CLAIMS OBJECTED TO.
People Put in Big Bills for Taking Care
of Daniel Kopischke.

The hearing on claims in the Daniel
Kopischke estate has been adjourned

are objected to, These claims are
mostly for taking care of the deceased
before his death, and are presented by
Julius E. Stockman. for $1,S34 03,
Minnie Stockman, for SS0025, and Miss
Kopischke, for S55025.
W. E Young appears for the claim,
ants, Thos. Hughes for a grand
daughter of the deceased, Miss Petrich,
of Vernon Center, who objects to the
claims, and Pau & Pau for August
Gems, the administrator. Kopischke
was wealthy, and it is claimed that it
is curious thing if he owed so much
to people for taking care of him.

A NEW TRIAL.
Contractor Kellogg is Granted
One Today.
Geo. VOsbeck Does Not Get New Trial
in His Action Against the Tele.
phoue Company.

Judge Severance has rendered two
decisions in the action brought by Geo.
Vosbeck against Contractor H. NJ
Kellogg and the Mankato Citizens
Telephone Co. 1t will be remembered
that when the case was tried in Feb
ruary, the jury returned verdict
against the contractor for So, 500, and
returned a verdict in favor of the tele.
phone company. Mr.. Vosbeck subse,
quently moved for a new trial as to the
telephone company, and Mr.. Kellogg
moved for judgment notwithstanding
the verdict or for a new trial.
Judge Severance denies the motion
for a new trial made by Mr.. Vosbeck
against the telephone company. He re-
fuses to grant judgment in favor of
Mr.. Kellogg Notwithstanding the YER
dict of the jury, but grants the con-
tractor new trial.
The judge accompanies his decision
in the Kellogg case by memorandum
in which he says that he grants the new
trial principally on account of the first
and second answers of the jury in the
special verdict, which are not justified
by the evidence, and especially the
fourth answer There is no evidence
in the cease" he says. ito Justify that
answer of the jury, and the question in
volved was one of some materiality in
the case as bearing upon the question
of Vosbeck's negligence"
The fourth question submitted to the
jury, with the answer returned, was as
follows:
Did the defendant Kellogg at or be-
fore the time of the injury have any no
tice or knowledge that Walter Vosbeck
was playing unattended or was in the
habit of playing unattended in the alley
and lot near the place of the injury?
"Answer.-yes."
The Judge closes by saying that he
does not pretend to intimate that
plaintiff cannot recover from defendant
Kellogg uponEa re-trial.
The case has been very stubbornly
contested. Judge Andrews and II. l..
Schmitt are Mr.. Nosbeck's attorneys,
Lorin Cray is Mr.. Kellogg's attorney,
and w. A Funk and w. N. Plymat are
attorneys for the telephone company.

WILL REBUILD.
Fowler & Pays Loss Greatly Exceeded
the Insurance.

B F. Pay has returned from Austin,
where the Fowler & Pay cement works
plant burned Saturday night. The
buildings that burned were the mill. the
warehouse, the cooper shop and the
blacksmith shop. A stock of 10, 900 bar
rels Of cement was fortunately uninjur-
ed. Mr.. Pay states that the loss has
not yet been definitely figured out, but
that it will be two or three times the
amount of the insurance. The cause of
the fire is unknown.
Mr.. Pay states that the plant will be
rebuilt as soon as possible, but the size
has not yet been determined upon. The
loss of the plant at this time of the
year is a greater one to the firm than at
almost any other time.

VARIOUS OPINIONS.
THINKS HIM ICONoC1,AsT1C

THINKS HIM ICONOCLASTIC.
st. Peter Herald:
Mankato,s mayor has notified the
policemen of his city that they are ap-
pointed for duty and not for ornamental
purposes. as they are expected to at
tend to their business instead of being
sleeping statues. This iconoclastic Of
fetal would destroy all of the ancient
traditions and reverse the police system
of generations in single day. He
might as we'll try to solve the race prob,
lem in an hour The people love to
look at their uniformed officers of the
law and to behold that calm and benign
expression which they exhibit when in
repose. Mankato's mayor must go.
The people will not brook such sud
den revolution in the ethics of police
power.
NEVER LOOKED BETTER.
Liechfeld Review:
Crops never looked better than they
do this year. The exceptionally good
weather together with the heavy
showers of two weeks ago followed by
cool but pleasant weather has given the
grain good start. Should the season
continue as favorable until the latter
part of July, Minnesota will have to
record one of the biggest crops in her
history.
WOULD SHOW TO BETTER ADVANTAGE
Worthington Herald:
1t is actually comical to see the howl
going up from the state Pops concern
ing Minnesotas new antitrust law,
claiming that it probably cannot be en-
forced anyhow. This is some more ex-
cellent consistency, But they would
show up to a great deal more advantage
II instead of heaping abuse upon the
measure they would turn in and give
it unqualified support.

One of the incidental benefits of the
new ownership of the Cannon Valley
road is expected to be improved train
service to Madison Lake and back, that
will be of much benefit to cottagers.
That resort ought to benefit materially
from the change.
While those who are in position to
be best posted do not expect that the
Cannon Valley will be extended west
from this city, as desirable as such a
move would be, the benefits of improved
train service and competition are ex-
pected to prove of Importance to the
city. 1t is very likely that some time
in the future the road may be extended
but it is said that no such plan is con-
templated for the present.
A force of men will be put to work
Saturday on the Mankato & New Ulm
extension. The material will have ar
rived by that time.
A party of the officers of the Chicago
Great Western road arrived in the city
at three o'clock Wednesday on a
special train. The party was composed
of S. G. Stickney, general manager; R.
Dupuy, general superintendent; P. G.
Stohr, general traffic manager; F. H.
Lord, general passenger agent; J. A.
Kelly, Supt northwest division; H Fern
strom, chief engineer; Tracy Lyon,
master mechanic; S. O. Brooks, general
freight agent: G. H. Mead, general
advance agent; S. T. Spilman, superin-
tendent dining cars. They came to Man
kato to view the line recently purchased
from the Minneapolis & St Louis.
After spending short time in the city,
the train pulled out on the return trip.
The officials walked up as far as the
Union depot from the NJ. & St. L. de-
pot on the track They were reticent
about future moves of the road, saying
that they were simply here on pre-
liminary inspection. When asked in
regard to moving the depot further up
town and in regard to extending the
road west, they said that they could
not speak for what President Stickney
might do. who was good railroad
man and had plans of his own.
1t was the first visit to Mankato of
any of these officials and they were
greatly pleased with the city. They
also expressed themselves as pleased
with the road and especially the seen
cry and rich character of the country.
They thought it ran through the garden
spot of the state.
Several citizens assisted in showing
the visitors the sights, and Mr.. Stick
ney was given carriage ride by Messrs.
L. P. Hunt and L. Patterson The
train departed at 400 p. m.
The condition of the roadIed, bridges
and culverts We're found to be in better
than expected. In all proba
bility Mankato will be given complete
passenger service with the twin cities
at as early date as the schedule can
be arranged.
