suspected party of Mankato young

Will HOLD A BIG PICNIC
GERMAN = AMERICAN CENTRAL
BUND TO ARRANGE AFFAIR.
Most Likely Be the Largest Event OF
Kind Ever Held in Blue Earth
County. .

What promises to be one of the
largest picnics ever held in Blue Earth
county will be that one under the aus
pieces of the German-American Central
bund, the arrangements for which
will probably be attended to by the
Mankato branch of the society. 1t is
understood that the Mankato society
will hold regular meeting on Friday
evening and the picnic proposition will
be discussed at that time. Societies
in the several towns in the county
will be invited to attend the picnic
and festivities incident thereto. 1t is
proposed to hold the picnic some time
this month.
The German American Central bund
is quite a formidable organization and
will cut considerable figure in the re-
suit of the election this fall so far
as legislative Candidates are concerned.
The society is opposed to county option
and no one but those legislative can
didates who agree with the platform
adopted by this organization can eX-
peXt to receive the votes of the mem
bership. !.
1t is underTtood that at meeting
of the Mankato branch, held few
weeks ago, several candidates for the
legislature were present of their own
volition and made brief speeches as to
how they stood on the question.
The society has not endorsed any
particular candidates and so far as The
Free Press can learn, it does not in
tend to do so having the members free
to vote as they please, but keeping
in mind the opposition to county option.
Julius Moersch of st. Paul, who is
understood to be one of the prominent
officers of the society in st. Paul, was
in Mankato today. He had nothing
to say politically. q

AGED WOMAN is FOUND DEAD
Deeomposed Body Discovered in Her
APARTMENTS at New RIchIand

New Richland, Sept. 4.-Entirely alone
and from causes unknown Mrs. Thomp-
son, died several days ago in her
rooms in the second story of the j. H.
Wightman building on Broadway. The
body was not discovered until We'd
nesday a little before noon although
death in all probability had occurred
four or five days previous.
The discovery of the body was made
by E. o. Garrison whose store adjoins
the Wightman building on the north.
Mrs. Thompson had been missed by.
the neighbors but it was thought she
had gone to visit her brother, Peter O.
Helle, in Otisco. Mr.. GARRISON and
others noticed very bad stencil com
ing from the building occupied by Mrs.
Thompson and on Wednesday Mr.. Gard
son started to investigate. He entered
the rooms and began search expect
ing to find some decayed meat. He
found nothing in the Kitchen or bed
room but noticing a door leading into
a store room, he. thought to look in
there. The door was pushed slightly
open and the old lady's feet were all
that he could see. Mr.. Carlson took
in the situation at once and proceeded
to notify others. A ladder was placed
to a window and the badly decomposed
body of Mrs. Thompson was the grue
some sight that met the eyes of those
who went to look. Mrs. Thompson was
seen Friday last and it is believed her
death occurred not later than Saturday,
