Band Concert.

On Saturday evening, April 27, the
Watertown Cornet band will give its
first concert at Turner Opera house.
The concert will be under the direction
of the new leader, Prof w. B. Thack-
er, and programme of nine selections
is to be rendered. Tickets have been
placed at the low price of 25 cents, and
it is hoped and expected that the sale
will be very large. The boys are de-
serving of substantial encouragement
in their endeaYor to furnish the city
with good band organization, and
they have gone to considerable ex-
pense in engaging capable instructor.
A grand ball follows the concert, ad-
mission to which is 25 cents.

THE NEW COUNCIL.
While admitting that politics does
not and should not have any weight on
affairs in the common council, it is in
teresting to know the political COM
plexion of the incoming body. 1t is
composed as follows, our Democratic
contemporaries to the contrary not
withstanding: Seven Republicans, six
Democrats and one Independent. Six
of the old members are returned,
namely, Aid Eaton, Woodland, Kessler,
Kruger, Meyer and Sullivan, who fur
nish an excellent working nucleus.
Among the new members are a number
who have had previous experience in
the public affairs of the city, and the
council as a whole is body of citizens
whom we think can be depended upon
to do what is right.

Suit Withdrawn.

The city's suit againg A. B. Weigley,
the shoe merchant, brought to recover
damages for failure to pay the transient
traders license, was withdrawn from
Justice Henze's court by City Attorney
Pease, acting for the city, before the
day of hearing, April 5. This action
was taken on account of the state law,
upon which the ordinance affecting the
case was constructed, having been
amended by the present legislature, it
being Mr. Pease's opinion that a new
ordinance should be in effect before
the suit could be prosecuted. Accord
inglY, such an ordinance was passed
last evening by the council and the
mayor stated it was the intention to
again commence suit against Mr.. Weig-
ley.

Boomers are having much to con
tend with. An anti-bloomer associa
tion has been formed by the young
men of New York town, who pledge
themselves to have nothing to &c
with girls who wear the Objectionable
garments. A lady was arrested In
Little Rock, Ark, for wheeling
through the streets clad in boomers,
under an ordinance prescribing "1n-
decent apparel" However, the
Judge, after carefully reading the
book on dress reform, decided that
boomers are not an indecent dress
and dismissed the case. He said that
as women are going to ride bicycles
they were bound to have some COM
Portable and appropriate dress. The
bloomer has some friends at Toronto,
Canada, for by vote Of Ii to 3 the
school board rejected resolution con-
demning lady teachers in the city
schools who wore boomers. At Wes-
sington Springs, S. D., there are two
full mines of girl base ball players,
between 16 and IS years of age, and
uniformed in boomers of black and
blue.

CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS.
Mrs. Van Sky has Four Glass Block
EMPLOYEES Arrested.

Mrs. Laureas Van Sky swore out a
warrant Friday for the arrest OF
Arthur G. Burgess, Frank Seibert,
Thos. /. Skeoch and Henry G. Pickle,
charging them with unlawfully cut
ting down and removing shaue and
ornamental tree from a cemetery in
Mankato township. Mr.. Skeoch is
the trimmer and decorator of the
Glass Block, Mr.. Seibert is the car.
penter, and the other two are clerks
in the store.
The warrant was served, and the
four parties were arraigned in the
municipal court at three O'Clock this
afternoon. J. A. Flittie appeared for
the state and w. L. Comstock for the
defendants, who all entered pleas
of mot guilty." Mr.. Fhttie stated
that it had been agreed to continue
the case until Jan. 3rd. The court
allowed the defendants to go on their
own recognizance, bail being placed
at 500 in each case.
Mrs. Van Sky was supposed to have
settled the matter satisfactorily fol
1926, and the present proceeding is
surprise. Mr.. Comstock states that
the case will be fought, and believes
that he will be able to make a sue
ceSSful defense.

TWO MORE CONVICTIONS.
OFT and Craner Found Guilty I
HeinOuS Crimes.

Scarcely fifteen minutes were re-
quired for the juries that tried John
G. OFT and Robert Craner to find them
guilty of the offenses alleged in the
indictments. The evidence in the
two cases, and particularly in the OFT
case, was of nature totally unfit for
publication. The evidence against
OFT was of a similar nature to that
produced against Oscar Wilde, except
that the main witness in the case
Thursday was little girl. The juries
in both cases are to be congratulated
upon their speedy verdicts, and nc
sympathy will be wasted on the crimi-
nails if they are given long terms in
Saltwater. OFT has already served a
term,in the penitentiary for an at
tempted rape upon the same little
girl when she was about eight years
old. Society can dispense with him
for long term of years.
The trial of James Mullen on the
charge of assault in the second de-
gree upon John Kramer at Madison
Lake. Feb. 21st, is now on. He is be-
ing defended by w. r. Geddes and w.
E. Young, and County Attorney Bene
dict is being assisted by VIM. f
Hughes.

