AFTER VIOLATORS.
Game Warden, From St. Peter Operating
in This County.

There are complaints in all direc-
tions of hunters violating the law
which does not permit the shooting of
prairie chickens or ducks until Sept
LIST. Thursday a game warden from
st. Peter was in the city and stated
that 50 many complaints had been
made to the game and fish commission
at ST Paul that he had received in
.struetibns from it to operate in this
county and especially to arrest Man
kato aud st. Clair hunters who are
violat;ls the law. 1t is not fair to
those who are law abiding to have the
law breakers get the best of the hunt
ing, and determined effort should be
made to stop the prairie chicken piracy
that is going on. A few prosecutions,
W it'll the confscation of guns and dogs
would be the most effectual means
of stopping it.

l a-' ATTEMPTED HOLD-UP.
(. Rogers, the Rapidan Miller, Escap.
es From Three Pursuers.

Last Saturday night an attempt was
made to hold up T. L. Rodgers, the
Rapidan miller, eighty rods west of
the Payne farm He was driving
home from Mankato after having sold
some -four, and when he reached the
point named three men stepped out
from the sides of the road and com
manded him to give up his money or
his life. He pluckily applied the
whip to his horses and ran them the
remaining three miles to his home
The three men mounted bicycles and
gave him chase, but were unable to
overtake him. The affair happened
at about ten o'clock Mr. Rogers did
not recognize any of the men as being
parties that he had seen before, and he
believes that they were tramps or foot
pads.

CAUTION is URGED.
School Officers Warned to Look Out for
Infectious Diseases.

Principals of schools through the
state, superintendents and school
boards are being notified through a
circular letter from the state board of
health to take extra precautions at the
opening of the fall terms to prevent
the Introduction and spread of infec-
tious diseases. The letter suggests
that a medical inspector for all school
boards and villages should be chosen,
to work in harmony with the various
boards and state sanitary authorities
in supervising diseases among public
school attendants. The suggestion is
also made that this course will result
in almost eliminating the danger of
epidenics among school children and
will add to the safety of their health
while engaged in their school duties.
A warning bearing upon the prevail
ance of small pox in certain portions
of the state is given and it is urged
that vaccination be required from
pupils entering school this fall.

sed so far as John Safer was concern
ed, on the grounds that there was no
evidence that he had committed a
crime, or that he was connected with
it if crime had been committed in
LIE Sueur county.
G. S. Ives, of st. Peter, who has
been retained by citizens in LIE Sueur
county to assist the county attorney
in prosecuting the case, opposed the
motion, and cited law to the effect that
a person who is an accessory before the
fact is as guilty as the others. The
evidence, he said, shows that John
S ALTER had been intimate with Miss
Watson and that she became pregnant
by him. He did not know that she
was rid of her child, and it was an
object for him to have her out of the
way.
The spectators appauded loudly as
Mr.. Ives concluded his remarks.
Mr.. Pau broke in, ''That is right, -
applaud, this is nothing but circus,
anyway.
Mr.. Pau addressed the court and
took the stand that Miss Watson had
met John Sa lfer for the purpose of ex-
torting money from him. He said
that the defense would prove that she
never was pregnant with child There
was no evidence to show that John
Safer had any connection with this
case, and that he could not be held
because somebody else had stepped in
and taken the lady away. There was
no proof that John Salfer was an
accessory before the fact.
Justice Moses denied the motion.
Mr.. Comstock suggested that on &C
count of the courts poor hearing a
transcript of the evidence be given
him and he pass on the motion later
The justice replied that he had heard
the evidence and was prepared to pass
on the matter.
The defense waived further exam
ination, and the court found the evil
dence to be sufficient to bind the de-
PENDANTS over to the grand jury, which
meets Sept. 10th
The prisoners were taken to the LIE
Sueur Center Jail The justice court
did not have jurisdiction in the mat
ter of admitting bail. Application
may be made to Judge Caldwell. and

will fix the bail John Safer will
probably furnish bail

A BIG APPLE CROP.

