BEN REYNOLDS IN TROUBLE.
Winnebago Attorney Charged With
Tampering With Juror.

from InufSudy ) Ddlly.
Benjamin j. Reynolds, the well known
Winnebago City attorney, has gotten in
to trouble, according to a story publish
ed in The Fairmont News. 1t appears
that in a case at the last term of the
district court which Judge Quinn is now
closing Mr.. Reynolds was attorney for
the plaintiff in Il jury case and tamper-
ed with one of the jurors. The case
was not closed at six o'clock one eve
ming and Judge Quinn adjourned court
until after supper. As the jury and at
torneys left the court room, Mr.. Reyn-
olds overlook one juryman, as the lat
ter testities, and got him to 90 to sa-
loon where he met him, going himself
by the back door, There Mr.. Reynolds
talked to the Juror, told him that his
client was poor, bought him drink
and cigar and gave him bottle of
whisky and a dollar in money.
The juror showed the whisky in the
jury room and the facts became public
talk. This came to the ears of Judge
Quinn and when he returned to Blue
Earth last Wednesday one of his first
acts was to call the juror before him,
swear him and examine him. All the
facts as given were told and recorded.
1t makes a very serious case for Mr..
REYNOLDS, who is one of the oldest and
best known attorneys practicing in that
district. 1t will probably lead to an ac-
ton for his disbarrment.

The government biographer includes
in his sketch of Mr.. Rockefeller's career
an aulogy of the oil king deliveredby G.
w. Coles of Cleveland, and speech de-
livered by Mr.. Rockefeller to his fellow

quoted as asking, by those who come
after us, when 100 years hence this city
celebrates its second anniversary and
reference is made to you and me? Will
il be said that this OF that man had ac-
cumulated great treasurer No. All
that will be forgotten. The question will
be: What did we do with our treas
ures? Did we or did we not use them
to help our fellow men! This will be
forever remembered"
The sketch includes list of the
gifts.
The material for the governments BIZ
ography of Mr.. Rockefeller is said to
have been contributed by the oil king

STANLEY SECOR ON THE ISLE
Reported That Winnebaes Man Is One
of the Colony.

FROM Tuesday S Daily.
Since 4. A. Bucks arrest on the Isle
of Pine and the report that Judge John
h. Oglc is soiourning there, hints have
reached The Free Press that Stanley
5. Secor. former Winnebago City
banker, is also one of the colony on the
island. 1t will be remembered that
couple of years ago Secor disappear
ed suddenly. He was last seen in Mil
waukee After that he dropped out of
sight as if the earth had swallowed
him. \ few months after his departure
from Winnebago Il report came from
Chicago that his dead body had been
found in Lake Michigan. An investi-
CATION proved that the body recovered
from the lake was not that of Secor.
Not a trace of Secor could be found.
lie was among the missing, and neither
his father nor any of his relatives knew
of his Whereabouts. de was given up
for.dead
There is. no apparent reason why Sc
cor shollldr remai.i away from Winnie
bago No warrant has ever been issued
for his arrest and should he return to
that village he would not be prosecut-
ed as there is no charge of any crook
edness against him. 1t has been said
that Secor took away with him some
thing like $4,000 of the banks funds,
but this is denied by his father, who
claims to this day that he does not
know where his son is.
y few days ago report was clrculat-
ed in Winnebago City that Secor was
now on the Isle OF Pines. The Free
Press correspondent at Winnebago en-
deavored to learn the truth of the re-
port. but no one-not ever Secor's near
est relatives were aware that the
voun" man was on the island, and
doubted the story. They claim to know
nothing of his present abiding place

YELLOW BACKED BOOKS.
Ills Said They Will Be Abolished From
the NorthWe stern.

From Tuesdays Daily.
1t is reported that the Northwestern
Railway company will soon prohibit the
sale of paper backed novels commonly
known as dime literature" on its trains.
This has been done by many eastern
lines including the Pennsylvania sys-
TEN, and the action of the Northwest
ern officials will not come as surprise
to the news agents. Officials who have
abolished Sunday excursions and who
run as few trains as possible on Sun
day, believe that the wild-eyed detec-
tive stories breed crime and as many
of these books deal with railway life,
holdups. murders, wrecks and other
schemes to rob trains. the companies feel
justified in suppressing the sale of such
literature from the "ncwsies," who are
considered such nuisance by some rail
road companies that the boys have been
altogether prohibited from the trains.

