HARVESTED BY HAIL.
Crops in Southwestern Minnesota
and South Dakota Badly
Damaged.

The ST. Paul Pioneer Press CORES
pondent at Adrian reports severe
hail storm in that sectionFridayeve
ing, and says it was the worst hail
storm in the history of the country.
Hail stones averaging the size of hen s
eggs and larger fell for half an hour.
All crops are total loss in strip of
country six or eight miles wide and Of
unknown length. Reports that were
received from ten miles northwest of
Adrian show the storm to have been
Of great extent. Windows on the
east and north sides were broken and
many sheep, hogs and chickens were
killed.
A Luverne dispatch to the Pioneer
Press says that hail storm covering
a strip three miles wide and extend
ing over several townships destroying
the entire crop visited that section
Friday. Henry, S. D., was also
visited at the same time with a most
destructive hail storm and the crops
over a wide section of country were
devastated. Many farmers lost their
entire crops. This storm is one of the
most injurious to crops of any that
has visited the northwest this season.

ANSWERED HER QUESTIONS.
A Grass Widow from Blue Earth
County Takes Inquiry.

The Crookston Daily Tribune of the

supposed series of questions put tC
Sylvester Peterson, of the land office
there, by grass widow of this county
and the answers that he makes to
them, Whether the article is earnest.
ness or jest our readers may Judge
from the following extract from Mr.,
Peterson's alleged reply:
BUTTERNUT, Mimi, Blue Earth Co.
DEAR Mr.. PETERSON: II you will
be so kind as to do service for grass
widow that gets no good out of heI
husband, and answer me few queS-
lions about the Northwestern part of
Minnesota, l will be ever SO much
/ can.
P. S.-What l want to know, is:
@. Is the water good up there?
A. Many people use it for washing,
and strangers drink it without evil
effects.
@, Is there any timber?
A. Very much, indeed.
@. Where?
A. From the ground up.
@. And what kind?
A. More kinds than we could men
tion. There is especially good polit-
ical timber, and all kinds of trees.
Q. Are there any lakes?
A. Lakes as clear as crystal, pure
as purity run through filter, and
calm, placid and Elysian. Lakes that
stretch out in the silver moonlight,
and reflect the lunar glory soft as the
love light in the eyes OF a devoted
lover. Lakes margined with softest
foliage and low trees, bowling to kiss
the water and cOquette with the
shadows they create. Lakes that are
the home of the shyest waterfowl, land
upon whose bosom the crazy loon and
chattering mallard mingle with the
toothsome teel and restless gull to
pass in serene security the happy
days. Yes, indeed, old girl, if it's
lakes you are after, this is the spot.
@. Are there any wild animals and
what kind?
A. Yes. Buffaloes, elephants and
jack rabbits.
@. How is the climate?
A. Pretty we'll, thanks. How are
all your folks?
@. Has grass widow the right to
take homestead?
A. The grass widows already here
have taken everything they can lay
their hands on. In fact the widows
we have turned out to grass in this
section have taken more hOmesteads
and divorces than all other kinds COM
bined. Yes, grass widows do well
here.
@. Has a grass widow right to
take homestead when she has not had
any benefit of her husbands home
stead?
A. You bet. Come right along.
No trouble to show goods. Leave
your husband where he is. He will
not do we'll here. Send your applica-
tion direct, and apply for just what
you want.
Yours sincerely,
SYLVESTER PETERSON,
AND OTHERS.

LOOKING FOR THIEVES.
The St. James Sheriff and Deputy
Visit the City.

Sheriff Geo. w Forsyth and Deputy
Sheriff J. L. Bird, of st. James, were
in the city Friday in search of two
men who are wanted at st, James for
a robbery committed four miles from
from there on July 1st. That day
Ringing Bros circus exhibited at ST..
James, and two farm houses were
broken into and looted during the
absence of the occupants, who were
in town attending the circus. Three
or four suits of clothing and couple
of watches and other personal proper
ty was stolen.
Two well known characters from
this city we're seen at St. James that
day, and soon after the time of the
robbery two men answering the des-
cription were seen going toward the
town from the direction of the farm
houses where the robbery occurred.
Suspicion pointed to the two men and
the officers decided to come to Man
kato today to pursue their investiga-
tions. The police force was called
upon for assistance in developing evil
dence of tangible nature, as the St.
James officials did not care to make
any arrests unless they were reason
ably certain to be able to convict
their prisoners. They were not sue.
cessful in this, as no trace Of the
stolen goods could be found.

