WILL NOT CONTEST
Chief Bowen Satisfied With
County ttOr 3 Ruling,
He Says He VII; Not Lose BY The New
Plan, Making Up in Other
Ways.

Chief Bowen returned Thursday night
from Red Wing, where he took Bessie
Ross. The latter was pleased with the
training school when she saw what it
was like.
When asked what he thought of the
ruling of County Attorney Wilson,
cutting off his fees in state cases,
Mr.. Bowen said today:
Il am glad that he has made this
railing, as it will mean money in my
pocket. People seem to have an idea
that when the chief Of police goes to
some other town to get prisoner he
gets big fee out of it. They are badly
mistaken in this. Take for instance
the Mrs Hamilton case. The county
attorney instructed me to get her at
once at all hazards. She was at Ely
sian and it was feared that she would
leave. I wired the officer there to ar
rest her and then 1 got livery team
and drove there, a distance of twenty
miles, returning by morning. My
mIleage fees were ten cents a mile
each way, or 81. got %, cents for
serving the warrant and 81 for attend
ance at court, making So % in all that
1 received. ! paid Gates Phillips
So 30 for livery hire, the officer at
EIysian charged me So for making
the arrest and guarding the prisoner,
and lunches for four cost me 81. There
was 81. 80 that paid out This is the
way it goes. Sometimes I come out a
little ahead and sometimes behind.
The money to be made lies in sub
poeneing the witnesses after the pri-
soner has been secured.
''When an officer in some other place
makes an arrest at the request of the
Mankato officials he expects to be
paid for it. If he is not paid, the
Mankato authorities might whistle for
the next man they wanted, | have
never charged any officer for making
an arrest hitherto, but from now on L
shall have to charge.
ShaiI noI COhIoSV INC CcuHIJ dI-
torneE's railing, for [ believe lat it
is the law I will continue to serve
all warrants that the county attorney
requests me to serve if the state will
pay my expenses, as he says it will.
''The day police will be knocked out
of some fees, for I have always made
it a practice to divide equally when
an arrest is made on state warrant
in Mankato. The police will also re-
ceive no witness fees for testifying in
state cases. 1t is the officesr who will
lose and not the chief The sheriff
will not have any more business on ac-
count Of this ruling.

A SHORT COURTSHIP.
Former MankatO Resident Sues for
Divorce From Southern Wife.

| Wilbur j. Allen is suing for di-
vorce from Mora Allen. The case was
heard Friday at St. Paul and was
taken under advisement. The plaintiff
is a travelling man and makes long
trips for his music house. April, 1899,
he was taking a vacation at San An
tonia Tex, when he met the defend
ant He is now of the age of 46; she
is 81. He brought her to the north and
says that she flew back south in Sep
| TENDER, 1899.
When he first met her she was with
big sister in San Antonio, who was
milliner. After he had known the
lady for three weeks. the big sister
came to him one day, and, looking
him in the face. with great candor,
told him that she and her sister were
going away, and that if he meant
marrying now was his time, and she
added the dismal alternative of never.
Thus pinched to the point by the
big sister. Mr. Allen married the little
sister, doing some violence to his
judgment which had suggested longer
preliminary acquaintance. They came
north and lived in Mankato and in
other Minnesota towns, whittier he
went on business. In September, 1899,
she went south to visit her sister and
never returned. Plaintiff received a
number of letters from her dated at
different cities, and asking him for
money. Later his letters were re-
turned.
E. J. Whipple, travelling man of
st. Peter, was called. He had, he
testified, met Mrs. Allen at Mankato,
where Mr. Allen presented him. Later
he met her at ST. Peter, on July 4,
1899, when the city was celebrating.
"Mrs. Allen told me she was going
south because she said she did not like
the north, and didn't like the north
ern people she thought them too cold
blooded. Again, 1 met her at the ST.
Peter fair and asked her if she liked
the north any better, and she said
she did not, and that she was going
south soon, and had trunk full of
nice clothes She to Id me that she had
not loved Mr.. Allen when she married
him and she detested the northern
people as whole, for they were SO
cold blooded She said she would
never come north again.
'You were only casual acquaint-
ance and she told you all that?"
eyes She asked me to call on her
and gave me smile and a squeeze of
the hand and said that she was very
lonely, for Mr.. Allen was away much
of the time. -

A Dreaded Cattle Disease.

Anthrax, which has broken out in a
violent form among the herds of cattle
at Slate Hill, Orange county, is the
most dreaded disease with which cattle
can be afflicted, says the Sussex Regis
ter Veterinarians say that all car
cases and hides should be burn
ed, as there is danger of persons hand
ling them becoming infected with malig-
nant fistula. There are two types of the
disease. With the one the cattle die sud-
denly and without any apparent all
ment, while with the other they linger
several days Their temperature is high
carbuncles appear, their nostrils dilate
and their nose assumes a blush color.
Cows afflicted with the latter type are
very uneasy and are continuity paving
the ground. The disease is incurable,
but as a preventive cattle exposed to
the disease are inoculated with a liquid
by the use of hyperdermic syringe.

LACKAWANNA NOTES.

The revised plans providing for track
elevation in Newark will make an i'm
portant change regarding the location
of the Broad street depot. The building
will be nearer Broad street than origi-
nally designed. A covered passageway
will cross over Plane street under the
bridge that will cross that thoroughfare.
This bridge will be for the use of pas
sengers. There will be short flight of
steps leading directly from the sidewalk
on Broad street to this covered passage
way and another short flight from the
crowded passageway to the depot plat
forms, so that patrons of the road can
go directly from Broad street to the de-
pot platforms for either eastbound or
weetbound trains.

Dear Sirs Your business is, when a

paint the houses that don't burn down.
You insure the houses that burn; we
insure the houses that don't. You have
the ashes and the smoke; all the houses
are ours.
