OFFERED $1,000 FOR A VOTE
RECENTLY.
WILLIAM MANGLER Is HERE
THE GUEST OF HIS BROTHER, 4
LOCAL WHOLESALE LIQUOR
DEALER.
VISITED THE LAKE LAST NIGHT,
And Therefore Could Not BE Inter-
viewed as to His Sudden De-
parture from Chicago.

Aid. William Mangler of Chicago,
has been in st. Paul. Indeed, this is
his haven of refuge. Last evening he
spent at White Bear lake, but that was
only because he liked the fishing there
The Cook county grand jury would
like to hear the sound of Mr. Managers
voice, but he is a peculiar man. He
has peculiar tastes. One of his quaint
fancies is that his voice sounds better
wooing the succulent sunfish from the
star-lit bosom of White Bear, than it
would reverberrating in the stuffy con-
hnement of an inQu-S.tion chamber. 1t
may be that this was the reason that
Mr.. Mangler left Chicago on the fast
est train that he could find, leaving his
Metropolitan home for the comparative
seclus1on of Ramaley's, at White Bear
lake.
Aid. Mangler told some of the Off
Gals in Chicago that he was offered
$1,000 for his vote to pass the general
electric ordinance over Mayor Harri-
sons veto, The grand jury heard this,
and it sent for Mr.. Mangler. It's mes
senger. however, does not yet know
that Aid. Mangler is alternating in
this picturesque portion of the terres-
trial footstool. Possibly he does not
know whether to look for Mangler in
Boscobel or the Zuyder Zee That may
rot be his fault. 1t is not understood
that Mr.. Mangler when he left Chicago
stuck any placards on conspicuous lamp
posts announcing his destination.
Mr.. Mangler, according to the Chroni-
Gle, was seen in Chicago by reporter
of that paper, as recently as by any one.
That was just before he started for
the ball game. The reporter seems
to have thought it was the ball game
in Chicago that Mr.. Mangler was going
to seee, but it now develops that he
came all the way to st. Paul. possibly
to see Mcbride play.
What the grand jury wants to find
out from Mr.. Mangler is who offered
him the $1,000. Not to be outdone in
enterprise by the grand jury, the Chi
cago reporter asked him that first. Mr..
Mangler replied, it says, that he would
not tell Indeed, he intimated that
before he would divulge the identity OF
his kindly intentioned benefactor, he
would wait until his frontispiece look
ed like the dolls figure supplement of
New York Sunday paper. The news
paper reports the interview as follows:
will you tell the states attorney" he
was asked.
No, 1 will not" was the emphatic reply
will you tell the grand jury?''
Never"
''Will you refuse to tell the grand jury If
you are summoned?" 'rF-,
Il will never tell the name. would have
my heart cut out first ---..
Why have you, changed your decision re-
garding the revealing of this name?''
Because 1 think somebody was trying to
play joke on me about that alleged offer of
a bribe''
The Chicago newspaper also reports
avisit to Mr.. Manglers place of bust
ness, at which it was reported that he
had gone by the ball game alretty
yet" and then proceeds to explain that
researches of his own have showed
how at that time he was mostly pack
ing his trunk for his exodus.
Aid. Mangler is a brother of Edward
Mangler, of Welz & Mangler, proprie-
tors Of the Sterling Wine house of this
city, and is his brothers guest at pres
ent. He could not be reached last night
for an interview, as he was enjoying
the beauties of White Bear
