REGISTERED LETTERS.

The new system of registration of
letters by letter carriers has been in
operation for several weeks at the Man.
kato postoffice, and although a number
of letters have been registered by letter
carriers, there have not been as many
as it would seem there ought to be if
the merits OF the new arrangement
were more generally known. A letter
can be handed to any letter carrier in
the resident districts of the city, who
will issue you receipt for the same
and the letter is then just as safe and
will be dispatched with just as much
promptness as though it was registered
at the postofice. The carriers have de-
livered cards instructing patrons how
to prepare letters for registration. Any
one who has not received one of these
cards can obtain one from their carrier
upon request,

his wounds attended to. The shooting
occurred at noon.
Both men were allowed to go on
their own recognizance that afternoon,
to appear before the court at $50
o'clock Tuesday afternoon, The
charge against them at present is that
of disorderly conduct under ordinance
No. g. 1t will be determined by to.
morrow what other charge, if any, will
be presented against them.
The revolver which Mr.. Keene used
was Smith & Wesson, of % ,calibre,
and contained five chambers. Mr..
Keene states that it contained four
cartridges. When he handed it over
to the police it contained one loaded
cartridge, three empty shells and one
vacant chamber.
Chief Bruels states that the reason
why he did not order the battering
down of the door to cease was that
everything occurred so quickly that he
did not have time to make up This mind
what was the proper thing for him to
do. When the shooting commenced he
did not want to get in the line of the
bullets and thought it was more pru-
dent to let the firing cease before step
ping up. He and Officer Thilgen were
eight or ten feet from the two men dur
ing the firing,
AS soon as the two contestants were
taken into custody Madison lKeene
left the building and Frank Lobdell
took possession and still holdsIit. Mr..
Keene has leased the building Ito Hoerr
& Ore at higher rental, and was to
give possession that morning. Mr..
Lobdell announced Saturday that he
would not move, and is said to have
had friends in the market all night
to retain possession.
Officer Thilgen was at the scene of
trouble for an hour and half that fore.
noon, for the purpose of seeing that the
peace was not broken by either party.
When Chief Bruels arrived, Mr.. Thilgen
looked for orders from him.
DR.. Steel found that one bullet had
passed through Mr.. Lobdell's left fore
arm, three or four inches below the
elbow, One had passed through the
left hand, entering near the wrist and
coming out between the middle and
ring fingers. One of these bullets
struck the chest over the valve of the
heart, bruising the skin. The bullet
dropped down when Mr.. Lobdell's
clothing was opened, was found to be
fiattened. Had the bullet been a larger
sized one instant death might have re-
suited.
Mr.. Keene states that he followed
the advice of his attorneys. He says
that with the fourth cartridge he
could have killed Mr.. Lobdell if he had
wanted to, but he stopped firing as soon
as Mr.. Lobdell did. He could hear the
bullets fired by the latter whistling by
his head.

FRUIT MARKET.
Bananas, Strawberries and
Cherries Received.
The Orange Crop Has About Played Out

Lemons Next Week.

The Mankato Fruit Commission Co.
today received it's first carload of
bananas for this season, and hereafter
Will receive carload weekly. The
shipment came from Port Limon, by
way of New Orleans. About half of
this years banana crop was destroyed
by storms, but the supply in the Man
kato market will not run short.
From now on, strawberries will be
received daily from Arkansas and H.
linois. The crop up to the present
time is very good one in those states.
Strawberries are a favorite fruit in

A carload of Mediterranean sweets
was received today from California,
and will be the last car of oranges to

are all gone. The California crop of
oranges the present season has been the
finest ever known, and no shipments
have been received from Florida.
Cherries and apricots from Cali.

week.
Two car loads of European lemons,
purchased on the Montreal market on
Wednesday, are expected to arrive the
middle of next week. President Sher-
man, of the commission company, was

loads, two being destined for Mankato.
If the present hot weather keeps on,
these lemons will go rapidly.

move out by nine that night. Mr..
Keene demanded assurances that this
would be done, and finally said that he
would first have to consult his attorney.
He telephoued the situation to Mr..
Plymat, and the latter advised him not
to give up possession, but to hold the
building at all hazards. Mr. Plymat
arrived on the scene in few moments
on his way TO dinner, and spoke to Mr..
Lobdell. offering to turn over his prop
erty to him at one o'clock, but Mr.. Lob
dell did not care to accept this kind of
a proposition, but announced that he
would obtain possession even If he had
to smash his way in. Mr.. Keene de
clared that Mr.. Lobdell would do that
at his peril. Mr.. Keene, who had been
on the sidewalk during this converse.
ton, returned into the building, where
his father still was
Mr.. Lobdell had received his revolver
by this time and repeated his determi-
nation to get in at any cost. His at
torney, A. R Pau. came along at that
time on his way home to dinner, and a
crowd of upwards of twenty was stand
ing around waiting for something to
happen. Mr.. Pau advised Mr.. Lob
dell that he had right to the posses
sion of his property even if he had to
break I'M He had no thought of any
serious consequences any more than
Mr.. Plymat, had, who was still there
Mr.. Lobdell began to batter on the
lower part of the double door, to break
off the catch, and the two panes of glass
broke out. Mr.. Keene repeated his
threats to shoot, but none of the per-
sons standing around thought that he
intended to actually shoot.
When the door was nearly ready to
give in, Mr.. Keene opened fire on Mr..
Lobdell, who had hold of the battering
ram, and the crowd made dive to get
out of range. At the first shot, Mr..
Lobdell felt a sharp pain in his left
forearm, and he dropped the timber
and drew his own revolver and return
ed the fire. There is a question as to
who fired the second shot, each claim
ing that it was the other. Mr.. Keene
fired three shots in ALL and Mr.. Lob
dell was struck in the left hand, the
same bullet making slightrindenture
upon his chest, above the heart. One
bullet failed to hit him. Mr.. Lobdell
fired about FIVE shots at Mr.. Keene, but
failed to hit him, as Mr.. Keene
kept moving from one side to the other.
The two men were eight or ten feet
apart during the shooting. AS soon as
the firing ceased, Chief Bruels and Of
fcer Thilgen, who had been close at
hand all of the time, stepped up and
placed both men under arrest, taking
them to the city hall. Mr.. Lobdell
first called at DR.. Steel's Office and had

