James Flynn, VIM. Brown and &c :.
Reed received their sentences this
morning, for stealing pants from the
store of Nyquist s& Iverson. The two
former received one year and six
months in Saltwater each, and the lat
ter. who is but twenty years of age, was
sent TO the State Reformatory at ST.
Cloud.
Flynn gives his age at % years, and
said that his trade was a stove mounter.
Browns age is 81 years, and he has been
farmer. Reed has been fireman in
hotels. All are bright appearing men,
and above the ordinary run of tramps.
In sentencing them Judge Severance
gave them some good advice upon how
to con1uct themselves while in prison.
They have access TO fine library, and
can educate themselves a great deal, if
50 disposed. He gave them short SEN
fences, because he did not believe in in
fleeing long servitude, as man will re-
form in the shorter time if al all. The
most of those whom he had ever SEN
fenced bad reformed and become good
citizens. 4 man whom he had sent up
from Faribault county for eight years
had educated himself In medicine and
is now a practicing physician.

ESOLOUTIONS.
On the LIST day of July, 1890, the Blue Earth
County Bar Association held meeting at the
Office of Pau d Young III the City OF Mankato,
Mr.. s. F. Barney acting as chairman and W E.
Young, secretary. Daniel Buck offered the fol
lowing resolution which was adopted:
This Bar learns with sincere regret of the death
by accidental drowning on the 29th day OF ] une
1890, of the Hon. P. A Foster, a member Of
this Bar. Long an associate with us, we have
learned to love him for his many good and no
BILE qualities, and it is with the deepest sorrow
that we received the sad news of his untimely
death, while he was in the prime and vigor OF
manhood. 1t is, therefore,
RESOLVED, That committee OF three members
of this Bar be appointed by the chairman to
to be spread upon the records of our court at its
next term, and that copy thereof be sent to
the family OF the deceased;
Resolped. further, That as a mark of respect
to our late associate we viii attend his funeral
in a body.
In accordance with this resolution Messrs d.
Buck, w B. Davies and S. F. Barney were ap-
pointed a committee to prepare the memorial.
The committee 70 whom was referred the
above resolutions respectfully report
That the Bar OF Blue Earth County has again

ranks, but never have The dark waters so sud
denly closed over the human form of one of our
associates as in the case of him to whose mem

death came to Penfeld A. Foster by accidental
drowning near where the waters of the Blue
Earth and Minnesota meet. Under the dark
and restless current lies the hidden and never to
be revealed mystery. whether he died in some
faopTN fhal Of iaIs6
Lind, or whether thst friend was the hero of
that fearful moment in trying to save him over
whom we mourn here to-day. But fate and
tide were against them, and the dark waters
swept over these human forms and bafied hui
man efforts.
Mr.. Foster died IN the strength and yigor of
early manhood, aged 80 years. Born among
the rugged hills of Vermont, he came to Mime
sofa in early manhood without money or
friends and for years he endured many prfva
lions and struggles for an education and place
of honor among his fellow men, Bearing life's
burdens in boyhood, he knew how to meet them
i'll more mature manhood. Diligentin his study
of the law and careful in the examination and
preparation of his cases. he had attained high
mark in his profession.
Possessed OF strong convictions he had the
courage to mainta Ii them at all times. Serving
as a member of the legislature of the State of
Minnesota in 1885, he took a prominent part
in the proceedings of that legislature and won

the defendants: VIM. Brown, James
Flynn, George Reed and J. E. Porter.
The State recalled in rebuttal Geo. Reed,
]. W. Fowler, Henry Robel, James Kelly
and John Nyquist.
The State sought to prove that while
one of the defendants stood near the
door of the store to give the alarm if
necessary, one of the other two picked
up two pairs of pants and placed them
over his arm and threw his coat over
them. They were afterwards ar
rested on n. Fifth street, while trying
to dispose of the pants, which Nyqulst
& Iyerson identified as theirs, being of
the same material and being the work
OF the same tailor as those in their
stock. County attorney Smith asked
the one who was selling the pants
whether he had not stated that he was
selling them for the other, two on
commission of fifty cents each. n. E.
Young, attorney Tor the de-
Tense, took umbrage at this question,
claiming that it had been agreed that If
he would allow the three men 10 be
tired together, the county attorney
would not take evidence IN regard to
any confession that any of them might
have made Quite set-to occurred be-
tween the attorneys, but Judge Sever
anee held that such a question did not
show q confession. The prisoner, after
saving that he did not remember max
ing such statement, admitted that ne
did, and said that he was frightened in
to it by q threat of Officer Robel, who
said TO him that he would put his fist
through the man unless he told where
he got the pants.
The defense claimed that they receiv-
ed the property In Iowa, from man
for whom they had worked. They
claimed that they had never seen Ny
quist and Iyerson's store and did not
know where it was.
The case was argued this forenoon
and given to the jury.
The jury, after being out half an hour,
returned verdict of guilty in the case
Of all three men. They viii be sen
fenced tomorrow morning.
