Entrance to the building was
gained with the use Of pickax

hacked open with an ak. Every desk

thieves, but Mr.. Bierbauer said that
1t would be difficult to state Just
what was taken. A meerschaum pipe

palmy days, when a golden fluid
was manufactured in that plant was
stolen. Then there were several
other "dudeens' of every style that

one Of the drawers of the desk. The
best of these are missing. A gas
mask. keys to gasoline pump, one
or two boxes of small files, and
possibly several bits for augers are
missing.
Not getting rich in their pilfer-
ing in the brewery building the
thieves next preceded to the Bier
bauer home, which is vacant at
present, Miss Adelaide and Ella
now being in California.
Here the pickax was used again,
this time to pry open the shutter on
one of the side windows. Then the
glass was broken, gap large
enough to permit anyone to reach

entrance was gained Mr.. Bierbauer
had no way of determining whether
anything was taken or not, but the
house had been gone through and

o. Preus will resign to accept appoint
ment as United States senator from
Minnesota in succession to the late
Senator knute Nelson, if the state
supreme court holds the governor

cesSor.
Governor Preus In statement
indicated that he will GO to the
United States senate but md not Of
ficially tender his resignation as
governor as was expected.
This was made clear by Governor
PreuS, today, in a formal statement
declaring the call OF the people oil

duty to respond" and that such &C
ton carries out The WISH OF SEN
ator Nelson
Clifford L. Hilton, attorney gen.
eral, in an opinion today, held the
-PpCintment OF Senator Nelson's
successor could be made legally by
the chief executive, but Governor
Preus said he would ask the su-
preme court to pass on the matter
before taking definite action.
The Governors Statement.

ignate Senator Nelson's successor,
Preus assured. The governors

course would be most indelicate of
me were il not that II carries out
the wish or Senator Nelson"
Procedure Not Indicated.
The question can be brought to
ne state supreme court in four diff
erent ways namely, the asking of
g writ OF mandamus to compel the
governor 10 make an appointment;
20 mandamus him to call q special
election; To seek an Injunction to
restrain him from making any ap-.
p0intments. and to obtain an in
junction to restrain the governor
from issuing a call for an election.
What procedure will be followed

Mr. Hilton's opinion held that ''the

cancy is filed at the 1924 general
election.
That the governor must also is
sue writ Of election to fill the va
caDcy at the 1924 election-the per-
SON then elected to hold from such
election until March 4, 1895. This
election Will be a special one but
Is to be held at the same time as
he 1924 general election"
The resignation of the governor
would place Lieutenant Governor
Iouis L. Collins in the gubernator-
ial chair, and he would appoint the
man to serve as Senator Nelson's
successor until the 1924 fall election.
