shop, as that was the more badly
burned of the two buildings. Mr..
Harlin states there has been no fire
in the forge for three days, so it could
not have started from that. 1t is
thought that it was either started
from cigarstump or some person
lighting cigar or pipe, or else that
it was of incendiary origin.
The fiIemen complain of outsiders
getting in the way and causing de-
lays. They try to help, but only
cause confusion, and not nearly so
much is accomplished. If the fire.
men are let alone there would be no
trouble. People also get in the way
of the hose wagons, and pay little at
tention to the gongs, and it is feared
that an accident will occur some time
through this carelessness.

He Dresses a Beef in Nine-Seven.
The long anticipated contest be-
tween VIM. Blanco, of Wagon Bros
market, and Jno. Albright, of the
Packing House, took placeFrldayafter-
noon at the latter place, in the pres
ence of nearly hundred butchers
and other spectators. Geo. Schwartz
and Jacob Wagon were time keepers.
At 1926, Blanco attacked a fat beef
and completed it in 1919. Several
bets were made that Albright would
beat him a minute, and he did so, his
time being 9:07. Both were large, fat
cows, and were we'll dressed, the only
errors some cuts in the hides.
Owing to Blanco's cleaver being
mislaid, both have agreed to have the
contest over again at date to be an
nounced.

A BIG REAL ESTATE DEAL.
DIR. Warner Gets the Minneopa
House Corner.

The FREE PRESS came quietly into
possession of a piece of important
news Friday which may lead up to an
improvement of no small size.
The Minneopa House property, pur-
chased some months ago by Messrs.
Mcconnell & Cummins has, if our in
formation is not at fault, been sold to
DR.. Warner of this city, and the pa
pers for the transfer are being made
out this afternoon. What the doctor
purposes doing with the property is
not known at this time, but that it
will be improved at an early date there
can be little doubt. The corner
is one ofsthe finest in the city and to
whatever purpose it may be put will
pay handsome return on the invest
ment.

game at LeSueur Thursday afternoon,
by the following score:
MankatO. ......0 0 l 0 3 3-16

out and the Mankatos piled up the
score thick and fast. The LeSueurs
had good players from st. Paul and

seventy feet to the rear, twenty-five

A very serious obstacle to the pro-
posed removal of the Omaha tracks
and the building of union depot has
arisen, and the entire project is in
danger of falling through. The mat
ter has been brought officially to the
notice of President G. L. Alleman,
of the Commercial Club, and Vice
President W. M. FAIR, of the board of
trade, with the suggestion that a
joint meeting of the two bodies be
held to give the matter attention.
The difficulty is found in the fact
or belief that the title to the levee
property is not clear, John A. Willard
and S. +. Barney claiming an interest
or the entire ownership. These gen.
tlemen will be asked to state their
position, and if they have a claim,
what they expect. This matter must
be settled Immediately.
The road made it's estimates on the
cost of the improvement in MankatO,
on the basis that the right of way for
track and depot purposes across the
leVee would cost nothing, being
granted free by the city. The esti-
mated expense of everything was
$4,000, and the executive COM
mittee of the G. &. n. W. directors is
not authorized to spend cent more
and will not do so, this sum being as
much or more than the directors car
ed to put into this improvement.
Should Willard & Barney desire to
assert claim on the land, then the
cost of right of way for track pur-
poses across these two blocks must be
added to the expense, as well as the
cost of depot grounds there or else
whece. To meet this unexpected in
crease in expenditure, it will be neces-
sary to save somewhere else, and this
will have to be in the cost of the re-
mainder of the right of way or by a
bonus. To bring pressure to bear all
along the line to secure as reasonable
figures as possible, it has been thought
best to secure the cooperation of the
two business organizations of the
city.
Attorney Cray stated, to a FREE
PRESS reporter this forenoon: II
don't know what the outcome will be,
but the appearance is not hopeful.
[ desire that the joint meeting be
held in order that may have an op-
portunity to fully explain the status
of the case to our business men, and
to secure united action. l want the
responsibility for the falling through
of the project placed where it be-
longs, and not upon the shoulders of
the railway company. If there is an
unexpected cost, it must be met by a
corresponding reduction at some
other point. The estimates for the
whole work in this city amount to
1862, 900, and just that amount has
been voted, and not dollar more can
be secured. No allowance was made
for unexpected expenditures"
The matter is most important one
for Mankato and having the improve
ment within our grasp, it would be
an everlasting disgrace to allow it to
slip from our hands. The emergency
calls for united action and an exer-
else of loyalty to the city on the part
of the owners of the property affect
ed. Every step in this matter will be
scrutinized with the closest interest
| by all of our citizens.

INDICTMENTS THREATENED.
Authorities of Texas Manifest Deter
minatiOn to Continue War on
Prize Fighters.
SEVERE PROVISIONS OF new PENAL CODE
Penalty for Conspiracy to Enter An
other State or Territory for Pur-
pose of Committing Felony
Constitutionality of Law
Will Be Tested.

Dallas, Texas, Oct S.-W. K. Wheelock,
secretary of the Florida Athletic club, was
served with papers this morning to ap-
pear before the grand jury at Austin.
Papers are also out for William A. Brady,
manager for James j. Corbett; Martin
Julian, manager for Bob Fitzsimmons,
and presumably for Dan A. Stuart, Joe
Vendig and others, all of whom may be
arrested before night.
The papers are issued on the authority
of article $50 of the Texas penal code,
which provides:
"a conspiracy entered into in this state
for purpose of committing any felony in
any other of the states or territories of
the United States or in any foreign terri
tory, shall be punished in the same man
ner as if the conspiracy 80 entered into
was to commit the offense in this state"
The penalty is confinement in the peni-
tentiary for no less than two nor more
than five years.
Gov. Culberson and Attorney General
Crane have apparently determined on
war to the knife against Stuart. and pro-
pose prosecuting him aud his associates
at Austin on alleged violation of the
anti-prize fight law, which makes prize
fighting felony.
1t looks as If the only way out of the
trouble is to test the new law on the
ground of unconstitutionality.

