SUTTON PLEADS GUILTY.
Will Be Used As States Witness in
Murder Case at 0Watonna.


The case of the State VS.. Charles and
Henry Nelson, indicted for murder in the
first degree, for the killing of Harry H.
Krier, was taken up yesterday morning,
at Owatonna, special venire in addition
to the regular panel having been sum-
moned. Contrary to. expectations, the
jury was completed last evening and is
conceded to be an exceptionally good
one. The names are w. S. Weather
stone, ]. F. Brady, William Pennington,
Peter Johnson, C. G. Bonnell, F. d. Carl
ton, George E. Sloan, William Thompson,
Henry Sorrensen, Horace A. Finch, j. M.
Brooks and A. o. Newhall. The fact that
the defense accepted several who ad-
mitted having had opinions indicates a
confidence in their case not understood
by the public.
During the evening Olmstead, called
Sutton, the third of, the trio indicted,
was brought into court and the state ac-
cepted plea of guilty of murder in the
second degree. He will be used as the
star witness.

WILL NOT BORROW.
Mayor Taylor Will Refuse to Increase
Floating Indebtedness.

From tuesdays Daily.
Mayor Taylor has taken the safe and
conservative ground that he will re-
fuse to sign any notes that will increase
the city's floating Indebtedness. He states
that he will have no legal right to do it,
and will not take any chances of get
ting involved. He has notified some of
the aldermen that when the money in
the treasury has been used up the city
will be fiat on its back, as no money
will be borrowed. This is the same
stand that F. NJ. Currier took when
mayor, and it was approved by the peo-
ple At that time the treasury did not
have within $4,000 of as much money
in it as it did when the present council
took hold, and it was harder to get
along with the small treasury balance.
The present council has shown a dis
position to let the bars down, and it will
need the strong hand of the mayor to
prevent the city being put back to where
it was several years ago, financially.

PRINCE WAS IN DISGUISE
Rudolph Was Formerly An EmpIoye Of
St. Peter Hospital.
Discharged From Iowa University, He
Travelled Under Assumed Named.
From Tuesdays Daily

From Tuesdays Daily
A special from the Sunday Pioneer
Press from Milwaukee reveals the identi-
ty of DR.. Hoffman, who was recently
discharged from the University of Iowa,
because of having refused to disclose his
identity, after admitting that he was
going under an assumed name. The facts
established in the matter are to the
effect that Prince Rudolph of Austria
committed murder about fifteen years
ago while in a drunken revel. 1t was
then reported that the Prince had also
killed himself, but later developments
lead to the belief that at the supposed
funeral services of the prince a corpse
was substituted and that Rudolph fled
to America The Austrian government
of late has been making a secret search
for Prince Rudolph and has found him
in the person of DIR. Hoffman. 1t is
expected that the Austrian government
will take steps to free him from the muir
der charge and that he will be reinstated
in his fathers favor.
Dr. Hoffban was employed at the st.
Peter hospital in lS96-St. Peter Jour

From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
The Pipestone Daily Star tells of
woman who stepped up to the ticket
window of the Milwaukee depot at that
place and asked for ticket to Albert
Lea. When it was handed out to her
by Agent Crawley she stated that her
purse had been left in the bus. just
then the train pulled out and the woman
boarded it. Agent Crawley telegraphed
to Conductor Wright to collect for the
ticket. The woman protested that she
had paid for it. Agent Crawley was no.
titled and he wired the officers at Sher-
burn who took the woman into custody.
She broke down and put up the amount
of the ticket. She was at Elkton, S. d.,
where she is said to have endeavored to
defraud a landlord of hotel.

MADE CONCESSIONS.
Basis on Which SmalIpoxu Bill Was
Settled.

From Tuesdays Daily.
The basis upon which the suit of the
city against the county, to collect
smallpox bill, was settled was that of
mutual concessions. The city agreed to
drop the item for Health Inspector Nc
Collum and also the $3.50 item for fumi-
CATION The city also agreed to pay the
expense of printing the ballots used in
the spring election, and which were fur
nished by the county auditor. There was
some question as to who should pay this
bill, as the law is not definite. The coun-
tv paws all of the other items in the
smallpox bill, amounting to about $500.

STORY OF THE MURDER
William Sutton Reiteraies the Tale
He Told When Arrested.
The Trial Of the Alleged SIayers of
Krier Is Under Way.
From Wednesdays Daily.

William A. Sutton took the witness
stand at Owatonna yesterday and re-
lated the circumstances surrounding the
killing of Harry H. Krier His story
did not differ materially from that told
by him when the arrest of himself and
the Nelson boys was made.
Among those who were put upon the
witness stand was Engineer Loppe, of
Mason City, Ia, who is employed as an
engineer on the Iowa and Minnesota di-
vision of the Milwaukee road He said
that he passed through Owatonna on the
afternoon of the murder he saw the
body of man lying in a ditch near the
railroad tracks, and also the moving
figures of two men passing over mill.
He waived to the men and point to the
body lying in the ditch.
Another witness wa ana Flingog,
one of the girls who kept company with
Charles Nelson. Witness is but fifteen
years of age. In her testimony she told
of Charles taking the charm off of
Krier's watch chain and of his placing
the revolver near the feet of KrIer, so
that it might appear that the murder
was case of suicide. She made the
statement that Charles said to her ia
explaining the deed: "Harry held him
(Krier) and l shot him."
On cross examination by the attorney
for the defense, witness was entirely
lost and contradicted several statements
many times.
Christina Jasperson, a close companion
of Henry Nelson, told of meeting SUIT
ton and Nelson about two O'Clock on the
afternoon of the murder. She said that
Henry told her then that Krier had
money and that they 1.-THE boys) in
tended relieving him of it. Again she
met the boys about half past five o'clock
and that Henry said to her that he had
done something for which he was sorry
and that he was going to leave town. He
asked her to go to Faribault, but she re-
fused. She related the trip up the rail
road tracks in company with the two
Nelson's and Anna Flingog to the scene
of the crime, where they saw the body
of Krier. She corroborated the testi-
mony of the Flingog girl.

AN ISLAND RAISED SIX INCHES

result of some recent earthquake
shocks, the island of Guam has been

giving Guam a boost. Nothingbu an

What is the root of this love? Piety
There is no real benevolence without

Adhem is an impossible character, since
man who does not love the Lord can
not love unselfshly the creatures who

the times point to this transformation.
Let it come though with tumult and by

After the prayer by Rev. Miller the
quartet responded with another excellent
selection, the benediotion pronounced and
the services were closed.
At the annual services held at the
Methodist church last evening for the
Knights of Maccabees the attendance
was good and the services very pretty
and impressive.
In the first part of his address Rev.
Cowgirl related the history of the Mac

very appropriate well chosen and ele-
gantly rendered.

CHANGED THEIR PLEAS
Saloonmen Conclude Not to Fight the
Cases Against Them.
All Will Be Given Sentence at Two
O'clock Tomorrow.
From Monda US Daily.

from Mondays Dally.
District court calendar went to pieces
today. Seven saloonmen changed their
pleas from not guilty to guilty, and
several cases that were to have been
tried before a jury were reported settled.
The fact that the jury found Oscar Oh
son guilty of violating the Sunday law
no doubt had the effect of causing the
balance who had not pleaded guilty be-
fore to do so today. 1t is quite probable
that the remaining saloonman who has
not changed his plea will do so, although
his attorneys would not state today
what his course would be. The party

sentenced at two o'clock tomorrow.

of distributing the interest from the
state institutions fund among the insti-
buttons instead of letting it accumulate
from year to year. This question and
one as to whether the Moorhead and the
