CHICKEN THIEVES.
They Operate Extensively in South
Part of this County.

We learn from III. A. Comstock that
an organized band of chicken thieves is
operating in parts of Blue Earth county.
The operations have gone to such an eX
tent that the farmers will band together
for protection. The thieves of course
operate in the night but so far they have
been successful in eluding their pursuers.
A party south of the Cobb river who re-
Gently turned off several broods from in
cubators and who was about ready to
put them on the market awoke one morn
ing to find every chicken gone. Another
party awoke just in time one night to
hear the noise of buggy as it was dis
appearing in the darkness. All his chick
ems were gone. Another party at another
time fired gun at the intruders but
without results. Still another man has
gun loaded for an emergency. A theory
is advanced that the gang are working in
the interest of some dealer and that the
chickens are spirited away to some dis
tant town through relays of the gang.
Carried on Systematically the stealing
is undoubtedly very profitable bust
ness. There is no doubt but that if it
continues the farmers will become arous-
ed and go after the gang until they are
either frightened away or captured

WHOLESALERS Defeated.
They Are Unequal to Retailers AS
sisted by Picked Players.
From Thl1rsdav's Dailv

At the last moment yesterday after
noon the Mankato retailers substituted
members of the Mankato regular team
for some of their own players and won
the ball game at Sibley park from the
wholesalers by a score of nine to four.
The wholesalers played the game under
protest and made a good showing against
unequal odds. The picked nine" play
ed good game. The victory was large
ly due to the good pitching of Finnegan,
ga milk peddler," the splendid fielding
of Lawyer Walter Plymat, and the heavy
batting and excellent coaching of Geo.
Kennedy. The wholesalers would have
tied the score in the seventh, but for an
unfortunat decision of the umpire in
calling Keene out at the home plate on
a close decision. An effort will be made
to arrange game between the whole
salers and retailers in the near future.
The retailers claim that the wholesal-
ers also had the assistance of one or two
picked players.

By recent ruling of the postoffice de-
partment each rural mail carrier in the
United States will be required to take
a carefeul census of his route and copy
the names in book provided for the
purpose. Slips are prepared for the car
riers and these will be left with the
families to be filled out, each slip to con-
tain the names of all parties receiving
mail at the house, even to the servants.
In this manner the name of every per-
son along the routes will be before the
postmaster and he will have no trouble
forwarding mail. Married ladies will
be designated by their own names in
stead of those of their husband.

GREEN GOODS MEN.
They Are Plying Their Operations in
Minnesota Now.
Prom ThursdaY's Daily.

NAOA uiSudyS DdAy.
1t has been generally supposed that
New York was the home of the green
goods man, and that he never operated
elsewhere to any great extent, always
using the mails from the city near Long
Island when plying his trade.
But now Minneapolis has started as
rival to Gotham in the green goods bust
ness, according to the sleuths of the Unit
ed States postoffice department.
Joseph f.. and William A. Souse are
both charged by an indictment returned
by the federal grand jury with having
used the mails to sell what was held out
to be counterfeit money. Both were to
have been arraigned together but Joseph
is i'll and William responded to the call
alone, and waving the reading of the in
dictment, pleaded not guilty to the
charge. The trial will take place next
week.
Nor is this the only case in Minnesota.
The Gopher farmer is bright one, when
he has chance to be. Many have been
bitten by the New York green goods
man, but not all of them took it calmly.
One farmer not many thousands of miles
from Washington county came back a
sadder but wiser man, with his little
bag of sawdust, and he set right to work
to get even.
One of his early customers was a
United States postal sleuth, who made
arrangements to purchase a quantity of
the imitation money from the granger.
The honest farmer informed the would
be purchaser that he made bills just as
good as Uncle Sans. In fact, he had
secured some plates that couldn't be
detected at all. He would sell any
amount from 500 up, but favored the
sup"
The detective didn't take any just then
but will hold another interview before
the man is finally tried for the offense.

OPPOSE LONG TERM.
Business Mems Association Appoints
Lobbying Committee.

The Mankato Business Mems associa-
ton held a SHINY attended meeting last
night, and those present put in most of
the time in discussing the lighting ques-
ton. The general sentiment of those on
hand seemed to be against the council
making any long time contract for light
ing the streets, on account of the posi-
bility of obtaining street car line. They
were even opposed to a five year contract
with anyone.
S. H. Grannis, NJ O. Sundt and F. J.
Busch were appointed committee to
see the members of the council and try
to influence them against making con-
tract for lighting the streets, extending
over a period of years.
A request was received from the trades
and labor council. asking the merchants
to close their places of business on Labor
Day. The meeting voted to recommend
that the merchants close their stores
from noon on.

Body Passed Through the City Late
This Afternoon.
Deceased Was Former Pastor of St.
Johns Catholic Church.
He Was An Able Preacher and a
Kind Friend.
From Thursdays Daily.

-
The sad information was received in
the city this afternoon of the accidental
death, while hunting, of Rev. Father
John Prior, now of Wykoff, but for four
teen years pastor of st. Johns Catholic
church in this city The terrible occur
renee happened nearWindom, where he had
gone to enjoy chicken hunt, of which
he was very fond.
The remains were taken through the
city on the 4:45 p. m. train today on the
way to Wykoff, where the funeral will
take place. No particulars of the acct
dent are known in this city.
Father Prior was the predecessor of
Father Hughes in st. Johns church, and
was loved and respected by all who
knew him, and his sudden and tragic
end is a severe blow to all who knew
him, and particularly to those who were
members of his flock in this city
Father Prior left Mankato about four
years ago, and had resided at Wykoff ever
since He was very fond of out of door
sports, such as hunting and fishing, and
frequently INDUCED in them while
resident of this city. He was a careful
man with gun, and it is hard to believe
that the accident was due to any fault
of his own.
The deceased was about fifty years of
age, and was an effective speaker, and a
man of sound Judgment and good reason
ing powers. His influence for good was
not confined to his church, but he en-
joyed wide acquaintance. The church
in this city prospered while he was its
spiritual leader, and his many friends re-
GREETED his departure. His death will
cause deep sorrow.
a later report states that the accident
occurred near Ivanhoe. Rev. Prior was
with two friends. They went in one di-
rection and he in another Later they
found his dead body. He was shot
through the neck
