GRANTED A NEW TRIAL.
n. Burton Strait to Again Have a
Day in Court.

n. Burton Strait to Again Have a
Day in Court.
From Mondays Daily.
Judge Quinn has filed at Glencoe an or
der granting Fl. Burton Strait, who was
found guilty of receiving deposit in
the Scott County bank at Jordan, Mimi,
of which he was president, when the
bank was insolvent, new trial.
The grounds for the order are that the
court erred in the admission of GER
tain evidence, and that there was not
sufficient evidence to sustain the verdict
the court found that the depletion of the
bank funds was caused largely by the
failure of other banks in the vicinity;
that the banks books were accurately
kept and showed its true condition; that
the proof fell short of showing insol-
vency, and that all the evidence indicated
the honesty of Straits intentions and ac-
lions. Attorneys for the defense were
G.. R. Fowler, T. H. Croker and II. J.
Pesk.
Mr.. Strait is a resident of Minneap-
oils and a son of the late Congressman
Strait of Shakopee.

STATE WILL BUY HEAVILY.
Minnesota's Institutions Must Be
Well Stocked Up.
From Mondav's Daily

Minnesota's Institutions Must Be
Well Stocked Up.
From Mondays Daily.
Proposals for the furnishing of sup
plies for the state institutions for the
quarter beginning Aug. will be received
by the board of control, and it is esti-
mated that the board will award con-
tracts for supplies for the wards of the
state approximating $4,000.
The quarterly contracts usually en-
tered into by the board amount to about
$l25,00O, but as the quarter about to be-
gin is the first quarter of the states
fiscal year, the board has advertised for
a years supply of canned goods, drugs
and a number of other staple articles
commonly used in the state institutions
and in which there is no danger of loss
by carrying a years supply in stock.
The board will contract for canned
goods by the carload, for great quantities
of canned corn, tomatoes, peas, beans,
peaches, apples, plums and other staple
articles used in the state institutions.
The yearly supply of drugs for the
hospitals for the insane, the prisons and
semi charitable institutions win be
bought at this time, and this supply
costs several thousands of dollars.
The award of the contracts for sup
plies for state institutions means vast
deal of work for the state dairy and
food commission, for the experts of the
commission are required to make analy-
sis of many of the articles submitted
by sample and then to make analysis of
the actual goods purchased to deter
mine whether or not there conform to
the sample originally submitted.

EXPECT GOOD RESULTS.
Christian Church in Duluth Pleased
With Rev. ShelIenberger.
From Mondays Daily.

James X. Shellenberger, formerly of
Mankato, who has recently been appoint
ed pastor of the First Christian church
in this city, will take up work with his
new congregation Immediately. AL
though he has not been in the city for
several years, Rev. Shellenberger is well
known to large number of local peo-
pie, having preached here on several oc-
,casions.
In the fall of 1901 he held a successful
series of meetings in the local church and
ever since then attempts have been made
to induce him to come here The Man
kato church, however, was loath to lose
him, and it was only after many unsuc-
cessful attempts that he finally consent
ed to accept the invitation.
Rev. Mr.. Shellenberger has been con-
nected with the Mankato church for a
long time and proved himself capable
of performing great amount of good
with his work. The members of the
First Christian church in Duluth are con-
graduating themselves on having his ser
vices and anticipate marked results to
follow his entrance into the local field.
Rev. Mr.. Shellenberger will succeed
Rev. G. R. Sine who until recently was
pastor of the local church.-Duluth News

ROBERT HELLER MISSING.
His Family Is Left in Destitute Cir
cumstances.s
From Mondays Daily.


cumstances.i
From Mondays Daily.
Robert Heller has disappeared, and his
whereabouts are unknown. He is a mix
er of mortar and his family reside at
922 North Fourth street. He is about
forty years old, and has been steady
and never been away from home before
without having notified his family of
his intended departure. His son was one
of the two boys locked up at st. James
Friday and taken back to the reform
school yesterday, mention of which is
made in another column, and this work
ed upon his mind, and his wife believes
that it might have been the cause of his
going away.
Heller's family is in very poor eircum-
stances, living in a rented house. Mrs.
Heller is hard working woman, TAX
ing in washing, and helping to rear three
small children, younger than the boy
in the reform school She broke down
and sobbed when she told her story to
the police this morning in German, for she
can speak very little English.
Heller was last seen FRIDAY afternoon.
He had a job at the new Y. M. G. A.
building, and went to work as usual in
the morning. This was the last time that
his family saw him. His wife sent him
his dinner as usual, and the pail was
returned to the house and Heller drew his
weeks pay in the afternoon. Since then
no one has seen him. No one seems to
think that any accident has befallen
him. He did not drink much, and had no
trouble at home more than the little
spats that occur in most families.
Heller called at the police station
late Friday afternoon and paid forty
cents that he owned one of the patrol
men

REOPENING OF A CHURCH.
Methodists at Eagle Lake Consecrate
Edifice to God.
From MONDAYS Daily

Methodists at Eagle Lake Consecrate
Edifice to God.
From Mondays Daily.
The re-opening of the Methodist
church at Eagle Lake last week was an
event in the history of that pretty and
sprightly village. The remodeled edi-
fee is credit to not only the Metho-
dist denomination, but to the village as
well.
The, exercises were commenced Thurs
day evening with sermon by Presid-
ing Elder Clare. The Friday afternoon
services We're in charge of Rev. Shaw of
st. Peter.
That evening the ladies of the church
served supper in the basement, and real
lied $25.
The balance of the evening was 'devot-
ed to addresses by former pastors Of
the church.
At three o'clock Saturday review
work of the last general conference was
given by Rev. F. B. Cowgirl of Man
kato.
Sunday opened with love feast at
nine o'clock, and at ten o'clock Bishop
Isaac W. Joyce preached strong and
inspiring sermon.
In the evening Rev. Benjamin Longley
delivered sermon which was well re-
ceived.
Following the morning service $3.50
was raised. This sum puts the church
out of debt and will pay for the finish
ing of the building. In all about ST.
100 will be paid out on the building for
improvements.
Rev. Ramsey is the pastor.
The ladies of the church are deserving
of great praise for the happy manner in
which they cared for the visitors. Yes
terday all those from the country who
attended the exercises were entertained
by the ladies, and the meals were pre-
pared nicely.

