WANT LANE PROSECUTED.
Family Of Henry D. Stevens 10 Calling
Aloud for vonoeance.

Minneapolis, Sept. 2S.-Family love is
calling loudly for vengeance against
John f. Lane, the alleged slayer Of
Henry ID. Stevenson.
County Attorney AL j. Smith yester-
day received letter from H. B. Stew
enson, brother of the deceased, liv-
ing ut Atkinson, Wis.,, in which the
writer inquired as to the prosecution
of Lane and intimated that the family
would spare neither money nor effort
in bring their relatives slayer to JUS
tice. He expressed desire to be kept
informed as to the progress made by
the county attorney and as to what,
if anything, he could do to assist the
state.
Lane is now waiting trial on an in
dictment charging him with manslaugh-
ter in the first degree. His case is set
for Wednesday, Oct. g., but owning to
the large number of other cases on the
calendar, it cannot be reached next
week. Mr.. Smith had said, however
that he would use every effort to bring
the case to trial at the earliest possible
date. The defendant is accused of strik
ing Henry d. Stevenson, an elderly
man, and knocking him into the street
as an outcome of dispute. The fall
resulted in a fractured skull, from which
Stevenson died few days later.

MAY REACH AGREEMENT.
EIlisons and Mrs. Riggs Likely to
Settle Money Difficulty.

Minneapolis, Sept. 2S.-Anna Riggs,
widow of and administrators for the
late Nathan NJ. Riggs, the railway con-
ductor who murdered Mile Ellison for
her money! and then committed suicide,
today filed her $1,000 bond in the pro-
bate court. The bond is furnished by
the National Surety company and is
enough to cover the claims on the estate
made by the heirs of the murdered girl.
Negotiations are now pending between
the legal representatives of the Ellisons
and Mrs. Riggs, and settlement may
possibly result. The Ellisons claim the
So, 100, with the watch and ring, found
in Riggs safety deposit vault, and also
other moneys alleged to have been OBJ
tanned by Riggs from Miss Ellison. The
latter's claims include $500 that Miss
Ellison is said to have given Riggs to
invest in western farm and which he
is said to have deposited to his credit
in an Elroy, Wis.,, bank. 1t is under
stood, however, that the Ellison heirs
are willing to settle for the contents of
the safety deposit box rather than go
to the expense and trouble of extended
litigation. #
Mrs. Riggs. OH the other hand, is un-
derstood to contend that, this money is
hers, but, realizing the I'M
pleasant publicity and terrible strain
that trial would cause, she is said to
b, willing to make some concessions.
If the matter has to be fought out I'M
the courts, it is probable that Mrs.
Riggs's attorneys will make a formal
demand upon the surety company now
holding the contents OF the box under
order of court. Their demand may be-
refused. If so, both sides will agree
to have the money turned over to the
probate court, where it will be held
pending a final adjudication that will
have to be fought out in the district
court

WILL BE PUNISHED.
Murderers Of YOUNG Thurston to Be
Prosecuted Vigorously.
From Mondays Daily.


The two Dominicans, Santiago and Ell
Marciu. accused of the murder of Charles
p. Thuston. former Garden City boy,
and John Kilbourne, the two Americans
employed as collectors in the Dominican
customhouse service who were killed by
smugglers last August, have been dellv-
cred over to the Dominican authorities
and an American customhouse officer on
board a Dominican steamer, which left
Port au Prince Immediately for Santo
Domingo. Thurston was a st. Paul man.
The prisoners say the Americans open
ed fire on them first, when the Dohini
cans demanded the return of some mer-
chandise which had been confiscated by
the custom house officers.
There are number of versions OF the
affair, but the most logical is that the
Americans seized merchandise, valued at
about $4,000, purchased here by Italian
and Dominican smugglers, and that the
next morning the Americans were muir
dered while at breakfast without being
able to defend themselves.
There being no extradition treaty be-
tween Haiti and Santo Domingo, the
prisoners were delivered to the Domini-
can authorities solely out of courtesy
to the American and Dominican govern
ments.

LETTER FROM GEORGE FOX.
Mankato Young Man Writes Inter-
estingIy Of His Travels.

Written Aug % on steamship San
tiago," in Port "Cero AssoT' and mailed
at Iqueque, Chill, his destination, Aug.
2sth:
Aug. 81 and % we We're locked at
Callao. Consequently we spent both
days ashore. Callao is not so much of a
town in itself, except for a shipping and
receiving port. OF course to a foreigner
the plazas and low open shops are in
teresting, but one can do the entire
place pretty thoroughly in three hours.
From Callao to Lima is thirty minutes.
By steam you wind about the mountains
and cross bridges l50 feet high; by train,
the cars run through the agricultural dis
trict. Some of the Haciendas are very
pretty; fenced in fields divided by mud
walls. The houses, some of the best, are
made of white marble and look like
Moorish courts. Lima itself is interest
ing. Some of the churches are more
than 500 years old. The principal cathe-
dral is over 300 years old. The ex-
terror is not prepossessing from an ar
tistic standpoint, but to me the old mud
walls and hand made iron work were
very interesting. Inside, along the sides,
are shrimes for the saints. The center
is used for services and will seat about
1000 The church is lighted by tallow
candles, some of which are eight feet
high and foot through, and most beau
tifully decorated with bright paints, and
this cathedral has the honor of keeping
the remains of Pizzaro, the sun dried
mummy, lies in sealed glass case. Be-
side him is bottle containing his brains
and sealed testimonials written by his
followers.
We spent most of our two days shore
lease in Lima and felt fully repaid. The
outskirts are more wretched than you
can imagine, but the business section
is very nice. The streets are well paved
and the walks are made of tiles, set in
elaborate designs.
There are number of small plazas
concentrating their heros and all the
shops are interesting. Most foreign
goods come from France and Germany.
The only American goods, I saw were
Colts guns and Eastman kodaks.

