Good Year For Fruit.

Jos. A. Eckstein, president of the
Evergreen State Fruit company,
brought back six varieties of winter
apples from Spokane, Wash, and
has them on exhibition in the State
bank window. He says that the pas4
year has been very satisfactory from
fruit raising point of view and on
the strength of the good crop his COM
pany has purchased more orchard
land, increasing the tract which they
own to 4l0 acres. Of these 300 acres
are in orchard and 200 acres bear fruit.
A year ago the company planted 5000
young trees, this year 1000 were put
in and next season they will arrange
to plant fully as large number.
They now produce twelve varieties
of winter apples, besides pears, plums,
prunes and cherries.

Women Have Narrow Escape.

Mrs. Fred Wellmann and daughter,
Minnie, of Lake Hanska township,
narrowly escaped serious injury in a
runaway accident yesterday afternoon.
In front of Crone Bros store one of
the horses caught its check rein on
the buggy pole, pulled the bride from
it's head and started to run. Mrs.
Wellmann was in the buggy seat and
her daughter had just jumped to the
ground, but as the team started the
girl seized one of the horses and hung
on pIuckily. She was dragged for
some distance and finally thrown to
the ground, one wheel passing over
her left foot, after which the team
went north on Minnesota street. AT
the Rudolphi corner they collided
with a telephone pole and Mrs. Well
mann was hurled from her seat. She,
however, escaped with a few slight
bruises on her right hand and left
knee.

Messrs. Henry Gherke, now Of Morgan

with Lars P. Jensen and G. Salkowske
both having died within the past two

only retires from active business life in
order to take rest. He will remain
in Sleepy Eye and devote himself to
settling up his affairs and at the same
time keep a close eye on his big farm
near Arlington S. D.
The two young men he has sold out
to are both we'll and favorably known
to our citizens and the farmers. Henry
Gherke was for years clerk in some of
the leading stores and for two years
associated with Mr.. Buelowpreviousto
selling out to Berkner Brothers. Gus
Schroeder has practical knowledge of
the mercantile business, having been
employed for the past eight years with

many friends wish them the greatest of
success. They will not assume control
of the store until January Sleepy

JOHN GETS SEVEN YEARS.
Loeffelmacher Sentenced to Long
Prison Term.
He Entered Plea Of Guilty to Two
Counts.
Father is Discharged on Motion OF
.. State.

Seven years at Saltwater is the
atonement which John Loeffelmacher
must make for the crimes which he
committed in the township of Ridgely,
Nicollet county. Yesterday at ST.
Peter he pleaded guilty to the charges
against him and was sentenced by
Judge Weber. August Loeffelmac-
her, the father, was not compelled to
stand trial.
A telephone message from st. Peter.
to the Review yesterday afternoon
gave the details of the closing chapter
in the Loefelmac her cases. It seems
that John Loeffelmacher, who was in
dicted on two counts, those of attempt
ing to dynamite the threshing engine
of Mans & Wenigar and of burning a
barn belonging to Frank Kienlan, was
allowed to enter a plea of guilty.
When he had made his admission he
was given four years for the dynamit-
ing affair and three for arson.
Following this procedure the case
against August Loefelmacher was dis
missed on motion of County Attorney
A. A. Stone of St. Peter, for the
reason that the authorities did not
possess sufficient evidence to warrant
them in making the prosecution. His
bondsmen were released and he was
given his freedom. i.
For two years the Loeffelmachers
have been under surveillance and
during that time they have been accused
| of several different crimes. The name
of the young man was first connected
with the cattle poisoning case in West
Newton and he was arrested for the
offense. Shortly afterward a barn
owned by Mr.. Kienlan burned to- the
ground and he was suspected. Obscene
letters which were received by many
| people in West Newton were next
attributed to him and when explosives
| were placed in the threshing engine it
was the belief that he and his father
were implicated. ~...,.-~..,. IL
John LOffelmacher's first arrest was
made by a United States marshal for
! making improper use of the mails but
before his trial he made sensational
| escape from custody. Subsequently
he was recaptured and sentenced to a
term of thirteen months by a federal
judge, serving his full time The
senior Loefelmacher was indicted at
the spring term of the Nicollet county
district court but his case was con-
tinued and he was released on bail.
He retained Attorney Albert Pfaender
of this city, and Attorney w. E.
Young of Mankato, to conduct his de-
Tense and it is largely to their efforts
| that he owes his release. 49,.

A lO-year-old son of John Ruby of
West Newton, was wounded in the
head last Friday by a bullet from a
22-calibre revolver. That afternoon
young Ruby and several companions
were shooting at a mark with small
rifle and the revolver. Ruby stood a
short distance from his playmates,
when the pistol was accidentally dis
charged and the ball entered the back
of his head. He was brought to New
U1m, and DR.. Weiser found the leaden
pellet lodged above his right ear and

long as your doctor does his level best,
you cannot blame him, if things go

PRISONER AGAIN ESCAPES
John Loeffelmacher Breaks From
Jail at St. Peter.
Ex- Convict Took Desperate Means
to Gain Freedom.
Knocked Jailer Down and Then
Locked Him In Cell.

