The United States grand jury quickly
found indictments against the Loeffel-
macher brothers, John A. and fAlbert,
who 1t will be remembered were arrest
ed and bound over last summer on the
charge of sending improper literature
through the mails. John, the older, was
brought up from the county Jail at St.
\ Peter. by Sheriff Mcmillan. Albert was
brought to the trial by his father.
John, the older, boy of nineteen
pleaded guilty and received the judicial
clemency that is almost invariably ac-
Icorded to criminals who make clean
confession. 49, r.

water. =, At the end of his term he will
probably still have the dynamite charge
hanging over him and will be tried for
this offense in the state district court at
st, Peter. .z##
h Albert, the thirteen year old brother
of the above mentioned, pleaded not
guilty. The court concluded to cont1n-
ue his case until the next regular term
of the United States district court. II
during that time young Albert behaves
properly the indictment against him will
be nollied.
| The hearing of the Loeffelmacher's
came off in St. Peter on Saturday. Albert
Pfaender was present in behalf of the de-
Tense. The hearing as is we'll known
was for the charge as preferred against
them by Sheriff Mcmillan of putting
dynamite in the engine belonging to
John Mans. The arrest took place more
than three weeks ago, but the escape OF
the boy and the hunt tor him delayed
the proceedings and it was not until
Saturday that the officers were able IT
get down to business. The elder Loeffel.
macher had his hearing some time ago
and was bound over to the grand jury
and is out ON bail furnished by his
brother in the sum of 5000, but the
boy will have to pass the time in jail
until the grand jury disposes Of his case
or until the United States court provides
a place for him as probably will in the
session that began in Mankato today
After he has done the stunt required by
that court he will then be subject to the
provisions of the Nicollet county cour
and between the two he will have ample
time for reflection. The officers claim te
have evidence that will fasten the gull
of the crimes on the ia Their as we'll as thu
son but the father denies any completely
in the acts of the boy and made the state
ment when he offered the reward for the
capture of the boy that he had helped
him all that he would and was done with
him.
John Loeffelmacher made writer
confession of the crimes he had been i'm
2 plicated in for the past five years or more
evidently thinking that when he had don,
that he would be allowed TO 90 home
aud was surprised when he found tbA
he wasn't to be given his liberty. Th,
substance Of his confession was that ht
aud the hired man Julius Zienk
Ipianned to blow up the threshing ma
chine. Zienke proposed the thing an.
he fell into it. They procured the pip
= and loaded it and Zieuke took 1t over Il
the engine but it was too long and h
brought it back. They then gave it t
August Loeffelmacher one day when h
was going % town and had him bring i
in and have it cut off and threads turne,
on the ends for the caps. The charg
was then returned by the boys and tn
hired man placed it in the engine. H
claims that his father was ignorant Q
the whole proceedings. He also confess
led to setting fire to the barn belongin
to Kienlan. He with Quinn stayed j
the school house until it was the RICH
hour according to their calculation an,
then they went and did the deed. Fl
was not implicated in the cattle poison
ling case at all, and was guilty Of send
