The editor of the Waseca Herald
caught a cue and worked off some of his
innate fun in this breezy manner:
"The Mankato street commissioner,
Joseph Schlingerman visited Minneapo.
lis and was coaxed into dark corner,
knocked down, and robbed. Mankato
men are noted for their innocent and
npsuspecting natures. When Hunt, Of
TIE FREE PREss, visits Minneapolis, the
police follow him about day and night,
never losing site of him; and when Wise
| of the RerieU, goes up the fire depart
ment also is brought out to assist the
police. 1t requires extra efforts TO police
the city when Mankato men are in
town"