John A. Loeffelmacher, ex-convict
and convicted felon, has added another
to his long list of offenses. For the
second time since he has been in
trouble he has gained his freedom
while in charge of an officer of the law
and his last escape was made in a
manner which would have done credit
to a desperate and hardened criminal.
Early last evening he oyerpoWered a
guard at the Nicollet county jail and
this morning he was still at large.
The delivery yesterday was of a
very ionalcharacter. After being
sentenced to term of seven years in
the penitentiary young Loeffelmacher
was taken back to his cell in the Jail
and it is supposed that he Immediately
began planning upon making his es-
cape. When the deputy sheriff brought
in his supper he suddenly leaped upon
the officer and struck him terrific
blow on the head.
Stunned and bewildered, the deputy
was unable to make any resistance
and Loefelmacher had no difficulty in
obtaining possession of his keys. He
then thrust the man into the cell he
had formerly occupied, closed and
locked the door and made off in the
darkness. By the time an alarm was
raised he had a very respectable star
| and the authorities could find no trace
| of him. -@
Sheriff Mcmillan telephoned to New
| Ulm last night and gave the partic
ulars of the affair. He asked Sheriff
Julius to meet the $40 passenger OF
the Northwestern but the local officia
was unable to learn anything of tn
fugitive. Although county official
and policemen in all parts of tn
country have been notified of his es
cape, it is believed that the St. Pete
men will have trouble recapturin.

The man who has to go down into his
trousers pocket for IS cents for bushel
of potatoes will read this from the
Princeton Union, published in the
potato belt of Minnesota, with big
gulps of sorrow:-Princeton potatoes
are way off this year both in quality
and quantity. It is the same story all
through the potato belt in this state.
The miserable cold wet weather played
havoc with all the crops. Theloss to the
farmers and business men of Princeton
and vicinity will aggregate scores of
thousands of dollars. There is no use
of repining. In all probability there
will not be another such unfavorable
season as that of 1908 in generation.

MUST THE CITY LIMITS BE
STATIONARY?

Are the limits of Raleigh to remain foI
all time circumscribed to the boundaries
made before the war? Is the city to grow
and expand and all the growth outside the
1857 limits to be denied the privilege OF
becoming a part of the city? Is the op
position of some excellent gentlemen to
outweigh the obvious reasons that have
caused nearly every other growing city to
extend the corporate limits?
1t is urged against present extension
that there was some favoritism shown IN
laying off the boundaries for the extern
sion. If there is any foundation for such
statements, that ought not to defeat ex-
tension The mistake. if mistake there is,
can be remedied by the next Legislature.
1t will only be dcferring the taking in OF
others less than one year, because the ter
ritory to be annexed will not pay city tax
until 1904.
Raleigh's limits should expand with Raj
eigh's growth. That is a sound PROPOSE
ton, and is proposition that has been
approved by nearly every progressive city
in the United States.

MUsrAJURoR BE AN IsEORAxUs'

There are men who now and then rail
at the jury system, but nobody has sug-
gested plan Of ascertaining the guilt or
innocence OF men charged with crime that
is to be compared with it. There are
abuses of the system-grave and serious,
in both the law and in its administration.
But the changes can be made in both
Whenever public sentiment demands needed
changes.
One of the practical questions now
about jury trials is this: Must juror be
an ignoramus? Upon this line the Wilson
Times says:
I'm these strenuous days when a news
paper is required to either publish all
the news or get out of the race. it Is
hard to see. if the precedent shall be es-
tablished that a man who reads newspa-
per accounts in advance of a case shall
be debarred from jury duty. 1t seems to
Us a man may read the newspapers and
yet be an impartial juror. If he cannot.
then the time is coming when only inlet
tered and unintclligent men can sit on
a jury"
Instead Of rejecting juror because he
has read the newspapers. it would be a
saner policy to reject those who have not
read the newspapers, if either extreme is
to be followed The truth is that il men
who read newspaper accounts of a crime
are to be rejected. it will be equivalent
to disqualifying most of the best jurors.
No intelligent man would permit his read
ing to control him in reaching a verdict.
and the courts are generally in the North
refusing to permit lawyers to ask the
question:: ibid you read the newspaper
accounts of this. crime?" 1t is clearly an
incompetent question. The question
''Have you made up your mind as to the
guilt or innocence of the prisoner in
cludes that question so far as it is per
tinent or as far as it ought to be admis-
sable
juries. for they can be tile. more easily
misIead by shrewd lawyers. No intelli-
gent jury would acquit some desperadoes
who have been turned loose upon North
Carolina. The refusal to permit men to
serve on juries because they have read
newspaper accounts of crime is a per-
version of the spirit of trial by jury. 1t
results. if carried out, in getting jury
of ignoramuses, often the vassals OF tricky
lawyers and thus destroys justice instead
of securing it. Lawyers OF character, az
well as other good citizens, recognize the
need OF intelligent jurors, and should aid in
putting an end to the antiquated and abb
who reads the daily papers.
