the clerk of court of Martin county en-
joining the M. & St. L. road from cross

second 20 keep them out of the newly

BOUND OVER.
Pred Kings preliminary trial before Justice
Henningsen.

Fred King, the young man arrested
by Hugo Roos at the Northwestern
depot on the day of the Hermann Sons
festival was bound over to the grand
jury by Justice Henningsen Tuesday of
last week. The testimony was such as
to exclude any possible doubt as to
Kings guilt, and King was only too will
ling to plead guilty, if permitted, to a
charge of petit larceny and he offered
to pay fine of 800. Attorney Hoi-
dale repreviated him and tried his best
to avert the sentence. Bail was fixed at
$500 and all pleadings to reduce the
amount to $500 were in vain. 1t seems
that King, (this is undoubtedly an as
sumed name) was in a position to fur
nish $500 bail in which case he would
have been set at liberty, but the sum of
$500 is too high for him to furnish.
King claimed to hail from Kansas
City, Mo-, but this is certainly as fcti-
tious as his name. ALI attempts to have
the young pickpocket photographed
proved fruitless, as King seems to be pos
sessed of a high grade of mimicry, twist
ing his physlognomy in all shapes i'm
Imaginable.
To all appearances King will have to
remain in Jail until the next term of dis
trict court, the grand jury convening in
January 1900. The charge against him
is grand larceny.

While but very few people believed this

LIEUTENANT CRAFTS LOSS.

Lieutenant J. P. Graft is the latest
victim of the hoboes across the river.
On returning home some time between
Sunday and Monday, Mr.. Graft did not
notice anything wrong about the prem
ises, not examining the rear part of his
abode. He was painfully surprised
therefore, or as the phrase goes, posi-
lively shocked when he arose from his
- we'll, let US call it peaceful slumbers,
- to learn that his beautiful tent, the
valuable relic of his military expert
ences at Camp Chickamauga was gone,
vulgarly stolen by some unpatriotic,
communistic or cosmopolitan citizen.
John P. is willing to give up all claims
upon the tent, if he could only get a
good hold of the thief.
AS it is, there is hardly chance either
to get the thief or tent unless another
detective like Hugo Roos should come
to the front. But may the lord be mer-
ciful upon the soul of the thief if 1t.
Graft should catch him. A justice
court would not be in it.
DR.. A. F. Strickler, assistant superin-
tendent of the Rochester asylum has

A.. F. Strickler has not been named yet.

Hanska is prospering.
Mrs. Smasal Sr. of Lafayette fell down

pain and dressed the wounds.
