BOUND OVER.
Chris Hanson Will be Tried in This
City.

Chris Hanson had his hearing be-
fore United States Court Commits
sioner Ogle Wednesday, on the charge
of sending obscene letters through the
mail. He refused to plead, but has a
written statement which is believed
to be a confession, but this could not
be gotten from him. Assistant o. S.
District Attorney Geo. O'Reilley, of
St. Paul, appeared for the prosecu-
tion, and Hanson was unrepresented.
Deputy Marshal Sheehan, POstOffice
Inspector Wood and Postmaster Soren-
son, of Albert Lea, were the witnesses
examined, and they made out a strong
case against Hanson, who was bound
over to the U. S. grand jury, which
meets in this city next Tuesday. In
default of $1,000 bail, he was COM
mitted to the county jail.
A stack of letters were produced,
written in Scandinavian, which it is
claimed he wrote to Mr.. and Mrs.
Rasmussen, of Minneapolis. 1t is
claimed that in 1882, Hanson was re-
fused work by Mr.. Rasmussen, and
that ever since then he has been per-
scouting Mr. and Mrs. r. by writing
them the vilest of letters, as the
sample introduced into court showed.

LEASE EXTENDED.
THE SAULPAUGH RENTED FOR
SEVEN YEARS,
Nesbitt s. Snow Dissolve Partner
ship, and s. r. Snow Secures the
Lease Alone, and Purchases the
Furniture, Carpets, Etc, From =.
h. Saulpaugh Hotel Has Been
Thoroughly Renovated and the
Table Service Greatly improved.

Elsewhere in this issue we publish
the official notice of the dissolution OF
the partnership heretofore existing
between S. r. Snow and e. r. Nesbitt.
Mr.. Snow will continue to conduct
The Saulpaugh, while Mr.. Nesbltt
will conduct The Berkeley, in Min
neapolis. The change took effect
April 1st but is today made public
for the first time.
A year ago MessrS. NeSbitt and
Snow leased The Saulpaugh for year
with the privilege of extending the
lease for seven years. Having become
satisfied with the hotel and the pat
ronage which it is receiving, Mr..
Snow concluded to take the hotel for
the other seven years. and the papers
have been signed, the time dating from
May 1st.
Mr. Snow has purchased from Q. II.
SauIpaugh all Of the furniture in the
building, carpets, etc. The building
has recently been thoroughly reno
waited and put in first class condition,
the beds refreshed, the carpets
cleaned, and painting and papering
done wherever needed. In fact every
thing is as neat and clean as though
the big hotel had just been opened to
the public. Nothing short of this
would satisfy Mr.. Snow, who has the
comfort Of his guests foremost in his
mind at all times.
ThoS. Smith has been engaged as
chef. He is young man who has
had experience in some Of the leading
hotels in Chicago and elsewhere, and
under his supervision the table has
greatly improved so that complete
satisfaction is given TO all patrons of
tae, house. The table now set is con-
sidered one of the best anywhere in
che northwest. Leonard Snow has
come from Minneapolis and taken the
position of steward, under his father,
and will devote his entire time to this
work.
4 FREE PRESS reporter took a look
over the hotel this morning and was
much impressed with the excellent
manner in which it is being conduct
ed. From the fourth floor down, the
rooms are all neatly kept and well and
comfortably furnished. The rooms
are in all respects the equal Of those
in the best hotels in the large cities,
and in many cases larger and with a
much better outlook. They are well
Garpeted and papered, and the fur
niture is of the best. The parlorS,
kitchen, dining room, are all neatly
kept and attractive.
Our citizens will be more than
pleased to learn of Mr.. Shows deter
mination to make Mankato his future
home. During his brief residence
here he has won the friendship and
good will of all with whom he has
come in contact, and he has brought
the hotel to state of popularity
never before reached. He has had
twenty-five years experience in the
hotel business, the last four in Min
neapolis prior to his coming to Man
katO, and he is master of it's details.
The FREE PRESS hopes that Mr..
Snow will never have occasion to re-
greet his move, and that prosperity
may attend his residence here.
