INDIAN UPRISING.
Bannocks Reported the warpath and
Killing Whites.

For sometime past trouble has been brewing
between the Indians and whites in the vicinity
of Jackson's Hole, Mont, and early last week
the report was spread that the Indians had left
their reservations and were on the warpath
Couriers brought the reports to the cities that
all the settlers had been murdered, and that the
Bannock Indians, who were the leaders in tho
alleged uprising, were making treaties with
neighboring tribes. and a general massacre of
all the whites in that region was contemplated
Later reports had it that 90 whites in Jack
sons Hole had been killed, and brought what
seemed at the time TO be very definite infOrma-
tion regarding the tragedy. The War Depart
ment at the request of the Interior Depart
ment ordered Gen. Coppinger, i'll command of
the Department Of the Platte, to proceed at
once to the scene of the trouble. lie was ri ven
orders to draw troops from other departments
If those under his command were not sufficient
Later dispatches from the scene Of the trouble
do not confirm the reports that many settlers
had been killed, and il now seems that there
will be less disturbance than was expected.
The troops will at once restore order and drive
the Indians back to their reservations.
At the Indian Bureau and at the War De-
partment much sympathy has been expressed
for the BannOcks. 1t is held that the Indians
were hunting on public lands of the United
States, as they have right to do by treaty, and
were not amenable to the Stnta laws of
Wyoming in relation to hunting The slaughter
of the Bannocks by the white settlers near
Jacksons Hole before the uprising is regarded
rs brutal outrage. Tho kilograms from
Wyoming state that only pappoose was spared
by the whites. The presence of the pappoose
in the party is regarded as a strong indication
that there were squaws in the party, and that
they were butchered along with the braves.

MIME sofa AND THE CORN CROP

1t was not but few years ago that
people everywhere laughed at the
idea of corn being raised to any ex-
tent in Minnesota. In fact the idea
was very prevalent that nothing but
wheat could be raised. Whether
there has been change of seasons or
not we cannot say, but certain it is
that the line below which corn can be
most successfully raised, has been
gradually creeping nOrthward, until
all of Southern Minnesota is now in
cluded in the corn belt, and the crop
is looked upon as one of the perman-
ent and most important features for
the farm. Since 1891 Minnesota has
increased it's corn acreage by 437 900
acres, and its share of the corn crop
OF the country this year will be no
small amount. Few people realize
the full Importance of the corn crop
of the country. They think of wheat
as an important product, Of the farm,
but cast corn aside without second
thought, but it is the most impor-
tant crop in the country. Says the
Minneapolis Journal in relation to it:
So much is dependent upon it
farmers by the million: the cattle and
hog market; railroads which carry
corn. A droughty season in the corn
belt is tough thingon business. A
complete failure OF the corn crop
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1895-08-02

would be disaster few persons care
to contemplate. Industrial interests
would feel the bad effects. The lat
ter would be more appalling to the
country at large than the effect of a
wheat crop failure. The yield of
corn last year was only l,2l2,OO0, 900
bushels, and the shortage through
drouth had a positively injurious eff
feet on business. Much Of the de-
preston was due to the short corn
crop. This year that crop will be a
billion bushels larger, if the present
promise holds out. There are 81, 304, :
600 acres planted to corn in this coun-
try this year, which is 3l.5 per cent
more than last year. Minnesota has
100000 acres more corn planted than
last year. Our farmers have learned
to plant something besides wheat.
Corn is found a good crop because it
can so readily be transmitted into
meat. Along the Minnesota river
valley they are realizing more and
more that it pays to plant corn and
fatten hogs. And many more people
use corn for food than formerly"

A CORRECTION.

