UPSON DECL ARES HE JOINED IN
ARSON PLOT BECAUSE HENRY
BALLLNGER MADE THREATS TO
KILL HIM IF HE SHOULD REFUSE

Brother Against Brother is the
title of tragic drama that is be-
ing staged in the Blue Earth county
Jail, and the headliners in the cast
of characters are Henry Ballinger
and Butch" Upson. While these
two men have made their appears
ance in the limelight under different
names, they are full brothers. One
charges the other with having laid
and carried out the plans to burn
the home of Mr.. Upson at Lake
Crystal one week ago Friday night,
and which resulted in the arrest of
both men on the charge of arson.
Butch" Makes Confession.
Butch" Upson came across"
with his confession today. He told
County Attorney j. w. Schmitt, in
the presence of Sheriff Anton Osten
and Deputy Sheriff Ed Ario, that
Ballinger proposed to him that the
house be fired; that he needed a
sum of money for a certain purpose
of his own.
Upson told the county attorney
that Ballinger had threatened to kill
him if he did not agree to his prop
osition to burn the house.
Made Proposition Several Weeks
Ago.
According. to Upson's story Bal
linger made his startling PROPOSE
ton to fire the house several weeks
ago, just after Upson had returned
from a trip into Canada. Upson,
so he claimed, would not agree to
it, but threats made by his brother
to kill him, caused him to become
an accomplice in the deal. But it
was not, so Upson claims, until
after Ballinger had several times
threatened his life that he consent
ed to become partner in the crime.
1t was agreed that Upson and his
family should go to Forest Lake and
remain with Upson's mother and
during their absence, Ballinger, SO
UpsOn asserted to the county attor-
ney, should go to Lake Crystal and
set fire to the house.
Afraid of His Brother.
Upson declared that he was afraid
of his brother. He made the state

his brother had been in SO many
bad scrapes, and had served two
terms in prison, he did not want
any way related to Upson. Accord
ing to his own story, Upson changed
his name while he was employed
in ST. Paul, and did so at the
suggestion of his employer, who did
not wish to discharge him, but the
employer did not want the fact to
become known that he had in his
working force anyone who was re-
lated to an ex-convict.
1t was with considerable difficulty
that County Attorney Schmitt OBJ
tanned from Upson the confession.
The burden of Upson's story seems
to be that Ballinger planned the
job which was nipped in the bud
by the authorities at Lake Crystal.
Admitted the Conversation.
When questioned in regard to the
sensational conversation he was re
ported to have had with Deputy
Marshal Kelsey at Lake Crystal
prior to the fire, and which was
published in The Free Press, Upson
replied that he talked with Kelsey
for the purpose of ''wising" up the
authorities so that the capture of
Ballinger could be effected.
Immediately after his arrest Bal
linger made the statement to The
Free Press that he thought that his
brother had laid a trap for him.
A portion of Upsons confession
was made up of recital of all the
bad deeds he claimed his brother
had committed during his lifetime
His effort seemed to be directed to-
ward making his brother appear to
be as black as could be painted.
Within day or two Upson will
be taken before Judge Pfau, to
whom he will plead guilty of arson
in the second degree. He will then
receive his sentence.
1t is said that Ballinger and Up
son have two brothers, who live at
Forest Lake. One of these visited
Lake Crystal about a year ago and
he claimed to be half brother
of Upson.

