FATALITIES INCREASE.
Deaths From Accidents Grow During
the Past Six Months.


The percentage of fatal accidents in
factories, mills and workshops in Min
nesota is increasing to rather remark
able extent, according to report issu,
ed yesterday by Labor Commissioner
w. H. Williams, covering the accidents
of the last six months.
Mr.. Williams reports that 439 acci-
dents occurred during the six months,
and that of these forty-one, nearly 10
per cent, were fatal. The percentage of
fatal accidents in 1904 was 6O2 per
cent.
No reason is known for the increase
in fatalities, and an investigation will
probably be made. One of the objects
of receiving reports on accidents is to
enable the bureau to keep in touch
with conditions in the factories, mills
and workshops and to ascertain wheth-
er the laws of the state regarding the
safeguarding of machinery are complied
with.

EXPENSIVE CROSSING.
Milwaukee Road Not Inclined to
Stand For Much.

From Fridays Daily.
The county board met yesterday with
Roadmaster Hines of the Milwaukee
road at the Milwaukee crossing one mile
north of Rapidan station and discussed
the building OF an overhead crossing
there Mr. Hines intimated that the
road would do little toward the con-
struction of the crossing, but not a
great deal.
The crossing will be an expensive one,
as culvert over a creek will have to be
built, seventyfve feet long, and much
other work. The county commissioners
feel that the Milwaukee road is Jointly
interested in making the crossing a
safe one, and that it should stand a
large part of the expense. No decision
has been reached yet.
The crossing is on the main road from
this city to Rapidan, Good Thunder and
Mapleton, via the Jones ford bridge
Three or four of the commissioners
went to Minneopa Falls, on the way
back, and spent the afternoon there.
They had not seen the falls for some
years.

HUNT FOR A LOST MINE.
The Expedition Is to be Led by q
Woman.

Chicago, Aug. PA dispatch to the
Record Herald from Salt Lake City,
Utah, says:
Led by woman, party organized to
enough gold to pay the national debt,
left this city yesterday for the Uintah
Indian reservation. The search is for
the famous "Rhodes Lost Nine" and the
widow of Caleb Rhodes, its discoverer,
declares her husband told her on his
deathbed the secret of its location. 1t is
regarded as certain that such mine ex-
lists.
For many years Caleb Rhodes lived
luxuriously from the proceeds of secret
trips to extract from the mine some of
its fabulous golden treasure. How he
discovered it never was learned. Each
time he went away empty handed and
returned with quantity of gold. When
he needed more he disappeared again.
NO one ever WAS dDlc 10 IOllOW Hllu VI
learn of thelocation of his treasure trove.
Mrs. Rhodes is confident she can lead
the searchers to the spot and show them
the most valuable gold mine discovered
on this continent.
The opening of the Uintah reservation
makes it possible for Mrs. Rhodes to 90
to the mine and obtain government
patent on the claim. In the party are
Thomas Rhodes, brother of the discover
er; Joseph R. Sharp, mine foreman,
and DR.. A. w. Dowde, on Sunnyside.
Rhodes story of his mine are corrob-
grated by +. C.. Hathenbruck, of Provo,
who declares he has been to the spot,
having been taken there blindfolded sew
eral years ago by Rhodes.

MINNESOTA FRIDAY SEPTEMBER I.

in four months was promoted to head
manager of the store Sat salary of
$3.50 per month. In January, 1868, he
went back to New York intending to
enlist in the Union army, but was pros
trated by severe attack of pneu
monia on the journey which rendered
him unfit for military duty. He now
engaged in tobacco culture for two years
at Sidney Plains, New York.
April 9th, 1863, he married May E.,
daughter of Harvey w. Cook of his ma
tive village. In the fal of 1866, he
removed to CORY, Pa, and engaged in
the grocery business, which proved a
very profitable venture. Starting with
capital of less than $1,000, in four
wears he had cleared $4,000. In 1870
MIR. Hubbard went again to California
intending to start bank, but the condi-
tions not being as favorable as he ex-
pected, he returned and after spending
some time looking the country over, he
finally located at Mankato. Here he
built warehouse and engaged in the
wheat buying business until March,
1872, when in company with j. A. Will

Mankato Girl.

