WORDS OVER A CHILD.
Two Women Wanted to Have Posses
sion Of II.
From Wednesdays Daily.


Officer Vogel was summoned to the
Milwaukee passenger depot yesterday af-
ternoon, where two women were having
an argument over the possession of a
seven year old boy. Mrs. Trusty of Ka-
sofa claimed that the boy was hers,
whereas Mrs. Hinnicker of West Manka-
to claimed that she had reared the child
from baby. Mrs. Trusty had hold of
the child, but the officer asked the lat
ter which woman he would rather live
with. and he said that he would rather
live with Mrs. Hinnicker The officer ad-
vised Mrs. Trusty to let the child go and
to take legal steps later to get posses
sion of it. Mrs. Trusty took this advice
and opened her arms and the child ran
to Mrs. Hinnicker and stayed with her.
Mrs. Hinnicker went out and got into a
hack and took the child home. As she
did so, Mrs. Trusty rolled up some of
the clothing that she had taken from
the child, and hurled it toward the hack
and burst out laughing.
Mrs. Trusty said that she had been
married again, and that she had good
home at Kasota. She came to Mankato
yesterday to get the child.

BIDS Rejected.
County Board Decides Not to Accept
Any of the Bridge Proposals.

From Wednesdays Daily.
The county board this forenoon de-
cided to reject all of the bids for con-
structing the bridge near Vernon Cen
ter. What further steps to take was
to be considered this afternoon.
County Surveyor Brooks presented a
statement as to ditch No. 7, in Maple
ton, to the effect that it has been COM
pleted, and recommending its accept
ance. The board approved the recon-
mendation and released the bondsmen.
The ditch is three and half miles long
and cost $500. w. H. Tidland was the
contractor.
The road petition of Halle Olsen and
twentythree others asking for change
of road on the section line between sec
tions eight and nine, Lincoln, was re-
ceived, and on motion was referred to a
committee appointed by the chairman,
consisting of Commissioners Hanson,
Madigan and Schultz. The committee
will meet at Fred Johnson's in Lin
coin, Nov. 25th at 10 a. M, and will eX
anime the ground.

examine the st. Clair bridge and a cul-
vert on the Thomas Bowe place.

Paddock were appointed committee to
examine the Morrow and Childs bridges.
Ditch petition No. Is was received
from John j. Sullivan, who ask for
the construction of ditch in James
town, and the hearing was set for Jan.
4th at p. m. The proposed ditch would
be less than mile long, yet it would
drain 400 acres. 1t would start in sec
ton 20, and run into the foot of Bal
lentyne lake.

LOVER FOOLS MAMMA
YOUNG FOLKS ELOPE FROM SLEEPY
ST. PETER TOWN.
Girl Was Engaged to Be Married to
One and Leaves Suddenly
With Another.

st. Peter, Nov. 22.-With her wed,
ding day less than two weeks distant,
and with pretty home awaiting her as
soon as the ceremony was performed,
Miss Title Krisatis, daughter of a local
groceryman, has eloped with another
man. The proceeding was executed I'M
der the eyes of a matchful mother, and
only the clever ruse of her lover made
it possible for her to escape.
Miss Krisatis, who is eighteen years of
age, has had her share of suitors, but of
late the contest for her hand had mar
rowed to Il field of two. As an evidence
of good faith, one of these gallants
bought home and furnished it
throughout. The parents eXerted GER
tain amount of influence, and, like du-
tiful daughter, Miss Grisatis finally con-
scented to an engagement.
At this stage of the. proceedings, when
the wedding date was fixed and the
trousseau ordered, lover No seemed
hopelessly distanced. His only encour-
agement came from the fact that the
girl looked with favor on his advances,
and this led him to press his suit the
harder. In the end he triumphed, and
yesterday afternoon the couple met by
appointment at the Omaha station.
Both were restless and scanned the APP
proaches to the station anXiously. Just
as the train whistled, the mother of the
girl came in sight, and it seemed that
their plans would be spoiled. At this
point the prospective bridegroom rose
manfully to the occasion. Taking the
young woman to seat in one of the
coaches, he reappeared on the platform
and confronted the mother.
My daughter, where is my daughter?
painted the mother.
Madam" replied the young man, as
he clambered on the moving train, Il
saw her up town an hour ago"
With a sigh of relief Mrs. Krisatis
turned away. Several hours later the
truth dawned on her, but by that time
Miss Tillie was miles away.
