TWO BOYS SHOT.
Sons of A. M. Lorentz Injured
Saturday Afternoon.
Two Other Boys With Shot Gun Fir
ed the Shot and Then Ran Away.
Names Unknown.

Two young sons of A. NJ. Lorentz,
who conducts grocery store at III
North Sixth street, were painfully but
not seriously injured Saturday by
receiving charge of shot in their
faces They were busy gathering
leaves on the side hill near the Bier
bauer brewery at shortly after eleven
O'Clock, when two boys on the brow of
the hill fred gun in their direction.
They were so far away that the gun
must have been aimed over them for
the charge to have hit them.
The older boy, George, received nine
shot in his face, mostly on the left
side, one of these lodging in his ear.
The younger boy, Peter, received one
shot in his forehead and one in his
face. The shot penetrated the skin,
and narrowly missed the boys eyes.
George is twelve years old and Peter
five years.
Mrs Lorentz heard the younger boy
crying and ran to see what was the
matter, and she brought the two boys
home Dr. Andrews was summoned
and dressed the injuries
Officer Thilgen made thorough in
vestigation of the affair, but could not
learn who the boys were who fired the
gun. They had run away as soon as
they fired the shot. A number of peo-
pie saw the occurrence, but could not
identify the boys.
One theory is that the boys fired the
shot in order to brighten the Lorentz
boys, aiming far above them.
There is too careless use of fire
arms by young boys in this city, and
the authorities should put stop to all
shooting of dangerous weapons within
the city limits.

The jury was out three hours Friday
evening in the cases of Anna S. Gre
CORY and Seeley G. Gregory against

tion. The suits were brought to re-
cover damages aggregating S25. 600
for alleged injuries received by Mrs
Gregory by falling on the depot plat

There being no other business before

TO THE JURY.
The Gregory Case Against the
Milwaukee Road.
The Defense Puts on Testimony to
Show That it Was Not Negligent
in Any Respect.

The trial of the $25, 600 damage suits
of Anna S. Gregory and Seeley q.
Gregory against the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul railway company
was completed in the United States
court Friday afternoon. J.D. Larrabee
of Minneapolis closed the case with a
strong argument for the defense, after
which Judge Lochren gave his charge
to the jury.
The railroad produced three wit
nesses to prove that the depot platform
was lighted on the night of the al
legged accident. One of these was the
man who lighted the lamps, and an
other was the driver who was at the
depot to meet Mr.. and Mrs Greg ory
This man was at the other end of the
platform, but it was so light that he
could see Mr.. and Mrs. Gregory get
off of the cars and saw the latter fall
on the platform. Several witnesses tes-
titled that Mrs. Gregory stumbled over
her own baggage on the platform. af-
ter the brakeman had helped her from
the car and had gotten upon the car
again himself.
One Of the witnesses for the defense
was a man from the home town of the
Gregorys, and he testified that Mrs.
Gregory had walked lame as long as
he had known her, which was long
prior to the alleged accident at Ell
wood, Iowa.
The physicians who testified for the
defense said that Mrs. Gregory's in
jury was not serious. The witnesses
for the plaintiffs had testified that one
of her bones was fractured and that
she was permanently injured and
would always be lame.
AS stated yesterday, the evidence
was very contradictory and much
mixed up.

The Free Press the Leader Only 500 a Year
ORDER HELD UP.
Expense Account of City'S Delegates
Il to Good Roads Congress.

City Recorder W illiams has signed
all of the orders for bills allowed by
the council at it's meeting Oct. 18th,
except the one for $3.50 allowed Mayor
Petersen and City Engineer Thompson
for their expenses in attending the
good roads congress at Buffalo.
This bill reads, "For expenses of
mayor and engineer to Buffalo good
roads convention, and is sworn to by
City Engineer Thompson as being
correct.
When asked today why he was un-
willing to sign this order, Mr.. Will
liams declined to make any statement.
1t is understood, however, that he
does not object to the amount, but
wants the bill itemized. While the
records of the council proceeding show
that the city agreed to pay only the
railroad fare of the mayor and en-
gineer to Buffalo and return, it is un-
drestood that this is not the point that
Mr.. williams is holding off on. The
bills are for railroad fare and other
expenses, and if the records do not
show that all legitimate expenses con-
nected with the trip were to be paid
by the city, it was certainly the inten-
ton of the council to pay these ex-
penses
While the only persons which the
council voted to pay the expenses of
to the good roads convention were
Mayor Petersen and City Engineer
Thompson, it is known that Aid.
Leonard attended the Pan-American
exposition at the same time that the
other officials did. Mr.. Leonard, not
having been sent as delegate, of
course did not and could not put in a
bill to the council for his expenses.
The bill of $3.50 put in by the mayor
and city engineer may seem to some to
be large enough to have paid the ex-
penses of three persons, yet it should
be remembered that railroad fare is the
smallest part of the expense of travel
ing.
The mayor and engineer were gone
the greater part of week, and their
bill if itemized would no doubt show

Vernon Center News: The "Hot
Air" street car line for Mankato has
collapsed for want of hot air to cause
the bonds to rise and float among the
capitalists. Between cold gas and hot
air, our capital city is kept in hot
water most of the time and will be un-
til she makes up her mind that she has
capital enough within her own borders
to build and equip a line, without
going to New York for aid. Mankato
needs good street car line and will
get it as soon as she gets out OF the
"gaseous" condition she seems to be
floating in.
