the Milwaukee road, crushed out the
life of a man at LIE Sueur Center this
forenoon. The train is due in Manka-
to at 1880 a. M, but was late today
and did not reach LIE Sueur Center until
10 a. m. AS the train was moving slow
ly into the village, the fireman, who was
looking back along the train, noticed a
man throw himself between two of the
cars. There was jar of the train, and
then the fireman told Engineer Bross.
ard what he had seen, and the air
brakes were applied Immediately and
the train was brought to a stop within
half car length.
When the train crew approached the
spot where the fireman had seen the
man throw himself between the cars a
grewsome sight met their eyes. There
across one of The rails lay the body of a
man, terribly crushed. Life was al
ready extinct, as the wheels of one truck
had passed over his chest. The body
was taken out and turned over to the
coroner of lie Sueur county.
1t was learned that the mans name
was Edward Moore, and the evidence
was clear that it was case of suicide.
Moore had sold his farm some time ago
and was worried about it, and wanted it
back. He grew respondent. This morn
ing he and neighbor drove to LIE
Sueur Center from near Lexington,
where they resided, and when the train
came along Moore suddenly threw him
self between the cars and was run over.

and his death fills his acquaintance
with sorrow.

ductor p. H. Gallagher, reached Manka-
to early this afternoon. -.

DEMURRER OVERRULED.
Edward Pierce Must Stand Trial on
Charge Of Swindling.

from FRIDAY DdlIy
Edward Pierce demurred to the indict-
ment charging him with having swindl-
ed Frank Herrick out of $40 by means
of the short change trick, and the argu-
ment on the same was heard at l:3O
o'clock this afternoon before Judge
Cray. c. L. Benedict presented the ar
gument in support of the demurrer,
which was based on the allegation that
the Indictment failed to state a public
offense, because it did not charge that
Pierce procured the money with the pur-
pose to defraud Herrick out of it. He
claimed that the intent should be shown,
the same as is required where larceny
is charged.
County Attorney Wilson took the
ground that as long as the statute does
not mention intent it was not necessary
to 60 outside of it and put the intent
into the Indictment.
The court remarked that it looked to
him as though there was little incOn-
sitency between the statutes relating
to larceny and swindling, one requiring
that there be an intent, and the other
not An Indictment framed in the words
of the statute is universally considered
good, and he overruled the demurrer.
Pierce then entered a plea of not gull
ty and was taken back to the county
Jail.
The trial of John Dotson on the charge
of stealing Frank Madden's overcoat
from the City Hotel was taken up this
afternoon, w. r. Geddes appearing for
the defendant. The defendant claims
that he took the overcoat by mistake,
leaving his own behind. He was drunk
at the time, and did not realize that he
had another's coat until he reached St.
Paul, and then supposed that someone
had exchanged with him on the cars.

OFFICERS REELECTED.
Creamery Association Approves Plan
Of New Building.
From Wednesdays Daily.


Of New Building.
From Wednesdays Daily.
The annual meeting of the Mankato
Cooperative Dairy association was held
at the creamery yesterday afternoon,
and was attended by about forty of
the stockholders. All of the directors
were reelected, as follows: j. H.
Schwickert, A. L. Veigel, j. j. MilleH
Anton Oberley, Henry Schultz, William
Wittrock and Ed. Farrar.
The directors reelected the following
officers: j. H. Schweickert, president;
j. j. Miller, treasurer; Anton Oberley,
secretary; A. L. Veigel, collector and
manager.
The financial report showed that the
past year was the best since the assOcia-
ton was organized.
The plans for the new creamery build
ing at the corner of Fourth and Rock
streets were presented and approved.
Owing to the fact that a two story
building will look much handsomer than
one story building, it may be that a
two story structure will be put up.
The plans call for building 80 by 80
feet, on the first floor, and to be two
story except over the boiler and engine
room. The two story part will be 80
by So feet. The building will cost about
$4,000, and work on it will begin as
soon as possible, so as to have it CON-
pleted by May LIST.

HINTS ON CURLING.
Some Suggestions Made BY a Veteran
Of the Game.

To the Skips: Become perfectly ia
miliar with the rules of curling, written
and mwritten, and always remember
especially when the game seems to be
going against you, that the Golden Rule
is above everything.
Select your men carefully, and see
that they are placed right. before be-
ginning play. \ good lead may be a
detriment as third player, while perhaps
the second player, may be as good Il skip
as yourself. One position on the ice is
just as important as another.
Good leading, backed up by cautious
second player, gives your third man Il
chance to practice guarding, { a much
better game than Dunbar's knocking
QUIT, and if you are any good yourself,
10 to the head" is yours.
Don't get the idea, that all the knowl-
edge of the game is locked up in your
own head, however, skilful at it you
may be. Give your players the benefit
of your experience. BE patient, and
courteous, even if they are not playing
as well as you wish them to. Encor-
age them all you can. You will then
get the benefit of increased good will,
and not absurd what looked like Il
seemingly defeat, will turn out Il Water
loo. Progress is being made in the sci
ence OF curling and can be participated
in with vigor and enthusiasm by those
from fifteen to seventyfive years of age
as [ can truthfully testify to in my
thirty years of experience.
To the other players: Implicitly obey
your skip's orders. When he gives you
the out or interior to the broom, play
as true to them as you can. He is sup
posed to know what is best in giving di-
rections, having the advantage of being
near the ''tee," while YOU are forty
yards away, and, some day when You
are Il skip yourself you will see the add
vantage gained by chewing orders and
having discipline in Il rink.
Good sweeping, is about as important
as good playing, besides
at warns the blood. stirs up the ma
tive heat.
And gives a keen curler an appetite
for meat
Station yourselves along the sides of
the Kinks. Watch every stana as it leaves
the players hand, and be ready to loop,
loop" or ''hand up" as the case may be-
But be careful to sweep according to
rule, which is always across the rink,
and not annoy your opponent. Never
cross the ice during Il game. and bear
in mind, the skips alone, stand at or
about the 'tee."
Each do his share of the work to be
done and promotion will in due time
follow.
Curriers' are an intelligent class of men
and soon recognize and reward merit.

mine committee of miners and the
superintendent of the company which
owns the Rosebud mine to prosecute
the two shot-f1rers for criminal care
lessness in causing an explosion last
Wednesday is approved by miners gen
orally. Regardless of any fault of the
company in not preventing the accum-
ulatiOn Of dust, the shots were fired
recklessly and in violation Of rules and
laws.
The miners committee found that
there was no dust explosion, which
still further places the responsibility
on William Yemm and Sam James,
the shOt-frers. They had put the shot
more than a foot into the coal and
used more than the maximum charge
of powder. 1t was agreed by all par
ties to the investigation that as soon
as Yemm and James can leave their
homes they should be arrested. 1t is
held that only by such step can such
recklessnesS be stopped.
