The trial of Albert Cunning on the
charge of robbing Great Western
freight car was commenced this morn
ing and occupied the day. Agent
VIM. M. Barr, Paul Leidlof, Grager
Kunz and Otto Miller testified for the
state this afternoon.
When this case was called Dunning
and Geo. Craver, who were indicted
jointly with John Baker and Joseph
Mathews, demanded separate trials
and this was granted. Cummings case
was taken up, and the other prisoners
were remanded back to Jail. Craver's
trial will come next. It is understood
that he is willing to plead guilty to
petit larceny but will not plead guilty
to grand larceny. The case against
Baker and Matthews will probably be
dismissed, as the county attorney does
not believe them to be very much inn
plicated.
The suit of the city of Mankato vs..
Robert o. Craig, which was marked
for trial by jury, has been placed upon
the equity calendar and will be tried
by the court.

All in all, Americans cling to life
more tenaciously than in other coun-
tries, but still the loss, by self-slaush-
ter, of 600 persons year constitutes
q problem that deserves more study
than it has thus far received. The
proportion of suicides seems to be
nearly as large in the country districts
as in the cities. and any means of pre-
vention must be broadly social as we |
as ethical IN order to be at all eff
cient.
