der Wilkin Post 10 G. A. r., l formal
ly transfer to you as the honored rep
resentati5e of our fair city, this gem
which decks it's breast.
at is a tribute from the fraternity
of grand army and the loyalty of a
grand community, to virtues which
lie at the foundation of all just gov
ernments. We are glad to be permit
ted to place it now in your hands, for
the Grand Army of the Republic can
never renew it's memberships and our
comrades are swiftly passing in re-
view.
1--WE humbly pray that this munich
pality may endure, while the grass
grows and the water runs, and we
trust that through her fostering care,
the words now carved in stone may
become vitalized. and the principles
of patriotism, bravery and liberty be
instilled into the hearts of succeeding
generations of her citizens until in
fulness of time, we all shall come to
be citizens of city whose builder and
ruler is God"
Mayor Weaver replied that he had
the pleasure, on behalf OF the city and
asits representative, to acceptithe beau
tiful fountain, and he rendered in re-
turn therefor the grateful acknow-
Judgement of the citizens. The foun-
tain would be bond existing between
the city and Wilkin Post, and he
promised that the city would preserve
iG.
DIR. e. J. Davis made some appro-
pirate closing remarks.
The band played a piece and the
audience sang America" while the
water was turned on, and this closed
the exercises.
The fountain is most beautiful
one. 1t rises from stone basin and
represents a soldier at parade rest"
looking toward the setting sun. He
wears regulation uniform overcoat.
He stands on a wide circular pedestal,
beautifully embossed, which rises out
of the water of the basin. The stature
and pedestal are both bronze and fine
artistic work. The fountain cost over
$1,000 and is magnificent gift to the
city. The water shoots up from the
edge of the pedestal four feet or more
and also shoots out of the mouths
around the rim of the pedestal, much
of the water falling into the basin be-
meath. The fountain is supplied with
city water and will play continually.
A great deal of credit is due to the
monument committee of Wilkin Post,
w. w. P. Mcconnell e. NJ. Pope, DR..
E. J. Davis, S. w. Burgess, and Judge
M. j. Severance. They worked long,
hard and faithfully and their efforts
are crowned and rewarded with COM
plete success.

THE JURY DISAGREED.

The case of J. e. Burke VS.. the City
of Mankato and Mccall & Mahouey
was given to the jury Thursday after
uoon at about supper time. The
court charged the jury not to flnl
verdict against Mccall & Mahoney in
any event, as the city alone was liable
in this case, if anyone was. The ar
gumentS were made by w. E. Young
for the defense and Lorin Cray for the
plaintiff. After being out all night,
the jury found itself unable to agree
and when court opened this morning
it so reported, and as there was no
prospect of an agreement it was dis
charged. 1t is understood that the
jury stood four for the city and eight
in favor of awarding damages. The
case will probably not be tried again
at the present term.
The trial of the suit of Carl J. Pet
erson VS.. p. T. Shepard was taken up
Friday morning.A number of witness

the part of the defense. The suit is
brought TO recover $500 damages to in
juries which Mr.. Peterson claims to
have received from fall due to run
ming over stone which was in the road
at MIR. Shepard's corner. Three fin
gers were injured. The defense claims
