After serving twenty-five years in the
saltwater penitentiary, Fred Hittman
has filed an application for a full pardon

sents letter from his parents In Ham
burg, Germany, in which they agree to
furnish transportation and funds suff1-
Client to take him to his native land,
where he can spend the remaining years
of his life.
Hittman was poor German immigrant
and settled in OImsted county directly
after coming to this country According
to the statement which has been filed In
the governors Office, he knew little Or
nothing Of the language, and he was
given but little opportunity to defend
himself. His crime, that of killing a
fellow laborer was surrounded, 1t is
claimed, by somewhat extenuating cir
cumstances, and, at the time, it was
hardly possible for him to secure a fair
trial. He was sentenced in 1873.
He claims to be in poor health and
sets forth his liberation as necessary to
prolong his life

the state board yesterday for pardons

FILED A COMPLAINT.
MankatO Man Says Classification
Rates on Candies Is Raised

Mayor Currier, of Mankato, has filed
a complaint with the railroad commits
sion against lines operating from that
point. The charges are substantially
those which he outlined before the rail-
road officials Feb. II at the opening
hearing Of the rate adjustment case He
charges that the roads have arbitrarily
and without logical reason raised the
classification of candies, product which
he manufactures, and that the reclassif-
cation has injured his business.
A marble cutter named Meyers has
also filed a complaint on the same lines
as the preceding. He deals in tomb
stones and other products in marble and
stone and charges arbitrary raising of
class.

ever could form a link in a Black hill
line. He admitted that their extension

at ConoVa, 8. D., would be pushed
through to the latter place as soon as

In connection with this, however, must
be taken into account the fact that near

pay is in reality no better in this industry

so many complaints are made by the
Iaborers as in this. In fact, the labor
