RETURNS TIE WATCH.
GalIapher Hands Timepiece Over to
Its Rightful Owner.


From Fridays Daily.
James Connolly, the fireman on the
Great Northern road whose watch and
$50 in money was stolen from him last
summer, got his watch back yesterday
afternoon. He came to the city and
told James Gallagher, a prisoner in the
county jail, whom he suspected of the
robbery, that if he would return the
watch he would say nothing about the
money, and would not prosecute him.
Gallagher handed over the watch that
he has been carrying and which Connel-
ly claimed was his. Heretofore Gale
CHER has refused to give it up.
Gallagher is the man who tried num-
Der of times to commit suicide after
being bound over on account of his
strange actions in the Commercial House,
where he spent night. He claims that
he was a conductor on the elevated road
in Manhatten, New York, and some
time ago sent for his uniform. Today
he dressed himself in it to wear should
he be summoned before the court.

EXHIBIT DOUBLE A.
Twins Introduced in Evidence Against

From Saturdays Daily.
Over in Watonwan county troubles do
not come singly. At least Andrew Skar-
pohl has observed this. He is a bache-
Tor farmer, and his housekeeper has been
Anna Tande, aged thirty-siX When she
presented him with twins recently he
refused to admit it and went into court
The case was tried before Judge Cray
the other day, and he has made an or
der that Skarpohl shall pay to Miss
Tande the sum of $l5 month until the
twins become of age, or until the further
order of the court, and $3.50 to pay the
expenses which she has thus far incurr-
rred. He has given a bond to carry out
the order of the court. Skarpohl lives
near Medelia.
Miss Tande brought the twins into
court and when they were introduced
in evidence Court Reporter Davies did
not know how to mark them, but finally
concluded to mark them exhibit double
AZ. They were lusty pair, fat and
healthy, and attracted much attention.
Judge Cray states that he never heard
of a case similar to this in all the an
nails of the practice of law.

We do not live on what we eat but
on what we digest, assimilate, and take
up in the blood. The blood in turn
feeds the nerves, the heart, and the
whole system, and all goes well with us
If the blood be kept pure and rich. If
not, then the liver, which is the human
filter within US, gets clogged up and
poisons accumulate in the body from
over-eating, overwhelming, or hurriedly
doing both. The smash up occurs
when the blood is poisoned by the
stomach and liver being unable to take
care of the 0Uer-lOdd! The red flag of
danger is thrown out in the shape of

From Mondays Daily.
John H. Esgar died Sunday morning
at his home, 22l State street, from the
effects of stroke of apoplexy which
he suffered Oct. goth, or just three
weeks previous to his death. He had not
been well for some little time before

in Somersetshire, England, and moved
to America with his family in the
spring of 1881. He resided for some
years in Wisconsin, later moving to
Estherville, Iowa, where he lived until
he came to Mankato in the fall of
1895, after which time he made his home
with his children.
Mr.. Esgar leaves a wife and three
children, Mrs. Harry Perrin of Man
kato, Mrs. Agnes Serle of Fairmont, and
John B. Esgar of Prowers, Col. His old
est son, Arthur, died in February, 1890
Mr.. Esgar had many friends who re-
greet his death. He was fine old gen
tleman, and was well liked by those who
knew him. The funeral services were
held at two O'Clock this afternoon at
st. Johns Episcopal church, the inter
ment taking place at Glenwood ceme-

wore and very little money, and had
evidently made no preparations for
leaving. Mr.. Jones has made dilligent
