WORD FROM Mr.. MCCONNELL
Has Something 70 Say Anent Tuber-
culois Afflicted Cattle.

La Crosse. Wis, Jan. l3.-To the
Editor of The Pree Press: Clippings
from your paper have fallen into my
hands in which | learn that there has
been Il number of cows condemned IN
your packing house for tuberculosis. As
the name of the herd was withheld |
feel it Just and due the milk vendors III
your city that the facts be given the
public, and that others be relieved OF
the stigma that may indirectly be at
tached to their herds. These cattle were
from the Minneopa herd There are,
however, some grave errors in the pub
lished statements. Five of these cows
were afflicted in such way it caused
us to suspect tuberculosis. They were
kept in a separate, detached pasture,
and were not in the milking herd. Tu-
berculin was secured from the state au-
thorities and arrangements made for
testing them, but owing to the contin-
uous absence of the writer it was
thought best to slaughter them. They
were not sold for food or any other
purpose, excepting the steer. Those that
slaughtered them will verify this state
ment. The published statment says the
steer had been recently added to the
herd. This is an error, as he was born
on the farm four OF five years ago and
had never been off it. Likewise that
diseased cattle had been sold the same
parties before. This is news to the
writer During the years that Mime
opa farm sold milk to families in the
city of Mankato the herd was tested
and under the constant care OF COM
petent veterinarian, who was employed
by the year. Half or more of the pres
ent herd were brought from st. Paul
about two years ago when they were
tested. All of this, however, is of but
little interest to the public. At The earl.
lest opportunity the herd will be rctest
ed and during the meantime milk or
cream will not be offered for sale. The
vital question is not the loss of few
cows. The desire of every good citizen
should be the safeguarding of the public
health and every possible effort should
be made in this direction No one will
be more earnest and loyal in assisting
the local authorities in bringing this
about than the undersigned. We should
go further. Our present legislature
should pass stringent laws making it a
misdemeanor for anyone to sell breed
ing stock that has not passed an exam.
nation and that does not carry a clean
bill of health. There is no doubt but
failure in doing this is prolific source
IN sending this dreaded disease broad.
cast all over the state. Yours respect.

HAUNTED BY "23 +"
"Skidoo" Man Arrested Again and
Served With Divorce Papers.

Chauncey +. Doe, the "skidoo' man,
got into more trouble last evening. After
he lad paid his double fine of $23 in
the police court i'm the afternoon he took
Il few more drinks and then went to his
home only to find that "23" was on the
door. The family refused him admit
tnce, and then he stood AROUND for an
hour, making the air blue with his Ian
guage. The language was strong, but it
did not open the door, SO he got an axe
and started in on the barn door for prac-
tice. The police were notified and Of
ficer Robb landed him in the lookup,
raising the seige and stopping the as
sauIt that the old soldier was execut-
ing.
When the man was searched a big
rock, as large as would possibly go in
his overcoat pocket, was found there
Whether it was to have been used OH the
door if the axe failed, or for what pur
pose it was to have been used is UNI
known. The mans son, who lives in
Sanborn, called up the police station and
said that he would arrive today to see
what could be done about taking him
there to live. The old gentleman draws
pension of $50 a month.
While locked up today, the officers
served divorce papers upon him, in an
action begun by his wife. 1t was the
third "23 for him." and was the final
blow.
Doe was arraigned before the court
this forenoon, charged with drunkenness,
second offense. He was very meek as
compared with his appearance yester-
day, and w. r. Geddes appeared as his
attorney. His son was also with him,
and stated that he would take the old
/, gentleman to Sanborn with him to live
|, This being the case, the court continued
the case for three months and allowed
Doe to 90 upon his own recognizance.
Doe said that he had taken no drinks
since his arraignment yesterday, but adj
mitted that he was drunk yesterday, and
said that he was still under the in
firence of the liquor when he was ar
raigned.
This afternoon Doe skiddooed the town
The divorce case brought by Does
wife is based on the allegation that he
is an habitual drunkard.

the Counties.
From FRIDAYS Daily.

