an obstruction on the Chicago &
North Western railway track ..neal

examination Tuesday forenoon before
Judge Shissler, who bound him over

morning of Oct. 10th, testified to this
fact, and said that the jar broke the
headlight of his engine. The tie was
also broken.

of the Chicago & North Western road,
testified to Lovett's confession that he
had placed the tie on the track.

greater space to sporting news. and has
changed the makeup of the paper so
as to enable the reader to find at a

Czolgosz was electrocuted Tuesday
morning at 7 :12 o clock, and the last act
of the great tragedy enacted at Buffalo
has passed. 1t is said that his clothes
and all of his private belongings at the
prison will be burned, or rather were
today, to prevent their falling into the
hands of relic hunters. His body was
turned over to the prison officials to
dispose of, and it is said will be
covered with quicklime and buried on
prison ground. All that was connected
with him is to be put out of existence.
'Tis we'll. Detested wretch, let him
be banished from mems minds, and
the foul deed he committed made so
abhorrent in the public mind that
other depraved characters seeking
notoriety will pause, shudder and turn
away, before daring to step into such
a path.

THE MAPLETON SIDE.

Mapleton, Mimi, Oct. 90, 1901.
Editor Free Press: 1 take this oppor-
tunity to explain in regard to the foot
ball game between Mankato normal
and Mapleton last Saturday. The Re-
view, in its last nights edition, gave
a very biased account of the game. I
would take exception to some of their
statements. The article in question
states that Bateman, the normal full
back, was struck by Mapleton man
when he tackled him. Rupert, the
man tackled, says he did not strike
Bateman. Neither of the officials saw
it and not another man on either team
or any of the spectators saw it. Bate
man, however, Immediately placed his
knee on Rupert's breast and struck
him violently in the face number of
times until he was pulled off. The
officials ruled Bateman out, but the nor
mails refusing to play without him, the
referee declared the game forfeited to
Mapleton. The Review enormously
stated also that the visiting team had
been advanced 800 65. The Mapleton
team was in reality advanced $12 rs.
The egg episode at the Milwaukee de-
pot was not participated in by any of
the Mankato team but one, and we
understand he is not "a bona !. fide stu
dent 1T would be hard, to believe
about any of the students of as well
