BASSETT OF NANKATO
P|NCHED AT REDLANDS
Alleged Young Man Forged
Checks; Slip Them Over
ARREST SOON FOLLOWS
Carefully Laid Scheme Is Said
To Have Been of His
Origin

Redlands, Calf, September 12.-
Quick work on the part of the local
police yesterday afternoon about five
o'clock resulted in the arrest of Har-
old Bassett, alias Wayne Power
charged with forging and passing a
couple of checks here during the aft
ernoon. Bassett is now in the city
Jail, awaiting his preliminary appear
ance.
Bassett had been employed at the
Casa Iona the past five days as a
bell hop. He became possessed of a
couple of blank checks of the hotel
which it is alleged he filled out, sign
ing the name of Manager Theodore
Fritzner. One was made out for $35
in the name of Walter Kron. This
Bassett passed at the Redlands Ma
tional bank. The other was made for
$3515 in favor of Paul De Marco, and
was cashed by Otto Suess at the Suess
grocery. In each instance the sigma
ture of Manager FritZner was cleverly
initiated.
Questioned Young Man.
Mr.. Suess questioned Bassett re-
garding his work at the hotel and did
not entertain any suspicious until Bas-
sett was going out of the store. He
Immediately called Mr., Fritzner, who
pronounced the check as forgery
Suess called the police at once and
within a half hour Bassett was taken
in charge.
Officer A. T. Gabriel was responsible

Structure Can Now Be Trod,
Say Mankato Officials
new WAY To NORTH SIDE
Concrete Travel Route Is Com.
pIeted; Cost Is Nearly Hun
dred Thousand

Mayor L. L. Champlin and the
members of the city council drove
over the new Main street bridge this
morning about ten o'clock and form
ally opened the structure for traffic.
Councilman G. w. Eichstaedt drove
the party over in an automobile. The
mayor and councilmen expressed
themselves as well pleased with the
new bridge. ---...s.-. .....-.--..
Quite number of people were on
hand to take part in the informal
ceremony.
Contrarv to expectations the old
bridge at Main street was still in use
at daybreak this morning. and the new
one was still boarded off. Preparations
for the opening Of the new bridge to
traffic were not quite complete. There
was a big electric conduit post still in
the way; one of the gate posts was in
the wrong place and had to be re-
located; a big trench was still open
for the laying of some gas pipes; and
IueIe were OIueI OuuS anu cnuS W NC
finished up.
The original contract price of the
bridge was $685. 40, but so many extras
have been added by the Widell COM
pany, that holds the contract, on or
ders by the city council, that it is
probable that the total cost will run
up somewhere in the neighborhood of
100000.
Work Begun Over Year Ago.
Work on the new bridge was begun
in May, 1916 The old structure was
moved partly off it's present founda-
lions in June, 1916. Actual pouring of
concrete for the new bridge was COM
menced in July, 1915. In all $500 cubic
| yards of concrete have been used.
| Embedded in the concrete are $4,000
| pounds of steel
The bridge across the roadway is
| thirty-four feet wide. There are also
two sidewalks each seven feet six
| inches wide. The sidewalks are of
concrete. The roadway is surfaced
with creosoted wooden blocks. The
total length of the bridge is 500 feet
1t is carried by five ninety-foot spans.
The Northwestern and Citizens
| telephone conduits are under the north
sidewalk The gas main is under the
south sidewalk.
The bridge is designed to carry a
fifty-ton street car and twenty-ton
tractor, with three fourths Of the
weight, if need be, on one axle. and
the axles ten feet apart from center to
center.
The uniform live load of the bridge
is 300 pounds per square foot. This is
on the roadway. The sidewalks are
made for weight Of 80 pounds to the
square foot. This figures uu to total
of 1850 tons that the bridge is made
to uphold, if properly distributed.
The street railway tracks are al
ready on the bridge. The lamp posts
are made to serve as trolley poles
with an eye on each post.

osition, the senate military commit
tee today reported adversely Sena-

that the consen tot every drafted
man must be obtained before he re-

Senator Hardwick's bill would make
it impossible to send men to fight or
foreign soil, unless they were will
ing to go, and all a man would have
to do to avoid being sent out of the
country would be to enlist in the

LYLE C. COOPER HURT
UNDER MOVING AUTO
Knocked Down at the Corner
OF Second and Cherry
WAS STRUCK IN BACK
Dragged Along the Street For
About Thirty Feet, Is
Report

Lyle c. Cooper, trombone player
with the Sandon- Mankato band, suf :
fered serious injuries in an automo-
bile accident this noon, and is said
by onlookeIs to have had miracu-
lous escape from instant death, when
he was knocked down and dragged
for about thirty feet by an automo-
bile driven by Thomas Sherk
The accident occurred near the G.
A. Lewis garage, corner of Second
a number of people. DR.. J. J. Falla-
hee, with DR.. w. D. DeCoster in the
car with him, was driving up Sec
ond street on the right hand side of
the road. Mr.. Cooper had started to
cross the corner, going up Cherry
street, and stopped about three feet
from the curb to allow Dr. Fallahee
to pass. Mr. Sherk, driving up Cher
ry street, is stated by onlookers to
have turned the corner striking Mr.
Cooper squarely in the back with the
fender of his machine
Doubled UP Under Auto.
The young man was doubled up
under the automobile and dragged
across in front of the Y M. C. A.
before the Sherk machine was stop
ped. DR.. Fallahee states that he
feared Sherk would collide with him
when he turned the corner, as he
was coming at rapid speed, and that
both himself and DR.. DeCoster were
sure that the young man had been
killed. They hurried across the street
and picked him up, finding that he
was alive but very badly bruised and
shaken and in a semi conscious con-
dition. They placed him in DR.. Fal-
lahee's automobile and took him to
the home of r. G. Sandon on Cherry
street, where he makes his home.
After making an examination of his
injuries the doctors had him put to
bed and ordered absolute quiet.
Had Back to Car.
1t is said that Mr.. Cooper had his
back to the approaching automobile
driven by Mr.. Sherk, and was struck
down when unaware of approaching
danger Dr. Fallahee stated this
afternoon that it was impossible to
determine the extent of the young
mans injuries at this time. His
nerves appear to be shattered for the
time being, and he has a bad scar
across his back where the fender OF
the car struck him. There are also
bad abrasions on his lower left leg
elbow and left hand. The suit OF
clothes he was wearing was torn and
ruined. DR.. Fallahee considers it a
miracle that Mr.. Cooper escaped in
slant death.

STORY TOLD BY GREENE
Tale of Atrocities Brought Home BY
Al Al obuI,nre nriuar

Tale of Atrocities Brought Home BY
An Ambulance Driver.
When Attorney John E. Regan was
at Florence, Mimi, last week, he had
conversation with T. E. Greene of
the American ambulance corps, who
was hurt and came to America on a
three months leave of absence. Mr..
Regain asked him what he actually
knew about the truth of reports Of
atrocities by the Germans. Mr. Greene
said he saw one little girl with both
arms cut off above the elbows. He told
of one town where girls were taken
and driven off into captivity by the
German soldiers. He told of women
being horribly mutilated. In some
cases their breasts were cut off by
the German soldiers.
