ENTERTAINED JESSE JAMES.
A Mortified Man Gave Him Lodging
Ignorant of His Identity.

Sioux City, Iowa, March 25.-In the
audience that saw "Jesse James, the
Bandit Hero" was J. FL. Meyers, a
typical German farmer, who came
from his farm near Mortified, MINI. :,
to see the production of the melo =
drama. He was a homesteader near
Mortified, Mimi, at the time of the
famous Mortified bank robbery. A
short time after that event, young
aan, tired, nervous and hungry, rode
up to Meyers home and asked to stay
over night.
"We haven't very much, but if you
don't mind putting up with what we
have, we're glad to have you," Meyers
said.
The young man told Meyers ne was
stranded and on his way to southern
Iowa. The farmer remarked that he
had mighty fine horse for stranded
man. He left early next morning
A few hours later officers appeared,
and the astonished German learned he
had sheltered over night the famous
bandit, Jesse James. Ever since Mr..
Meyers has been interested in James,
and not being able to see the real man,
wanted to see the impersonation.

AN OVERALL FACTORY.

tion will hold regular meeting to-
night, and will consider business of
Importance.
Jay Henry Long will bring up the
matter of securing the overall factory
of st. Peter, which is doing profit
able business and employing fifty
hands. 1t is believed that this factory
could be secured for Mankato if the
proper effort was made It is under
stood that st. Peter is likely to have
another factory of the kind, and this,
added to the better shipping facilities
in Mankato, may help to get the fac
tory moved to this city.
More factories is one of che principal
things that Mankato needs, and every
effort should be made to get them.

In another column will be found a
notice signed by the chief of the fire
department and fire wardens, calling
attention to the ordinance recently
passed, referring to the depositing of
ashes and refuse material in alleys.
The ordinance is one that should be
complied with as it will tend to lessen
the danger from fire and keep the un-
slightly refuse from the public view
and clogging up the driveways through
the alleys.

lily and cheerfully comply with the
ordinance, and thus cooperate with