In regard to the communication
from Spring Island in last weeks
Weekly on the road matter, over the
signature of "a Neighbor," Mr.. NJ.
Hynson informs US that there are
several errors which he wishes to cor
rect. He states that against his prop
erty, the road as it now runs, is wholly
upon his land. The road laid out is
two rods wide, bet against his farm
the road as used is only trifie over Is
feet wide, and this as before stated is
wholly upon his land. Mr.. Hynson
further says that he has given a strip
of land Is feet wide against his prop
erty, and that none has been given by
the adjoining property, but on the
contrary the fence sets over the line
on the land he gave for road purposes,
in some places nearly two feet, max
ing the roadway about 16 feet wide
instead of IA feet as stated in the COM
municatiOn.
He also says that he has no desire
to have the road run through Mr.. Nc
Pheeter's yard, land never has expressed
such a desire; all he asks is that the
road as laid out shall be opened to the
public. Also that the road against
the property he formerly owned is
about two rods wide, that he gave his
share of said road, and that the fence
was built as near on the line as could
be determined at that time, there be-
ing no survey made, and that it is but
very little off the correct line.
We publish these statements in Jus
tice to Mr.. Hynson, as we wish to do
no one an injustice.

AN UNCALLED FOR ATTACK.

The ReuieU made the break last
night that the council exceeded its
authority when it levied $1,000 for
library purposes, and quotes the char
ter to the effect that the council has
the power to vote a sum not exceed
ing one thousand dollars for the eS-
Enlistment and maintenance of a
library and reading room. 1t happens,
however, that the public library of
this city was established under a
state law, the council having passed
a resolution to take advantage of the
same. This law provides that the
council may levy tax not to exceed
of the city. There is nothing to pre-
vent the council from voting the one
thousand dollars allowed by the
charter from the current fund in adj
ditiOn TO the levy Of the library law
should it so see fit. The manner in
which that sheet thus jumps upon one
of the most important interests of
the city, and attempts to make out
the action of the council illegal, while
it defends as perfectly legal an act
which is in doubt, and over which
good lawyers differ, is to say the least
a little peculiar But then we pre-
sumo it is to be expected as it is the
mater of the critter."

THE STATE FAIR.
Blue Earth County Should fave an
Exhibit.

President Weaver. Of the State
Agricultural Society, returned from
ST. Paul last night, where he looked
after the interests OF the state fair,
which opens Sept. 9th. He states
that the fair will undoubtedly be the
largest ever held in the state Al,
ready there is such a demand for
space that it is evident there will not
be square foot left. The main build
ing has been taken by exhibitors, and
those who have individual buildings
have been notified for the first time
to fill them or remove them from the
ground. The cattle exhibit will be
larger and better than ever, which
can also be said Of the dairy exhibit.
Owing to the low price of horses, this
exhibit will not equal the other lines
of live stock.
The St. Paul & Duluth road has
taken space for fine exhibit of the
agricultural, mineral, timber, pisca-
torial and other resources along it's
line.
Seven counties have applied for
space, and as the state appropriates
$3.50 to the one making the best eX-
hibit this is worth competing for.
Mr.. Weaver states that the date Of
the Blue Earth county fair was pur-
posely placed the week before that of
the state fair, to allow of county
display being made up and sent to the
state fair. This should be done by all
means, and there is no reason why
Blue Earth county should not only
take first premium, but also gain a
great deal of profitable advertising.
This county has been blessed beyond
others with good crops, and a magnifi-
cent exhibit could be prepared. We
have grain of all kinds, vegetables,
fruit and everything that should go
to make up county display. Let our
county fair managers have this in
view this fall, and obtain still better
county fair by using this as an argu-
ment for larger and better exhibits.

SHOE TEN VS.. CLOThlERS.
The Former Defeat the Latter on the
Diamond.

The game Of base ball between the
shoe store clerks and the clothing
house clerks came off Tuesday after
noon. Both clubs were full of fight.
and neither knew what defeat was,
never having lost game, which &C
counts for the fact that the under
club was not whit discouraged when
the score stood two to one, but played
on through the nine innings as cheer
fully as though on the winning side.
Some remarkable playing was done in
the game and we have 40 doubt but
what lmpey's Colts picked up some
pointers that will make them in
vincible hereafter.
The clothing men were dressed in
angel white, and the shoe men in a
deep sky blue. The umpireS were G.
Il. Saulpaugh and ALT. Buck, and they
came out none the worse for their eX--
perience. Among the players Geo.
Pond lOOmed up in a manner that is
piOIiASOlS ~ SiSuIlS-os anu W.
understand that up to this afternoon
he has already received tempting Of
fers TO join the Minneapolis Hoodoos,
in hopes OF winning them higher
place in the league score. Some Of
the others also did some remarkable
playing, which is attracting notice in
base bail circles.
+ At the end Of the ninth inning the
score stood Al to 20 in favor of the
shoe men, and the clothiers wanted to
play another inning in the hope that
they would be able to even up the
score with one more chance.
The audience was appreciative,
especially County Superintendent
Scherer, who had wagered cent on
the game and who proved a faithful
coacher.