Resolutions Adopted.

In responce to the call of the COM
mittee for meeting at the Y. M. O..
A. rooms Friday afternoon on be-
half or the suffering Armenians, the
parlors were filled with ladies and
gentlemen. Miss Hartwell, of St.
Paul, presented an account of the
suffering from famine and massacre
in Armenia, after which Rev. f. M.
Washburn was chosen chairman, and
Rev. Lee w. Beattie secretary. 1t
was decided to hold a mass meeting
in the near future, at which addresses
will be made in behalf of the suffer
ing, and resolutions presented call
ing upon our government to back up
the action of the combined European
powers to intercede in behalf of the
Armenians and demand a humane
policy of government by the Sultan.
A committee on resolutions and to
prepare for the mass meeting was ap-
pointed, as follows: Rev. DR.. Cleve-
land, Rev. Geo. H. Davis, Rev. H. F.
Waring, Mayor Weaver, Geo. M.
Palmer, DR.. J. W. Andrews, Supt. G..
f. Kenaston, Mrs. DR.. Stafford, Rev.

The Saltwater city clerk has full
mail of letters asking for copies of the
now celebrated curfew ordinance, and
inquiries concerning it's operation.
These come from nearly every state
in the union, especially from Kansas,
Massachusetts, New York, Pennsyl-
vania, Illinois, Ohio, Iowa and Wis
consin, as we'll as from all over this
state. The demand has been so
great that number of copies have
been printed. Secretary of State
Berg has also received inquiries, as
some people believe it is state law.
The Saltwater Humane Society pre-
pared the ordinance and patterned it
after one in operation at Puyallup,
Wash. Minneapolis, Duluth and
Granite Falls are among the cities
most recently infected with the cur
few idea.

CAUGHT SHOPLIFTlNG.
A St. Clair Woman has to Settle in
Court for Wrong Doing.

Mrs. Hulda Deiderick, of St. Clair,
was detected in the act of smuggling
goods out of j. B. & D. Richards
store. Friday, and was placed under
arrest. She was looking over goods
and unobserved managed to conceal
a bolt of good Henrietta cloth under
her shawl. and would have been sue
cessful in her endeavor to steal the
cloth had not the price tag, attached
to long string. hung down below her
shawl This caused suspicion, and
an inspection showed that these sus-
picions were correct.
The woman was taken to the city
hall and her husband was summoned,
when she was arraigned on the charge
OF petit larceny. She pleaded guilty
and paid a fine of 1896.

MULLEN ACQUITTED.
He Makes Out Case of Sell
Defense.

| The case off: the state of Minnesota
VS.. James Mullen, for alleged assault
in the second degree upon John
| Kramer at Madison Lake, Feb. 21st,
went to the jury Saturday The
jury was out only long enough to take
an informal and formal ballot,
and the vote being unanimous
in each case for acquittal,
Mr.. Mullen was discharged. He al
legged that in striking Mr.. Kramer he
acted in self defense. He claimed
that he was uncorking pop bottle
when Mr. Kramer came up behind
him and was about to strike him. He
brought the bottle around behind him
and the end of it hit Kramer. The
witnesses examined for the state were
John Kramer, Chester Wells, Geo.
Arnolds and Sherman Buckmaster.
Patrick Baynes and Mr.. Mullen were
put on the stand for the defense
The jurors were excused until ten
'clock Thursday, and only court cases
will be tried in the mean time.
This afternoon Judge Severance
heard arguments in motion for ali
mony in the divorce case OF Mrs.
Smith against her husband, .. P.
Smith. Thos. Hughes argued for ali
mony and FL. L. Schmitt against the
motion. The court took the matter
onder consideration.
The work of the court Els moving
along expeditiously, and it now looks
as though there would be no necessity
for an adjourned term. None of the
cases tried have taken up much time.
County Attorney Benedict states
that there will not probably be more
than one more criminal case to try.
He has tried six cases this week and
secured five convictions, which is a
most excellent record.
The prisoners who have been con-
victed will be sentenced early next
week

for robbery in the second degree. Ii
Liedloff is brought back, he will have

ings in the case of the e. G. Burdick
Co. Tn court room was filled with
attorneys and creditors. Before Judge
Caldwell had an opportunity to render
his decision, Attorney Cray stated
that an ageement had been reached
satisfactory to all parties. He moved
that the receivership proceedings be
dropped, and that the assignment OF
the company to J. B. Richards be al
lowed to stand. There being no OBJ
lection, the court granted the motion
This will leave smooth sailing fol
the present, and Mr.. Richards will

they have done.

