After nICy years of active business
life, John Klein today disposed of his
large furniture and undertaking bust
ness to George Klein, his son, who will
conduct it alone in the future. The
firm hereafter will be known as John

John Klein has been at the same stand
for thirty-six years, and has always
been active, and the firm has grown
steadily from year to year.
Mr.. Klein came to Mankato from st.

toward the upbulding of this city than
he. His business methods have always
been honorable and his long business ca
reer has won him the highest esteem.
He retires from active business life with
a most enviable record.

Chief of Police Erickson has received a
letter from Jackson, Mimi, signed by
Thorn Edel, purporting to give tip on
an alleged murder in 1900 or 1901 in
Thief River Falls.
The letter stated that a wheat buyer
had been killed here and that resident
OF Kinbrae, Mimi, whose name the cor

Langseth farm. 1
About four or five years ago grain
buyer in an elevator at NOrthcote, north
of Hallock, on the Great Northern's st.

years old, smooth shaven, and wore an
old fashioned overcoat with a big collar.
He spent considerable time at saloon,

acting as any respectable German farm

Nothing strange was thought of the
matter.
Wednesday morning Linster went to
st. Peter, and lost no time in making
the acquaintance of John Konsbrock.
Konsbrock was anxious to sell his farm,
and a deal was made and LinSter gave
him check on the Iowa bank for $500