WANTS TEXT BOOKS.
Cyrus filler Makes Complaint TO
Judge Severance,

Judge Severance today received
the following letter from Cyrus Mil
Ter, alias Gray, of school house fame:
MANKATo, Mimi, Aug. 2, 1897.
HON. JUDGE SEVERANCE,
MankatO, MINI.
KIND SIR: l have asked a number
or times during my continent of
nearly two months in the jail here to
be allowed to have my books, mostly
text books, and have yet not been al
lowed to do so. I do not think Sheriff
Bowen intends for me to have them
at all, or l should not bother YOU
about it. l understand that you are
the proper one to make complaint to
and ask your just consideration.
Very truly,
CYRUS MILLER.
Judge Severance replied to him to
the effect that if any of his books
teach the lesson that "Thou shalt
not steal" he could have them to
read.
1t is not known whether the books
that Miller claims were some of those
stolen from Blue Earth county school
houses or not.

THE OPERA HOUSE CURTAIN.
Manager HoeffIer Has Occasion to
Consult Legal Talent

Jack Hoeffier consulted with County
Attorney Hughes Friday in regard to
Mr.. Brown, the man who painted the
new curtain al the opera house.
1t appears from Mr.. Hoetfier's
statement of the case that
Mr.. Brown was to solicit the
advertising and paint the signs
on the curtain and receive half
the proceeds, while Mr.. H. was to
hang the curtain at the opera house
for eighteen months and receive the
other half of the proceeds. The con-
tract was merely verbal one. Mr..
Brown came to Mankato from Fair
mont and brought his wife and child
with him.
The advertisements on the curtain
brought about $50 or 800, and MIR.
Hoeffler states that Mr.. Brown was
to collect the money and divide this
morning Mr.. Brown made the COL
lections, but Mr.. Hoeffler learned this
morning that the curtain painter had
gone to New Ulm. On receiving this
information he looked the matter up
little and found that Mr.. Browns
wife and child had gone to New Ulm
with him. He also found that Mr..
Brown did not receive cash for all OF
the advertisements, but due bills for
oh hn loft hnhinH Thnn
Mr.. Hoeffler consulted the county at
torney and laid the above informa-
tion before him and asked his advice.
Mr.. Hughes advised him to investi-
gate further and learn if he could
from Brown himself what his inten-
tions are. 1t is thought that the cur
tain man may have gone to New Ulm
simply in the ordinary course of bust
ness, and until the contrary is learned
no legal steps will be taken.
Mr.. Hoeffier learned later that Mr..
Brown did not 60 to New Ulm but to
St. Peter, and Sheriff Bowen went to
the latter place to see what he in
tends to do.
Sheriff Bowen was unable to find
anything of Brown, the curtain paint
er, at St. Peter Friday. Brown
and his family had been there. but
had silently taken their departure
for parts unknown. Manager Hoetfier
states that unless Brown comes back,
which he has little hopes of, he will
be out about $S5. He states that as
he has no written contract with
Brown he could not hold him. How
ever, he will hang the curtain at the
opera house, as agreed.

FOUR BROKEN LIMBS.
Two Amateur Trapsze Performers
Come to Grief.
August Halter Receives a Psrticu-
larry Bad Injury.

