SEEKING THEIR DAUGHTER.
Parents of Clara Olsen Have a Letter
From Her Lover.

The family of Miss Clara A. Olsen,
the Minneapolis girl who left home
nine days ago, has heard nothing from
her, though it is thought she may
have gone to Winona, to which place
letter for her has been addressed.
The members of the family are
especially anxious to find her, as a
letter has been received which will
entirely clear up the matter which is
thought to have caused her to leave
home.
It will be remembered that she was
said to have left in order not to stand
in the way of the love of her sister for
young man who was formerly SOL
der on the Philippines and whom
Clara also thought great deal Of.
The letter referred to is from this
Young man and is frank and out
spoken declaration of affection for tn,
missing girl.
What is more, Clara's sister Bertha
in whose interests Clara left home, de
clares positively that she is not spec
tally interested, as asserted in tn
young man, and that she would d
anything in the world to get her siste
back.
i In the light of all this it is hope
that the missing girl will quickly re
turn home.

Small Pox Victim Found at the Union
Depot.

Miss Angelina Smith, whose home
is near st. Peter, but who has been
living with her grandmother, Mrs.
Siebauer, at 214 North Fifth street
and taking sewing lessons, created a
sensation Sunday afternoon at the
union depot. She was taken sick and
started to take the train for home.
She stopped at store on her way to
the depot, and her face was seen to be
badly broken out. The health officer
was notified and found the young lady
at the depot. He took her in charge
and sent her to the quarantine hos
pital. Miss Smith was found to have
we'll developed case of small pox.
People at the depot who heard of it
side stepped in lively manner.

not believe that the depot was infect

NO TRIAL UNTIL JUNE.

The st. Peter Herald says that the
rumors to the effect the Tankes would
have their trial at special session of
court in April are with out founda-
ton. 1t says:
AS a matter Of fact no special term
is likely to be ordered without the
consent of the attorney of the state.
Mr. Davis says that he has not been
consulted in the matter, but that he
expects to try the case at the regular
term to be held in June. All of the
witnesses have been subpoenaed for
the regular term, and to re-subpoena
these and summon special ju y
would involve an expense of thous-
and or two dollars, for which there is
no necessity. Mr.. Eckstein's conten-
ton for speedy trial is not good. He
had an opportunity for trial at one
time, and he took a change of venue,
knowing that the trial would be de-
layed for number of months. His
clients will have to wait until June,
as it is not probable that the attorneys
for the state will consent to a trial
| before that time.

STORE BURGLARIZED.
Thief Makes Way With Some Cigars
and Pines,

Some time between twelve O'Clock
Saturday night and Sunday morning
Chas. J. Macbeth's store, formerly
Dooley & Co.'s, was entered by a
thief, who secured considerable plum
der. The fellow got in by prying up
a rear window, and he turned down
the light in order to work undisturb-
ed.
1t is not known definitely what
was taken, but three boxes of nickle
cigars and ten or dozen pipes are
missing. The pipes include one or two
meerschaums. The thief knew
enough about the stock to take the
best.
No money was taken, but an at
tempt was made to pry open the cash
register. A money drawer that was
formerly used was also opened. Is is
suspected that the party who did the
work has some acquaintance with the
store.
One of the pipes is said to have been
picked up yesterday on a back street,
where it was dropped during the hasty
de parture of the thief.
