A SUIT THREATENED.
The 'Review" Springs One too Many
Fakes

The Revie,U Friday, under sensa-
tional headlines, contained an ac-
count of the alleged removal of S. j.
Wright and his wholesale fruit BUSH
ness to Minneapolis, and saying
among other things that it was pro-
bable that Mr.. Wright's "business
career is ended in Mankato for the
time at least"
MIR. Wright was in Mapleton
doing business when a paper con-
tanning the article arrived there last
night, and he took the first train to
Mankato. He denies that there is a
particle of truth in the statement
published, that he has moved to Min
neapOlis, or that he intends to re-
move his business from Mankato. He
feels that his business has been in
jured by the article in question, and
after taking the matter under advise
ment has employed III. L. Schmitt as
his attorney with instructions to COM
mence an acGlOn Tor damages against
the editors of the ReDieW.
Mr.. Wright will go to Minneapolis
Sal gday morning to consult his
partners about the matter. He says
that he means business. He said to
the FREE PRESS this afternoon:
'If the ReUieD had intended to
treat me fairly it would have ascer-
tanned the facts before publishing
such false and damaging article. [
am Mankato man, and if am per-
mitted to | want to continue to do bus

which the ReuieW has published, 1

have good case for damages, and l
have left the matter in his hands,"

Minneapolis has unearthed an old
ordinance, which it proposes to en-
force this winter on account Of reck-
less driving. 1t requires bells to be
attached to sleighs or any vehicle on
runners or on the horses or mules
drawing them. The ordinance fur
ther requires that the bells shall 9tin-
kle" or make a sound sufficient to
warn people of the approach of the
vehicle. Once upon time this mea-
sure was rigidly enforced and as re-
suit bells were found upon every driv-
ing outfit, but times have changed and
though the majority have complied
with it through force of habit, fully
% per cent will be found to have dis
regarded the law, since they were not
compelled to observe it. The law i'm
poses a fine of not less than 81 nor
more than $40 or imprisonment for
not more than sixty days for VIOLA
tionS OF it's provisions.

FASHION NOTES,

The box-plaited front for waists is In
high favor. 1t Is so very common that
for the woman who will have only one
OF two waists 1t Is wise to select another
style.
Bretelles are again popular, made Of
the dress material or different trim
ming.
One Is hardly In the swim ut all With
out needlewOrk and insertion front Of
some sort. These pile the counters Of
the shops In literally dozens OF styles.
Sleeves are lightly lined for midsum-
mer wear, and droOp gracefully; skirts,
too, are losing the starched, ungraceful
effect that came from too much stifien-
ing. They are still volumin0us, but
have no longer the wooden folds OF
recent date.
Tan shoes are still very fashionable
and what IL called seal leather Is reckon
ed exceptionally stylish. Half high
styles are, of course adapted tO summer
and choice Is given between side but
tons and strings. Pointed toes, are, II
possible, sharper than ever and often
necessitate the wearing Of lengths
quite beyond the foot.
