tai of $3,lSl.S0. The amount paid out

small.

Up to About $360,000.
From Saturdays Daily.

OduJs
The st. James Gazette of yesterday
stated that the appraisers in the Arm
strong bankruptcy matter adjourned for
a short vacation, after which they will
look up some land for which land con-
tracts were discovered on Wednesday.
As far as they have gone they figure
the property at $34l, 739.67. They es-
innate that the total will foot up to
somewhere around $4,000. While the
figures they have placed on different
properties are what they consider their
value as property in bankruptcy and
that must be sold, there is no hope that
their estimate can be realized in the
sale, and some of the property is en-
numbered.
They find the following property;
Overdrafts, $l,SO4.37; bonds and
stocks. s26,24O.OO; live stock, $4,000;
furniture, old bank, $675.S5; buildings

DEATH FROM OVER EXERTION
DAME! Wilson, a Well Known Man,
Died Last Niqht.
From SATURDAYS Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
A long, arduous chase after wolf,
occurring just two weeks ago yesterday,
resulted last night in the death of Daniel
Wilson at his home in Rapidan. On
Thursday, Jan. %, Mr.. Wilson and his
brother, were out hunting wolves. One
animal they pursued for four miles
across Loon Lake and finally secured
their game. Both brothers were well
fatigued when the chase was over and
were dripping with perspiration. The
next day Daniel Wilson was taken VIC
lently i'll and physician was summoned
from the city. The man seemed to i'm
prove for time but later he grew rapid
ly worse. He suffered very much from
digestive trouble and had some pneu-
monia, but his death can be attributed to
neither of these causes. He simply died
from overexertion. Death occurred last
evening at eight O'Clock. Mr.. Wilson
was forty-seven years of age.
Daniel Wilson was born in Erie coun-
ty, New York. He was the son OF R.
T. Wilson. In the year 1860 he moved
to Blue Earth county where he ran a
fruit farm. He was married on July 10,
1884, to Miss Lettie Smith, daughter of
Deacon Smith. The deceased is sur
weed yhis wife, two sons and daugh-
ter. The daughters, Miss Myra and Ida
Wilson, attend the normal school. The
boy, Grover A. Wilson, is still mere
child. The deceased also leaves broth
er and sister j. L. and Miss Clara Will
son, living at Garden City.
The funeral will take place tomorrow
from the family home in Rapidan at one
o'clock and from the Baptist church al
Garden City at two o'clock.

A. J. Hanson Loses His Case Against
Contractor Neitge.
Suit of G. M. Henderson Against City
Now On Trial.
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
The suit of E. I. P. Staede VS.. the
Mapleton State bank and r. B. Hanna
was on trial all of this forenoon in the
district court. Mr.. Staede was on the
stand large part of the time and pro-
duced papers that established strong
chain of evidence. When the evidence
was all in, the plaintiffs attorneys,
Thomas and Evan Hughes, moved that
the court instruct the jury to bring in
verdict for the plaintiff. The court
did this, and the jury rendered a YER
dict in favor of Mr.. Staede for $l,S7S.67
against the bank, letting Mr.. Hanna
out.
Mr.. Hanna, before the Buck defalca-
ton, had given Mr.. Staede check for
81 800, dating it several days ahead,
to Nov. lst. Before that date the
bank closed, and Mr.. Hanna deposited the
money with the public examiner. After
the bank reopened and the check was
presented for payment, the bank refused
to pay it, although the money to pay it
was there. Mr.. Staede commenced his
action to force the bank to pay over. the
money, and has won. The money is in
Mr.. Hanna's deposit account. Of course
the payment of it to Mr.. Staede will not
oAo hopl>,c ho
never belonged to it.
The case of A. j. Hanson VS.. Otto
Neitge was tried yesterday, and went to
the jury at 2:45 p. m. The jury re-
turned at 4:30 p. m. with verdict for
the defendant. The plaintiff sued Mr..
Neitge on contract to recover $3.50
claimed to be due for bill of lumber.
The transaction was considerably mixed
up, but the defendant claimed that the
plaintiff did not own the lumber.
The suit of G. NJ. Henderson VS.. the
city of Mankato was on trial this after
noon. Henderson sues to recover $3.50
for the loss of his horse by drowning
during the high water last spring, where
Mound avenue crosses the railroad
track. The plaintiff claims that the city
should have had the road fenced off or
danger signals up. The city claims that
there was contributory negligence on the
part of the defendant, as it was plain
that it was too dangerous a place to at
tempt to drive through. Long & Dyer
are the attorneys for the plaintiff, and
City Attorney Daley is defending the
city.
The suit of the estate OF the late
Frank c. Jones VS.. Kelly Bros, to re-
cover $1,000 for the death of the de-
ceased, is to be continued until the next
term of the district court.

great organization with its eight years
of unprecedented success in this coun-
try, stands for the best that has ever
been attempted along the line of splen-
did productions of the works of the
master composers in the vernacular.
This season the organization has
taken a higher rank than ever before,
as shown by its recent festivals of
opera in New York, Boston and Chi,
cago. With its fine corps of princi-
pals, including a score OF. primma don
mas, tenors, baritones and basses,
many of them being heard for the first

a competent full grand opera orches.
ira, under the direction of the Cheva-
lier Emanuel and Elliott Schenck, the
Wagnerian conductor, Mr.. Savage has
placed his company on basis that
makes it the greatest of its kind.

of the organization can be cited than
its fine repertoire, which included
fourteen operas, as follows:
Wagner'S "Lohengrin" and "Tann-
hauser," "Verdi's Othello," I'll Trova-
tore and Aida" Gounds Faust"
and Romeo and Juliet" Puccina' S
''Tosca' and LA Boheme," Bizet's
Carmen DoniZetti's Lucia di Lam
mermoor," Mascagnis "Cavalleria
Rusticanna," Flotow's Martha" and
Balfe's bohemian Girl"
Each OF these masterpieces were
given a special scenic production this
year and were produced under the
technical stage direction of Herr
Joseph Engel, direct from The Imper-
lal Opera House at Strasburg.
Three OF the most popular operas
in the repertoire will be given during
the coming festival including prob
ably Wagonerr "Lohengrin," Verdi's
I'll Torvatore,' Bizart's Carmen"
or Balfe's Bohemian Girl"
The company travels in its own
special train of ten cars and will give
the operas in the city with the same
elaborate settings employed in New
York.

Supporting Their Tails.

A species of sheep in the east, COM
mon in Syria, is so encumbered by the
weight Of its tail that the shepherds
fix a piece Of thin board to the under
part, where 1t is not covered with
thick wool, to prevent it from being
torn by the bushes, etc. Some have
small wheels affixed to facilitate the
dragging of these boards after them,
The tall of q common sheep of this
sort usually weighs 15 pounds or up
wards, while that of larger species,
after being well fattened, will weigh
SO pounds.
