CLAIMS ZIG THEFT.
VIM. VoIk Brings Suit for $4,000 for
Stolen Timber.

FROM FRIDAY 5 DaliS.
William Noll< of North Mankato who
owns Il large amount of land in Cass
county. has commenced Il civil action
against parties there to recover $4,000,
which he claims is the value of timber
stolen from his land since he bought it.
Parties were caught last May stealing
timber which tends to disprove II claim
by the defendants that the timber was
rightfully taken before Mr.. Nolk bought
the land :. b. Wilson is Mr. Nolk 5 at
torneN. and they have been engaged for
several days trying to get evidence to go
to trial with. They have considerable
evidence, and have the names of "A mum

It will take much time and work to per-
feet the case. No criminal prosecutions
are expected at present.

PLACE FOR BATHERS.
People Need Not Fear to Swim at
Lake Madison.

Lake Madison.
From Thursdays Daily.
Col. j. NJ. Barclay, owner of Point
Pleasant at Madison Lake, was in Man
kato yesterday. Speaking of the recent
drowning in the lake he said: II deeply
regret the downing of the young man
from Mankato, and was surprised to
learn that there was any bathing or
swimming at any place except at the
bathing platform, which L have built
and maintained for the past twenty five
years, at my own expense, and for che
use of all cottages on the Point as well
us guests in our own cottages and at the
hotel. By common consent of guests
and cottagers everyone goes bathing
each day at an appointed time to guard
against drownings or accidents of any
kind, as the majority of the guests on
the Point are good swimmers and divers
and could easily assist anyone who need
ed help. The beach at the bathing dock
IS Tree from weeds, brush or other things
and is most delightful place to battle
or swim. Children are as safe as grown
people. The drowning Monday was
long distance from the bathing pier, and
had the boys gone in there, there could
not possibly have been an accident. This
is the only drowning since ! have owned
the Point, which is twenty five years"

TOO MUCH JOHNSON.
Man Of Same Name as Governor Files
IS Socialist Candidate.


The st. Paul Dispatch says that the
democratic state central committee pro-
fesses to be greatly exercised over one j.
w. Johnson, of Minneapolis, who is now
out with petition for the placing of
his name on the state tisket as a candi
date for governor He wants to repre-
sent the socialist labor party.
The democrats are making the claim
that the whole thing is being engineered
by few for the purpose of creating a
confusion of names. The governors mi
tials are J. A.. Johnson. 1t is possible
that the thing may break into the
courts.

LIKE GHOST OF PAST
HUMAN SHIELD" TALKS OF
THE BOMB EXPLOSION.
He Declares That the Mind Of Russell
Sage Was Effected BY That Ter
rible Event.

New York, Aug, lO.-If any of the
relatives of the late Russell Sage should
actually bring on contest to break his
will it was said today that William H.
Laidlaw, the "human shield" would in
al probability be an important witness in
an attempt to show that Mr.. Sage's
mind might have been affected by the
bomb which the crank Norcross intended
for Sage. Laidlaw now lives in little
flat at Ninety second street and Broad
way, where The is cared for by two Sis
tiers. He is able on fair days, with the
assistance of friend, to walk to some
stores close by. As result of the in
juries he received from the Norcross
bomb in Sage's office Laidlaw has never
been able to do any remunerative work
since.
| Laidlaw said today that after his eight
years of litigation with the multi-mil-
lionaire his own little resources were ex-
probably be eight years more before he
could get ruling from the highest court.
Mr. Laidlaw said:
81 have always believed that Russell
Sage's mind was affected by that fright
full experience Although he had grab
bed me and saved his own life by thrust
ing me in between him and the Norcross
bomb, and although he knew that l
had thereby been rendered incapable of
any active work for the remainder of
my life, yet neither he nor any member
of his family ever sent me a word of
comfort or coincidence either when | lay
helpless in st. Vincent's hospital for six
months or afterward. Mr.. Sage never
even sent word to me that he was sorry
that in his fright and excitement had
been injured in his office. 1t was not
until long after when | realized that /
need not expect any voluntary assistance
from him that / brought suit for dam
ages. / shall always have the satisfac-
ton of knowing that the two juries who
heard the facts in the case gave me YER
diets for damages.
81 now have no claim on the estate.
If | had it would be Outlawed. But /
think Russell Sage was never the same
after the day he was nearly frightened
to death by that bomb"
1t was rumored today that there was
movement on foot among the nieces
and nephews to contribute purse of
$4,000 to Laidlaw. One of the relatives
suggested that the matter be brought
to the attention of Mrs. Sage so th.t
she could have an opportunity of demon
strating her charitable intentions. 1t is
said that the spectacle of the decrepit
Laidlaw with more than 100 scares on his
back and some of his muscles blown
away, would have great weight with any
Jury that was called upon to pass upon
the soundness of Russell Sage's mind at
the time he made his will.

