THE MARSHAL HURT.
A Serious ARRAY at Mad
iSOn Lake.
Rumored Two Saloon r1en Beat the
Town Policeman Nearly to Death
Feared His Skull is Fractured-He
Enforced the Law.

Meager reports of fight at Madi-
son Lake last evening reached this
city today, and additional particulars
are awaited with interest.
1t appears that Terrence McGraw
runs a saloon in the town and his
brother Pat is his bartender. For
some time the men have borne a bad
feeling toward the marshal because
he has ordered them to keep their
joint closed on Sunday and to stop the
practice of selling liquor to minors.
Weary of useless expostulation, the
marshal filed a complaint against
them on the charge of selling liquor
to minors and the case was set for
hearing today.
1t is alleged that the McGraWs
met the officer on the street
last evening and proceeded to
incapacitate him from appearance
at their trial. He was thrown down,
his head pounded upon the frozen
ground, and it is stated that one OF
the men stamped upon his head with
his feet, and according to reports to-
day it is feared the marshal's skull has
been fractured.
City Attorney Young, who has been
retained with his partner A. r. Pau
as corporation attorneys, went to
Lake Madison this morning and the
McGraws and a man named Pat.
Baynes are reported to be under
arrest.

THE Blue Earth City Post in COM
menting upon the movement here to
secure an enlargement of the new post
Office says that a hundred thousand
dollars was appropriated, "but that
in making the plans the architect
deemed a smaller building sufficient
for the needs Of the business likely to
be transacted there. The citizens
were naturally dissatisfied and have
protested against the action of the
department, and as result are likely
to have building erected to fit the
size OfIthe appropriation rather than
the requirements of the service. y
This is simply another illustration of
man writing about something he
knows little or nothing about. Now
the simple fact of the matter is the
movement to secure the enlargement
was not started for the purpose of Sc
curing all of that appropriation, but
to secure ample room for the transac-
tion of the business of the post office.
The architect whom the Post paints
in imagination as knowing SO much
about the needs of the town, knew
nothing about the needs of the city
and consequently gave us building,
which if finished as started, would
give the office cramped quarters to
start with, to say nothing of the
future. Our Blue Earth City contem-
porary should remember that Manka-
to is growing town, and that the
post office is being built for several
generations and not for the passing
day. Had local architect been
given the job of drawing the plans,
as should be done in such cases, we
believe that building commensurate
with the needs of the city for years
to come could have been provided for
and left handsome margin to cover
back into the treasury. 1t is accom-
modations in keeping with it's needs
that Mankato is after, and not the
balance of the appropriation, and our
neighbor down the line would make
just such kick under such circum-
stances and be justified in doing it.
