ON THE SQUARE
Lottery viii Be Held to Dispose CT
Fuptiey, Mont, Lands.

Washington, d. c., June pa
fair and square lottery will be con-
Quoted in the disposition of the
Huntley, Mont, lands which are to be
opened under the irrigation project ON
June 26 and July %, respectively.
Although there are strong laws
against conducting lotteries or draw
ings where prizes are awarded, it
does not appear that these laws run
against Uncle Sam himself.
On June 26 the secretary of the in
terror will be in Billings, and the
drawing of the envelopes filed will be
gin. Fifteen hundred names will be
drawn, and the people will be mott
fed in order in groups of so, to make
entries on given day, beginning
about July % and continuing until
633 entries have been made. No per
son shall be allowed to file more than
one application.
Just how the general land office
will get around the following from the
United States postal regulations Is
not explained:
No letter, postal card or circular
concerning any lottery, or other SINH
lar enterprise, offering prozes depart
ment upon lot or chance, and no list
of the drawings at any lottery or sim
liar schemes shall be carried IN the
mail"
The lands in the Huntley project
will be opened under new drawing
system, differing from that which was
used during the drawing of the Rose
bud lands in South Dakota and the
Red Lake lands in Minnesota three
years ago this summer.
This new system, in the opinion OF
Commissioner Ballinger of the gener-
al land office, will be much SIMPLER
and less expensive than the Old plan.

DIDN'T SAY 1T
Day, Ii Seems, Didn't Announce
Governors Candidacy.

From Tuesdays Daily.
The Pioneer Press says that Frank
A. Day, secretary to Governor John
A. Johnson, upon arrival from west
ern trip yesterday denounced as false
the statement attributed to him in
dispatches from Omaha in which he
officially launched the bottom of Gov
eInor Johnson for the democratic
presidential nomination.
The dispatch quoted Mr. Day as
saying he was authorized to announce
that the governor is candidate for
the presidential nomination. The
statement attributed to Mr. Day was
in part, "The governor himself has
held back and declined to make his can
didacv known until this time. | am
authorized, however, to say that he
lis in the race for good
81 made no such statements" said
Mr.. Day yesterday. what | did say
was just the opposite of what | am
quoted as saving. / said that Cover
nor johnson was being talked of quite
generally as the democratic candidate
for president but that he was not in
the field and further that he had re-
ouested his friends not to do any
thing which would keep up the agita-
ton. I did not say that | was author
lied to make the announcement be-
cause | had no such authority"
When Governor Johnson was asked
about the story he stated that Mr.
DAILY was in his office and would ex-
plain the matter. He did say, how
ever, that he did not believe that any

make any such statement and he in

dacv for the nomination and what
is being written on the subject is
beyond my power to control. | GER
tainly am not encouraging it"

Ter than have any power company add
so much to its own plant and simply sell
the power outright.
As IA starter, the company will have
from FIVE to eight cars. An mterurban
line to Kasota viii require about twelve
cars.
The syndicate itself completed its or
gitpization about ten days ago. 1t con-
sists of W. L. Hfxon, Fred Kron, George
NJ. Palmer, w. d. Willard, H. A. Pat
terson, f. j. Hoerr, H. E. Hance and
NJ. C.. Ewing of Wausau, Wis.
A large share of the credit for the
successful contamination of the project
of the street railway is due to the Com
mercial club. That organization early
interested itself in the movement and
took an active part in getting subscrib-
ers. It's committee were tireless and took
care to see that no stone was left I'M
turned to obtain a subscription.
The following are the new subscrib
ers, who came forward with the required
81, 900 and saved the day:
4. R. Coughlan, 800; Captain /. n.
Holmes, $780, L. Hauck, $50; Rosen
berger & Currier, $3.50; DR.. Z. G. Har-
rineton. 500; S ID. Works, 500; L..
G. NJ. Fletcher, 800; Joseph Manderfeld,
500; H. Warren Baker, $780, A. w.

Cooper, 800; Mrs j. H. Spencer, 5000;
Wheeler & Bennett, 500, and j. B. Mel
sen, 500.
The list of those who have subscrib-
ed for the company's stock has already
been given in The Free Press. The sub
scribers agree to pay down one-half the
amount subscribed after the road has
half miles and the remainder after it has
been built over all the five miles.

FOR EMF 0RCEMENT OF LID
Warrants Have Been Issued for the
Assailants; Twenty in the
Deal.
From Tuesdays Daily

From Tuesdays Daily.
A warrant was issued out Of Judge
Candles court Monday morning fol
the arrest of two If the leading citizen:
of Fox Lake lItnoe-V ai"ntInc Ersch
field is charged with assault and battery
and G. w. Bigley with using indecent
abusive and threatening language to c
L Blaneher, justice of the peace. The
warrant was placed IN the hands OF
sheriff Ward Monday forenoon.
For some time complaints have been
heard against the wide open policy
pursued at Fox Lake. Wine, women and
song specially the two former-seem-
ed to win many of the male population
away from even the good fishing to be
had in the queen of the Martin county

almost at the foot of Main street The
constable did not act in the matter and
Justice Blancher, who is said to be
backed by the law and order element OF
the community, asked him to resign. lie
did so but the town board has not met
to act upon the same. In the absence OF
a peace officer the Justice has been do
ing little police duty.
At about eleven O'Clock Saturday
night; it is alleged, he was set upon by
about dozen men who threatened to
go so far as to hang him and Bigley
went into his saloon and brought out
a rope and Erschfeld struck OF showed
the Judge about.
He did not scare and would not be
run out. He came to town and Sc
cured the warrants as above stated
Those fellows of Fox Lake are either
crazy or know not what they do \
Justice of the peace is also police
officer and has more authority than a
sheriff. Not only the county stands
behind him, but the great state of Min
nesota. and behind the state the nation
if need be.
Our advice to Fox Lake and every
other town is to gracefully accept the
lid-all towns have to do 1T In Mime
sofa now-and above all don't be SO
foolish as to Interfere with an officer
and especially a justice of the peace
in the discharge of his duty. No law
abiding community will tolerate any
thing of the kind. Laws are made to
be obeyed and anything in the nature
of deliberate lawlessness will not GO
in this section of the state.

Money Has Been Subscribed and Engineer
Will Be Here To Make Surveys This
Week, For New Street Car Line

Mankato will have street car line.
Within the next few days crew of
workmen viii be seen on South Front
street tearing up the pavement and
making ready the way for the tracks.
In order to hold the franchise this work
must actually be begun by July l. Up to
a late hour yesterday it was doubt
full whether the necessary amount of
subscriptions could be raised to make
the project a 90, but the last 500 was
subscribed late in the afternoon.
As announced in Monday evenings
Free Press, the committee that was
soliciting funds was still $4,000 short
of getting the $4,000 raised by sub
scription, as required for the building of
the line. The syndicate stood ready to
put in its $4,000, but unless the rest
could be raised by Tuesday night, the
whole project was doomed to fall
through. 1t was absolutely necessary
to be in a position to order materials
today A telegram was sent by the
syndicate today to Engineer Haskell of
the Knox Engineering company of Chi
caoo to order the materials at once, and
also to come next week and superin-
tend the construction of the line. Mr..
Haskell may not be on hand just when
the work starts but he will be here be-
fore it has gone very far.
The syndicate today purchased one
car load of wooden poles on which to
string the wires. The purchase was made
from Monks & Mckinley at S7.35 per
pole This was the figure given by the
engineer by wire from Chicago, and
Monks & Mckinley, who happened to
have the poles on their hands, decided
to meet this figure The poles lie just
back of the old Grannis feed store on
Cherry street.
