EXCITING DRIVE.
Two Young Men From Belgrade Have
a Memorable Sunday.
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
What might have been a serious acct
dent occurred on the hill up the bluff in
North Mankato yesterday afternoon. Roy
Burrell and Victor Eklund were driving
from this city to their homes in Bel
"ade, between two and three o'clock, and
wee half way up the hill when dog
suddenly emerged from the underbrush.
The young men were driving a three
year old colt, and the animal SHE'D out
for the dog and went over the steep en-
bankment, dragging the buggy with it..
The buggy caught on some trees about
fifteen feet down and the horse tore
loose and went to the bottom, which is
nearly hundred feet. The buggy was
badly smashed, and Eklund was stunned
for few moments, but otherwise neither
of the young men were much hurt. The
horse was uninjured and was taken out
by the lower road.
The young men procured another
buggy from Martin Wiltgen and started
for home. When a mile from home, an
other dog came out onto the road,
again frightening the horse, which
kicked the dash board off and broke loose
from the buggy and ran home.

zle-dazzled Col. Savage's Dan Patch as

tives of the Minneapolis millionaire Mr.
Savage was in the east, but he sent
three representatives to the MEETING.
They expected to have the board under
control in jiffy. But the board had
been looking things up and turned a lit
tie surprise. Mr.. Christensen and ri. P.
Roberts of Minneapolis spoke on behalf
of Mr.. Savage.
They started off by saying that the
board was in error as to Dan Patch be-
ing returned at $2l6. He was assessed
at 5000. This was clincher they be.
lieved. But Mr.. Greiner came right
back.
ooh, well then if Dan Patch was put in
at $4,000 and the total assessment was
$l2,5O0 that leaves $500 to cover the
other forty-seven horses; or an average
of about $75.
Now is it not true that Mr., Savage
has on his farm Directum, for which he
paid $4,000 at auction, and Roy Wilkes

hall, Fourth and st. Peter streets. yes

Governor Van SAINT welcomed the dele

zenshlp, and that all organizations like
the Knights of Pythias should be encour-
aged. Corporation Attorney J. c. Mich
ael made brief address, extending the
freedom of the city to the delegates The
principal address was made by Judge E.
A. Jaggard.
The annual reports of the grand chan
cellor, grand keeper of records and seal,
grand master of the exchequer and grand
trustees were submitted and referred to
the several committees.
Mrs. Belle Quinlan, supreme chief of
the Rathbone Sisters, paid visit to the
convention in the afternoon, and made
speech, urging the grand lodge to re-
ceive the Rathbone Sisters as an auxil-
larry society to the Knights of Pythias.
The rest of the afternoon was taken up

suing year. Those elected were:

pose that the regular convention of the
grand lodge shall convene annually on
the fourth Tuesday of March, and that
each subordinate lodge shall provide for

law OF otherwise, for the payment of
stated weekly benefits to it's members.
and that all such bylaws providing for
such benefits be declared invalid. Subor-
dinate lodges may, in case of sickness
and distress, donate funds for the relief
of members and may even make assess
ments for the purpose.

WAS RAISED AS A GIRL.
Boy Named Eya.--Parenis ignorant Of
His Sex.
From Wednesdays Daily.

