JUDGE BUCKS NEW BOOK.
Pioneer Lawyer Will Tell of Battles
With the Indians.
From MOnday's DailvC

The Indian outbreaks of Minnesota
will be treated exhaustively in new
book soon to be published by Daniel
Buck, the venerable Mankato lawyer
and former judge of the Minnesota SUI
preme court. Judge Buck was in st.
Paul yesterday, and made arrangements
with local printing concern to print the
book, and it is expected that the vol
ume will be out of press in about a
month.
"My book" Judge Buck said yester-
day at the Merchants, "will be entitled
Indian Outbreaks and will treat thor
oughly every Indian uprising in Min
nesota. 1t will consist of over 800 pages
and twenty seven chapters, and will give
special attention to the Sioux massacre
of white settlers in the Minnesota val
ley in 1862. 1t is subject which, to my
mind, has not been as fully described
as its Importance warrants, and 1 have
been working on the material for the
volume for three or four years."
Judge Buck, who retired from the SUI
preme court bench some years ago, is not
in active practice. He located near Man.
kato forty-seven years ago, and was a
member of a citizens volunteer com.
lpany through the uprising during which
so many lives were lost near New Ulm

MURDER OR SUICIDE.
An Exciting and Sensational Affair
Occurs in Martin County.
Eror, T,,aodo ga DaiIv.


Considerable excitement prevailed Sun
day in the southeast portion of Tenhas-
sen township as result of an attempt
ed murder or suicide in the neighborhood
at three O'Clock that morning, Fred Len
ming, young man aged twenty four be-
ing the victim.
He lived with his married brother on
a rented farm. Both men occupied sleep
ing rooms on the ground floor with only
a board partition, but no door, between
At about the hour named Sunday morn
ing the older brother and his wife were
awakened by great noise in the young
mans room.
Mr.. Lenning hurried to the scene of
the noise but had to pass through two
rooms first which took some little time
and when he entered his brothers room
found the young man lying in the bed
in a pool of blood, unable to speak.
Investigation showed that the man
had deep cash beginning at the nose
and extending diagonally across the up
per lip cut through to the gums and
given with such force that two front
teeth were broken off; there were two
long deep cuts across the throat, one
of which severed some of the muscles
of the vocal cords, rendering speech
impossible; there was also stab lower
down in the throat but not very deep. 1t
was supported that the young man had
attempted suicide.
Drs. Mccain and Johnson of this city
were phoned from Wilbert and hurried to
the scene of the tragedy. After the
cles stitched together the young man
was able to speak in whisper, and de-
clared that he did not attempt suicide
but that some one attacked and stabbed
and cut him while he slept. In the dark
he says he could only see the outline of
human form and has no idea who was
his assailant.
The physicians say it would be next
to impossible for man to infiict such
wounds upon himself with a pocket
knife, the only instrument found in the
room, and especially such. cut as the
one which broke off the two teeth. The
doctors believe the young man will re-
cover but his speech may be permanently
impaired. He has had no trouble with
any one and says he has no idea who
committed the cowardly deed. Some of
the neighbors are rather inclined to hold
to the theory OF suicide, however. The
cuts were all made with a sharp instru-
ment.
The affair has caused much excitement
and speculation in the neighborhood and
will be investigated by the authori-
ties.
This morning Lenning was taken to
Armstrong where he has relatives in or
der to receive better care.-Fairmont

expensive. In Minneapolis and many
other big cities there were railroad
crossings that had ten times the traf-
fic pass over them, and yet they were
simply guarded with gates.
Mr.. Chapman remarked that in the
city of Boston such overhead crossings
were made over railroad tracks when
ever it was practicable.
Mr.. Brett thought as Mr.. Currier did.
1t would be better to build another
bridge farther up stream. A pontoon
bridge might be resorted to if neces-
sary.
Carl Dice opposed the idea of an over
head bridge.
Mr.. Currier remarked that the Great
Western and Milwaukee roads should
not be allowed to do their switching
across Main street.
A communication was received from
the executive committee of the Inter
state Commerce Law convention of 1900,
informing the board that the chairman
of the committee had been at work at
Washington, trying to get the commit
tee of the house of representatives hav-
ing in charge a bill further defining the
powers of the interstate commerce COM
mission, to pass upon that bill so it
could be placed upon its final passage
at the next session of congress. The
majority of the committee was clearly in
favor of the bill but the chairman and
other members were determined to delay
it if possible. The communication went
on to say that during and the since
the year 1900 the railroads had on the
average raised the freight rates on all
merchandise very considerably.
The board referred the matter to the
committee on legislation. Mr.. Funk said
it was a good idea to keep plugging at
the rate question and giving the agitat-
ors all possible encouragement.
A letter was received from the Sec
rotary of the newly organized National
Business Mems association, dated at
Chicago, inviting the board of join. The
communication was placed on file.
