DECLINE ON A TECHNICALLY.

The meeting of the lawyers base
ball club held at w. E. Young's law
office last evening, was called to order
by President Young.
J. A. Flittie, secretary, then read
challenge of the Mankato law students
to friendly game of base ball with
the lawyers base ball club, and they
all with one accord began to make
excuses.
Lawyer Young said, my wife is alb
sent from town, and promised her
l would keep out of danger while she
was away.
Lawyer Flittie said, l have just
purchased an elegant edition on
Shakespeare which am delightfully."-
perusing, and have no time for base
ball.
Lawyer Schmitt said, l have just
married a wife, pray have me excused.
Lawyer Benedict said, my whole
time is occupied in preparing for trial
the Amboy liquor cases, and cannot
come.
Lawyer Plymat said, l am too busy
now studying my Chambers encyclo-
pedia, as 1 may be called on for a
speech at any time.
Lawyer Ogle said, with my increas-
ing rotundity the distances between
bases is too great for my time.
Lawyer Davies said, 1 have just re-
turned from camping out at Lake
Francis, and l am too tired yet.
Lawyer Daley said, my professional
reputation which l gained at
Worthington will not allow me to
jeopardize it now.
Lawyer Longinus Smith said, if you
cannot win law suit on it's merits,
the better way is to interpose techni-
calities. Candor compels me to say
that the law students will wipe the
ground with US; but we can get out of
the dilemma by claiming that the
challenge was not directed to us when
we are the second base ball nine, but
was intended for the first base ball
nine of which A. R. Pau is president.
I move, therefore, the adoption of the
following resolution:
"ResoLUed, That as the challenge was
not directed to US, that we take no
notice of it,"
This may be a grand bluff, but it
will save our professional reputation,
which resolution was unanimously
adopted.
Lawyer Geddes moved that the fol-
lowing be the motto of our club:
"We will fight until we run, and we
will run until we die"
Meeting then adjourned.
The rabOve is all l could hear as l
glued my ear to the key-hole of the
locked door. LISTENER.

selves with glory this week in getting
out neat illustrated four-paged, four

what they saw in the city, short de-
scriptions of the FREE PRESS and Re-
vieoo and their respective homes, a
writeup of the Normal school and the
new blocks in process of erection, TO-
gether with couple of columns
of interesting short notes about
the city. Taken all together it
is most creditable little sheet and
reflects much credit upon Messrs.
Brown & Hotaling and will undoubt
eddy attract much attention among
all interested in our city.

WHO is SHE?
A Curious Story, Waited From Min
neapolis.

Judge Holt, of Minneapolis, told
Tribune reporter Thursday of a case
which came to his attention and to
that of the Woman's Rescue League
during the past few days. A young
woman, pretty, robust and appearing
like modest country girl, called to
see him. She was nothing more than
a girl. She told her story, which was
that she had been an inmate of a
questionable house on First street
south for few weeks.
"Her story was this" said Judge
Holt, "she had become disguised at
the life she asliving. She had been
reared in excellent circles and her
parents, residing in Mankato, knew
nothing of her disgrace. The story of
her fall was the old one, seduction,
disgrace, desertion. The young
woman claimed that she informed
the proprietress of the resort of her
intention to leave, and was informed
by the latter that she was in debt to
the house to the paltry sum of $3.50,
and that she could not leave until
this was paid. On being asked where
the debt came in, the girl was inform
ed that she had been absent from the
house one evening without permits
sion, wherefore she was fined the sum
named. According to the story the
girl told she demonstrated, but was
refused her trunk until the money
was paid"
An officer was unable to secure the
trunk, as the proprietress of the house
said that the girls story was not
straight. Much interest is being
taken in the case, and situation has
been secured for the girl.

DAVID CARPENTER DEAD.
He passed Away Without Returning
to Consciousness.

