Prisoner Keeps His Word.

Dan Martin a former Federal
prisoner, presented himself to
Sheriff lancaster at the lnde-
pendence county Jail in this city
Sunday night, after walking a
distance Of lhirty-five miles, from
Mountain Wow, for the purpose
of finishing the serving Of a Jail
sentence and fine imposed by the
Federal Court last spring. Martin
was serving out the sentence in
this city, when word reached
him that his wife was dan
gerously i'll. Commissioner Parse
ordered the prisoner released so
that he might 60 home and at
tend his sick wife, with the
promise upon the part of Martin
that he would return and finish
his term, which promise he kept
by returning to Batesville as soon
as his wife had recovered suf-
ficiently for him to leave her.
This is not the first time that
Martin has been released on
parole, as he was permitted by
Judge Trieber last spring, after
he had been fined and sentenced
to Jail, to return home and make
a crop. AS soon as the crop was
made Martin returned to Bates
vile and entered upon his sem
tence. -Batesvile Guard.

GOV. AUSTIN DEAD.

Just one week after the death of
Hon. A. r. McGill there passed
away an earlier governor, whose
early career In Minnesota was iden-
titled with that of Gov. McGill s
who became sponsor for McGill,
and for whom the latter governor
acted as private secretary and in
surance commissioner. The de-
ceased was Hon. Horace Austin,
who ruled the destinies of this
state from Jan. 9, 1870 to Jan. Z,
1875, when be was succeeded by
the late Cushman Kellogg Davis.
Horace Austin practically retired
from public life after he closed his
career as governor, and it can be
said of him that he was one of the
ablest and strongest men who ever
occupied that position, as be had
previously been one of the most
conscientious and most fearless of
the judges of the district court.
As result be is but little known
to Minnesota of to-day with it's
younger and progressive popula-
ton, but the old settlers will recall
him for his vigorous administrator
OF public affairs while they we're
entrusted to him, and for the many
wise and timely suggestions be
made for the Improvement of the
political conditions and for the up
building of the state.
Gov. Austin attended the funeral
of his private secretary and insur-
ance commissioner, who afterwards
succeeded him in the gubernatorial
chair on Thursday, Nov. 2, Gov.
McGill having passed away two
days before. On Nov. 9TH he en-
tered St. Barnabas hospital and at
noon that day be was no more.

MANUAL TRAINING.

An article in the last issue of this
paper pointed out the merits of a
manual training department in con-
nection with a high school. The
article was written for this paper
after a thorough investigation had
been madelof nearly all the manual
training department of high achools
in the state.
The big gain to community hav-
ing such department in its schools
appears to be the attached interest
for young boys and girls in keeping
up their high school work. The
department teaches them various
details for the construction of USE
full articles about house and other
buildings. The young ladies get
the first rudiments of all their
household work.
Those schools inspected present
ed excellent work on part of the
students. The best of all is the
satisfaction that comes to the par
ents. Some little piece of carpenter
work is needed about the house or
barn. The boy who has attended
the manual training school gets his
tools and makes just what is need
ed. The girl pleases her parents
in the-same way with doing some
work they thought she was incapa-
BILE of. Father and mother are
pleased, and the pupils, in addition
to their book learning, are getting
something that adds to their wealth

c. "A. Kraft Disappears,


From Cimarron Jacksonian, December p.
Chas. A. Kraft, clerk of the dis
trict court, has been absent from
home since Wednesday of last week
and his present whereabouts is un
known to his wife or anyone else, sc
far as we are able to learn. Mr.
Kraft boarded the east-bound loca
freight on Wednesday of last week,
telling some of his friends that he
was only going as far as Dodge City
while to others he stated that he was
going to Chanute, Kans. AT Dodge
he boarded the local passenger fol-
the east. John Harper was pas
senger on the same train, and as
they approached Kansas City the
next morning he discovered Mr..
Kraft was on the train, and in con-
versation with him asked him whe1.
he was coming back. He replied
that he would return home on No.
stating that it would not take long to
attend to his business here. This is
the last that has been seen or heard
of him. Mrs. Kraft is almost heart
broken over the affair, and his alb
senee at this time, when he should
be here getting his records in shape
to turn over to his successor, has
given rise to several ugly rumors.
1t is known that his records are in
bad shape, and public opinion is in
clined to the belief that he short in
his accounts, but this cannot be de-
termined until thorough examina-
ton has been made. A short time
before leaving, L. U. Hiatt, agent
for the Santa Fe company, gave him
draft for $4,000 in settlement of
a suit brought against the company
by Geo. Scott, now living in Okla
homa, for injuries alleged to have
been sustained by being knocked off
the track by a train some months
ago. This draft Kraft cashed at the
bank, and is supposed to have TAX
en- the entire proceeds with him.
Kraft is bonded In the United States
Fidelity and Guaranty Co., so that
no one will lose anything should the
reports prove true. An adjourned
term of the district court is to be
held soon, and considerable busi-
ness has accumulated which needs
immediate attention. The attention
of Judge Madison has been called to
the case.
Kraft has been drinking heavily
since his defeat for reelection, and
it is thought by some that his mind
is temporarily affected as a result
and that he will turn up alright
soon.

Meade o, Liberal 16.

The Meade High School foot ball
team went to Liberal last Thursday
to play the Liberal High School
team. The game was played in the
afternoon and resulted in a defeat
for Meade by a score of 16 to o.
Malcolm Judd, who played with the
Meade boys, received some injuries
in the early part of the game which
put him out of commission. 1t is
reported. that the whole Liberal
team wanted to put him out of the
game and had offered a reward to
the one who would put him out.
This may be part of the game of
foot ball, but it is pretty hard on a
fellows anatomy. Otherwise the
Meade boys say they were treated
o. k. They think however that
Liberal played a dirty game.
