VALUE OF TARGET PRAC
TICE

1t has been well demonstrated so
far in this war, that the American
gunners are the best marksmen in the
world. The Minneapolis Journal ex-
plains how it is that they are such. 1t
says;
SIN recent years the little Ameri-
can navy has spent three times as
much money for target practice as
the combined navies of France, Eng
land and Germany. For two years
the Spanish have spent moth.

If the practical work that was per

been followed in other lines of mill

States would have found itself in q

when this war burst upon us, and
could have pushed it in a much more

A RESURRECTION.
F. w. Baltz Claims to Have
Died May 4th.
States the Circumstances Surrounding
His Death and How he Fooled
the Watchers.

Did f. w. Baltz die May 4th and
subsequently return to life? He claims
that he did and tells the circum-
stances. Baltz is travelling man,
whose home is in Chicago, but who
has been in Mankato more or less for
month past. He claims that one
week ago last Wednesday, while in
this city, he died suddenly and was
laid out and all preparations made for
the funeral, but that he arose from
the dead at midnight Of the day fol-
lowing and nearly startled the senses
out of the watchers.
| Mr.. BaltZ is stylish dressed and
intelligent appearing young man of
about thirty years. The only thing
that distinguishes him from other
men in his profession is restlessness
in his demeanor and in his brown
eyes. He seems to be thoroughly con-
WINGED of his recent death and resur-
rection, and has conversed with
several people about it today.
Said Mr.. Baltz to Free Press re-
porter Wednesday,: 81 have been
travelling since Jan. 1st for Liederer,
Strass & Co., of Des Moines, Iowa,
who do large wholesale millinery
L gave up my position May 18th, be-
cause l was not able to continue at
work, owing to my health.
II was in MankatO on
May 4th, and suddenly noticed
blood dripping from my head. l could
not stop it, and two doctors were sum-
moned. They told me if they could
not stop the bleeding, which seemed
to be due to hemorrhage of a blood
vessel, 1 would die within an hour.
The blood kept on dripping, dripping,
running out of my forehead, and l
soon felt myself sinking away in
weakness and death. 1 died on an
hours notice, when l had been per-
fectly well and happy before.
81 was laid out in bed and prepared
for my funeral. My body was washed,
the clothes prepared, and all Of the
funeral accessories were lying about
in the room which my body occupied
1 had no consciousness, however.
Eighteen hours after l died, or just
at midnight, sat up. An old man
and his wife were watching by my
bedside and they were greatly start
led by my returning to life. l felt
hungry and called for food. My death
was a most peculiar thing, and 1 can
hardly explain it satisfactorily.
II was at the hospital for few
days last week, but did not remain
long enough to receive the benefit
would have received if l could have
remained longer. [ want to &C
back there or else go out into the
country where can get rest"
Mr.. Baltz's condition was called to
the attention of Chief Wagon today
and he has telegraphed to Baltz's wife
at Chicago, asking what shall be done
with her husband. Mr.. Baltz has very
little money left, and something must
soon be done for him. 1t is believed
that he is temporarily unbalanced
owing to drink or some other cause
but the county and city officials do not
desire to put the county to the ex
pense of having an examination as tt
his sanity and sending him home il
there is any other course to pursue
In the absence of probate judge
such an examination would be hello
before Court Commissioner Evar
; Hughes.
