WOULD HANG HIM IN EFFIGY.
Statement Alleged to Have Been Made
by General Childs.

from tuesdays Daily.
A. H. Vernon, staff reporter for The
st. Paul Daily News, was in Mankato
yesterday. He sent mis- paper the pro-
ceedings anent the granting of bail to
Koch, and also appended the following
interview with General Childs:
81 believe third trial will be held
and concluded. Unless there is a great
revlusion of feeling in New Ulm |
believe | would be hanged in effigy
there if l nolled this case now"
Here is another story reported by Mr.
Vernon:
George, here is a loaded pistol. If
you killed Gebhard, the thing for you
to do is to take this and 60 out to
the barn and end it ALL
"But, father, | didn't do it,
"Then / will stand by you till the
last"
1t is automatically reported that this
conversation took place between DR.
Koch and his father at the Koch home
the Friday following the murder.

"YOU'VE BOYS OF YOUR OWN
Message Alleged to Have Been Re-
peated BY Wife to Husband.

From thursdays Daily.
DIR. Koch receives no callers at the
Jail except his relatives, who visit him
at least once day and present him
with flowers to cheer up his quarters.
He makes no trouble for the sheriff and
is in every way model prisoner. He
does some reading when time hangs
heavily upon his hands.
1t is reported that while one of the
jurors was telephoning to his home
early in the trial mis- wife said to him:
Remember, you have boys of your
own" This story is denied by Bailiff
Rutan, who had charge of the jurors
when they were telephoning. He states
that nothing of this kind happened, and
that only matters of business were
talked over by any.

The Line Has Been Located As
Far As Cream.
Right of Way Through Freeborn
County Secured.
Grading Begins When Condem-
nation Is Completed.

From Wednesdays Daily.
Hubert Bruels of st. Clair was in the
city yesterday Afternoon, to make a
business call on the county treasurer, as
so many of the tax payers are doing at
this time of the year When seen by a
Free Press reporter he said that he was
anxious to have a wrong impression set
right. He referred to statement pub
lishcd in the GAINESVILLE Argus and quot
ed by local papers. This statement pur.
ported to be made by man who said
that Contractor Tobie had become dis
couraged and thrown over the proposed
railroad from Albert Lea to Mankato.
"The road will be built before fall,
said Mr.. Bruels, "and next spring work
on the extension to st. Cloud will be
begun. Everything is going along
smoothly, but of course there is always
a vast amount of work to be done be-
fore the actual work of grading can be
begun in railroad work. No one who has
not had experience can begin to realize
how much there is to be DONE
THE contracts for the right of way
through Freedom county have been Sc
cured, except in a few instances, where
it will be necessary to have condemna-
1
ton proceedings. This will take but a
short time, so that practically the first
twenty miles of the right of way have
been secured.
THE line has been located as far as
Cream in Blue Earth county, and the
surveying corps is now engaged in MAX
ing maps and profiles of the work as
far as it has gone, before beginning on
the final stage in this county. Not
much trouble is expected in getting into
this city, but when it comes to getting
out the difficulty will begin.
"The papers for condemnation pro-
ceedings are being prepared and the
notices will be served in very short
time. As soon as the necessary land has
been condemned the work of grading
will begin.
'The people along the line are com
ing to the front nicely in the matter of
taking bonds except at Vivian, where
they think that the road is a sure thing
and they are not doing thing to help
it, preferring to profit at the expense of
more enterprising people.
1T had been expected that the work
of grading would have been begun be-
fore this, but there have been some una
voidable delays. The road will be
built this summer, however, and no mis-
take"

Decides on Location at Meet
ing late Yesterday.
Lot on Fourth Street, Formerly
Owned BY Omaha.
Thirty-fiv Members of 0rgani-
cation in Attendance.
From THURSDAYS Daily.

