Lysons died at her home in this city on
July A, 1907, of consumption. Deceased

ments in real estate at AIankato and
Madison Lake which proved disastrous,

physicians she lived out of doors as
much as possible and spent much of her
time on the lakes. A few months ago
she came to Watervillel in company with
her mother and a Mr.. Smith, life long
friend of the family, who hare done all
in their power to smooth the pathway
to the grave. Many of the ladies of
this city have assisted and comforted
her in her last days of hopeless illness.
All speak of the deceased in the high
est praise as a most excellent woman
and express regret that life which
promised so much should be rnthlessly
cut off. The funeral and interment was
at Elysian on Saturday, July 6.

LACK or INTEREST
Apathy Of North Mankato Delegation
Caused Tabling of Petition.

tTOIn L ueSudy ) 9Ddlly' ..zss4 3. g..
The petition that was presented to
the county board of Nicollet county last
week, asking that, the county surveyor
be instructed to meet with the county
surveyor of Blue Earth county and the
city engineer of Mankato for the pur-
pose of selecting the best site for the
location of a second bridge across the
Minnesota river, was tabled. The petit
ton may come up at the next meeting
in case a strong delegation from North
Mankato and Belgrade township appears
before the board and urges it.
1t is claimed in official circles In Mic
olIet county that no North Mankato
people signed the petition, and only a
few from Belgrade. Those North Man
kato people who appeared before the
board at the last meeting were not sat
isfed with the site proposed, near the
end of Liberty street, but wanted the
bridge located further down the river,
near Rock street. The delegation did
not act much as though they cared
whether the bridge was built or not, ac-
cording to the way the matter struck
the members of the board. There seem
ed to be lack of activity in on the
part of the North Mankato delegation.

MRS. ,STEDMAN'S DEATH
II Follows An Operation For Goitre
This Forenoon.
From Monday's Dali


Mrs. A. B. Stedman, whose home was
at 1922 South Front street, died at
1890 o'clock ethis' forenoon. She was
operated upon earlier in the morning for
goitre-the eXOphthalmic kind-but
having weak heart did not come out
from under the influence of the ehloro-
form, but passed peacefully away. She
had realized the seriousness of the case,
and made arrangements accordingly, but
took the chance of restoration to health
instead of lingering death, which
would have been the case without the
operation.
Mrs. Stedman was thirty-two years
of age. She was born in Eagle Lake
and her maiden name was Edith Zim-
norman, her parents being Mr. and Mrs.
A. S. Zimmerman, who now live in Ida
no. She was married to Mr.. Stedman
about ten years ago, and is survived by
him and their one child, Lois Ellis Sted-
man, three years old. The deceased was
of sunny disposition, good mother
and faithful wife, and possessed of a
large circle of warm friends who regret
her death. She had not been well for
a couple of years past, and last Sep
TENDER was operated upon for gall
stones, and again in January.
Funeral services will be held at the
residence Wednesday at l:3O p. m, and
the interment will be made at the Eagle
Lake cemetery.

ARREST OF RICHARD DALE
Story Told BY Sheriff Traxler To the
Newspaper Reporters.
From Tuesdays Daily.