Amboy Herald: Never in the his
tory if Blue Earth county has there
been so large crop of apples, and
the question arises, how will they be
disposed Of Even with moderate
crop it has been found difficult to find
a home market for them all, for the
reason that they are not keepers. Min
nesota pays out large sum every fall
for eastern winter apples. So it is a
pity that our fruit growers have not
succeeded in raising apples that would
keep through the season. At one time
in our history the effort to grow ap-
Piles of any variety was we'll nigh
abandoned but gradual change to
the better came, and today the Mime
sofa farm that does not have an or
chard on it is rare.
This brings us back to our first
question, what is to be done with the
present great surplus A small guam
tity can be worked off onto the oblig-
ing country merchants. who in turn
sells to the village trade, and often
loses money on them, so liable are they
to perish on his hands. Shipments to
the cities have been tried from time
to time, but invariably at loss to
the shipper. The small boys have been
doing their best to reduce the stock,
but even they with their great capa-
city are getting discouraged and are
about to turn their attention to water
melons and later on to wild plums.

PARTIALLY PARALYZED.

Harry Foster, son of M. A. Foster,
of Indian Lake, aged twenty one years
lies at his home in a partly paralyzed
condition. He was riding horseback
the other day and the horse ran away
and threw him off against tree.
He struck back of his ear, fracturing
the skull at the base of the brain. He
lost his hearing in one ear, and one
side of his face was paralyzed, and
this unfortunate condition still exists
The attending physician believes that
he will come out all right in short
time, the paralysis passing away.

miracle A case was discovered this
morning at Winnebago City, where
two doctors examined a stranger and
declared that he was afflicted with
small pox. The lower part of his face
was a mass of ulcers. The man got
on the branch train to Lake Crystal,
that connects with No. 6, and told
the conductor that the doctors had pro-
nounced his case small pox. He said
that one of the doctors told him to
leave the town, and he had therefore
purchased a ticket to Jordan.
The conductor put the man off at
Amboy, ordered all of the passengers
out of the car and locked it. He then
wired to headquarters and received
orders to leave the Car at Lake Crystal,
where it would be fumigated,. The
authorities of Mankato should be on
, the lookout that this or some other
small pox patient is not shipped here.

FIGMAN KNOWS ANIMALS.
One Of Anna Held's Company Offers
Some Advice to Madame Morrelli.

Max Figman, who plays a dual role in
"Papas Wife," the entertaining and lavish
ly mounted musical comedy in which Anna
Held is starring this season, also knows
something about wild animals. Mr.. Fig
man was an interested spectator of the
acts of Captain Bonavita and Madame Nor
relli at Bostock's geological gardens yes
terday afternoon. After he had seen the
exhibition he was discussing its merits in
the lobby of the Bates House in company
with John Kernel, of the Behman show
at the Park, and Charles A. Bigelow, Anna
Held's principal comedian. THAT act of
Captain Bonavta's is very fine" said Mr..
Figman, but really think Madame Nor
relli is in the greater danger during the
time she is in the large arena with those
jaguars and leopards. / think, however,
the management OF the place could pattern
after the Hagenbeck wild animal show in a
way to make the madame and captain
little more safe while they are in the cage
with those animals. AT the Hagenbeck
show when a trainer is in the arena with a
lot of lions other animals several Great
Dane dogs are turned into the cage and
remain there all the time the exhibition Is
going on. Those dogs trained that
III a lion makes an attack on his trainer
they will at once jump on TO the lion and
distract his attention from the man. In
addition to this safeguard half dozen men
are stationed at frequent intervals around
the exhibition den, and these men are pro-
viGed with long iron rods, the ends of which
are kept at red heat. In case of sudden
attack on a trainer by his beasts the hot
irons are forthwith jabbed into the flesh
of the animal until he is glad to let go Of
the man. / think the trainers at the In
dianapolis Zoo are a little too careless. 1
understand from Captain Bonavita that he
is contemplating the great feat of training
twenty-five lions to go through certain
tricks in the same cage. If he does this he
will have beaten the record of the Hagen
beck trainers, for none of them has ever
succeeded in handling as many as twenty
five lions at one time" Charles Bigelow
declared he would not be in the position of
either Captain Bonavita or Madame Nor
relli even If the added precautions should
be taken.
