down from Brandon, Man, and re-
stored comparative happiness this

Oldest daughter, a girl of IS, may also

three n1eces, aged respectively Is, 1 3

TO BOND 10 MILES
Plan Perfected by Directors Of the
Minnesota Central Railway
Company.
A New York Firm Makes a Propo.
sition to Take the
Bonds.

At meeting of the officers and d.
rectors Of the Minnesota Central Rail-
way company, at the West hotel to-
day, the board accepted an offer to
bond the ITO miles OF proposed road
between Mankato and st. Cloud for
100000.
There were present David H.
Beecher, president Of ..th board and
OF the Union National bank of Grand
Forks, N. D.; George r. Van Reed,
vice president, Reading. Pa; G. H.
Mackenzie, investment broker Of Gay
president OF the Bankers Syn
dictate company of Reading, Pa;
Colonel J.. T. Small Of lewiston, Me. !;
John r. Bucks of Wernesville, Pa,
and Thomas K. Dalzell of Reading,
Pa. The only members absent We're
Hector B. Cady Of Minneapolis and
Edward l.. Perkins Of Philadelphia.
The acceptance of the proposition
made by the New York bonding firm,
the name of which we do not wish to
make public at this time, means that
the road will be built next year. and
that the work of construction will be-
gin early in the spring" said William
S. Lambert, who has taken an active
interest in the project.
The official route passes from Man
kato thru Nicollet, New Sweden, Gay
lord, New Auburn, Browton, Green
leaf, Hutchinson, probably Watkins,
and thence to ST.. Cloud. At Gaylord
it crosses the Minneapolis & St. Louis,
at Browton the H. & D. division of the
Milwaukee, at Hutchinson the Milwau-
kee and the Great Northern, at Itch
field the Great Northern and at st.
Cloud it enters into competition with
both the Great Northern and the
Northern Pacific. A branch will also
be built from New Sweden to New
Ulm, eighteen. miles.
While it is generally supposed that
the new road will become part of
Mankato Is to. be a part of this sys-
tenn, which will be completed only
when line Is built from st. Cloud to
the head Of the lakes, none of those
at the meeting to-day would be quoted
on the subject. -.>,

RIOTERS WONT STARYE
Proating by Experience They'll
- Take Their Own Commits
= sary to Madison.

Colonel F.. M. Joyce has evolved a
plan by which football rooters who &c
| to the Madison game will travel in
comfort andsat the same time will
avoid all annoyances and the starva-
ton which stared the enthusiasts
from Minneapolis in the face at the
time of the last descent on the uni
versity town.
In fact, those who go on the spec
ial train to be furnished by the Oma-
ha road will hardly have to think.
When the round trip ticket to Mad
have supplied himself with sleeping
and eating privileges, admission to
the game, reserved seat, opportunity
to go to the theater at Milwaukee in
the evening and an assured certainty
that he will be in Minneapolis in
time to eat, shave and get to work
at a. m. the following day. .-.z-..
The colonel has headed other in
vasions of the sort and his leadership
insures everything that is advertised.
The plan Is this: The party of 200
will leave Minneapolis at II p. m.
Thanksgiving eve. The means Of
transportation will be six Pullmans;
the eating opportunities will be fur
nished in three diners and one club
car. Should all the restaurants and
hotels in Madison burn, the Mime
apolis rooters will still live in peace
on board the train.
1t is proposed that the train shall
leave Madison Immediately following
the victory of the Minnesota team
without delay for dinner. Milwaukee
will be reached in time to see the
rise. of the curtain in the theaters
and departure will be at such an hour
that arrival in Minneapolis at a. m.
is assured. - -
Seventy-five reservations have been
made already. - ." 49, ~.

Us. LAW
Important Question Raised in Case
Taken From Justice to Dis
trict Court.
Does Transcript Of All Evidence
Have to Be Certified
Practice Says No.

Must a transcript OF all evidence
taken in municipal or justice
court be certified to the district CURT
preparatory to a hearing therein?
This interesting question was raised
by T. Hutchinson in Judge Pond g
court room this morning at the trial
of William Bursch, indicted on the
charge Of being the father of an lille
Ultimate child. The point was raised
on the defendants motion to dismiss
the case, it being shown that no cor
rect copy Of the preliminary hearing
before Justice Of the Peace Charles
Zieberch of Maple Grove had been
certified to the district court. Mr..
Hutchinson backed his contention by
the statute and several leading au-
thorities, Judge Pond denied the mo-
ton stating, however, that it could be
raised again when the county attor-
which to look up authorities. s,.-
The statute seems very plainly to
indicate that complete transcript of
preliminary evidence shall be kept
and certified to the higher court. If
such is declared to be the law it will
revolutionize the municipal and JUS
t1ce court practice, which has hereto
fore required no complete copy Of the
evidence. Assistant County Attorney
wilson, representing the state in the
argument this morning, appreciated
the strength of Mr.. Hutchinson's con-
tention and when he saw the author
tiles, remarked We'll, you know very
well, Mr.. Hutchinson, that such has
not been the, practice. No transcript
of municipal court evidence has ever
been made in our court
Il don't give a continental what the
practice u.s." replied Mr.. Hutchinson.
What we want and intend to get is
the law. There is no reason why
practice should abrogate the statute"
