Garner did not k.ow Brown. but
took his acquaintance for granted.
Finally Brown asked Garner about
his friend Lankard. and later
whether he ever got his horse and
carriage back. Mr. Garner then
recalled that Lankard S horse had
been stolen. and wrote the author
tiles here what Brown had said to
him. Further correspondence fol-
lowed with the police authorities at
EstheLville. Two or three days
before Sheriff Pease made the arrest
Brown had got into row with
some member of the railroad crew
at Estherville, and each were fined
50 or ordered to Jail for three days.
Brown went to Jail, and his sentence
expired Monday morning. at which
time Sheriff Pease read the warrant
and took his man, without requis-
itlon papers, Brown evidently not
knowing that requisition papers
were required. in case he objected
to 90 into Minnesota.

IS BROWN THE NAN?
Wanted for the Larceny of J. n.
Lankard's Horse.

Frank Brown, alias Jack Dia-
mOnd, was arrested at Estherville.
Iowa, on Monday of last week, on
the charge of having stolen the
horse and buggy of J. r. Lankard
on Sunday evening of October,
1897. The arrest was made by
Sheriff Pease.
On the night that the horse and
carriage disappeared from in front
of the Methodist chuuch Brown also
disappeared. He had been working
all fall with Huhnerkoch S thresh-
ing crew. On the night in question
he took supper at the Owl restaur-
ant That was the last seen of him
in this city and the police have
been anxious to find him ever since.
About three weeks ago, G. M.
Garner, after visiting relatives
around here, went down to Esther
vile for the purpose of securing
employment on the railroad at that
plrce. He had not been in the town
very long when Brown approached
him. called him by name, asked

MUNICIPAL JUDGE.

A municipal Judge and a specia

elected at the city election on Tues.
day, Jan. I'd.
Judge Chadderdon was legislated
out of Office by chapter 127 of the
laws of 1899, and chapter 227 of the
same laws provide that a special
Judge shall be elected.
The laws have not been generally
known to the people of this city.

laws for 1899 and ascertained
that the people would have to vote
on the question on Jan. ID The
term of both the Judge and the
special judge is to be four years
Chapter 127 provides that section
3 of chapter 229, of the laws of 1895,
shall be amended as follows;
Sec 3. The qualified electors of
such city, shall at the general cleo
ton to be held in such city next
after the passage of this act, and at
the general city election every
fourth year thereafter, elect a suit
able person to the Office of said
Judge of municipal court, who shall
be called the municipal Judge, who
shall hold his office for term of
four years and until his successor
shall be elected aud qualified.
The chapter then goes on to de-
fine the governor power, in case
of a vacancy, and also to define the
powers of the Judge. The fact that
section provides for the election
of a municipal judge Immediately
following the passage of the act
legislates the present incumbent on t.
of Office, and calls for new election
on Jan. I'd.
Chapter 271 of the laws of 1899
provides that a special Judge shall
be elected who shall hold the Office
of municipal judge at such times as
when the Judge is i'll or is absent.
He shall have the same powers as
the municipal judge.
The discovery of these two laws
naturally threw bomb in the camp
of the attorneys, and on Saturday it
Was decided that Judge Baldwin
would become candidate against
the present incumbent, Joseph
Chadderdon, and that A. G. Dolliff
or E. E. Harriott, or probably both
woul be candidate for the special
judgeship.

the former brother of J. B. and L.
F. Robinson of this city, were visit
ing with the latter during portion
of last week.
Mrs. Anna E. Ward was in Wa
SEGA for several days during the
past week, attending a marriage
ceremony in which relative was
one of the principals.

Der to this city for the spring and
simmer trade of 1900.

warranty deeds, II were mortgages,
Is were satisfaction of of mortgages
and liens, and the remainder were
miscellaneous.
The fair given under the auspices
of the ladies of the Crystal Lodge,
Daughters of Rebekah, on Tuesday
afternoon and evening of last week
was largely attended. The articles
on exhibition offered for sale were
numerous and the handiwork was
exceedingly tasty. The ladies rea-
lized nearly $3.50 as result of the
entertainment.
Hoyt L. Conary gave one of his
clever entertainments at the opera
house last Thursday evening, under
the auspices of the local entertain
ment bureau, Mr.. Conary being the
second one of the course of four.
Mr.. Conary is certainly one of the
cleverest, if not the cleverest, artists
in his line. His power of imitation
is superb, while his sudden chang
es from one character to another,
both in imitation of voice and ap-
pearance, is the most commendable
piece of work that we have wit
messed for many day.

number in the State. Lac qui Parle

The Dewey watch fund was
closed last Wednesday evening SO
far as THE GAZETTE was concerned,
at which time the Minneapolis Jour
nal, which is the general treasurer
of the fund, made call for the
amount donated at this point. Six
ty-six of the little people of Red
wood county sent in their pennies,
and will have the satisfaction of
knowing that they have assisted in
buying the great admiral the finest
watch which American skill can
make and also decorate it appropri-
ately and richly. Owing to the fact
that the manufacturers have asked
about six weeks to bid on and make
the watch it is not likely that the
watch will be presented before the
first Of February.

