'JOE[;DARKS TEED;
YARN |SPEDDLEO
Mortified Newspaper Man Now
Said to Be Grooming For
The G0vernorship.
Report Circulated That He Has
Had Consultation With
St. Paul Cr0nies.

Minneapolis, Feb. lS.-Jocl p. Heat.
wolc of Northlield is reported trying tt
break into the republican gubernatoria
nomination race The news is given out
OH good authority in st. Paul, where
it is said Mr.. Heatwole mas been in
consultation with friends relative tC
the situation. There is possibility
that the former congressman may be
the dark horse candidate signifi-
cantly referred to by Robert C. Dunn
in his address before the Roosevelt
Harmony club meeting in st. Paul.
Would Be Senator Also.
The possibility of the Heatwole can
didacy is regardede as reasonable
one in view of the well known ambi-
tions which Mr.. Heatwole has long
entertained. There are two things
which the Mortified man has long
had in mind. one to be governor of
Minnesota and the other to be United
States senator. 1t is considered like
ly that he regards the opportunity
ripe to break into the gOvernorship
fight with view of making it a
stepping stone to the senatorship.
The probability of Mr.. Heatwole
being the Dunn clark horse" candidate
is emphasized by the~f fact that friendly
relationship has been re-established be-
tween Dunn and Heatwole and it is
well known that Mr.. HeatwOle, has
been extremely active in the pre-con
vention campaign thus far.
Said to Be Hostile to Young.
Another possible motive for Mr. Heat
wole's participation is reported hos
tility to Attorney General Young 1t
is understood that in conversation
with friends in st. Paul, Mr.. Heatwole
had spoken of the attorney general in
Il manner indicating that eordiality did
not exist between him and the occu-
pant of the attorney generals office.
Whether or not Mr.. Heatwole def
nitely enters the game as a candidate
there is no possibility of doubt, but
he is taking an active part in the
fight and will be factor in the re-
suit.

morning at the family residence, 800

hage of the brain. Three years ago

eral years past he was not active. He
was well and favorably known, and
like the other old settlers went through
all the privations and hardships of the
pioneer days: He was a good citizen,
neighbor and friend, and his death
will cause much sorrow.

on account of his health, and opened
an office over the National Citizens
bank, was taken suddenly and dan
gerously i'll yesterday afternoon in his
office. He had informed one of the
other tenants of the building that he
was not feeling well, and Attorney
c. o. Daley, having occasion to pass
his office little later, thought to
drop in Il minute and cheer him up.
He found DR.. Donnely unable to speak
and in state of complete collapse.
Physicians were summoned hastily and,
although at first it was thought that
he would not come out of his condi-
ton of stupor alive, yet the admin
istration of strong hyperdermic in
lection revived him, and he was taken
to st. Joseph's hospital He was UNI
conscious for some time after arriving
there, but today was reported much
improved.
DR.. Donnelly's brother. Attorney
Stan Donnelly of st. Paul was sum-
moned by telegraph, and with Sam.
uel Geltman arrived Oh the night
train.
DR.. Donnelly has been subject to
severe attacks of stomach trouble,
and could not stand the altitude of
Butte, Mont. He is a son of the late
Ignatious Donnelly called the sage of
nininger, who was one of the most
striking characters in the northwest

talent and oratorical ability. DR.. Don
nelly's wife died five years ago, but

MADMAN is AT LARGE
CRAZY FELLOW BROKE OUT OF
HOSPITAL YESTERDAY.
Stranger Answering His Dissertation
Seen In Maoksto This Morning;
Has Bad Reputation.
From Thursdays Daily.

From Thursdays Daily.
Somewhere between st. Peter and
the Twin Cities james Thomas, a
maniac, who escaped yesterday after
noon from the hospital for the insane
is roaming, terrorizing the citizens OF
that district. Every effort is being
made to effect his capture, as he is
considered by the officers to be a dan
gerOus man.
The police of the cities and intcrme-
date towns are creating a net which
covers the entire Minnesota valley. 1t
is thought that Thomas, cunning as he
is known to be, can squeeze through
this legal comb undctected.
Thomas bears checkercd reputa-
ton. He was committed to the Henne-
pin county Jail here last October on
the charge of attempted robbery. Late
in November he began to show signs
of mental unbalance, and finally at
tempted suicide in his cell. As result
he was examined and sent to the in
sane hospital as criminally insane. He
has been there since Dec. ).
Since his commitment to st. Peter
Sheriff Dreger has received informa
ton from prison authorities in Wash
ington and Idaho, that give some OF
the mans history. His right name is
said to be A. Z. Love- He served
a prison term at Walla Walia, Wash.
and two terms in the state prison at
Boise, Idaho, both for burglaries. He
escaped from the Boise pentitentiary
June 2G, 1906, and had been fugi-
tive up to the time of his arrest in
this city. His name on the Idaho rec
ords is 2. c. White, but he has gone
under various aliases so it is hard to
determine what his real name is.
Thomas or Love, is described as be-
ing five feet eight inches tall slightly
stopped shoulder. with shuffIing gait
that would be apt to make him no.
ticeabe. He wore full beard and
mustache, light blonde, while the
hair on his head was much darker
His eyes are shifty and his whole
makeup was not likely to inspire
confidence.
A stranger answering the above de-
scriptiOn was seen in Mankato this
morning.

