From SATURDAYS Daily

Andrew p. Samuelson, brother of
John Semuelson, who committed sui

quarry, arrived in the city last evening
to attend the burial and settling up the
estate of the deceased. The brother is
a dairyman, living at st. Louis Park
on the outskirts of Minneapolis, and
appears to be very wellto-do. He was
accompanied by his wife.
The arrival of the brother necessitat-
ed change in the funeral arrange
ments. The services will be held at
three o'clock tomorrow afternoon at
Lamm & Landowners undertaking par
Tor. The remains will be taken to the
family burying ground at Minneapolis
for interment.
The deceased was never married and
his only relatives are this brother and
two sisters, Mrs. Christina Carlson and
Miss Carolina Samuelson, both of Swed-
en-, their nome being about thirty Swed-
ish miles from Stockholm. 1t may be
that Miss Samuelson is not living She
was long an invalid and had received
much help from her brothers and mar
ried sister.
In the trunk of John Samuelson at
the Peterson residence at the quarry
were found cash and certified checks to
the amount of $l,930. He also owned
two farms in Cass county. 1t is thought
that an incurable illness induced the

Redwood Falls All Torn Up Over Dan
Cupid's Work.

Redwood Falls, Mimi, May 6.-James
Montague employed as driver for the
local bus line, and Miss Leila Mckay,
the seventeen year-old daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. w. S. Mckay, have been miss
ing since Tuesday afternoon, and it is
supposed that they have eloped. The
couple had been keeping company for
some months, but the girls parents
objected. Tuesday forenoon the girl at
tended school as usual That is the last
seen of her by her father.
Two weeks ago Montague, who had
been working steadily for year and a
half, asked his employer for a two
weeks iay-off, beginning last Monday.
1t was granted. Tuesday morning Mon
tague took the morning train for Sleepy
Eye. He returned ON the afternoon
train, and was met at the depot by
Miss Mckay, who was accompanied by
a girl friend. Miss Mckay was dressed
in a new spring suit, and had bundle
under her arm. Montague and the two
girls boarded the train. A little later
Miss McKay's girl friend entered the
depot and bought ticket for Sleepy
Eye. Just as the train was pulling out
at five o'clock she left it, but Montague
and the Mckay girl remained aboard.
That is the last seen of them here.
Montague's employer believes the cou-
pie will return the latter part of the
week, as he did not take with him all
the money due him as wages. Mon,
tague's home is in Blue Earth City, and
it is thought tine couple went there. 1t

BEN MADE GET AWAY
Upper, An Inmate of the Coun-
ty Jail, Escapes.
He Was Held on a Charge of
Grand Larceny.
"Ducked'WhiIe RemovingAshes
from Heating Plant.
Deputy Unarmed; Had to Care
for Another Prisoner.
From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
This morning while Deputy Sheriff
Albert Gerlich mad two of the prisoners
at the county Jail out taking out ashes
from the heating plant, one of them
Ben Upper, bolted. Mr.. Gerlach was
unarmed and had to lock up the other
man before he could start pursuit.
This gave Upper considerable start
and he got out of sight.
As soon as the alarm was given,
Sheriff Williams, Deputy Sheriff Atchi-
son and others started in pursuit, and
a thorough search was made through
the city and adjacent country.
Tuper is the Madison Lake man who
was bound over to the grand jury some
time ago on the charge of stealing hides
from Julius Reinsburg. He had admit
ted the charge, and stood a good chance
of '.going over the road" His family,
consisting of his wife and six small
children, are living in this city.
County Attorney Wilson states that
he has several times advised that pris-
oners should not be taken out of the
county Jail for work or recreation. Tup-
per is not the first one to make a get-a-
way when such liberties nave been Civ
en-.
Upper will probably be captured. He
fled in the direction of the normal school
and on over the hills. Farmers said
they saw him beyond Prospect park.
People of the whole surrounding coun-
try have been notified by telephone of
the fugitive.
This morning the little daughter of
the fleeing man came to the police sta
ton with a written appeal for aid by her
mother. There are several small child
rem in the family. 1t seems that they
must subsist for time by charity
Up to this afternoon Upper had not
been located, and the search was being
prosecuted more industriously than
ever. Sheriff Williams noticed tire man
hiding in rayine a long distance away,
but he had disappeared before the
sheriff could reach there.

SEEKING A NEW TRIAL.
Nelson Boys, Convicted OF Numbering
Harry krier of Owatonna.

TDdTTy T\TiCF Ot SWdSOUuos
From Fridays Daily.
Owatonna, Mimi, May 5.-An effort
is being made to secure a new trial fol
Charles and Henry Nelson, who are now
serving life sentences at Saltwater fol
the murder of Harry H. Krier, on April
ID, 1903
Funds to defray the necessary ex-
pense have been subscribed by friends
of the Nelson family and those who be-
lieve the youths are not guilty. Fred
Hardwicke, detective, has been here
several days looking up new evidence
and claims to have found sufficient for
a new trial
The principal witness against the Mel
sons was William Sutton, who con-
fessed to the crime and accused them of
doing the killing. Sutton received a
life sentence and died at Saltwater. On
his deathbed he dictated statement
and it is alleged that his last words
were, 81 don't know anything about the
murder of Harry Krier. The Nelson
boys had nothing to do with it that !
know about" This, with entirely new
evidence which the detective says he has
discovered, but which is not divulged
will form the grounds in the motion for
new trial.
Mr. Krier was murdered on the Mil
waukee right ofway at a point about
a mile north of the city. The crime was
committed in broad daylight. The at
tempt to retry the case is causing much
feeling in Owatonna.

their vicinity, thus keeping the funds
nearer at home. Referring to the bank
examiner of this state, he stated in his
opinion that the time had arrived wher
the bank examiner should be a separate
office from the public examiner, giving
all its time to the examination OF
banks.

then called upon for brief statement
on the new arrangement entered into
by the Iowa bankers, relative to the

citation only and mad been the means of
bringing in seventyfive new members III
