Hoyt's "A Stranger In New York" at the
Opera House next Monday evening.

that It's return Is looked forward 10

A STOLEN STORY.

The May number of the high school
paper called The Gopher contains a
very interesting story under Latin
heading. This story would show much
talent on the part of the writer were it
not for the fact that shortly before The
Gopher was published very similar
detective story appeared in the supple
ment to the ST. Paul Globe entitled
MY Righlful Vocation" A com.
parison of the two stories shows entire
sentences and paragraphs to be identi-
cal, while the remainder differs only in
construction. The story is also given
a local application. The editors of The
Gopher evidently had no thought that
the story had been culled from the
Globe, slightly reconstructed and passed
off on them as original or they would
not have accepted it.

MANKATO MINNESOTA. FRIDAY, JUNE 16. 1890

mense tanks where the beer is gradual
ly taking on its saleable qualities.
In the bottling house we noticed a
hugh table on the wall, showing where
each case of bottled beer is sent. A
card is placed opposite the number
OF the case until the case comes
back. A glance at the names on
the cards would surprise some people
and cause them to wonder whether
the beer wagon called after dark or
through the alleys. Some very promi-
nent and excellent names were on the
list, and it shows the great popularity
OF the Mankato bottled beer, than
which there is none better made.
1t was now about supper time, and
the reporters concluded that the ride,
like other good things, must end, and
they reluctantly returned to the Broad
way of Mankato and resumed their
beats. hoping to get another hours va :.
cation at some future time.

DECISION REVERSED.
Carey.LOmbard Lumber Co. Wins in the
Supreme Court.

The supreme court has made decis
ion reversing the lower court in the fol-
lowing case.
Carey Lombard Company, appellant
VS.. A. G. Bierbauer ct al, defendants,
A. G. Bierbauer ct al respondents.
Syllabus The legal owner of a
city lot verbally agreed with another
person, his son, that he would furnish
the money needed to erect dwelling
house on the lot , that when the house
was completed the son might occupy it
as a residence that he might thereafter
purchase the property by paying the
cost of the house and stated sum for
the lot and that when. such payment
was made the premises Should be deed
ed to the son, The latter then in his
own name entered into a written con
tract with builder for the erection of
house on the lot and when it was com.
pleted entered into occupation, has ever
since and still does occupy it.
The builder was paid in full, in part,
By the father and after his death abal-
ance was paid out of the estate.
Held, in an action to enforce a lien
for materials used in the erection of
the house, that as to the lien, claimant
the son was the equitable owner of the
property and that he had an interest
which was subject to the lien
This interest may be proceeded
against and the lien enforced without
joining the legal owner of the lot as
defendant in the action. And a sale,
under decree. of the equitable owners
right, title and interest in the premises
may be had before the extent of such
interest has been judicialy ascertained.

CASWELL SAYS YES
Pleads Guilty to Stealing ABB
bolts Money.
haggerty's Trial Comes on Next Week
rhursday.-Reporr of the
Grand Jury.

Edward Caswell came into court Fri
days in charge of the officers and
entered plea of guilty to the charge
of grand larceny in the second degree.
He was remanded for sentence and is
said to have an idea that the court is
lenient with him on account of his con-
fession of guilt, This will no doubt be
taken into consideration.
VIM. Haggerty Jr. entered plea of
mot guilty." and his trial was set for
June 18th at 900 N, both sides
being anxious to dispose of the case
early.
The trial Of the trespass case of Colt
fried Strobel VS. Geo Scnulte and
Frank Weimer was not completed
Friday. Thursday afternoon court ad-
journed early in order that the jury
might go out to the farm in question
and view the condition of things. The
road runs through a marsh and the
marsh on Mr.. Strobel's side is damned
up, but the defendants claim that it is
his own fault. The slough is thickly
populated with frogs that leaped out of
the way, as Attorney Young waded
through it with hip boots.
The next case for trial is that of the
Nichols & Shepard Co. VS.. VIM. and B.
H Gerlich.
The suit of John R. Norton VS.. Amel-
ia B. Valentine has been settled and
dismissed.
The following is the report made
Thursday afternoon by the grand jury;

PEOPLE WE KNOW
They Are Mankato People And What
They Say Is of Local Interest.

When an incident like the following
occurs right here at home it is bound to
carry weight with our readers When
so many strange occurrences go the
rounds of the press; are published as
facts; when the intelligent reader
knows they can't be true, there is no
wonder people become skeptical On
one subject skepticism is rapidly dis
appearing. This is due to the actual
personal experience of our citizens, and
their public utterances regarding them
The doubter must doubt no more in the
face of such evidence as this. The
public statement of a reputable citizen
living right here at home, one whom
you can see every day, leaves no ground
for the skeptic to stand on
Mr.. G. A. Cedar, of 604 No. Front
ST., says "Doan's Kidney Pills cured

LIGHTNING'S WORK.
Causes a $4,000 Loss at the Gas
Plant.
The Building Badly Wrecked by Two
Bolts, But Gas was Turned on
Monday.

