 Why did your people all vote one way?
 Messenger-Because we were di- rected to by the First Presidency.
 President-would you vote for any one if so directed.
 Messenfer-Of course.
 President-And still you think you are free voters? Now, what offices did the Governor seek to fill by appointment?
 | Messenger-Certain offices which the organic act says shall be filled. by the Governor.
 President-What was the ob- jection to the Governors act, then?
 Messenger - Our Legislature passed law. years ago, providing for filling those offices by election.
 President-Your Legislature then repealed so much of the organic act as related to those offices?
 Messenger-No; but just pro- vided new plan, and Congress has never interfered with our elections.
 President-But does that change the original sovereign law? You complain of the people out there. Have they ever wronged you in person or property?
 Messenger-No; but they fight our polygamy and church discip- line.
 President-Do you know of any civilized people on earth who would not? You want Commit tee of Investigation sent to you. Suppose that committee were to be sent and should report that the Governor. the Commission, the Court and the people, whom you complain of were right, would you accept that as final?
 Messenger-Of course not.
 President-Would a command of Congress, backed by an order of the Supreme Court, command obedi- ence from you?
 Messenger-That would depend , lpon our instructions from the First Presidency. !

The Protest Presented.

ldress ana protest recently issued
 by the Mormon Church and sent
 by special messengers will hurt the
 Mormon cause in the eyes of the nation more than any other one thing they have ever done. Imag, inc the messengers presenting their papers to President Cleveland, with the speech which was prepared for them before they went away, and imagine what must be the drift of the conversation as follows: President-You are in trouble out in Utah, and you have brought me this address and protest and ask my help. Let us understand each other. You make many com plaints; tell me in what way you are being persecuted?
 Messenger-There is wicked Judge out there and vile Prose cutting Attorney who are harassing our people.
 President-Have they convicted or annoyed any innocent man?
 Messenger-But their ways are most despotic and tyrannical. They have arrested many old and re- spected citizens, and put even our President and Premier to flight.
 President-How could they do this? what do they charge against your good men?
 Messenger Polygamy some times, and sometimes living with more than one wife.
 President-And do your good men do these things?
 Messenger-Of course; it our re- ligion.
 President-But is there not law against these things?
 Messenger-Yes United States law; but we have higher law, one from God.
 President-But I have taken an oath to enforce this common, earth ly, United States law. I have re- ,eived no revelation to the contrary. Now, what would you do were you n my place?
 Messenger-But they shut our people from the jury panel; all we want is fair trial.
 President-How many men are here in polygamy in Utah?
 Messehger-Probably five thous- nd.
 President-How many thieves To you think there are in Utah?
 Messenger-Probably three or our thousand.
 President-When you catch one f them, does he always insist I Ipon being tried by other thieves? { Messenger-But that is not fair, | lr. President; thieves are crimi- , als; we are religious people. President-But the law calls your | olygamy a crime; you are trying 0 make it reputable, but that does ! ot change the statute. I see here V ou complain of the commission rs, and say they framed a fearful r ath for your people to take. Why -as it hard for any of your people s ) subscribe to that oath? V Messenger-Our best citizens are F l polygamy. They cannot of curse take the oath. President-But was it not the V uty of the Commissioners to see r nat no polygamist was allowed to ote? You complain of the Gov T, rnor. What has he done? F Messenger-Everything bad. He f alls our church despotism he q ;ood in the way of building n university; he counted for nothing UT 1S,000 free votes; he tried to Il some of our offices with his own g ppointees; he is our enemy. \ President-Should your Presi- II ent tell you to do anything, would V GU obey? t Messenger-Of course. c President-Anything? t Messenger-Of course. f President-And would all your eople?

LIVELY RUNAWAY.

