Fergus Falls Loses Light Case.

Fergus Falls. The district court
here denied the motion for new trial
in the test case to determine the city's
liability for the losses sustained when
the city's electric light dam was
washed out about two years ago. An
appeal will probably be taken to the
supreme court, but there is not much
probability of the trial Judge being re-
versed, and it now looks as though the
city would not be compelled to pay
any damages on account of the flood.

Sought.

Minneapolis. = 1t is possible that
charges of aiding prisoner to
escape from the state penitentiary
may be added to the accusations made
by the police against the men the po-
lice say were the ring leaders of the
robbery syndicate" of which the
dead outlaw, Jerry Mccarthy, was the
tool.
Police Chief Mealey will question
Fred A. Briggs, one of the men i'm
plicated in the evidence left by Jo-
seph ]. Olinger, the policeman who
lost his life in the fight in which he
killed Mccarthy. The chief and War
den Wolfer hope that they may be
able to prove that Mccarthy and Pet
er Juhl were enabled to escape from
Saltwater through the connivance of
outsiders and to punish the persons
responsible.
Briggs told friends after the escape
of Mccarthy and Juhl that when he
went out after having been awakened
by tapping on his window at a. m. a
few hours after their flight he found
the fugitives there. He said he gave
them clothes and money and advised
Mccarthy to leave the country, sug-
costing Australia as the logical place
to go.
Arthur H. benson and Fred A.
Briggs, both of whom admitted asso-
ciating with Mccarthy, were arraigned
before Judge Smith in municipal court
anI roiuoJ Tbau mara
held to the grand jury.
Briggs was arraigned on two charg-
es and benson on one. Bail in each
count was fixed at $4,000, which is
cumulative in the case of Briggs, max
ing his bail $4,000.
In answer to both charges (holding
up Martin Brennan and breaking into
the store of Andrew p Sorenson)
Briggs said, mot guilty." and waived.
When benson answered to the
charge of breaking into the Central
avenue store, he said: Il am guilty"
He was told he could not plead on
that charge in the lower court, but
order that he might have hearing or
be bound over to the grand jury. He
waived.
Detective L. D. Wilson appeared as
complainant in each case, charging
Briggs with highway robbery and
both with burglary in the third de-
gree.
Prisoners Transferred.
Briggs and benson were transferred
from the city hall to cells in the
county Jail. benson gave out a state
ment of places already told by him
to Police Chief Mealey as having
been designated for robbery by him.
self and associates. He said:
Briggs used to go out first and spot
the places, go inside and buy some
thing SO as to get look at the safe.
eff the land looked right, Briggs
would take Mccarthy to the place on
second visit and the yeggman would
get the lay of things. Then a date
was fixed for the intended robbery
and we rested on our oars.

is pronounced as the one "eye-sore"
of the city
Mr.. Ayres, who had been hearty
advocate of river front improvement
for several years, has interested him
self thoroughly in the matter and re-
quested friend mechanic to trace
for him, the levee map with sugges-
tions for improvements. A sea wall
with fill of stone and crushed rock
behind has been suggested as feas-
ible way to build up the section and
put it In presentable and traversable
condition
The ideas for leveling the levee
front by means Of rock and cement
are the best obtainable and it is very
probable that suggestions the blue
prints contain, will be used when the
city gets ready to make the needed
improvements

most valued and esteemed workers of
that establishment.

The Facts in the Case.

When Mr. Baker was interviewed
Saturday afternoon about his pur-
pose to give Keokuk people an oppor-
tunity to hear Madame Nordica he
said;
Mr.. Shipman, manager for
Madame Nordica and her concert
company, spent Saturday in Keokuk
He came at my request after CORES
pondence with him with view to
having Madame Nordica appear In
recital in this city In Mr.. Shipman' s
opinion the greatest drawback was
the limited seating capacity Of the
theatre. Madame Nordica could not be
secured without guarantee and this
guarantee is SO large that | have de-
cided before assuming the RESPONSE
bility to feel the pulse of the public
and If the interest is sufficiently
great will have Madame Nordica and
her company here, probably Monday,
October End.
In order to gauge this public in
terest will circulate a subscription
list. All of the musical enthusiasts of
the city whom we saw during Mr..
Shipman's brief visit are all of the
opinion that the entire lower floor
consisting of three hundred and forty
seats should and would sell by sub
scription at 81. This is the same
price and in some cases less than is
being asked in other cities in which
Madame Nordica is appearing. The
advantages the subscribers will have
are That they are sure of having
seats for the concert and the floor
plan Will be opened to subscribers
Two days in advance of the public
sale. These advantages will readily
become apparent when it is known in
most of Madame Nordica's concerts
me patronage from outside points
within a radius of fifty to one hundred
miles is seldom less than 200 people
The brief and hurried canvass has
only permitted the calling upon lin
lted number of Keokuk's citizens. In
TACT many of those who would be
most interested in the effort to bring
americas greatest prima donna to oul
CITY We're missed. Those who were
not called upon but who wish to share
IN the musical advancement of the
clty are requested to send theil
names to me either by mail or phone

subscribers that the success of bring

uue. All subscribers will enjoy equa
privileges when the private sale fol
subscribers opens. The cost of bring

MADAME NORD|CA

nancIal Responsibility In Order
to Give keokuk Best There
is in Music.
DESERVING OF SUPPORT
Madame Nordlca VIII Start Her
American Tour In keokuk-lf
Concert is Success Others
VIII Follow.

The announcement that Madame
Nordica. Americas greatest singer, is
ia open her American concert tour in
Keokuk, will be received with sur
mise. 1t is a fact, nevertheless. And
that such an announcement is pos
s;hle is due to the desire of Mr.. j. q.
Baker to rekindle the music loving
spirit in Keolluk, the kind that has
, high class and art to It. If the concert
TO he given by Madame Nordica is
success, if the public shows the prop
er appreciation Mr.. Baker will secure
other world famous talent. The flu
tnre concerts depend entirely upon
the attitude of the public toward the
first one. Mr.. Baker is not in this
business for profit. He is not trying to
and does not expect to make money
out of the effort. 1t lis purely de-
sire to give Keokuk and this section
an opportunity to hear the celebrated
artists and to awaken an interest in
the higher class of music. Other
celebrities will follow Madame Nor
dica if her visit is successful and it is
up to Keokuk and this particular sec.
ton to cooperate with Mr.. Baker in
an undertaking that few men would
assume.
Madame Nordica will not visit any
other city in this section. She will
not appear in Quincy or Burlington
and probably but one other point in
the state-Des Moines.
