BACK FROM CALIFORNIA.
DR.. E. L. Halves Reports That the Man.
kato Colony is Prospecting.

DIR. e. L. Halves returned last week
from North Ontario, California
where he was present at the death Of
his wife, and, at her own request, in
tered her beside the remains of their
daughter at Ontario. Among those
who attended the funeral were Mr.
and Mrs. D. G.. Willard, DR.. and Mrs.
John Stafford, B. Tuttle. Mr.. and Mrs.
Ed. Swan, and Mr.. and Mrs. John G
Mobiles. Mr.. and Mrs. Willard are
living near San Bernardino, and Mr.
Willard is looking we'll. Mr.. and Mrs.
Mobiles are living at Ontario.
DR.. Halves visited the Alessandea
valley and found the McMahill family
fourishing. He took supper with Mr.
and Mrs. Frank Strunk at Riverside.
Mr.. Strunk has started lumber yard
He also saw Mr.. land Mrs. G. @. Quinn,
who have one of the finest orange
groves in Riverside. The Mankato
people are all healthy and doing well
and like their new homes.
On the train with DR.. Halves was a
returned Minneapolis Klondiker, who
was bringing home considerable
wealth. He said that the hardships
of that region are not over stated, and
he said that the chances of getting
gold are not sufficient to warrant a
man in going there. When he re.
turned from the interior, he saw men
who were on his boat and who had
not yet been able to get across the
pass.

GETS HER DIVORCE.
Mrs. Emma B. Laufman Testifies Against
Her Husband,

The divorce suit of w. A. Laufman
vs.. Emma B. Laufman was tried at
one o'clock Saturday fternoon before
Judge Severance. There was no ap-
pearance for the plaintiff, and w. N.
Plymat appeared as the defendants
attorney. Mrs. Laufman took the
stand and testified in her own behalf.
She said that her husband had sub
jected her to cruel and inhuman treat
ment, and had been guilty of habitual
drunkenness. She also testified that
her husband had been guilty of adul-
terry, committed in November, 1895.
Ellen Haggerty took the stand and
corroborated the testimony Of Mrs.
Laufman as to her husbands cruel
and inhuman treatment and habitual
drunkenness. A Mr.. Osborn testified
to the charge of drunkenness.
Judge Severance made an order
granting the divorce and granting the
defendant the right to resume her
maiden name of Emma B. Miller.
The action was originally commenc-
ed by Mr.. Laufman, who claimed that
his wife had attempted to poison him
with Indian hemp. He also made
other charges. Mrs. Laufman denied
all of these allegations and commence
ed counter action. Mrs. Laufman
now resides in Minneapolis.

A SMALL PROFIT.
Assignee M0ffatt Makes q Report to
Judge Severance.

Assignee Moffatt last week
made a report to Judge Severance on
the operation Of the knitting mill for
the six weeks from Dec. 9th to Feb
5th. The report shows that the mill
has been operated at small profit.
Judge Severance was satisfied with
the report, and the operation of the
mill will be continued until the date
of it's sale.
During the first part of the time
covered by the report, the mill was
turning out 12O dozen PER day, but it
is now turning out 200 dozen and is
running at profit. The orders that
are now in will keep the mill running
as it is now for the next five or six
weeks, or until the sale. This is very
gratifying and will be a source of
pleasure to all.

EVIDENCE ALL in.
The Loughrey Damage Suit to
be Argued Monday.
The. Railroad Puts on a Number of
Witnesses, and Some Rebuttal is
Offered.