N|COLLET COUNTY FAIR
ATTRACTS BIG CROWD

The Nicollet county fair at st.
Peter drew large crowd yesterday,
fully three thousand people being in
attendance. Practically all the busi
ness houses were closed during the
afternoon while the races and ball
game were on. The wide streets
of St. Peter had their usual flag dec
orations and arches spanned the
main thoroughfare, bidding welcome
to all and giving evidence of the
annual fair and harvest time.
Many Mankato people were at the
fair, showing by their presence a
neighborly interest. The familiar
faces of Judge Henry MolI, Frank
Currier, J. C. Donahaur, Sam Haug-
dahl, Oliver Duane, J. NJ. Turner,
J. C. Hulett, C. H. Jackson, A. R.
Davis, John Hurst, Paul McDermott,
M. L. Klein, julius Smith and c.
C.. Payne were all seen, all actively
engaged in extending greetings and
good cheer to visitors and assisting
in the various departments.
Floral Hall Is Interesting.
Judge Henry Moll has been super.
intendent of floral hall for many
years, and as formerly this building
is an interesting and instructive
place. In the center of the hall is
blooming potted plants and palms,
furnished by the hospital. Wind.
miller & Co. of Mankato had here
beautiful display of flowers which
was an attractive feature in the
building.
The fruit exhibit, while not
large, was pretty sight. There
were 275 entries in the apple de-
partment A. r. Davis and George
w. Studley exhibited several va
rieties of apples. Mr.. Davis has an
orchard of twenty varieties and
some 400 trees. His speciality are
Northwestern Greetings and Wealth
les. Mr. Studley, whose farm is near
Cleveland, has an apple orchard OF
twelve acres and also grows pears
a jar of which were on exhibition
Speaking of pears, Mr.. Studley said
"For thirty-five years | have had in
mind the raising of pears in Mime
sofa and have experimental year
after year with different varieties
About twelve years ago | secured
what is known as the Montreal
pear and am growing them now as
well as apple trees. This year
will have about ten bushels OF
pears. They will keep until the
middle of the year." Mr.. Studley has
twelve acres of apple trees, which
this year produced 1000 bushels.
A remarkably large loaf of bread
and two cinnamon rolls were exhib
| tied by the st. Peter flour mill
In the floral hall was also fancy
work, several private exhibits and
paintings and drawings of the schoo
children.

made his way into the house from
the alley. He climbed through the
transom above the kitchen door.
Burglary Is Reported.
Mr.. Krook reported the burglary
to the police, who had no difficulty
in locating the burglar, as a minute
description had been given of man
seen around the Krook residence by
Mrs. Epple. A man answering this
description was found by Policeman
Herzog in the rear of the Dongus
building. He was lodged in the coun-
ty jail and when searched, the fol-
lowing articles were found on his
person: Two bottles of whisky, two
pocket knives, one glass cutter,

gold watch was also found which
he had hidden away in one of his
socks.

He said that he had walked from
Mankato to New Ulm Saturday
morning. Shortly before he was
arrested he had bought a pair of

tion which was partly scratched out,

ned the inscription, deciphered the
following: william to Amanda" and
ga. v"
Gave An Unsatisfactory Answer.
When asked why the inscription
was mutilated, he gave for explana-
ton that the former owner had trou-
BILE with his wife and when he sold
the watch to Riley he wished to
destroy all signs of the former
owner.
Riley has hearing Tuesday aft
ernoon before Justice Brandt. He
waived examination and was bound
over to the next term of the district

New York, September 13.-After
having saved for seven years to buy
an automobile, Adolph Brambler, a
Brooklyn clerk, has nothing but a
pile of junk to show for the $4,000
machine which he purchased yester-
day. He had his car exactly three
hours.
After two hours instruction in
running the machine, Brambler set
out alone to drive home. He got
over the Brooklyn bridge all right.
but sought the assistance of a chauf-
feur in the crowded streets of the

st. Paul, September 13.-Sixty
three times as much personal prop
erty has been returned from twent..-
two of the towns, villages and small
er cities of the state in which
special assessors for the state tax
commission have been making re-
assessments on moneys and credits
as was reported under the original
assessment, according to figures
given out by the commissioners
Monday.
Credits Show Up.
Fifteen villages and towns in which
no return whatever was made un-
der the original assessment report
ed a total of $157,O15, while the to-
tai returns by the special assessors
were $2S4,142, as against $4,52S or
iginally.
A gain of almost IS per cent was
noted in Fergus Falls, the largest
city that has reported. In the or
iginal assessment $2O5,5O5 was re-
turned under money and credits.

ceived yesterday listed $338,876, a
gain of $133,371.

OF the rural districts which re-
ported no moneys and credits on
the regular assessment, the largest
increase was made by the special
assessor in Duluth, Travers county.
where he dug up $25,027 assessable
money and credits. A close second
was Washington Lake, Sibley coun-
ty, where $22,688 was revealed.
Reassessments have been ordered
by the commission in 233 districts,
and the returns from the assessors
are expected to boost the taxable
moneys and credits in the state
