NONUNION MAN ASSAULTED,
Timely Arrival of Troops Averts a
Serious Outbreak.

serious outbreak.
Shenandoah, Pa, Aug. 2S.-The
Governors troop under command of
Captain OFT left here on a special train
for the Panther Creek valley.
The second city troop of Philadel-
phia, under Captain Schermerhorn,
has been ordered by Governor Stone
to report to Colonel Clement, who is
in command here during the absence
of General Goblin.
Major Gearheart, who is in COM
mand of a battalion at Manila Park,
reported to Colonel Clement that
things have been in such a state of
turmoil in the Panther Creek region
during the last few days that he has
been unable to cover the disturbed
district with the force at his command
and asked for assistance. The colonel
at once got into communication with
Governor Stone and it was decided
to send the Governors troop to Gear
hart'S assistance and to reinforce the
command here with the Philadelphia
troops.
The timely arrival of a detachment
of soldiers on the scene averted a
serious outbreak. A nonunion work
man named Quinn was attacked by a
crowd of strikers near the Cambridge
colliery at the lower end of this city,
and was being roughly handled when
two of his friends rushed to his as
sistance and kept the crowd back with
drawn revolvers. In a few minutes
all three were surrounded by crowd
Of several hundred men and boys and
only the timely arrival of Provost
Marshal Farauhar with a detail of
soldiers prevented serious trouble.
The crowd fell back as the soldiers
approached with fixed bayonets and
the three men were hurried to place
of safety.

GET A LOCATION
New Bank Will Go Into Saul

Long, ime Lease Made, and a Vault
and Fixtures Will be Put
In at Once.

The Free Press was pleased to re,
ceive call this afternoon from
Messrs. A. o. and G. L. Oleson, who
are soon to organize and start another
national bank in this city. They have
applied to the proper authorities in
Washington for permission to organize
bank, and as soon as it arrives they
will call meeting of the subscribers
to stock for the purpose of forming an
organization.
The northeast corner room on the
first floor of the Saulpaugh block.
corner of Front and Main streets, has
been leased by the Messrs. Oleson for
five years with the privilege of ten,
and Mrs. Dittmann. the present oc-
cupant, has two weeks to move out.
A vault will be put in, and complete
bank fixtures, which will require some
little time. 1t is hoped, however, to
have the bank in operation by Now
1st. The location selected could
hardly be improved upon, as that
portion of the street has from time to
time agitated a new bank, and this
will fill the want. (.
A number of stock subscriptions
have been placed in Mankato, and
with what the Messrs, Oleson will
AXE, good deal more than half of
The entire capital stock has been sub
,cribed. A little of the tsock has been
to outside parties who are
anxious to secure such an investment.
No trouble is ANTICIPATED in placing
u balance.
G. L. Oleson, who is now cashier of
, bank at Howard Lake, S. D., has
had twenty years experience in the
business, and A. o. Oleson,
cashier of the bank at Wells, has had
nearly as much. Both will move to
and have a hand in the active
of the new bank. They
ire excellent gentlemen and will be
welcomed to the city.

STYLE ON COAST
How They Hold Political Con-
ventiOns There.
George T. Barr Writes Interestingly
of Los Angeles, His New
Field of Labor.

