HEARING POSTPONED.
How Olson is Brought Into the Ober
Case.

Yesterday was the day set for the
preliminary examination OF Lewis
Olson, who is charged with completely
in the alleged murder of Clara Ober,
at Blue Earth City. He was taken
there Tuesday evening by Sheriff Nc
Donald, and was accompanied by one
of his attorneys, Byron Hughes.
When the case was called yesterday,
the state was not ready to proceed,
and at the suggestion of Mr.. Hughes
it was continued until next Wednes-
day, which is the day following that
set for Jacob Freund's examination.
The state desired time to look up
more evidence. Olson was brought
back to this city last evening to await
the hearing.
Mr.. Hughes states that the excite
ment at Blue Earth City keeps up,
although no effort was made to DO
bodily harm to Olson. The latter was
taken along the streets several times.
The feeling is more bitter toward
Freund. Mr.. Hughes states that the
people believe that Olson was the one
who drove the buggy which is sup
posed to have contained himself,
Freund and Miss Ober. They believe
that Freund and Olson suffocated the
girl and then threw her into the pond.
Then they think that the water re-
vived her and she struggled free from
the shawl and stone, which they say
accounts for her body being found
some distance from the latter. Mr..
Hughes believes that there is little or
no evidence against Olson, although
he says that the officials claim to have
strong evidence which has not yet
been made public.
Olson claims to be able to prove an
alibi, saying that he was at home and
in bed on the night of the occurrence.

FEATHERS PLUCkED.
The Golden Eagles of Austin De-
feated by rlankatO.

The Mankato base ball club added
another feather to it's head gear yes
terday afternoon, this time one
plucked from the Golden Eagles of
Austin. The game was interesting
from the start to finish, as the score
remained about even until the last
three innings. The grand stand and
"bleechers" were filed and a crowd
was standing up. All of the trees and
houses outside of the ground were
also filled with people ''sponging"
look at the game.
The Mankato club appeared for the
first time in it's new uniforms, which
arrived yesterday. They are dark
red or maroon color, with caps to
match, and across the breast
the word "Mankato" appears in gilt
letters. The uniforms are very neat
and tasty. The Austin club wore
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1895-08-09

their light buff uniform, with initials
sc. E." on the breast.
The Mankato team played as fol-
lows: Desmond, c. f., Hyke, |. f.,
Strong, r. f., Masserly, 1st b., Reed, I'd
b., Day, 3rd b., Brown, s. s.. Adams,
p, Wattles, C.

Disentell, LIST b., Weber, I'd b.,
Dohl, 3rd b., Eckerstrom, S. s., Mar
shall, r. f., Nichols, |. f., Bow, C. f.
The game was as good an exhibition
of ball playing as Mankato has ever
seen. Adams pitched fine game for
Mankato. He was little wild at
first, but soon settled down and sent
the ball over the plate in way which
dazed the Austin boys.
In the second inning when the
Mankato boys were at bat, the bases
were full and Masserly put the ball
over the fence. In the same inning
Wengert put it over.
In the fifth, Adams threw eleven
balls to strike out three men, the first
two men never striking at it.
After the sixth the visitors put
Nichols in the box and he pitched
better than O'Donnell.
The Austin boys are to be criticized
in one respect. Their pitcher should
give the batsman a chance to hit the
ball. This they did not do, sending
such batters as Masserly, Brown and
Adams to first base on balls rather
than let them hit it.
After the sixth, Austin was shut
out.
