drowned in North Mankato has been
fully established. He was not An
drew Hanson, the book binder, as
was reported and generally believed
yesterday afternoon, but HansNelson,
the father of Contractor Jacob Mel
son. Mr.. Hanson was found By his
sons this morning to be safe in his
house.
Mr.. Nelson, the deceased, was about
ffty-seven years of age, and leaves
several grown up children, including

RED daughters. His wife died about
seven years ago. He was a wood
sawyer and was known to many in
this city. He had purchased farm
at Ortonville, and intended to move
there soon. -.. ...... ..
There has been good deal of doubt
expressed as to the identity of the
drowned man. Carpenter Olson was
one of the load that was tipped over,
and he is sure that Mr.. Nelson was
the one who was drowned. Nelson
was seen.to get into the sleigh and
was warned not to go, on account OF
the danger. Charles Berg was driv-
ing toward the sleigh from the other
side when it tipped over, and he is
sure that Nelson was the one
drowned. 1t is now generally agreed
among those who witnessed the acct
dent. that but one man was drowned
There was a report today that the
body had been seon fast to barbed
wire fence near the old ball
park, but numerous persons
in boats rowed all about that neigh.

Oscar Bennett made thorough
search and said that the current

Doubtless Would be Bad For the Pop
i@ r Party

st. Cloud Journal-Press: ....-.--
Senator Greer's travelling library bill
is having hard road to travel in the
terday. One curious thing is that the
members from the country district,
which the bill would exclusively bene-
fit, voted against the measure, while
those residing in the cities, which
would receive no benefit whatever
from the proposed law, voted largely
for it. Populists, led by Donnelly, we're
against the measure to a man, and
evidently the Pops do not care to have
their constituents read good books.
