Well Known St. Peter Hotel Man
Crosses the Dark River.
From FRIDAYS Daily.

ST. Peter Tribune: The sudden death
on Monday morning of Herman Spor-
ing came as great shock to our
citizens and the news of his death
caused much sorrow among his large
circle of acquaintance. Mr.. Sporting
had been great suffer from asthma
for years and the immediate cause of
his death was uraemia. Sunday even
ing he had complained of feeling
badly and physician was called who
administered to his relief. At about
1870 Monday morning he had another
attack and the physician was again
called, but death came quickly and
the soul of Herman Sporting passed
on to the hands of his Maker just
as day was breaking in the east and
the busy world was waking to another
day of struggles and cares.
Mr. Sporting had lead an active bust
ness life in our little city for many
years, and will be greatly missed by
our business men as we'll as the
travelling public in general with whom
ne was ever popular.
Deceased was born in Bremerhafen,
Germany, Dec. s, 1850 and came to
this country in 1869 when lad l9
years of age. He settled in New York
City. and after the death of his father
In The old country, was joined by his
mother who made her home with him
for many years. NREwWI lH
In 1871 he was united in marriage
in New York City to Ernestine NAL
mo and on Sept. 81, 1879 they came
to st. Peter where they have since
made their home. In 1880 he went
into business for himself. About
eleven years ago he became owner of
the Nicollet hotel property and has
had charge of the same off and on
ever since.
Deceased was member of the Ma
sonic and Sons of Herman lodges
and charter member of the Knights
of Pythias. He is survived by his
wife and one daughter and two grand
children, Sibley and Julia Sackett. A
brother who made his home in st.
Peter at one time died about fifteen
ears ago and is buried here.
Mr.. Sporting had received fine
education in Germany and welded an
ever ready pen. He was for many
years contributor to German peri
odical printed in the east and his con-
tributions were held in high regard by
the readers.
The funeral will be held at two
o'clock this afternoon from the Nicol-
let house and the services will be
under the auspices of the Masonic
lodge Rev. Willard d. Stirres rector
of the Episcopal church will give the
funeral sermon and the ladies quar-
tette consisting of Mrs. F. P. Stra-
thern, Mrs. NJ. A. Anderson, Mrs. NJ.

Exciting Matinee Was Held at the
Fair Grounds Yesterday.
ROLAND Mckinney WINNER
Lady Option Acquits Herself Credita-
bly, In the 2.2O Pace; Summary
Of Several Events.
From Tuesdays Daily.

Rivalry in the last matinee of the
season pulled off yesterday afternoon
at the fair grounds track conferred be-
tween two fine, highly bred stations
Roland Mckinney, owned by William
WoodalI of Madelia and ]. r. Wood
ford, owned by F. Schoffman, of st.
James.
Some time ago the rivalry reached a
pitch where silver cup trophy was
put up by admirers of both horses
to be awarded to the horse winning
two or three matched races. Each
horse had won race and those in
terested wanted to have the third and
deciding match here. Accordingly, some
local horsemen arranged the meet held
yesterday.
Won BY Roland Mckinney.
The cup-and yesterdays race, of
course,-was won by Roland Mckinney
in two straight heats. The result,
however, was not as satisfactory as it
would have been had Woodford been
in good condition. The trophy goes
to Mckinney but nevertheless Wood
ford made a good showing, handling
himself very well. No time was given
out inasmuch as there was no desire
to give either horse mark, but it
is said that the heats were made in
better time than any raced before.
Both horses are young animals and
both are green horses.
The two other events on the matt
nee program were Free For All and
a 2:2O pacing class.
Three Straight Heats.
The first was won by Wiltomont in
three straight heats This horse won
easily despite the fact that his driver
held him all the time. William Duffy's
Alice Medium got second easily, show
ing herself easily capable of IA or
better. The summary: g.. .."

The crowd witnessing the races was
not up to the average in size. There
were, however, goodly number of
st. James and Madelia people who came
up to attend the the matinee and also
to hear the McCleary Hammond de-
bate.

A PICTURESQUE PLAY
 OF THE GOLDEN WEST
To Be Presented at the Vance Audi torium Monday Evening Next.

The Little PTospector" which will be given at the Vance Auditorium on Monday night of next week has met with much success and is spoken of very highly wherever 1t has been pre- scented. and is one that Is calculated to afford a great deal of pleasure to a number of people, Involving a pleasing story told in a simple and unaffected manner. Chic" Perkins as the inter- preter of the leading role, is a well born eastern girl, a most enthu- siastic actress and enters into the spirit of the production with heartiest zeal and correct delineation.
 She. in company with her father, a graduate physician, highly educated and refined man. but unfortunately addicted to strong drink, drifts out with the tide into the gold mining re- gions of the far west and devotes her time and energies to the reclamation of her father, and incidentally to pros- pecting for gold. She is eminently sue cessful in both. There Is pretty lit- tie love story interwoven with the plot which adds greatly to its interest. Fourteen cleverly drawn characters are required to present the play The comedy element is rare and sparkling and is furnished in unlimited quanti- ties by a funny Chinaman, a charac- teristic western judge and sheriff and a stormy, but good hearted Iirishman. The supporting company iss all that could be desired by the most exacting The scenery and appointments are abundant, and appropriate

HE ABUSED TAFT
 THEN LEFT TOWN
The Outcome of a Lively Political
 Controversy.

A rather unfortunate little incident occurred in Tempe day before yester- day. It was unfortunate in the fact that 1t showed that Tempe had within it's bounds a citizen who is hardly worthy of the name. It will hardly be necessary at the conclusion of this story to relate that this citizens is no longer a resident of this place. The incident illustrates the loyalty of the average Tempe citizen. however. and proves that the residents of this place are as full of patriotism and respect for the government as can be found anywhere.
 For some time past c. F. Taylor has been employed in Lohmann's bar Der shop. He has been rather a loud talking man on election matters and the day after Taft's election had been announced he was engaged in a pOlitl cal discussion with several gentlemen in front of the barber shop. MT Taylor's temper rather got the best of him and in a moment of anger he an nounced that he hoped Taft would be assassinated before the day of his inauguration, emphasizing his remarks with some rather profane language No sooner had the words left his mouth than a promiennt citizen stand ing close by slapped MT. Taylory squarely across the face. Feeling ran rather high for a time and MT Lohmann at once concluded that he could get along without MT. Taylor's services. Yesterday the gentleman gave notice that he had received an urgent call from California and he left last night. It is suspected that this call was from 2 closer quarter than California and was in the shape of an intimation that Tempe was not just the best place in the world for his health.