PRAISES MANKATO FAIR.
Good Thunder Herald Speaks Highly
Of the Show.

From Fridays Daily.
The first annual fair has been held
and can safely be pronounced sue
cess, not financially so, but from a
grand display and amusement point.
The weather was unfavorable all
through the fair and kept away many
who otherwise would have attended. In
consequence of the rains the grounds
were in bad condition and many of the
sports and amusements were dropped,
yet there was splenty of exhibits to be
seen, nearly all departments being full
and in several instances equal if not SUI
perior to those at the state fair. The
street amusements were clean and of
good order, while the most commendable
feature was the enterprise and enthusi-
asm of fair managers and business men,
vieing with each other in making it a
success.
Mankato can well feel proud of its
first fair. We believe it has come to
stay, that it will grow in Importance
from year to year, attracting those to it
from all southern Minnesota. In the
meantime the grounds should be drain
ed. improved with walks and buildings,
all of permanent kind, and addi-
tional grounds added. The time will
certainly come when they will be need
ed. Let them make of it general in

Nominees Meeting Yester-
day Was Harmonious.
HAD ONE OBJECT IN VIEW.
To Bring About a Sweeping Result
for the Republican Party in Blue
Earth County.
From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
The meeting of the republican candi-
dates yesterday afternoon to select a
county committee was attended by ev-
erv candidate on the ticket, and was
harmonious. Only one purpose was
manifested, and that was to select
committee that would assist i'll the
greatest degree in bringing about
sweeping republican victory in the fall.
The committee selected is strong
one The chairman, S. B. Wilson, is
known as one of the shrewdest and most
successful campaigners in the county, If
not i'm the state. With his advice and
assistance, and the selection of an able
executive committee, there ought not to
be any doubt about the result of the
campaign in Blue Earth county.
The selection of a secretary is such
an important matter that it was left to
the executive committee. No names were
suggested to the meeting.
In proposing the name of S. B. VIII
son for chairman, General Baker stated
that DIR. j. W. Andrews had made a
verv successful chairman in the past,
but that he declines a reelection this
wear. DIR. Andrews corroborated this,
and said that he appreciated the pleas
ant things that had been said about
him. He had served for four years, and
could not give the position his time this
year.
The meeting paid DR.. Andrews very
nice compliment when it placed HIM on
the committee as the member from the
fourth ward.
During the early part of the meeting,
DIR. Andrews, who presided throughout
most of the session, called upon Hon.
John E. Diamond for remarks. Mr.. Dia-
mond, who was a member of the last
which he had received from DR.. An
drews, courteously inviting him to be
present He was about to leave the
city, he said Mr.. Diamond stated con-
fidently that if the proper organization
was effected the county could be carried
for Cole for governor. Mr.. Cole stands
well in the northern part of the state,
and it is up to the republicans to get
into line and elect him. There is no
good and sufficient reason why republi-
cans should not vote for Cole. The
speech was well received, and those pres
ent agreed with Mr.. Diamond.
DIR. j. w. Andrews received telegram
today cancelling the date of ]. F. Jacob.
son who was advertised to speak here OIL
Thursday evening of next week. Mr..
jacobson will probably come here later
in the campaign.
Hon. A. i. Cole and Hon. J. T. Jacob
son will speak at st. James on the
night of Oct. 6. A reception is to be
rendered the speakers by the citizens.

FOR ILLEGAL FISHING.
Warrant for Four Madison Lake Men
on This Charge.


Game and Fish Warden P. H. Jordan
this morning procured warrant for the
arrest of Samuel B. Marshall. Frank
Hennessay and Arthur and Ryo Culp ON
the charge of caIcnmg more croppies
yesterday than the law allows. The law
limits the catch to % in one day, and
each of the four parties is charged with
having caught 26 croppies. 1t is said
that as a matter of fact one of the
men had 1859 croppies, another ia, the
third los, and the fourth rs. Sheriff
Williams drove to the lake this fore
noon to make the arrests, expecting to
return some time this afternoon with
the men.
1t is said that Marshall fishes for the
market, shipping fish out daily, and that
he hires four or five men to fish for
him, paying them one cent fish. At
the rate the fish were caught yester-
day it would seem that the lake will
soon become depleted. 1t is said that Mr..
Marshall claims to have caught $50 crop
pies in one day, but this may include
what his men caught. He has been be-
fore the court twice before, and the last
time Judge Comstock warned him that
he could not expect leniency on his next
appearance.
Mr. Marshall is well known as pop
ular boat liveryman at the lake, and
a more accommodating man for the place
it would be hard to find. He was fish
ing yesterday in his fast launch, and
took Dog Catcher Brooks and family on
board, not suspecting that he was an
officers. Warden Jordan looked over the
boats of the other fishermen. The fish
were confiscated.< tt
