GRIGSBY'S RIDERS.
Passed..Through Mankato Friday
Afternoon.
South Dakato's Cowboy Cavalry Starts
For Cuba and Will See Some
Fighting.

The special train over the Omaha
road bearing the South Dakota con-
tingent of Col. Grigsby's regiment of
rough riders" left Sioux Falls at 8 80
o'clock Friday, and stopped for
dinner at St. James. A stop was made
at Madelia to feed and water the
horses, and the train reached Man
kato at 3:45 p. m. Bulletins during
the forenoon had announced that 1T
would arrive at about 2:15 p. M, and the
crowd began to assemble at the union
depot as early as 200 o'clock. 1t was
constantly augmented, and by $3.50 p.
M. numbered fully two thousand.
The train came in one section, con-
sisting of three sleepers, two coaches.
seven stock cars and one box car, The
sleepers and coaches carried 100 men,
including the officers, and the stock
carried 123 horses. The latter were
picked from 500 horses that were
brought in to select from.
Ernest Wilkes, who has been re-
porter on several papers, was on the
train and from him we received the
information as to the number OF
horses and men. He states that all
of the men are splendid riders and
sharp shooters. All are enthusiastic,
and are pleased with the service thus
far
The train pulled out after about
five minutes stop, the Omaha engine
having been exchanged for North
western engine. The Northwestern
road will take the train to Chicago,
and then it will be taken south to
some point, said to be Tampa, Flor
ida. 1t is believed that this regi-
ment will be part Of the first troops
to be landed in Cuba, and that it will
be used as a cavalry screen in front
Of the infantry on the marches,
and do scouting duty. 1t will
surely see fighting il any is done, an6
some of the boys who went through
today may not return. They are
brave and lusty appearing company.
They will be uniformed in brown
ducking, with riding trousers. leg.
gings and broad brimmed hats, and
will be armed with carbines, re-
volvers and short swords.

is commanding officer goes by way Of

REPUDIATES 1T.
Ed. Weaver Not Responsible for
RumorS Afloat.

Ed. Weaver emphatically denies
that there is any effort being made on
his behalf, with his knowledge, to Sc
cure for him the Republican nomina-
tion for congress in this district. He
has stated repeatedly to the editor of
this paper that he is not and will not
be candidate or allow his name to
be used in any manner whatsoever in
connection with the office. He has
also gone on record to this effect
through the papers of the state, and
if anyone is working in his behalf it IS
without his knowledge and consent,
and be repudiates such efforts.
The convention is now only about
five weeks off, and Mr.. McCleary's
nomination by reclamation seems to
be aforegone conclusion. Mr.. Weav-
er cncedes this fact.

can as well be organized at the county

BOYS ARE WELL.
Mankato Volunteers Write Home
From Camp Thomas.


Toney Kieffer writes from Camp
Thomas, Chickamauga Park, that he
has been detailed to hospital duty,
filling prescriptions. He says that
the Mankato boys are all well and
that there is nothing to do at the
hospital now. He is enjoying the
camp life, and speaks of the great
number of soldiers there and the diff
Guilty which the railroad had to I'M
load it's cars at the park. He prom
ised to send to DR.. Follman a box of
relics from the battlefield, which are
numerous.
Mark Coffin has written back to his
parents from the same camp, and says
that he is well and enjoying soldiers
life. He speaks of the great heat
there, saying that it was SO degrees at
100 a. M, and that the newspapers
there said that the Minnesota regi-

and asking how they liked the change.

LOST THE TRAIL.
Sheriff O'Bani0n Takes Fred Nelson to
Storm Lake.

Sheriff O'Banion returned Thursday
from his search for Walter Giddle.
He struck the trail of the fugitive at
Winnebago City and followed as far
south as Algona, Iowa, from which
point he returned. He believes that
Giddle made toward Fort Dodge.
The sheriff left Friday afternoonsfor
Storm Lake, taking Fred Nelson
with him. Nelson made no opposi.
tion to remaining in jail so long or to
leaving the state, and will probably
plead guilty.
Had Sheriff O'Banion told the
police all that he knew, both Nelson
and Giddle could have been arrested
last Sunday night. By keeping his
information to himself his plans
failed.
