IDENTIFIED BY MOUSSEAU
CHARLES NELSON, THE MAN
FOUND DEAD I'm THE RIVER

The Probability of Murder Is Dis
PEELED by the Finding of His sI6S,
Which He Had Left with r.. A,
Mousseau, a minneapolis Hotel
keeper--DrOwned Man Was a
Patient at Bethesda HospitaI,
The body OF Charles Nelson, found
in the river at the foot of jackson
street Friday, was yesterday positively
Identified by E. A. Mousseau, proprie-
tor of a hotel at 400 Central avenue,
Minneapolis. Mr.. Mosseau has in his
possession a certificate of deposit for
the money Nelson was known to pos
sess, this fact doing away with the
theory that Nelson was murdered for
money he was supposed to have with
him. Nelson was In i'll health and was
threatened with the loss of his eye
sight. 1t is generally believed by his
friends that he became Respondent
over his physical ailments and Jumped
into the river.
Nelson formerly lived at Mountain
Iron, as was supposed from the letters
found on the body. While in Minneap-
Oils he boarded at Mousseau's hotel
and left a certificate Of deposit for $165
with the proprietor. Last Sunday he
came to this city and went to the Be-
thesda hospital to have his eyes treat
ed. He left the hospital Monday and
did not return. Nelson was so nearly
blind that he sometimes had to be
guided about the streets, and it is be-
lieved possible by some that he may
have unknowingly walked into the riv-
er. The body was buried yesterday aft
hxyN F0CD VI NV p
an order from the health department.
Nelson surely did not commit sui
eide because Of poverty, for he is the
owner of 500 acres Of land in Louisiana,
and Mousseau holds certificate Of de-
post for $165 that was handed to him
by Nelson the last time he saw him
alive. Mousseau put in an appearance
in the probate court and asked to have
Coroner Nelson made administrator for
the dead man.
Mousseau says that the dead man
was a miner. and that he recently came
from the Iron Range. Last Sunday
morning Nelson was brought to Nous
seau's house by a Minneapolis police
man and left there The man had been
horribly mlsused, one Of his eyes being
apparently torn out and the other
closed up. He was weak from loss Of
blood. Mousseau took Nelson to Dr.
Topper, and was advised to take him
to the Bethesda hospital in st. Paul
He brought Nelson over and left him
at the hospital. Before he left Nelson
handed him the deed to the Louisiana
property and the certificate Of deposit
That same afternoon Nelson left the
hospital and was not again seen alive.
3 The police have been notified that
brother of Nelson s. will be here today
or tomorrow, and the affair will be
thorOl1 phly investigated.

Frontenac Was the Place, and $500
People Went to the Grounds to
Enjoy the Annual Outing of the
Railway Office Men ard Women
and Their Friends-Everyb body
Had n Good Time.
The greatest picnic ever held in the
state of Minnesota was that Of the
railway clerks, which was given at
Frontenac yesterday. More than $500
persons attended It. They went to the
picnic grounds by train and steamer,
and SO we'll were the details worked
out beforehand that there was not q
hitch or an accident of any kind dur
ing the entire day
The steamers Henrietta and VERNE
Mac and the two barges, which started
for the picnic grounds Friday night,
carried about 800 picnicers Of both sex
es who did not care for the absence Of
orchestras, but were bound to have
good time all the same. And though
the weather was exceedingly unpro-
pitious yesterday morning, hundreds
We're at the union depot to take the
special trains which went to Maiden
Rock i'm the morning.
To the surprise of every one in
charge Of the arrangements for the
picnic, the train which left the union
depot at 1880 a. m. on the Burlington
road carried 287 passengers for the
grounds. The regular train which left
at 8:15 took only forty five passengers
for Maiden Rock, but the o'clock spe-
cial was crowded. The union depot
seemed too small to contain the num-
Der Of picnicers who wanted to go on
that train. It was composed of eight
cen cars, and the total number of pas
sengers carried by it was 1,020 from this
city and 1872 from Minneapolis.
The special train which left the union
depot at 80 p. m. was made up OF
eighteen coaches. and it carried 800
passengers from the Twin Cities.
The total number carried by the
trains was 1888, to which is to be add
ed those who went by boat from this
city and Minneapolis and those who
went from Red Wing and Lake City.
In ALL forty-six railway coaches were
used for the picnic. They were con-
tributed by the several lines centering
in this city and Minneapolis.
There were three specials. The first
was in charge Of Conductor F. MCCAIN
bridge and Engineer G. G. King. The
second was manned by Conductor 3. A.
Mitchell and Engineer N. A. Gray. The
third was run by Conductor F. H. Heth
and Engineer G. w. Sims.
Capt. Durant was in command of the
Henrietta, which carried the st. Paul
crowd to the picnic grounds. The Hen
rietta left this city at $50 Friday night
and did not arrive at Frontenac until 9
a. M Yesterday. The trip down the
river was a gloomy and wet one. 1t
rained all night. and the picnickers
had a dismal time Of it, but, when they
arrived at the picnic grounds, the sky
cleared, and during the rest Of the day
the sun shone brightly.
Those who left the city yesterday
morning expecting to find disagreeable
conditions prevailing at Frontenac were
agreeably disappointed. They found
the weather very good and improving
every hour, and they were encouraged
to believe that the picnic would not
prove such a failure after all. And
they were right AS the successive
train loads Of passengers landed at
Maiden Rock and were conveyed across
the lake to Frontenac, it was evident
they were all bent on having a good

time. They swarmed upon the boat
decks until the captains were afraid
to take any more. and they were carried
to the western shore of the lake. where
they found dancing pavilions and brass
bands and other attractions. Those
who did not care to dance were able
to roam about the woods on the bluff
or take steamer trips to Lake City and
Red Wing. great many ayailed
themselves Of this chance, and during
Inc DAY the steamers made two trips
to those places.
In the afternoon a game of base
Pail was played by the st. Paul and the
Minneapolis railway clerks teams. Thu
result OF the game was a victory for
Minneapolis, the score being 2 to O..
There was much disappointment on the
part of the St Paul men, but they
swallowed their chagrin.
The afternoon was passed in danc;n o
and making excursions to places alou 2
the lake until 5 o'clock, when the first
train left Maiden Rock for St. Paul
Inc boat was not very we'll filed. but
when 1t made it's second trip for the 2
p. m. train it was crowded.
The o'clock train was one of the
longest trains ever seen in the West.
1t was composed of eighteen coaches,
and every coach was filled. The train
arrived in this city at midnight.
a great many Of the pcnickers re-
manned behind and took passage on the
steamers, which left the picnic grounds
at 1890 o'clock. The boats Will arrive
at st. Paul about 10 o'clock this morn

Every detail Of the picnic was looked
after and during the day there was not
thing that required special attention.
