A STRANGER .TOUCHED."

Thomas E. Cahill. of GAINESVILLE,
came to Mankato Wednesday with a
roll of money. Friday he depos-
tied most of it, $45, in the First Ma
tional bank, taking cashier S check
for it. He did this upon the advice
of friend. During his stay in the
city he became acquainted with
Charles Graves and Ben Haggerty,
and visited Zone ors more saloons last
evening. After he had taken several
5lasses of beer and was sitting down
in a chair someone asked to see his
watch. He then discovered that it
was gone and that the chain was
broken. He also aScertained that his
check was gone. He complained to
the police this afternoon and swore
out warrant for Graves arrest,
charging him with stealing the watch,
which was gold filed, hunting case
watch, valued at S25. Cahill could
not remember in what saloon he was
The check turned up at the First
National bank this noon in
the course of business. 1t was
endorsed ED. Cahill" across the
back, and was again endorsed Sch.
Graves" and lower down bore Isadore
Longini's endorsement, and that of
The National Citizens bank. Cohill
claims that he did not endorse the
check, and that his name upon it is a
forgery. His name was written with
lead pencil, and the other endorse
ments were in ink.
Mr.. Longini states that Chas
Graves purchased some goods Of him
last evening and gave the check in
payment, aud received back in change
Sl3 in cash and Mr.. Longini's check
for S15. Mr.. Longlni deposited the
check with the National Citizens
bank.
Cahill went to the First National
bank this morning and stopped pay
ment on check, stating that it had
been stolen from him last night. When
it was presented, the bank refused
to pay it, Cabill was unable
to get his money without supplying
an indemnity bond, which he was
unable to do, and is without funds
He is well built young man
He states that he is positive
that either Graves or Haggerty stole
the watch, but it is not certain which

BIDS ASKED FOR.

The county commissioners yesterday
afternoon decided to accept the plans
of the proposed new jail, as amended
at recent meeting. The vote on
this was unanimous.
The chairman was authorized to
advertise for bids for the
building complete, except the
cell work, bids to be received up
to Jan. 10th, when special meeting
is to be held. 1t was also decided to
advertise for bids for the cell work, to
be received up to Jan. 23rd, when an
other special meeting is to be held
for the purpose.
The board rightly believes that low
er bids can be received at this time
than next spring, when contractors
will haye plenty of other work to oc-
cupy their minds.

DISTRICT COURT.

The trial of the suit of G. & G.
Cooper & Co. Us. T. M. Pugh, John
Edwards, Rowland w. Price and
Thos. L. Jones dragged out it's third
day.
The case of w. D. Merickle and A
j. Merickle VS.. Carl Miller and
August Kupke was settled and dis
missed today. The plaintiffs sued for
S7OO, while The defendants put in
counter claims amounting to 81, 300
In the settlement the plaintiffs re-
ceiyed satisfactory sum.
The grand jury came in this fore
noon and received additional instruc-
lions, The court cautioned them
particularly against considering what
they might hear on the streets, and
to act only upon what was given them
in the shape of evidence in their
room.
1t is understood that the grand
jury devoted the whole of Thursday
to the consideration of the "gay gam
balierS." A number of witnesses are
said to have been examined, includ-
| ing Rev. Mr.. Bergstrom, police
officers, and those who were supposed
to have visited the alleged gambling
dens. The evidence elected is said
not to have been of satisfactory
nature, as il was mostly hearsay. Al
had heard that there were gambling
dens as alleged. The warning which
they had gave them time to skip out
or conceal their paraphernalia, for the
roc ms are today bare and deserted.
Yet it is generally believed that after
the grand jury has been discharged,
things VIII resume their form
er aspect. Although no one
may be indicted at this time,
we understand that Rev Mr.. Bergs-
from has only begun the fight and
that he intends to stand by his posi-
tiOn.
1t is understood that the case of
Layne and Conway and Mike Baker
were under consideration today.

Feeling Over Mr.. Prextou's Nominn.
ton,

The nomination of Mr.. Preston as direct or
of the mint, which was sent to the Senate
yesterday, is liable to excite still more bitter
ness toward the administration among sill
yer men. 1t has been publicly stated by
silver men that the action of Mr. Preston
with relation to the purchase of silver is in
violation of law, and that he should be i'm
peached for it. They regard him as the
most extreme enemy of silver. and one who
has and will always while in that position
do what he can to make existing laws as
unfavorab'e to silver in their opera ton as
possible. 1t is certain that there will be Il
very determined opposition to his conrirma-
ton. and his nomination appears to throw
another element of discord into the Senate.
There is no question about MIR. Prestons
ability and experience. He is regarded
one Of the most capable officers in the
treasury, and, acting director OF the
mint. he has been of great assistance 10
the Secretary. The criticism of him comes
entirely from radical silver men.

ALEXANDRIA.
The Democratic Trouble..

All is fair sailing with the city democracy,
but quite squall is sweeping in from the
county. The city committee, as already
reported in The Star, has agreed that who-
ever receives plurality as nominee of the
city primary for delegate to the legislature
shall be allowed to appoint the twenty dele
gates which are to meet the five delegates
from the county in convention and select a
nominee. To this many county democrats
object They say it gives the county no
show and compels the county to confirm
the action of a plurality of the city demo-
Gratis. They say 1t is like the feast to which
the crane invited the fox, where the food
was served in long-necked bottle so the
crane with his long neck could put his bill
in the bottle and get his fill, while the fox
was compelled to lick whatever flowed on
the edges of the bottle. The county demo-
Gratis want something more than a lick at
the family feast.
The effects, baskets, wire, bags, &C, at
the basket factory at New Alexandria are
advertised for sale by the sheriff of Fairfax
county; and the sheriff has also an attach
ment against the lessee at the hotel at New
Alexandra for goods furnished the hotel by
Mr.. Isaac Eichberg of this city.
The corporation court has heard argument
in the Raub-Otterback case and the court
has reserved its judgment. The suit of
Frey agt. Rogers has been dismissed, all
claims being satisfied. The court at its
opening today took up the case of Spittle

Taken to Pennsylyanfn.

This morning requisition was received
here from Governor Pattison of Pennsyl-
vania for Lee l.. Schwartz, the commercial
traveller, arrested here several days ago on
telegram from the chief of police asking
his arrest for forgery. The requisition
names David p. Roche Of Scranton as the
agent of the state. and is based on the
complaint of Michael Keogh, charging him
as bailee with converting to his a gold
watch and plated chain, valued at $39
stealing and carrying away the same on
August 15
When Schwartz was arrested he was
taken to the LIST precinct station.
On the presentation of the reQuisition to
Justice Cox warrant was issued and
served by the marshal.
The prisoner on being taken before the
justice was delivered into the custody of
Mr.. Roche and left later for Scranton.
