BROKEN WINDOWS.
Trouble at Madison Lake Settled Ami.
cably Today.

Attorney Evan Hughes was called to
Madison Lake Wednesday to appear
for the state in the case of four young
men under arrest and fifth one fol-
whom there is warrant out. 1t ap-
pears that between nine and ten
O'Clock on the night Of Nov. 9th, the
five came out of Fred W. Gabriel's
saloon and turned the corner. One
of the party was under the influence
of liquor, and as he passed the corner
he picked up an empty bottle and
broke four panes of glass in the saloon
building, Mr.. Gabriel made a com.
plant against all five of the
young men, charging them with
'using vile language and smashing
my windows" The complaint was
not exactly as prescribed by law, but
the four innocent parties were ar
rested and taken before Justice E. f.
Nettleton, who allowed them to 90
on their own recognizance. The
matter stood this way when Mr..
Hughes arrived. The four defend.
ants had employed G. d. Geddes as
their attorney.
Mr.. Hughes advised that the village
marshal at once arrest the fifth man
Chas. Reardon, which was done.
Reardon did not deny breaking the
windows, and settled the matter by
paying 81 to Mr.. Gabriel to replace
the window panes and the costs OF
the case, about $40. The other four
were discharged at Mr.. Hughes
suggestion.

Grand Jury's Report

The following are the principal
features of the report Of the grand
jury, presented yesterday afternoon:
We, the grand jury for the county
of Blue Earth, state of Minnesota,
report that on Saturday, Nov. 18th,
1898, we visited the poor farm and
found everything in proper condition;
that Supt. Lewis and wife are keep
ing the farm in excellent shape; that
the inmates are properly cared for
and no complaints were heard of the
management Of the poor farm. The
grand jury would, however, recon-
mend that the farm be supplied with
a Tiger drill, as machine Of that
character is deemed necessary, as it
will save grain and increase the crop.
The jury find thirteen male and
nine female occupants of the poor
house. The farm produces all pro-
dects used or needed. with small
surplus. The inmates are supplied
with fresh meat the year round.
The jury also visited the county
jail and found everything in first class
shape, and the inmates properly cared
for.
We would respectfully recommend
to the board Of county commissioners
of the county of Blue Earth that
they light the court house of said
county with electric light instead Of
gas, as now being done, believing that
the same would be more economical
and more convenient, and in every re-
spect is better adapted for lighting
public buildings of this character
than gas. And we would further re-
commend that action be taken in this
matter Immediately.

Conviction of Benz. Anderson on the
Charge of Picking Peter Thimsen's
Pocket.

The grand jury returned fourteen
indictments Tuesday afternoon,
making nineteen in all. Four or five

Taylor, Lucas Crane, Ernest Gensmer,
f. L. Aldrich.
Peter P. Thimsen, James ]. Weldon,
John N. Sanger and Walter Daniels
were sworn. The evidence of the
state tended to show that Anderson
had brushed up against Thimsen in a
crowd that was listening to band
playing in the evening. Anderson's
overcoat struck Thimsen's hat, and
Thimsen pulled his hands out of his
pocket to catch his hat. Thimsen
had one hand on his pocketbook up to
this time, and when he replaced his
hands in his pockets moment after
wards, his pocketbook was gone.
This morning, Anderson was placed
upon the stand in his own behalf, and
denied the charge against him