FROM fTl0dy ) Daily.
DIR. Bruce Garrett, who married Miss
Hattie Graham, daughter of John
Graham of this city, died at Salt Lake
City. One of the newspapers in that
city referred to Mr. Garrett as follows:
''After many years of quiet suffer
ing DR.. Bruce Garrett has gone to his
rest. He was a native of Indiana and
was fortyfour years of age June Goth

plication of ailments, aided by COM

unutterable anguish. Some years ago
he lost boy, the lad being an especial
ly bright little chap, and that incident
seemed to affect him greatly, as he was
not the same afterward. He leaves
loving wife to mourn his loss. The fu-
neral services were largely attended.
Peace to the old boys ashes, for he de-
serves it after enduring as he has en-

JORDAN SAYS HE is INJURED
AssaiIant of Attorney Thompson Con-
fined to His Home.

From Wednesdays Daily.
Albert Jordan, the man who made
such a brutal assault upon Attorney
Charles Thompson, is out on $500 bail
and his hearing will be had at Winnie
bago City on Sept. IL.
Jordan is said to be confined to his
home in Winnebago, having been injur-
ed in the melee which occurred in his
blacksmith shop on Saturday last. But
to what extent small man like
Thompson could injure a powerful fell
low like Jordan is one of the questions
people are asking themselves.
1t is said that when Thompson en-
tered the blacksmith shop, after hav-
ing been inveigled there by one of Win
nebago's town characters, who was act
ing for Jordan, several men took their
departure, leaving no one in the place
but Jordan and his victim Thompson
was badly used up by his assailant.
Jordan formerly lived at Amboy and
moved to Winnebago City about five OF
six weeks ago.

Makes Third and Fourth Efforts
to StrangIe Himself.
He Nearly "ShuffIed' Off Dur
ing This Forenoon.
Says He Will Get Out of Jail
Or Go Under the Sod.
From Wednesdays Daily.

From Wednesdays Daily.
James Gallagher has made two more
attempts upon his own life at the coun-
ty Jail, making four in all since he was
committed there yesterday forenoon to
await the action of the grand jury in
his case in November. Between nine and
ten o'clock last night the other prisoners
in the corridor heard noise in his cell,
and rushing in they found him attempt
ing to strangle himself with a piece of
ticking torn from his bed. 1t was
tightly encircling his neck, and it too k
some effort to release it.
Sheriff Williams and Deputy Osten
spent the night by turns sitting in Gala
gher's cell to see that he did not again
attempt to make way with himself.
Along towards morning the man fell
asleep.
At about ten o'clock this forenoon
Gallagher nearly succeeded in ending his
career by strangling himself with his
sleeve holders. He tied them together
and made stout moose and had it so
tightly about his neck that it had to be
cut away.
Gallagher seems very despondent and
will not give reason for his acts. He
is very anxious to get out of the Jail
and stated this afternoon to The Free
Press that he would give all that he had
to get out and would then remain in the
city and get work. He said that he has
$63 and gold watch and would give
these outright. He said that he did not
want to remain in the jail until Novem-
Der, and unless he got out he would be
under the sod.
There is no prospect of Gallagher's
getting out any other way, so Sheriff
Williams is worrying for fear that he
will carry out his threat. Efforts to
cheer the young man up have failed,
and some think that he is in fear of de-
lection in connection with some greater
crime and for that reason has no hope
for the future. The other prisoners,
some of whom expect several years in
Saltwater, are all cheerful, and Gallagh-
er was so before he was given his hear
ing yesterday and bound over. He seems
to have expected his release.
Sheriff Williams has placed Gallagh-
er down stairs, where there are more
prisoners than on the second floor, and
one or two of them are watching him
all of the time. There are fifteen pris-
oners in the Jail at the present time.

HAS A CURIOSITY.
Rat With Long, Curvins Tusks is
Caught In a Trap.

