MEMPHIS SHOES.
tn
Patentee Writes Edgar Weaver in Re.
card 10 Them.

From, Saturdays Daily.
Edgar Weaver received a letter today
from the person who holds the patent for
the Memphis horse shoe, saying that he
will follow the man, A. f. Barron, until
he has him prosecuted for obtaining
money under false pretenses in selling
the right to use the shoe when he had no
right to make the sales. The writer says
that he revoked Barron's power of at
torney a month before he came to Man
kato.
The writer states that he has organic
ed company and turned all matters
over to it. All licenses to sell the shoe
will be cancelled.
1t will be remembered that half a
dozen Mankato horsemen paid Barron
So each for the right to use the shoes,
Barron giving receipt for this as well
as for the Memphis Journal, containing
instructions as to how to use the shoes.
The local men very soon found that
they could not use the shoes to advant-
age and discarded them. The shoes are
intended for harder track than is found
in this section of the country.

PLEASED THE AUDIIkCE.
Concert Given Last Night at The Welsh
e. M. Church.
From Saturdays Daily

From Saturdays Daily.
Miss Clara Williams was clearly the
central figure in the concert given last
evening before an audience that filled
all the available space in the Welsh G.
NJ. church. Four vocal solos on the
program were sung by her besides sew
eral encores, the audience not once fail
ing to prolong the applause after each
rendition of her part on the program
until she reappeared, except after the
last number on the program when there
was no chance for an encore as every
body was rising to leave. For the en-
core to her soprano solo of Welsh
melody, she rendered a production in
which the notes of several well known
birds were so admirably initiated that
this was also encored.
Miss Jennie Hughes was on the pro-
Gilchrest entitled, Hearts Delight"
This resulted in the call for an encore
that was rendered in the same clear
sweet voice that delighted the hearers
before There was considerable regret
that Miss Hughes did not have another
number in the entertainment.
The double male quartette appeared
twice, thoroughly pleasing the people
both times. Their first number was a
sleeping song entitled "Until the Dawn D
by Parks, and was sung with such a
clear, soothing restfulness as might have
done credit to mother hushing her baby
off to slumber. The audience continued
the applause some time in the hopes of a
response, which, however, the gentlemen
had not prepared themselves to give.
Their second number, Bishops "The
Bloom is on the Rye" was equally sue
cessful The double quartette consist
ed as follows: w. r. Williams, Clement
Schroeder, Lester Davis, l. n. Griffith
John o. Parry, Jno. R. Thomas, A
Blissenbach and Evan Hughes.

Cornelia Mansfield, Mrs. F. X. Meagher

NARROWLY ESCAPED INJURY
John McHale, Teamster, Goes Down
With His Ice Wagon.
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
John McHale, teamster hauling ice
for f. E. Hidde, had narrow escape
from serious accident on the North
western railroad crossing on Spring
street this morning about nine O'Clock.
McHale was hauling load of ice from
Mud lake for the packing house and was
crossing these tracks when he saw he was
obliged to hurry to get out of the way
of an approaching switch engine. In the
haste he made the wagon was thrown
off the edge of the planking of the ad-
jacent tracks and weight of the load
caused the hub to crash through the
spokes, dumping ice and man in a heap
on the rails. The team and wagon,
however, were happily out of the way
of the switch engine, and no train hap
pened to be coming on the track on which
the wagon broke.

JUDSON BRIDGE MAT TER.
L. H. Johnson WILL APPEAR Before Two
County Boards.

From Saturdays Daily.
/. NJ. johnson, the Minneapolis bridge
man, would have appeared before the
county hoard at its special meeting yes
terday afternoon if he had known that
is was going to hold the meeting. He
wants to bring up the matter of the Jud-
son bridge. The way the matter stands
now, the townships of Judson and Mic
ollet have contracted with Mr.. Johnson
to build the bridge. The estimated cost
vas $4,000, but Mr.. johnson agrees to
build the bridge for $500, using wood
en- stringers instead of steel ones, but
punching the Orders so that steel
stringers can be put in at any time. He
is to hold the two townships for $4,000,
including the $4,000 appropriated by the
state to aid in the construction of the
bridge. 1t is also stipulated that work
is not to begin until there is $4,000 in
sight toward paying for the bridge. He
will 90 before the Blue Earth and Nicol-
let county boards and endeavor to have
each appropriate $4,000 toward the
bridge, and he will expect to raise the re-
mainder by private subscription or
through another appropriation from the
legislature.
The Blue Earth county board has al
raadv aoreed to stand half of the OK
pense of building the bridge above what
the state and townships have appro-
priated, on the basis of $4,000 bridge,
so it is not thought that it will refuse
to appropriate the $4,000 expected of it.
The Nicollet county board agreed to ap-
propriate $500, but it is thought that
it will be willing to raise the amount to
1000.

