and returned home today. He an
nounced to the Free Press before 1eav-
ing the city that the factory here
would increase it's capacity about
twenty per cent, and that new ma
chinery would be added very shortly.
This will prove good news to Mankato
people who have felt for some time
that this important industry might be
taken from u.s.
M. B. Haynes returned last night
from Stewart, where he tested new
well that has just been sunk there to
the depth of 315 feet. It yielded 1870
gallons minute with pump, and is
pronounced by Mr.. Haynes to be a
splendid well. The village will pur-
chase new pump.

FOUND GUILTY.
Harry Zimmerman is Convicted
of Forgery.
John Alwine Has His Trial Today For
Assault.---A Cummings
Trial Next.

The state rested in the trial of Harry
Zimmerman as soon as DIR. Branden-
burg's testimony was completed Tues
day afternoon and G. G. Barnes had
been sworn. Mr.. Barnes testified that
the Jail officials purchased an average
of ten grains of morphia a day for
Zimmerman, but might have skipped a
period of couple of weeks.
Zimmerman was recalled in rebuttal
and explained his use of boiled
water for morphia by saying that
he had detected the deception and had
placed some morphia that he had with
him in the water. Geo. Craver, a
prisoner, testified that he saw Zim-
norman take hypodermic injections
three or four times a day.
The case went to the jury at 8 p,
m. and the jury was out all night.
This morning it came in and asked
for further instructions on the point
as to whether Zimmerman must be
found to have actually written the
check in order to be convicted. Judge
Cray instructed it that if the jury
found that the defendant had passed
the check knowing it to be forgery
he was guilty of forgery.
The jury then quickly agreed upon a
verdict and returned at 9 30 a. M,
finding the defendant guilty of forgery
in the second degree.
The trial of John Alwine on the
charge of assault in the second degree
upon Engineer VIM. H. Neal on Aug.
goth was commenced this morning and
the jury retired at 2 80 p. m. Mr..
Neal, Fireman Harry Norman, Officers
ThiIgen and Daniels, and DR.. S. A.
Sanderson, the st. James dentist who
repaired Mr. Meals borken jaw and
teeth, testified for the state, making
out a strong case. Alwine was the
only witness for the defense, and
claimed that the fireman had provoked
him by putting him off the train and
that when he went to retaliate he
mistook the engineer for the fireman
and threw stone at him, hitting him
in the mouth. Norman was recalled
by the state in rebuttal. Schmitt &
Schmitt defended Alwine.
After being out about an hour, the
jury brought in a verdict of guilty of
assault in the third degree
The trial of AL. Dunninp on the
charge of grand larceny will be COM
menced Friday morning.
The jurors have been excused until
8 a. m. Friday.

The executive committee of the Re
publican state central committee
have called Chairman Rosing down on
his bluff relative to counting the vote
of eight counties They call his at
tention that they have no power under
the law to touch the ballots, and
that if Mr.. Lind wishes to contest
they must take the steps according to
law and he will be accorded fair treat

really the only thing the committee
could do, as they had no right to step
in and assume matter that is en-

M. J. Bowling, of Renville, arrived
in the city late in the forenoon in the
interest of his candidacy for speaker
of the house. Mr.. Peterson failed to
show up, nor did he send word ex-
planning his position. Under these
circumstances. the meeting this after
noon did not consider the speakership
matter. Some of the members are for
Bowling and several are for Berg.
The session was called to order at
about 2:3O p. m. and was executive.
Mr. Torson was elected chairman and
Mr.. Sites secretary Mr.. Schmahl's
name was presented by Mr.. Larson
and the motion to endorse him went
through unanimously.
Messrs Torson, Larson and Schulz
were appointed a steering committee
to act for second district interests.
The representatives remained in
session for some time, considering
political matters of interest to the sec
ond district.
1t was understood that no action was
to be taken in reference to successor
to Senator Davis. The members were
very reticent on this subject during
the day, although little sentiment
in favor of Gen. Moses Clapp was
noticed. It was generally conceded
that the successor to Senator Davis
will come either. from ST. Paul or
