SENSATION FADES AWAY.
Animal Supposed to Have Been Killed in
DecOria Still at Large.

County Superintendent Freeman
took look at the animal that was
killed in Decoria after long chase,
and pronousces it as being .unmis
takeably very large dog of blush
gray color. It had been buried, bu
was disinterred for his inspection. He
is convinced that this is not the ami
NAL that has been playing havoc with
the farmers hogs, and the farmers..i in
the neighborhood are also so convinc-
ed. The claws are no longer than any
other dogs and could not have torn
the flesh of hogssas was the case with
the hogs that were attacked, The dog
appeared in the day time, a thing
which the animal never did when he
attacked hog pens.
The chase was not nearly so excit-
ing as was made to appear by reports
brought to the city. No Winchester
rifle was used. The dog was seen COM
ing along thes.road and a son of Casper
Schultz got his shot gun, and when
the canine turned from the road in
the direction of the pig pen he shot
it, inficting slight wound in the
body. 1t turned and trotted down the
road, not once leaving that gait, even
when pursued. 1t was followed on
horseback by Ira Romack and large
andssvicious bull dog, but the latter
did not dare to attack the strange dog,
running every time that the latter
snapped at it. The dog did not get out
of the way of the horse, and Mr..
Romack shot it in the left shoulder.
It fell, but before he could reload it got
up and went on. He headed it off
and shot it in the head, which killed
it. The dog was covered with mud
and is believed to have strayed from
some farm house. 1t did not offer to
attack man, horse or dog.

CAN GET TITLE.
City Attorney Daley Starts an Import.
ant Move For the City.

City Attorney Daley has been study.
ing up the charter provisions for the
collection of special assessments and
has come to the conclusion that the
city can obtain title to land that is bic
in by it at forfeiture sale, and he will
proceed to secure title for the city te
land which it has bid in up to the pre-
sent time.
Under the charter, land is sold after
time to satisfy delinquent special as
sessments, and at this forfeit ture sale
the city bids in such of the land as il
not redeemed by the owners or pur
chased by other bidders at a price
which allows the city to come out
even on the special assessments, inter
est and penalties. The city haI
81, 600 to Sc, 900 ties up in lands that il
has bid in. '..
Five years must elapse after the for
fixture sale, during which the former
owner can redeem. The charter pro
vides that the treasurer shall give
notice three months before the expira
ton of the period of redemption by
publication for six weeks Then, if the
land is not redeemed. deed shall be
executed by the mayor and recorder
to the city or whoever else bought the
land at the forfeiture sale.
st. Paul has such charter provision
and has been carrying it out for years.
The result has been that many of the
assessments have been paid before the
expiration of redemption. and Mr..
Daley believes that the same thing
will happen here, giving the city q
good deal of money that is due it and
that has been outstanding for years.
An impression has hitherto prevailed
thatthe city could nor give good title tc
land bought at forfeiture sale, and fol
this reason many assessments have
not been paid andno body has offered
to take land off of the hands OF
the city.
Mr.. Daley proposes to inauguarate
a cleaning up of the city's tax pur-
chases.

WILL PROTECT GAME.

A bill has passed the legislature
which will put stop to hunting be-
fore the season opens. It makes il
unlawful for anyone to go into the
fields with gun and dog before the sea-
son opens. Some hunters have been in
the habit of going out with gun and
dog and claiming that they were
simply training or exercising the dog,
or else that they were only after snipe
or plover. This law will keep Mankato
hunters at home until it is lawful fol-
them to shoot game.

ment of I. Thos. Griff on the police
force was received. 1t was largel y
signed.
Several bills were allowed.
At the suggestion of City Recorder
Williams the council voted to allow
no bills that have not been presented
twenty four hours before the meet
ing, in order that they may be pro-
perly audited.
Aid Heinze said that the bills are
rushed through too fast. He favored
having them read and referred to the
auditing committee to report upon at
the next meeting, except labor bills.
There being no further bust ness, ad-
journment was taken.
The meeting was preceded by the
usual secret session.

FARM LAND ADVANCING.

August F. Wenner has sold a farm
of 1870 acres four miles east of the city
limits to Heinrich Potz for 81, 000 This
is $5S. 33 an acre, and shows how farm
land is advancing in value in this
county. Several large sales of land for
$50 and 500 an acre, several miles
from Mankato this spring show that
land in Blue Earth county has kept
pace with the advance of farm lands
elsewhere.

= Vernon Center News Amboy and
Garden City are moving to take ad-
vantage of the 1897 law of Minnesota,
which made arrangements to inaugur-
ate the township" system of consoli-
dation of school districts. The writer,
while in Mankato few days ago, had
an interview with County Superin-
tendent Freeman, relative to the ad-
visibility of Vernon adopting it and
he suggested that he knew no place
better adapted to make success of it
than Vernon, and also that Vernon
needed it as badly as any other place
in the county. Let us settle on some
one plan to .improve-our schools and
! then work it as one person.

The report of George E. Roberts. di

ed June 80. 1901. has been completed.
The coinage of the minis during the
fiscal year amounted to 1888, 13z
pieces. of the value of 36.340.7SI. or
this the sum Of s9s ,065,715 was in gold.

the Philadelphia mint 225,000 gold
pieces of the value of s549,014 for the
government of Costa Rica-
The coinage of silver dollars during
the year was wholly from the stock of
bullion accumulated under the act of
July 16. 1890. The amount of this bull
lion on hand at beginning of the fiscal
year was S3,2ss.o54 standard ounces.
The coinage of this bullion has been ac-
ce,erated TO enable thetreasury to retire
the treasury notes issued in its pur-
chase, and at the same time supply
the pressing demand which has exist
ed throughout the year for the small
denominations of money required in re
tail trade.
The original deposits of gold at the
mints and assay Offices amounted TO
s15S.1 $50. an increase of s19,1S1.561
over the preceding year. or this the
sum OF s27. 500. 4S9 was in foreign coin,
SIT ,6o0.46S that of Great Britain,
nearly all being from Australia; and
IS. 425, 500 that of Japan.
The estimated production of gold in
the United States during the calendar
year 1900 was $79.171 900. and notwith-
standing the fact that this country led
the world in production. its imports
exceeded its exports by sl2, S66.010 The
of North America, practical

year 1900 was 1854 1886, 4s7,
and of silver. $177.011.902.
