James Orcutt and W. Forrest Nelson
luckily escaped uninjured in a runaway

their way to the sawmill for load of
lumber, and in going down a hill the

running a short distance, broke the coup.

A A. Buck to Havana He evidently
thought that he was in danger, for he
at once made arrangement to leave Sc
cretly. Word of his having left the is
land reached Havana about the time
that Sheriff Williams arrived there. If
his present whereabouts are known to
Mr. Buck the latter will not divulge the
fact
Judge Ogle did not sojourn at Nueva
Corona, where Mr.. Buck was conducting
a hotel, but he drove there twice, the
second time on the Fourth of July, when
a great celebration was had. Mr.. Buck
was chairman of the committee that
had charge of the celebration. On his
first visit to Nueva Corona, Judge Ogle
took dinner at Mr. Bucks hotel.

Ellis of Mapleton came to the city last
evening to call on Mr.. Buck, and spent
the entire evening there. They urged
him to spend the time between now and
November at Mapleton.
Mr.. Buck will take up the matter OF
furnishing bail as soon as Judge Cray
returns, which will probably be tomor-
row. 1t is likely the necessary arrange
ments can be made the first of the week.
A physician has examined Mr.. Bucks
ankle, and finds that the bones have not
knit, probably owing to couple of falls
that he had while on the trip to Man
kato. He says that it will be six weeks
before the foot can be used. This will
prevent Mr. Buck from doing any work
for the present, but if he is released on
bail he VIII 60 10 Mapleton.
The number of callers at the Jail
keeps up, so that Mr.. Buck has com
pany most of the time. He is allowed
the freedom of the sheriff's office in the
day time, and this afternoon was en-
gagged in mailing fifty Mankato papers
to his friends on the Isle of Pines, SO
that they can see what his reception
was on arriving in Mankato.
While in Cuba, Mr.. Buck learned to
like the Spanish style of cooking, and
so fond of it is that he made it prac-
tice to have meals served at his hotel in
that way occasionally. He talks Span
ish fuently, and this fact pleases the
Cubans.
Sheriff Williams found that Mime
sofa man has purchased twenty acres
near Havana, at SIS an acre, and will
move there in the fall to live. He is
from the northern part of the state.
Mr.. Williams states that he would not
make the long trip again without taking
guard, for he did not get chance
to remove his clothing from the time
that he left Havana until he reached
home.
Mr.. Buck states that no matter how
long term he gets, he will never ask
for a pardon. He will take what is
handed to him and say nothing. While
this is so, it will not prevent his friends
from asking for action by the state
board of pardons, and it is thought that
they will not lose much time in doing
so.
