LIE SUEUR CENTER Is ELATED
Prospects Of Another Railroad Make
People Feel Good.

From fridays DAILY.
lie Sueur Center is eated over the
prospects of II new railroad. The Lead
er says that readers will remember
that railroad was surveyed through
this village several years ago, and the
stakes are yet in evidence from south
to north through the west part of town.
Nothing farther was ever done, but we
understand now that jim Hill is back
of a new company to be known as the
Des Moines and Northern, and that a
road will be built on this survey. Rep
resentatives of the new company were
in Minneapolis last week arranging for
the right of-way into that city, and a
lengthy article concerning the proposed
road appeared in the Minneapolis Jour
nal, 1t appears that Hill is DESTROYS of
reaching Iowa coal fields and this would
be the most direct route to Des Moines,
the most prominent distributing point
1t would mean much to lie Sueur
Center should this road be built as it
would then give us competitive lines
and open the doors for factory. No
factory of any Importance will locate
in town with but one railroad, and
for that reason our people should do all
in their power to secure the line.

spent the time since working in the
smelters around Salt Lake City. He fin

w. H. Tompkins in a Runaway.

From Fridays Daily.
W. H. Tompkins, former resident of
this place, now residing at Springfield,
met with very painful injuries in run
away last week near Springfield. The
owner of a threshing rig was short of
help and asked Mr.. Tompkins for his
services for that day. He was hitching
his team to a straw wagon when the
whistle of the engine blew, causing the
team to run, and he being in between
the horses and wagon, was run over
by the wagon. His body was terribly
bruised and head cut. The doctor was
obliged to take several stitches in his
head to close the wound At this writ
ing Mr.. Tompkins is getting along as
we'll as can be expected and his many
friends here wish him speedy recov-
ery-Morgan Messenger.

Henry Davis went from Kasota to

names as James Ryan and John Cleary.
They are well dressed young fellows

money and spent it literally while they
had an opportunity to do SO.
Ryan was sentenced to thirty days at

Mrs. Teigum met death in very pc

strong and healthy. The sting proba-

CUTOFF WILL BE BUILT.
Good Thunder-Amboy Extension De-
scribed BY Mapleton Newspaper.

FROM FRIDAY DAILY.
The Mapeton Enterprise is in posses
sion of information which leads it to
say that there is little doubt of the
construction by the Chicago, Milwaukee,
& st. Paul road of what is known as
known as the Good Thunder Amboy
cut off. The survey has been made leav-
ing Good Thunder Just west of the
stock yards and running west in an air
line to Amboy, the distance by the new
survey being only nine miles. The new
line, however, is not to extend to Fair
mont or Welcome, as has been conf ec-
tured in order to connect with the
Spirit Lake line, but arrangements are
to be made with the Omaha line where
by the use of the Omaha track is secur-
ed from Amboy to Winnebago, dis
lance of nine miles. This making the
total distance from Winnebago to Good
Thunder only eighteen miles against
fifty-two by the way of Wells, it be-
ing twenty-seven miles from Winnie
bago to Wells and twenty five miles
from Wells to Good Thunder. This saw
ing of thirty four miles haul is an i'm
portant matter in the handling of all
the freight to the twin cities and it can
be put down that the cut off will be
built 1t may mean the building of a
little town in Sterling township, but is
doubtful, as the distance between sta
would be very limited

Near Blue Earth.
He Was Walking Along the
Track Last Night.

Hoped to Get Work.
Head Bruised and the Body
Taken to Elmore.

From Fridays Daily.
Travelling on foot along the Omaha
track last night between Blue Earth
and Elmore towards the latter city in
the hope of finding work in the early
morning hours on some farm, Ed Fos-
ter, boy of twenty, living near Blue
Earth. was struck and killed at about
the midnight hour, just as he had
reached Sullivan's Crossing, by the train
which is due at Elmore at 1920 a. m.
This crossing is three miles south of
Blue Earth. The boys head was fright
fully bruised, though he was not killed
outright. The body was conveyed to
Elmore on the same train, where it was
taken in charge by the coroner. The
mother of the unfortunate young man
resides at Blue Earth.
Foster was not killed outright but
lived for an hour and half after the
accident He breathed his last at Ell
more. where he was taken Immediately
after being hurt. On the advice of
County Attorney Bulls, the coroner de-
ductor of the train at first gave it out
that there was another party with Eos
ter at the time he was killed. and that
shat party disappeared. Later the con-
luctor discovered that this statement
was erroneous. Foster was d.lking
the track alone. The brother OF the
victim came to Elmore this morning
and identified the body.

Clever sWindler Secures a Few
thousand Dollars.
Was Just Like Picking Money
Up On The Street.
Evidently the Victim Does Not
Read Newspapers.

st. Cloud, Sept. Heart disease
came very near ending the life of Ed
ward Clifton of Sank Rapids, when he
opened a tin box at his house yesterday
and discovered that, instead of the box
containing $l7 800, it held only piece
of granite, and a note telling him that
he had been fool to put his trust in a
stranger.
Clifton is retired farmer, and had
been victimized by clever swindler
who impersonated c. NJ. Sprague, presi-
dent of the First National bank of Sank
Center. and chairman of the state board
of equalization. The stranger had
sought him out as a man of means, and
had even obtained directions as to his
residence from County Attorney John
A. Sem of Benton County.
On the preteXt that he desired to buy
one of Cliftons farms near Sank Rap
a scheme by which he was to make the
retired farmer suddenly rich. The mon
ey was to be deposited in IL tin box, the
stranger to put $4,000 in the box
against Clifton's $500. The swindler
volunteered to leave the box in Clifton's
care while he retained the key to guard
no
part of Clifton.
1t was tie - story. Clifton came
to st. Cloud sought out an old friend
who quickly indorsed his note for
$500. and easily obtained the money
in currency at the Merchants National
bank. The stranger provided Il team,
and they went into the country togeth-
er. The result was the agreement to
put the money in the box, and it was
safely hidden away in Clifton's barn.
The denouement came twenty four
hours later when John B. Pattison, son
of the man who had indorsed the note,
and young attorney of st. Cloud,
his belief that he had been buncoed
Even then the victim protested his
faith in the strangers honesty, but, UNI

opened the box. Nothing was found in
it but stone, to give it the weight
that so much currency would naturally

was told that he was equally guilty
with the swindler, as he had expected
to get something for nothing, and ad

for a country banker or retired sue
cessful merchant 1t is believed that
the crook is an old hand at the business
and has criminal record. Clifton is
unwilling to tell the local authorities
anything on which they can act, for he
admits he was fool and is pocleting
his loss without saying anything. He
is a man of moderate means and to paw
the note at the bank where he obtain
ed the money will take nearly all his
available assets. Only about year ago
a second retired farmer in the same
town gave up $500 to learn the secrets
of the electric belt business.
