FATHER PRIOR HURT
Attempts to Board a Nov
ing Train.
Slipped and Fell, and He Is Dragged
by the Train Fully Twenty ROds==
A Finger Cut off and Two Others
Badly Injured.

Rev. Father Prior, of this city, met
with "a bad accident at Mapleton
Wednesday morning.
1t appears that he was attempting
to board a moving train for this city,
and he must have been on the side
opposite the depot, for nobody re-
members having seen him.
He hung to the rail of the car and
was dragged for twenty rods or more,
and when picked up the index tnger
of his right hand was gone and the
two fingers adjoining so badly crushed
that it is feared they will have to be
amputated.
He was considerably bruised about
the body and his clothing showed the
effects of his narrow escape. 1t is
also said he came within a hairs
breadth of falling between the coach
es.
Father Prior was picked up and
taken in charge by friends. 1t is re-
ported that he will arrive on this
evenings Milwaukee train.

actual experience can comprehend the
details of such work so unique and
voluminous as this will be, or it's cost
and the care and pains necessary to
bring it to completion. We have set
our ideal for this work high and we
shall strive to attain as near to per-
lection as possible under existing cir
cumstances, which happily for Blue
Earth county people, is much more
favorable than in many portions Of
the state.
Up to date we cannot speak too
highly of the courteous manner in
which we have been received by
county, city, township and village
officers and individuals in all parts Of
the county. We expect to make a
book and sell it on it's merits for the
sum of $40. No canvass for the sale
of the book will be made until next
summer or fall. With purposes Of
the highest utility Of the work always
in mind, | am,

EDITOR FREE PRESS: County Sur

formed were slightly in advance of
the knowledge possessed by your
selves and Mr.. Haynes to decide that
the work of preparing was rapidly
tiOn would soon commence. / beg
leave to state that for month sew
eral men have been at work, and vet
Months of continuous and hard labor
are yet before us until the prepara-
tiOn of data is completed. The men
employed in this work will not be
from Lake Crystal alone, but from all
portions of the county, and Mankato
men will have large share of the
work to perform in due time. No
trouble or expense will be spared to
make the geographical, historical,
statistical, pictorial and biographical
parts OF the book as accurate as men
of the highest ability and experience
residing in Blue Earth county can
make it. The work of compiling will
be performed by residents of the
county, and no outside persons will be
employed. The engraving, litho-
graphing, photographing, printing and
binding, ETC., will be done principally
by the Swinburne Printing company,
of Minneapolis, so the money chang
ing hands on this job will be kept
within the state. The excellent quail
ity of work done by this firm during
the past few years assures me that
they will not slight the job for Blue

A POPULAR MOVE.

The legislature has started out with
a good record in the line of economy,
and it is to be hoped it will keep it up
to the closing hour. The senate made
a most commendable move when it
fixed the salaries of it's employees at
So per day. Senator Yale, of Winona,
is reported as making a statement
which echoes prevailing sentiment
Of the people everywhere, that in
view of the losses suffered by the
people from the depression, the low
price of products, ETC., and the fact
that mechanics in the cities were
glad to get work at 81 to So per day,
that it was not in keeping for the
state to pay eXOrbitant salaries for
the work done. There will doubtless
be no trouble to find plenty who will
fill the positions and fill them well at
the price which the senate fixed, and
the interest of the taxpayer is one
that should receive little regard.
Senator Day is said to be somewhat
skeptical as to the lasting qualities of
this streak of economy, and thinks
that within thirty days the old figures
will be restored. Does this mean that
he will help restore them? They can
not be restored unless some move is
made to that effect, and the senator
will find that such a move will be
very unpopular among the people
through the state. Our legislators
can add much to their popularity this
winter by practicing the closest econ
omy with the peoples money. This
does not mean penuriousness, nor
that any interests Of the state should
suffer, but it means that every dollar
which can be cut off without injury
to good service should be retained in
the state treasury.

REMEMBERED HIM.
Mr.. Chasseur Leaves e. G. Warner
a Handsome Sum.

G. E. Warner, of Billings, Mont,
son of DR.. Warner, of this city, ar
rived in town yesterday, and in look
ing over his papers discovered a will
made out in 1886, by Mr.. Chessner,
the old gentleman who died in this
city last week
Mr.. Chasseur and Mr.. Warner were
for some years business associates in
Montana and in Denver, and became
good friends. The former was getting
well along in years, however, and in
1886 made out will bequeathing his
partner one-third of his estate, valued
at $4,000, Mr.. Warner supposed that
the old gent leman made out another
will four years ago, as he had made
such a remark; but L. A. Under, the
administrator, has seen no such docu-
ment, and it is believed the will of 'S6
will stand. The balance of the prop
erty was left to two sisters of Mr..
Chasseur, one of whom has since died.
The property consists of money and

The testimony of Detective Bank

The testimony of Detective Bank
er, in the Saulpaugh case, was to the
effect that VIM. Nagel, and not VIM.
Magin, of Duluth, was with him at
II time of his visit to Alice Booths
place in st. Paul as given in these
columns. In the hurry of the i'm
mense work of publishing the evidence
in that case the name was overlooked
in the scores of proofs, and very
natural error incident to publishing
daily newspaper which gives the news
was there committed. This is printed
in simple justice to Mr.. Magin.

WILL 1T NEVER END?
Another Instaliment of the Stein
Sauipaugh Case.

1t appears that the Stein-Saulpaugh
case is still echoing through the woods
around Duluth, for this morning the
FREE PRESS received a letter from
William b. Magin, who it appears, has
an idea that the evidence Of Detect
i've Banker, of St. Paul. was manu-
featured for the occasion. Mr.. Bank
er's testimony, as well as that of all
the witnesses, was printed by the
newspapers as it was given, and not
altered or distorted in any way, and
the court stenographer now has the
record of it. The newspapers do not
make the eyidence-they simply
print it, and Mr.. Magin, in asking a
retraction of what is now court
record, is demanding the impossible,
and Detective Banker and the County
of Blue Earth, MINI, are the ones to
whom he must look for correction.
The testimony to which he refers is
as follows:
G. E. Banker stated that he lived in
St. Paul since 1882. 81 knew Alice
Booth in 1922. In fall 1891, l
roomed at Tenth and ST. Peter streets
with man named William Magin. I
was then on the night beat, and on
Thanksgiving night l came to our
room about 3 o'clock and found the
plaintiff and Magin occupying it. [
saw her in Murphy'S saloon on Tenth
and St. Peter streets at 4 o'clock in
the morning Of March 18th, 1892, with
a hack driver. She was drunk, and L
took her to her rooms at the Ethiopia
and put her to bed. She frequented
Murphy & Myers saloon and other
low places"
Accompanying this extract was the
following letter:

closed article which appeared in your

THE governor of Kentucky is mad

not be needed. The Ohio judge did
