INDICTMENTS we're found against several
alleged keepers of gambling houses in st
Paul by late Ramsey county grand jury,
but owing to the scarcity Of convictions in
such cases under the common law, in con-
sequence of the difficulty Of obtaining ad-
missible effective evidence, the jury called
on the mayor and other city authorities to
rigidly enforce the city ordinances on the
subject of gambling, such course being at
tended with but little effort, as compared
with prosecutions under the common law.

THE expressions of some of the con

THE expressions of some of the COM
munists in America relative to the
assassination of the car OF Russia suggest
that the same spirit that led to that
atrocious act has obtained Judgment in
this country. That any human beings
should publicly express their rejoicing at
the foul murder, and deliberately counsel
the assassination of our own citizens for
the simple reason that they have been
successful in business ventures, shows a
depravity that merits the hangman's rope.
These wretches presume too much upon
the liberty of speech and action that has
been granted them here, outcasts as they
were from their native country; and if
they do not control their pestilent utter
ances it may become necessary to apply
the gag in manner they may not relish.
This land was not intended as refuge
for murderers and incendiarles, and it
would be wise for the communists who
have been tolerated here to have care.
The first overt act of any of the kidney
should ensure the whole gang of plotters

MANKATO.

Saturday night Belle Blake, young
woman of this city, who had been en-
ployed near Caroline station, was return
ing to this city. She had gone to the
station to come down on the train, but
being told the train was late, started on
foot. She had got as far as Bradley's
crossing, about four miles from the city,
when the 10 o'clock freight caught her
in tHe large cut near that place. 1t was
not known until Sunday morning that
there had been any accident. But with
the light of day blood was discovered on
the cars Examination discovered her
body in the place above indicated. Her
head was crushed to atoms, nothing re-
naming but part of the scalp. She was
brought to the city yesterday. No in
quest will be held, as it is considered that
no one is to blame; for it is impossible to
see anything while the train is in these
cuts, as the whole train is involved in a
cloud of snow. She was an honest, hard
working girl and sister of the Blake
boys, who reside in this city.
