PuNXSuTAwNEy, PA, Jan. /, 1900.
Life's duties may well be- divided into
first, those 10 our Creator; second, 10

tion, especially In legislation, that we
may tighten the toll; encourage the
toiler and in all ways help TO lit up and
help to better things. Not alone In our

BURNED TO DEATH.
Former Resident of Mankat0 Receives
Fatal Injuries in Minneapolis.

Mrs. Reuben G. Pickett was burned
to death at her home, SIC Eighth
avenue S, in Minneapolis at an early
hour Saturday morning. Her night
dress caught fire from an exploding
lamp and despite the efforts of her
husband she burned to death. Her
husband heard the explosion and
rushed to the bathroom found the en-
tire room in flames His wife was
enveloped in fire and despite his efforts
he could not reach her. He turned in a
fire alarm and when he returned to
the house his wife was dead. The
department had very little trouble in
extinguishing the fire. The house is
occupied by number of families and
for few minutes the most intense
excitement prevailed.
The funeral of Mrs. Pickett took
place from 11OS East Eighteenth street,
the home of Mrs. Pickett's mother, at
2 80 yesterday afternoon.
Mrs. Pickett resided in Mankato for
some time, moving away about four
years ago. Her husband travelled for
Rosenberger & Mobiles and Rosen-
berger & Currier and got into financial
difficulties. Mrs. Pickett was well
liked by all who knew her and the
news of her sad death will be received
with sorrow.

stolenSunday evening from Frank Fas-
nacht, of Madison Lake, while he was
calling at the farm house of John

teen minutes, and when he went out
his team was gone. The theft occurred
at about 9 80 O'Clock, and there is no
clue to the thief. The officials at Man
kato were notified this morning.
One horse has white stripe on his
face and weighs 1, 800 pounds, and the
other has white star on her face and
weighs 1850 pounds. The mare and
horse are five and six years old
and both are black A light farm
harness, string fynets and light plat
form spring wagon with single seat

A gang of horse thieves seems to be
operating in this part of the state,
and thus far they have been successful
in eluding capture.
The team was traced to Marysburg,
where it was seen at II p. M Deputy
Sheriff Albert Gerlich followed the
trail to Cleveland, where he lost it.
Sheriff Gerlich has gone to Henderson
to head off the thief, if possible. A
reward of $50 is offered for the cap
ture of the thief.

MET HIS DEATH.
August A. Swanson Killed on
the Omaha Track.
Was Intoxicated and Passenger Train
Struck Him While Lying on
the Track.

The Omaha passenger train No. s,
that leaves Mankato for the north at
10 a. M, struck and killed August
A. Swanson who was on the track forty
rods south of Bradley's crossing Monday
morning. The accident occurred at 7 80
a. M, and the train was stopped and
two bridge carpenters were put off to
watch beside the remains until the Off
cials could arrive. Agent Bradley
was then notified from Kasota, and
he informed Coroner Kennedy and
Chief Bowen and accompanied them
to the spot in a carriage. The remains
were afterwards placed upon hand
Car and brought to the city and placed
in Lamm & Landkammer' undertake
ing rooms.
Deceased was identified as August A.
Swanson, of Kasota, and was 30 to 40
years of age. He was fairly we'll
dressed in brown suit and soft brown
hat. He wore Bryan badge and
tickets of wine hall in st. Peter were
in his pocket. Parties who saw the
man walking on the track a few mo-
ments before the accident say that he
appeared to be very much intoxicated.
He was going in the direction of Man
kato, and it is thought that he lay down
beside the track with his head close to
the rail and went to sleep. The
engineer of the train is said to have
seen an object on the track, but from
the color and shape took it for dirt
pile left there by the section me n.
When the engine struck it, then it
was realized what had happened and
the train was stopped. The body was
lying on it's back close to the track,
where it was thrown by the COW
catcher. The injuries appeared to be
confined to the forehead and back of
the head, which were terribly crushed
in. The brain came out of two large
holes made in the skull.
The mans hat bore the trade mark
of a Kasota firm, and this gave a clue
by which his identity might be estab-
lished. However, before the store
keeper could arrive, Ed. Rock,
barber of Kasota, formerly village
marshal, arrived and identified
Swanson. The latter has wife liv-
ing on the outskirts of Kasota. He is
employed in c. W. Babcock's stone
quarry and has resided there for sew
eral years. He was large and power
full man, and was in the habit of going
on sprees occasionally. This time he
was in company with two Mankato
stone quarrymen at st. Peter yester-
day, and was probably out all night.
Swanson is said to belong to the
Masonic order.
Coroner Kennedy held an in,
quest Tuesday, when the train crew
can be present. The conductor of No.
8 is G.. M. Stedman, and Engineer
Sullivan. The inquest was ordered for
1 80 p. m.
Coroner Kennedy summoned the fol-
lowing jury: D. L. Clements, FL. S
Eldred, Chas. Yates, D. G. Robinson,
o. P. Iceberg, Joseph McKibben.
The jury viewed the remains, which
were then turned over to Mrs. Swan
son and prepared for burial by the
undertakers.

FLOW LESSENED.
City Wells Said to Have Been Affected
by the Mill Well.

The new well at the big mill reached
a depth of 556 feet this morning and
flowed 400 gallons a minute. 1t will
be lowered 575 feet, and work will
probably stop this evening.
Chas. Koke, engineer at the city
pump station, says that the new well
has caused less water to flow from the
city wells. He will take a measure
ment of the loss of flow and will be
able to report the exact amount The
city wells have been yielding 1000
to LOO gallons minute, and at first
thought Mr.. Koke was inclined to
think that the loss to these wells has
been 300 gallons minute, but when
he takes his measurement he will be
better able to say. He is more than
ever in favor of digging new well
and repairing the present ones.
Geo. NJ Palmer, of the big mill,
does not think it possible that the new
well could affect the city wells. The
flow of the other mill wells has not
been lessened.
