HER SUFFERINGS ENDED.
Miss Bertha Hartman Passes to Her
Long Rest.

Miss Bertha M, daughter of Mrs.
@. Hartman, died at her home in this
city at ten o'clock Friday night. She
had been great sufferer for the past
three years, and death to her was a
relief which she had for some time
looked forward to.Although her death
was not unexpected, the end came
rather suddenly, SO that her brother
arrived from st. Paul little too late
to see her again in life.
The deceased was born at st. Peter,
but when one year old came to Man
kato with her parents and has resid-
ed here ever since. She was clerk
in W. W. P. McConnells store for a
number of years, and also clerked in
other stores. She was a favorite
among all who knew her, and was ad-
mired for her amiability and even
ness of temper. Two sisters and one
brother survive her, Mrs. Louise
Sommers, of Lacrosse, Mrs. Alma Van
Valen, and Geo. T. Hartman, of St.
Paul.
The funeral services will be held
at the residence, 22S South Front
street, tomorrow afternoon at $3.50
o'clock, and the burial will occur at
St. Paul Monday.

Obituary..

The funeral of John Richard Price,
youngest son of r. W. and Sarah
Price took place on Monday. Nov. %
at his late residence $40 South Fourth
street, Mankato. The services were
especially impressive. A male
quartette sang "Along the River of
Time we Glide"and "Oh to be Over
Yonder. Rev. M. Evans, of the
Welsh church, pastor Of the parents.
read the Goth Psalm and followed
with appropriate and solemn words
emphasizing the certainty of death
to all and the necessity of prepare
tion. Rev. Lee W. Beattie, pastor of
deceased and under whose ministry
John came into the membership of the
church, these called attention to
the goodness of the Heavenly Father
to the young men of Mankato, es-
pecially those of the PRESBYTERIAN
church. For of the seventv-five
members who might be considered
young men John was the first in a
passionate of our four years to be sum.
moned to death. This circumstance
formed the basis of Mr.. Beattie's re,
marks in which he drew attention
first to the scriptural passages that
refer to the privileges and pOssibiii-
ties of young men Then in reference to
John he said in substance: "He
was a young man just entering his
manhood years, though quiet and un-
oemOnStr3tlve in manner, he early
determined his life should walk in the
Light of the Lord and none could
deny, but all would approve the Lord
Christ and his Righteousness. His
life was developing into true Christ
ian manhood.
And to know John truly, was to feel
he was a Christian. His last linger-
ing sickness was trying to a young
man before whom the world naturally
appeared bright and full of hope. But
without murmur, with Christian
patience and trust he refrained all
cOmplainings and so made easier the
care of loved ones for him. He spoke
trustingly to his pastor and had never
a fear for his future, and thus he
passed to the life immortal. Should
it have been one Of you,
young men, instead of John,
who is gone, could l say as
much. Thankful 1 am to say that
the past life of our young brother was
such that 1T makes it easy and de-
light to say these words above his
bier.
The interment was at Minneopa
where Mr.. Hughes and daughter sang
most tenderly in Welsh an appropri-
ate hymn. And then was laid in the
earth the body while the spirit had
already gone to Him who gave it.

MANTHE'S BICYCLE.
Had Trouble in Collecting the Pay
or II.

Among numerous pieces of cheap
jewelry found in Fred Manthe's
trunk, was steel ball used in the ball
bearing of bicycle. When asked by
Free Press reporter whether he
ever owned bicycle, Mantle said
that he had not, and said that he had
found the ball. 1t develops that
Mantle did own bicycle before COM
ing to Mankato. He sold it to some
one in Iowa, and had trouble in get
ting his pay for it. He applied to At
torney Cray for assistance, and the
latter wrote letter to the purchaser.
In due time a reply was received to
the effect that Mantle could get his
pay for the wheel by going there and
settling up some other matters.
Mantle denied to Mr.. Cray that there
were any other matters needing set
Element, and the attorney wrote a
sharp letter to the Iowa party, which
resulted in a settlement for the
wheel
No one has yet claimed the suit of
clothing which Mantle sold to Mr..
Fuller's barber.
Herman Albert who employed
Mantle and gave him board and
lodging, states that the young man
was very quiet boarder and home
evenings. He thinks that Mantle
must have gotten up and gone out
after the family was asleep, to COM
NIT the burglaries charged against
him. He found Mantle untruthful,
and sometimes thought that he was
unbalanced.
Geo. Jost, for whom Mantle work
ed ten days, says that he considered
the young man unbalanced mentally.
Mantle was wandering in his talk,
and would say things and afterwards
deny that he had said them.
Mantle says very little, but appears
to be sorry for what has happened.