The evidence is all in in the damage
suit of Mrs. Ellen Loughrey against
the Omaha road, and the case will be
argued Monday forenoon.
Friday afternoon, DR.. Warner
was followed on the stand by DR.. Knox
Bacon, of St. Paul. DR.. j. W. Andrews,
A. E. Clark, Eugene Thompson, of
Garden City, and Mrs Lamberton, of
Lake Crystal. That forenoon the de-
Tense continued it's evidence con-
tinued it's evidence by putting on the
stand Mr.. andMrs. VIM. II. Lefavor,
of Garden City, Mrs. Myra Carpenter,
of Vernon, Mrs. Josie Zoble and Mrs.
Amelia Stain, of Madelia, and Mrs.
Ella NOrlin, of st. James The
physicians testified along the same
line as DR.. Warner. and said that
they saw nothing from their examin-
alton Of Mrs. Loughrey to seem to
justify the apparent suffering and
nervous prostration exhibited by the
plaintiff in the court room. Mr..
Thompson is the bridge watcher and
said that he saw and talked with
Mrs. Loughrey after she was off from
the depot platform, and that she had
said nothing of having had a fall, and
walked briskly. Several witnesses
said that Mrs. Loughrey had visited
them at their homes in differe Mt
places, when canvassing week or
two after the alleged accident, and
that she seemed to be well and happy
Mrs. Norlin, wife of Theodore Norlin,
formerly of this city, was one of these.
The plaintiff called in rebuttal
Lorin Cray, DR.. Andrews, DR.. j. A.
Hielscher, DR.. VIM. Frisbie, DIR. A. 0.
Bjelland, DR.. F. D. Brandenburg, DR..
VIM. Jacoby and Mrs. Emma McNeal
DR.. Jacoby's testimony corroborated DR.
Braudenburg's evidence in the main,
and denied the principal features of
the evidence given by the physical ms
put on by the defense. He was sub
jected to scorching cross examina-
tion.
When Drs. Frisbie, Hielscher and
Bjelland attempted to testify on
material points in the case, they were
cut by the objection made by the de-
tense that their evidence was not
proper rebuttal. These physicians
had made an examination of Mrs.
Longhrey this morning and had in
tended to corroborate Drs. Branden-
burg and Jacoby.
The rebuttal was concluded by noon,
and when court opened this af ternoon
both sides said that they had no more
evidence to offer. Owing to it's being
legal holiday and the desire of some
of the jurors to 90 home, it was
agreed that the case should be argued
Monday, and the jury was excused
until 9 a. 10. of that day, and eau
toned not to listen to talk about
the case.

EIGHTEEN ROUNDS.
Savage Prize Ring Contest Sat-
urday Night.
Have it Out According to Glove
Contest Rules.

A glove contest was pulled off in
Mankato Saturday night and was wit
messed by small party of well known
people, who had been given the tip.
The fight was conducted in accor-
dance with the rules followed in tn e
American prize ring, and was a most
spirited contest from beginning to
finish, according to eye witnesses.
The affair was pulled off in a base
ment near the center of the city and
not very far from police headquarters.
The affair had been kept so quiet
that none of the officers of the law
were "on."
The contestants were white man
and colored man, and they had long
borne grudge toward each other. To
settle the question of which was the
best man, it was agreed to have it
out, la Corbett and Fitzsimmons.
Each chose seconds, and the tim e
keeper also acted as referee. The
ring was prepared and the men strip.
ped to the waist and went at each
other in three minute rounds.
By the time the twelfth round had
been concluded the white man was
evidently worsted, and was bleeding
badly. He had grit, and the fight
continued until he was worsted in the
eighteenth rOund The coIored how
anded strongly on his antagonist S
face, infiicting severe punishment.
The knock out blow sent the white
man back against sharp corner,
where his scalp was cut open. He
fell to the floor, bleeding profusely
and suffering much pain. The ten
seconds were called off, and as he was
unable to rise, the victory was
awarded to the colored man. The
contest is said to have been a savage
one. 1t was at first feared that the
white man had been badly hurt, but
friends worked over him during the
night, and his wounds were dressed,
and he was restored to good conditio n
by yesterday.
Those who took part and those who
were present are equally reticent as
to the affair, but sufficient has leaked
out to indicate that some people
were there who would exceedingly re-
greet to see their names in print.

THEY DISAGREE.
Doctors in the LOughrey Case
on the Stand.
The Defense Produces Evidence that the
laintiff Did Not Receive Severe
Injuries as Claimed.