Mark Twain has writte,. some remark
able stories of the errors of birth and
the consequences that followed, but in all
of them there is no stranger yarn than
that told by Mrs R. ID. Marshall of
Kenosha, Wis. She has q son, Earl
Marshall, who is about to attain his ma
jority.
Three weeks ago Earl Marshall sud
denly gained notoriety by shooting at
his sister, Nellie, and her husband, j. w.
Roberts. The ceremony has scarcely been
concluded when Young Marshall dashed
into the room and began shooting. Be
fore he could be stopped he fired two
shots, but they went wild Of the mark
and no one was injured.
The strange revelations .aade by the
mother of the boy shUTfz that tie shots
were fired on account of jealousy, and
furthermore. the denoument of the
strange story shows that Marshall has
had a peculiar double career.
For eight years Marshall lived and
was reared as a girl, and the strangest
part of the whole affair is found in the
assertion that even his mother was not
aware he was boy.
Marshall was born in 1883 and for
twenty years his mother has studiously
guarded from the public the history of
his early life. At the time of his birth
it was announced that a female child
had been born and for the first eight
years of his life Marshall lived as a
girl. His mother never discovered the
error of the doctor until after the boy
was more than eight years of age, when
he was sent to a hospital for treat
ment for nervous disease. The doc
tors on examining the child, found that
he was a male, and notified the parents
of their discovery.
From childhood Marshall had borne the
name of Eva Marshall, and at the time
of the discovery that he was boy he
declined to accept the decision of the
doctors, and for the next seven years he
continued masquerading as girl. When
the family removed to Kenosha, Mar
shall was forced to lay aside his petit
coats and he donned mans attire.
Among his few men friends was j. W
Roberts who was recently married to
his sister, Nellie Marshall. Marshall was
heart broken when the approaching mar
rage of his sister to Roberts was an
nounced.
Since the time of the shooting Mar,
shall has been making an effort to cleal
himself of the guilt, and in order to &c
this he wrote to the papers of his for
mer town in Iowa and declared that the
shots had been fired by Miss Eva Rob
erts, and asked that the papers there
make an effort to lotcate Miss Eva
Marshall and notify her parents
Through the investigation started by
this letter the strange history of his
birth and the error of his parents was
made public.

Cole Younger Is Under Arrest Charg-
ed With Embezzlement.
EX-bandit Had Sued the Show Man.
agement For $4,000.
He and lanes Could Not Stand For
the Crafters.
Will Cause Bust Up of the Wild West
Aggregation.
From Tuesdays Daily.

Nevada, Mo-, Sept. 22-The James
Younger Wild West show is apparently
upon the eve of dissolution. The man
agement has secured the arrest of Cole
Younger, his nephew, H. Y. Hall, and F
G. Lindenfelder, charging them with
the embezzlement of $6000
This action followed suits filed against
the show by Younger for $4,000 and
James for s4,SOO The plaintiffs say that
they were damaged in these sums by the
failure of the real owners to equip the
show according to contract and by the
refusal to drive away the grafters. Both
James and Younger say that there is alb
sOlutely nothing in the embezzlement
charge and speak of it as purely re-
taliatory policy. They have given out
the following statement for publication:
"We have severed all connection with
the James Younger Wild West show.
The management was duly notified to
choose between grafters and us. They
refused to eliminate the grafters, hence
we refuse our names to be used with a
thieving outfit.
frank James
-"Cole Younger"
Said Frank James today: For TWEEN
ty-five years we have lived exemplary
lives and never shall associate ourselves
with thieves or grafters. We have
fought this thing from the start and
begged them to run a clean show. We
have put up stiff fight for our honor,
and no two men God Almighty ever
breathed the breath of life into have
been under so severe a strain trying to
be right with all mankind. We are will
ing to die in righteous cause, but no
man shall rob or graft if we can pre-
vent it.
Chief of Police O'Connor of st. Paul gave
me careful instructions to fight every
possible suspicion of a graft, to run moth
ing but a clean show, and l am glad to
say l have followed his instructions
faithfully to the letter. Younger never
wanted to 90 with the show at all; his
desire was to place himself on the high
er plane of the lecture platform had not
the state of Minnesota forbid it. Our
only motive is honor and we will keep
fighting for it"
Gov. S. R. Van SAINT was seen by The
Minneapolis Times in regard to Young
er's arrest and was asked the effect up
on Younger's standing with the state
board of pardons. He had heard moth
ing of Younger's trouble and was not
prepared to speak from an official point
of view.
He said that his personal opinion is
that it will have no efftct upon Young
er's case in Minnesota. The only con-
ditions of the pardon were that Young
er was to refrain from exhibiting him
self in public and that he was never to
return to Minnesota. Arrests for crimes
in another state would have no effect
upon him here.