WILL. BUILD INTO COUNTRY.
Interurban Trolley to Be Constructed,
So Ii Is Claimed.

SO IL 10 NicIfHSOs
From Mondays Daily.
1t is understood that the gentlemen
who are interested in the construction of
street car line in Mankato, will be will
ing to build on to Eagle Lake and thence
to st. Clair as soon as the city line
is completed and in thorough operation.
This fact ought certainly to be an in
centive to the people of Mankato to buy
bonds as an inturban line is bound to
pay, and will make the whole system an
excellent investment that will tend to
make the city grow very fast and can
not help developing the suburbs at an
enormous rate. When Mr.. Deegan was in
Mankato he declared that street car
line would soon double the city's present
population A car line running out into
the country would make the line all the
more desirable and would catch a
vast amount of patronage from the
city's lake lovers, who delight in seek
ing some cool rural retreat during the
hot summer months.

STREET CAR MEN WRITE.
They Will Build the Line When the
Bonds Are Taken.
From MONDAYS Daily


Bonds Are Taken.
From Mondays Daily.
H. E. Hance has received letter from
R. E. Lopez & Company of Philadelphia
the bonding concern that is back of the
street railway promoters, saying that it
will stand back of Mr.. Deegan in what
ever he proposes to do in Mankato, and
take the balance of the bonds, no matter
how much. He has also received let
ter from Mr.. Deegan, saying that as
soon as the $4,000 of bonds have been
subscribed for he will come to Mankato
and select a site for the power plant and
the street car barns. He said that the
power plant would be made large enough
to take care of any country extensions in
the future, even though they be forty
or fifty miles out. He said that in one
town where he had located car line, the
cost of the track, power plant and rolling
stock was $4,000 mile.
A meeting of the hardware dealers was
to have been held at the Elks club room

APOLOGIES FOR RUDENESS.
Young Fellow Who Insults a Lady
Gets into Trouble.
From MONDAYS Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
Saturday night Chief Donahue took
two young men to the police station on
complaint of young woman, who said
that one of them had insulted her on
Front street between the Saulpaugh and
the city hall. The lady was walking
south on the walk with a lady com
panion, and was passing two young men
and two young girls. One of the men
turned and spoke some insinuating words
to her. Upon reaching the city hall
she reported this to Mr.. Donahue, and
said that the same fellow had insulted
her the evening before in much the
same way.
Mr. Donahue asked her to return past
the quartet and see whether she was
spoken to again, and he would observe
the fellows actions. The young fellow
again spoke to her, and she struck him
with book that she was carrying. At
this the chief approached and took the
young men to the city hall, their com
panions disappearing.
The young man claimed that the
ladies had encouraged him. The chief
at once sent for the ladies and they
strongly denied this, and the young man
finally admitted that he had not told the
truth about the matter. He broke down
and cried and begged the pardon of the
young woman, who then, moved by his
tears, told the officer that she did not
care to prosecute the matter further.
Mr. Donahue gave the offenders lee
ture upon good manners, and allowed
them to go, they promising to act more
gentlemanly in the future.
1t is hoped that other young women, if
spoken to by strangers or insulted or
annoyed in any way, will report the mat
ter to the police at once. Any young man
who will so far lose his self respect as to
insult OF annoy ladies should feel the
hand of the law, and Chief Donahue
states that he will see that complaints
this kind receive prompt attention.

FINE TIMBER LAND.
Trip of a Free Press Man Into the
Northern Woods,
From Mondays Daily.

Trip of a Free Press Man Into the
Northern Woods,
From Mondays Daily.
A trip worth taking is one from Man
kato to Duluth and from Duluth to
Grand Rapids. The country from st.
Paul to Duluth, near the railroad, is
about all cleared of the best timber,
and settlers are commencing to clear
up farms. From Duluth to Grand Rap
ids person begins to find finely timber
ed land, and some good farms have al
ready been cleared up. A Free Press
man accompanied by Robert Lamm and
F. A. Kneeland recently made this trip
and enjoyed it greatly.
The first town of Importance is Cloquet
where one of the largest paper mills in
the west is located This makes a good
market for all of the spruce and poplar
timber, which is made into paper. There
are also seven saw mills located there,
that pay the highest price for saw logs.
The logs are fioated down the st. Louis
river and thus railroad charges are saw
ed.
The next place of Importance is Grand
Rapids, the county seat of Itasca coun-
ty. Here is one of the finest water pow
ers in the west. Grand Rapids also has
large paper mill and saw mills. A few
miles from this place is Hibbing, where
big iron ore mines are located. Thou
sands of tons of iron ore can be seen
there, in process of shipment by rail to
Duluth.
After ascertaining the great demand
for timber to keep the big mills running,
and the. steady and high prices paid for
all kinds of farm produce, we made an
investment in a few hundred acres of
land near Grand Rapids. We do not be-
ieve that an investment can be made up
in that section that will not turn out
to be a profitable one.
