MYSTERY OF THE CARAVELS.
Is Christopher Columbus Ghost Haunting
The Old Hulks?

Chicago Chronicle: Cyclists who
on pleasant days are in the habit of
taking an early morning spin through
jackson Park wonder at the strange
sights they frequently see while pass
ing the south lagoon where ever since
the DAYS of the worlds fair the three
uninhabited ships of the old Spanish
type have silently weathered storms.
!. The spectacle which has caused so
much gossip and led some to believe
the rotted hulks are haunted is seen
only on clear mornings and just after
dawn Some are unable to solve the
mystery, while others say wanderer
of the Rip Van Wrinkle type has taken
possession of the ships and they are
inclined to believe him harmless re-
cluse. This park policemen say, can
not be true, for each night it is the
duty of the officers to visit the boats
and make sure that no person remains
on board. A cycfist living near the
park was the first to notice the unus-
ual sight about three weeks ago. He
was speeding along past the lagoon
Just as the sun appeared on the horizon,
and as he reached the old Santa Maria
which lies careening to the northward
SOulO u1SldI1CO 1IOIA ACI 6l6L0I
his attention was attracted first by the
appearance of strange head covered
with mass of nearly gray hair which
rose slowly above the gunwales close
to the prov of the ship. The cyclist
watched for moment and soon on the
Monte Cristo a like form appeared.
A tattered coat chung closely to the
shoulders and futtered to the breeze
as the strange being slowly seized the
rotted stays still clinging to the mast
and drew himself up in plain view of
the watcher. Then, shading his eyes
with his hand, the stranger scanned
the lake as though expecting to sight
some sail, but Immediately startled
cry was heard and the spectacle disap-
peared.
The story of the strange sight soon
spread and others rode to the park to
witness and solve if possible the mys-
terry. Some were disappointed, but
others claim to have seen the mysteri-
GUS mariner both on the decks of the
Nina and Pinta at different times.
On each occasion the object of so
much curiosity would scan the lake far
and near, and then, when discovering
that strange eyes were upon him,
would suddenly disappear within the
holds of the derelicts.

SHERIFF GERLICH.
Some Evidence of His Strength With the
Voters.

Two years ago the Republican nomi-
nee for sheriff, Fred Gerlich, had to
measure strength with Henry Him
melman, the Democratic candidate,
concededly one of the strongest men
that the opposition could possibly Sc
ect. But with all of Mr.. Zimmerman S
we'll known political strength and his
numerous political strings, Mr.. Ger
Itch defeated him by about $50 major
ity.
In Mapleton village, Mr.. Gerlich re-
ceived greater majority than was
accorded any man on the Republican
ticket and defeated his opponent by a
vote of 1870 to 6S. Mr.. Gerlich also
received more votes in Mapleton town
ship than any other Republican. With
the exception of Bangerter and Hughes
he distanced all other candidates on
the Republican ticket in Beauford,
and in Decoria, Mr.. Bangerter alone
got very few more votes than did
Mr.. Gerlich. In Medo, Bangerter had
Gerlich by only three votes, and in
Amboy Mr. Gerlich lead the ticket.
In short, take the towns above referred
to and Mr.. Gerlich received a greater
total vote than any other candidate on
the Republican ticket. In the city Mr..
Gerlich ran somewhat behind his
party vote, but this was not because of
his own weakness but because of the
popularity of his opponent.
1t is believed by the best posted poll
ticians, that Mr.. Gerlich will this
year get greatly increased vote in
the city over that of two years ago. In
one or two townships in the southern
part of the county he may not poll
quite as heavily as he did at the last
election, as his opponent resides in
Amboy, but the friends of the sheriff
will see to it that he gets plenty of
support to secure him a second term.
Mr.. Gerlich has made conscien-
tious official and deserves the united
support of the Republicans of the
county.

DEFRAUDED THE SISTERS.

The Sisters who have charge of st.
Joseph's hospital complained to the
police yesterday that man giving the
name of Dan Ryan had defrauded
them out of eleven dollars. They said
that the fellow entered the hospital
Wednesday, ostensibly to receive treat
ment. and left Saturday, neglecting to
settle his bill The police are on the
lookout for the man, who is believed
by Chief Bowen to be professional at
this business. 1t is not likely that he
will show his face in Mankato again.
Ryan. who also went by another
name, succeeded in borrowing 81 from
the Sister Superior on one pretext or
another, and owes this besides his hos
pital bill. He telephoned for hack,
was put off at the City Hotel corner,
and this was the last seen of him.

TWO FORGED CHECKS.
Warrant is Issued for Harry
Zimmerman'S Arrest.
Charged With Passing Bad Paper on Two
Hotels in This City Saturday
Evening.

