DEeF's DEFENSE

Part of Ii.

From Thursdays Daily.
Fred Deef will not furnish bond for
several days, as his relatives believe

clan concurs in this. This is also the
opinion of his sister, MISS Anna Deef,

self defense He will endeavor to show
that he was the party who was picked

justified by the exigencies of the case
1t is expected that the case will be
disposed of at the February term of the

CAPTAIN REED is BUSY
Still in the Railroad Business, Pro
NOTING New Line.

From Wednesdays Daily.
The disposition of the Alphabet road
to f. L. Tobie, or the interests he may
represent, did not entirely eliminate Cap
tain Reed of Glencoe from the field of
railroad activities, says The Albert Lea
Times. At least it is learned upon very
good authority that the captain, who
was formerly president of the Alphabet,
has not relinqushed the hope he cherish
ed of connecting Mankato with that
terrestrial paradise made famous by
Protector Knott and which for the con-
venience of school boys is designated on
the map as Duluth.
1t is said the captain has revived and
Irejuvenated corporation which has
long lain in inocuous desuetude and
which at one time was Known as the
Duluth & Southwestern, and whose pro-
jected course from Duluth to Mankato
closely follows the proposed route of the
Alphabet between those points and that
he will father movement to beat the
latter company in the construction of a
railroad along that line.
The new line will, therefore, be watch
ed with greater interest from now on
since it appears to be very profitable
and tempting field.
