SHERIFF SMITH HERE.
No New Development in Kasota Bank
Robbery.

From Fridays Daily.
Sheriff Smith of LeSueur arrived in the
city this forenoon, on business connect
ed with the bank robbery at Kasota
night before last. There have been no
new developments in the case since yes
terday.
Chief Bowen spent last night at Ka-
sofa, where he put some work in on the
case. He states that only one slight
clue has been discovered so far.
Late in the afternoon before the rob-
berry man drove up to Martin Wiltgen's
livery barn and put his team up. He
said that he was from st. Peter. About
1880 p. m. he got his team and drove
away. He was of medium height and
light complexion. There are suspicious
that he may have had some connection
with the robbery.
Another report is that the robbers es-
capped from Kasota on a hand car, one of
the handcars having been missed.

ENGINE COME TOGETHER.
Bad Smash up in Yards at Sleepy
Eye Last Night.
From Fridays Daily.

rIoln fIluay daily
A freight train heavily laden from Wa
SEGA crashed into switch engine in the
North Western yards in Sleepy Eye at
ten o'clock last night.
August Schaumkessel, fireman on the
freight engine, was caught in the debris
and scalded so badly that he will probab-
ly die and sustained internal injuries.
His home is in Waseea. No one else
was injured. IS
Owing to the flow of hot water from
the boilers and the heavy part of the
engine under which he was pinned, it was
about fifteen minutes before Schaumkes-
sci could be removed from the wreck.
1t is alleged that the fault was with
the freight crew as it is said that the
train pulled into Sleepy Eye faster than
it should and did not give the switch
engine time to get out of the way
The work of clearing the track was
begun at once but traffic was blocked
until this morning.

A meeting of contractors and builders.
material men, decorators and manufac-
turers dealing in any material in the
building line, was held last night. A
Builders Exchange was organized, and
officers were elected The exchange will
at once proceed to rent and furnish such
rooms for its use as may be necessary.
A committee was appointed to wait on
those interested who have not already
sent in their names. This is an organi-
zation of the same character as those
which have been maintained in st. Paul,
Minneapolis and Duluth for some years
past, and will, no doubt, be connected
with the state organization of builders
1t will without doubt result in bringing
a great deal of work to Mankato that
would otherwise go to some city having
an exchange.
The rooms to be furnished will contain
plans, figures on material, etc., so that
man can get all the information he
wants to about building that he may
think of constructing

In 1900 the games were again held, at

comfortable to the spirit of the present
age" It's membership consists of TWEEN
