DAVIS is MAKING GOOD.
Representative Expects a Favorable
Report on Forestry Bill.

Washington, Jan. 2-Representative
Davis expects to obtain a favorable re-
port soon from the committee on agri-
culture on his bill to provide for instruc-
ton in forestry in the agricultural col
leges in the various states. Mr. Davis
pressed this bill before the committee in
the last session, but was urged to defer
the matter while the Adams bill was put
through providing for increased appro-
prlations for agriculture colleges and ex-
pertinent stations. Mr. Davis has had
several conferences with agricultural de-
partment experts regarding the desira-
bility of providing for instruction in for
estry, and he expects considerable aid
from the department in securing the de-
sired appropriation. Under the terms of
the bill $1,000 year is to be allotted
for forestry instruction, the amount to
come from the unexpended balance Of
the public land revenues.

THREAT.TO WHIP.
On This Charge William Within ers
Arrested.

From Mondays Daily.
William Wittmers was arrested Sat
urday evening on complaint of Harry
Rosen, who charges that on Friday last
Wlttmers threatened to beat him. The

the men formerly had. When arraign,
ed Saturday evening before Judge Com
stock, Wittmers pleaded not guilty and
his trial was set for ten o'clock this
forenoon, and he was released on 5000
bail and peace bond.
Wittmers failed to appear at ten
o'clock this forenoon, and the court is
sued bench warrant for his arrest. 1t
is understood that he claims to be sick,
and in order that no mistake might be
made, Deputy Sheriff Klughertz took
DIR. John M. Edwards with him to the
house.
The parties returned this afternoon
with the information that Wittmers is
confined to his home with an attack of

Edwin Bradley died at his home, zoos
South Front street, at 1880 o'clock last
evening, after an illness extending a
year. The cause of his death was tu-
bercular invOlvment of the glands of the
neck. For weeks past the end was ex-
pected at almost any time, but Mr..
Bradley's great vitality caused him to
cling to life longer than most of his
friends had hoped that he would be able
to.
Mr.. Bradley was historic figure in
the city. He was born at Utica, N. Y,
Sept. Ia, 1929, and in 1855 he located in
the mercantile business at Maquoketa,
Iowa. Two years later, with his brother,
William, he removed to Mankato and
engaged in the general merchandise bus
mess, conducting large store for many
years.
During the Sioux Indian outbreak in
1862, MIR. Bradley was appointed by
General Sibley marshal for the district
embracing Blue Earth and the counties
southwest of it, and rendered excellent
service. He was subsequently elected
alderman of Mankato, being a mem
Der of the first council that the city
ever had, serving in that capacity again
for two terms more recently and dis
charging the duties of the position with
fidelity.
Mr.. Bradley was Mankato's fifth may
or, serving for two terms, from 1879 un-
til 1881. He was elected county audi
tor in the fall of 1876, and served one
term. He also held a number of other
local offices. To all he brought his best
ability, and was faithful to the inter
ests of the people and the trust re-
posed in him. For number of years
past he conducted the grocery store on
South Front street.
The deceased was united in marriage
to Miss Jennie E. Colven in June, 1864,
who survives him. Mr.. Bradley enjoyed
a wide acquaintance and was universal
ly esteemed. His sterling qualities COM
mended themselves to all. He lived
busy and useful life, and his death is
deeply regretted, although it relieves
him of painful suffering. As mayor and
member of the council his voice and
vote were used to what he considered
right, and he played no favorites. He
was public spirited, and useful citizen.
The funeral services will be held at
the Presbyterian church Sunday at 2:3O
o'clock, and the interment will be made
at Glenwood cemetery

/. FARMERS ARE VICTIMS
Postoffiee Inspector Bird Discovers
Swindlinq Concern.

Milwaukee, Jan. l0.-Postoffice inspec.
tor Ralph Bird has discovered con-
certed attempt to defraud farmers, the
seat of which is either Ia Chicago, Mil
waukee, Minneapolis, St. Paul or Du-
buque, Ia, and which has been operated
from all the cities named. 1t is believed
that hundreds of farmers in the North
west have been mulcted out of produce
shipments whose value aggregate mil
lion dollars.
So far as is known at present, the
main portion of the scheme has been
worked in Milwaukee. Several discov-
cries have been made, however, showing
that Chicago, Minneapolis and st. Paul
people have also purchased the best of
farm products at unreasonably low
prices of late, through the benefcience-
of the swindlers.
Farmers have been flooded with circu-
lars from fictitious house, located as
is convenient to the swindlers. These
contain glowing promises of mythical
commission firm to sell products provid-
ed they are fresh and mice" at from l
to 5 cents above market prices to ''se-
lect class of customers
Farmers have taken the bait in large
numbers. None of them ever received
a cent from the recipients of the pro-
duce. The latter have sold them for any
price obtainable to anyone who happened
along.
Postoffice Inspector Bird, who has a
long record of daring captures of Of
tenders against the government, says he
has clues enough to be able to promise
arrests within few days.
