If Fight Against Exiradition
Fails, Then What?
An Attempt 10 End Life, Says a
Very Close Friend.
Daring Man Visited Mankato q
Year Ago Last April.
From MONDAYS Daily.

From Mondays Daily
IF A. A. Buck is not successful III
his fight against eXtradition, he will
take plunge in the ocean and drown
or do something else desperate rather
than be brought back to Mankato alive"
This is the way near friend of Buck
has the situation sized up. This friend
did not believe that Buck would be
brought back alive.
Sheriff Williams was expected to
leave Washington today for Havana.
Not a great deal of time will be con-
sumed in reaching the Cuban capital. He
will Immediately present his extradition
papers to the proper authorities and
then Bucks attorneys will raise an
issue against their being recognized.
Washington authorities claim that the
objections will not be sustained. There
are a great many people in Blue Earch
county who feel friendly toward Buck
notwithstanding his crooked deals while
employed in the Mapleton State bank
and should he be brought back to Man
kato for trial. he would not lack for
friends. Should he be convicted efforts
will be made immediately to procure
his pardon. There is a report to the
effect that during last winter Judge
Buck was planning to have his son come
to Mankato, plead guilty to the charge
against him, receive his sentence and at
once thereafter IA pardon was to be Sc
cured if possible Judge Buck had
some correspondence with Governor
Johnson relating to this matter. Gov
ernOr Johnson is said to have replied
that he could not discuss the matter
of issuing pardon until after convic
ton had been made
Alfred A. Buck is daring man. He
is not acquainted with fear. The fact
that he visited Mankato year ago
last April few months after his SEN
sational disappearance, is evidence
enough that he is filled with daring.
Buck was in Idaho a year ago last
spring and 1T became too sultry for him
there, so he started for the east He
drifted into Lake Crystal during the
night, and after remaining there all
day, he drove to AIankato, reaching
here about $3.50 in the evening. He
remained all of that night and during
the following day and at night time
he returned to Lake Crystal where he
took a train on the Omaha road for the
where he has been ever since Buck was
dressed up much after the fashion of
western cattleman, wore dark beard
and had he walked on Front street dur
ing the day, no one could have recog-
nized him, so changed was he in his
appearance. Several people of the city
saw and conversed with him while he
was in Mankato, but they never reveal
ed the secret of his visit.
Bucks reason for visiting Mankato
was to see his wife and boy to whom
he was very much attached.

He Talked Too Much.

Alderman Atchison told Mr. Austin
that he talked too much. After abus-
ing the members of the council, as he
had done. it was a great deal for him
to expect that anything should be done
by them for him. The best thing he
could do was to get a petition signed
by the property owners of that neigh
borhood. showing what hey wanted.
Then the council would be ready to act.
A motion was made that the petit
ton of Mr. Austin be placed on file.
Aldermen Hampl, Atchison and Mahow-
aid voted aye, and Wilmot. Hcinze and
Schroeder no. The mayor voted aye and
declared the motion carried

Look Out For Your Dogs.

Alderman Atchison called the atten-
ton of the council to the fact that the
board of review had removed dogs from
the assessment roll. He favored the en-
forcement of the dog tax ordinance, and
moved that the chief of police be in
structed accordingly The motion was
carried. The city recorder said he would
soon have the tags ready. This will
mean that the dog catcher will soon be
after those CANNES that have no licenses.
President Porter reported that he had
sold the cot left over from the old
hospital furniture for fifty cents.
A remonstrance was presented against
the laying of cutters on Plum street
between Third and Sixth streets, be-
cause the said guttering was unneces-
sary expense and the same was not re-
quired There were ten signers, headed
bn John lkoonze.
Aid. Hampl thought the council had
gone too far to back down.
He moved that the petition be placed
on file and it was carried
A petition was presented for side
walk to be ordered on the west side of
Sixth street between Franklin and
Fourth streets; also crosswalks on Lime
street. The petition was signed by nine
property owners.
On motion of Aid. Schroeder the Pc
tition was referred to the committee on
streets, alleys and grades.

of the two deluge sets that have been
under consideration with view to pur-
chasing one of them. On motion of
Alderman Schroeder the council decid-
ed to buy the large set, costing $l65.
and return the small set to the fac
tory.
A petition asking that no ordinance
eb passed prohibiting free lunches was
signed by eighteen saloon firms, headed
by n. & j. Klenschmidt.
remonstrance was placed on file.
Aid. Heinze said there was quite a
sentiment against the ordinance, not
from the saloon men alone but also
from those who patronized the lunch
counters. He inquired of three saloon
keepers in his ward Two favored free
lunch and one was against it,
Got To Sign It.
Aid. Atchison said that number of
saloon men who signed the petition
were really in fovor of the ordinance, and
they have got to sign it anyway.
No Action on Curfew Ordinance.
No action was taken on the curfew or
dinance except to refer the same to the
committee on ordinances. City Attor-
ney Daley had added few modifica
tions to the original draft. The ordi
nance as il reads now provides for the
arrest of children under sixteen years
of age, who are found on the streets af
ter nine o'clock unless accompanied by
their parents or guardians or some suit !
able person, OF else can show a good rea
son for being on the street at the time
Niolators of the ordinance are to be
punished by fine not to exceed S25 OF
exceed twenty days. The Judge of the
municipal court is to see that children,
arrested and brought before him under
this ordinance, and found to be neglect
ed or vagabond children be dealt with
according to the law prescribed for such
cases. !
The board of public works, to which
was referred the matter of curbDg and
guttering Clark street from Byron street |
to Prospect avenue, reported that the
proposed improvement is necessary and
proper. Alderman Atchison said there
was trouble about that Some of the |
residents seemed unable to afford it. /,
especially widow or two, who were
very poor. 1t was said that the assess
ment would be about eighty cents per
foot. Alderman Atchison favored let
ting the matter rest for the present. |
Nevertheless, the matter was referred
to the board of public works under Or
der No. g which means that the board |
is to 90 ahead and let the contract. Al
derman Atchison alone voted no on this
proposition.
The board also reported as necessary
and proper the sewer and water pipes
from Vine to Franklin street on Broad.
This was also referred back to the board
under Order No. g This is step i'm
the direction of getting sewer and water
connections to the Franklin school.

COD LIVER OIL.

It almost makes you
sick to think of it, but it
isn't nearly as bad as it
used to be. The improved
method of refining it
makes it much easier to
take, and when made into
Scott S Emulsion almost
every one can take it.
Most children like it and
all children that are not
robust are benefited by it.
When the doctor says
!" Take cod liver OIL he
generally means SCOTS
Emulsion; ask him if he
doesn't. They know it is
more easily digested and
better than the plain oil.
