WIN. BlERBAUERa DEAD.
This Able and Respected Citizen
Drops off Rather Suddenly
Thursday forming.

Can't. VIM. Bierbauer died at l2:2o
O'Clock Thursday morning, rather I'M
expectedly, although he had been SICK
for some time. His death was due to
dropsy, and although this disease had
gradually undermined his strong
constitution, yet he had not been
confined to his bed. He was on
couch the most of Tuesday, but SEEM
ed better on Wednesday and inform
ed his attending physician, DR.. Dorm
berg. that he couldn't complain of his
condition and he had no pain. His
daughter, Miss Addie, sat up with him
Wednesday night and at midnight
gave him his accustomed medicine. A
few moments later she heard a
strange noise in his room and aroused
the family, who were gathered ABOUT
his bed when he died. The end came
peacefully and apparently without
pain.
Mr.. Bierbauer was born upon the
Rhine river in Germany and would
have been IS years of age had he liv-
ed until next February. He took part
in the famous revolution of 184S, and
wit tn his brother. Jacob, and thous-
ands OF others of the best people of
Germany was obliged to seek safety
in flight. They went first to SwlJzer-
land and finally came to America. He
located in New York and remained
there until 1856, when he came
to Mankato, being one OF
the pioneers. In 1858 he started the
brewery that bears his name and that
has continued to grow until it is now
one of the largest in this section. He
has continued steadily at this business
assisted by his sons.
In 1862, Mr.. Bierbauer received the
commission of captain in the regular
army, and went to Fort Smelling to
organize company. He was called
back by the Indian outbreak and mas
sacre, and did good service in the
campaign against the savages that fol
lowed. The deceased was one Of the
earliest members of the Liedertafel
Singing Society. During the past ten
years he has been very seldom seen on
our streets, spending his time at the
brewery and his house near by. He
leaves a widow and six children, AL
bert G Bruno, Rudolph, William,
Addie and Ella. The second named
is a physician and resides in Brooklyn,
and has been telegraphed to.
Mr.. Bierbauer has always been one
of the most prominent figures in this
city, not only on account of This large
business interests, but his intelli-
gence and generosity. He enjoyed a
wide acquaintance and the news of
his death created general sorrow. He
was broad minded man and believed
in Mankato. He raised a family that
is highly esteemed, and accumulated
considerable property.
The funeral will tookrplace from
the house at two O'Clock Sunday after
noon.

MCNULTY'S FATE.
Fourth Death Sentence
Imposed.
Unless Governor Markham lnterferes
McNuIty Will Die Before the
Year Is Out.

Once more the sentence of death has
been passed upon John McNulty, and
unless Governor Markham sees fit to inter-
fere McNulty will suffer the extreme PEN
atty of the law on December %.
Three times has McNulty had the ques-
tionable satisfaction of watching the gal
lows in process of erection for his accom-
mediation. and three times has the struc-
ture been pulled down, owing 10 the
untiring efforts of the unfortunate mans
counsel, Carroll Cook. to effect reprieve.
The case was taken through many stages,
until it finally reached the Supreme Court
of the United States. but every decision
has been adverse to McNulty, and the final
appeal having been rejected it only re-
NAMED for Judge d. j. Murphy to return
from bis vacation TO once more pass the
dread sentence OF death.
The courtroom was packed with an i'm
mense throng Yesterday morning. while
McNulty sat quietly beside his counsel.
apparently as uncOncerned as any specta-
tor present. He was quietly but tastefully
attired, and although his face wore an
expression of utter hopelessness rather
than of indifference he bore his fate with
no sign of fear.
When the case was called Carroll Cook
presented some legal objections to the
passing of sentence. There was nothing
particularly new in his contentious, the
main point being that the court had no
jurisdiction over the case because of the
recent act of the Legislature in regard to
holding executions at San Quentin. Mr..
Cook, however, did not make a long
argument. and when he had concluded
Judge Murphy quietly overruled his 0bjec-
tlOns.
Carroll Cook then pleaded that the exc
eutiOD Of the sentence be set for day as
far distant as permitted by law. at is the
last time" he said. that any legal steps
will be taken in this matter. The Nc
Nulty case will never again appear in a
court of justice. Now our only hope is
executive clemency. There is pending be-
fore the Governor of this State an appeal
for a Communication of the sentence. With
that IN view l make my reQuest."
Judge Murphy then ordered McNulty TO
stand up and receive sentence. The
Judge briefly went over the facts of the
case and the various stages that had been
gone through since James Collins met his
death at the hands of McNulty, over five
years ago. In conclusion Judge Murphy
remanded McNulty to the custody of the
Sheriff, with instructions that the execu-
ton should take place within the limits OF
the County Jail on December 90. Nc
Nulty listened patiently to his sentence
and then resumed his seat, apparently UNI
concerned,
Carroll Cook said yesterday that the
petition which is now before Govern or
Markham has 10000 signatures appended
thereto, while seven OF the jurors who
convicted McNulty have represented to
the Governor that if the evidence con-
tanned in several affidavits had been pre-
scented at the trial they would not have
found so strong verdict as that on which
McNulty has been sentenced.