PUSH LOTUS FOR JOB
ST. PAUL MAN SUGGESTED FOR
INTERSTATE BOARD.
He Has Made a Study Of the Rate
Question, Brought Up In Rail-
road Office.

Minneapolis, Aug. lO-George S
LOTUS of st. Paul, the shipper whose
efforts at reform of rate abuses have
made him such thorn in the flesh of
the railroad officials of the northwest,
will be urged on President Roosevelt as
a candidate for appointement to the in
terstate commerce commission.
There is now no vacancy on the COM
mission. It's complement of seven mem
bcrs under the Hepburn bill has been
named, but it is understood that +. Nj.
Cockrell, the former Missouri senator, is
soon to resign, and Commissioner c. M
Prouty may also-drop out. Whenever Il
vacancy occurs the claims of Mr.. LOTUS
will be pressed by his friends. He has
been Il leader in Minnesota, and his eX-
pert knowledge of tariff matters has
made him of high value to shippers APP
pealing for reduction and readjustment
of rates.
On account of his former railroad con
nections, he is exceptionally well inform
ed. He has been relied on for data as
to railroad rates by Senator La Toilette
of Wisconsin, by f. P. Bacon, leader of
the movement for the new interstate
commerce law, and by such searchers for
light as Ray Stannard Baker. He has
been of invaluable assistance in such
sion an expert and detailed knowledge
of rate making as business. something
possessed in such Il degree.
Mr.. LOTUS is Il Minnesotan by birth
and only thirty three years old. He en-
tered the employ of the Minneapolis 6;
| st. Louis road as an office boy for the
vice president when only ten years. old,
and worked up rapidly in the general Of
fees tin at nineteen he was chief clerk
in the general freight department. 1t
was remarkable for such mere boy to
hold position requiring so much tech
meal ability, but LOTUS made good and
held the position four years.
| In 1896 he went with the st. Paul &
Duluth as assistant general freight
agent. He remained with the company
till 1899, when he resigned to 90 into
business for himself with Charles F.
Hubbard, son of former governor L. f.
Hubbard. They formed the LOTUS
Hubbard Elevator company, which has
since engaged in the grain and hay bus
mess on the west side, st. Paul.
Almost from the start they have been
lighting railroad determinations in ia
vor of larger firms and more favored
localities, and Mr.. Lotus has kept
things moving with the state railroad
commission and the interstate commerce
commission He has secured some i'm
portant legislation and many concessions
from the railroad companies Some of
the abuses which he has shown have
been stopped by orders of the state com
mission.
The members of the interstate com
merce commission under the new law re-
ceive salaries of $4,000.

NO TROUBLE WANTED.
Animal Rurying Ground Viii Not Be
Located in 'Brooklynr''

From SATURDAYS Daily.
w. R. Geddes yesterday notified May
or Taylor that North Mankato would
take steps to prevent the location of the
city animal burying ground where pro-
posed. Mayor Taylor responded that the
city did not want to have any trouble,
and if the people of the village objected,
the lease of the ground would not be
made. This will be pleasing to the resi-
dents of the village. 1t would seem that
the city could buy a piece of ground
somewhere more cheaply than it can
rent