FLOOD IN THE TENNESSEE.
Low Lands Are Inundated, But No Dan
ger or Damage to Property Is
Apprehended.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Feb. S.-Ieayy
rains have prevailed throughout east
Tennessee for the past four or five
days, causing freshet in the Tennes-
see river. The water stood last night
at 35 feet on the government guage,
and is expected to reach 40 feet before
the present flood runs out.
At this point the low lands are in
undated at 33 feet, but no danger TO
property or damage to mills or manu-
featuring concerns will be done at Al
feet.
No damage has been done at any OF
the towns along the river, and none is
opprehended.
The railroads entering the city are
having some trouble. The Southern
was delayed a considerable time yes
terday by a landslide, which covered
its tracks for some distance. This oh
struction has been cleared.
The trains on the Chattanooga.
Rome e. Southern have been aban-
doned. The tracks of this road run
through very low part of Lookout
valley, and there the tracks are COW
cred by the backwaters from the river
through Chattanooga creek.
The weather has turned very cold.
and no further rainfall is expected.
There was no snow in the mountains,
and all danger of a serious overflow is
now regarded as over.

THE PHILIPPINE CAMPAIGN.
Advices from the Capital Indicate that 1t IL
to be Vigorously Prosecuted and
Aguinsldo's Power Crushed.

Washington, Feb. st is under
stood that the campaign against the
Philippine island insurgents is to be
prosecuted with vigor. The question
was fully discussed at the cabinet
meeting, and the conclusion was
reached that before permanent peace
or security to life and property could
be secured, Aguinaldo's forces must
lay down their arms, and it is ex-
pected that Gen. Otis, in cooperation
with Admiral Dewey, will push for
ward at once and give the insurgents
no chance to recover from the defeat
of last Sunday. So far as can be
learned, no positive instructions have
yet been cabled to our commanders
at Manila, but it is the expression Of
members of the administration, pre-
sumably based on cable advices from
Manila, that this course will be Dur.
sued, Iloilo is to be occupied at once
by the American naval forces, and it ia
expected that Gen. Otis will move i'm.
mediately on Malolos, the insurgent
capital and capture or disperse the
so-called Filipino government. The
more closely the insurgents are
pressed, and the more vigorous and de,
termined the campaign, it is said, the
sooner may we expect peace.

FOX JUMPED INTO A TREE.
Sly Mr.. Reynard shrewdly Bafied
the Hounds of the Radnor
Hunt.

The Radnor Hunt club, the finest
equipped hunt club in the country, is
having rare sport this season riding aft
er its pack of American-bred and Amer
ican-trained hounds. They had grand
hunt December 23, and chased Reynard
so hard that he ran 30 feet up a sloping
tree and remained there until Hunts
man Marsh Atlemus called the hounds
off and gave him chance for start on
a second run.
The sun had just broken through the
clouds when Huntsman Altemus turned
so of the pick of the kennel loose for the
days chase. The hounds by their i'm
patient yelps showed that they were
eager for the run. Twenty hunters,
mounted on cropped and prancing thor
oughbreds, were holding tight rein on
their mounts, ready for the word to 60.
The hounds were taken out to the
Barrens, and passing them started
fox at Saw Mill hill, in Radnor. The
chase then led at terrific pace over
a stretch of fair going to Darby creek,
across the Engle farm, then up the
creek through the Clyde and Ellis prop
critics and acroNs the Godfrey and
George Harrison arms, in Radnor The
chase was very warm here and grow
ing exciting. Reynard made almost a
complete turn about in order to fool
the hounds. He took across the Tryon
Lewis farm, with the pack close on his
heels, and then into the thick woods on
the Yarnall farm, in Newton township.
The pack were baying loudly as they
entered the woods, but a minute later
the music ceased. The hunters came rid
ing up and saw the hounds running
about in silence, as if in a quandary as
to where the trail had gone. The trail
seemed to lead nowhere, but the puzzle
was explained when one Of the hunters
pointed to the object of the chase
perched some 80 feet up on the forks of
partly fallen tree. Reynard, in tax
ing the tree, had leaped up the trunk
fully seven feet from the ground, and
the hounds lost the trail entirely. The
hounds saw the fox when pointed out
by the hunters, and were wild in their
attempts to howl him down.
The hounds, however, quickly obeyed
the command OF the huntsman TO come
off, and, when taken back some distance
into the woods, the fox came quietly
down the tree of his own accord and
was given a five-minutes' start. He
seemed to be badly scared from his ex.
perience up the tree and ran very fast,
taking to earth with plenty to spare a
half-hour later on the Ennis farm, in
