one of the back seats of the room, poor
" dressed and holding an old SLOUGH hat
under his arm. a case had just been
concluded and Judge Foster turned to
Clerk c. J. Wilson and asked him to call
the next case, which was that OF the
colored man, the charge being that OF
selling or furnishing whisky to an In
dian The judge asked the batliff If the
defendant was in the room and If so to
bring him up before the court.
1.-The bailiff went to the cOlored man
and led him up when he stood with bow
ed head before the judge who said to
him. Mr.. - you are charged with
furnishing or buying whisky for an In
dian. Is the charge true? The man
answered in a respectful tone, Yes, sir
10 an Indian is a violation of the laws
of the United States?' said the judge.
No sir, did not answered the colored
man. You can go home said Judge
Foster The old man turned to go, the
tears trickling down his cheeks, but his
were not the only moist eyes in the
court room. handkerchiefs being in de-
znand all over the room and had the
question been submitted to the whole
" that the decision was right. L do not
think the incident will be forgotten by
those present, and though l have diff
1ered with the judge in some things
that act has g1Vn me a feeling of reVer-
ence for him that time will not efface."

County Asked to Pay Freight on Guns
to Be Mounted at Court House.

The members of the Union Veterans
union in Topeka have petitiomed the
county commissioners to pay the freight
to Topeka on an eight-inch siege gun
and two mortarS, which the union pro-
poses to secure from the government.
The idea is to place them in the court
house grounds.
The government is sending out sew
eral guns to military organizations. on
the payment of the freight by the re-
cipients. The union will secure the
guns If the county will pay the freight
and build foundations in The court house
ward on which to mount the guns.
1t is estimated that the freight on the
three guns will be about $500. Solid
foundations would have to be laid for
them to rest on, the siege gun would
weigh from eight to ten tons and the
mortars from three to four tons each.

BAND SHoULD,kREORGANIZE
Need of 8 First Class Musical Combina-
ton in MankatO,

The Concordia band seems have lost
it's grip. No rehearsals have been held
for long time, and the band has made
no public appearance. Mankato is
large enough to support good band,
and the Concordia has had record in
the past second to none. We under
stand that dissensions have crept into
it and that some of the members have
failed to attends rehearsals that have
been called recently.
There will be much need of band in
Mankato this summer. 1t ought to be
on hand for the Woodmen picnic next
Tuesday, and it will be indispensable
on street fair week. Bands will come
from several different points Tuesday,
and if Mankato has no band the people
will think it strange.
The members of the Concordia band
are an excellent set of young men and
they should sink their differences for
the public good When the next re-
hearsal is called, we hope to see full
attendance and the Concordia band
once more to the front and the pride of
our people.

catch hold of some willows just below
him. Neiperg did as he was told and
was rescued, while the team was swept
on down stream and was drowned.
There!isa bridge only twenty rods
above the ford and it was foolish
