DISTRICT COURT.

The trial of the suit of Louis Eb-
erhart VS.. ChaS. n. Nelson, to recov-
er $10,0 900 damages for breach of con-
tract, was completed Monday forenoon
and taken under advisement by the
court. The. plaintiff had lost the copy
Of the alleged contract upon which
he based the suit, and he therefore
depended largely upon the three let
tiers which he put in as evidence. Mr..
Nelson denied that any contract as
alleged had been entered into by him.
The order to show cause why an in
junction should not be granted re-
straining L. G.. NJ. Fletcher from
blockading Minnesota street was ar
gued this forenoon by attorney Rock
wood for Mr.. Fletcher, and W. r.
Geddes for VIM. Boode. This case
was also taken under consideration.
The suit Of Mrs. Redner VS. Fon Red
ner, an application for divorce and
alimony, was tried and a num-
Der of witnesses were examined. The
suit is based on the ground of cruel
and inhuman treatment and drunken
ness. A child about five years of age
is bone of contention, and more in
terest attaches to its possession than
anything else connected with the
case. The defense withdrew it's an
swer and allowed the prosecution to
take judgment, and the divorce was
granted. AlimOny was not secured
by Mrs. Redner, who secured the child
for the time being.

INTERVIEW WITH GiEFER.

Giefer was seen in the jail Friday af-
ternoOn by FREE PRESS reporter
and asked whether he had anything
to say, now that all was over. He
said he would like to thank Judge
Severance for committing his sem
tence, and his lawyers for their faith
full work. and the Sheriff and Deputy
for their kindness, and particularly
Mrs. Bowen, whom he praised as be-
ing good and thoughtful to the pris-
oners, and he hoped she would always
remain in her present position. He
had plenty to eat in the Jail and had
no complaints.
He said that he was born in Prus-
STA and is % years Of age. In 1888 he
came to America, going first to Buff
falo, then to Chicago. then to Jack
son, Mimi, where he was married
March 3, 1891. He afterwards came
to this city and worked in John
sons meat market, in John Schweit-
zer's slaughter house, in the oil mill,
and in Willard & Polchow's brick
yard.
Spe akiDg of the crime which he
committed, he said that he is
very sorry that he did it and wishes
that Roway were alive and he him
self dead. He was particularly sorry
for Roway's family. The row would
not have occurred, he said, had not
Roway invited him to drink in a
saloon. He was not used to drink and
four or five glasses made him crazy
He had drunk in the saloon with
Roway from 20 to 25 glasses of beer, he
was sure, and he had become sick
after leaving.
He declared that he did not take
the money to send to his wife, and
that he could have gotten all the
money that he wanted from a cousin.
He did not intend to rob Roway until
his pocket book fell out Of his pocket
after he was knocked down. He was
provoked by Roway and struck him
but did not think he had killed him
He said that he would be glad to
get where he could work again, and
would live in hopes of getting out Of
prison. He wanted to say good bye
to his friends and everybody else. If
he got out he would not again live
with his wife as she had lately been
playing tricks ON him.

OBITUARY..

ROGERs-Sister Rogers, of James
vile, MINI, departed this life on
Jan. 10. after suffering from consump-
tion for many years. Death was
fastened by an attack Of ''la grippe, y
from which she rallied for time. In
October last she was again stricken
down, and resigning herself to the care
of the "Blessed Master" entered her
eternal abode, calmly and peacefully,
leaving a husband and five children to
mourn her absence. Deceased was the

member Of the Minnesota Conference.
She was born Sept. 5, 1856, at South

joined the Methodist Episcopal church
at the age Of twelve, and has been
faithful in her attendance in class and
prayer meetings, where her voice en-
couraged many babes in Christ.

Adolph Peterson, a patient at the
81. Peter Asylum, escaped Friday.
We hear he arrived in this place Sat-

into town by the Paul boys and given
into the hands of Constable B. Fl.
Lane. The authorities at St. Peter
were wired and came on No 4 paSSen-

said that Peterson stayed in a barn

had been dry it would ha, e been hard
to save, as we'll as the northwest por-

A LINE of side-wheel steamers have
been planned for service upon the Yu-
kon river. in Alaska, and the first
vessel of the fleet is now being built.
They will RIM 1900 miles up this
great Alaskan river. The resources
and commercial possibilities of Alaska
have been, and probably are now less
understood, than those of any other
section of the Union, but they are
already being developed, and are prov
ing a rich field for the investor.
| The scenic and other natural attrac-
tions there draw an increasing stream
of travel every summer, and this is
having the effect of educating the
public to the great opportunities
which are there presented.

TWO SERIOUS ! FIRES.
Lake Crystal and Eagle Lake Visited
One Losing an Elevator and
the Other Depot.

MarSton & LarsOn's grain elevator
at Lake Crystal took fire Sunday night
and burned to the ground. The fire
started at 9:l5 o'clock, and is thought
to have originated from fire which
was kept burning over Sunday to keep
the gasoline engine, used in the ele-
yator, from freezing.
The fire company turned out but
could do but little against the strong
wind.
Besides the building, 5000 bushels
Of wheat contained in it weredestroy-
ed. The building was worth about
$1,000, and the wheat trifie more.
The building and wheat were insured
for S., 800.
1t is probable that MarSton & Lar
son, who are the proprietors of the
Lake Crystal bank, will rebuild.
DEPOT BURNED.
Eagle Lake was visited by fire
Sunday morning, destroying the
depot 1t is thought that the fire
started from a detective chimney.
The loss is not definitely known.
Since writing the above We are in
formed by an Eagle Lake resident
that the depot burned at about $50
o'clock Sunday morning. 1t is thought
that the fire originated from match
or cigar stub thrown into spittoon
filed with sawdust. The valuable
papers were saved, and only a small
amount Of freight, Of little value, was
burned. The depot was neat, well
built one, and was valued at about
$1,000.

AT last after much denying and
many declarations to the effect that
the Democrats did not intend to pass
any legislation detrimental to our in
dustrial system, the GlO6e says the
only safe line to follow is a law that
will end in free trade pure and simple,
That is what the Democratic platform
called for, and it is refreshing to see
the Democratic papers stop beating
around the bush, and come out and
frankly admit, that absolute free
trade is what they are after.
