Glencoe, Robbed of Coin.
From Mondays Daily.

rIOm MOuuayS D D6uy.
The Bank of Plato, a small village six
miles east of Glencoe, was .brglarized
Friday night, the robbers getting away
with $1,000. The burglars broke hole
through the brick vault with crowbars
and blew open the safe with nitro-gly-
cerine. The safe and vault are COM
plete wreck, and quite number of valu-
able papers that were in the safe were
destroyed.
The burglary is thought to be the
work of the same gang that has been
operating of late in this vicinity. They
employed the same tactics in getting
away from the scene of the robbery that
were used in Notwithstanding hand
car, which was found this morning few
miles this side of Norwood, where it had
been ditched
The robbery was not discovered un-
til Saturday morning. There is no night
Waterman in Plato and none of the resi-

KEEP THE MAIN ROAD"
Advice Given BY One South Bend Man
to Another.
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
The Free Press is in receipt of the fol-
lowing communication which is self-ex-
planatory. 1t also gives some wholesome
advice to those who would fail to keep in
the middle of the road:
Il wish to say there is little cor
rection to make in regard to the Gray
and Allison quarrel which took place
Sunday evening, Oct. Is. 1t appears that
only one side of the story was told.
George Gray was spending the evening at
neighbor's house in South Bend. On
his departure he saw James Allison on
his way home from town, and instead of
Allison following the road towards home
like "a man" would, he left the road and
followed the garden fence until he came
opposite the window of the house, where
Gray was calling. His intentions were to
see what was going on inside. As Gray
saw him approaching he made for him,
and a quarrel then resulted. We ad-
wise Allison to keep the main road after
this"

YOUNG LADY INJURED.
Runaway Accident Results in a
Broken Leg.
From Mondays Daily


Miss Mabel Glenn, who is a clerk in
M. Burg's drygoods store, was severely
injured while out riding yesterday after
noon. When at the top of the hill be-
yond Kasota the pin that held the thills
fell out and one side came down, fright
ening the horse, which turned sharply,
upsetting the buggy. The occupants were
both thrown out, and the horse ran away,
tearing down the hill and through barb
ed wire fence, where it left the buggy
a wreck. The horse was subsequently
found badly cut up and was left at a
farmers.
In some manner, the bone of Miss
Glenn's right limb was fractured a lit
tie above the ankle. She was taken
to Kasota, and brought to Mankato on
the 500 p. m. train over the Chicago
& North Western road. She was then
taken to her boarding place, Mrs. Nettie
Shafer's, 30l Poplar street. She will be
confined to the house for several weeks.
The other occupant of the buggy was
uninjured.

INCREASE The CAPITAL.
Napoleon Bank Will Reopen Next
Week.

From tuesdays Daily.
Judge Buck went to Mapleton this
afternoon, having received word that the
examination of the books of the Maple
ton State bank has been completed and
that the shortage of his son is substan-
TALLY as reported. He was informed that
there was to be meeting at four o'clock
this afternoon, at which his presence
was desired.
The Free Press is since informed that a
meeting of the directors has been call
ed for Thursday night, and that the ex-
animation of the books will not be COM
pleted before the end of the week.
1t will not be possible for the bank to
reopen before Nov. 1st. It is now pro-
posed to increase the capital stock from
$lO,799 to from $4,000 or $4,000. The
bank will undoubtedly continue in bust
ness, as most of the stockholders are
said to be desirous of this.
The bank will probably offer reward
for the arrest of A. A. Buck as soon as
the examiners report is received.

OPINION BY DOUGLAS.
Attorney General Says Legislature
Exceeded Its Authority.
From Tuesdays Daily.

