ONE FROM LIE SUEUR.
Horse Stealing Story From the Town
Where Fakes Ordinate.

LIE Sueur, Mimi, May IA bold at
tempt was made last night by deter
mined thief to steal valuable horse
from the stables of the Cosgrove COM
pany of LIE Sueur, but was frustrated
by the bravery and prompt action of the
hostler, Mart Dunn, who sleeps in a
room over the office.
Dunn was awakened shortly after mid
night by slight noise made by the
robber and, on looking from the window
of his room, saw the horse being led
away by man whom he could not rec
ognize. Selling a gun and throwing up
the window he fired, but in his anxiety
not to hit the horse, he missed the man.
The robber was game and did not run
away, but only tried to lead the horse
faster. Dunn pursued the robber, and
finally the horse broke away from his
captor. The thief ran into a patch of
woods. Dunn caught the horse and took
him back to the stable. Then Dunn went
up town to report to his employers.
When he returned, he was amazed to
find that the thief had returned and was
lesding the horse away again. He chas-
ed him and fired three times more and
this time he feels certain that he wound
ed the man, for he dropped the halter,
ran away and escaped.

YOUNG RUNAWAY.
Boy From Wabasha Found in the
Company Of Tramps.
From MONDAYS Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
Last night the police picked up six
teen years old who was in company
with some tramps on the river bank.
He gave his name as Frank Pfeilstiicker,
and said that his home is at Wabasha.
Chief Donahue suspected that he had run
away from home, and this morning he
called up the marshal at Wabasha and
asked him to see the boys father. The
marshall did this, and it was learned
that the lad ran away from his home
His father directed that he be taken back
to Wabasha.
The boy stated to Free Press report
er that he left his home two or three
weeks ago and has been in the company
of tramps ever since. He stated that
the reason that he left home was because
he was scolded. He was attending school
when at home. He stated that his faith
er is named Louis Pfeilstiicker. He is
not a bad looking boy, but appears as
though he was inclined to be indolent
and surely cannot have very elevated
purposes if he is content to go around
in the company of tramps.

MAY CONSOLIDATE.
Schiller Lodge Desires to Join Man
kato Lodge Of Odd Fellows.
From TUESDAYS Daily.


There is movement on foot looking
to the consolidation of the two Odd Fell
low lodges in this city. The initiatory
has been taken by Schiller lodge No.
20, and committee from that lodge ap-
peared before Mankato lodge No. Is
last night and proposed on behalf of
Schiller lodge that the two lodges con-
solidate, Schiller lodge to surrender its
charter and the members to join Man
kato lodge.
Mankato lodge No. Is referred the
matter to a committee, to investigate
and report at the next meeting. It is
very likely that the proposition will be
accepted, as the tendency of lodges, as
of everything else, is toward consoli-
dation, and in the larger cities this is be-
ing carried out. The advantages are the
saving of expense and the formation OF
stronger lodges that are better able to
carry out the purposes of the order
than several weaker lodges.
Mankato lodge numbers l75 members
and Schiller lodge 81 members. Combin
ed they would make one strong lodge
Schiller lodge is an off shoot of Mankate
lodge, for thirty years ago enough mem
bers withdrew from Mankato lodge tt
form the new lodge. There is but ON,
member of Schiller lodge now who wa.
member at the time of this withdraw
al, and only one or two members Of
Mankato lodge who belonged then.

IDENTIFIED AS CAFFNEy
Party From Iowa Examines Remains
Late Yesterday Afternoon.
From Tuesdays Daily.

John Gaffney of Peterson, Ia, was in
deed the man who was killed by the
North Western train near the Pannen-
berg brickyard little to the west of
the city limits about one o'clock last
Sunday. E. D. Beeman, his brother-in-
law, grain dealer OF harley, Iowa, ar
rived in the city late yesterday after
noon, and put an end to all possible
doubt on that score.
MIR. Beeman first received news of the
tragic occurrence at eleven o'clock Sun
day night. Mrs. Kate Ingersoll, the sis
ter of the dead man, had received the
telegram from Coroner Kennedy, and had
come from her home on a farm near
Primgahr to tell Mr.. Beeman about it.
Mr. Beeman left Hartley for Sheldon at
ten o'clock yesterday morning, and at
Sheldon he took the first train for Man
kato.
Mr.. Beeman was met at the union de-
pot by Coroner Kennedy and the two
proceeded to Klein's undertaking rooms.
Mr.. Beeman looked at the dead mans
face and produced photograph of Calf
ney, that had been taken some twenty
years ago. Mr.. Beeman had not seen
Gaffney for about year, and when he
had seen him, Gaffney wore a mustache.
The face, too, was badly distorted by
the crushing of the skull. Yet the re-
semblance of the face to the much
younger one of the picture could readily
be seen. Mr.. Beeman, too, thought he
could recognize the face of the corpse as
that of Gaffney.
Gaffney, he said, though his hair was
gray was about forty-fve years old
It was Characteristic of the family
to grow gray at an an early age.
The papers found in the dead mans
pocket were shown to Mr.. Beeman, and
established the identity of the deceased
beyond doubt. Among the stubs of
his check book was one that showed a
check for $3.50 drawn in favor of one A
Hanson. Mr.. Beeman remembered that
Gaffney owed this very amount to A
Hanson of Primgahr, and the check was
without question drawn in order to pay
this debt.
| The letter that the dead man had in
his pocket, addressed to Mrs. Kate In
gersol, with the salutation of ISIS" and
the signature "John," was read by Mr.
Beeman. He knew great deal about
the business matters to which the let
ter referred. Mrs. Ingersol was the sis.
ter of John Gaffney. The latter told
Mrs. Ingersol that she would have te
work the farm herself or rent it out
This was farm near Peterson, farm
n which Gaffney's mother had life es
tate, and which Gaffney had been man
aging. There had been three cornered
deal between Gaffney and his mother
and sister, according to the terms Of
which Gaffney was to work the farm
and his sister was to furnish capita
with which to purchase some of the nee
essary chattels, and rent an adjoining
strip of land. Gafney, it appears, got

]. N. BARR is DEAD.
He Was Assistant to President oil
Milwaukee Road.

From Tuesdays Daily.
J. n Barr, assistant to the president
of the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
railroad, is dead at his home in Liberty
vile, ILL.,, of heart disease. He was fifty
two years old.
Mr.. Barr was one of the best known
railroad mechanical men in the country
He started early in life as a railroad en-
ploye, occupied various positions and was
appointed superintendent of motive pow
er for the st. Paul road
On Nov. l, 1899, he was given the place
of mechanical superintendent of the Bal
timore & Ohio. Not long after that he
accepted the same position with the
Erie.
He returned to the st. Paul road and
became general superintendent, and in
April of last year was named as assist
ant to the president.
Many of the devices now used in
railway shops and in connection with
rolling stock are the products of Mr.
Bars inventive genius.
