SUED FOR $4,000.
JACOB FREUNDnADE DEFENDANT
BY hrs. ODER
The Plaintiff, Through Her Guardian,
Wants Compensation for the Loss
of Her Dead Daughters Services
During the Past Five =Claims
That Freund Debauched the Girl
When Under Eighteen Years of Age.

Papers have been served i'm an i'm
portant lawsuit against Jacob Freund,
who is charged with numbering Clara
ODER, whose dead body was found in
the mill pond at Blue Earth City.
The plaintiffs are Ed. Eberline, guar
dian of Amanda ODER, and Amanda
ODER, mother of the dead girl.
The complaint alleges that Mrs.
ODER was adjudged insane in October,
1892, and that Mr.. Eberline was ap-
pointed her guardian. In May, 1890,
the complaint charges, Freund en-
ticed Clara away from her mother
when under eighteen years of age, land
pursuaded her to leave her home and
debauched her and was criminally in
innate with her. The mother was
deprived of her daughters services
and has been ever since, and was made
sick and so affected in mind and body
that she was permantly injured in her
reason. She is a widow. She asks
Freund to pay her $4,000.
j. A. Lovely, of Albert Lea is at
torney for the plaintiffs, and Lorin
Cray and A. R. Pau for the defend
ant. The latter will deny the allega-
tiOnS in.the complaint.

THE WATERVlLLE RESORT.
Some of the Plans of the Andrews
Brothers.

In speaking of the improvements to
be made by the Andrews Bros. at
Waterville, the Minneapolis Times
says:
Gin connection with the 600 guest
hotel, they expect to institute the
greatest amusement venture ever un-
dertaken in the Northwest. An
amusement pavilion will be built adj
joining the hotel, with seating Ca
pacity of from 1900 to 1000 people.
This will be located about a mile
from the main line of the Minneapo-
lis & St. Louis, and that road will
build spur track directly to the
hotel and pavilion. The amusement
feature is expected to attract thou
sands of visitors, who will be favored
with popular priced excursions from
all points in radious of $50 miles.
Wateryille is favorably located, hav-
ing Minneapolis and ST. Paul 70 miles
to the north; Mankato on the west:
Mortified, Faribault and Redwing to
the east; Waseca, Albert Lea, Fort
Dodge and Des Moines to the south,
all in direct railroad connection.
"The project reads almost like a ro-
nance, but General Passenger Agent
Cults, of the Minneapolis & ST. Louis,
is authority for the statement that it
is already we'll under way, and that
the work will all be completed by the
time for the opening of summer bust
ness nextyear. The Andrews brothers
have already begun booking attrac-
tions, and have secured Hagenbeck's
animal show, the worlds fair sensa-
tion, to open the season. Robert
Ingersoll has been secured to lecture,
and Chauncey M. Depew may also ap-
pear. A concert band of 20 pieces will
be in attendance all summer, and
Innes' celebrated Chicago band of so
pieces has been engaged for special
concerts. 1t is also expected to have
league base ball games between St.
Paul and Minneapolis and other
western league clubs, and a series of
bicycle races. Every effort is going to
be made to make the hotel an at
tractive place, and the excursion fea-
ture will probably transcend anything
of the kind heretofore attempted in
the Northwest.

A PLEASANT TIME.

Mrs. w. b. Craig, who was dele
gate to the state convention of char
tiles and correction, which met at
Faribault, reports that the 81 dele
gates were royalty treated by the
citizens, given drives, receptions,
dinners, ETC., and taken to visit the
state institutions for the blind and
deaf, and feeble minded, and the
state school at Owatonna. The ses-
sions were very profitable. Mrs.
Craig read valuable paper on 1.-THE
Prevention of Pauperism," and also
made a report for the Mankato char
liable socities.

LOOKING THROUGH MISTY COG.
Giles.

1t would seem that the city council
has about exhausted the credit of the
municipality for which it stands
sponsor and like bankrupt specl
ulator in futures stands begging for
help to tide it over the breakers.
At the council meeting Saturday
night the ways and means committee
was authorized to borrow So, 200 with
which to meet current expenses
This sort of authorization has been a
feature of the business of the council
at almost every regular session for
months. That body had evidently
arrived at the conclusion early in it
life that there was practically no
limit to it's borrowing capacity, what
ever question might arise as to its
ability to pay. But, like every in
dividual or corporation given to need
less extravaganza, it has finally over
reached it's limit and awakens to the
realizing condition of it's standing,
and finds itself unable to borrow
money to pay current expenses be-
cause of the fact that it has already
borrowed in excess. of the charter
provisions. 49,. ...t
Alderman Peterson isquoted in the
ReOieao as saying that the refusal of
the banks to extend further credit to
the city is chargeable to the trouble
over the bond question; but in this he
is entirely mistaken. Any attempt
to attach significance to the repudia-
tion of illegally issuedbonds to the de-
feated efforts of the council to borrow
money without authority will only
reflect upon the intelligence of the
one who makes such a statement
AS a matter of fact the council has
gone on in most reckless manner in
the expenditure of public funds.
The FREE PRESS has repeatedly call
ed attention to this fact, but with no
effect. 1t believed at the outset and
believes now, that the purchase of
the steam roller was an outlay of
money that was inexcusable with the
condition of our treasury. The lay
ing of water mains in West Mankato,
while we'll enough with full treas
ury, was mighty poor fnanciering
and an expense that could we'll have
been dispensed with. Other expenses
of lesser amounts, but equally dis
pensable, have been incurred until
the sum total amounts to more than
$12, 000-a considerable sum to almost
any one these times. And we are
glad to recognize that our neighbour Of
the Revieao has finally come out
squarely against the unbusiness-like
methods so long pursued by the coun-
Gil in the reckless expenditure of
money. If it had done this six
months ago it would have shown it
self more sincere than it can now
make the public believe it to be. ~

very large and not creditable or fully

Our proportion of fiction issued is

of our patrons, especially teachers, are
giving aid in this direction, but the

Several pictures have been donated
to the library, and Joseph Manderfeld
has loaned several to the rooms.
The reading of so much fiction by
library patrons is not creditable to
the city, but how to overcome this is
a question. One way suggested is for
the teachers to try to inculate desire
for reading travels and history to the
pupils. The question is certainly one
worthy of attention.

CHANGED THE ENOAMPMENT.
Militia Will Go TO Sea Gfrf in Regi-
ments Instead of Brigades.
Spccl0L 10 thc Jerscu cum


TRENTON, May %, 1S95.-The State
Military Board yesterday made official
the plan for regiment encampments at
Sea Grit, outlined hast week. The Fourth
Regiment goes into camp July 10, First,
July 20; Second, July 81. The rifle prac-
tice will take place at the time the
regiments are there.
This plan is pursued in New York with
good results, and is claimed that it will
save the State $4,000 a year, besides IN
surfing better work without so much of
the fuss and feathers of the past. The
matter of making the change has for a
long time been discussed in military
circles, and it is said that the feeling
is about evenly divided as between bri-
gade and regiment encampments. 1t was
reported last week that Governor Werts
a issued an order making the change
and assigning lamp dates to the several
regiments of the first brigade for the
present summer, but it was not so. The
change having been made. each regi-
ment will be Obliged to make its record
on the targets during its week in ami
and the members will a no extra
lays for rife practice as heretofore.
This will, of course, greatly alter the
rifle season work of the National Guard

mulated, as per a recently issued order.
