A CURLING CLUB.
One May Be Organized in This
City.
The Maple River Club to Be Invited to
Plsy an Exhibition Game on
the Minnesota.

Another winter Mankato may have
its curling club to contest with the cur
lers from Mapleton and other places
The big gathering at Mapleton Thurs
day has aroused interest among the
local people of Scotch birth or descent,
and active steps are in contemplate
toward the organization of club
The first move to be made will pro-
badly be the extending of an invitation
to the Maple River club to come to
Mankato and do some curling on the
ice This will probably be done with
in two or three weeks, and there is
reason to believe that the invitation
will be accepted and that at least four
Kinks, comprising sixteen men, will
come down and show their Mankato
friends how the game is played. Fol
lowing that, club will be organized
DR.. r. M. Dodds has had some cor
respondence with President Ellis, OF
the Maple River club, on the subject.
He is of the opinion that a favorable
place for the game can be had on the
Minnesota river just below the Main
street bridge, where the ice is smooth
for some distance.
In order to start out successfully, a
membership of twenty is desirable. IT
if felt that after the club has been Or
ganized it will grow considerably. the
same as the Maple River club. There
are enough Scotchmen in Mankato to
make fourishing club, and if one is
organized it is believed that the Maple
ton club would be glad to have the an
nual bonspiel held in this city, where
the accommodations for a large attend
ance are ample, and where there is
good ice close at hand
When the Maple River curriers' come
to Mankato, some from st. Paul will
also be expected. Curling is a sport
that is heathful and interests all Scotch
men. 1t requires some muscle and
much skill. But aside from this. good
deal Of pleasure is had from gathering
together and telling stories, singing
songs, and maintaining the traditions
of Bonny Scotland.

HAS NO CLAIM.
County Indebted to Ex.Sheriff Bowen,
Instead of Vice Versa.

County Attorney Hughes has been
looking over the records with a view to
ascertaining the justice of the claim of
1925 81 made by Public Examiner Pope
against Ex-Sheriff d. T. Bowen. He
finds that Mr. Bowen drew only 80 cents
day for the board of prisoners when
the number was less than five, when he
was entitled to 81 cents The difference
of seven cents day for each prisoner
offsets the claim of excess payments
made by Gen. Pope, and leaves the
county indebted to Mr.. Bowen to the
amount of So to So. Mr. Hughes does
not think that the claims against other
officials and ex-officials will pan out
any better, but believes that the county
has just claim against the city for
board of prisoners.
Mr.. Hughes met this afternoon with
City Attorney Daley and City Record
er Williams and talked oyer the matter
of the county's claim against the city
for board of city prisoners.

been buying hogs for several days for
Mr. Besser, who takes all that they
have. Mr.. Besser will devote his atten-
ton to hogs, but will slaugh er the
Gait and sheep which Hoerr q Ore
buy, and will ship such of the beef and
nation to Minneapolis as is not needed
in the local trade. Heerr &TOre with

he deputy public examiners have
found three counties, Marshall, Blue
Earth and Winona, in which the county
commissioners have allowed more than
the legal rate for the county printing.
Gen. Pope has ordered the county
treasurers and auditors Of those coun-
ties to hold up the payment of the ac-
counts until they are made right.
Ire law allows charge of rs cents
per folio for the first insertion and
thirty five cents for each subsequent
insertion.
SO long as this rate is not exceeded.
Gen. Pope claims that it is immateriai
to the state whether the proceedings
are published IN one paper, or whether
all the papers in he county combine
and publish the matter in each of the
papers, but he holds that all ntracts
providing for more than the maximum
charge prescribed by law are illegal,
The above is from Thursdays st.
Paups Dispatch. Auditor Gunders and
Treasurer Ewing say that they have
had no such orders as Gen. Pope is
credited with having given them, and
know nothing about the matter.
H. G. Koerner, of st. Paul, deputy
public examiner, and J. o. Davis, of
Minneapolis assistant bank examiner.
are at work at the court house today
and expect to be busy until tomorrow
noon. They are looking up the coun-
tvs affairs from the time that Mr..
Davis brought them up to last fall.
Mr., Koerner states that he knows
nothing about the charge in the Dis
patch article so far ais it relates to Blue
Earth county. He has been in Marshall
and Winona counties. and in the latter
county found that the commissioners
are having the proceedings published
in twelve papers, the total paid exceed
ing the maximum allowed by law.
In regard to the printing contracts
awarded by the county board at the
January meeting, in this county, Mr..
Koerner states that the awards made to
the Free Press were legal, but as re-
CARDS the award of the financial state
ment to the Review at $3.50, it will be
Impossible to say whether it was legal
until the measurements have beer

Mr.. Koerner does not believe that cir
culation can be taken into account
where the law says that the contract
shall be awarded to the lowest bidder

RUSH LAKE.
Move on Foot to Divide up
It's Bed.
Some of the Adjoining Property Owners
Want ii Divided one Way,
Some Another.

There is a move on foot to have the
land formerly covered by Rush lake
divided up among the farmers who own
the adjoining land. The lake bed is
located about half way between Man
kato and Lake Crystal and contains
something over 200 acres. John T.
Lewis has started the ball rolling by
bringing an action in the district court
TO have the bed of the old lake divided
up, and Thomas d. Lewis and all of the
dozen other people interested in the
title to the land around the lake bed
are made defendants Mr. Lewis does
not specify in what manner he would
like to have the lake bottom divided.
Severance & Andrews are his attorneys.
Thomas D Lewis and Edward Davis,
two of the defendants, have retained @.
L. Benedict and make an answer.
They, also. ask to have the lake bed d.
vided, but want it split up according
to the rules followed in the case of
long, narrow lakes, and not those where
round lake beds are divided. They say
that the lake was very much longer
than it was wide. They also hold that
q ten acre tract of land, having been
held adversely for moe than twenty
years by Edward Davis, and within the
meandered lines of the said lake, is not
subject to such division except that the
same be included with the portion OF
the land allotted to Mr.. Davis under
the proceedings, This land has been
cultivated by Mr.. Davis and he wants
to keep it.

A BIG BILL.
Murray County Sends one to Blue Earit
County by Mistake.

County Auditor Gunders has received
letter from Auditor Chas. E. Weld, OF
Murray county, enclosing a bill fol-
$4,000, which he states the county
commissioners of his county have in
structed him to present to this county
The bill is for the case of Albert Rind-
fieisch, who is described as IAN escaped
prisoner from Blue Earth County"
From the bill, it appears the man was
cared for at the poor house from Aug.
1st to Oct. 9th, $780,
The bill was evidently sent to Mr..
Gunders by mistake, as it is intended
for the Faribault county commissioners
to settle it. Mr. Weld evidently got
Blue Earth county and the city of Blue
Earth mixed.
Ex-Sheriff Bowen states that Rind-
fieisch escaped from the Jail at Blue
Earth last summer and was subsequent
ly run over by train near Fairmont
and his legs cut off. He has relatives in
this county.