During the storm Sunday, light
ming struck the gas plant of the Man
kato Gas and Electric Light Co. and
greatly damaged the building, but for.
tunately spared the machinery and gas
tank. This occurred at about 1870 p. m.
Several Chicago Great Western rail
way employees were gathered under a
roof for shelter from the rain, where
they could see the gas plant and they
report that lightning struck the build
ing twice. The first bolt struck the
corner of the building and was immedi-
ately followed by a second bolt, which
struck the center, and then the build
ing partially collapsed and caught fire..
The fire department responded to an
alarm. Part of the building was saved,
but it will have to be entirely rebuilt,
and this will be done as soon as posi-
BILE.
President Meagher roughly estimates
the loss at $4,000, fully covered by in
surance. The machinery was not injur-
ed, and force of men was Immediately
put at work making such repairs as were
necessary to operate it., and gas was
turned onto the mains again this fore
noon and no further interruption is ex
pected. The force of the concussion
caused by the lightning broke anumber
of window panes in adjacent buildings,
including the packing house.
Engineer Schmall had a narrow es-
cape with his life. He entered the Office
about the time the lightning struck and
went through into the engine room to
shut off the pipes. Just after he ha d
closed the door the final stroke came
sounding like an explosion, and the part
of the building where he had been
standing collapsed.
Residences supplied with gas had to
be lighted with lamps Sunday night

WASH OUTS.
Railroads Suffer Badly From
the Storm.
Worst Breaks Are Between Mankato
and kas0ta and Madison Lake
Traffic Interrupted.

The great rainfallSunday and Sunday
night caused bad washouts In the vi
cinity of Mankato that have seriously
interrupted traffic. The Milwaukee
road escaped with almost no damage
and trains have been running practi-
cally on time
On the Omaha road there is bad
break in the line between this city and
Kasota, and passenger trains from the
south are obliged to come to Mankato
and turn around and go back, while
trains from the north do the same
thing at Kasota. Transfers cannot be
made over the Northwestern track for
the reason that there is a washout be-
tween Mankato and the junction and
between the junction and Kasota. Re-
pair trains are at work on both ends of
the break and are putting the line into
passable, condition as rapidly as pos
sible, but it is not yet known just when
trains will get through.
There was small slide of land near
Minneopa, but the track was quickly
cleared The telegraph wires along the
Omaha and Northwestern roads are in
shape
The Chicago Great Western is tied
up with washout between this city and
Madison Lake, and there are couple
of cuts partly filled in with mushy dirt
No trains have left the city or come in,
and it is not known when traffic will be
resumed, but a force of men is at work
at the point of interruption. The
wires are down and it is impossible to
learn what damage was done further
east, but it is thought that the princi-
pal tie up is this side of Madison Lake.
1t was difficult travelling on the coun-
try roadsSunday evening, as some of the
bridges had gone out and all of the Gull
verts had overlooked Large streams
ran down from the fields, spreading
mushy earth over the roadways and in
some cases washing them out. A good
deal of repairing will be necessary in
places
The Omaha train from the west ar
rived at 4:10Monday afternoon, and pro.
ceeded to the washout north of the city
where transfer was made, with the
train from St. Paul.
The Milwaukee road had a small
washout Sunday a mile from Maple
ton, but dumped forty-fi five car loads of
gravel into it and was ready for bust
ness Monday morning.
The wind was very severe at Eagle
Lake. J. A. Ewings' windmill was
blown down and his barn suffered
somewhat.
At Mapleton, lightning struck M, A.
Gilmore's residence Sunday, knock
ing all of the lids off of the stove and
starting small fire. The fire depart,
ment was called out and in the excite
ment fell into ditch with six feet of
water. Not much damage was done to
the house.

Officers Morrow and Olmstead re-
sponded at three o'clock Saturday
to call from J. E. Harris residence,
corner of Clark and Center streets.
The family had been disturbed in their
repose by someone attempting to gain
an entrance by the rear door. The of

found no suspicious characters.

Washington, June 12.-The war de.

Otis of the cleaning out of the insur
gents in Southern Luzon. The enemy's
loss was considerable heavier than re-
ported by the press dispatches The
terrific heat did not permit troops
reaching positions at hours designated
which enabled many of the insurgents
to escape south and westward, which
they did during the evening and night
The movement was a great sue
cess, however. The enemy was to-
tally disorganized and routed with g
heavy loss. Our troops are resting at
Lastinas and at Barnaque. The insur
gents retired toward the shore of the
bay, and were protected by the women
and children whom they drove along
with them. Our loss was four killed
and thirty wounded. The enemy s
loss by conservative estimate was about
400.

1t was suggested today that as long
asthe Great Western seems to intend
to-make an eastern extension, it would
be better for it to locate its depot on
this side of the river Otherwise, it
might not make circuit through the
city but commence the extension some
where near Eagle Lake. This would
leave stub end the same as now. The
Great Western could either arrange to
use the Milwaukee tracks or do as the
Omaha road did and build to the first
pier of the bridge, thus skirting the
Omaha track on the outside.
