LEASED THIRD FLOOR
Toland's University to Occupy
Richard Building.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Three stories will comprise the super
structure of the new building that John
B. and David Richards are erecting on
the site of the old Glass Block that was
destroyed by fire. The third story will
be occupied by the Toland Business uni
versity, as was predicted by The Free
Press some days ago. F. j. Toland
mas agreed to lease the whole story for
this purpose for a period of ten years,
at total rental of $4,000. All who
have the interests of Mankato at heart
may well rejoice that the abovenamed
parties have made this agreement. 1t
not only insures the erection of larg
er building than would otherwise have
been built, but it means a substantial,
suitable and permanent headquarters
for an institution that brings hundreds
Of students into the city, stimulating
the business of the municipality, and
redounding to the benefit of every bus
mess house in the community.
Mr.. Toland will fit up the place with
the newest style of business college fur
niture and fixtures and all other para.
phernalia necessary to the comfort and
convenience of the young men and
women. This will be one of the most
thoroughly equipped colleges in the
northwest. Expense will be no bar to
making the quarters among the finest
of their kind.
The university has been a growing
and thriving institution ever since it
was instituted by Mr.. Toland in this
city. It's progress has been highly salts
factory to all concerned, and now it will
reach out still further into the sur
rounding territory for the patronage
that it well merits.

OLD CRIME is RECALLED.
Judge Quinn Discusses Happening
Of Many Years AGO.

Judge Quinn Discusses Happening
Of Many Years Ago.
From Mondays Daily.
Judge Quinn of Fairmont in CONVEX
sation with group of lawyers at Blue
Earth City the other day told the fol-
lowing Renaissance to illustrate the diff
ficulty sometimes encountered in con-
victing criminal even though there is
a moral certainty of his guilt, says
The st. James Plaindealer. He said
that some years ago when he was prac-
ticing law at Wells he was riding one
evening on a passenger train on the
was riding there were besides himself
a brakeman and the newsboy. The
Judge was in the front of the car en-
gagged in reading or lounging when he
heard a gurglmg sound and scream.
He went to the rear of the car and
found the brakeman who explained the
occurrence by saying That he had swal-
lowed a chew of tobacco and that it
had made him sick. Afterwards the
Judge went to the back of the train,
and observed that the newsboy was
missing. At the end of the run the
brakeman took a lay off. A few years
afterward the railroad company filled
up their right-of way; and the farm
er's hogs were allowed to run on the
right way; in roofing upon the land
they unearthed human skull the top
of which was crushed in, as though it
had received a blow from a coupling
pin or other heavy instrument. After
wards the entire skeleton was found.
The size of the skeleton correspondent
with the build of the missing news
boy. 1t afterwards developed that UNI
der an old shed near by woman found
soon after the incident on the train
suit of clothes like those worn by the
newsboy and mad made them over for
their children. OF course an effort was
made to secure an indictment against
the brakeman and try him for murder;
but the skeleton found could not be
identified as that of the missing man
and the finding of the suit of clothes
would not of itself establish corpus
deficit. Had conviction been secured
in the lower courts, the supreme court,
standing upon the letter of the law,
would have reversed it. 1t could not
be proven that the man was dead. The
brakeman went free, although his guilt
was a moral certainty. The newsboy at
the time of his disappearance, had a
sum of money amounting to some $3.50
or $500 on his person, and robbery was
undoubtedly the motive of the murder.
