CHRISTIAN CAPTURED
The Boy Who Sold a Gun he had
Rented From Capt. Andrews.

Chief Yates received telephone
message from the marshall Of St.
James early Friday, saying that
he had arrested the boy who was
wanted in this city for hiring shot
gun of Capt. T. H. Andrews and sell
ing it at Lake Crystal for $1.50. The
chief went to St. James and brought
the boy back to Mankato. The lad
gives his name as Merl Christman,
and says that his home is at North
Manchester, Indiana. He gave his
name to Capt. Andrews as Chas. Nc
Nay. He is fifteen years old and an
unusually bright boy, but has seen
considerable of the world since leaving
home. He was in Mankato about a
week.
Christman told a FREE PRESS re-
porter Saturday that he sold the
gun in order to raise money to buy a
boot blacks outfit. He went from
Lake Crystal to Madelia, and from
there to st. James. He went to
Window the day before Officer
Daniels searched for him in ST..
James. Yesterday he rode back to
St. James on the brake beam of a
freight car, and lost his backing out
fit. He went to St. James to attend
the county fair, and was about to ride
running horse in race when he
was told that the officers were looking
for him. He was arrested shortly
afterwards. He does not deny his
wrong doing. He will be arraigned to
morrow on the charge of petit larceny,
as the gun was only valued at $3.50

500 Reward 500

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's Stages and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known
to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being constitutional disease, re-
quires a constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken inter
nally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of
the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitu-
tion and assisting nature in doing it's
work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers, that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for
list of testimonials.

DACk BOUND OVER.
He Claims to be Able to Prove an
Alb, But Did Not Testify.

John Dack, who is charged with
burglary in the third degree in break
ing into H. G. McLean's house at Lake
Crystal on the night of Aug. 18th, had
his hearing before Judge Shissler Fri
day. The witnesses for the state were
Mr.. and Mrs. II. G. Mclean, Mrs.
Hiram Mclean, Sheriff Bowen, and
Chief of Police Nicholas J. Heimer, of
New Ulm. They told of the finding
of the house next morning burglarzed,
identified the goods found in Dack's
possession, and told Of Dack's having
offered the goods for sale in saloons
and his apparent desire to conceal
the articles.
When the state rested, Jean A
Flittie, attorney for the defense,
moved that the case be dismissed, on
the ground that the state had failed
to prove cause of action and had
failed to prove that the offense al
legged in the complaint or any other
offense had been committed. He
quoted the law to the effect that bur-
glary in the third degree is the break
ing into building with the intent to
commit crime. He said that there
was no evidence to show that the de-
PENDANT was ever around the premises.
The state must show that the de-
PENDANT got the goods unlawfully.
The fact that Dack went to New
UIm in daylight and tried to dispose
of the goods tends to show that he
had lawful possession of them.
County Attorney Hughes said that
possession of stolen property is prima
facie evidence against party, but

There is more Catarrh in this section
ofthe country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced
it local disease, and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly fail
ing to cure with local treatment, pro-
nounced it lncurable. Science has
proven catarrh TO be constitutional
disease, and, therefore, requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by +. J. Cheney
& Co., Toledo. Ohio, is the only con-
stituUional cure on the market. 1t is
taken internally in doses from 10
drops to teaspOonful. 1t acts
directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system. They offer
one hundrefdollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and

OLD BARNS BURN.
Four are Wiped Out of Existence Fri
day,Afternoon.
Several Were Insured, But the Loss
Was not Great.

At shortly after O'Clock Friday
afternoon fire was discovered in an
open shed in the rear of the City mill,
on Rock street. The passersby all ran
to the fire instead of turning in an
alarm, and Chicago & Northwestern
engine was the first to blow whistle
Finally an alarm was sent in from box
fourteen, and then one from box
twelve. When the department. ar
rived, three barns beside the shed were
on fire along the alley back of Aid.
Petersen's bottling works. The fire
was limited to the space where it was
burning, although there are numer-
GUS other old frame buildings along
the alley.
Mayer Bros. lost barn, which was
insured for 800, which about covers
its value. They had team of horses
in the barn, but it was rescued. This
barn was mostly used as storehouse
for old castings.
Fred Eichhorn lost barn, valued
at about 800, and having some in
surance. There was a buggy and
sleigh in the barn and
twenty-five cords Of split wood piled
near by, and some of this burned, the
firemen having difficulty IN getting
the fire out of the pile.
Geo. Rose lost barn, and Mr..
Hertzog, proprietor of the City mill,
which is now closed, lost shed.
These buildings were vacant.
The fire is supposed TO have been
started by some boys playing with
matches in the open shed.
The firemen had difficulty with the
hydrant at the corner of Front and
Rock streets, requiring the united ef-
forts of six men to close it to attac a
second line of hose.

The fire limits ordinance is to be
tested at Mapleton by C. H. Dietz,
who is to be prosecuted for not con-
forming with it. The Enterprise says
that Mr.. Dietz went before the
council and asked for building per-
nit covering small addition to his
building, said addition to be covered
with iron. The council granted the
permit, but upon investigation found
that the building being erected in
nowise conformed to the permit
granted. A halt was called and the
work discontinued for half a day, at
the expiration of which time it was
continued and is now nearing COM
pletion. The building is 26 by 30 feet
in size, two stories high, and it is the
intention Of the builder to cover the
same with iron. The case comes on
for trial next Wednesday.

r1ONEY WAS SPENT.
Nothing In Mrs. Boehnhart's Claim
That So, 900 Is Due Her.

Attorney H. L. Schmitt has letter
in his possession, dated two years
ago, from VAIL Bros, of Chicago,
which knocks out Mrs. Christine
Boehnhart's statement that Louis
Wahl has in his possession $4,000 in
surance money left her by her first
husbands death, and that the pay
ments of interest have stopped from
some cause or other. 1t appears that
VAIL was appointed her cOnservator
and guardian of her children. He
died two years before Jacob Boehn-
hart began his divorce proceedings.
The letter states that Wahl spent
the $4,000 on her and the children
and that the accounts were allowed
and Improved by the Cook county
courts. A son-in-law of Mrs. Boehn-
hart sent her 500 each quarter before
she was committed to the asylum, to
assist in her support.
Mr.. Schmitt states that a copy of
the summons and complaint in the
divorce proceedings was served on her
and on DR.. Tomlinson, superintend-
ent Of the asylum, when the suit was
started. Sheriff Block, of Nicollet
county, served the papers upon the
two personally and left copies with
them. AS Mrs. Boehnhart was insane
at the time, it may be that she did
not realize the nature of the action,
and that she did not know that her
husband had procured divorce until
six weeks ago, as she alleges.

was heartily greeted and acted upon

There is talk of building hand-hall
court on the roof of the present gym

The training quarters for the Y. NJ.

MAUI. May 19.-The citizens, of Ha-
ma held a meeting May Sd at Hama
Post Office to arrange for the proper
celebration of the coming Fourth of
July. Messrs. Ovenden, Muller. Omsted
and Wittrock were appointed a com

climbing a horizontal greasy pole eX-
tended over the water, a grand luau,
ETC. K. S. Gjerdrum, manager of Hama
plantation, has offered three medals
gold, silver and bronze-to be shot for
with rifles. Then there is another con-
test of like nature for a gold medal,
which must be won twice, and which
N Omsted has already won once. A
lanai is now being built near the land
ing for the proposed luau.
Waikiki people will attend the races
at Spreckels' Park, Kahului, and Ma

cream parlors whose walls have the
vivid coloring of turkey red. Refresh
ments are dispensed while waiting for
the train.
Wednesday evening (the 27th) La
