CAUGHT THE THIEF.

Young Harry Swayne, the boy who
was suspected of robbing the safe in the
FREE PRESS Office Friday night was ar
rested in st. Paul Saturday night. He
admits his guilt, and WAS brought to
the city Monday night. Mondays
Globe gives the following information
regarding the arrest ofthe young rascal:
"Harry Swayne, the boy who robbed a
safe In the Office of the Mankato FREE
PRESS Friday night, was arrested early
yesterday morning by Officer Tom
Lynch as he was about to engage bed
at a cheap lodging house on Seventh
street. The lad was very much under
the influence of liquor, and it was learn
ed that he had spent the night in sa-
looms and disreputable dives in the COM
pany of an older companion well &C
quainted with the city. When locked
up at the central station he had upon
his person $1.16 in money, a watch, re.
volver and box of cartridges, and was
evidently setting out to be real tough
He claimed that a man named Mike
Duffy, who was subsequently arrested
by Officer Gerber, had robbed him o.
about $50, and that that was all the
money he found in the safe. Duffy as
serts his innocence of the charge"
The boy has never borne very good
reputation for honesty, but being brigh
and seeming to take hold of his worl
with interest we were led to give him {
trial. 1t appears that such course only
gave him a chance to exhibit trait!
which were doubtless born in him.
For the consideration of other youth
full desperadoes who may look upoI
Swayne's conduct with envy, we will
mention that the prospects are that HI
will spend some time behind prison
walls.
To the aunt who has labored SO hare
for the boy, and striven so earnestly t.
improve his morals, our sympathy a
well as that of all who know the circum
stances, goes out. She recognizes, how
ever that the lad has proved that h,
needs sterner treatment than he ha
ever yet seen.

DOLLAR BOUND OVER.

The preliminary examination OF Otto
Dollar on the charge of stealing a purse
or bag of money from II. Il. Brown last
Tuesday afternoon in the Citizens Ma
tional bank, took place this Saturday.
The prosecution was conducted bv
County Attorney Smith and y. r. Pau,
and the defense by w. 4. Young. The
witnesses on the part of the state were
X. L. Brown, Ed. Swan and VIM. Buck
holtz. Several new features of the mat
ter not yet published were brought out.
The amount of money stolen was about
$50 The only persons in the bank while
Mr.. Brown was there, were Doiar, Mr..
Buck holtz, the telephone manager, and
N. Webster Dollar was Immediately sus-
pected and MIR. Brown found him, though
Dollar tried to evade him, and asked
HIM to come to his (Brown's) store say
ing he had job to be done. Dollar re-
fused and started for home. MIR. Brown
then communicated his suspicion to him
but Dollar refused 10 show what money
he had. Mr.. Brown and John Oglesby
then went with him to his house and in
tended to watch him carefully until an
officer could be found. Dollar, after
putting up his horses, came out of the
barn with revolver, and aiming 1t at
the two men abusively ordered them to
leave or he would shoot them. Mr..
Oglesby says he snapped the trigger in
his face. He was soon after arrested.
Dollar was put on the stand in his own
defense and denied the THEFT and sew
eral of the above occurrences. Judge
Porter decided TO bind him over TO the
grand jury, and placed the bail at $3.50
which will probably be furnished. He
thinks there is strong case against
Dollar.

Instinct In BruteS.

Few things are more wonderful than
the instinct that guides the brute in the
choice of it's food and medicine. In
India the mungoose, when bitten by the
deadly cobra, is said to seek among the
grass for some unknown herb or sub
stance which it swallows and is thereby
enable to counteract the effect of the
poison. Man, when his system is de-
ranged by the accumulated poiso o1 en-,
habit of body, should seek relief in DIR.

at once establish permanently healthy
action of the liver, stomach and bowels.

summer Pasturage .

/ am prepared to receive 100 head OF
cattle or horses for pasturage on my
farm situated one mile south of Vernon
Center. The season will begin as early
as the growth of the grass will permit
and continue during its continuance in
the fall. The owner of the pasture as
sumes no responsibility for injury or
death of ANIMALS. Unruly animals or
bulls or stations will not be retained.
Salt will be furnished with the pasture.
The rates will be $3.50 for the season for
all animals one year old and IA. 30 for
all greater ages These are az low as
eau be made for the season and the sea-
son price will be required whether the
animal remains the full time or not. The
pasturage consists of upland and mea-
dow and about 40 acres of timber, and
the Blue Earth river flowing through
one corner provides abundant excellent
water at the pleasure of the animal. 1
feel confident there is not a better pas
ture in the county. The grass is mostly
timothy and clover with native grass and
blue grass. w. l.. Tallman residing on
the farm will attend to your wants.

persons, the interior of the car being d.

A oARpEN CITY BLAZE.

Quite disastrous fire visited Garden
City early Sunday morning, destroying
the general store owned by Mr.. ID. Will
liams, and its entire contents, together
with the warehouse. The fire was dis
covered about two O'Clock in the morn
ing, and at that time the entire interior
of The building was in flames, and it was
impossible TO save any of the stock. Ow-
ing TO the lack of facilities for fighting
FIRE the building and an adjoining ware
house burned. The direction of the
wind saved the other buildings in the
neighborhood. The loss on the stock is
about So, 900 and on the buildings about
81 900. OF this, $1,000 is covered by in
surance. Mr.. Williams wanted to sell
out last summer, but was unsuccessful.
He will not rebuild, nor il he likelv TO
start another store.
1t is not known how the fire started,
as the store was carefully looked to the
previous evening, the fiue was safe, and
combustibles had been safely stored
away. II is suspected that robbers
made an entrance during the night and
set fire to the building to cover their
tracks

that Mr.. p. j. Hawley, the popular agent
of the Milwaukee road, has asked for a
leave of absence and will not return to
Mankato. He will leave the city some
time this week and may decide to go to
California or New Mexico and locate
permanently where his brother resides.
He has been the agent here for the past
eight years and has gwen excellent satis-
faction to the company nd to shippers
generally, who will regret his departure.
Mr.. Nj. w. Adams has been appointed
his successor. Mr.. Adams was formerly
the agent at Red Wing, but has lately
been stationed in Dakota. he expects
to move his family to Mankato at an
early date. He Is pleasant gentleman
and will doubtless make a popular agent.

MILWAUKEE IMPROVEMENTS.

The c., NJ. & st. P. railway officials
have decided to fl. in under the trestle
from the depot to the Minnesota river
bridge, a distance of two blocks. The
I'll will be about twenty feet deep and
probably be under both trestles. The
piling has become somewhat rOtton and
would soon require renewing. The dirt
to do the filling with will be taken from
the sand pit near Red Jacket. 1t has
not yet been decided whether TO make
the fill between the two trestles or not
In any case the improvement will be a
great one and very creditable to the
road. 1t is expected that the work Will
begin about May LIST. When it is done,
the alley back of the Saulpaugh hotel will
be filed in to the track, making road
way of good width.
The company is also laying several
blocks of sidetrack south of Cummings
addition, to be used for the passenger
service, and extending between the
curves of the main track. The block OF
sidetrack on Pike street will then be
torn up and removed. This will be a
benefit to the property adjoin-
ing, at least the owners think
so. The new track will be
completed in couple of weeks. There
are other improvements which may be
made later. The company desires to
accommodate the city as much as posi-
ble and also to keep up its facilities for
handling its growing traffic.