From THURSDAYS Daily
1t was decided at the special meeting
of the Evangelical Lutheran Hospital
Association of Southern Minnesota, held
yesterday afternoon in the German
Lutheran school, to accept the offer of
the city in regard to the Fourth street
property. The association is to have
a clear title to the half block on North
Fourth street between Washington and
Spring on the payment of $1,000. 1t is
thought that the market value of the
property is about $1,000, so that the ar
rangement really amounts to quite a
substantial donation on the part of the
city for the hospital.
The trustees were instructed to make
the best disposition possible of the
Tourtellottee property. The association
would like to sell the building and the
half block on which it stands, but if
the building cannot be sold, the next
best thing will be to utilize it in the
building of hospital On the Fourth
street site. The five trustees are Rev.
A. F. Winter, Mankato; Rev. III. Stras-
en-, CORTLAND; August Schippel, St.
James; HI. Burmeister, Mankato; and
Carl Matzke, Good Thunder.
The trustees were further instructed
to call special meeting of the associa
ton as soon as the debt is wiped out
and the sum of S. 900 has been raised i'm
cash or by subscription. AT this meet
ing plans for the new building itself
will probably be considered and perhaps
decided upon in general way.
About thirty five were present at the
meeting. Rev. Winter presided and
Prof H. c. Bode attended to the duties
of secretary. New members We're adj
mitted as follows: Rev Baumann, Lu-
verne; Rev. Firnhaber, Iosco, Mimi,
near Waseca; Rev. Mueller, Brewster
Rev. Brasch, Fulda, Mimi; Rev. Porisch,
Butterfeld, Mimi; Rev. Albrecht, Ely
sian, Mimi; Rev. Heinemann, Truman
and Rev. Werenberg.

EVERYBODY GOES FISHING
Eagle Lake a Sportsmen's Resort;
Notes From the Village.
From Thursdays Daily.


Since the fishing season mas opened
everybody is eating fish. Every small
boy is seen with fish pole, and often
with string of good fish. Even the
postmaster must needs have days
vacation and try mis- hand at the favor
lite pastime, with good success, too.
The little house owned by Mr.. A. L.
Cummins, next to Mr.. Presnall's is be-
ing RACED to the ground
The rains of the past week have given
Eagle Lake people fine lot of mud
on the streets. "a
Corn planting mas been unavoidably
delayed in this vicinity on account of
the weather.
The Eagle Lake school will close on
Tuesday, May 30th. The pupils are
planning to- give an ice cream supper
at the school house on that evening to
raise few dollars that are still due
on the organ, and any amount that
may be raised over the required sum
will be used to purchase new song
books.
M. B. Cook has been remodeling a
part of his house inside. Mr.. Ed.
Stearns is doing the work.
Mr.. Corban, who recently underwent a
surgical operation in the hospital at
Mankato, is now able to be about the
streets.
Much interest has been manifested
over the "Koch' trial, and some of the
wise heads in town differ in opinion re-
garding the guilt of the defendant. The
discussions over the matter have wax
ed somewhat warm, some times, but, so
tar there are no sworn enemies over
the difference of opinion.

Congregational Conference at
New Richland Successful.
Fine Condition of the Churches
Is Reported.
Papers on Interesting Topics
Read and Discussed.
From THURSDAYS Daily.

