LOSES HIS LIFE.
Detective Haggerty ofSt. Paul Drowned
in Heron Lake,

detective Haggerty ofSt.Paul Drowned
in Heron Lake,
Thomas Il. Haggerty, Il we'll known
detective of the headquarters staff, st.
Paul. was drowned in Heron lake,
jackson county, while hunting Mon
day.
Telephone messages received by
Chief OConnor Tuesday afternoon
were to the effect that Haggarty, who
was out OH the lake alone i'm skiff.
fell into the water and lost his life
before assistance could reach him.
The accident was the second with
which Haggerty met while hunting on
the lake within two weeks. He near
ly lost his life about two weeks ago
when his boat capsized. He struggled
In the water two hours before he was
rescued at that time.
Nothing daunted by that mishap he
returned to the lake last Friday with
Detective Frank Fraser and Frank
Green. a carpenter residing Mt 1872
East Ninth street. He went against
the advice of his friends and remainx
day after Eraser returned to st.
Paul.
Fraser left Haggcrty Mt the lake
Sunday. Haggerty said that he would
come on to st. Paul after another days
shooting, his luck on Saturday and
Sunday not having been good.
Haggerty was on the lake alone and
he was thrown into the water by the
sinking Of his boat, which sprung a
leak. An ice crust OH the lake is said
to have cut the bottom of the boat.
Haggerty's cries for help, when he fell
into the water, were heard by DIR. Boil
ter, of Heron Lake, who was hunting
in a boat distance away.
DIR. Bolter hurried towards the
drowning man, but he had disap-
peared below the surface before he
reached the spot where Haggcrty had
been seen. The water where Iagger.
ty went down was not more than six
feet deep, but the bottom of the lake
was muddy and it is thought that the
body was held at the bottom.
A searching party was sent to the
lake and the body was recovered
Wednesday morning.
Haggerty was one of the most popu-
lar members of the st. Paul police de-
partnent, and the news of his death
Tuesday was received with regret by
his many friends. He was well known
in the city, where he had resided DUR
ing most of his life.
He was appointed on the force July
%, 1892, and was detailed as driver
of the Rondo station wagon. On
December % of the same year he was
transferred to the central station,
where he remained as driver Of the
patrol wagon until July of last year,
when he was appointed detective.
He was born Mt Faribault, Mimi,
thirty-nine years ago, and he lived in
that town until he came to st. Paul
twenty years ago. He was married
and is survived by his wife, two
! brothers and three sisters.
His remains were brought to St.
Paul and the funeral, which was very
large. took place from the cathedral
Thursday morning, with interment at
Calvary cemetery

Fully Exonerated.

We clip the following from the
Pomeroy Ohio, Tribune Telegraph:
In last weeks issue of the. Tri-
bune- Telegraph the name of Rev.
Craig, of Hartford, appeared in
our columns in connection with
the marriage of John Walters,
colored, and Mary McCumber, a
white girl. who were married by
Rev. Craig, has suffered an unin-
territorial wrong and in justice to
him We gladly publish the facts
which exonerate him from all
blame in the matter. According
to his statement Walters and the
girl called at the hotel where Rev
Craig stops, and asked him to per-
form the ceremony. Their license
from the County Clerk at Point
Pleasant was examined and found
to be all right. The girl who is
rather large for her age, was dress
ed as woman and with the appar-
emit intention to deceive had SO
successfully altered her appearance
that the minister nor those present
ever suspected that she was under
the required age. Upon the ques-
ton of her color Rev. Craig was a
little doubtful and asked Walters
in regard to it. Walters respond
ed that she had very little colored
blood in her vains. Not fully
satisfied, however, Rev. Craig call
ed two or three prominent citizens
and and asked their opinion as to
her color and they all decided that
she was a mulatto whereupon the
ceremony was performed.
Rev. Craig is corroborated in
his statement by prominent citi.
zens of Hartford who were present
at the time.

Police Prosecutor Favors Whipping

backs were barred to the lash, but

They do not have to work as hard
there as it they were at their regu-
lar labor. This sort of men keep
on beating and abusing their poor
wives. until some day their frenzy
leads them to murder. There are
two men to-day who have been in
Police Court several times in the
last year for abusing their wives.
81 confidently expect to see
those men arrested for murder of
the most horrible kind before
many months. Yet, if the Judge
could order them whipped, they
would quit it. and no matter how
drunk they might get, the memory
of their own flesh quivering under
the lash would stay their hand.

whipping post could not be used
