IN THE MINERAL FIELD
What the Miners Are Doing.

Some very fine specimens Of as.
bestos from the Evans creek district
are on display at the mining exhibit.
The samples show a FIVE or six inch
fibre which separates cleanly and
readily. The mineral is almost
white in color. Asbestos is no
rarity in Southern Oregon, but the
surface finds are generally of so short
a fibre as to be of little commercial
value. 1t is possible that develop
ment Of. the deposits might uncover
valuable bodies of the mineral in
many cases.

From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
Ira King, son of G. L. King, was as
saulted and badly pounded and choked
into insensibility late last night, and
the police are after his assailant. He
is employed at Worthington, but is in
Mankato on two weeks vacation, and
is taking the place of Mr.. Smith at
| Smith & Menton's restaurant while that
gentleman is taking few days trip to
Sioux City.
Mr.. King went on duty at twelve
O'Clock last night, and an hour later, a
stranger, believed to be a man named
H. w. Wilson, who is employed on the
Northwestern Telephone line work in
this city, entered the restaurant and had
lunch amounting to thirty five cents.
When he got through he waited at the
cigar counter to pay his bill, but King
was busy waiting on other customers
and did not come, although Wilson jim
gled his money. Wilson then walked
out, and King went after him and asked
him to pay the bill. Wilson returned
with him to the restaurant and paid the
bill, but complained of the delay that
King had caused him and, to use Kings
words, roasted the house" generally.
King talked back, and when Wilson said
that he had been kept waiting fifteen
minutes to pay his bill, King replied
by calling him liar. Then Wilson
struck King a heavy blow in the right
eye, knocking him down. King got up
pretty groggy and tried to make
swing at Wilson, when Wilson struck
him again and then threw him over some
stools and choked him until he lost
consciousness.
Another employee of the Northwestern
Telephone exchange on the line work,
named Gallagher, was present and pull
ed Wilson off of King, or the damage
done might have been much more SER
ious, as Wilson seemed to be beside him
self with rage. Wilson disappeared, and
King returned to consciousness in a !
short time. The police were notified
and went in search of Wilson and chas-
ed him across several lots and captured
Gallagher and one other man, but re-
leased them.
King was in bad shape, bleeding pro- |,
fusely, with one eye closed and his
nose badly swollen and discolored spots |
on his neck where Wilson's hands had i
clinched him in choking him. This
morning the county attorney granted
him warrant charging Wilson with as
sault in the third degree.
Wilson is believed to have driven to
st. Peter this morning, but the officers
expect to get him. He is said to be
larger and stronger man than King, who
is slender and not strong appearing
King states that Wilson did not wait at |
the cigar counter over thirty seconds be-
fore walking out.
Chief Donahue and Sheriff Williams
drove to ST. Peter this forenoon in
search of Wilson. Later, the man who
drove Wilson out of the city returned |
and reported that he had been to Eagle |
Lake, but as he came into the city |
through Dukes addition it is thought |
that he came from st. Peter. The DO |
lice believe that Wilson has been spirited |
away by friends.