from lueSOdy Oduy.
Attorney General w. B. Douglas yes
terday filed an opinion with State Aud
itor S. G. Iverson that the last legis-
lature exceeded it's authority in pro-
viding that horses afflicted with CLAN
ders shall be appraised by the state live
stock sanitary board without taking
into consideration the fact that the ami
mails are in diseased condition.
The live stock sanitary board has
killed many horses afflicted with CLAN
ders, and the state auditor has received
several claims for three -fourths of the
amount of the appraised value of the
animals, in accordance with chapter l4l
of the Laws of 1908. One of these
claims from John Walker of st. Paul,
asking for $50 for horse which was ap-
praised at $40, was presented to the at
torney general for an opinion.
Mr.. Douglas says in his opinion:
GIN my judgment the clause of chap
ter l4l to the effect that in determin-
ing such value (of horse afflicted with
glanders) the fact that such animal was
infected by tuberculosis OF glanders shall
not be taken into consideration is beyond
the power of the legislature to enact"
Mr.. Douglas holds, however, that the
state auditor may legally audit claims
properly verified in case where the ami
mails were appraised at their actual val
lie considering their diseased condition.
The question then arises, is horse af
flicted with glanders worth anything?
Some say such an animal is worth only
the value of the hide and carcass.
Others say that horse afflicted with
glanders in the first stage is worth the
value of the labor that can be performed
before he would die natural death or
become useless.

DEAD MANS NAME.
He Is identified as Charles Holt of
South Chicago.

From Mondays Daily.
The mystery surrounding the identity
of the dead man who was found last
week in Judson creek has been cleared up.
The mans name was Charles Holt, and
his home was loops Ewing avenue,
South Chicago. He was the man who
went to work for the Chicago & North
Western road a month ago between this
city and New Ulm, and who was the
first night locked in box car because he
had delirium tremens, and who wander
ed away the next day and was never
heard of afterwards. He was not con-
sidered to be quite right in his mind,
but this may have been due to his
excessive drinking.
The mans clothing was identified yes
terday by Ben Carlson, who works on
the farm of Mr.. Jones in Judson, and
who knew Holt. Carlson heard of the
drowning and came to the city yester-
day thinking to see the remains, but
they had been inferred. He said that
Holt has a wife and six children in Swed
en-. The deceased was a member of a
Swedish secret fraternity society and the
pin which he wore was an emblem of that
society.
1t has been learned that Holt gave his
watch to party to send to Charles
Bloombek, who lives at the same address
in Chicago that the deceased did. The
watch was worth about SIS. This leads
to the belief that Holt had planned sui
eide.
The spot selected by Holt to end his
life was very secluded one, down in a
deep ravine, enclosed by steep banks.
There was but thirty-f cents in his
pockets when found.

FIT FOR THE CRAZY HOUSE.
Pyrotechnic Career of Mrs. Carrie Con.
key Phillips Of Preston.

FROM lueSuay Dduy.
After squandering forged fortune,
threatening the life of her little daugh-
ter and then attempting suicide, Mrs.
Carrie Oonkey Phillips, wife of DR..
James H. Phillips of Preston was adjudg-
ed insane and will be sent to the asylum
at Rochester.
Practically every business man in the
village and many banks and men in other
parts of the state were victimized. Forg
ed notes and checks, still uncashed,
amounting to 100000, were found in her
trunk, but luckily the extent of the
actual losses, unless further investiga-
tion reveals more, is only $4,000.
On plea of being tired, she
excused herself to go to her
room and lie down. She i'm
mediately swallowed the contents of a
half ounce bottle of laudanum, and from
her raving when she was brought to con-
sciousness later it is believed she first
sought to find her younger child and put
her to death also. Doctors with stomach
pumps saved her.
Mrs. Phillips has been thought dement,
ed by many, but her mania had never
before caused trouble. 1t is supposed to
having arisen from the use of cocaine.
Mr.. Conkey, the proprietor of the gen.
eral store, is the heaviest loser. Most of
the notes bear reproduction of his sig
nature. Mrs. Phillips also realized over
her own name, although she had no prop
erty and her husband was not wealthy.
Of the $4,000 which she is said to have
spent, $1,000 was paid for worthless cop
per mining stocks and the remainder was
lost in speculation on the Chicago board
of trade or donated to the Presbyte terian
church.
Besides forging L. Myers Conkey's
name on several notes, Mrs. Phillips is
alleged to have signed the name of Mrs.
George Dexter, her aunt, and Miss Jennie
Conkey, her half sister.
One of the notes, on which she is said
to have forged L. Myers Conkey's name,
was discounted at the Preston bank,
conducted by H. R. Wells. On this note
she raised $500. When the note matur-
ed it was presented to Conkey for pay
ment. He knew it to be forgery, but
to protect his niece paid it, supposing
that no other forgeries had been COM
mitted. He has, however, refused to
make any further settlements.
DR.. Phillips has threatened to shoot
Wells on sight, but the origin of the
feud is not known. After Conkey took
up the $500 note, Attorney A. D. Gray
called upon Mrs. Phillips and demanded
a full confession. She admitted having
forged the names given above. Gray
thereupon required her to confess all to
L. Myers Conkey, which, after much per-
suasion, she did.
1t was after the exposure that she OBJ
tanned the laudanum from an unknown
source and attempted suicide.
DR.. Phillips is about fifty years old
and has served one term in the legisla-
ture. Mrs. Phillips is about forty years
old.