Peoria, ILL.,, Oct. 8.-The Illinois State
Federation of Labor began its convention
in this city this morning with fifty dele
gates in attendance, but $50 are expect
ed.
In his annual address, delivered this
afternoon, Charles j. Reifer, president of
the state federation, complained that
shrewd and unscrupulous persons had
foated into Office upon raft constructed
by the labor vote in exchange for obse-
quious pledges.
He earnestly recommended an energetic
and vigorous agitation in favor of con-
stitutional convention in this state, for,
he claimed, that the masses we're not per
mitted to enjoy that degree of liberty
and unrestricted opportunity warranted
by our free institutions.

ARMENIANS AND TURKS.
More Serious Disturbances Reported
in Turkish Cities--Guard ships
Ordered Into Position BY
the Powers.

Constantinople, Oct. SIT is reported
that serious disturbances between the
Armenians and Turks have broken out at
Sivas, Van and Bitlis, the three leading
cities of Armenia.
The guard ships of the various powers
are moored at Galats, in order to be in
position to render aid to foreign resi-
dents in case of need.
A council Of ministers has been held at
the palace to consider the terms of the
note submitted to the porte by the ENJOYS
of the six powers.
There have been no further disturb
ances here. The Armenian shops at
Stamboula ahd Galata are closed. The
patrols Of this city we're strengthened to-
day by additional infantry and cavalry.
The sultan has twice sent Artin Pasha
to the patriarchste to cooperate with the
patriarch in his efforts to induce the
Armenians, who sought refuge in the
churches, to return to their homes. All
efforts in this direction proved futile, the
Armenians declaring that they have
no confidence in promises of protection
BY the Turkish government.
iNinety.fve bodies have been delivered
TO the officials of the patriarchate by the
order of the sultan and II is claimed that
they represent all the Armenians killed
during the recent rioting.

Attorney General Harmon Has Rem
dered an Important Opinion Re-

from Mixture of Foreign
and Domestic Ores.

Washington, Oct. S.-Another crank
turned up at the White house to-day in
the person of Owen Jones, from New
York state. He had sent a threatening
letter so that the officers were on the
watch for him. In an incoherent fashi on
that showed a disordered mind, he an

rested.
DEATH OF GEN. MALONE.
Gen. Malone died at O'Clock this af-

He had lain unconscious since last Sun
day morning, taking no nourishment and
showing no signs of life beyond faint
respiration. All the members of his fam
lily were about his bedside when the end
came. Among the number we're Mrs.

Malone, jr., and Mrs. McGill, married
daughter.
In accordance with the wishes of the

as "Mahone's brigade"
OPINION AFFECTING WHITE LEAD,
Assistant Secretary Hamlin has written
a letter, in which he states that the at.
torney general has rendered an opinion
which will hereafter govern the de-
partment's action, holding that white
lead manufactured from pig lead pro-
duced in bonded smelling and refining
establishments from mixture OF
domestic and imported ores Is not en-
titled to the drawback under the provi-
sions of section % of the new tariff act
This decision, it is said, is based upon the
fact that the amount of imported ores en-
tering into the white lead product can
not be ascertalned by chemical analysis
Nor will the manufacturer be permit
ted to show by other evidence the proper
tions of domestic and imported ores &c
used.

AMONG THE MINERS.
A New Mill for the COchiti District
Strike in the VictOr-R. Y. An
dersOn Gets the Cullen
Group.

Word comes from Cochiti mining dis
trict that VIM. Wright, of Creede, is in
specting the great camp with view to
erecting 1OO-ton mill to treat the ores
there. At this time he is supposed to be
under the guidance of Mr.. Thos. Low
THAN. Mr.. Wright comes as the repre-
sentative of George Good, a we'll known
Colorado mill man, who is interested in a
number of patents and who has mills in
operation at Florence, Breckenridge and
other camps in Colorado. 1t is said he
asks no bonus of the Cochiti people be-
yond a guarantee that they will supply
him with 1000 tons of ore to start with,
to be treated at $1.25 per ton. The
chances are that the proposition will be
accepted. The proposed new plant will
cost $4,000.
NINE NOTES.
r. Anderson, formerly we'll known
as superintendent of the Lincoln Lucky
mines, has taken bond and working
lease on the Pat Cullen group of gold
mines at Golden. A Mr.. Hendy, of Den
YER, prominent in mining circles is asso-
ciated with him. They have leased the
Kelly Huntington mill for testing the
value of the ore, which is visible in mas
sive quantity.
Mr.. T. j. Mclaughlin, superintendent
of the Santa Fe Copper company, was in
from San Pedro yesterday. He said he
was daily expecting good news from
Boston concerning the operations of his
company. A large and rich body of ore
is blocked out in the mine and when
work is resumed it will be on more ex-
tensive scale than ever.
Another rich strike is reported in the
Victor mine at Cochiti. In running a
cross-cut twelve-foot lead was exposed
from which assays were made running as
high as 1922 per ton. The owners OF the
Victor are engineers, conductors and
other employees of the A., I. q 3. f.
They are very iubilant over their lucky
hit.
