wandered away from home, were hitch
ed up Friday and by means of a long
rope attached to the most reluctant and
a little persuasion from the rear were
coaXed along the road toward Mankato
When last seen the right ''hoss" was
trying to embrace the off with his front
legs, with the drivers wondering where
was the softest place to land.
GA railroad! A railroad!" is the oft
repeated eXclamation. 1t seems to the
wise ones too good to be true. That
inside of few months the st. Clair
lite may really be put down at his
fireside upon returning from a trip to
the world instead of making flank
movements from Mankato, Eagle Lake
ETC., as bases; and that that the awful
mud is soon to be sneered at is almost
shocking in the joyousness it produces.
But nevertheless, authentic informa-
ton is to the effect that the gentlemen
of the permanent survey are on their
way from Albert Lea and that on May
lst the dirt will be flying. Now, if
anyone wants to locate here, let him
come out.
Owing to the bad roads, the social to

DRAGGED BY A HORSE.
George Thinker Killed in California;
Body Was Manoled.

From Mondays Daily.
Leo Heidwinkel of Mankato township
last week received news of the death
of his cousin, George Thinker, who was
killed on ranch near Modesto, Cal,
by being dragged by runaway horse.
The terrible affair took place on the
first of the month. Mr.. Thinker was
riding on one horse and leading another.
In some way the rope by which the Sec
ond horse was led became tied around
the wrist of the man, whether accident
ally or not, no one can tell. This horse
seems to have been startled at some-
thing. 1t pulled the rider from the
other horse and dragged him along
the way of a run, over stones and
through brush for the distance of a
mile and half. The man was missed
and traced up by his friends, who found
the horse tired out, with the body of
the man in frightfully mangled condi-
ton still tied by the wrist with the
rope attached to the horses bride.
George Thinker was about forty years
of age, and was a butcher by trade. He
leaves a wife and two children. Twenty
years ago he lived in Kasota, with his
father, John Thinker, who ran the Ka-
sofa flour mill. The father and son
moved to California at that time, and
the father is still living there. Chris
than Thinker of Lime town is broth
er of the deceased. The Thinkers were
among the earliest settlers of this
county.

Never was there a hotter municipal
election held at the town of Jackson,
than that of last week The fight, which
had been brewing for several months,
was between the conservatives and the

men, who have made business q success
and their supporters hope for great
things from them in the way of Geo.

Mrs. Ben Upper Writes a Touching
Letter from Madison Lake.

from Mondays Daily.
The Free Press has received a let
ter from Mrs. Ben Upper of Madison
Lake, in which she takes exception to
the gossip of neignbors to the effect
that she was presented with set of
furs and silk dress last Christmas by
her husband. She denies emphatically
that she has any silks and furs. She
says that her six children are all bare
footed, and that she has sold everything
that was worth anything in order to
get along. She says: 'It is enough to
drive woman crazy. At the very best
we are furnished worse, three times
worse, than he cher husband) is. He
has what he can eat and is kept warm,
while we are in great need The only
decent clothes | nave came from my
dead mother Let folks track it up be-
fore they have so much to say. There
are men all around that do things just
as bad if it was only found out on
them, but the poor and needy always
have to suffer while the rich have no
trouble. If they have, they always es-
cape. If all the folks could understand
this from beginning to end they would
feel different.
"The folks here punish us. They
don't so much as speak to us or look at
us. | am sure L or my little children
were not to blame. Here | am left
without any friends. 1t will drive me
crazy sure. If men had hearts and
would stop to think of these children
here left like this they would not say
SO much They all have children. Let
the mothers place themselves in my
place and see how they would feel.
Have the people no hearts?"

WOULDN'T THIS TICKLE YOU
Feathers Galore Shipped From the
Hugely Poultry House.

From Mondays Daily.
On Friday of last week the feathersfrom
the e. B. Higley house in Wells which
had accumulated in the packing house
since last November were shipped.
These feathers were assorted as they
were picked except the turkey wings
and tails, which were sorted during the
winter after the rush of work was over.
At the picking several of the most val
liable turkey feathers were sorted,
by colors, those from white turkeys
being placed by themselves. All ducks,
geese and chicken body feathers were
saved separately and put into different
bales. They were shipped in large
sacks like wool sacks. In all there
were between 5000 and $500 pounds of
feathers in that one shipment. The
price ranged from that of goose feath-
ers down through ducks, chickens, tur-
key wings, tails and pointers the
longer wing feathers and the turkey
body feathers, the cheapest grade, The
great weight of the picking at the
Wells house shows the enormous
amount of poultry handled here. The
ton and a half of feathers made quite
showing.-Wells Forum.

evening by the Second regiment Of
ficers of the Southern Minnesota Ma
tional Guard, assembled at the Fox no.
tel at Austin Forty nine ballots We're
cast before any candidate received a
majority. The final vote stood thir-
teen for Butchers, ten for Captain W..
L. Mollison of Company b, Faribault;
and two for Captain II. +. Leurs of
Company l, Owatonna. The other can
didates for the office were Captain C..
W. Freaze, Company c, Winona; Ken
ny, ID, Northfeld; f. A. Everett, f..
Fairmont; F. C. Ormond, f. Rochester;
Lee Sergeant, G, Austin; and Bulls,
Blue Earth, of the regimental staff.
The election was made necessary by
the promotion of Major +. B. Wood of
Austin to the adjutant -generalsnip. 1t
is likely that Major Buschers will be
in command of the Third battalion, and
over Company H of Mankato.
Col A. w. Wright presided over the
meeting, and Lieut.. Col. George A. Whit
ney, Maj. N. Nicholson and Major A. G.
Chase participated.
Company III of Mankato was repre-
scented by Lieutenant Madison, who was
accompanied by DIR. H. w. Maltby, a
prospective candidate for the captaincy
of the company at the election of next
Tuesday evening. In addition to the
above named there were present at the
meeting the following officers: Com
pany A, Lieut.. A. Ffaender, New Ulm;

oldest captain in the regiment both in
years and experience. Last year he fill
ed the post of major of the Third regi-
ment at Camp Lakeview during the alb
sence of Major Chase.
Company III will 60 to camp with the
Second regiment at Camp Lakewood on
