GIVES UP HIS ARTIFICIAL LEG
Crookston Had Held the Member"
in Pawn Several Years.

/ Crookston, June 7.-After holding
a mans leg as hostage for four years
Chairman Sargent of the poor commit
tee of the city of Crookston yesterday
forwarded the leg to Emil johnson of
Chicago, the owner, who in the mean
time has been getting along the best
he could with only one peg.
Four years ago when c. E. Misner
now of Pasadena, Cal, was chairman
of the, poor committee, Johnson drop
ped into Crookston from Winnipeg. He
had just lost leg in railway acct
dent and had purchased a $50 artif
cial substitute. He was penniless and
wanted this city to give him fare to
Duluth. Misner was obdurate and said
he would send him back across the
Canadian border where he belonged.
johnson did not want to go that way
and offered to leave his leg here as
security till the money for the fare
to Duluth was refunded.
Misner agreed and the leg was held
here. The money was never forward
ed and it was finally decided to send
johnson his. leg.

DID GIRL DO ELOPE STUNT
ST. Cloud DamseI Believed to Have
Skipped With Carnival Man.

Leaving her clothes and money at
the home of H. j. Haskamp where
she was employed as servant girl,
Miss Ella Swenson of Little Falls has
disappeared. 1t is believed that she
eloped with a member OF, The Parker
Carnival company, says The st. Cloud
Journal Press.
The girl attended the carnival every
night and became acquainted with one
of the workmen. The two became in
fatuated with each other. The servant
did not get into the house until one or
two o'clock in the morning and was
reprimanded by Mrs. Haskamp. She
objected seriously to this and stated
that if she could not 60 and come as
she pleased she would 90 elsewhere.
On Saturday night the girl again went
to the carnival. Shortly after one
o'clock she and her lover were heard
talking on the back porch. Since That
time nothing has been seen of her.
The members of the Haskamp fam
lily were not much alarmed when the
girl did not put in an appearance and
believed that she would return. Miss
Swenson did not show up at all that
day and has not been seen since. 1t
is believed without doubt that tne
carnival man persuaded the girl to
run away with him and That the two
have gone to Minneapolis.
The mother of the girl, who resides
at Little Falls, will be notified imme.
diately and an effort made to locate
the girl
Miss Swenson has been in the lime
light in this city before. Last fall she
gave birth to child at the local hos
pital. She remained there a few week:
and one day ran away from the insti-
tuition leaving the baby behind. 1t
was some time before she was located
by the police.
Miss Swenson refused to take the
child and it was adopted by family
at Waite Park

FARMERS LIVE TOPICS
INSTITUTE TO BE HELD IN MAN
kATO ON JUNE 10.
Meeting to &c at A. o. u. w. Hall, In
teresting and instructive Lectures
BY the Experts.
From Fridays Daily.


The Free Press is very glad to note
that there is to be farmers institute
at Mankato on June 10. The wonder
full strides made in farming and stock
raising during the past few years are
due very largely to the widespread dis
tribution of information along the
various branches of agriculture. A
knowledge of the experiences of sue
cessful farmers is worth money to
every other farmer engaged in his line
of farming. In this day and age when
it is necessary to change from one type
of farming to another it is of the
greatest value to the beginner in fruit,
live stock or other new undertaking to
get the views and experience of older
hands at the business.
The farmers Institutes are designed
to bring farmers together to exchange
ideas and to help each other. The reg
ular institute speakers are practical
farmers and farm home makers, and
can be of material assistance to every
tiller of the soil in the community.
The best farmers are the men who
know something about the things 9th
ers are doing and it has been noticed
many times that the brightest and
most successful farmers are always
present at these gatherings.
The meetings will be held in A. O..
L. w. hall, at 10 a. m. and 80 p. m.

GOOD LUCK OF FISHERMEN
Many Mankato People Were at Lake
Madison Yesterday.

From wednesday Dally.
Quite a few Mankato people tried
their luck at the lakes yesterday, and
most of them met with success, for
the weather was well suited for the
fish to bite.
A party composed of H. S. Holman,
Adolph Holman, Will Price, w. j.
Flachsenhar and P. H. Jordan landed
some black beauties and other fish at
Lake Francis. Mr.. Holman's biggest
bass weighed five pounds.
1t is related that one party landed
thirty eight black bass at Lake Francis
yesterday.
Bennett Williams and d. B. Ewart
brought home fine string of pickerel
and croppies from Lake Madison. They
say the pickerel bit fine.
Mr. and Mrs. c. L. Kennedy and son.
Gordon, enjoyed the fishing from a
dock at Madison, and Mrs. Kennedy
succeeded in landing nineteen, includ
ing one black bass. Mr.. Kennedy did
not get bite, so he did not break
his record yesterday.
Several Mankato fishermen got left
last evening at Madison and Francis
lakes, as the Great Western train as
tonished everybody by being on time.
Mrs. w. NJ. Taylor and children yes
terday moved into the Brett cottage
on Point Pleasant for the summer.

SOUGHT BEST LEGAL TALENT
But Lloyd Did Not Have the Coin to
Pay For IL.

