CHANCE FOR DISAGREEMENT.
Question Whether Mr. Watkins Bid
on all Night Lighting.

There seems to be some question
whether L. E. Watkins proposition
to the city in regard to street light
ing meant until midnight orall night.
Nothing is said in plan .sA" about the
length of time that the lights shall be
burning, nor does Mr. Watkins men
tion it. His bid was one-half Of light
that of the Mankato Gas and Electric
Co.'S bid on arc street lights, yet his bid
on incandescents is practically the
same as what the company is now
charging, and his bid on some kinds of
commercial lighting and power is
higher. II Mr.. Watkins intended that
the arc lights were to burn only until
midnight, the figure on this is about
in proportion with his other figures.
OF course, the city only wanted
bids for all nightlighting, and willin
sist on this; and the chances are also
that Mr. Watkins had all night light
ing in his mind when he wrote his
bid, for he spoke of the incandescents
burning all night.

NO ANSWER YET.
The Question of rlr. Watkins Re-
spOnsibility Discussed.

No reply has yet been received from
L. E. Watkins, the Boston man whose
electric proposition has been accepted
by the council. There has not yet
been time for a letter to be received
The name of 81. E. Watkins,
Boston,, appeared on The Saulpaugh
register this morning, but it was
placed there by practical joker for
the benefit of the reporters.
In speaking of the matter Friday,an
alderman said: "This talk of Mr..
Watkins not being financially re-
sponsible himself cuts no figure, as it
is not expected that he will furnish
the money to carry out his PROPOSE
tion. He does not claim to be more
than consulting engineer, and en-
deavoring to interest capitalists to
from stock company. If Mr.. Wal
kins is a hustler and can interest
capital to back up his proposition,
that is all Mankato wants. The first
thing that the council will do will be
to require him to give a bond, and
you may rest assured that it will in
vestigate his bondsmen and will look
out for the interests of the city. Who
Mr. Watkins is, cuts little figure, SO
long as the proposition which he
made is carried out. 1t might turn
out, also, that those who claim that
Mr. Watkins is not responsible man
are badly off.
Engineer Haynes states that in his
opinion the Engineering Neaos would
not knowingly carry the advertise
ment of man who is not responsible.
Whatever may be thought of the
matter, Mr.. Watkins now has the op-
portunity to let the people of Manka-
to know what he can do.

A CALIFORNIA LETTER.

R.F. Jones has received letter
from ]. B. Radcliffe, formerly of this
county but now of San Diego, Cal.
The writer is much pleased with the
country and has just purchased thir-
teen acres eleven miles from San
Diego, with a cottage and barn, at a
bargain. He writes: 81 am we'll and
feel twenty years younger. 1t is no
task for me to walk off twenty miles
now. When / left Minnesota five
miles would have tuckered me out. I
weigh % pounds more, and the
clothing l bought of you is so tight
| am in misery. This city has cleo
trio street cars, and her principal
streets are SO nicely paved that they
are ahead of Minneapolis or Chicago.
You don't have to go to crossing,
and then have mud clinging to you.
The whole street is crossing, you
just skip over wherever you want to,
and your feet are perfectly clean. No
body wears rubbers 1t is the lOvli-
est of May weather; the yards are
full of the tenderest of flowers: the
churches are decorated with them on
Sabbath day: and the atmosphere is
loaded with natures perfume. The
windows are let down, and in floats
the inviting sea breezes. 1t was 80
above today, which is almost as hot
as it got here last summer. They say
it did get SO one day, so you see win
tiers and summers are about alike
here.n

FIFTY DOLLARS FINE.
1rs. Chilson Pleads Guilty to Keep
ing a Disorderly House.

Mrs Sarah Chilson was arrested at
two o'clock Saturday, having re-
turned to her house, and was given a
cell at the city hall. When arraigned
this morning on the warrant charg-
ing her with having disorderly
house, she pleaded not guilty, and her
bond was placed at $500. She failed
to get any sureties, and later changed
her plea to guilty. The court stated
that her house had been a source of
annoyance to the officers for year
past, and imposed sentence of fine
of $50 and costs, or thirty days in the
county Jail. Mrs. Chilson said that
she was unable to pay the money
without mortgaging her property,
which she would not do, and was COM
mitted to Jail. Her little seven year
old daughter is to be placed in the
care of Humane Officer Sheldon.

FOUND AT GAINESVILLE.
Two of rlr. Schaeffer's Assailants
are Arrested.

Chief Yates received a telegram
Saturday from the authorities Of
GAINESVILLE saying that Fred Brooks
and his companion are under arrest
there. He took the afternoon train
for GAINESVILLE and will return with
the prisoners tonight. These two
and enc other are the young fellows
whom Mr.. Schaeffer states assaulted
him yesterday morning, severely in
juring him. The names of two of the
parties are unknown. Yesterday Mr..
Schaeffer swore out warrant for the
arrest of the three, charging them
with assault in the second degree,
which is penitentiary offense. The
officers profess to know where the
third man is, and believe that they
can get him when necessary. The
three will probably be arraigned to-
morrow.

GUSTAV'S LOVE AFFAIRS.
Tilted by His Sweetheart, He Loses
His Mind.

Officers Daniels and Lundberg Thurs
day arrested Gustav Kusel after a
chase through Dukes addition. The
man spent the day at the city hall and
Friday was examined as, to his
sanity. He has two brothers in the
city who tell sad story concerning
the cause of the mans present condi-
tion. Seven years ago Kusel had a
sweetheart in the old country, whom
he was to marry, and he sent her
money to come to Minnesota. When
she came she found that he was a
drinking man and would not have
him. She later married another
young man, and they are now residing
in Duluth immediately after this
affair, .Kusel had an insane spree, and
his weakness has again come upon
him.

Hereafter

John Peters, the Good Thunder
farmer who was allowed to go Mon
day ON his own recognizance after be-
ing charged with disorderly conduct,
was brought to the city Friday after
noon by an officer. Monday he asked
the court what he would do if he did
lot return at the time set for the
trial, and was told that an officer
would be sent after him. The court
was as good as its word, and Peters
neglect cost him just S11.31. He
pleaded guilty and the fine, and costs

His expense otherwise would have
been only 1866.

EX-SPEAKER CRISP DEAD.
End Game Suddenly at Atlanta
Cnused nv Heart Trouble.

ATLANTA, Ga. Oct. 29-Judge Charles F;
Crisp. ex-speaker of the national House OF
Representatives. and Georgia's foremost
stateman, died here suddenly. He had been
for several weeks in the sanitarium in this
city under treatment for fever, but recently
for heart trouble. He was so greatly inn
proved that he went out for drive. This,
however, developed some lung trouble,
which took the form Of incipient pneumonia,
and although the physicians and Immediate
family were considerably alarmed about his
condition. the public generally had no idea
there was any probability of fatal termi-
nation.
Charles Frederick Crisp, soldier, Judge,
statesman had twice been chosen to fill the
third highest office under the American
government, and within few weeks. had he
lived, would have been sent by the state OF
Georgia to speak and act for her people in
the Senate of the United States.
Mr., Crisp was not native American, hav-
ing been born in Sheffield, Eng. Jan. ~.
1916. He was brought to America by his
parents when he was a very small child and
the people OF Georgia always looked upon
him as q native of the state, for among them