OF BROWN STONE.
The New Union Depot will be an
Elegant Building.

Attorney Cray returned yesterday
afternoon from St. Paul, where he
had conference with General Man
ager Winter in regard to mat
tiers connected with the removal of
the Omaha tracks in this city. He
learned that the plans for the union
depot have been still further perfect
ed, although the design of the build
ing, as exclusively given in the FREE
PRESS couple of weeks ago, remains
practically unchanged. Instead of
pressed brick, however, it has been
decided to construct the building of
brown stone, which will make it a
most elegant structure. The build
ing will be after the style of the
handsome depot at West Superior
The platform will be 700 feet long,
will be on the river side, and there
will be no sheds, as at first contem-
plated. The work of filling in the levee
for the depot will be commenced as
soon as the title to the ground can be
perfected. The best stripping from the
Quarries will be used, and as substan-
tial foundation for the building will
be made as was prepared for the pre-
sent Chicago & Northwestern depot.
This work will be pushed all winter.
1t has been determined to con-
struct stone and iron culvert at the
"a" street crossing, twenty-five feet
wide, at a cost of $8,000 The sides
will be of stone and iron girders will
be used. This will give plenty of
room for loads to pass under in case
the river should ever be bridged at
that point.
Mr.. Cray was informed that work
would begin soon wherever practic-
able, and would be pushed as rapidly
as possible. In fact, were it not for
the protection against high water
that will have to be made, trains
could be running over the new track
within thirty days.
1t is reported that Mcclure, of
Minneapolis, will have the contract
for putting in the bridge piers over
the Blue Earth river, and that Man
kato stone will be used. Whether
this is so or not, we are not informed.

SADLY AFFLICTED.
Typhoid Fever Affects the Family
of Hiram TuttIe, and he Sue
cumhed Friday.

For more than three months the
family of Hiram futile. of Spring
Island, who will be remembered by a
large number of our readers as
quite extensive grower of berries, has
been sorely afflicted with typhoid
fever. His wife, two sons, two
daughters and two grand children
have all passed through the siege,
and all recovered except one son
whose death was recorded in these
columns few weeks ago. Mr.. Tut
tie himself escaped the disease until
a little more than week ago when
he was forced to take his bed. and
died Thursday morning from the
effects of hemorrhage of the bowels.
Mr.. futile was 81 years of age and
was an old resident of the county.
He was quiet, honorable and highly
respected man, and the community
sincerely sympathize with the
stricken family over his demise.
Mrs. futile, who has been nigh unto
deaths door, is just recovering from
her long attack and the death of her
husband is a severe shock to her sys-

BRAINERD'S LIGHTING EXPERT.
ENCE.

Evidently the pleasure of owning
and operating an electric light plant
is not what it is "cracked up to be-"
under municipal ownership. Brain
erd is a city of considerable size and
has owned plant, but has become
tired of it. This week a special cleo
tion was held to vote upon PROPOSE
tion to sell the plant, and the vote
stood 1923 in favor of selling and 143
opposed to selling. So the plant goes
to private parties and it is to be i'm
proved to the extent of $4,000.
Perhaps Mankato can profit by the
experience of Brainerd.

POLCHOW CASE SETTLED.

The differences between Christian
Polchow and the Minneapolis Brew
ing Co. have been satisfactorily ad-
justed. 1t is understood that Mr..
Polchow paid the company a small
amount, the remainder of the money
Hclaimed being charged to the legiti.
mate expenses of the business. This
disagreement having been adjusted,
the court will probably dismiss the
criminal proceedings, if it sees fit
under the circumstances. The case
is to be disposed of one way or the
other at the present term of court, in
any event.

An Omaha nurseryman was in
Tracy, Mimi, last week making his
fall delivery of trees, and everything
passed off without a cloud of disap-
pointment for the horticulturist un-
til finally he was startled be the re-
mark from one of the bystanders that
one of his orders was worthless, as
the farmer for whom it was labeled
had moved out of the country. After
receiving this information, the tree
man began negotiations to sell the
order to his informant at half price,
and was successful. Witnesses to the
transaction were exceedingly amused
to see the farmer drive home with
the trees, knowing him to be the man
for whom they were originally in
tended.