Wells was visited by a disastrous
fire during the early morning hours.
1t broke out in Geo. Donberg's livery
barn at one o'clock Wednesday, and
it is supposed to have been started by
tramps, who have been seen numer-
ously around that building of late 1t
quickly spread, and within two hours
the town lost a number Of it's stores.
A farmer named Ed. Hayes, while at
work in one Of the buildings assisting
the residents, was struck by a falling
pane of glass and was badly cut about
the head and was taken home uncon-
SciOus.
Geo. DOnberg's loss was 81 600. In
his barn were from twenty-five to
thirty horses, and these were all
burned to death.
The store belonging to CD .Kerschnar
and Henry Burmester was totally de-
stroyed, entailing loss of $4,000. On
this building there was s., 800 insur-
duCC. MI hCIcCludl iIClu SUOCh VI
furniture valued at $4,000. and this
was a complete loss. The insurance
was $1,000
Ollie Anders0n's hardware store
was burned, and he lost stock valued
at S., 200, upon which there was an in
surance of $1,000.
Burmesuer & Miller lost a large part
of their stock of dry goods and
groceries, but had $4,000 insurance.
The Misses Werner, dressmakers,
only saved their machines.
The town hall was somewhat dam
aged by fire, but was saved with much
effort.
Several families who occupied the
second floors of the burned buildings
escaped with only what they could
carry with them.
1t is estimated that the total loss
will be somewhere between $50, 900 and
SAC, 900. while the total insurance will
not exceed $4,000
The loss will be severely felt by
Wells, which is one of the most pro-
gressive and enterprising little cities
in the state.

WORK GOING ON.
Mcconnell & Cumnins Hope to 1ove
by Aug. 18th.

Mcconnell & Cummins will move
into the location which for some
years past has been the home Of the
FREE PRESS on about Aug. 10Th. For
two or three weeks past force of
men has been at work deepening the
basement of the Odd Fellows block.
and this will also be utilized for a
part of the store. The easterly half
of the basement is now about COM
pleted, the floor and shelving being in,
and the woodwork painted. Work is
progressing rapidly on the west half.
Now that the main floor has been
vacated, work on it will be taken up
and pushed. A new stairway has been
built and the old one rebuilt. The
main floor will be remodeled, and re-
papered and painted, and new floor
ing laid where necessary. When the
work is completed Mcconnell & Cum
Minis will have one of the very best
localities in the city.

ate the belief or suspicion in the pub
lie mind that there is question as to
the legality of the proceedings had,
and thereby deter capitalists from
bidding on the bonds on the basis of
the good credit enjoyed by MankatO
in the financial world, then its pur-
pose is accomplished, practically to
the same effect as if the bonds had
been voted down."
In this our neighbOr assumes some
thing which it knows nothing about.
The FREE PRESS has as much interest
in maintaining the credit and integ-
rity of the city as has the ReuieoU, and
it would seem more, for this paper
does not want to see the officials pro-
coed without legal authority, while
our contemporary would brush law
aside and delye blindly into an entan-
clement which might, if carried to its
logical conclusion, cause our bonds to
be discredited for all future.
The FREE PRESS has given publicity
to the matter, not because it wished
to defeat the will of the people, but
because the doubts being raised it de-
sired to call the attention of the
public to the matter, that the legality
of the bond issue be settled before
they are sold, so that no question can
be raised after that transaction has
been made. If it should turn out, as
the Revie,c processes to believe, that
there is nothing TO the points taken,
so much the better for the city, but
having been raised it is much better
that the city proceed sto right the
matter before investors look it up and
raise the point.
The FREE PRESS has no desire to
thwart the will Of the people as our
neighbOr assumes, but it does desire
that the credit of the city be thor,
oughly protected and that when bonds
are put upon the market, they shall
be beyond all question and reflect tC
the credit Of the city.
