SUES THE DEEBACHS.
Attorney James Schoonmaker Wants
$4,000 Of Their Money.

When July 3 came around the next
the calendar, the Glorious Fourth, a
day when every patriotic citizen would
wish to appear clean shaved and in an
exalted condition of unselfsh patriot
ism.
So it fell out that James SchoOnmak-
er, attorney and counsellor at law, call
ed at the barber emporium of Deebach
Brothers, at that time in the Ryan ho-
tel, on Robert street.
That visit gave rise to the allegations
now embodied in a suit brought in the
district court by Counselor Shoemaker,
through his attorney, Ross Clarke,
against Deebach Brothers.
Mr.. Schoonmaker tells, in his complaint
that as he assumed the horizontal po-
sition in the chair of the barber, OF the
BARRIERS chair. that individual not only
commenced talking to him, but talking
in a manner that constituted an assault
for which damages of $4,000 are due
from the Messrs. Deebach Brothers,
whom he makes defendants, because
they knowingly, as he says, employed
such barber, so given to the practice
of Feasibility.
This barber, whose name is given as
John Doe, because his true name is not
at hand, said some very dirty words to
Mr. Schoonmaker, words that it would
not be possible to print without bring
ing ragged hole in the virtuous white
paper.
John Doe told Mr.. Schoonmaker
among other more harmful things, that
he was the man who had charged Doe
with stealing his pocketbook, and said
that Shoemaker was a lying ---- :

The clergyman performing the cere-
mony was Rev. S. McAfinis, of the Bap-
fist church, and the service was witness
ed by but a small circle of relatives of
the contracting parties. A notable cir
cumstance was the presence at the we'd
ding of the four grandparents of the
bride, Mr.. and Mrs. Argetsinger, of this
city, and Mr.. and Mrs. Bowman, of Ma
pleton, Minnesota. The groom's moth
er. Mrs. Sherman. was among those pres
ent from outside the city.
Robert Helf, the sixteen year old
grandson of John Delgeman of this vii
lage, was taken to the hospital at Man
kato, Monday, for treatment. About
seven weeks ago he had his leg broken
in runaway, and the bones do not seem
to unite.-Madison Lake Tribune.

From FRIDAY 8 Daily.
Mrs. A. d. Hough, living four miles
out from the city on the Tivoli road
this morning called at The Free Press
office and presented the editor with a
magnificent sample of the sweet corn
that was raised on her place Among the
many beautiful ears, there was one
freak that excited more interest than
the normal corn. This was a bunch OF
several ears growing on one stem just
like so many bananas. 1t was indeed a
strange product of one of Natures

FINDS RELIEF ON THE PILOT.
Reason Why Mysterious Stranger
Rides on Engine Front.

Sioux City, Sept. 3.-For weeks re-
ports have been received of mysterious
stranger who has been riding through
Minnesota, Dakota, Iowa and Nebraska
on the pilot of a railroad engine, to
which he tied himself when no one was
looking The mystery was solved today.
Feeling an epileptic fit coming on at
Plainview, Neb., the man begged to be
allowed to tie himself on the cowcatch-
er of an engine. He says he can find
relief from epilepsy in no other way;
but that after riding fifty to hundred
miles on an engine he has a few days of
peace.

The above dispatch evidently refers
to the fellow who rode into Mankato
one night three weeks ago strapped to
the pilot of an engine. His name is
