ALARGE HALL rs NEEDED.

The jam and crush Of people at the
Pres byterian church. Sunday night,
on the OCCASION OF the Christian En-
deavor convention is but another argu.
ment In favor OF buildiag a large audi.
torium, on the order and plan of Chau-
tauqua halls. A commodious public
hall commensurate to the size OF the
!, city is an imperative necessity Al
though the city possesses an opera
house Of large seating capacity, II is
rot suited FOR convention purposes
There are IN this city at least e.OOC
people who are always glad TO attend
special attractions or religious meet
ings. who at present remain at home
rather than be thrust into swelter-
ing mass OF humanity, all scrambling
for undesirable seats. A hall with
two or three thousand seating capacity
would do avay with this discom fort
and afford all an opportunity TO secure
comfortable seats during any eonven-
tion, political or religious. Here Is an
excellent opportunity for men with
money TO make paylag investment
An auditorium could be built with II
small outlay and would prove Of ip'
estsmable benefit to the capital city.

HARRY WALRAVEN.
The Jury i'm the Murder Trial at
MankatO Returns q Verdict in Ten
Minutes-Layne Will Probably BE
Released.

Mankato, Mimi, June 7.-Shortly after
u o'clock yesterday the news began to
spread that the jury had returned a YER
dict of acquittal in the murder trial of
William Conway. Great excitement pre-
vailed, although those familiar with the
evidence given looked for the above YER
dict.
Judge Severance charged the jury in a
fair and impartial manner, and told them
they would be justified in ignoring
Employs testimony.
The jury retired just before noon. and
in ten minutes sent word they had
reached an agreement.
The prisoner was brought in and re-
ceived the joyful news in the same com
posed manner which he has born through
the long and weary trial. The court at
nee discharged the prisoner, who has
been in Jail nine months, lacking seven
days, and by invitation he dined with
Sheriff Glynn in the private dining room.
He will return to his wife and little ones
at Cherokee, Iowa.
The trial has cost Blue Earth county
between $1,000 and $4,000, and was the
ls1gest ever held in this court. Hughes
Bros. and Lorin Gray. who defended
Conway, are receiving many congratul3-
tions. John F.. I.ayne's trial was to
have followed Conway's, he being joint
ly charged with the same crime, but it is
believed he will be disch; rged on account
of lack of evidence. 1t is understood
that Attorney General Childs will recon-
mend this, as the same evidence would
be- used in both cases.
The murder of Harry M. Walraven
still remains a mystery.

Findings In the Recent Celebrated
Nancy Court Martial Trial.

Findings in the Recent Celebrated
Nancy Court Martial Trial.
st. Paul, June THE findings Of the
recent court martial that tried Lieut..
Nancy at Fort Smelling have leaked out.
Nancy was tried on two counts, the
first being the murder Of Capt. Hedberg
and the second embracing a violation of
the articles of war in sending the letter
and the occurrences in connection there
with. On the first count the finding was
an acquittal, which was the general view
of those who were familiar with the
testimony. 1t was clearly shown that
the shooting was done in self defense,
and at the same. time the court was
doubtless Influenced by the fact that
Nancy had been readily acquitted by the
civil court at Chicago.
The second specification kept the
court martial in a discussion all the
time it was making it's verdict. There
was no doubt of the sending of the lett ~,
hut at the same time it was a fact that
it never reached Capt. Hedberg, and
the preponderence of evidence was that
Nancy had withdrawn it. He admitted
he had been hasty in writing it and had
acted under pro~vocation.
The finding was therefore guilty of
thu. second specification and The SEN
teIce was suspension of rank for one
year and forfeit of cne-half of his pay
for the same time. But the court was
in pressed with the belief that while
technically guilty Lieut.. Nancy would
suffer unjustly if the sentence was car
ried out: it thel efore added a clause to
the finding recommending the accused
to the clemency of the president or other

and asked for a whisky. He was

his surprise the bartender placed a
small Whisk broom by the side of the
bottle. OF course he was puzzled, but
be poured out his drink and drank it
slowly, unwilling to profess ignorance
in the ways of the W West and
thinking that some person might come
to his rescue. The door opened and he
saw a man who saved him. A big,
bury fellow, bristling with revolvers
and bowie knives, stepped in the door
and, going I'D to the bar. ordered a
whisky in a voice that seemed to come
from somewhere below the cellar. A
bottle and glass were passed to him
and. as before, a whisk broom was
added to the lay out. The tenderfoot
watched the man carefully. He poured
u a good-sized glassful, then, after
gulping 1t down, quietly picked up the
whisk broom and, going, over to a
corner OF the room, brushed away the
sand from a portion of the floor. He