From Fridays Daily.
Joseph Stahl has curiosity, which
he intends to present to the museum of
the state normal school. Last week he
caught young rat about half grown,
that had tusks that are something re-.
markable. The front lower teeth are
over an inch long and as sharp as
needles, and curve up over one side OF
the animals head. The front upper
teeth are also over an inch long and
curve around most peculiarly The ami
NAL had difficulty to get its tongue out
between these two pairs of tusks. Mr..
Stahl has preserved its head in a
bottle of alcohol.
The vicinity of the Stahl House is a
great place for rats. While they do
not invade the hotel, they are numerous
in the alley ond in the barns. Mr.. Stahl
wages constant war upon them, AID it
is scarcely morning that lie does not
have six or seven in his big trap. One
morning he found twenty nine crowded
into the trap.
In barn on Minnesota street the
rats are so thick that the horses are
robbed of their oats. When the horses
are fed the rats come trooring into the
barn and get into the oat boxes in the
hangers and bite the horses noses if
they go to eat. The rats fill themselves
and the horses have to stand back and
watch them.
Rats were so thick and ferocious in
Il cellar not block from the Stahl
House recently that the proprietor fear
ed to go there. There was nothing in
the cellar for the rats to eat. Any day
from four to six o'clock in the after
noon, the rats can be seen trooping
through the alley along North Front
street, and person going a block is
apt to see dozen, according to Mr..
Stahl Doors have to be kept closed
after 4 p. m. The small boys shoot
sparrows with their air guns, but they
do not seem to like to shoot the rats.

HEAVY RAINFALL.
Over Two Inches Comes Down In a
Short Time.


From Thursdays Daily.
The sultriness yesterday eliminated
in a severe thunder storm last evening.
The rainfall was unusually heavy, 2.l4
inches falling, the greater part of it in
less than an hour. The cutters in the
city were again flooded and the pavement
cleaned off nicely. No damage of any
consequence is reported.
In the country the storm was not
welcomed, as the ground had plenty of
moisture and the grain was just getting
dry enough after the previous rains to
thresh. There was little wind, and as
the grain is all stacked no damage was
done, unless lightning struck stack
here and there.
The heaviest rain occurred at about
one o'clock this morning.
The air was colled off by northwest
wind, and the temperature today has
been comfortable. The weather service
indicates that there is danger of light
frost tonight.

INTERIOR is FIREPROOF.
Insane Hospital at St. Peter Undergo.
ina Extensive improvement nts.

From Thursdays Daily.
The work of rebuilding the interior of
the st. Peter state hospital building is
hapidly nearing completion. The work
has been going for year, and on com
pletion will represent an investment of
$4,000.
The old central portion of the hospital
was built in 1868, and was not of fire.
proof construction. In the years inter
vening it has become old and dry, and,
with the indows necessarily covered with
heavy screening, the building would
have proved a veritable firetrap for the
thousand and more inmates if fire had
ever secured start.
In the remodeling the construction has
been made absolutely fireproof and the
old two-story auditorium is built over
into apartments, it not being needed be-
cause of the recent construction of a
new auditorium.

Circumstances Point to An Ef-
fort at Burglary.
But John eastman, the Victim
Looses Nothing.
James Gallagher Is Locked Up
On the Charge.
From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
What appears ia have been a bold
attempt at burglary was nipped in the
bud at the Commercial House this morn
ing, by the arrest of the party charged
with undertaking to commit the offense.
Shortly before twelve o'clock last night
a stranger giving the name of James
Gallagher got room at the hotel. One
of the regular roomers at the house is
John eastman, who works nights at the
knitting mills.
When eastman reached the hotel this
morning he had breakfast and read the
paper and then went to his room to 90
to bed He found a key in the outside
of the lock, and on attempting to enter
found someone holding the door knob on
the insile. He summoned Joseph Blatz-
helm, the proprietor, and then they went
into the room. They found Gallagher,
who claimed that he went in to look out
of the window, and later claimed that
he went in to look for the closet. He
had been told last night that the
closet was down stairs, so it was
thought strange that he should have en-
tered bedroom.
One of the bureau drawers was found
pulled ont and under the bed. This con-
tanned a ring and little money belong
ing to eastman. A watch belonging to
eastman had been lying upon the top of
pocket of an extra pair of trousers in
the room. The supposition of the Off
GERS is that Gallagher took the watch
and when he was discovered he slipped
it into the garment, and that he hastily
showed the drawer under the bed, having
taken it from the bureau.
Gallagher was taken into the sewing
room, and Mr.. Blatzheim watched him,
while eastman went to the police sta
tion and got Officer Lundberg. The lat
ter locked Gallagher up. The prisoner
is young fellow and says that he came
to Mankato last night. He states that
he has no home, but is a moulder by
trade. He had no money. The key
found in the door was skeleton key
that would unlock any mortice lock.
It was shortly after a. m. when
III
rooms were occupied by transients, and
as the doors of all of them were found
unlocked it is suspected by the police
that Gallagher went through them all,
but found nothing until he reached Mr.
Cashman's room.
Gallagher will be held until County
Attorney Wilson returns, when a war
rant will probably be prepared.
