NEWSPAPER PLANT ARSON CASE
WOMAN EDITOR is ACCUSED OF
TRYING TO DESTROY OFFICE.
Mrs. Kate Sandum, Proprietress OF
BriceIyn, Mimi, Sentinel,
Under Arrest.

Blue Earth.-Mrs. Knute Sandum,
who is the proprietress and ed
itor of the Briselyn Sentinel, was
brought here by Sheriff George N.
Freer, charged with arson.
Deputy State Fire Marshal Robert
j. Martin of Minneapolis and G. F.
Peimbach of st. Paul had been at

til Monday, April 2S, County Attorney
H. L. Bulls being the prosecuting
attorney. Putnam and Carlson are
Mrs. Sandum's counsel.
Thursday night, April 3, as the fore
man of the Bricelyn Sentinel came
into the printing office at late hour,
he discovered in a secluded spot near
the newspaper press in the back OF
the room a hatbox filled with cloths,
excelsior, ETC., saturated with turpen-
tine, and old papers scattered about.
In the box was a tallow candle,
burning, and the combustible mate
rial was so placed that when the can
die burned down it would quickly ig-
mite the mass.
w. A. Bruss, the foreman and for
mer editor of the Elmore Eye, quick
ly extinguished the flame and notified
the city marshal and some others.
They made an examination and left
for the night. The next morning all
the remains of the attempt at arson
had been removed
There were three keys to the print
ing office: one in the possession of
Mr. Bruss; a school teacher, who had
rooms over the Office, but who was
out of the city, had another; Mrs.
Sandum had the remaining one.
There was $4,000 insurance on the
property, which was in her name as
the owner.

HALF NELSON-C CROTCH
Considered Simplest Grip In
Wrestling Business.
Champion Frank Gotch Won Ameri.
can Title First Time by Means Of
This Combination-Gives Pow
erfuI Leverage.

rYHE half nelson is the primal hold
n in wrestling. 1t is considered the
simplest grip in the business. yet
it is important, for an infinite
number of combinations may be Sc
cured in conjunction with it. The
most important of these is the crotch,
a grip barred in Greco-Roman wrest-
ling; but Greco-Roman is only half
wrestling-it bars half the holds.
Some of my hardest matches have
been won by securing the half nelson

the worlds champion. Il won the
American title the first time by the
use of this combination. Jenkins was
a tough customer-strong, rough and
capable of great endurance. When 1

picked Jenkins up bodily and slammed
him to the mat four times in success

Wounds Child, Commits Suicide.

Fergus Falls.-Mrs. Peter Johnson,
who resides in the town of Dane
Prairie, near here, committed suicide
last week. Sometime during the after
noon, while her children were at
school, and her husband in the city,
she shot her youngest daughter, aged
4, in the head with a 20 caliber rife.
The bullet stunned her, and, thinking
she was dead, the mother wrapped
her carefully in bed. Then, taking
a heavier rife, she shot herself sever,
al times, finally placing the muzzle in
her mouth, and sending a bullet
through her brain. When her chill
dren arrived from school they found
her body against the door, The little

WHY PITCHERS CANNOT SLUG
Veteran Jim Mcclure Says It's Be
cause Heavy Hitters Dodge the
Position of TWrler.

"He must be pitcher; he can't hit
the ball" How often one hears that
conclusion by the fans and it raises
the question: Why are pitchers al
most always poor hitters?
Jim MCGUIRE, Tiger scout, says that
one of the reasons is that when base
ball men find out that they can't be
good hitters they develop themselves
into pitchers. And vice versa, when
they find that they can't be pitchers
they make stab at developing them
selves into hitters and become out
fielders. --,
Veach, for instance, the new Tiger
outfielder and slugger from Indian
apolis, tried two years ago to be a
pitcher. He found, however, that he
was going to be so valuable as hit
ter that he decided to give up the
only mediocre, and give his attention
to the development of his hitting.
The result has been that he has hit
himself into the big league with ex
cellent prospects of staying there.
Veach certainly has an arm that
is great, all right. He has shown it in
his pegs. OF course, after using il
as he has for throwing from the out
field, he has tossed away his chances
of becoming pitcher again.
Cashion, the big 220-pound pitche;
with the Nationals, is a man whom
Clark Griffith tried to make into al
outfielder. Cashion started in to hi
as if he meant to be among those il
the 300 class, but he failed to make
good and Griffith returned him to the
regular pitching staff.

BURGLAR Fishes for Pants.

Minneapolis. A nimble burglar,
armed with pike pole and seated in
the crotch of a tree, lifted a pair of
trousers from the chair beside the
bed of Frank Saburin, 10 Madison
street NE, and disappeared with 81
and gold watch chain. A peculiar
humping sound awakened Saburin,
who jumped from his bed and stepped
toward low-burning lamp on a
dresser. AS he did so, he was just in
time to see long, slender pike pole
being withdrawn through the open
window at the end.

twenty-three years a factor in the
civic and political life of Minneapolis

III East River road He was 65
years of age. Back from the Isle of
Pines, where he had gone in the hope
of benefitting his failing health, Mr..
Haynes reached Minneapolis yester-
day.
At his home he began rapidly to fail.
He was conscious to the time of his
death. His wife, his daughter, Mrs.

when he died. Harvey S. Haynes of

The raising of a fund which enabled
Mr.. Haynes to travel to the south, as
testimonial to him by men who had
long known and respected him, was
the last act of general interest con-
nected with his long residence in Min

return was a shock to his friends.
Fortunate in Politics.
Remarkable also for extraordinary
political luck, Mayor Haynes combined
with il a geniality and capacity for
meeting and knowing men that was
remarkable. His entry into political
life by his election to the city council
from the second ward in 1890, by %
votes, was probably the most notable
luck incident of local political his

was elected mayor in 1904 by 256

lftical associates termed Haynes

test between Haynes, w. E. Satter

more than Van Lear.
Mr.. Haynes was the first democrat
ever elected alderman in the second
ward. In 1892, while in the council.
he was nominated for mayor but was
defeated by w. HI. Eustis. His next
appearance as a candidate for mayor
was ten years later when he defeated
Julius ]. Heinrich for the democratic
nomination, after hard fight. At the
general election he defeated Fred NJ.
Powers. At the next election he was
opposed by David p. Jones and was
defeated. In the fall of 1900 he again
opposed Mr.. Jones in hard fight and
was elected. In 1908 he defeated
Charles H. HUM for mayor.
The 1910 election marked the first
serious entrance of the socialist party
in Minneapolis politics. Thomas H.
Van Lear was the socialist candidate
for mayor and the republican candi-

his neck as with those of the neck and

placed on the neck.
Then there is another thing that
should not be overlooked: When the
crotch is secured along with the half
nelson, one should ram the arm as
far under his opponents legs as pos
sible. This enables one to hold his
opponent more securely and gives the
attacker greater lifting power.
