FIVE months to finish the job Work has
already been commenced, and there are
about a score of men already employed in
this portion Of the park. The heavy work
of excavation is being performed by
steam dredger. which scoops out the soil
with circular motion and throws it on
slide.
The water for the lake will be pumped up
In to the reservoir, then let into the lake by
eonduits and thence drawn off for the pur-
poses OF the park, so as to insure thor
ough circulation. which has hitherto been
lacking. As the new lake will b. 800 feet

MRS. DARIAS STEWART DEAD.

We received the news Monday
of the death of Mrs. Darias Stewart,
nee Miss Ella Minor, who died yes
terday at Fargo, n. d.
Deceased was the daughter of Mrs.
M. e. Minor and was about "a years OF
age. She grew to womanhood in this
city and for time taught in the
public schools. The funeral took
place Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock
at the residence of her mother, cor
ner of Byron and State streets. The
interment will take place at Glen
wood cemetery.
The sudden death of Mrs. Stewart
is terrible blow to the husband, who
is left with babe three weeks old.
The loss of dear companion is hard
in any event, but doubly sorrowful
is it when a little one is left mother
less to do battle with cold world,
even under therloving protection of a
devoted father. In their sorrow the
father and family have the deepest
sympathy of the entire county.

A MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.

One of the most miraculous escapes
from death chronicled in a great
while, is that of team of horses
owned by a farmer, who left them
standing on Carroll street Thursday
afternoon.
The animals took fright and after
rushing at mad pace up one street
and down another they started for
the trestle of the Omaha railroad,
which spans the Minnesota river.
Like horses rushing into battle they
started at break neck speed across
the trestle, which is about 60 feet
high, and did not stop until they had
gone about 100 feet. Several men Sc
cured planks and laid them on the
ties so that the fiery beasts could be
Backed off without falling and injur-
ing themselves.
The horses are little worse for
their run, but no bones were broken.
When they broke themselves loose
from the wagon at the start they up
set the vehicle and quarter of beef
contained therein. The meat was
put into the wagon by several ladies
while the proprietor was looking after
his horses.

DEATH CALLED HER AWAY.

After a sickness that extended over
period of about three years, Miss
Louise Coffin, diedSunday night at. the
home of her parents on the corner of
Broad and Liberty streets, of con-
sumption. AS the end drew near she
seemed to realize her position and
while the family and Mr.. and Mrs.
John n. Hall surrounded the bedside,
her soul took it's flight and she was at
rest.
The deceased was about 10 years of
age, and was bright, lovable young
woman. She attended the high school
for time, but on account of i'll health
was compelled to give up her studies
and take southern trip, which did
not seem to do her much good.
In her death the community loses
an intelligent young lady and sweet,
sympathizing friend.

Editor Free Press:
Would you allow me few lines in
reply to charges in your issue Of Dec.
4, 1891, under the head of 'Fish
Catching" wherein you say that the
constable or justice who fails to pros
ecute yiolators of the said fish law,
shall be brought before the District
Court and stripped of his Office. Now,
as Justice of the peace in and for
Blue Earth county, Mimi, | must say
that the purported fish law has not
been issued to any peace officers IN
these parts, and until they are the
violators will pursue their vocations
unpunished. have chap. TX, III. Is.
No. 966, General Laws 1891. Section
IS says: mo person shall catch, kill
or take by any means, continuance or
device whatever, any fish from any of
the lakes, ponds, rivers or streams in
any of the counties of this state, save
only between the first day Of May and
the first day of March, and then only
by taking the same by hook and line
or spear.''
Section /, under the head of Fish
Catching" wherein the said act cites
the first day of December to the first
day Of April each and any year, there
seems to be wide difference of opin-
ion between general law and spe-
cial or local law.
Will some one posted in the mat.
ter give me instructions and copy of
the special and local laws of 1891, and
1 will stop the fishing on the afore-
said lake, or fill the county jail with
yiolators. j. X. KNAPP,
