on that which de-
stroyed the Othello theatre, the
latter being on April %. Both
were on Sunday nights and the
first was supposed to be due to
defective furnace, but it is now
thought to have been purposely
set. Following the New Empress
fire a bottle Of gasoline partly fill.
ed was found near the piano, and
there was evidence of the oil hav
ing been thrown on the floor. The
bottle was corked with piece OF
an Austrian newspaper.
The New Empress and the Bijou
theatre, Of which Stipitich is the
proprietor, were competing fol
patronage at the time of the fire.
