STRIKERS Finally Given In.

NEW YORK, February 5.-There is
very little to be said about the street
car tie-ups today, beyond the fact
that all roads that ran cars yesterday
are running again today and more of
them on schedule time, and all of
them are meeting the demands of
traffic, even the Belt line started out
this morning. Very many of the
strikers are applying for work, but
some the roads, notably the Fourth
Avenue line, will have nothing to do
with them.

TWO VICTIMS s.
Soldier and Little Boy Drowned
Yesterday Afternoon

Yesterday Afternoon.
Justice McAllister last evening was
kept very busy acting as coroner ex-
officio. He was first called to the mill
tary post on Government hill to hold
an inquest on the body of soldier,
Dewitt Thomas, aged %, a private in
the Third cavalry, who was drowned
in the deepest part of the river near
the City brewery about o'clock. Tes-
timony adduced at the inquest showed
that he has not been quite sane since
he had a fall from wagon some
months ago, by which his head was
injured. Yesterday afternoon he ran
toward the river and leaped in. Be-
fore he sank he called once for help,
but that was all, and before assistance
could be summoned he was gone. His
body was recovered and the military
authorities notified. Deceased came
to San Antonio last summer with
Troop b, of his regiment. He was a
native of New Jersey and had enlisted
about IA months ago.
After holding this inquest the Justice
was Immediately summoned to the
residence of Ernest DietZmann, a car
penter living at No. 500 Dallas street,
where he found the little 5-year-old
son of this gentleman cold and stiff
in death. The little fellow had been
playing with some other children on
the Oakland street bridge, near Capt.
Storey's residence, and must have
fallen in the river. The children ran
home and told of the awful accident
which led to the recovery of the
BODY.

"A Pipestone dispatch says: Aswin-

claimed, he sold the farms and was paid
some 5000 cash on the two places. The
purchasers asked for an abstract OF title
and instead of sending here Swender
made it out there and gave it to them,
and said q warranty deed would be
made out as soon as they arrived here.
The gentlemen here knew nothing what
ever of the transaction until yesterday,
when the purchasers arrived with their
families and household goods, but, of
course, the owners refused to give up
the farms. Swender will be arrested,
and the outcome of the case will be

he very successfully did by building a
fire on the floor near the bed. He came
down stairs. his little face beaming with
joy, and announced to his mother, snow,
i have built a fire, mamma" Investi-
CATION proved the statement true, for
the bed and the floor underwent severe
burning. Mrs. Beals extingnished the
fire, as she thought, hut it afterwards
blazed up again and soon got past her
control. The West Mankato fire depart
ment responded to an alarm hastily sent
in, and after some difficulty managed TO
extinguish the flames by means of the
small hand chemical machine with which
the hook and ladder department is sup
piled. AS it was, the fire did not do
much more than burn the bed and a
hole in the floor, but the neighborhood
was given u scare.

A ISLANDER ON THE COUNTY.

With a persistence worthy better
cause the Review continues to advertised ~
Mankato and the surrounding country
by giving space to lot of rubbish signed
by one adam Beaver" These effu-
sions appear nearly every week, and are
called forth by the appearance in one or
another of the city papers of q letter
from some former resident now residing
in California or from citizen who is
taking trip in that State and who, dis
appointed with it, makes a favorable
comparison of Minnesota with the Sol
den State" The character of these ar
ticles is well illustrated by the following
sentence taken from the regular contri-
button in last nights Review: ut is al
most impossible to sell an improved farm
in this part of the State at the price it
cost without Improvement twenty
years ago." Does the ReUiea0 endorse
such an outrageous lie, by granting the
free use of its columns week after week
to a repetition of such falsehoodsP The
business men of Mankato and the farm
ers of this section of the State have been
endeavoring for years to build up the
community and encourage outside CAPT.
tai to invest. After all the time, money
and energy thus spent it must be pleas
ant reading for them to peruse a paper
which depends upon them for support
and find such slanderous articles as this
Adam Beavers appearing nearly every
week. Strangers and those who do not
know the personal characteristics of this
man Beaver might be led to suppose
that his statements were true, from the
prominent position given them and the
fact that no word of refutation ever ap-
pears in the columns of the paper in
which they are printed. If Beaver finds
the State so uncongenial and California
so pleasant he should by all means clear
out, and the sooner the better. The
most astonishing and disgusting part of
the matter is that any paper pretending
to represent the interests of the county
should give space to such fabrications
and by silence lend them moral support.
If the editor cannot see the point, it is
about time that his friends gave him a
| few pointers.