This is the story of how Richard Dale
, was. arrested by Sheriff Traxler early
Sunday morning at-the Midway saloon
on the st. Peter road, as related by the
sheriff:
Deputies George Bauer and John Shea
arrived at the saloon at 10 p. IN. Sat
urday. They bought several drinks for
themselves. The beer was served in
unlabeled bottles. The deputies stuck
their pockets. The crowd was large,
and several women We're there. Sheriff
TraXler arrived at 1890 a m. Sunday
He ordered drink and paid for it. A
iff and shook hands with him. The bar
tenders went to the back room where
with friends that We're present they had
a private talk. After they returned
Sheriff Traxler placed the proprietor,
Richard Dale, under arrest This stirred
up quite a turmoil Dale at first offered
told him not to go. The sheriff wanted
to, place handcuffs on Dale who after
a little struggle consented to go. One
of the women who claimed to be a wife
of the bartender made up a story that
one of the deputy sheriffs insulted her
and offered to break his head open with
"a beer bottle but afterward only claim
ed that she will have the deputy arrest
this was a made up BLUR by the
woman and her followers in the build
ing.
At 2 a. M the sheriffs and Richard
Dale left for lie Sueur Center. At the
time of leaving the sheriff reported
many rigs coming from the direction, of
Mankato.
In the morning after they arrived at
lie Sueur Center Dale told the sheriff
that he was lucky that he did not shove
him harder while placing him into the
rig as that he had a gun in his hand
hid under the lap of his coat. Deputy
Shea remembers seeing Dale holding his
hand under the lap of his coat. Dale
told the deputies at the Jail that he
wished "he had them out on the
grounds; that they would make good
picking for a while
Dale was brought before Justice Davis
at p m. Monday and pleaded guilty
to selling liquor without license. The
justice committed the prisoner to await
the action of the grand jury Dale to
give a bail of $500 and in default of
the same to be committed to the coun-
ty jail until the September term of
court
The defendant afterward made appli
cation to the district court, through
the county attorney, for sentence and
was taken to Norwood, before Judge
Morrison to receive the sentence. The
sheriff. county attorney and the prisoner
departed last night for Norwood.

AVERAGE CROP is EXPECTED
Weekly Report is Made BY the North
western Experts.

-1.Winona, July l6.-The weekly crop
report from along the lines of the
Northwestern road, west of Winona,
shows generally encouraging conditions.
The report is as follows:
During the past week weather condi-
lions have been excellent for growing
crops on our line. General light rains
in South Dakota and Minnesota, and in
no place are we in need of rain, and yet
the week can be classed as generally
dry with moderate temperature-eXc
lent growing weather. AS result of
such good weather conditions, crops of
all kinds have made satisfactory
growth. Corn is doing nicely and it
now depends largely on month of Sep
TENDER, or a late frost, to produce a
corn crop. 1t is healthy, from twelve to
twenty inches high as it stands. Barley
and wheat are headed: oats nearly. all
headed, and all small grain looking
WELL Barley harvest will commence by
Aug l, followed by wheat and oats.
Many sensational reports have been
sent during past week. regarding green
bugs. We cab state there are no bugs
in South Dakota and western Mime
sota There are bugs in Redwood coun-
ty and a few east of here as far as
Rochester, and from Rochester to Wi
mona they have been quite numerous,
but in no case of location do we know
of any damage by .so-called green bugs.

PROFILE is PREPARED
Proposes New Road to Connect Glen
wood Avenue and Main Street.

l. fFff ~
City Engineer Haynes has prepared a
profile of proposed new road to East
Mankato, at the request of Kruse &
Coughlan, who own property on Agency
hill The road would run up the side
ravine that strikes off due east, just
before Willard Parkway is reached. 1t
would afford fine grade, and if a road
was to be constructed there it is be-
lieved that large part of the travel
east of the city would come into the
city that way rather than down Agency
hill The proposed road would be 2,l4O
feet long, land would have to be con
structed on side hill, which would
mean considerable expense, especially as
gutter ought to be constructed so as
to prevent the water crossing the road
and washing it out. The Silver ravine
road has demonstrated that side hill
road is liable to cause expense to keep
up. owing to caverns of dirt. The city
engineer has not yet ascertained wheth-
err the entire cost can be assessed on the
property benefited, but it is thought
that the right of way will be given free.

COLONEL BRIcE IN STRAITS
Texas Oil Man Is Said to Be Quite
Hard Up.
IA

The Fairmont Sentinel says: 1t is
claimed that Colonel w. f. Brice, the
promoter who built the Northwestern
road from Mason City to Sanborn, is in
financial straits. His house and lot is
mortgaged, and last winter the Colonel
was obliged to cut and put up ice for a
livelihood. This would indicate that the
Colonel did not make fortune out of
Texas oil as has been intimated m some
quarters. The Colonel now lives at Ma
son City. He cuts good deal of ice of
another kind when he was in the \public
eye at Fairmont.
Many Mankato people remember the
colonel and his Texas oil. They had
wondered what had became of the