"When doctors disagree" etc.
Whatever happens ordinarily, such a
circumstance in a personal injury case
is apt to have mystifying effect up
on the'jury. The doctors iu the Tough
reg case, triedin the sdistrict court
disagreed sadly on the most i'm.
portant points. The plaintiffs physi.
clans claim that Mrs. Loughrey was
very seriously injured internally by
her fall from the Garden City depot
platform, or some other cause. The
physicians summoned for the defense
say that she is suffering from nc
serious internal injuries such as the
plain tiff's witnesses claimed.
Thursday afternoon, VIM. Miller
j. w. Palmer, Ed. Norton and Burt
King testified for the defense, and
Friday Mrs. Burt King, Louie
Butterfeld, w. J. Osgood. Mrs. Anna
Anderson, Hattie E. Butler and Au.
gusta L. Donaldson testified on the
same side. The evidence of some Of the
neighbors was to the effect that Mrs.
Lougnery had complained Of female
troubles for years, and that she ap
peared to be as well as usual until the
time when the bringing of her suit
was published in the papers. Three
witnesses from Garden City testified
that at the time the train left Garden
City it was neither dark, cold mol
raining.
Friday DR.. G. f. Warner
was placed upon the stand. He said
that except for some slight female
complaint, he had found Mrs.
Lou ghrey's condition to be normal.
There was no such condition as had
been claimed. He said that what he
did find to be out of the way could
not have been caused by any sudden
fall. He said that he saw nothing
during the examination to account
for Mrs. Loughrey's appearance OF
suffering and Of nervous postration
exhibited by her in the court room
during the progress of the trial.
On cross examination, Mr.. Clark
asked series of questions evidently
intended to show, if possible, that the
witness did not have the knowledge
of specialist as to women's diseases.
He asked the witness whether he had
read long list of books which he
enumerated, and showed much fami-
liarity with medical terms and condi-
tions.
Drs Andrews and Bacon followed,
and testified to the same effect as did
DR.. Warner. DR.. Jacoby may be called
IN rebuttal by the plaintiff.
By request and agreement of the
parties to the suit, the court decided
to 90 on with sthe trial Saturday
although it is legal holiday. The
case will probably not 60 to the jury
before next week, as many witnesses
are yet to be examined.

THE CITY hEALTHPUL.

Health Officer Hielscher's report for
January shows four deaths and twenty
births. OF the deaths, three were
males and one female. The births
were evenly divided between male and
female. There were three cases of
scarlet fever during the month, but
all have recovered, and there are no
cases of cOntagion at the present
time. The death rate during Janu-
airy was 1888, which is less than any
month since DR.. Hielscher has held
the office,

The people of North Mankato are
beginning to talk up the question of
incorporation again. and the advo-
Gates claim to have received some &C.
cessions to their ranks. They say
that the leaven is working, owing to
high taxes and unfair assessments,
and that when the question is again
submitted it will surely carry. 1t is
likely that steps will be taken thi:
spring to secure another vote on the
question.

TRAIN SERVICE.
Poor Service Between Waseca
and MankatO Complained OF.
The Board of Trade Considers This Mat
ter and Also Endorses the Proposed
Postal Reform Law.

The first business before the board
of trade Monday was a communi-
cation from the Manufacturers Asso-
citation of Kings and Queens counties,
New York, asking the board to favor
the passage of postal reform bill, to
cut down the amount of stuff carried
as second class mail matter. A mo-
tion that the board endorse bill
along this line and that the secretary
be iustuscted to so inform the Mime
sofa senators and representative was
passed with but one opposing vote,
after brief discussion of the propos-
ed law. f. M. Currier was the only
opponent, and wanted the railroad
rates for carrying the mails cut down
so that merchandise could go through
the mails as second class matter.
Jno. N. Hall reported that the
manufacturing committee had met in
regard to the coming sale of the knit
ting mill and fibreware works, but
was not yet ready to report. 1t ex-
pected to meet again soon.

Mr.. Hance brought up the matter
of the poor train service between
Waseca and Mankato. He said that
if train for the east were to start at
about 1890 a. M. and get back at l1:30
p. M. it would be great benefit to
Mankato. At present, people will re-
main over night in Winona instead Of
in Mankato.
M. G.. Willard said that he had had
experience with the service. 1t takes
three or four hours to come to Man
kato from Waseca. distance Of only
twenty-eight miles. Mankato ought
to be the terminal point for the train,
instead of Waseca, and also should be
terminal point for sleeping Car SER
vice. Sleeping car tickets from Sioux
Falls and Sioux City cost so cents less
to Chicago than from Mankato.
On motion of Mr.. Hance, the mat
ter was referred to the railroad COM
mittee, to report at an early date.