| William A. Patten of LIE Sueur, CASH
ier of the defunct Farmers and Merch-
ants bank, of that place, private ms
titution owned by himself and his father,
William H. Patten, was arrested Satur-
day afternoon on complaint of Herman
Citing, which alleged that William A.
Patten has forged the name of Citing to
a promisory note for $4,000
The father, William H. Patten, had
nothing whatever to do with the bank
business, which was conducted entirely
by William A, the son. 1t is now sup
posed that there is a large quantity of
unreliable paper afoat. Some time ago
William A. negotiated a $4,000 loan
from a st. Paul bank, and secured the
same by a little over $4,000 in notes,
ostensibly signed by persons living in
the neighborhood of LIE Sueur.
A representative of the st. Paul bank
was in LIE Sueur Saturday looking for
the persons whose names were attached
to the notes, and did not seem to be
able to find them. 1t is reported that
William A. had borrowed of Mankato
bank about $4,000 and secured the pay
ment by notes against parties said to
live around LIE Sueur. This would make
something over $4,000 worth of peculiar
paper afoat. Patten is said to have ad-
mitted that much of the paper is worth
less.
William A. Patten was born in LIE
Sueur about fifty years ago, and has liv-
ed there all his life Some twelve years
ago he was engaged in the mercantile
business there with his father and a
brother-in-law. The brother -in-law
brought out the Pattens, who retired
with property commonly valued at $780,
OOo. Shortly after this w. III. and W.
A. Patten went into the banking busi-
ness, and, whatever has become of the
property, there is now left nothing ex
cept about $4,000 in real estate and
the wrecked bank.
No legal steps have beentaken to close
up the bank. 1t is not known what the
liabilities nor the assets are. Part OF the
real estate consists of large store b,,ild-
ing in which William Fl. Patten has a
life interest only, and this he is now oc-
cupying as homestead and renting it
for about 500 a month.
The Mankato free press., 1903-10-30
From The St. Paul Dispatchl

Excitement over the Patten bank fail
ure at lie Sueur has not abated. When
taken before the justice of the peace at
LIE Sueur Saturday William A. Patten is
said to have remarked: every crime
has its penalty, and 1 am willing to suf
fer for mine" He then asked that his
out-of town relatives be notified of his
plight and expressed the wish that he
might be taken at once to Saltwater.
1t is not thought that William A. Pat
ten has put away any part of the bank
funds for the future use of himself or his
family, but that he has recklessly squan-
dered the money in the widest kind of
crazy get-rich-quick schemes, principal
ly, however, in gambling in stocks. He
has always been wild and visionary
man in money matters, chasing rainbows
and dreaming golden dreams of fabulous
wealth in fake gold mine and oil well
schemes. He claimed to have been offer
ed $4,000 for his interest in gold mine
and made his family believe that by this
time next year they would enjoy an
annual income of $4,000 from the mine
alone.
He invented (?) and patented So
called safety match box, almost exactly
like others that are on the market, and
said that he had been offered $4,000 for
the patent, but that he did not wish to
sell it for the reason that he was going
to give 100 men continual employment at
LIE Sueur in manufacturing the boxes.
At the time of the failure he was try
ing to change the bank into a national
bank.
1t develops now that the Pattens never
had much money in the bank. At the
time of starting they owed the First
State Bank of LIE Sueur So, 400, and bor-
rowed $4,000 more at a ST. Paul bank
on note endorsed by the proprietor of
the lie Sueur County bank, and this $4,-
900 note was renewed from time to time
for several years. Patten was man of
correct and economical personal habits,
kind and loving husband and father, a
prominent member of the Presbyterian
church, a teacher in the Sunday school
and an ardent prohibitionist. His i'm
mediate family consists of his wife, two
daughters who are attendants of the
high school there, and son who is law
student at the state university.
Among the many distressing instances
