The calling of the June caucuses ten
days ahead of the convention throws
the fight between the friends of Con.

Funk mainly into Blue Earth county.
1t is hardly likely that caucuses will be
held that early in any other county.
Whichever side loses the caucuses in
Blue Earth county will have uphill
work out in the district, as his own
friends will be discouraged and the OPP,
position will be strengthened Now
that the date has been settled, the fight
for Blue Earth county will rage in
earnest.

Mark Twain said that, as small

United States senator he saw, because
he wasn't several feet taller than other
men. No one could be disappointed in

The Man Who Kept the Saloon Under
the Hill At Fl. Bliss Out On His
Own RecoqniZdnCe

|
| William Queen is once more free
man. and. as he himself says, he is ''a
mighty proud niggah."
| Queen is the bartender of the saloon
under the hill near the fort, who was
arrested as suspect in connection
with the raid on the police station.
After his arrest. Darby Ford, owner
of the place. protested to the HERALD
against the arrest, and said that nei-
tho he nor Queen could know any
thing of the affair. The arrest was
sworn out on information and belief,
and the state made NO showing at tb 8
preliminary hearing before Judge Ellie
this morning.
Queen, for his part, declared tn at
the first he had heard of the affray was
the intelligence the ice man brought
him next morning. He declared he
knew absolutely nothing of the plot
and that it was not concocted in his
place.
II shall release you on your own re-
cognizance and turn the papers il the
case over to the grand jury" said the
judge. "Queen, you may CO."
Queen fairly quivered with delight.
He drew a sigh of relief, and, as he
left the court room said: "Maybe L
amt proud to get out of this. You
certainly won't catch me around here
again. 1 amt lost no dead policemen"