Yesterday afternoon, while Mr.. vii
liam Sharpe, of Belgrade, was transactin,
some business matters in the foundry
his team, which was hitched just outside
broke loose and ran away. They made
for Front street, and went down tina
thoroughiarc ut II break-neck speed, col
liding with j. Nj. Karnany's meat wagon
in front of the FREE Press office. This
team joined i'm the procession. The
reach having broken, the forward end OF
the box dropped to the ground, and the
driver tumblcd head over heels with
meat and live sheep rolling around pro-
miscuously. The two teams thus free
made Front street scene of wild con-
fusion for few minutes. and narrow
were the escapes of vehicles standing
along the walks from instantaneous de-
molishment. Sharpe's team was cap
tured near the big mill, while Karmany's
was not brought up until they reached
the crossing of the railroad track leading
to the stone quarry this side of ID. t..
Brooks residence, about two miles from
the point of starting. The runaway
horses were someW hat bruised and cut
about the limbs, but it is thought nothing
serious will result. Both wagons were
badly incapacitated,

FOR THE FAIR.

The officers of the Southern Minneso
tn Live Stock and Fair Association are
daily in receipt ofletters informing then
of intended stock exhibits. Yesterday
word was received from A. Harrington
Esq, of Rochester, this State, that he
will show one car load, and probably
two, of his thoroughbreds. Mr.. II. is
one of the largest breeders of horses an,'
cattle in the State, and the fact that he
has determined to come to our Fair with
a goodly amount of stock, is evidence
that he has implicit faith in its success.
Mr.. G. M. Green, proprietor of the
Greenvalley Stock Farm, also gives no.
tice that he will be here with some OF
hIs Percheron-Norm horses and Aber.
deen-Angus cattle.
c. II. Piper, President of the Associa-
ton, will likewise show some of his lust
ly celebrated Polied-Angus cattle, thor
ougbred horses and Poland China hogs.
II. l.. Elouck, Esq, of Good Thunder,
will also represent his fine breeds of
stock, as SO also will Mr.. Boynton, of
Garden City. In fact the stock depart
ment will be more fully represented than
ut any Fair ever before held in Southern
Minnesota. Every available stall and
pen upon the ground has been engaged
at this early date, and work will i'm
mediately begin upon the construction
Ola sufficient number of additional apart
ments for the accommodation of all ex-
hibitors.
Everything bids fair for grand exhi-
bit in every department, and the attend
ance will be the largest ever had ut an
agricultural show in this portion of the

4 WOMAN near Winnebago City named
Mrs. Howell was thrown from Il trcstle
by train Il few evenings ago receiving
injuries " hicl will probably cause death.
The Press Nc~s has this to say of the UNI
fortunate one:
She had been in the habit of walking
nightly for some time, across the long
railroad bridge which spans the Blue
Earth river west of town. On Monday
cvcnineeShe walked across and back and
counted all the ties along the way, tell
ing her friends when she got home how
many there were. Tuesday evening
about . O'Clock she started out again for
her accustomed moonlight ilitting, but
when near the middle of the bridge, was
caught by the eastern bound passenger
tram and hurled To the ground below, Il
distance of 10 feet. The engineer saw
the woman on the track and put on the
air brakes, but not in time To fully stop
the train before reaching her. The train
was running at Il very low rate of speed
when the cow-catchcr brushed her from
the track. The railroad men Improvised
II litter and carried the woman up INTO
one of the coaches, bringing her To the
depot. She was then conveyed To the
home of her brother, Mr.. Calkins, and
Drs. llumcs and Stauilcr summoned.
They found that both her limbs had
been fractured in two places, and that
she also had sustained other internal in
iurcs, the extent of which they could
not determine, but the probabilities are
that the woman viii die.
The wOman's husband, We learn, de-
serted her sometime ago, since which
she has been living with her brother
here. Another brother from Iowa had
arrived here II few DAYS before for the
purpose of taking her home To live with
him. She is n large, ileshy woman of
about III years of age, and it was II mira
Gle how she escaped instant death from
| Il fall of 10 feet. Domestic trouble had
tended 10 make the woman insane at
spells, but il seems curious when this
fact was known that her movements
were not watched.