other suggestion for a representative

A NimbIe Thief Captured in a Jew
eIrV-StOre.

Among those who recently came to this
city from the East to behold the wonders
of the Midwinter Fair was a young man
who calls himself Frank johnson. and
says he is employed at the racetrack as a
rubber. johnson called at G. Wallin's
iewelry-store, liz Montgomery street, yes
terday afternoon and asked to be shown
some rings. A tray of golden circlets was
placed before him, but he said that they
were not just what he wanted and asked
to see some rings that were in the window
The clerk went to the window, and while
his back was turned Johnson clipped"
one of the rings that were on the counter
into his sleeve. The ring was not securely
lodged in the thiePs garment. and when
he lowered his hand it fell upon the floor.
The clerk then seized johnson and turned
him over to policeman. He was booked

gang of "sure-thing" men who recently
arrived from the East.

The Man Who Informed.

The identity OF the man who gave the
information to the Federal authorities in
the ROmulus smuggling case was well es-
tablshed yesterday. when United States
District Judge Morrow made an order
awarding $1,000 to Frederick Schultz, San
Mateo County farmland.
Schultz claims to have got his knowledge
of the c0ntraband drug by letter from a
friend. There were 500 tins of the drug,
and ON the sale it realized $4,000.

area in the Agricultural building is oe-
sired. so it is certain that MERGED has
caught the spirit OF rivalry.
The Southern California people have
reached an understanding regarding their
building. and construction Will very soon
be started in Sunset City. The sum of
S25. 900 will be expended on the structure
AS follows: Los Angeles. S12,125; San
Diego, $685. Santa Barbara. S2250; San
Bernardino, $685.; Orange. S1562 80; Riv-
erside. $3.50; Ventura, S1312 80. Under
this apportionment of the expense Los
Angeles claims 5000 feet of space, San
Bernardino, Santa Barbara and San Diego
1000 feet each and Ventura County 1000
feet.
Concessionaires are not displaying as
much energy in Sunset City as the execu-
tive committee would like TO see. The
Hawaiian people are alone so far in max
ing much progress. Prelmlnarles are
showing now on the Santa Barbara sea-
lion building, and contractors will begin
to-day on the Chinese Dulloing. MOST OF
the Japanese work is being done in mills
downtown, and will only need to be joined
together on the grounds.
The next few days will make a great
difference in the appearance OF the expOsi-
ton grounds. Mr.. Albert, who represents
the Heidelberg Castle Company, will be
here Tuesday, and work on that structure
will be begun at once. The site for the
wild animal exhibit has been definitely
| located. and that building will also spring
up Immediately. In addition to these.
Count Vermont is on his way from Chi
cago with the people who are to superin-
tend the construction Of the oriental con-
cessions, so that it will be busy scene in-
deed in all parts of the grounds within a
