ern states were disposed of with so
much dispatch that they failed to fur
nish the gossip necessary to an inter
esting convention.
The men who are TO examine the
platform which has been in the pos
session of Senator Lodge for several
days, have been selected by the vari
Gus state delegations and there is
practically no doubt that the declara-
tion for protection will be emphatic
and that there will be but little COM
fort for the tariff revisionists. A
pledge to make changes in schedules
when such changes are necessary is
the only concession that will be made
by the "stand patters." Possibly the
wording may be changed ,and. those
who have been talking rel n will
secure the use of the word :" .sed" to
express the idea that is be con-
veyed, but even this is considered
doubtful. The majority are against
having anything like general re-
vision of tariff suggested and will con-

NEARLY RUN DOWN.
Narrow Escape Of E. Rosenberger a
the Main Street Crossing.
From Wednesdays Daily.

Ernest Rosenberger had a narrow es-
cape from death OF serious injury on
the Main street crossing of the Milwau-
kee tracks this morning. He was taking
one of the firms travelling men to the
union depot with his samples, and did
not notice that there was freight train
backing down. In fact, he CO nd not
see it, as it came suddenly from vvnind
the Cargill elevator. 1t was long train,
with the engine at the far end, and
made little noise. His attention had been
occupied keeping track of some cars that
were being switched on the other side
of the street, and when he saw the cars
approaching from the north side he had
lust time to reverse his automobile and
put on the brakes, bringing the machine
to stop so suddenly that he was almost
thrown out. As it was, the cars jus,
grazed his front wheels.
That the Main street crossing is very
dangerous place is known to the rail
way company as well as to the aldermen
and city officials. There was no flag
man there this morning, nor ANYONE
to warn Mr.. Rosenberger of the dangel
of attempting to cross at that time.
Unless gates or a fiagman are PLACED
there, it viii be merely matter of TIM
would be much better to begin to TAX
the precautions before it happens tina,
afterwards.

TWO HORSES DROWNED.
Narrow Escape of Rural Mail Carrier
Whiicomb.
From Tuesdays Daily.

VIM. Whitcomb, mail carrier ON rural
route No. 6, across the river, lost his
team and had narrow escape from
death himself this afternoon. He was
returning at 80 o'clock from his route,
driving along the road that is cut in the
bluff opposite Sibley park, when the
horses ran away. The king bolt fell out
and the horses dashed on, leaving the
wagon standing ON the road, above the
river. The horses soon plunged over the
bank and went down fifty feet into the
river and were drowned.
Had the wagon gone over the bank
also, Mr. Whitcomb would undoubtedly
have been drowned also, as he is Grip
pie He had the best team of any on
the routes out of Mankato, and valued
it at 5000. The loss is heavy one
for him, but his own escape is for
tunate.
This road is very dangerous one, and
it is question whether it ought not
to be protected on the river side with a
fence.

UNHAPPY MARRIAGE.
Mrs. Bennett Would Separate Herself
From Husband.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Eternal nagging to have her make
over her property to him is alleged by
Mrs. Esther E. Bennett as one of the
main grounds for her suit for divorce
against A. G. Bennett, an action that
was broufht in the district court of Pas
adena, CAL, mention of which was made
in The Free Press several months ago.
The plaintiff contends that the defend
ant, having no property of his own to
amount to anything desired to enrich
himself through the muniicence of his
wife. His quarrelsome behavior was such
that he drove her nearly to nervous pros
tration. The unhappy couple lived for
some time in Mankato. DR.. Andrews was
the family physician. Attorney A. E.
Clark took the doctors deposition in re-
gard to the case before Judge Plymat
yesterday. Mr.. Clark appeared on be-
half of the plaintiff, but there was no
appearance at all for the defense. The
doctor testified to the nervous cOndl-
tion in which he usually found the wom-
an, condition that seemed to conform
exactly to her allegations of her hus-
bands nagging.
1t is doubtful whether the defendant
will go to Pasadena, CAL, from his pres
ent location at Minneapolis, to make any
defense. If he does so, it will in all like
lihood be for the purpose of getting Gus
tody of his four-year .old daughter, who
is now living with her mother in their
California home. The custody of this
child has long been matter of dispute
between the husband and wife Rumor
has it that on one occasion he even
tried to take the child from her mother
at the point of a revolver, but failed

AN EXCITING RUNAWAY.

Jean Coy's team, with which he carries
the mail along his rural route, got loose
from their hitching strap at the post
office this morning at 1880 o'clock and
dashed down to Front street and then
northward. Nobody happened to be in
the cart at the time. The horses ran
up North Front street until they reach
ed the big hill in the quarry district,
where one of them fell down. This gave
bystanders an opportunity of seizing the
brides and quieting the frightened ami
mails. No considerable damage was done.

From Mondays Daily.

August F. Hollmickel, the young Ia

Long & Dyer are attorneys for the plain

Hollmickel was obliged to have his

kato Lime & Stone company on the
ground that the machinery of the quar-
ry was in the same dangerous condition
when leased to the company
by Fowler 6 Pay, as when the plaintiff

Meeting the derrick with the power house
at the time of the accident ran overhead

that the plaintiff was an employe of the

the overhead cable caught the fall line
and chains that were carrying the stone
and the contact detached the stone from
the lines that were carrying it and caus

CHARLES P. STERLING DEAD.
Death Ends What Was to Be Prom
ising Career.
From Wednesdays Daily.

Charles Parker Sterling, a remarkably
bright and promising young lawyer of
Mountain Lake, well known in Mankato,
especially among the young people with
whom he associated at the city high
school, died yesterday morning at the
home of his mother at Elysian. The
young man had not been well for some
months, though his debility did not as
sumo an acute form until last Thursday,
when he was taken suddenly i'll, and was
brought from Mountain Lake to the
home of his mother for better care. He
grew rapidly worse and soon passed
away in spite of all that could be done
for him. The attending physician dag
nosed his case as inflammation of the
brain. Mr.. Sterling was about twenty
five years old and single.
Besides his mother, the deceased is
survived by three brothers. and one sis
ter: William Sterling and another
brother living at Elysian; Byron Ster-
ling of Buffalo, Ia; and Miss Clara
Sterling, living at her mothers home at
Elysian-
The funeral will be held at Elysian to-
morrow afternoon at one o'clock.
The untimely death will leave a great
gap among the wide circle of friends the
young man had at Mankato. He at
tended the high school for four. years
and was considered one of the bright
est and most energetic students of his
class. He was active, not only in the reg
ular duties of school life, but in the
social and political institutions of the
pupils as well. He served one term as
president of his class, with which he
graduated in the year 1900. During his
four years residence in Mankato, his ex-
ceIlent habits, no less than his zeal and
s.lergy in bringing to successful is
sue all that he undertook, won him many
friends and admirers.
After his graduation from the high
school, he attended the law school at the
state university, from which he gradual
ed last spring He opened law office
at Mountain Lake. All his friends and
acquaintance believed that his legal
career had opened very auspiciously, and
indeed they had excellent reason for so
believing, up TO the time of his last and
fatal illness.
