LENDS $50 TOA STRANGER
Now Herman Mattheis Of Hancock,
Mimi, Knows More About
Bunco Men.

A well dressed stranger with a suave
smile succeeded in winning the confidence
of Herman Mattheis,- farmer. from near
Hancock, Mimi, this morning, and when
the two parted Matthias had dent $50 to
his new-found friend. Several officers
were detailed to find the swindler.
Matthias was on his way to Blue Earth
county to visit friends and was waiting
for a train at the union station. The
stranger approached him and asked
where he was going. On, being told that
Blue Earth City was the destination, the
stranger volunteered the information that
he was In the bicycle business at that
place and was also waiting for his train.
The two started up town, ostensibly to
get some baggage and stopped near the
postoffice. The stranger then wanted to
borrow $50 saying that he would pay it
back. Matthias drew out the money and
the stranger snatched it from his hands
and disappeared.
From the description the police are GER
tain that the swindler is the man who
has been operating near the union station
for several months but who has shrewdly
eluded the officers.

AID CAME TARDILY
A Sick Man, Found In Box Car, Re-
n owed After Seven

Hours.
:Kurclamar Mcclellan was found at
noon yesterday lying in a box car
near Kenwood, where he had been
Ill with measels for forty hours,
without food or attention. The city hos
pital was notified and physician visited
the man. He was not certain whether the
man had measles or smallpox and ordered
him taken to the city hospital. The
patrol wagon was summoned, but the Off
GERS refused to handle the case and r1oti-
fed Superintendent Conroy. He ordered
the wagon to return to the station and
sent word to the city hospital authorities.
The health department ambulance was
called for. but it could not be reached and
then the city hospital ambulance was sent
out, reaching the man about o'clock.
There was undoubtedly too long a de-
lay in removing the man to the hospital, .
said DR.. Nelson this morning, and yet
no personal blame can be laid upon the
attendants at the hospital "a physician
sent to investigate found the man suf-
fering from a contagious disease. We
have but one ambulance and do not like
to use it for removing contagious cases
We tried to get the health department
ambulance but could not do so. It was q
mistake to send for the police patrol fol
they have nothing to do with medica1
cases. When we found there was moth
Ing to be done but to send our own am
bulance. It was fully seven hours after
the man had been found. . e

he FAILED TOO GET LOOSE
Martin Lewis, After Term in Work
house, Is Arrested BY Chi.
cago Officer.

When Martin Lewis, who was sentenced
to the Minneapolis workhouse for thirty
days on charge Of vagrancy, completed
his term this morning he was disappointed
in not securing his freedom. He found an
officer from Chicago awaiting him to con-
duct him, back to that city to stand trial
on a charge Of grand larceny, from which
he had escaped by jumping his bail bond.
Lewis Is q well-known crook and at the
present time is wanted at Jackson, Miss,
for Jail breaking. He was locked up there
on charge of grand larceny but sawed
his way thru the bars of his cell window
and disappeared. He was later arrested
in Chicago on similar charge and was
held under bail. Just before the trial
came UP, he jumped his bail and nothing
more was heard Of him until he was ar
rested in this city, on charge OF va
grancy. He pleaded guilty to keep his ar
rest from becoming public but the Chicago
authorities learned that he was in limbo
in this city and sen officers here to In
vestigate,
A peculiar circumstance connected with
Lewis return. to Chicago is that the Off
GER who takes him back is the man who
signed his bail bond The officer knew
Lewis and when he was arrested, signed
the bond. Lewis skipped and the bond
was forfeited. The man was afterwards
appointed to the police force and when
Lewis was found in this city he was de-
tailed to take him back to Chicago.

PAVILION IS TOO SMALL

The new pavilion at Minnehaha park
was opened to the public yesterday and it
had dedication that no one connected

repeated There probably has never been

The new pavilion, Economically situated
on a point. jutting out, into the glen about

nice little pavilion but wholly inadequate.
One four times as large would prob
ably not suffice for occasions such as yes

The principal improvement at the park
this year consists Of the removal of the

Of the park. The board ha condemned !

The quarrymen's strike is seriously al

odd statement means that where excava-
ton has been made for building: actual
construction cannot. begin. because the
stone supply has been exhausted and
while the auarrymen are off no more will

THEY WOULD MARCH
Majority Of Civil War Veterans
scorn Carriages for Me-
mortal Day.
They Appreciate the Spirit Of the
Suggestion, but Prefer
Marching.

AS the number Of Grand Army vete-
rams who are in feeble health increases
with their advancing years, the sugges-
ton has been made more than once that
the old soldiers be provided with car
riages, and not be required to march in
the Memorial day parades each year. It
Is pointed out that instances of Grand
Army men who have succumbed to ex-
haustion after the long march in the hot
sun, are not uncommon, and by some it
is not considered safe for many of the
veterans to march In the parades
1t has also been suggested that instead
of taking part in the parades. either on
foot or In carriages, the various Grand
Army posts be provided, with reviewing
stands where the members may review
the military and civic societies as the
latter pass by. Officers Of the Grand
Army. however, do not speak with en-
thusiasm Of the proposed change s. H.
fowler Of this city, judge advocate of the
Minnesota department, G. A. R., said to-
day:
about fifteen carriages will be pro-
v1ded for the parade this year, and this
number. it is believed, will be sufficient
to accommodate all the. veterans who, by
reason of advanced age or physical in
trinity, are unable to march. The great
majority of the Grand Army men could
not be hired to ride. I know Of men In
the local posts over 70 years old who have
taken part in the parades right along
A large number Of the local veterans are
men in the early sixties, and G. A. r.

ciate the spirit which prompts the sug-
gestion that we be provided with ear

BEGIN WORK 0NNEW FIELD
Grading Of Athletic Ground at the
State University Was Begun
This Morning.

E, A large force of men began work on the
new athletic field at The university this
morning and in a:few days the surface of
the old field will be entirely removed
The work of grading the field to.a level
with Eighteenth avenue will take, about
a month and after that the entire area
will be sodded. The board Of control has
been guaranteed thesneeessary funds with
which to construct Che brick wall and the
steel frame grand stand.,s The total seat
Ing capacity 81 the and stand will be
nearly 10000 In addition to this the old
will remain as they are. making the seat
ing capacity OF the entire ampitheater
about II, 900.
When completed Northrop field will be
by far the best athletic ground Of it's kind
in the west. Every department Of atl-
letics will have its own training grounds,
so that all the teams can practice with
in the enclosure at the same times1f they
desire. A. site has also been selected on
all the departments.
|: Aenumber Of persons have suggested
that the university management rent the
new park to the Minneapolis baseball club
during the summer season Of each year.
This arrangement, they claim, would be
beneficial to both the university and the
ball club Northrop field is more con-
veniently located with respect to the
business part Of the city than Nicollet
park, and would save the baseball en-
thusiasts much valuable time in going
and coming from the games.
Considerable st. Paul patronage could
also be counted on, The university field
is equipped with excellent training quar-
tiers and the visiting teams would not be
compelle- dto don their uniforms at the
hotel.
If this arrangement were made the
| university would take in each year sew
eral hundred dollars which would help pay
| the running expenses Of the field.
