An Indian Girl.

In 1892 the "Segsr" school was
built in Oklahoma territory, among a
colony OF Cheyennes aud Arapahoes,
considered among the widest, most
backward and progressive Of all
Indians. Fortunately the superin-
tendent of the new school, Mrs. John
Seger, had already gained their con-
fdence in another capacity, 80 that
when they were asked to put their
children in school they said they
would as soon as they were weaned.
And they carried this out literally.
One OF the girl pupils, who entered
the school when it was opened, has had
quite remarkable record. Having
no previous education. and leaving
her really savage home for the first
time, she has demonstrated what odu.

CRABBE'S WEALTH.
The Pioneer Press Garnishees Money In
Chief Wagons Hands.

When the case of 81. f. Crabbe was
called In municipal court Saturday
forenoon, the court remarked that he
did not feel personally grieved but
that there ought to have been regu-
lar disposition Of the case by the Of
ficials. The officers had acted in good
faith, and Crabbe was taken by an Of
ficer for greater crime and this Of
ticer had priority of the court. If
!Crabbe had been held, it would only
have been an expense to the county.
as the ST. Cloud official would have
gotten him anyway when his time
was up. The court therefore sustain
ed the motion to dismiss the criminal
action and overruled the motion to
have Crabbe produced in court.
Disclosure was had in the garnishee
proceedings of the Pioneer Press Co.
VS.. IL. f. Crabbe, Chas. Wagon, gar
|nishee. Evan Hughes appeared for
the Pioneer Press Co. and w. L. Com
stock for Crabbe. Mr.. Comstock an
nOunced that he would make special
appearance for the defendant and
would object to the Jurisdiction of
the court and moved for dismissal
of the proceedings. He stated that
the ground for the motion was be-
cause the summons is returnable on a
day other than term day, and be-
cause no order has been made fixing
the day of return under this sum-
mons as term day. The motion
was argued by both attorneys and the
court took it under advisement and
allowed the proceedings to go on sub
ject to his future rulings.
Mr.. Wagon was sworn and stated
that he held S29 20 which he had
taken from Crabbe when he had
searched him in his official capacity
as chief of police,
Mr.. Comstock moved to dismiss the
proceedings on the ground that the
testimony showed that Crabbe was in
durance at the time of the service of
the garnishee proceedings, and that
the money in the hands of the gar
nishee came to him and is held by
him in his official capacity and there
fore cannot be garnisheed. The
court took the motion under advise
ment.

DID NOT SUCCEED.
Attempt Of the Enemy to Create Discord
in the Republican Ranks.

The Republican county committee
held well attended meeting Thurs
day afternoon. Over half the mem,
bers and some OF the candidates were
present. Optimistic reports were re-
ceived from all parts of the county,
and the election of the entire ticket
seems to be assured if the voters will
turn out at the polls week from next
Tuesday. The meeting was held
simply for the purpose of getting to-
gether and comparing notes.
1t developed that the fusionists
have been pursuing curious and I'M
demanded tactics for the purpose of
trying to -create disturbance in the
Republican ranks. A story will be
circulated around the home of one
candidate that another On the ticket
is working against him. Then a
similar story is circulated around the
HON of the other candidate, and in
this way an effort is made to get the
candidates and their friends fighting
among themselves This piece of
trickery on the part of the enemy has
been uncovered in time to Offset any
evil effects such as were calculated.

BEHIND THE ORDERS.
Knitting Mill is Having a Splendid Id
crease of Business.


The Mankato knitting mill is hav-
ing heavy run of business, and dur
ing the past three months has turned
out more goods than during any en-
tire year since it first started. Not
withstanding this, the mill is behind
the orders that have come in and
would give employment to fifty more
people if they could get them. 1t is
at present employing lis people and
has fourteen travelling men on the
road. A single order was received
yesterday from a small town in Iowa
for 100 dozen pairs of hosiery.
Over 81, 900 worth of new machinery
has been placed in the mill, and by
the first of next year it is hoped to
have the machinery installed for
turning ort underwear.
The new Office, which has been
made on the north end Of the old
fbreware building, is neatly finished
and papered. 1t is forty feet long by
twenty-five wide, and'a IF ords plenty
of room for the office force.
The mill has done business in the
past three months aggregating $50, 900.

SUIT THREATENED.
The City Asked to Pay $4,000
Damages. !,
Geo. VOsbeck Holds the Municipality
Liable for Injuries to his Wife
and Little Boy.

Notices were served on the mayor,
city recorder and eachs alderman
afternoon OF two claims against the
city of Mankato. One is from George
Vosbeck, who asks S15, 900 damages
for the injuries received to the hands
of his four year old son, Walter, Sept.
3Oth last. The other is from MIR. Vos-
beck's wife, Julia A. Vosbeck, who
asks for $4,000 damages for the in
juries which she received while trying
to rescue her boy from the pully into
which his hands were being drawn.
The notices recte that the injuries
were sustained "by reason of the
wrong doing, negligence, waut of
care, skill and attention on the part
of the city OF Mankato, it's officers,
servants and employees" because the
city and its officers had carelessly
permitted and caused dangerous
pulley, ropes, tackle and machinery
to be placed in the alley back of the
Stahl House, and to be operated
therein. Mr.. Vosbecks notice says
that the boy was there lawfully and
was injured by having his hands
pulled into the pulley. The boy lost
all the fingers Of his left hand and
two fingers of his right hand.
Mrs. Vosbeck's notice says that she
had the flesh from her hands scraped
