MAY BE A MURDER.
Trouble Occurs Between Residents of
Blooming Prairie.
from THURSDAYS Dali


Word came to this city Wednesday
morning of a murderous assault made
upon Fred Thimsen at Blooming Prairie
by Peter Fredericksen of that place. The
report stated that Mr.. Thimsens condi-
ton was serious and County Attorney
Littleton went to Blooming Prairie on
the eleven o'clock train to take the dy
ing mans deposition.
The story told here was that the two
men had attended meeting Saturday
night where they had some words, after
they came out of the hall they continued
their quarrel, finally coming to blows
They were separated and Thimsen, who
was bleeding, was taken to his home
On Monday Thimsen grew worse and
was delirious for some time His con-
dition was regarded as so serious that
his life was despaired of. Frederickson
has been arrested and is being held until
after it is known whether Thimsen re-
covers. Thimsen is a popular young
man who clerks in Cashman's store.
Frederickson is ADMINISTRATIONS

THE BOY ON THE FARM.
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Have you got boy? Does he get up
early, milk cows, feed team, cattle and
pigs? Does he take the team and pillow,
or drag, or rake, or NOW all day? What
are you doing for him? Do you give him
anything at all except his board and
clothes and little schooling in winter?
What inducement do you offer him to
stay with you and help you on the
farm?
Suppose that instead of enforcing
your legal claim to his services until he
is of age, and thus disgusting him with
farm life and paving the way toward an
unloved, neglected old age for yourself,
you do the fair thing by this boy. Give
him something for his own, let him be
earning and saving little money. Don't
deny him the opportunity of an educa-
ton if he desires one, for an ignorant
man is surely going to be placed at a
fearful disadvantage in the coming
years; give him the best team and the
best tools to work with and encourage
him by kind appreciation. The reason SO
many boys leave the farm Disguised
is because they are treated like little
slaves by selfish, avaricious parents. You
can treat boy like a horse, or an OK,
but the horse or OK will not run off, and
the boys can and will, and we don't
blame them.

WOOD A DesERIEK.
Government Offers Rt ward for YOUNG
Man Who Enlisted in Mankato.
From, INodnnndo
From Wednesdays Daily.


One of the young men who recently
enlisted in the cavalry branch of the
army from this city has deserted, and
the government is looking for him, and
if found term at hard labor in one of
the prisons awaits him. The name of
the young deserter is Erwin Wood, and
he enlisted at the enlisting station in
this city Feb. 10th last, and was assigned
to the troop c, fifth cavalry, at Fort
Huachuca, Arizona Territory. He de-
serted March 18th evidently about as
soon as he reached the point to which he
was assigned. He probably enlisted to
get ride south, intending to desert, as
is sometimes the case.
Chief Donahue has received notice
from Col. c. A. Stedman of the fifth cav
airy offering reward of $50 for the
arrest of Wood. The latter is twenty
two years of age, and he has relatives in
Wisconsin.

CRUELTY CHARGED.
One Farmer Secures a Warrant for
Arrest of Another.

From Tuesdays Daily.
John Smith came to the city yesterday
afternoon from jamestown and procur-
ed warrant for the arrest of Michael
McGrath, who lives in lie Sueur county,
charging him with torturing and cruel
ty to year old calf belonging to the
former. According to Mr.. Smiths state
ment, he has rented farm in James
town, and McGrath owns the corn upon
it and has neglected to take it off, al
though notified several times by Mr..
Smith to do so. Yesterday McGrath
drove by the farm and saw two calves in
the corn, and he took a pitch fork and
knocked one of them down and stuck
the tines into it. The other ran away.
1t is not thought that the calf was bad
ly injured.
Sheriff Williams took the warrant to
serve. A brother of Mr.. McGrath came
to the city yesterday and tried to set
tie the matter with Mr. Smith, but with
out success.
Sheriff Williams returned with Nc
Grath and the latter was arraigned be-
fore Judge Plymat at 2 p. m. and plead
ed guilty to the charge The court said
that he was inclined to think from what
the county attorney had said that he
was not bad fellow generally, but he
had made a grave mistake and the court
could not overlook it. The court fined
McGrath $40 and costs, which he paid.
McGrath stated to the sheriff that he
had frequently asked Smith not to al
low his cattle to get into the corn, but
it did not seem to do any good. Yester-
day, when he saw the calves there, he
asked Smith to take them out. but
Smith replied that they were not his.
then chased the calves. and
they fell down. He might have struck
one of them. They got mp and ran
through a barbed wire fence and one
got cut there. Afterwards he had offer
ed to buy the injured one at Smiths own
price, but the latter would not sell.

H. P. Jensen Suffers Accident Shortly
Before Noon Hour.
May Be Injured Internally, But No
Bones Are Broken.
Missed His Step While Descending
From Upper Floor.
Removed to His Home Where He Was
Placed in Bed.
From Wednesdays Daily.


What may prove to be a very serious
accident happened to H. P. Jensen short
ly before noon today in his carriage
store on South Second street. Mr.. Jen-
sen was descending ladder in the rear
part of the building when he in some
way missed his step and fell backwards
to the lower floor, about twenty feet be-
low. The men working in the painting
room heard him fall and listened. They
heard him groan, rushed to him and car
ried him to the office. A physician was
summoned. Mr.. Jensen was placed in a
chair. His face and hands were perfectly
ashen in color. He was carried in the
chair to his home on East jackson street
and made as comfortable as possible in
his bed. The attending physician could
find no evidence of any bones broken.
Still Mr.. Jensen was very badly bruised
and suffered great pain. He also felt a
pain about the heart Whether there are
internal injuries cannot be determined
yet. Mr.. Jensen breathes with difficulty
and can scarcely speak.