SOME GOOD THOUGHTS.
We Should Show Our Love For Our
Friends While They Are Living.

Sunday evening Mrs. Scovell, state
president of the W. G. T. o., gave a
very interesting address at the Chris
tian church on the subject of "Or-
ganized Mother Love"
Rev. Williams offered prayer and
several selections were rendered by
the Christian choir.
Among the many good things offer
ed by Mrs. Scovell, was that we show
our love for our friends while they
are living and are able to appreciate
it, instead of waiting for them to die
and then put flowers in withered
hands which were never known to
have had the pleasure of holding
them in life, She would not decorate
a corpse with silk, when the body had
in life been clothed in calico. Said
we should love humanity enough. to do
something for those who are Sc off
than we are. We should let children
know that we love them, especially
when it was necessary to punish
them. She believed many were
wicked simply because they believed
no one loved them nor took any in
terest in them.
She said the woman, who, when
urged to join the W. G. Il. u, replied
that she bad no time for the work,
yet found time to embroider doilies
In needless quantities, would at the
judgment day, when asked what she
had done for humanity, think of
these doilies as. rags. She noticed
that women who wanted to do work
for others were the ones who found
time in which to do it.

ACQUITTED.
Jury Finds That Stage Was JUS
titled in Shooting.
John Dack on Trial Today, Charged
With Breaking Into II. G. MCLean's
House, at Lake Crystal.

The jury in Herbert Stages case re-
tired at $50 O'Clock Friday after
noon, and agreed upon verdict
shortly before 900 o'clock. Judge
Quinn, Clerk Thorne and the attor-
neys were summoned, and the verdict
was received. 1t found the defendant
not guilty. Stage was discharged.
He has been confined in Jail since
July 18th last, the date when the
shooting occurred. The verdict was
somewhat of a surprise.
Besides Stage. the only witness for
the defense was John Johnson, who
lives on Agency Hill. The attorneys
each consumed about half an hour in
their arguments. County Attorney
Hughes maintained that the evil
dence showed that Stage intended to
shoot Collins when he fired at the re-
treating buggy at close range, and
held that the defendant should be
found guilty of assault in the first de-
gree, as charged in the indictment.
VIM. f. Hughes, the defendants at
torney took the ground that Stage
was justified in what he did because
he was defending his property. He
severely arraigned Collins for being
around Stages place at the time of
night when the shooting occurred.
Mr.. Hughes held that there was no
intent to kill, but merely to use the
means necessary for self defense, and
that Collins was hit by stray ball.
He appealed to the sympathy of the
jury on the score of Stages five young
children.
Judge Quinn charged the jury that
if it found that Stage had shot with
the intent to kill, and not in self de-
Tense, he should be found guilty Of as
sault in the first degree; that if the
intent was absent, and the act was
not in self defense, he should be found
guilty of assault in the second de-
gree. but that if he acted in self de-
Tense or in the defense Of his pro-
perty, and used reasonable lDeans IN
der the circumstances, he must be
acquitted.

testified that they belonged to the
threshing crew and that Dack was on
the farm all of the time. The testi-
mony was positive, and several of the

morning before and following the
night of the robbery

the charge of grand larceny in the
first. degree in the alleged stealing
of goods from Representative H. @.
McLean's residence at Lake Crystal,
was begun Friday afternoon. j..
A. Flittie, Dack's attorney, raised
the point that there are two separate
offenses. alleged in the Indictment,
one being the stealing of goods be-
longing to Mr.. Mclean, and the
other the stealing of goods belonging
to Mrs. Mclean. The court sustained
the point and gave the county attor-
ney permission to elect upon which
charge he would try the case. Mr..
Hughes chose to try Dack on the
charge of stealing Mr.. McLean's
goods.
Nicholas J. Herman, Henry G. Nc
Lean, Fred Mclean and D. T. Bowen
were examined for the state, which
rested at noon.
