DIEMEL GOES FREE.
Attorney Pau and Sheriff Bowen Re-
turn From Missouri.
His Excellency, the Governor, Was
Out Every Time They Called.

Attorney A. r. Pau and Sheriff
Bowen returned from Jefferson City,
Mo-, Wednesday, being unable to
see Gov. Stevens to serve the requisi-
tion papers upon him. The governor
sent word by his private secretary
that he was notat home every time the
Mankato gentlemen called upon him,
and when it became evident that he did
not care to see these particular callers
the latter concluded that they were
wasting time to remain any longer.
While the absence of the governor
was delaying matters. Diemel was
discharged by the justice of peace at
Gilmore, where he was being held on
the charge OF bringing stolen pro-
perty into the state.
The attempt to bring Diemel back
is abandoned for the present. Diemel
had engaged the service of three
good attorneys, and his wife's rela-
tives are well to do and influential.
These facts, together with the an
tipathy Of Missourians for Minneso-
tians, owing to the refusal of this
state to pardon the Younger brothers,
who are in Saltwater on life SEN
fences for participating in the North
field robbery, are believed to be the
real cause of the failure to bring
| Diemel back for trial.

NOT WELL SPOKEN OF.
What Albert r. Coates Says of Mar
shall Sudieth.
Sudieth is Only WOuld-be Crook,
and Not Over Smart.

Peter Weingartz Tuesday after
noon swore out complaint for the
arrest of Marshall Sudieth on the
charge of petit larceny, in stealing
watch. This is the third criminal
action started against Sudieth for al
legged watch stealing. All of the COM
plants allege that Sudieth was given
the watches to hand to Albert r.
Coates to be repaired.
Mr.. Coates has small shop on
North Second street opposite the City
Hotel. A curtain partitions off the
front part OF the room from the rear,
and repairing table is at the left as
one enters, and numerous clocks tick
from the wall on the right. Mr..
Coates came to this city from Mime
apolis some time ago, and deals in
clocks and other articles. When ask
ed today by FREE PRESS reporter to
state his connection with Sudieth,
he replied: ~s-g
81 have known Sudieth for about
five years, and he has worked for me
more or less. A few years ago he got
into trouble several times, but had a
pull with the authorities and got
away every time. He collected some
accounts for me and did not turn
them over, and for that he was ar
rested and sentenced to ninety days
in the workhouse, but his sentence
was suspended. When L came TO
Mankato he came and wanted work
and said that he had reformed. | be-
lieved him and let him sell articles
and solicit watch repairing. He did
this all right for six weeks, but the
Saturday before Washington's Birth
day he sold a clock too cheap and |
told him that he couldn't
do that and work for me.
Monday it appears that he Sc
cured several watches to be repaired
and kept them and went away. He
also took about S25 worth OF my goods,
and if he gets away from the watch
cases l will have him put through on
my charge.
81 do not consider Sudieth as any
thing more than a would-be crook.
He would like to be known as one, but
is bungler in the work, and can't
fool anybody"
G. H. Crates, who assists
Mr.. Coates in his bust
ness, states that Sudieth opened
letter addressed to him, and that he
intends to place the matter in the
hands of the proper authorities. He
says that he has letter written by
Sudieth giving the contents of the
purloined letter, which would be
strong evidence against him.
Neither Mr.. Coates nor Mr.. Gates
seem to have much use for Sudieth.

Mr.. BRYAN is not peeping over
Japan's move in adopting the gold

nations whose great prosperity the
free coinage people were constantly
referring to in the last campaign, and
attributed it to silver alone. 1t seems

Fires I'm Msd-Minter.

One hundred fire alarms were sounded
in Chicago the other day, while the cold
wave prevailed Most of the fires were
small. and a majority of them were trace
able directly to the low temperature. The
apparent anomaly is easily explained. The
cold snap caused householders to run their
stoves and furnaces at full blast, without
regard for the danger of overheating flues
and setting fire to the inclosing woodwork.
In many cases, too. the careless use of
heat for thawing out frozen wafer pipes
resulted in confagrations, and so the fire
department was kept busy, with the ever
present danger that the number of fires
might become too great to be handled.
Philadelphia had a similar experience the
day of the great fire opposite the city hall.
The same thing may happen anywhere If
hcuseholders will persist in dsregarding the
ordinary rules of caution and invite de
struCtion by rec1iessness i'll the use of fire
in their homes. 1t is to be remembered,
also. that confla grations are more difficult
TO suppress in very cold weather than or
