Story Is That He Parted From His
Wife and Came West.
Supposed to Have Settled in Mankat0
in the Early Days.
Old-Timers, However, Do Not Recall
Anyone Of That Name.
From Thursdays Daily.

After lapse of forty years the heirs
of George w. Chamberline are making
an endeavor to locate property that he
was supposed to nave been possessed of
at the time of his death. Chamberline is
thought by his three daughters to have
been resident of Mankato in the early
settlement of the town and that he had
some property here.
Three daughters of the deceased live
at Morris, N. Y, and they have recently
instituted search for the property that
is supposed to have been left by their
father, but the clew they have to work
upon is so slight that it is doubtful if
they succeed in their efforts. From the
story told by one of the heirs Chamber
line had trouble with his wife, and hav
ing an insane idea that she would get
some of the property after his death he
sold out all of his real estate, convert
ing it into money, and then to the west
he came. Chamberline is said to have
located in Mankato during the early six
ties. He died in 1854, but whether his
death occurred in this city is not clear
to the heirs. The latter assert, however,
that at the time of his death he was
possessed of some real estate and that he
also had quite a some of money. The
heirs are at loss to know what has
become of the cash. They have made
a diligent search for the money, but
thus far, nothing has been accomplished.
Chamberline is said to have been
lawyer by profession, but it is doubt
full if he was long resident of Man
kato, as none of the old time lawyers of
the city can recall any member of the
bar of that name. Among the older in
habitants of the city no one could be
found by Free Press man who could
remember any one of that name who re-
sided here in the early days. Should any
person be in possession of information
concerning George w. Chamberline his
address will be appreciated by The Free
Press.

DUG FOR GATHERING GELT.
How John LoeffImacher Fooled the
Two Detectives.
From Thursdays Daily.

A "clue" which Detectives Coleman
and Whitney followed and which they
fondly imagined was to lead them to
a pot of gold, furnishes one anus
ing incident in the Loeffelmacher case.
The tale is sent out by John Loffel-
macher and he describes the search of
the sleuths for fabulous treasure which
he had informed them was buried near
his fathers barn.
According to Johns story he hand
ed out the tip to the detectives after
his escape from the Nicollet county
jail. On the night of the escape he says
that Coleman drove about st. Peter in
the carriage which was to take him to
liberty but that the sleuth was unable
to locate him (Loeffelmacherl, and sub
sequently he was recaptured. Then
Coleman called upon him in his cell and
he told the Minneapolis man of some
money that was buried near his fathers
barn.
Following this Coleman was absent
for a day or two but upon his return
he told the prisoner that he and Whit
ney had dug for the treasure but could
not find it. Loffelmacher informed Cole
man that they had not searched in the
right place and wanted them to make
another trial but the detective suspected
hoax and instead of falling in with
Johns idea submitted the proposition to
help him escape for $3.50.
Then, John, alleges, Coleman asked
him if he had any money and he gave
the detective the last $40 he possessed,
with the understanding that he was to
receive $500 more when the prisoner was
safely out of the country. The letter to
August Loffelmacher was written later
but it was not productive of results.
Regarding the probable outcome of
the affair, it is not known whether or
not the detectives viii be prosecuted
The attorneys for the defense will look
into the evidence against Coleman and
Whitney carefully and if conviction
can possibly be obtained they will swear
to complaint. In that event County
Attorney A. A. Stone of st. Peter will
be asked to prosecute the case.-New

Elevator Line and Local Men Talk
Crops and Transportation.
From Thursdays Daily

A meeting of the elevator line and To-
cal grain buyers was held in the ladies'
ordinary of the Saulpaugh last evening,
some twenty five being present. The
gathering included the grain buyers of
towns along the four railroads in south
western Minnesota.
j. j. Quinn of Minneapolis, the new
secretary of the Southern Minnesota and
South Dakota Grain Dealers associa-
ton, was present to form the acquain-
tence of the grain buyers.
Crop and transportation questions
were talked over, but no action was TAX
en-, nor was adjournment taken to any
definite time. 1t was the general
opinion that the crops in this section
are pretty poor. There are no difficult
ties of transportation.

TALKED LIGHTING.
Business Mems Association Assured
of New Gas Plant.

The Mankato Business Mems associa-
tion met last night, and the lighting
question was once more a subject for
discussion.
1t was stated that j. A. Bower or M.
E. Springer had sent word to the asso-
citation that the Practical Gas Construc-
ton company will file certified check
for $4,000 with the council tomorrow
night, to guarantee the erection of the
gas plant. 1t was stated that the plant
would surely be built, and that the as
ISOLATION concluded to stand by the pro-
ject as long as there was any prospect
of it's being carried out.
The members who spoke thought that
if certified check for $1,000 is filed
with the recorder, the indemnity bond
need not be required until work is ac-
tually about to begin.
Nothing else of Importance was con-
sidered.
