went to Nebraska three or four years
ago. He was one of the pioneer set
tiers in this country and experienced
the hardships of frontier life. He raised
an estimable family, and always en-
joyed the confidence and high regard of
all who knew him. His death will be
regretted by all.

The evidence was all gotten IN
Tuesday afternoon and County AT
torney Hughes had completed his ar
gument before supper. Wednesday
A R, Pau ST., who has been associ-

charge to the jury followed.
The witnesses for the state examined
Tuesday afternoon were Walter
Daniels, Sidney Heggerness, VIM,
Olmstead, John Stevens, Nicholas
Bruels and Fred Gerlich,
Frank Tanning was placed on the
stand on his own behalf and declared
that he had no hand in the assault or
robbery and knew nothing of the mat
ter until after it had happened. He
endeavored to prove that he was
elsewhere at the time of the
assault, which occurred some
where from 6:1O to $50 p. m. He
said that at about p.C I'm, he
went into Dominick Osters saloon and
there saw VIM. M. Preston and Patrick
Kelly having some words over fifteen
cents. Preston appeared to be intoxi-
Gated, and the bar tender, John Hager,
led him to the rear door and advised
him to go to the Harper House, where
he was staying. Kelly left soon after
and then Tanning and Wagner went
out intending to go to the opera house,
where Wagner's brothers were work
ing. Tanning and Wagner had reach
ed the corner of Front and Wal
nut streets when they saw Pres
ton and Kelly again having
words by the pop corn stand.

and leave Kelly to himself. The three
then walked up Walnut street to Broad,
north on Broad to Main, down Main to
the Harper House, and through the
alley and into Alexander Peterson's
saloon by the rear door. Here the

leaving the other two in the saloon.

Larson's saloon, and was there from
6:15 to $50. From there he went di-
rectly to Chas. Funks saloon and re-
manned there until TAO p. m. Then he
heard of Wagners arrest and he went
to the city hall to see him. He told
Louis Kruse to see Wagner aud tell him
not to say anything to the reporters.

fed to seeing Tanning in their places at
the hours named by Tanning.
Richard Showers and Martin Murray
testified to meeting Tanning while the
latter was on his way from Oster's to
Larson's saloon at about 6:10 p. m.
WE Harlin and J.B. Weston testified
to seeing Tanning in Larson's saloon at
obs p. m. and later. This completed
the case for the defense.
Charles Funk. Mr.. Olmstead and J.
NJ. Wiser were called by the state in
rebuttal. The former said that he had
gone to the butcher shop and passed
Tanning on the way. and when he got
to his saloon Tanning was there. Mr..
Wiser said that he saw Tanning go to
Wagner's cell at the city hall and put
his hands to his mouth and whisper to
him. He heard Tanning tell Wagner
not to say anything.

w. j. MARTIN DEAD.
An Old Soldier and Respected Citizen
Passes Away.

W. J. Martin, an old and resident Of
Mankato, and for many years proprie-
tor of grocery store on South Front
street, died at six Wednesday morn
ing at his home on Willard street. He
had not been we'll for year, but his ILL
ness did not take serious turn until a
few weeks ago, He was operated upon
at the hospital, and was taken back to
his home two or three days ago. It
was realized before the operation that
it held out the only hope of life and
that that hope was a slight one.
Mr.. Martin was born in the state of
New York on Jan. 18th, 1928, and came
to Mankato in the early days. He en-
listed in Co. E, Ninth Minnesota Vol
unteers as sergeant in Aug. 10Th, 1862,
and was mustered out Aug. Gath, 1866,
as orderly sergeant. After the war, he
engaged in business in this city and fol-
lowed it nearly to the time of his
death. He was member of Alexan-
der Wilkin post, G. A. r.
The deceased is survived by his wife
and by one daughter, Miss Ida Martin,
and two sons, Bart Martin. who is a
member of the Minneapolis police
force, and John Martin, who is rail-
way brakeman. Mr.. Martin was we'll
known and highly esteemed as an up
right and industrious citizen, and his
death is the occasion of much regret.

1HE TICKET.

M fH
Mr.. Cook in his puerile jealousy and
his desire to get into some party-any
party, is making himself ridiculous by
his childish attacks on the REVIEW.
He says the REVIEW states there are
no good democrats etc. The REVIEW
has not said one word against the per
sonal character of any democratic can-
didate with one exception and for that
we are fully convinced there are good
grounds. We believe it is perfectly
fair to compare the qualifications of the
candidates. We wish here and now to
state our position on the various demo-
cratic candidates.
Mr.. Blume is doubtless an honest
man. His record as a legislator is not
a good one, the main point being that
he failed to have any influence what
ever in legislative affairs.
MIR. O'Hare is a bright, young man
of good moral character. He has never
tried a real live case in his life. He
has been a lawyer but one year, he has
not been in the county long enough to
vote, and he barely had his shingle
flung to the breeze when he commenced
pulling his wires for office.
Harry Huntington is a good fellow,
likeable and jolly, One good thing
about him is the %frankness with which
he admits that his opponent is better
qualified than himself.
Geo. Myers is an honest we'll meaning
man, who has done the best he could
with the limited education which he
possesses.
Henry Bell is another honest, man.
AS sheriff he has some elements of
strength and some Of weakness. On
the whole he has made a better sheriff
than some we have had but has failed
to come up to the standard of such a
man as John Seemann.
Mr.. Kuhl we know little about, if as
MIR. Cook says, he is a sound money
man we fail to see how be can accept a
position Oh a free sll"er ticket. This
charge that for sake of an office he
would desert his principles is the worst
thing we have heard about him.
Mr.. Rhodenbaugh has not proven
himself a strong member of the board,
he is an affable man and doubtless
means well, The attempt is being
made to pass him off as q Denison man
here in town and as, a east end man out
in the country.
Mr.. Flaherty's nomination was the
result of a combine. He was not the
real choice of the convention. On the
principle that one should say naught
but good of the dead we shall have very
little to say about Mr.. Flaherty. Just
let the people size him up alongside of
Gus. Rabe and then vote, that's all.
AS for M. N. Smith we can find very
little to commend in him. His official
acts have proven him both ignorant
and vicious.
This is the position taken by the RE
VIEW, it is fair and honest and above
board and we are willing to await the.
verdict of the people on the issues in
volved.

that the firm will do a good business.
