KLE|MANN BOUND over
He is Held to Answer the Charge Of
Assault in the First Degree.
Andrew Anderson, Who Was Shot
Testifies Briefly.
From Mondays Daily.


Henry Kleimann had his preliminary
hearing in the municipal court this fore
noon, on the charge of assault in the
first degree in the shooting of Andrew
Anderson, of South Bend. County At
torney Wilson appeared for the state,
and Pau & Pau for the defendant.
Andrew Anderson was the first wit
ness sworn, and he said that he was in
vited to hleimann's and paid for the
beer, whIca was drunk during the after
noon. He returned to Ole Englund's,
where he was working, at five o'clock,
and did the chores, and went back to
Kleimann's at $50 o'clock, remaining
there until one o'clock in the morning,
eating oysters and drinking beer. Then
Kleimann went upstairs and soon came
down pointing his rife at Anderson, who
slammed the stairs door shut and held
it while the woman and children ran out
of the house. He was shot in the arm
while doing this, the defendant firing
three shots through the door.
Frank Kleimann, the young son of the
testified that he was in the
bedroom, when he heard his father go
upstairs and handle the rifle. He heard
the door slammed shut some little time
after his father had gone up. Then he
heard shots fired and saw flashes of
gun. He ran out then with the rest of
the family.
The testimony was very brief and no
cross examination was INDUCED in. The
state rested, and the defendant waived
further examination and was bound over
to the grand jury.
Tomorrow morning Kleimann's attor
neys will apply to Judge Cray to fix
the amount of bail bond, and this will
be given. A bond to keep the peace may
also be required, and will also be given.
A number of Kleimann's neighbors will
sign his bond. 1t is said that as many
as twenty-five have volunteered to do
so. Several came to the city today
to sign the bond, thinking that they
could do so. There seems to be con-
siderable feeling in his favor.

RURAL ROUTES IN MINI.
Nearly Eight Hundred Are Now in
Operation in the State.
They Are Limited Only BY the APP
preparations Available.
From Wednesdays Daily.

From Wednesdays Daily.
The records of the rural free delivery
division of the postoffice department at
Washington show l,243 applications for
the establishment of rural routes in Min
nesota. Of these, 76l have been report
ed on favorably and routes have been es-
tablished or will be established by Feb.
l. One hundred and seventeen applica-
lions were reported on adversely, some
because there were not enough families
on the proposed routes, others because
the roads were not suitable for the SER
vice, and still others because other con-
ditions imposed by the department were
not complied with.
Applications for the establishment of
365 additional routes in Minnesota are
now on file at the department, and it is
expected that they will be disposed of by
the special agents during the current
year, provided congress places at the
disposal of the department all the money
it has asked for.
The appropriation for the current
fiscal year was $l2,62l, 700, but that has
been exhausted and deficiency appro-
priation will have to be made for the es-
tablishment of new routes between now
and July LIST, when the appropriation for
the next fiscal year becomes available
Postmaster General Payne has asked
SIS, 7S5, 400 for the rural mail service for
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1906, and
there is little doubt that he'll get it, such
is the pressure on the congressman for
the extension of the service.
There were 2O,3S2 rural routes in
operation in all parts of the country on
Dec. 10, and about 1900 ordered estab-
lished between that date and Feb.
Minnesota, with its 76l routes has its
proportions of this popular service, and
with a continuation of the good work
by the delegation, it is probable that
within a comparatively short time it
will be extended to all parts of the
state, where practicable.
Following are tables showing the dis
tribution of the service in the state by
congressional districts, routes establish
ed, applications pending and adverse re-
ports:

THEY DIDN'T GET MUCH.
Stockholders Share OF The Petroleum
Oil Company Dividend.
From TuesdaY's DaIy.

From Tuesdays Dahy.
One and one-ffth of cent on the
dollar is all that the stockholders in
the Star Petroleum company of Beau
mont, Texas, get out of the assets OF
the company, which are just being dis
tributed. The condition of the oil fields
in Texas led the board of directors at
a meeting held on Dec. IL last, to decide
to bore no more wells but to distribute
all the assets of the company and wind
UP the business. The capitalists OF
Mankato who invested about two and
half years ago in this oil enterprise put
in about 100000 in the aggregate. Now
they are getting back in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000.