Saturday afternoon the seven year
old SOD Of Mr.. and Mrs. Anton Kohl,
who reside al No. 1924 North Fifth
street, met with a painful accident.
He and some other boys had rugged
up trapese and were endeavoring to
initiate the acts performed by Ring
ling Bros and Barnum & Baileys'
trapese performers. They had neg
lected to take the precaution that
the circus arrangements did and had
no net or mattress underneath the
amateur trapese to catch them in
Case of accident. When the bar
slipped from the grasp of young Kohl
he fell with his entire weight upon
the ground, and his right arm was
broken between the wrist and elbow.
DR.. J, A. Hielscher was summoned
and reduced the fracture.
At about eight o'clock Saturday
evening another trapeze accident
happened. Willie Bienapfi, who lives
with his widowed mother on Guenther
hill, was doing trapeze performance
and endeavoring to closely emulate
what he had seen at the circuses. He
attempted to jump from a spring
board and catch a trapeze, but the
board had more spring than he calcu-
lated upon, and he went over the
trapeze and fell upon his arms. His
right arm was broken above the ell
bow, one being fractured. Or. Hiel-
scher responded to call. 1900
A more serious accident happened
Friday. August Halter, who lives
four miles from the city on the Eagle
Lake road, was engaged in stacking
hay, and was on the wagon loading.
When the load was nearly completed
and he was well up in the air, the
team became frightened at some
thing and ran away. Mr.. Halter was
thrown from the load and his left leg
was broken between the ankle and
knee. 1t was what physicians term
compound comminuted fracture.
Both bones were broken, and in such
way that the ends were shattered
and protruded from the flesh. Dr.
Hielscher was called upon to attend
the sufferer and has the case in
charge.
A week ago Sunday, little
daughter of Ed. Dubke, who resides
in North Mankato, was injured while
playing on pile of ties. Some of the
ties rolled over and fell on her, and
her left leg was broken half way be-
tween the knee and hip. DR.. Hiel
scher was sent for and set the frac
ture which will keep the little girl in
the house for some time.

DROWNED WHILE SWIMMING.
Willie Robinson, of Lake Crystal,
Drowned at Garden City.
Went In With Others, But Was Not
Missed Until Evening.

A sad accident happened at Garden
City Thursday afternoon. A number
of Lake Crystal people were there
attending a joint Presby-
terian and Methodist picnic,
and many of them went in bathing in
the river near the fair grounds during
the afternoon. Among them was
Willie Robinson, the ten year old
adopted son of Joseph Robinson, of
Lake Crystal. Although he went in
sometime during the afternoon with
others, he was not missed until the
party started to 60 home in the even
ing. Then search was made and his
clothing was found on the bank of the
river where he had placed it. He had
drowned without giving any alarm
that could be heard by any one, and
the cause is mystery.
Search was made for the body and
it was found at about 10 o'clockFriday
forenoon some little distance below
where the clothing was found. The
body was removed from it's watery
grave and taken to E. T. Norton's
hotel where it remained until this af-
ternoon. The boys father was at
work for Mr.. Barnes, at Vernon Cen
ter and was informed Of the death of
his son. Coroner Paddock inVesti-
gated the case this afternoon.
The number of deaths by drown
ing in this county this year
has passed the usual figure
and the summer is only half
over. Doubtless the higher stage of
the water in the rivers and the
swifter currents has had something to
do with this.

knife on July 26th or 9th. He de-
MES the charge. Zempel is farmer

LOST AN BYE.

Charles Goodell, of Belgrade, a
brother-in-law of Attorney @. L..
Benedict, met with a painful and
serious accident while pitching hay
Friday. He was standing on "a
wagon and the horses started to back,
when his companion raised his fork
to strike them. One of the tines of
the fork struck his left eye and in
jured 1t so badly that it will be
derived of sight. Mr.. Goodell con-
suited DR.. James and there are hopes
that the eye will not have to be
removed but will retain it's proper ap-
pearance.

AN EXCITING RUNAWAY.
Miss Hay, of Watertown, N. Y,
Has q Narrow Escape.

At about half past twotoclock Sum
terday afternoon, team standing in
front of NJ. o. Sundt's residence, on
Clark street started prematurely
and finally ran away. Miss
Hay, of Watertown, N. Y,
asister of Mr.. Sundt's son-in-
law, who is visiting at Mr.. Sundt's.
was sitting in the back seat of the
surrey and the reins were wound
around the whip stock. The team
dashed along Clark street to Byron
and then turned down the hill and
made mad run down Second street.
Miss Hay was naturally much
frightened and her cries probably
served to hasten the speed of the
horses. A number of persons tried to
stop the team but failed. On turn
ing the corner of Second and Hickory
streets, the horses fell and Miss Hay
jumped just before the carriage turn
ed over. She fortunately escaped with a
few scratches, and the team was soon
afterwards stopped. The runaway
which was very wicked one, was
witnessed by a large number of
people.
Miss Cerolina Sundt jumped from
the rear seat when the team started.
Mrs. Hay had taken hold. of the
reins to turn the horses so that she
could get into the surrey, and the
team took this as a signal to start,
before Mrs. Hay could get in to hold
them.
