DOLSON'S CASE.
Redwood Sheriff Thinks There
was Foul Play. a5s
Deputy Sheriff Stevens Goes to Blue
Earth on a Report of Dolson
Being Seen.

Sheriff E. A. P, ase, of Redwood
county, was in the city Tuesday night,
bringing prisoner back from Iowa to
stand trial in his county on the charge
OF having stolen horse and buggy,
The prisoner was given a cell in the
county Jail for safe keeping over night.
Sheriff Pease has spent considerable
time searching for Mont P. Dolson, the
man whose whereabouts has caused his
family considerable anxiety. He is in
clined to the belief that Dolson is vic
tim of foul play, and suspects a man
who is now somewhere in Missouri.
This man and Dolson worked in the
same threshing crew in Redwood
county and started toward Mankato to.
gether several weeks ago with Dolson's
teams. The man was sarrested in Red
wood Go. during the fall' on the charge
of having stolen 1880, but the crime was
fastened on a companion. 1t is be-
lieved that the fellow got an idea that
Dolson had considerable money on his
person, and followed him away. The
suspicious of the sheriff are strengthen.
ed by the fact that recently boy on
the place where the two men were
working received peculiar letter from
the Missouri man, making inquiries as
to there being any talk of his being
wanted, and asking for an immediate
reply. The letter did not state this as
plainly as given here but the officers
think that this is the meaning of the
letter, although it is written blindly.
Deputy Sheriff Stevens ha, gone to
Blue Earth and Winnebago City to in
vestigate report that Dolson was seen
there driving south. This report says
that Dolson was alone Mr. Stevens
will follow the trail as far as he can.
Sheriff Gerlich has been informed
that the body Of an unknown man
found in the Des Moines river does not
answer the description of Dolson. The
sheriff has written to the sheriffs of
four counties in Missouri, making in,
quiries in regard to Dolson's com
panion, but has received no replies as
yet. He will probably write again
Mrs. Dolson has not heard from her
husband since the first week in Novem
Der, although up to that time he wrote
frequently and sent her money.

LOSS ON APPLES,
Warm Weather has Caused
Much Rotting. ysss
Mankato Fruit Commission Co. Will
Lose $500 on Stock Of 1900
Barrels.

The Mankato Fruit Commission Co.
expects to lose $500 on the stock OF
apples which it is carrying in its cellar,
on account of rotting. The weather
has been 80 warm thus far this season
that apples have rotted to a greater ex,
tent than for years past. and the loss is
shared by all who have apples on hand.
The Fruit company has 1900 barrels in
its cellar The southern apples stand
the weather better than the northern
apples. as they are Less juicy and are
acclimated 10 such warm seasons.
Manager Thomas reports that the
price of apples remains unchanged.
The supply comes from Michigan,
Missouri, and New York. The com.
pany has handled sixty. five carloads
this year, and would have handled
more but for the warm weather.
The orange crop is coming on earlier
than ever before this year, for the
reason that the California growers are
cultivating their orchards with the
purpose in view of getting on the
market early, when prices are best.
Mr.. Thomas expects that by another
year or soon after there will be con-
slant supply of oranges the year
around
Two carloads of seedlings have been
received from California, and few
Mexican oranges have been handled,
The Mexican product was good, but
not as we'll colored as usual The
season for them has now passed and
from now on the California fruit will
monopolize the market. The naval
oranges will be on the market next
week, in time for the Christmas trade.
There is good crop in California this
year. The effects of last winters freeze
in Florida are still felt, and the crop of
that state does not enter into consider
alton here this year.
The lemon crop in California is good,
and all the dealers are getting their
lemons there at present. The Cali
fornia product is getting better every
year. The growers are paying more at
tention to this fruit and particularly
to the manner of curing, and the result
is vast improvement 10 the lemons
sent out of California at present COM
pared with those sent out a few years
ago.

CHARGED TO EXPERIENCE.
BoHdsmen for a Mail Contractor put up
$50 90 Each.

A R. Pau, ST., W. E. Young and
Gus Monson, who were on the bond for
Ambrose. the st. James man who Sc
cured the contract for carrying the
mail between this city and st. Clair,
have affected settlement and secured
their release. Ambrose carried the
mail once and then threw up his con-
tract. His bondsmen, who had signed
for $500, have been having the work
done since then. The settlement was
reached by each of the three bondsmen
paying half the sum for which he was
obligated, that is, $50 each. The gentle
men have charged the same up to their
experience account and will probably
not go on any more bonds of this nature
for while.