F. A. Lloyd, the husband of Aimee
Lloyd, formerly of Winona, is still
in Jail at Rochester, his case having
been continued to Sept s, when it
will be tried by jury. His bail
was fixed at $500 by Judge Snow.
Lloyd faces the charge of having been
an accomplice of his wife in passing
worthless checks at Rochester, Theodore
Schacht, city justice and Irwin Eek
holdt, both of Rochester, have been
appointed by the court to represent
the defense.
An interesting phase of the case
was the fact that at the preliminary
hearing, Lloyd refused to call upon
a Rochester attorney. He sent mes
sages to a prominent Winona lawyer,
asking him to come and receiving no
reply wired Chief of Police O'Connor
of st, Paul asking him to send down
one of the best st. Paul attorneys.
One of the states best lawyers was
sent but this attorney set his charges
at $3.50 in case he defended the pris-
oner. In reality, it is said, Lloyd
has but $40 and of course could not
use the man. The attorney returned
to st. Paul. Lloyd sent a second
message to O'Connor asking that five
of the best attorneys names be sent
but received no further reply. As
last resort Lloyd sent message
to prominent Winona man asking
him to send an attorney but forgot to
mention the all important matter of
compensation and Lloyd got no ans
wer. The court then appointed at
torneys to defend him.

From Mondays Daily.
This is the sad but exciting story
of the landing of two fine bass by a
minister assisted by game warden,
and the subsequent landing of the
minister by the game warden unas-
sisted r..... ....... .......
Meager details are given above; COM
plete details follow.
Rev. w. Nj. Stone, the victim, is a
pastor at Westbrook and is well
known over this section. He was at
one time pastor of church at Elysian
and while so engaged became an ar
dent disciple of Isaac Walton. So
Mr.. Stones returns are frequent to the
scenes of his former labors-or more
properly speaking, scenes of his pleas
ures.
Yielded to Temptation s..
Last Friday, thinking to add to the
excitement, to make the most of his
time and possibly to win champion
ship, Rev. Mr. Stone yielded to a
temptation. He had on previous
occasion been fined for violating the
fish laws, but nevertheless could not
resist temptation to fish with four
lines, all of which is in violation of
the statutes in such cases made and
provided.
Game Warden p. H. Jordan had
heard of Mr.. Stones weakness in this
direction and going to Elysian for
the express purpose, was gratified in
measure to sight the preachers
smack in secluded part of the lake.
Mr.. Jordan arranged a fringe of gray
tinged with auburn under his chin
and set sail to overtake the pirate
craft" He reconoitered while, fin
ally pulled up alongside and half
suppressed "aha!" escaped him wnen
he saw four lines from the minister's
boat, dangling in the water.
Discussion Was Interrupted.
The discussion which began was un-
usually quiet for one of the kind when
two sudden strikes at two of the
lines created excitement. Both the
minister and the officer forgot the
efforts to land two fine specimens
of bass. In this they were successful
and the disposal of the spoils was
agreed upon but it failed to restrain
the officer from entering formal
complaint against the vlolator OF the
game laws. ...
Rev. Mr.. Stone was arraigned before
Judge William Warburton, and the
accusations of the game warden being
established, was compelled to pay a
fine of $40 together with the costs
of prosecution.
Thus endeth the second chapter of
the misfortunes of an ardent disciple.

THIRTY DAYS FOR LARCENY
Raymond J. Donahsr Gets or With q
Very Light Sentence.
Fri ov'c DoiIv


Raymond j. Donaher got off lightly
for his crime of grand Larceny in the
second degree, especially in view OF
his past record. Judge Quinn this af-
ternoon sentenced him to serve thirty
days in Jail as punishment for the
offense of burglarizing the money draw
er in store.
Before receiving his sentence, Dona
her promised Judge Quinn that he
would behave himself in the future
and not get into any more trouble
After passing sentence, the court re-
marked to the youthful prisoner That
he was no doubt surprised at the slight
sentence imposed, and it was probably
less than he had expected to receive,
but he must carry out his promise.
The jury in the case of Gottlieb w.
Beschnitt VS.. Ferdinand +. Benzel
agreed upon verdict for the defendant
at ten o'clock last night.
The suit of Lawrence King VS.. Pa

OBITUARY.

Welcome, Wis, Independent: 1t is
with a feeling of sympathy that we
are called upon to write few words
in the death of Marie, the only daugh-
ter and Mr.. and Mrs. Hugh ID. Edwards
who was sick number of DAYS
Everything was done that medical aid
and loving hands could do, but to ne
avail and on Saturday morning, June
6, her little soul departed this life
to dwell with Christ, who said "Suf
fer little children to come unto me and
forbid them not for such is the king
dom of Heaven" We feel the deep
grief of the sad hearted parents and
other relatives in their great bereave-
ment; but the Lord who doeth all
things well and he never directs any
thing for his children except in inf
mite love. His purposes of grace may
ripen in a better way under this
cross than without it.

CAN BE SEPARATED
Some Mankato People Have Learned
How to Get Rid of Both.
Backache and kidney ache are tw

brothers.
You can't separate them.
And you can't get rid of the back
ache until you cure the kidney ache.
If the kidneys are well and strong
the rest of the system is pretty sure
to be in vigorous health.
Doan's Kidney Pills make strong
healthy kidneys.
Anthony Guehl, living on Main St.
st. James, Mimi, says: 81 have suf-
fered for several years from pains in
my back and loins. At times these were
so severe rs to be almost unbearable
1t was impossible for me to sleep as
the trouble always seemed to be more
severe when lying down. My kidneys
were so weak that | was compelled to
arise many times during the night, and
the loss of sleep greatly interfered
with my general health. | tried many
different remedies but did not get per-
manent relief until | saw Doan's Kid
ney Pills advertised, and procured a
box. | used them as directed and no.
ticed great change for the better in
my condition, continued taking them
and the results were satisfactory in
every way. l am not compelled to
arise once during the night now and
my back gives me but little trouble
l am going to continue using Doan's
Kidney Pills, and am glad to recon-
mend them to other sufferers of kidney
complaint"