German Syndicates Cannot Supply the

BREMEN, May 1.-THE coal syndi-
Gates give out report in which it is
stated that ewing to continual scarcity
of coal it will be impossible to supply all
demands. Even domestic coal is affected
by the prevailing conditions. Although
there is not so large demand for that
kind of fuel as for that needed for man

Guilty experienced in obtaining it. This
is due to the want of laborers.

WCMhM SUFFRAGE.

It is hardly probable that the com ing session of the Arizona legislature will give much time to the conSidera- tion of the bill which it is declared will again be urged providing for the elec- tive franchise for women in Arizona. It is believed that the good ladies who in the past have importuned former legislatures for the right of suffrage for their sex will find at the outset of the coming session that their cause is hopeless. In past legislatures much time has been put in on the suffrage question, and two years ago it looked for time that the right to vote would be conferred on the women of Arizona, but determined opposition by Coun- cilman Olney, of Graham, and Finley, of Pima county, killed the bill. The sentiment of the present council is said to be very strong on the anti side of the suffrage question, and if this is so the women who appear in Phoenix should be told so frankly, so that they will not sacrifice their time and energy in fruitless endeavor to gain the goal of their ambition at this time.

WHAT is believed an important dis covery of coal was last week made by Mr. N. H.Mellor about three miles east of Dudleyville, in Pinal county. This is not far from what is known as the Deer Creek coal fields in Graham coun- ty. Concerning this discovery the Ari- zoona Blade says: "A letter received from him by MT. George A. Brown, of Florence, Tuesday, states that he OK. poets to have three feet of coal uncov- cred by the end of this week. The vein and the formation lie perfectly flat, therefore ill place. This makes Mir. Mellor's find the most valuable of all the coal strikes yet reported in the southern part of the territory. We have always contended that the val. uable coal measures would de found west of the Deer Creek field for the reason that the formation here is in place and is equally as favorable for coal as the Deer Creek formation"

MhAE MARK HANNA SAYS.

Senator Hanna predicts that the present session of congress will be a business session in the strictest sense. While it will last but three months, he believes that the time will be sufficient to pass such legis lation as is really necessary.
 In his opinion the Fryeshipping bill will pass. Senator Hanna has long been impressed with the im- portance of this measure.
 As to the Nicaragua canal bill, much depends, in his opinion, on the outcome of the HayPounce- forte treaty. If it is ratified, and the senator thinks it will be, the bill will undoubtedly be passed.
 As to the army bill, Senator Hanna says that stands in differ ent light from the other measures. There will be practically no oppo- sition to it, and there will be no delay in passing it.
 A large portion of the war taxes will be removed, and with these measures out of the way, there will still be time to consider much other business.
 This line on legislation at the present session is probably as ac- curate as any that can be given at this time.

REFERRING to the ages of the mem- bers of the United States senate, a Washington correspondent says: The senate undergoes, occasionally, some. thing in the nature of transition. The recent reelection of Morgan, of Ala bama, at the age of 77, the rrobable re- turn of Hoar, of Massachusetts, at the age of 75, and the active canvass of Cullum, of Illinois. is reminder that the senate is to have in the future, as in the past, the discretion of years. There are fourteen senat DTS who are 70 years of age or older-Pettus, of AL abama; Morgan, of the same state; Hoar, of Massachusetts; Hawley, of Connecticut; Platt, of Connecticut; Stewart, of Nevada; Allison, of Iowa; Cullum, of Illinois; Fry, of Maine; Vest, of Missouri; Jones, of Nevada; Bate, of Tennessee; Proctor, of Yer mont and Plattt, of New York.

THE Marked success in the develop ment of araesian water in the Gila valley of Graham county, is attracting considerable attention. Experiments are being made in several counties. Pima will soon be in line with making a practical test. There is every reason to believe that the test will be success ful as the natural conditions seem to exist. Artesian water developed in this valley or the Tucson basin will result in hundreds of the most beauti- full farms and scores of villas which will attract winter visitors from all sections of the north, east and west. These farms will also be large re- source of wealth, and will supply gar den, farm, poultry and dairy pro- ducts which are now brought from foreign sections. Artesian water ill any section of Arizona, means much mealth, but in no section will it prove of such great value as in this bnsin and valley tributary to Tucson. Star.

Gov. M. o. OTERo, of New Mexico, is in Washington pushing the claims of his territory for statehood. He and Governor Murphy, of Arizona, were in Chicago together. Besides working for statehood another piece of legisla- tion which these gentlemen will give attention is to make every effort to have Arizona and New Mexico named in the irrigation bill. Speaking of this irrigation bill Governor Otero is auot- ed as follows "For some unaccount- able reason the names of the two terri tories have been omitted in the mesure. which calls for an appropriation of sloOOO,0OOsfor the purpose ofconstruct- ing an irrigation system in several of the new western states. Just why the names of New Mexico and Arizona should be omitted we are at loss to determine. The only reason that we see for the omission is that the con- gressman from Colorado is making an effort to aid our cause by advancing an argument why we should be admitted to the family of states. Why, we are wards of the goyernment, and as wards are entitled even to more consid- eration than are the states, and we trust that our plea for good share in the appropriation will not be set aside" ",,.