From FrlQaVS DallV.
Senator S. d. Works has introduced
a bill in the senate providing for the
extension of the Torrens system of land
title registration to all of the counties
of the state. Under the present law
Ramsey, Henepin and st. Louis counties
have the option of adopting the law, and
the success which has attended its oper-
alton in those counties led to the intro
duction of this bill. In a recent decision
in the Ramsey county district Judge w.
L. Kelly highly commended the ToTens
system as the best system for the regis
tration of land titles. The bill intro
duced by Senator Works makes it OPP
tional with the other counties to adopt
the system.

FIRST TRAIN INTO FREEDOM

The good people of Freedom and Wv
ian witnessed sight last Friday they
had long dreamed of but none but the
most optimistic and hopeful ever that
they would see. This was nothing less
than mighty train of cars rolling
across the prairies of Vivian. This train
consists of a mogul engine No. l29 be-
longing to the Chicago Milwaukee &
st. Paul Railway company with a board
nailed on its sides on which was written
LEASED to the ID. st. c. G. & NJ. Ry.
Co." In front of this engine were three
flats loaded with |. c. rails ahead of the
flats track laying machine enclosed
with rough lumber to protect the men
from the cold
Then came three box cars, another
engine followed their train to be on
hand in case of emergency. There was
a contrivance on one side of the train
track laying machine and another on the
other side that ran the rails forward
where they were caught up by gang
of workmen about seventy-five in num-
Der and carried into place. Behind the
train was another crew of about fifty
men boiling the couplings and driving
spikes, every man working as if his
very life depended upon reaching Plum
Valley by the first of January. The
train starts from Aroert Lea at D a. m.
loaded with a mile and half to two
miles of ties and rails. When these are
laid down which is about 2:30 p. M, it
returns to Albert Lea for another load
for the next day. The road bed is in
a very incomplete condition, but when a
culvert is reaced that is not filled suffi-
cient ties are thrown in to fill it up, two
rails laid down and the train pushes on
over. On the Stienagle farm there is
a fill that is not finished so they curved
to the right threw the track down on
the prairie grass. went down the hill
filled the ditch at the bottom of the
ravine with ties and pushed on up the
hill. Experienced track layers are at
the head of this gang Men who have
built railroads on the wild and woody
prairies of the west before. Men whose
minds are sufficiently expansive and
resourceful to overcome every difficulty
that may arise. The track is III a
terriable condition, the rails being bent
up and down and in and out so that one
would think no engine would dare to 60
over it. Notwithstanding this, the en-
gineer told the reporter on the way back
for their three o'clock dinner he made
sixteen miles all hour, the great iron
horse bounding and rolling like Il ship

taken to the prairie sod several times
but they have full equipment with
them and soon get it back onto the track
again. 1t is understood the tracklaying
will continue to Bull Run bridge when
the gravel train will be started if the
weather holds good and the material
holds out.

Red Wing, Mimi, Jan. 15.-One of
the worst tragedies ever enacted in Red
Wing took place about $40 p. M,
when August Bloom, an insane barber,
shot Chief of Police James Daily and
Police Officer John Peterson, resulting
in the probably fatal wounding of
Daily and the serious and possibly ia
tai injury of Peterson.
Bloom is still at large and there is
fear that other victims may fall before
his weapon before he is captured.
Bloom returned to the city in the
morning from Minneapolis, where he
has been for the past year doing man.

custody of officers who were taking
him to the Hastings asylum for the in.
sane by transfer from the Rochester
asylum.
He had threatened several persons
and when the two officers found him at
the Sibley hotel and Chief Daily asked
him about the threats, Bloom threat
ened the chief and when the latter
drew his club and advanced upon
Bloom the later shot Daily in the left
shoulder and also in the abdomen.
Leaping over the PROSTATE form of the
chief, Bloom shot Officer John H. Pc
terson and then rushed out into the
night.
Chief of Police Daily is known to Il
number of Mankato people. He has been
at the head of the Redwing police de-
partment for many years and his adj
ministration was always satisfactory to
the citizens. He is capable officer.
Rowing, Jan. l5.-August Bloom, who
last night shot and fatally wounded
Chief of Police James Daily and Patrol
man John Peterson, was arrested today
in house on the outskirts of the city
Bloom was found asleep and was cap
tured by posse of officers and secure
~ bound before he could make an eff
fective resistance, although loaded re.
volvers were at his side, left there in
anticipation of possible visit from the
police. Both Daily and Peterson were
still alive at noon today although there
is no hope for the recovery of either.
