Mankato Spectators Stand to Lose
S1,7OO,

The losses. in Mankato due to the
failure of the Coe Commission company
will not be heavy, as the business of the
company at this point has been light
during the past month. 1t is estimated
that the liabilities of the branch office
at the time of closing were $l,700, of
which $1,000 was profits. The Nicol-
let office transacted its business
through the Mankato office, and its
liabilities were 5000.
One professional man of this city was
an especially heavy loser, but it is UNI
derstood to have been largely profits
that he was shorn of.
The liabilities of the company are
said to be 100000.

to regular examination by the public
examiner. According to the wording
of Senator Eberhart's bill, no person

sons engaged in the banking business
but not under the supervision of the
public examiner shall have the privi-
lege of using the word "bank'' on
any 6f it's stationery or on signs or in

the two interesting and thrilling
lectures by Mrs. LaSalle Corbett
Pickett. widow of the gallant con-
federa,e genera who made the
famous charge at Gettysburg. This
brilliant woman was, at the age OF
seventeen, an eye witness to the
three days fight and her eloquent
descriptions of that terrible battle
will prove particularly interesting
to all those who on either side, in
blue or gray, stood in battle array
in those brave days of old.
There will be several new and i'm
portant features this year that will
prove attractive to the old soldiers
and the public generally. The
Clark family of eight talented per-

new patriotic. humorous and senti-

ANOTHER DROWNING.
Terry Wade Meets Death In Spring
River at This Place.

On Tuesday of this week phone
message from the planning mill an
nounced the drowning of Terry
Wade, which occurred a few mo-
ments after II just above the dam.
At once rescue party was formed
to aid the planning mill boys, who
at once began searching for the
body. 1t was recovered in about
thirty minutes about 30 feet below
where Terry disappeared. Frank
Phillips found the body with pole.
The body was taken out on the
bank and a desperate effort made to
bring back the life that had gone
out. Every resource known was re-
sorted to, but all efforts were in
vain. The body was taken to the
undertaken parlors of Harvey, and
prepared for burial, afterwhich ii
was taken the home of the mother
in the Third ward.
Terry had gone to the river with
frankie Perkins to swim. The boys
started out to one of the bridge
piers, and frankie made it all right
but when only few feet from the
pier Terry called for help. frankie
was too badly frightened to aid
him, however, and probably if he
had he also would have drowned
It is supposed Terry was sliced
with cramps, az he was considered
a very good swimmer.
Terry Wade was a good boy, and
was fitting himself for a business
career. He had attended a couple
of terms of the Webb City Business
College, and during vacation wac

ILLEGAL CONVICTION
KUPFERBERG'S PLEA
Sentenced for Conspiracy, He Seeks
His Liberty Through Writ Of
Habeas Corpus.

Samuel Kupferberg, who, in his abb
senee from the court room three years
ago. was convicted in Criminal Court
No ? of conspiracy. and who, Friday
last, was sentenced by Justice Wright TO
four months Imprisonment in the work
house, is seeking his liberty through
habeas corpus proceedings.
He contends he was illegally convicted
because he was never called for arraign-
ment. and cid not plead to the indict-
ment against him. The matter came on
for hearing today before Chief Justice
-Clabaugh, who. after hearing argument
by Julius /. Peyser for Kupferberg, and
District Attorney Baker and Assistant
District Attorney Stuart Mcnamara
took, 1t under advisement.
kupferberg was indicted In August,
1901, jointly with Louis Semel. for at
tempting 20 practice a scheme to de-
fraud the Washington Railway and
Electric Company. In March, 1902,
Semel and kupferberg were called to
trial For some reason IT was post
poned from 10 q. IN. to u o'clock. At
that hour Kupferberg failed to appear,
and the court ordered his trial to be
proceeded with in his absence. The
against both him and Semel- The lat
ter was sentenced 70 Imprisonment for
six months in the District Jail, which
he served and was released.
The dockets of the court show that
Rupferberg was never arraigned, and
that he never pleaded to the indictment
against him.