David Carpenter, whose dangerous
condition from a stroke of appoplexy
the FREE PRESS mentioned Thursday,
died at ten minutes before two o'clock
Friday. Ever since sustain
ing the stroke Wednesday night he
was unconscious and in a comatose
condition, with his entire left side
completely paralyzed. 1t was not
thought that he could recover, and
his death today was no surprise al
though sincerely regretted by all who
knew him.
Mr.. Carpenter was &c years of age
and an old resident of this county,
having conducted a farm in Vernon
township for many years previous to
his removal to this city two or three
years ago. He was always held in
high esteem by his large number of
acquaintances. A wife and three
sons and two daughters survive him,
as we'll as three brothers.

THE BOND CONTRACT.
w. j. Hayes s Sons Waive the Gold
Clause.

The city recorder received a tele-
gram today from W. J. Hayes & Sons,
of Cleveland, Ohio, in reply to an in
quiry, stating that they would take
the electric light bonds at $3.50 pre-
MUM, and would waive the clause re-
quiring that they be paid principal
and interest in gold. A letter has
been directed to them asking when
they will pay the money, as it is un-
derstood that they are Simply firm
of brokers. If they will pay the
money within a reasonable time, they
will probably get the bonds.
Aid. Peterson left for Chicago to-
day and will call on both Hayes &
Sons and Gay & Co., and it is expected
that the sale will be closed within
two or three days. Hayes & Sons re-
quire the city to show the legality of
the issue.

BULL BEATS LIo N.
A Wonderful Contest Provided to Pleas
Madrid Spectators.

A Wonderful Contest Provided to Please
Madrid Spectators.
From the Courier des Flats Unis.
The lovers of bull fights in Madrid have
recently been treate TO Il novel spectacle
"A fight between a Senegambi lion and
bull from one of the most famous graz
naderias of CASTLE.
For several days before the sensational
representation great posters were placed
on all the corners of the streets, picturing
the favorite animal of the Spaniards at
the mercy OF the king of the desert. But
this was more than the citizens of Madrid
could stand, and in their fury over the
outrage they tore down the posters and
trampled upon them in bully fashion.
Seeming a good business speculation
the ticket buyers, who form a solid asso-
citation in Madrid, bought up all the places
the immense plaza dc roros and resold
them at an enormous profit.
In the presence of 1900 persons the
magnificent lion Regarde made his debut
IN vast stage specially constructed to
meet the eXigencies of the terrible duel
that was to take place. Then the toril on
wheels. containing the bull Caminero, was
drawn in. The bull was evidently out of
temper, for he roared furiously at the
spectators. But he was soon placed in
the presence of his adversary. At this
moment the entire plaza became silent as
tomb-something rare, indeed, in Spain.
The spectators, holding their breath,
watched for the first onslaught. As If
measuring their distance, the two ami
male eyed each other and then sprang
forward. The lion endeavored to fasten
his teeth in the bulls throat, but he re-
ceived terrific butt, which sent him roll
ing back several PAGES. He gathered him.
self together, bounded upon his enemy
and fastened his claws in his side. But
Caminero managed TO shake him off and
ut last tossed him in the air a second
time. Three times more the lion sprang
at the bull and was tossed each time.
The advantage now appeared TO be on
the side of Caminero, and the crowd,
silent up to this moment, gave him a wild
ovation. The lion retired TO his corner
and endeavored to climb to the
top of the cage; but, before he could sue
coed, he was again successfully attacked
by his redoubtable adversary. At last,
when utterly vanquished, with his side
torn open, his shoulder crushed and his
teeth broken, he was taken from the cage,
while this rowd booted and laughed. The
victor was then brought around the arena
in triumph, and he went into the toril un-
der perfect shower of fans, hats and OBJ
jects of all sorts. The enthusiasm was
beyond description.
AS for poor Regarde, he died the next
day in his cage. So now go tell the Span
iards that the lion, and not the bull, Is tho
king of beasts!
