Driving Matinee Proves Successful.
Good Time Made.
From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
If the enthusiasm displayed at yester-
day afternoons driving matinee is any
criterion or forecast of the future it can
safely be stated that the summer mat
, inees of the Mankato Driving club
will be a great success. There was a
good crowd and good racing with the
time down to lis to the half The first
race was between Gates Phillips Teton
ka and j. Graham's Buster. Considering
the fact that this was the first time Te-
tonka has been on the track this ycai
and that the time was lis and lilo to
the half in the first and second heats and
the Buster at any time is hard horse
to beat it is next to phenomenal per-
Torrance as he was head and head with
Buster in each heat.
The second race was between Rowdy,
driven by r. M. Dodds, Golden Rod, E.
IL. Whipple's horse and George Atchison's
horse, Mike. Unfortunately Mr. Atchi-
sons horse while showing great bursts of
speed was very unsteady, especially in
the last heat. He however, closed good
gap in the first heat and looked like a
winner, but Rowdy, always reliable and
very speedy, got the heat with Golden
Rod second and Mike third. The same
summaries will apply to the second heat
and race Time: l.25.
M. L. Fallenstein's mare Daisy, and j.
D. Humiston's Bob went two nice heats,
Mr.. Humiston's horse, Bob, winning
both. Time: LIS, l:29.
The next race was between Mrs. 7. H.
Foley's Raytonion, Phil McGraws mare
and Sassy Billy owned by Mr.. Bur-
nett of Sounth Bend. Mrs. Foley and Mr..
McGraw drove in roundabouts and Mr..
Burnett a cart. Mr.. Burnett won the
first heat and Mrs. Foley the next.
Mr.. Phillips went nice exhibition
one-half mile with O. X. and Mr.. Spor-
nitz also did very nice turn around
the track, both horses working very
smoothly.
The next matinee will be Thursday
afternoon of next week and there will
be matinees every Thursday thereafter
during the summer

COLE Y0uNGER's STORY.
How He Tarried at st. Peter Break
ing Horses--The Bank Raid.
From Mondav'S Dailv
From Mondays Dahl

Cole Younger is ''meat" for the news
paper men of Chicago and they are MAX
| ing most of the opportunity to get a
"story" out of the once bandit. A few
days ago The Inter Ocean contained
several columns of an interview. Among
other things Younger told of the North
field raid and of his visit to st. Peter,
1t is as follows:
"Now about that Mortified raid. |
guess everybody knows about all there is
| to tell. In August, 1876, we started our
preparations for the raid. We had been
told that General Ben Butler and his SON.
in law, j. L. Adams, had lot of money
in the First National bank there, and we
considered it legitimate prey. We came
tc grief there don't like to talk about
the affair.
eve spent a week in Minneapolis
seeing the sights and playing cards. We
were at st. Paul part of that week. By
the way. Bill Caldwell and 1 both play
ed our last game of poker in st. Paul.
We were both pretty good players for
| had won $4,000 in few months l was
IL Florida, and he was considered the
best man in the state. He was killed
a few days later in Mortified, and such
a change has come over me that it dis
gusts me even to see the boys shake
dice for cigars, let alone play poker. l
remember distinctly the gambling house
where we played our last game. Guy
Salisbury, now minister, was the pro-
prietor. Brother Bob came along and
wanted to sit in the game, and L left
the table, for never gambled with him.
'We split up at st. Paul, and 1 went
to st. Peter and spent few days break
ing two horses. One day a wee mite of
a girl came up to me and boasted: Il
can ride a horse tool"
Il lifted her up before me and said:
what is your name?'
"'Horace Greeley Perry she replied.
MANY years after that a party of
visitors came to Saltwater penitentiary
and one of the young women registered
as Horace Greeley Perry 1 knew no
one of that name but the little girl who
had ridden so conidentially with me when
I was bandit, and l reminded her of
the ride. She had become a newspaper
writer, and until our release she was
one of the hardest workers for us.
'Oh, guess don't mind saying some
thing about Mortified. Well, first, we
learned the country, and on Sept.
visited the bank. All plans were made
and the next day came the raid. The
three men who went ahead fortified
themselves by drinking a quart of whis-
key. 1t was the initial blunder.
"The story of the raid, the pursuit,
and our capture has been told many
times, but never correctly. Every blood
and thunder history of the Younger
brothers asserted that Frank and Jessie
James were the only members of the
party, but it is not true. They were
not in Minnesota at that time and are
guiltless of being participants in the af-
fray that brought death to some and long
years of prison life and repentance to
myself and brothers.

