BARR BOUND OVER.
Mankato Man Has a Preliminary Hear
ing at Minnesota Lake.

From Fridays Dali.

riOiu IIiue6y . Idhy.
On complaint of Hazel I. May, girl
of eighteen years, who has been living
with Mr.. and Mrs. E. F. Kobe for the
past few years, Henry Barr, of Mankato,
but at one time this summer employed
in this town as a laborer was arrested
last Saturday and brought before JUS
tice Stiernagle for a preliminary hear
ing to answer to the charge of bastardy.
When the case came for trial change
of venue was taken to Justice Howe's
court, and on account of the papers be-
ing illegally made out the case was dis
missed. Shortly afterwards new pa
pers were given to Constable Hodge to
serve on Barr who had left the village
and had gone out to Andrew Clemmon's
place. Quite a number of the young
men accompanied the constable on his
trip but when they approached the
house they were ordered away and were
told that if they did not go they would
get shot But finally they managed to
get to the door of the house and were
told that Barr was not there. Constable
Hodge taking Clemmon's word to that
effect left and came to town, but the
young men lay in ambush and waited
until Marshal Kruger arrived, who with
one of the young men, entered the house
and found the man that was wanted.
He was Immediately taken to the vii
lage bastile and was obliged to stay
there until Monday morning when he
was given hearing before Justice Pease
and was bound over to await the action
Of the higher court. County Attorney
Bulls was notified to appear for the
state but on account of other business
ne could not come but he sent Attor-
ley Schnorenberg in his place. L. M.

OTHER COMPANIES PAID.
Some of The Brice Stockholders Get
Bio Dividends.
From SaturdaY's Daily.

from saturdays Ddlly.
While the stockholders of the Star Pc
troleum company are receiving a little
over one per cent on the money they in
vested, in return for their stock, other
Brice companies are not SO unfortunate.
A while ago one of them paid ten per
cent month for three months, and now
comes the following from the Winnie
bago City Press-News.
The Oil Reporter, pu6nshed at Beau
mont, Texas, of a recent date, states
one oil company, of which w. E. Brice
is president, has declared a dividend of
SO per cent. This seems strange Why
the Star Petroleum should go broke and
another company with Mr.. Brice as its
president be able to declare such a
magnificent dividend has not been ex-
planned as yet. The general concensus
of opinion in this neck of woods is that
there is good sized African in this oil
wood pile, and that one w. e. Brice has
played the "foxy grandpa" act to per-
festion.
A. E. Clark when shown the above,
expressed doubt as to it's accuracy.
A Mankato man who invested $500
in the oil stock of the Star Petroleum
company has received a check for $50,
as his share of the assets of the COM
pany.

and that he had been honest in his de-
cisions. He knew that he could not
please all, but wanted them to under
stand that he had done what he con-
sidered fair.
Cords friends swarmed on the
stage and congratulated him and the
referee. A number of st. Clair people
and residents from that section were
present.
The match was for $50 and portion
of the gate receipts. 1t concluded at
1885. Considering the fact that both
contestants were amateurs they did re-
markably WELL They showed remarkable
endurance and much skill and proved
that they are about as evenly matched
as it is possible for two wrestlers to
be. 1t is to be regretted that any con-
troversy should have arisen over the
decisions of the referee. The entertain
ment as whole was satisfactory.

GREAT SNAKES.
The Remarkable Story Printed BY The
Brainerd Dispatch.

From Saturdays Daily.
This is what The Brainerd Dispatch
springs upon the public: "Now get ready
Mr.. Skeptic, old boy, with hammer and
tong, and revel for a moment while you
pillow through the following dissertation
on snakes: j. R. Britton, a well known
drayman who owns forty or so near the
fair grounds, day before yesterday
found four live snakes on top of the
snow in one of his fields. They were the
common garter snakes and from general
appearance it would seem as though a
weasel had pulled them from their winter
resorts where they were alternating.
The find attracted so much attention
that a visit was made to the scene
again yesterday afternoon and four
more snakes were found. Now the in
formant states positively that he has
not been drinking anything stronger
than ice water for several months and
hence the story ought to be given some
credence. If the snakes had been found
somewhere within the fire limits there
would be no question but that some one
had taken more than his share of the
good old fighting stuff and saw through a
glass darkly, but as it was the snakes
were seen out there about two miles
from town by good honest farmer who
was never known to tell ie."

IT'S Different IN TOWN.
Why a Retired Farmer Wanted to Go
Back to His Old Home.
Ern,,, Er,dou,c I1oilu
From Fridays Daily.

A farmer up at Cannon Falls retired
days ago met the editor of the local
paper, and, among other things said:
"I don't know as like the town as well
as | do the farm, and [ have a notion
to move back there. The other morn
ing my wife sent to the market for a
slice of beefsteak for breakfast. 1t was
only quarter and we discussed it at the
table as fairly good eating. Then my
wife said we must have few potatoes
for dinner and | started for the store
and bought whole bushel. / gave the
clerk dollar and he gave me back two
little dimes with the remark that po
toes were eighty cents a bushel. This
Jared me a little but [ took my medi
cine and went home only to find that a
chicken was wanted for dinner Well, 1
went to the butcher shop and got one of
those pin feathered blue things, threw
down half dollar and got nickel back.
Goodness me, that was awful. At this
rate it will cost me five dollars a day to
live here, said to myself, and 1 shall 60
bankrupt in just nine months or mort
gage the farm. With butter twenty
seven cents pound and eggs twenty five
cents dozen and other things according
ly a retired farmer must have a regular
Rockefeller income. The thing of paying
money for honey and every little thing
we eat keeps me running to the bank for
money every day, and | don't like it,
Out on the farm we have nearly every
thing in meats, vegetables, fruit and
honey, eggs and butter and it all seems
as free as the water we pump from the
well. Another thing, we don't have the
comforts of country life. With the
rural mail service and telephone connec-
tons I believe the farm is much the bet
ter place to live, whether one works the
farm or not, and the practice of farm
ers moving into town is a mistake, un
less they have some business or occupa-
ton to absorb their attention, which
seems to me the only way to make city
life endurable. I see plainly now that
[ will either have to do something or

bravely aimed the weapon at mark,

without stopping to calculate the posi-

of the breech, instead of the muzzle, of
the shooting iron. Alfred got most of
