FRIEND IS COMING.
Response to kilograms Sent Re-
garding F. w. BaltZ.

Yesterday, Chief Wagon tele-
graphed to the chief of police of Chi
cago, asking him to look up the FAM
lily of f. w. Baltz, the man who
claims to have died and come to life
again in Mankato. Mr.. Wagon briefly
described Baltz's condition. Today,
Mr.. Wagon received the following
kilograms, both dated at Chicago to-
day:
Friend going to take charge OF f..
w. Baltz. L. p. COLLERON,
Chief Of Detectives.
Have sent some one from VirOqua.
Wis, to attend Mr.. Baltz.
MRS. f. w. BALTZ.
Baltz was confined in cell at The
city hall last night, but slept little
or none. He worked away at the bars,
saying that they were crooked and en-
deavoring to straighten them, while
the Precipitation rolled from him.
Sometimes he would talk as though
he was selling millinery goods, and
showed that he is a good salesman.
He became more nervous. and was in
much worse condition in this respect
today than yesterday. DR.. Davis was
called to treat him. He is in charge
of Officer Thilgen, who remains with
him constantly. What he Graves is
some kind of excitement, and the
officer is obliged to talk a good deal
with him.
Chief Wagon is thankful that some
one is to be sent tor Baltz, as he has
proved a burden to the police, 1t is
believed that the person who is COM
ing after him will arrive tonight or
tomorrow noon. The police have
taken Baltz's costly gold watch, for
fear that some one may get it away
from him.
Yesterday afternoon, Baltz was con-
fident that his family lived in Man
kato and that he could find the house.
He said that his family had moved
here five weeks ago, unknown to him.
He still insists that he died and came
to life again, and speaks about having
left his body and seeing two roads, a
rocky one leading to heaven and a
fine, new road going the other way
He tried to follow the rocky road, but
kept finding himself on the other road
every once and while.

ROUGH RIDERS.
Will Pass Through Mankato To-
morrow Afternoon.
Sioux Falls Company of Col. Grigs'
by's Cowboy Cavalry Will Go
Over the Omaha.

Mankato people will have another
chance to see Uncle Sans volunteer
soldiers. This time, the troops will
pass through by daylight. A special
train on the Omaha road will bring
the company of cow boy cavalery that
has been mustered in at Sioux Falls
for Col. Grigsby's famous regiment OF
Trough Rider" The train will leave
Sioux Falls tomorrow morning and
will arrive in Mankato sometime. be.
tween four and six o'clock in the az
ternoon, and be transferred to the
Chicago & Northwestern road, which
will take it to Chicago, from which
point it will 60 to the rendezvous.
The train will consist OF four sleep
ers for the men. two baggage cars for
the equipment of the men and horses,
and six stock cars for the horses.
Stock trains are usually.permitted to
travel only eighteen miles an hour,
but this will make twenty nine miles
an hour, owing to the desire to get
the company transported promptly.
Col. Grigsby's cowboy cavalry has
been recruited in several western
states and is expected to perform such
daring and effective services as will
make tia pride to the army and to the
country. Great care has been taken
in the selection of the men and they
bring their best western horses with
them.
IT has been a long time since a
cavalry company has been seen in
Mankato, and there will doubtless be
good turnout to see this one go
through. The stop in this city is
likely to be brief.

to Lady Has Terrible Accident

Mrs. L. Caswell, who moved awav
from Mankato year ago with her
husband and family to make their
home on a farm near Fort Ripley,

prove to be fatal accident, on Mon
day. She was burning some brush on
the farm, when her clothing caught

was severely burned. Medical aid
was summoned, and she was still
alive Tuesday noon, but it was
thought that there was no hope for
her recovery.
Mrs. Caswell resided in Mankato
for twelve or fifteen years before she
moved away. She is about forty
years of age and has a husband and
three children, the youngest being
seven years old. A sister, Mrs. Will
Craver, resides in this city. Mrs.
Caswell's friends and acqualntences
here will be shocked to learn of her
terrible accident.

Although the many friends of Ed

May 5th, 1898, being 10 years four
months and seventeen days of age
He leaves his father and mother, Mr.
and Mrs. Ephraim Masters. and three
sisters, besides large concourse Of
friends who mourn his death. Thus
ends the life of dutiful son, a loving
brother and true friend. 1t is in
deed sad for young man just prepar

away just as he is ready to step out in
to life's action.

Some of the sentenced inmates
of prisons have petitloned the
Executive to pardon them on condition
that they enlist and go into the army.
1t would be lasting disgrace upon the
soldiery of this country to have these
criminals placed upon an equal footing
with the boys who have gone from the
refined influences of the family circle
to fight for the honor of their country.
The American arms haye never been
upheld by criminals even at time when
men were far more scarce than at pres
ent and IL will not do to trust old glory
to the care Of men who haye been de-
prived OF their liberty by reason of
their crimnal acts.

A mammoth reproduction of the his
torical New England colony of Ply
mouth, Mass, as it appeared in 1921 is
being prepared by w. L. Williams, a
Plymouth artist, for exhibition at the
Trans-Mississippi exhibition. The
scene is laid in Puritan days and shows
the style of habitations in which the
pilgrim fathers lived and the quaint
dress worn in the early settlement of
Massachusetts, bay. The sturdy figure
of bold Capt. Miles Standish and his
men in fighting trim, Indians and other
characters will help to make the pro-
duction of still deeper interest. The
work will be exhibited in building
erected expressly for the purpose on
the amusement section of the exposi-
ton grounds and similar to the cy-
clorama of "The Battle of Gettysburg"