A warrant was issued Monday
for the arrest of Harry Zimmerman on
the charge of forgery in the second de-
gree. The complaint was signed by
John Kleinschmidt, one of the proprie-
tors of the Stahl House and charges
that on Saturday Zimmerman passed a
forged check for ten dollars upon him,
purporting to be a check made by
G ates G. Phillips upon the National
Citizens bank, payable to the order of
the bearer. 1t was endorsed across the
back Harry Zimmerman.
Zimmerman was in the city Friday
and Saturday and represented that he
was an advance agent for Sporting
Life and My Wife companies. He is a
son of Perry Zimmerman, of Chicago,
who was formerly a resident of Man
kato and who was one of the starters
of the Gas and Electric Light COM
pany. Harry, who is about 26 years of
age, has been in the city several times.
He has lost one leg, and while in Man
kato used crutches, as his cork leg was
being repaired at st. Paul.
Zimmerman ran up a small account
at the hotel bar Saturday night and
paid for it with the forged check, re-
ceiving the balance in change The
check was presented for payment at II
a. m. today, and W. G. Henlein, the
teller, at once suspected it to be a
forgery, as Mr.. Phillips never writes
out his first name in full on his
checks. He telephoned to Mr.. Phillips
and his suspicious were confirmed.
The issuance of the warrant was the
resu 1t.
This afternoon another forged check,
similar to the first except that the
amount was So, came into the bank
for deposit by The Saulpaugh. zim-
norman stopped at The Saulpaugh
Friday night and his bill there was 50.
The next evening he presented Clerk
Connell the check for IS and received
Sc in change from the obliging gentle
man behind the desk.
The blank checks were torn from
Mr.. Phillips pocket check book, six
being taken in ALL Zimmerman was
a school mate of Mr. Phillips and was
at the livery barn during his stay in
the city and is supposed to have secur-
ed the checks while alone. 1t has
been discovered that he practiced Mr..
Phillips signature, and the paper that
he used for the purpose was found in
the waste bas ket.
1t is not known where the young
mans present whereabouts are, but it
is thought that he went to st. James
from Mankato. Chief Bowen has mott
fed the officials at various places to be
on the lookout for Mr.. Zimmerman.
1t is possible that other checks may
show up later, as six were taken from
the book
Young Zimmerman friends are
non plussed over his acts, as indicated
from the evidence at hand. The family
is most estimable one, but Harry is
known to have been rather wild.

A SIMPLE QUESTION,
Mankato People Are Requested to An.
sWer This.

o"Sl AhIcs
Are not statements from representa-
tive citizens of Mankato more con-
vincing than the doubtful utterances
of people living everywhere else in

Mr.. Hunter, corner of Elm and
North Front street, says: "Off and on
l had lameness across my kidneys and
bachache. On these occasions I could
hardly get straight after sitting or
bending, owing to the sharp twangs
passing through me like knife. It
was painful for me to move quickly or
to lift anything. I read about Doan S

ATTEMPTED RAPE.
The Jury Finds Martin Murray
Guilty.
The Trial of John and Joe Salfer and
Dick Graves Set For
Nov. 10th.

The jury in the case of Martin Muir
ray agreed on verdict at four clock
Saturday afternoon, finding the de-
PENDANT guilty of attempted rape. At
torney General Douglas argued the
case for the state, occupying about two
hours, and Mr.. Peck performed SINH
lar service for the defense, consuming
about half the time. The jury was
out for three and half hours. Judge
Cadwell's charge to the jury is con-
sidered to have been very fair one.
He charged that conviction could be
had on any of the following crimes in
the order of their importance, if the
jury decided to convict: Rape, at
tempt rape, assault in the second de-
gree, indecent assault, doing great
bodily harm, and assault in the third
degree The jury decided upon the
second greatest offense.- The verdict
was not unexpected.
The penalty for attempt rape is not
hess than two and a half years nor
more than fifteen years in the peni-
Tertiary. 1t is generally believed that
Judge Caldwell will give Murray
long term.
The attorneys for the defense gave
notice of a motion for new trial on
the ground of errors in ruling, and
court adjourned until Oct. II, when
settled case will be made by the attor-
neys, previous to the motion. The
state believes that the motion will be
overruled and that Murray will be SEN
fenced on that day.
1t has been argued that the court
will hold an adjourned term Nov.
Goth when John and Joe Safer and
Dick Graves will have their trials.
A. R. Pau Sr. states that the de-
tense was unable to introduce its tes-
timony relating to Miss Welsh's past
actions, as the court would not allow
it.
The state was able to show Murray's
escapade with Joe Busch and his sis
ter, but no, able to introduce evidence
respecting another of Murray scrapes,
as that particular case was settled and
no conviction had.
The state is well satisfied with the
outcome of Murray's trial The attor-
neys on both sides returned to Man
kato Saturday evening