Scr His Money.
He Thinks BE Test $3.50 ia a Little
Game OF Cards.
Is Not Ceftlia When or How Il Got
Away From Him.
Consulis the City Officials About Get
ting II Back.
From Saturdays Daily.


A man from Wabasha county, who
has been in the city the greater part
of the week, a guest at the Saulpaugh,
has complained to the police that he
was done up TO the extent of $500 during
game of cards one night this week.
He thinks that it was during the card
game that he parted from his money,
but is not sure, as he states that he
does not know when he did lose it.
The gentleman was advised by the
police to consult the county attorney, as
they had no way of finding his money.
The man admitted that he had played
cards the night before and had won some
money. He has no recollection of when
or how the money left him, but thinks
it must have been while playing cards.
Three local parties were in the game.
The man who claims to have been
robbed still has plenty of money, APP
parently. His identity is being pre-
served by the officials, but he is said
to be a man well known in his own
county. The police do not doubt that
he lost the money that he claims to
have lost, as he is known to have dis
played the money. He is said to have
consulted several of the officials of the
Off oh ho l,,+ {ho
feeling among them seems to be that as
long as he was engaged in gambling when
the money was lost, he is not deserving
of great deal of sympathy, and that if
he thinks he knows who took it he should
get out a warrant.
County Attorney Wilson, when asked
whether any party had come to him
with complaint about the matter, re-
piled that one day this week stranger
called ON him and said that he had been
"up against the wrong proposition" and
had lost his money, bat was not able to
say how much. The man said that he
lost the money playing cards, but that
he was so drunk at the time that he
could not tell one card from another.
He wanted warrant for the arrest of
the parties with whom he had been play
ing, but the county attorney advised him
to 60 out and get some competent evil
dence, as the word of man who was
so drunk that he did not know one card
from another would not 60 very far The
man did not call again

HOGS GO UP.
Advance in The Market of Is Cents
Hundred To-Day.
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
Hogs took raise in the local mar
ket of twenty five cents a hundred this
morning. This advance was made by
Macbeth & Gardner, proprietors of the
packing house, and the price paid was
$3.50 and $4.6O live weight, according
to quality. The advance in the price is
partly due to stiffening of the market,
and partly to the fact that the packing
house has been unable to get enough
hogs in the local market to supply the
demand. 1t has shipped in eight carloads
of hogs during the past ten days.
Cattle have been quite low in price,
and there is no improvement as yet Cat
tie and hogs have been at the bottom of
the list of farm products this winter,
about everything else brings fair price,
at least.
The advance made in the price of hogs
should result in the farmers bringing in
large supplies, as more is being paid in
the local market than elsewhere.

BACK TAXES PAID.
County Treasurer Receives $4,000 on
Cement Works Properly.
From Friday's Daiiy

The Security company of Hartford,
Conn.,, has paid the back taxes on the
cement works property, amounting to
S., OO0 The most of the money was re-
ceived just before Jan. lst, but the
last was received today. The taxes
have been unpaid since 1888, and with
the costs and penalties have amounted to
the large sum which has been paid.
1t is understood that the reason that
the taxes have been paid at this time is
because the company is getting ready to
deed the property over to H. E. Carney,
who has contract for purchase, and who
has kept the payments up faithfully.

MUST REBUILD PIERS
County Board Gives CarIstrom Bros.
Thirty DAYS to Do II.
From Saturdays Daily.

CIOlu
The county board at its special meet
ing yesterday afternoon took steps to
have the piers for the new bridge in sec
ton II, Danville, rebuilt according to
the specifications.
The committee which visited the
bridge presented written report, in
which they said that they had found the
piers deficient as follows: ''The south
pier has not the required thickness, be-
ing only twenty four inches thick for
ten feet of the length in the middle Of
the pier and six feet in height, where
the plans call for thirty inches in thick
ness through the entire pier except the
wing walls. Some of the coping on both
piers consists of three cornered and scale
stone. The north pier has several poor
ly constructed points, meaning thereby
not sufficient lap"
The report was unanimously approx
ed One of the members of the firm was
present, but did not have a great deal
to say, except that he thought that the
work had been done reasonably near to
the requirements in the specifications
and that he considered the piers to be
solid.
The board voted to allow Carlstrom
Bros thirty days in which to make the
piers conform to the specifications there
for.
No other business was transacted.
County Surveyor Brooks states that
the masonry work can be done at this
time of the year in case hot water and
salt is used.
