EXCITED OVER COPPER.
Chunks Of the Metal Found Near
Spring Island.
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
The people around Spring Island are
greatly excited over a find of copper
that has been made there. A man from
the east picked up large chunk of it
back of Rev. Powell's house day or
so ago. The chunk was as large as a
mans fist and almost pure copper and
can be sliced off with sharp knife.
A short time ago Thomas Mulmer, who
lives across the road from the Spring
Island school house, found chunk of
copper. As a result of these finds, the
farmers are adding to the value they
hold their land at, and are searching for
chunks of the brown metal There is
talk of having shaft sunk into one of
the hills.
Several years ago fine piece of copper
was found in a creek bed north of the
city. 1t was almost pure copper and
could be cut with knife 1t was look
ed at with wonder for time, until it
was remembered that brewery was
once located there and burned. It has
since been supposed that the copper
that was found was part of the outfit
of the brewery, and melted and got, mix
ed up with the sand.

A sixteen year old miss named Ella
Fowler left her home at Owatonna at
five o'clock Saturday afternoon, taking
the train for Mankato, and intending to
go on to Winnebago City for visit. Her
father is dead, and her mother seems not
to have very good control over her, for
the girl is said to be on the firtatious

A young fellow from Minneapolis re-
Gently spent short time in Owatonna,
and the young lady straightway fell in
love with him, and her mother feared
that she intended to 60 to Minneapolis
from Winnebago City. The mother has
objected to the union of the two, and
the young lady left her home Saturday
without notice. Inquiry of her sister
led to the discovery that Mankato was
her destination, and Sheriff Misgen of
Steele county wired to Chief Donahue
to hold the girl until he could arrive.
The officers were at the depot when
the train came in and they took posses
sion of the young woman and held her in
restraint until the arrival of the sheriff.
She. consented to accompany that official
home, and was not locked up. The sheriff
and his fair prisoner departed for Owa-
tonna yesterday afternoon.

Mr.. HaNCE'S POSITION.
Always Ready and Willing to Assist
Every Mankato Institution.
-om FRIDAY VS. Daily,

TlOn Iidlly.
Henry E. Hance, who was member
of the committee of the Maakato BUSH
ness Mems association, appointed some
time ago for the purpose of raising funds
for the entertainment of the summer
school students, explains that he was
not able to give his time. to this COM
mittee work, as his attention was al
ready absorbed in the street railway pro-
ject, While exceedingly friendly to the
summer school, as he is and always has
been to all institutions that bring money
and business into Mankato, he consider
ed that there were others on the COM
mittee who were more directly interested
in its work, and really owed their time
to the enterprise rather than he. As the
other members of the committee did
not show disposition to push the work
forward, he did not feel like assuming
the whole burden himself, occupied as he
already was with other propositions for
the good of the city.
As the matter is now in the hands of
another committee of the Business
Mems association he wishes that COM
mittee all kinds of success in providing
means for the entertainment and benefit
of the young people who have come to
the city to fit themselves to educate the
coming generation of men and women.

BLUE EARTH MEN ROW.
So a Dispatch From Grand Forks,
N. D., Saws.

Grand Forks, N. D., July 9.-John
Stoddard, living on farm mile from
Langdon, was almost instantly killed,
it is charged, by S. L. Hartzell, an at
torney, who owns farm across the road
from Stoddard.
Hartzen and Stoddard had had trou-
BILE over roadway, and when Stoddard
and his wife and little daughter had
driven over the Hartzell land they were
met by Hartzell and his business part
ner, Bascom.
Stoddard had left the buggy to fix
up the wires of the fence, when, it is
alleged, Hartzell leveled a shotgun at
him and fired, two buckshot penetrated
Stoddard's heart. Death was almost in
slant. Mrs. Stoddard and Bascom wit
messed the killing. Both men came to
Langdon about two years ago from Blue
Earth county, Minnesota, and had had
much trouble, Stoddard asserting that
Hartzell had tried to get Stoddard's wife
to start divorce proceedings.
Hartzell is held at Langdon on a
charge of murder in the first degree.

nor was there any obstruction on the
depot platform that would cause him to
have fallen under the cars.
Brakeman Nissen of the Chicago &
Northwestern train, saw the three men
on the west side of the train and sus-
pected that they intended to get on the
blind baggage, so he stood between them
and it. When the train pulled out he
waited until he was opposite the smoker,
when he jumped aboard, the remaining
cars being vestibuled and impossible for
the men to board. The train crew did
not learn of the accident until reaching
Walnut Grave.
Ole Paulson, telegraph operator at
Walnut Grove, was standing on the de-
pot platform, west of the depot, and
as the Chicago & Northwestern train
pulled out, he saw man run at high
speed toward the train as though to
board it toward the front. The Omaha
train shut out the view of the man be-
fore he tried to board the other train,
but he got good look at him under the
electric light and he thought to himself
that there was man who was going to
get a free ride. When the two trains
had pulled out, he identified the wounded
man as the one whom he had seen run
ming toward the Northwestern train.
Efforts were made yesterday to find
the man, Henry, but he had cleared
out. The marshal of Springfield has in
formed the deputy coroner that on July
4th he drove bad looking lot of tramps
out of that village, and that two of
them answered the descriptions of Nc
Mullen and his companion.
From the letters in McMullen's coat
it appears that his mother is visiting in
Detroit. He had an uncle in Lansing.
Mr.. Kennedy telegraphed to Miles John
son, mentioned in one of the letters as
friend, and to the chief of police at
Lansing, asking them to inform Mrs. Nc
Mullen of the death of her son and to
ask what disposition she desires made
of the remains. This morning he receiv-
ed the following reply:
Detroit, Mich, July IL. To Coroner
Kennedy: Send Lee McMullen and his
belongings and bill account of death to
