THREAT LEADS TO ARREST
Alleged An Attempt at Rochester t,
Extort Money

Rochester, December 26.-After
springing a carefully laid trap which
was TO reveal the writer of myster-
ious threatening letters signed by
the Ku Klux Khan, police arrested
and brought before judge Manahan
Mrs. Lizzie Brown, wife of c. Brown
of this city, charged with having
written messages TO William Keonig,
elderly farmer living twelve miles
north of this city. a
In making the arrest, Patrolmau
Rex Robinson was forced to use his
revolver.
In these letters, Koenig, the COM
planning witness, charges, that an at
tempt was made to extort money
from him by threatening to reveal a
crime to police.
Mrs. Brown demanded a hearing.
Her bail was fixed at $500, and the
case was continued until January s,
at which time the letters will be re-
vealed in court, and the matter of
the Ku Klux Khan signature investi-
gated. 1rE.
Koenig became frightened upon
receipt of the first letter and startled
and worried by the OMNIBUS sigma
ture OF the mysterious shrouded
T1QeTS, went directly 10 TIE OluCS Oh
Chief McDermott in this city and
handed him the letter.
McDermot after studying the case
carefully, detailed Patrolman Robin

behind the fire department The
lonely spot was then watched by the
officers. 4....-.,
Meanwhile Koehig received anoth-
er letter, which it is alleged brought
more pressure to bear, and threaten
ed exposure if money was not de-
livered. This letter also was signed
by the X. X. X, and was put in the
hands of the police department.
After the trap had been sprung and
police had arrested Mrs. Brown, a
dramatic scene took lace. II is re-
ported that Mrs. Brown shrieked
loudly when Patrolman Robinson at

clared she knew nothing of the af

cry. and not understanding the sit

Robinson. The policeman swiftly
sidestepped and drawing his revoly
er, shot close to Brown and then
made the arrest.

Very Critical Condition.


Albert Lea, December 26.-The
contest against Judge Parker who
was elected at the last general cleo
ton to succeed Judge ]. F. D
Meighen of the tenth judicial dis
trict, has been dismissed.
The hearing was set for Decem-
Der % at Preston, MINI, before
Judge Meighen. but under date OF
December % the contest was dis
missed. Judge Parker is at pres
emit at the Colonial hospital in Ro-
chester in a critical condition, too
weak to undergo an additional op-
Grafton.
The case was dismissed on the
days before election the contestant
by show cause of order issued to
the county auditors and to the sec
rotary of state, had a hearing be-
fore the district court, Judge
Meighen presiding, in which the
contestants asked that the ballots
for Parker be not counted upon the
ground that Parker was ineligible.
This show cause order was vacated,
the court holding the claim of con-
testant, Kelsh, to be without merit.
The present contest which has just
been dismissed was another method
of raising the same question.
Mr.. Parker was publicly endorsed
by the bar of the district before
election and he was overwhelming
ly elected to office. ~ s.. -,

HORSES AND CATTLE suRNED
Fire Destroyed Buildings Owned BY
Oimstead County Farmer

Rochester, December 26.-Awak-
ened by the suffocating of smoke
and crimson glare that i:gnted his
room, John Crayath, farmer living
five miles south of Dover, Elmira
township, looked out of the window
of his home to see the work of life
time, his barn and stock, being des-
troyed by fire.
Unchecked the flames razed the
large we'll equipped building, trap
ping in fiery furnace four horses,
twenty head of cattle, and large
number of hogs.
The origin of the fire is unknown,
and the heavy loss is only partially
covered by insurance.
. John Cravath's family had gone to
Dover and Mr.. Cravath went to the
barn for the evenings chores. He
inspected the place, as was his usu-
al custom, at the close of work and
noted nothing wrong. Going back 10
the house, he busted himself for
awhile and at last retired. Shortly
after nine o'clock Cravath became
duly conscious that he smelled smoke
but did not fully awaken. Then the
bright glare that lividly painted his
room, brought him to his senses and
leaping to the window he beheld his
barn in a seething mass of flames.
Cravath ran out, hoping that he
could save the cattle and horses.
The night was still, with compare
lively no wind, but the flames had
gained such heaGway that no at
tempt to enter the blazing building
would have been to court death
Cravath did what he could to check
the fire, but stood helpless ana
heard the last frantic struggle of
the trapped animals. The fire burned
steadily, destroying the entire build
ing and contents.

That there is a growing interest
in Minnesota history Is evidenced
not only by the increase in member
ship. according to DR.. Buck, but also
by the enlarged use being made of
the society resources. Particularly
striking are the figures showing the
increasing use being made of the Ii
brary resources. Less than 5000
readers were loaned books in the
main reading room in 1919 In 1925
there were 10000 loans made and In
1921 the figure roes to 1900. 1t is
estimated that 10000 persons have
used the book at this Historical So

At the seventy fourth annual
of the society next month,
Dr. Folwell, whose second volume
of History of Minnesota is soon to
come from the press, will be the
principal speaker.