Hon. George T. Barr, now a resi-
dent of Los Angeles, Cal, writes a
very interesting letter. in which he
states that he has assumed his duties
with the Hayden & Lewis company of
that city, a manufacturing concern
He has general supervision of the
Office and enjoys his work. Mr.. and
Mrs. Barr will come to Mankato next
spring for the purpose of disposing of
what household goods they do not care
to remove to California. On Sept. 1
they will move to 1884 West Twenty
fourth street in Los Angeles. The
business address of Mr.. Barr is at 1913,
225 and 227 North Los Angeles street.
| Mr.. Barr sends copy of The Los
Angeles Daily Times containing the
story of the county convention held
there on Aug. 10 to nominate candi-
dates for judges of the superior court
and other officers. The convention, so
Mr.. Barr writes, held three sessions
daily, morning, afternoon and evening
and continued until Friday afternoon.
The campaign committee consists of
one member from each precinct in
both county and city, making a COM
mittee of 1873 in all.
In the report Of the committee on
order of business it reads: "We
recommend that all candidates be as
sessed $40 each to be paid when their
names are presented to the conven-
ton, except thar candidates for JUS
tees OF the peace and constables for
townships outside of incorporated
cities be assessed only SO. 30 each. Also
that resolution be adopted that a
committee be appointed by the chair
man to audit, expend and disburse all
moneys in accordance with the purity
of the election law.
The officers of the convention were
paid salaries as follows:
"To the secretary of the convention
at the rate of So per day; to assistant
secretaries, at the rate of 81 per day
to the sergeant alarms and first assis-
tant sergeantat- arms, So. 30 per day
to assistant sergeant-at-arms, $3 per
day, night sessions being counted as
part of the day"
Like all political conventions the
Los Angles one had it's fun, according
to the following:
&C. s. Bayha of Glendora caused a
good deal of merriment by an attempt
to averat the tax of 81 head levied
on all delegates by the committee on
resolutions, Bayhs wanted to emanci-
pate his fellow delegates, and assess
candidates $50 each. The candidates
shut Bayha off, but Bayha at first re
fused to stay shut, and clamored for
recognition, which the chair calmly
refused.
"Bayha said afterward that he
would hold his delegation and the
convention for week before he would
submit to such an Outrageous i'm
position" were it not that his straw
berries needed irrigation, and he
couldn't spare the time"
Mr.. Barr writes that he is enjoying
the best of health and feels very much
better than he did when he first went
out to California

HELD UP N.P.TRAIN
Band in Idaho Get Nothing
for Their Labor. .
Attempt to Dynamite the Express Car
Is FaiIure-Desperadoes Make
Their Escape.
ESPECIAL TO THE FREE PRESS

/ Spokane. Aug. 26.-Seven masked
men held up a Northern Pacific train
at Sand Point, Idaho, at eleven
O'Clock last night. They compelled the
engineer to uncouple the express car
and pull several miles ahead. An at
tempt to wreck the Car with dynamite
failed and the robbers decamped. A
posse is in pursuit.
The desperadoes went through the
usual procedure in forcing the en-
gineer to pull the express Car ahead,
holding revolvers to his head and
threatening to blow his brains out if
he refused to obey their commands.
The scene of the hold-up is in a
lonely spot and in country not
thickly settled.
The express messenger stood by his
post and refused to obey the orders of
the robbers to open the doors to
the Car.

LARGEST IN THE WORLD.
The New Sheep Exhibition Building at
the Minnesota State Fair.

Among the many improvements
upon the Minnesota state fair grounds
this year, the new sheep exhibition
building and the rebuilt grand stand
are the most CONSPICUOUS. The sheep
building stands in the southwest
corner of the grounds, west of the
group of cattle barns. It is the largest
sheep exhibition building in the
world. Its dimensions are about 150x
100 feet, while to the ridge from the
ground is about 80 feet through the
center runs wide aisle over which
the roof is elevated, allowing for
many large windows and ample light
in every part of the building. On
the two roofs, at the other side of the
building number of skylights and
around the sides of the building are a
large number of windows. All the
windows are made to slide to the sides
so that they may be opened to their
full size.
The sheep pens, in this new build
ing, will be made of patent wire
fencing which will allow the best pos
sible opportunity of seeing the sheep
as we'll as greatly improving the ap-
pearance of the interior of the build
ing. There will be broad aisles
through every part of the building
and the size of the structure is 30
great that fully 900 sheep can be
placed upon exhibition without crowd
ing. In the center of the building
there will be a small amphitheatre
where the sheep will be judged or
brought out for special inspection.
The Improvements in the grand
stand this year consist in the extern
sion of the eastern end of the stand
which adds to the seating capacity
about 5000, and with the extension
built at the west end last, makes the
Minnesota fair grand-stand one of the
largest, if not the largest, in the
country. It will not seat comfortably
upwards of 200. 90 people. In addition
to these extensions the whole grand
stand has been rebuilt to large ex-
tent and the upper part is now being
remodeled On more modern basis.
A large number of smaller buildings
are to be erected before the :air
Among them are buildings by the
New England Furniture and Carpet
Co., The International Stock Food
Co., The Christian Science church and
other outsiders, while the fair people
have put up new fire engine, house
toilet room and other lesser structures
In addition the fair management have
built nearly mile Of sidewalks, con-
Meeting the buildings, have graded the
grounds around the agricultural hall,
and planted them with trees and orna-
mental shrubs. A considerable amount
of planting has been done which has
greatly improved the appearance of
the buildings. There has been so
much rain this summer that the
grounds are in a most beautiful con-
dition.
The fair dates are Sept. to 6.