resumed. A petition regarding the suit
OF John NJ Broome against the Citizens
Telephone company and the city of Man
kato was referred to the committee or
streets, etc. A petition for a standpipe
| in North Mankato was referred to the
committee on waterworks. A remons
trance against the vacation of street
in Waite & Roelfson's addition was re.
ferred to the committee on streets, etc
The property owners on Lafayette
street had expressed desire for the ex.
tension of that street to Fourth street
and the board of public works was in.
structed to proceed with the work.
On motion of Aid. Plymat, the board
of public works was instructed to pro-
coed with the work of curbing and boule-
varding Cherry street from Front to
Broad street, and from Broad to Fifth.
Aid. Coy, of the committee on fire de-
partment, reported a number of neces-
sary repairs, and they were ordered
made. Several complaints of cattle being
berded in the streets and damaging
lawns and boulevards were referred to
the committee on streets, etc. Aid
Kleinschmidt interposed and said that
the committee would put in claim for
overtime if any more work was saddled
onto them. The city attorney was au-
thorized to- effect compromise with H.
c. Gerlach for $3.50, on his bill of $24O
for plans, ETC., for an electric power
station.
The board of public works was author
lied to make the necessary fills where
sidewalks were to be constructed, when
the foundation had caved in or had been
washed away through no fault of the
owner
Walnut street was ordered curbed and
guttered from the alley next the DeRosia
property to Broad street.
H. L. Schmitt reports that the pro-
perty owners who are opposing the spe-
cial assessments for sewer on North
Broad street, would prefer to arbitrate
the matter, rather than carry on the
fight in the courts. The matter was re-
ferred to the committee ON sewers and
the city attorney.
DR.. Jacoby appeared in behalf of the
Decoration day committee of the G. A.
r. to request the use of Sibley Park on
the afternoon of May 3Oth, for the me-
mortal exercises. The council at its last
meeting granted the Mankato base ball
team the use of the park for that after
noon, and after debating the matter for
some little time, Aid. Plymat moved
that the G.. A. r. be rendered the use of
Sibley. park for the forenoon of Decora-
ton day or Lincoln park all day. This
motion was adopted, and the council ac-
copied the invitation of the post to at
tend the memorial exercises

TRACK SINKS TWO FEET.

From Thursdays Daily.
A sink hole has developed in the road
bed of the Chicago & Northwestern
road at point between Judson and
Cambria The track has sunk two feet,
and this has necessitated the running of
trains over the old line from New Ulm
to ManNato. The heavy and continued
rainfall is responsible for the giving way
of the road bed, which at that point is
over a quagmire. Passengers are be-
ing conveyed to Judson and Cambria
from Mankato and New Ulm.

GROUNDS BEAUTIFIED.
North Mankato School Now Has a
Lawn and Flower Bed.
From Fridays Daily.


The North Mankato school now boasts
a lawn, as result of the work of several
public spirited citizens on the school
board. The lawn has just been complet-
ed, and improves the appearance of the
grounds wonderfully. 1t was placed
only in front of the building, leaving
plenty of room for play ground, which
is graveled. A flower bed has also been
provided. The good work of improving
the appearance of the surroundings is
keeping pace in North Mankato with
that of this side of the stream. Some
of this is credited to the influence of the
Civic Improvement League.
