"Fixed" Beer.
Cash Taken From His Pockets |;
When Found Brain Was

From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
A young man named Harry Gleason,
giving his home as Munsey, Ind, and
his age nineteen, was cared for at the
police station last night. He had been
doped by hoboes and it was necessary
to call in a physician to treat him,
and it was feared at one time that
he might not survive.
Assisted to Police Station.
Fterday at the north end of the union
depot in a partially unconscious condi-
tion by Buff Williamson, the janitor,
who secured assistance and laid him
upon truck until he had finished his
work. Then the two young men as
sisted Gleason to the police station and
turned him over to the officers. Glea-
son was under the impression that the
young men were his prosecutors, and
begged them not to force him
to drink nor to 60 to the stockyards,
and not to take his money. He also
begged them not to choke him, and
asked as though he was choking and
was in pain.
Told Sad Story.
1t was one o'clock this morning be-
fore Gleason came to himself. Then
he told sad story of how he had
been doped and robbed. He said that he
came to Mankato yesterday from Wi
mona, on the passenger train, and if
he could not get work here was going
to Minneapolis. He was last en-.
ployed in a dairy in Owatonna, and
had little over 81 with him.
About two o'clock in the afternoon
Gleason says that he met the two ho-
boes and at their request for assis-
lance, he went up town and bought
them some bread and sausage. and re-
joined them at the Chicago and North
western stock yards. They had in the
meantime procured a can of beer.
They did not drink any themselves, but
said that they had done so, and wanted
Gleason to drink some. He refused,
saying that if he wanted ANYTHING
he would get it at saloon. One
then held him while the other held
the can to his mouth and forced
him to, drink. He struggled to get
away, but the men would not let
him go, and i'll few moments his
head was in whirl, and he has only
a very dim recollection of what hap.
pened. When he came to, he dis
covered that he had been robbed of his
money.
Who Are His Assailants?
Gleason states that one of his as
sailants was forty to forty-fve years
old, and the other not over twenty. He
thought that one of them was
man who in the morning wanted to sell
him ring. He could not give
very good description of them They
had wanted to borrow dollar of him,
but he had refused
Gleason has an honest appearing
face. He is small for his age. and
looks to be younger than nineteen.
He says that he has not been home
for two years.
Two Suspects Arrested.
just before noon today Chief Osten
arrested two men in the Northwestern
railroad stOckyards who answered the
description of Gleason's assailants.
They admitted having given Gleason
some beer, but denied that the beer
was doped, and denied also that they
robbed Gleason. The police are con-
Quoting an investigation.

ON OCEAN
ONE SURVIVES
Four Companions Drown and
Lone Sufferer Picked up
Almost Dead.

BEELINGHAM, Wash, Sept e.
After drifting helplessly about for
four days and nights in a launch on
the turbulent tide of the gulf OF
Georgia, James Taples was picked
up today by Captain J. Cookson OF
the Tug boat Nellie.
Taples, together with four other
companions left in the launch last
Friday for North beach. Saturday
evening the launch engine broke and
from that time on the launch drifted
about the water in a helpless con-
dition. The men saw the last Of
their provisions go that night. and
when Taples was found he was al
most dead from famine and exposure
and craving thirst for water. His
sifferings had affected his reason and
the only one now that he remembers
of his companions is a man by the
name OF Bebrit from Seattle. None
OF the other men have been found.
and it is presumed that they either
succumbed to famine and exposure
or that their sufferings drove them
mad and that they took their own
lives by leaping into the water and
drowning.

The democratic state convention met
this morning, and the feature of
the session was an address made by
Judge Alton b. Parker. Judge Park

president, the country had been
burdened by the creation of 80. 900
federal Office holders. which repre-
sents cost annually of $4,000, 600.
He attributed the existence of so
many of the trusts to the hight tariff
wall built up under the republican
administrations, and said that as
long as this practice was continued
the trust would prosper and grow,
and that the beneficaries of this tariff
system were now furnishing the
funds for the republicans to conduct
their campaign.

PROFITS ARE LESS
Mail Order Houses Hit BY Hard
Times.

CHICAGO. Sept. l6.-That the big
Chicago mail order houses were hard
hit by the recent hard times Is shown
by the annual report OF Sears, Roe
buck q Company. the largest concern
of its kind in the world. The net
profits for the last year fell short
million dollars from the preced-
ing year. and there was a falling or
of almost 30 per cent in net sales.
A home industry, crusade has been
carried on throughout the central
west during the last year or two. and
1t is possible that this movement, as
well as the hard times. may have
had its influence upon the mail
trade.
The report shows that the COM
pany's net sales amounted to s4O,-
S4S. sec, or $s.s7S.S7S less than
those for the previous year. while
dividends received from Investments
involved sS9,6S6. or $l8,SS2 more
than those recorded for the preceding
year. making a total net income of
$4O,9sS.552. or $9,s6O,O9l less than
that for the fiscal year ended June
80. 1907.
Expenditures for interest and de-
precation charges involved $685.
756, or $s.656.ss5 less than similar
expenditures for the previous year,
leaving net profits of $2.O34,796. or
$1.2O3,706 less than those for the
fiscal year ended June 80, 1907.
