TANKE CASE AGAIN.
New Evidence Found to Confirm Gull,
ofWeIlner and Mrs. Tanke.
From ThurSday'S Daily

New Ulm, Mimi, Jan. 5.-New evi,
dence has come to light in the Tanke
murder case, now several years old
which, had it been introduced by the
state at the trial, would have helped fas-
ten the guilt of the murder of John
Wellner on New Years eve, 1898, still
more firmly upon the man and woman
now serving life sentences in Saltwater
prison.
The first theory was that Tanke killed
his victim between 7:3O and $3.50 in the
evening, and when Mrs Tanke confessed
she said it was about chore time She
also said she killed her husband in the
barn.
The new evidence shows that Wellner
was killed between four and five o'clock
in the afternoon and on load of hay
which Wellner and Tanke were hauling

McCIeary and the Cooper Bill
Up This Morning.
Elect Officers and Transact
Other Business.

From Mondays Daily
In lieu of the resolutions adopted by
the Board of Trade on Nov. ID last in
regard to the circular that the president
and secretary of the board were induced
to sign as such officers favoring Con-
gresham McCleary's candidacy to sue
coed himself, the board at this mornings
meeting substituted the following:
Wipe Out Congressman's Name.
Whereas the president and secretary
of this Board of Trade, during the cleo
ton just passed, signed circular let
ter which was afterwards reproduced on
Board of Trade letter paper by the re-
publican congressional committee and
spread broadcast throughout this con
gressional district as a campaign docu-
ment, and whereas said officers, though
as they claim not authorizing or ex-
pecting that Board of Trade letter pa
per should be used, yet followed their
signatures within the designation of
| their offices in this board, and such cir
cular letter being so worded as to con-
| vey the impression upon those who
should read it that it emanated from
this board and was the result of its
official action;
"And whereas this Board of Trade
had in no manner authorized such action
on the part of its officers and is strict.
ly non-partisan in it's membership;
| Resolved, That the actions of its
said officers aforesaid is repudiated and
condemned by this board"
The above resolutions say substan-
TALLY what those did that were adopt
ed on Nov. IA, only the sharp edges are

polished over.
McCleary and the Cooper Bill.
The congressman was brought to the
attention of the board this morning in
another way. A communication was
read from the St Paul Produce Ex-
chang, saying that that body had writ
ten to Mr.. McCleary and urged him
to support the Cooper bill for the en-
largement of the powers of the interstate
commerce commission. reply, dated
Dec. Il, had been received by the eX-
change from Mr.. McCleary stating that
study. The communication from the ex-
change went on to say that it would
appear that Mr.. McCleary ought to have
given the matter his study long ago
and made up his mind about the subject
that has been agitated for SO long a
time. The exchange urged the Mankato
board to communicate with Mr.. Nc
Cleary in behalf of the bill
Secretary Taylor called attention to
the fact that the board had done this
very thing quite while ago. Mr. Nc
Cleary's reply, dated April 8, 1904, sim
| ply said the matter would be referred
to the proper committees.
The board referred the communication
from the st. Paul Produce Exchange to
the committee on legislation, which will
look into the subject and communicate
with Mr.. McCleary in connection there

ARTILLERY ACCIDENT
ONE PRIVATE KILLED AND SEW
 ERAL OTHERS INJURED.
Horses Became Frightened at Red Flag Used as Signal and Ran Away,
 Causing the Trouble During Practice.

Junction City. Kas.. Oct. 13.--Private Albert Laste, of the 29th Battery Of Field Artillery was killed during tar get practice at Fort Riley at noon to- day. Privates John Connolly and G. K. Simpson, of the same battery, are thought to be fatally injured and Pri- yates Leary, Norman, Lancaster and Cline of the same organization are in the hospital with broken limbs and in ternal injuries. A large number of other artillerymen were badly hurt.
 The accident that caused the death of Laste and injury of the others oc- cured about two miles north of Fort Riley.
 The 2gth Battery is one of the six making up the First Provincial Regi- ment of Field Artillery at target prac- tice. The battery's guns had been placed and it's right limbers loaded with ammunition were at the rear with six horses hitched to each Timber. The drivers had dismounted. When the battery was ready for firing, a large red flag was run up on a stan as a sig- nal to the party at the targets to get out of range of the guns.
 The wind blew the flag in the faces of the horses and they stampeded at once. Some of the drivers succeeded in getting into their saddles. others were dragged, but most of the drivers were left behind. The horses dashed over a small cliff and went down in a frightful mass with their riders.
 The 29th Battery belongs at Fort Leavenworth and came here the latter part of July for target practice. Pri- vate Laste enlisted in the service last January. His wife and father live in New York

TAGGART WINS SUIT
ARMY OFFICER SECURES DIVORCE
 FROM HIS WIFE.
He ia Also Allowed Custody of ChiI- dren, Though Their Mother will be Permitted to
 See Them.

Worcester, O., Oct. 13.--Judge Eason, who heard the divorce case of Captain Elmere F. Taggart against his wife. rendered his decision this after uoon. The court grants Captain Tag gart the divorce, and the custody of the two children. Culves. aged II. and Charles, aged z. Although Mrs. Tag gart is denied possession of the chill dren, she will be permitted to see them.
 Captain Taggart was in court during the reading of the decisioon. Mrs. Taggart is i'll and was not present. The courtroom was crowded with an eager ly-expectant throng of people. Judge Eason. before giving his decision, re- viewed the petitions, cross petitions, answers and affidavits. In the course of his statement, Judge Eason said that the testimony was deeply touching. The charge of drunkenness against Captain Taggart, the court said, was not sus- tained--
 The trial lasted seven weeks. The case went to the court a month ago. The suit was first started in July, 1904, by Captain Taggart, who filed a petl- tion for divorce, charging his wife with conduct unbecoming a wife and alleg- ing the excessive use of intoxicants. Mrs. Taggar' heard of the proceedings in San Francisco several weeks later and immediately started for Wooster, the home of the Taggarts, where she filed a counter petition for divorce against Captain Taggart on the ground of cruelty and negligence. The case has been of exceptional interest because of statements during tEe trial by Cap tain Taggart that the use of intoxicants in the army was so common as to be almost the custom. A number of prom inent officers were named In Captain Taggart's petition as having been more or less the cause of the domestic trou- bles between Captain and Mrs. Tag gart.
 Captain Tagart Is a we'll known army officer. He is a graduate Of West Point and has served at various army posts He was commissary of a division ir the Cuban campaign, aided in the re- lief of the Cubans, served with dlstinc- tion in the Philippines, especially al Samar, was chief of police of Manila and commanded the hospital ship Relief and the transport Sherman
