FINDS LOST BOY.
Chief Donahue Learns That Alex
Joseph Is Working Near Grenada.

From Mondays Daily.
Chief Donahte has succeeded in locat-
ing the younger son of Mr.. Joseph, the
Syrian from Sioux Falls who was in the
city couple of weeks ago looking for
his older son, who disappeared in Janu-
airy. The younger boy, ten years old,
disappeared two years ago and had never
been heard from.
This morning, Chief Donahue received
letter from Elroy Hill, farmer living
near Grenada, in Martin county, saying
that two years ago ten year old Sy-
rian boy named Alex Joseph came to his
farm and worked for him for year and
half, and is now working for neigh
Dor. The lad said that he had come
from Sioux Falls, where he had an uncle
living. He is working for farmer and
going to school.
Chief Donahue notified Joseph Bashara
of the finding of the boy, and the latter
said that he would telephone to the boys
father. The officers think that it would
be better for the boy to be left on the
farm, to go to school. Papers in Mar
tin county copied The Free Press write
up of the loss of the two boys, and it
may be that Alex was located in this
way, as anyone knowing the whereabouts
of the boys was asked to write to Chief
Donahue.

POAT00N GOES OUT.
St. Peter Business Men Oppose Re-
placing 1t With a Street Bridge.

From Fridays Daily.
The pontoon bridge between st. Peter
and Kasota went out last Sunday, and
it may be that it will not be restored
Two boats were torn out from the cen
ter of the bridge and the east side of the
bridge foated down stream. 1t is not
known what caused the boats to 60 out.
There is talk of new steel bridge,
but, as usual with any public improve
ment, there are many opposed to it. A
protest against it's construction was pre-
scented to the st. Peter council this
week. The protest rccites as reason
shat we deem the same unnecessary
and unwarranted, so long as the present
bridge across said river, now construct
ed, is in existence, by reason of increas-
ed and excessive taxation, that must nee
essarily result therefrom." The protest
bears the names of thirty-seven bust
ness men, including some of the lead
ing merchants, manufacturers, profess
sional men and shippers.

CARSON Is ARRESTED.
Is Charged With Firing the Big Mill
at Fairfax.

From Mondays Daily.
At the Calumet this evening is Detec-
tive T. j. Coleman of Minneapolis, hav-
ing in charge prisoner in the person of
one Huey Carson, wanted at Fairfax,
Renville county, Mimi, on charge of
arson.
Carson is accused of having set fire to
and burning on Feb. 4th, 1904, the large
mill and elevator at Fairfax owned by
the firm of Nichols & Lieford, the prop
erty being valued at $4,000. Suspicion
was directed to Carson soon after the
fire, and the situation became so warm
that he left the place upon the advice
of his friends. 1t is said that he had a
spite against MIR. Nichols, of the grain
firm, and it is on this account that he
is believed to have set the fire.
Carson was arrested this morning at
Elkton, S. D., by Detective Coleman, to
whom he has since made such admissions,
that the officer feels quite confident that
he has the man guilty CT the act of arson
above mentioned The prisoner will be
arraigned on charge of arson in the
first degree.
Carson left Fairfax April Sd, and has
led Detective Coleman merry chase.
The officer followed the fugitive to Cold
Camp, Mo-, thence on circuit OF the
following places: Sioux City, Kansas
City, Ccurc;i Bluffs, Plpestone, Cazenovia
.nd EiKton.
Detective Ccle.:an reached Pipestone
last night, and enlisted the help of local
officers whom he compliments very
highly on the spirit they showed in the
matter and the assistance offered him.
Special help was given by Officer
Nick Newcomer, who drove with the de-
tective to Cazenovia last night, and then
on to ElIlton, where the arrest was made
at six o'clock this morning.
A number of local parties recall having
seen Carson around here Pipestone

PLAY THEIR PARTS WELL
Excalibur Club Members Present a
Fine Play Last Night.
"cOoI COIIegians' Makes Decided
HitWith Big Audience.
Several Boys Act Very Nicely the
Characters of Girls.
Entertainment Proves a Success From
Every View Point.
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
Three hundred at least gathered in the
Sunday school room of the Presbyterian
church to see the performance of the
amusing little farce comedy, "Cool Col
legians," presented by the boys of the
Excalibur club. The seats down stairs
were all filled and there was quite an
assemblage in the gallery.
The young ladies of the audience en-
joyed the play more than anybody else
Most of them knew everyone of the boys
in the cast, and were tickled beyond
measure at seeing those that were so
familiar to them, clad in female attire,
and with wigs and hats of the same
sex. When "Fanny Morrison" alias
Edwin Halves, took off her hat, removing
the hat pin, and holding the same be-
tween her lips in a style that would
have done credit to a real girl, the ladies
,of the audience laughed in genuine ap-
probation.
George Rodman, as '.Mrs. Huntoon,
Fred's aunt" was clearly the strongest
in the cast. Her voice and manner had
been trained to represent a gentle old
lady to perfection. Rob Randall had
succeeded in softening down his voice
to a tolerable degree in impersonating
''Mollie wainwright" Spencer Griffith, as
'sKate, pore work;r' girl" had the Hi
5ernian brogue well mastered.
Don Black made an excellent coon,
"Muggins," whose blunders with love let
tiers and other missives cause no little
trouble and really constitute very
vital part of the plot.
Howard Hengstler and Milo Fox were
two young collegians, Erred Parks" and
Harry Meredith" the main characters
of the drama. Howard Hengstler had
complete self possession that stood him
in very sccd stead in representing 2
character wherein GOODNESS" was the
predominant trait.
The effect of the whole performance
was further enhanced by five electric in
candescents, which James Swan arrang-
ed at proper intervals as footlights. Be
tween the first and second acts the audi
ence was delightfully."- entertained by an
instrumental duet, rendered by Mis-
Miranda Bottomley at the piano and
Archie Fletcher with a cOrnet. The
play closed with a characteristic song
about all being ''good fellows" accom-
,1panied at the piano by Mrs. H. A. Pat
terson.
The complete success of the enter
tainment reflects especial credit upon
Mrs. Patterson, who had been drilling the
boys night after night in their re-
spective parts. The rendition of the
whole play was under her management
from start to finish, and what the boys
accomplished was altogether in carrying
ont her directions

REDUCED RATE PROMISED.
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
Round trip railroad rates at less than
ordinary fare each way were promised
to the WccI1ien committee for the pic
mic of June on the Omaha system to
and from Mankato, by the travelling pas
senger agent of the road, Roy. j. Lee
of st. Paul. All the propositions that
Mr.. Lee made in the arrangements of
various details were highly satisfactory
to the committee. This probably means
equally low rates on all the roads run
ming into Mankato on the picnic day.

How c. S. Thurston Paid for His Own
Corn and Water.

FROM OaCurudyS Dahy.
c. S. Thurston of Judson recently
had occasion to pay for his own corn
and water the price of so many pounds
of live pork. A man had brought some
hogs to sell to Mr.. Thurston, and, find
ing the latter not at hand to wait upon
him for time, he improved the opportu-
nifty of feeding the hogs upon Mr.. Thurs
toms corn, and filling them with all the
water they could hold, enormously in
creasing their weight without adding in
the least to their value. Mr.. Thurston,
ignorant of the trick that had been play
ed upon him, weighed the well-filled
hogs, and paid the full price for every
pound.

applause. Joseph Cotton Of Mime
sofa was the next speaker called upon.
He was one speaker whose voice could
be heard in the remotest corners of the
hall and for this reason he was cheered
by galleries repeatedly. He was fol-
lowed by Cummings, the colored dele

A real ovation was given Cum
