"This western country has many
duplicates of our own famous Min
nehaha falls, equally as beautiful and
amid an even grander setting" said
Mr.. L. B. Jameson of Minneapolis,
Minnesota, to The Observer on Fri
day while enroute southwark by au-
tomobile to the San Francisco expo
sition. But Minnehaha used to be
the ideal of the listener-it is still
his ideal. Like a silver ribbon this
mere creek, like ten thousand others,
winds its way through dustry rog-
weeds and other vegetation, and leaps
to fame when it becomes Minnehaha
falls. Only a moment previously it
was an unpretentious creek; now it
is immortal in song and story. How
fame awaits opportunity. The but
ting ledge of rock was there, and fate
lay in wait for Minnehaha. Its wa
ters laugh in the shade and sunshine
of a beautiful park, and its veil Of
mist ever moistens the beeches. palms
and ferns as they did in the days Of
the Hiawatha legend:

PROVES PUZZLE
TO THE POLICE

The police are frankly puzzled
over the reported daring robbery OF
Otto Henison. of No 143 Abbott-st..
night -watchman OF the Moffat build.
ing. at Fort and Griswold.sts.
Henison's failure to turn in his
midnight signal to the Still Alarm.
caused George Pruitt. Still Alarm
inspector. TO hasten to the big ONCE
building, where he found HENSON
gagged with a towel. and bound
with ropes and wire 10 a chair in
the basement
He said that his weeks pay, $21.
was taken from the inside pocket
OF his vest by three men. with hand.
kerchiefs over their faces, who
.sprang upon him from behind. and
gagged and bound him.
Detectives Ellenstein. Heig and
Snyder were rushed to the bull ing
in the police flyer. and several auto
patrols took squads of police to
throw a Gordon around the building
while the place was thoroughly
searched
One thing that puzzled the detec.
tives was the fact that Henison's q
gold watch and chain hung on the
front Of his vest, untouched. though
his money. he said. was taken from
tho IN 1afJo yoat ,znnInS
And the officers found that the
watchman still had his keys, and no
traces OF any attempt 10 rob any

be found.
The ONCE door OF w. r. McCre.

was fonnd open,
Henison assured the detectives
that he had tried the door. and
found II locked securely when he
last made his rounds.
Then the detectives. the building
manager and the watchman, all
tried to lock the door. and found
tina. II couldn't be done. as the
latch failed to catch when the door
was slammed. and no amount Of
work would make the latch stick.
Henison Is SO years old. and has
been employed In the building for
