ST. PETER SIDELIGHTS.
Items Plucked From The Tribune OF
That City.
From Thursdays Daily.

A sad accident occurred to Benney,
the twelve year old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Woelpern, of this city, on Sunday aft
ernoon last. In company with other
boys, he visited the new bridge being
built in this city. As boys are never
idle, Benney, with the rest enjoyed in
jumping from the top of the west APP
proach to the bridge into the soft sand
below. Although the boys were warned
to stop the dangerous practice, they per-
sisted in keeping on, and Benney alight-
ing unfortunately at the bottom of the
sand heap, snapped the large bone off
at the right ankle. He will be laid up
for some time. Through the kindness of
Miss Stella Bennett, who happened to be
at, the bridge with her pony and cart,
the young lad, was taken home, where
DR.. Strathern attended his injury.

The football boys of Wells came back
to Mankato from st. Peter Saturday night
on their way home from their game with
the ST. Peter high. There was no yell
ing, no singing, no waving of standards
The ribbons of orange and green, so
bright and crisp that morning, now
hung down n sad, dull and crumpled APP
pearance, and seemed to say, ''We are
beat and we know it." st. Peter had
won the game by score of twenty two
to zero. That team, averaging in weight
about a hundred and siXty-five pounds,
had proved entirely too strong for the
Wells high school boys. Swensk, the
st. Peter full back. was a giant, and his
bucking of the Wells line was something
terrific 1t was he who made all the
touchdowns for st. Peter. If there is
a high school team in southern Minneso-
Ia that the Mankato high school has
reason to fear, it is that of st. Peter.
1t is not certain, as yet, whether any
game will be arranged between the two.

Victory crowned the efforts of the rep
resentatives of the NIankato normal on
the oridiron at Redwood Falls Saturday
afternoon against the high school team
of that city, though the score was very
close, being six to five. That score
would seem to indicate that the two
teams were merely equal, but such was
not the case. The normal boys were the
superiors of their opponents in weight,
skill and in every other respect, that
counts for victory with the Mgskin.
Each team made a touchdown, and the
normal kicked goal, but Redwood Falls
missed The normals, however, seemed
always to have the advantage, keeping
Redwood Falls on the defensive, and the
ball in the latter's territory almost con-
stantly. At the end of the first half,
the normal had the ball within three feet
of the Redwood Falls goal, and at the
end of the second half, within two inches.
mus TWO lOucnuOWnS were allHOSJ lldue
for the normal Redwood Falls had a
good team and her boys fought hard,
but their opponents were too strong for
them. The normal team held the other
repeatedly for downs, and Redwood Falls
twice resorted to the eXpedient of punt
ing The normalites on the other hand
did not have to punt once, as the other
team could not hold them for downs at
all.
The following is the lineup of the
normals:
Joe Mach, center; William Henning,
right guard; J. Connolly, left guard !;
Lorrien Mccormick, right tackle; Olson,
left tackle; Al Krost, right end; Ed
Kramer, left end; James Giblin, quar-
ter back; John Just. right half; Charles
Johnson, left half; John O'Brien, full
back. Frank Phelps went along as ref
cree.