Was Injured While Working
at a Lemon Machine.
Wound Was Not Attended to
Properly at Start.
Pieces of Leather and Stock
ing Cause Trouble.
From Saturdays Daily.


Rudolph Neumann, the fifteen year
old son of Christian Neumann lies dan
gerously i'll with tetanus at MS home at
3lS East Washington street. Little
hopes are entertained for his recovery.
The illness is the result of an injury
that the boy received last Saturday al
ternoon while at work III the Pay cam
dy factory. He was assisting in clean
ing up, when the lemon drop machine
was accidentally knocked over, rod
of the same striking his left foot. He
thought little of it ut the time, until
the foreman told him to look at his
foot. which was bleeding. The shoe and
part of the stocking were pulled off, and
the foot was washed and plastered. He
was then taken to his home.
Here he pulled off the plaster and
salve was applied to the foot. Saturday
foot gave him little trouble. He was up
and able to walk about the house,
though he lmped little.
On Monday morning the foot began
to swell and doctor was called. He
gave directions for nursing the foot and
left orders that he should be called
again if the foot made further trouble.
The family thought all was well. The
boy was in good spirits and the foot
seemed healing. 1t began to swell
again before long, however.
On Friday morning the boy was weak
anG ave III eat bnt httlc breakfast. His
back and neck ached and he lay upon
the lounge. Soon he could not move his
jaws. y physician was summoned and
arrived at 1890. He pronounced the
case one of lockiaw, and said that he
would not undertake it alone.
The foot was opened, and pieces of
leather and stocking were picked out
from the wound, having been forced into
the flesh when the foot was struck by
the falling machine.
Last might the boy rested badly, hav-
ing had perling spell. This morning
he was in a critical condition and suf-
fered great pain.
The boy died late this afternoon.

B. H. WARD FOUND GUILTY.
Fairmont Man Assessed $50 for
Shooting Moose.

From Thursdays Daily.
b. II. Ward of Fairmont, Mimi,
formerly member of the state game
and fish commission, was Friday found
guilty of shipping by Northern Pacific
express from Northome to Eairmont a
quarter of moose meat together with
the hide, the same being a portion of
the carcass of Il female moose. Ward
was sentenced to pay fine of $50 and
costs, which amount to $2l7, in default
of the payment of which he must serve
30 days in the ltasca county jail
The case is interesting to residents of
the north country as well as those of
southern Minnesota, where Ward is well
known. The defense in the case started
with the contention that Ward killed
bull moose and that the ease was the
result of conspiracy on the part of
Samuel +. Fullerton, executive agent of
the game and fish commission, to even
up an old score. Evidence by the state
established the fast that the complaint
against Ward had been made by settlers
living near Nofthonle and that Fullerton
did not knows TIE suspicion against
Ward until after Saal tsffiion of Wards
who hunted with him near Northome
last fall, had been arrested
The defense then claimed that the
meat and hide shipped to Fairmont had
been given 10 Ward by young man
named Emil Dybdahl and that Ward did
not know whether it was part of the
carcass of Il male or female moose.
The state then produced as evidence
the heads of three moose killed by the
party to which Ward belonged when he
hunted near Northome last fall and the
hides of two moose killed by members
of the party, according to testimony
by Il. p. Boyd, who was convicted of
costs.
The register of hotel at Mizpah
was introduced as evidence by the state
and it was shown that while stopping
at the hotel Ward had registered the
names of his party and written on the
register Big moose hunters; killed
three moose and two deer" Evidence
was also introduced by the state show
ing that the members signed their
names on the door iamb of log cabin
TO statement as follows: skilled one
moose today.
One witness testified that Ward had
offered him shoulder of moose that
had been left in the woods when the
animal had been dressed, but that when
he went there with a wagon to haul it
away Ward objected to his carrying it
off SAYING it ought to be worth $l5.
Ward stated to the Pioneer Saturday
that the case was nothing but spite
work and that if he had committed a
crime in shipping the meat to Fairmont
it was done unknowinly. He said the
case would at once be appealed to the
district court Bemidii Pioneer