From Thursdays Daily.
Ministers and lay delegates that at
tended the twenty fourth annual meet
ing of the Mankato conference of Con
gregational churches and ministers, held
lat New Richland on Tuesday and We'd
nesday, May l6 and IL, went home well
pleased with the results of the gather
ing, which was one of the largest and
most successful ever held in this con-
ference. The territory embraced under
the jurisdiction of this body includes
parts of the state south and south
west of Mankato. The Congregational
church of Mankato was represented by
the pastor, Rev. E. l.. Heermance, and
ID. L. Harris.
Rev. H. X. Painter, of Fairmont was
elected moderator, and w. Q. Dustin of
Gilmore, clerk. What has been previously
known as the home missionary commit
tee was enlarged in its membership and
functions and given the name of the fel-
lowshi committee. 1t will now have
general oversight of all the churches IN
the district and will assist in fitting pas
tors to churches. This is right in line
with recent movements in Congregation
al policy, but the Mankato conference
is the first one to take this step definite
~. By change in the standing rules,
a licentiate is to be allowed under GER
tain contingencies to perform the mar
riage ceremony. The Anoka conference
adopted this same change on the day
before. One man was examined by the
MankatO conference for license to preach
in Congregational churches, James Har-
well of Elmore. He was granted a Ii
cense for one year. The Mankato con-
annual, at Elmore in November. Hence
forth, after lapse of twenty years, the
conference is to return to semi annual
sessions
Reports from the various churches of
the conference showed an unusually
good condition of things. Many minis
tiers reported revival services of great
success, resulting in large additions to
the membership.
Sermons and theses constituted a large
part of the program of the two days.
The conference sermon was delivered by
Rev. H. X Painter of Fairmont; pa

From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
Martin L. Klein received the very
gratifying notification this week that he
had been named as a member of the
state board of examiners of licensed en-
balmers. The appointment comes
through the chairman of the state board
of health and the president of the Min
nesota Funeral Directors association,
and is deserved recognition of Mr..
Klein's proficiency in his chosen work.
The local man has been member of
the state association for the past fif
teen years, but, it is needless to say,
the appointment came to him without
solicitation on his part. His friends
will be pleased to learn of his good for
tune.-St. Peter Herald.

GOVERNOR ON MEMORIAL DAY
Issues Procls alton; Eloquent Trih-
ute to the Dead.


Issues a Procls m lion; Eloquent Trh-
ute to the Dead.
From Thursdays Daily.
Gov. Johnson has issued procama-
ton, announcing the recurrence of Me-
mortal day, as follows:
again that day approaches about
which cluster the tenderest associations
of the nation-Memorial day.
"For almost half century the beau
tiful custom of decorating the graves
of soldiers has obtained. Most of the
states of the Union, including our own,
have by proper legislation, set the seal
of approval upon this custom, by setting
this day apart for filial rites of remem-
brance and for the payment of just
and deserved tribute to those who, for
getting all save love for country, en-
listed in the war for the preservation
of the Union.
'True ancestor worship-this tribute
from grateful, loving children to the
heroic forefathers who fought to pre-
serve to their neirs land free from in
cumbrance, and who wrote their last
testament with their own blood that all
the world might read.
'In the great family struggle, Mime
sofa played no fedgling part. The first
state to offer her sons for the sacrifice
and the last to withdraw them from
service, her story is written in the Ian
guage of Gettysburg, Chickamauga, Mis-
sion Ridge, Nashville, Vicksburg, and a
hundred other battles where valor and
courage made heroes of men. Those
who rest beneath the mounds in the
North and the South can no longer tell
of their deeds, but the mound is in it
self story of patriotism, love and sac
rifce. And it is to these mounds that
we are privileged to so on Memorial
day and by floral and other decoration
-show our reverence and affection for the
heroes of the nation.
ct is therefore taken for granted
that no unnecessary labor will be per-
formed on this day of hallowed memoir
les, either i'm the home or business world
and all citizens of the state are urged
to lay aside their cares and duties for
that day and generally join in a due OBJ
servance of the customs which prevail;
to find some form for showing venera-
ton; to express some tender thought for
the departed. The dropping flag, the ev-
ergreen, the flowers of the field should
become proper symbols, typifying the
resurrection of the body, and all these

'The race of heroes has not become
extinct. The passing of the soldier of
1861 is at hand, but the records of San

are imperisnable.
''Let us then with one accord gather
together, with unity of spirit, with one
purpose, and without stint do homage
at the shrine of the departed heroes of
our country and thus honor ourselves in
the performance of sacred duty"