STOCK UP WITH. GAME
EFFORT BEING MADE TO BRING
HUNGARIAN PARTRIDGE.
Joseph Ruerup Writes of Unde rts K :

From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Joseph Ruerup writes The Free Pres,
as follows:
Gone of our local hunting clubs
known as the Brooks Island Hunting
club, has sent for some Hungarian
cartridges. The money for same has
been taken from the clubs treasurer
/ This bird. it is said, will be the com.
| ing game bird of this country. While
it is not as large a bird as our prairie
chicken, it is more of gamey bird
and cannot be eXtermnated as quickly
as our prairie chicken. The meat OF
this bird eXcells that of the prairie
chicken. The partridge is more than
twice the size of our quail. In other
states and towns where there are more
genuine hunters and true sportsmen
| this bird was imported years ago. 1t
seems that this town has not enough
! of the right class of hunters. We
have enough or rather too many OF
what thorough sportsman would call
shooters or pot hunters, always ready
to 90 out killing and exterminating
game, but never at hand when it
comes to doing something either with
time or money, or for protection or III
creasing of game I'm some of the
states the state has taken hold of this
For instance, Illinois. DR.. John A
Wheeler, tn e state game warden

and received last year LOGO Hungarian
cartridges. Referring to same will say
| am very glad to say that we have
quite number of cOveys of young
birds we purchased last year and are
doing as well as they can. They are
certainly a fine game bird and / am
satisfied that they will be the coming
game bird of this country. We have
ordered this year 1000 more of the
same birds. The Hungarian part
ridges thrive mostly anywhere and are
extremely hardy and promo. They can
be highly recommended for sections OF
the country where severe winters are
experienced Coming from the high
lands of northern Hungaria they are
well accustomed to long cold and
snowy winters. There are but few
birds which so closely adhere to their
once selected abodes as the Hungarian
cartridges, even their offspring do not
wander away. As for sport in the field
these cartridges cannot be surpassed
They are more swift in fight than
our quail and will lie much closer to
cover, giving the dogs better chance
to range nose and hold. When flushed
these birds will fly like shot from a
shell and at different angles, hence
they remove the privilege of pot hunt
ers emptying both loads of lead into
the covey and killing half or more,
which is the easiest way of exter-
minating game. 1t requires a good
marksman under favorable conditions
to bag more than two of these swift
birds on the raise | hope that the
rest of our sportsmen will follow the
example of the Brooks Island Hunt
ing club"

Made Widow BY the Passing
Away Of Frsnk n. johnson.
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
The following from The Idaho
Statesman, published at Boise City,
Idaho concerns the death of the hus-
band of former MankatO young
lady, Miss Bernicc Ewing.
Frank ii. Johnson of Boise is dead.
Word of his death was received
yesterday i'll telegram from the
father of deceased. j. NJ. Johnson, to
Joseph Perrault, ST. exalted ruler of
the Elks. Death occurred at Monrovia
Cal, at three o'clock Monday after
noon, where Mr.. johnson was a patient
in Pottenger's sanitarium. Quick con-
sumption was the cause of death.
The telegram further stated that the
body would be buried at Red Bluff
Cal, the former home of the dead
man. No information was given as
to when interment would take place.
With him at the time of his death
were his father, his wife and his
grandmother, who visited him in Boise
about year ago.
Frank johnson was about twenty
nine years of age. He had lived in
Boise about fifteen years, coming here
from Mountainhome where he spent a
part of his boyhood days. About a
year ago. almost at the same time of
his marriage to Miss Bernice Ewing
of this city, he was taken sick. Some
months ago, with his wife and father
he went to California in the hope that
the change of climate would benefit
his health. Up to yesterday relatives
and friends in Boise held out strong
hopes for his recovery. Yesterday,
however. three letters were received
by relatives, the contents of which
told that he could not survive. Pleu-
risy had set i'm, it was stated, and it
was seen that death was matter of
only short time.
The deceased was very well known
Throughout this and other western
states through his extensive operations
in wool buying. He was regarded as
the most shrewd wool buyer and
trader who ever came to this section
and his business success tended to
prove this, for he made money fast.
He was very well known in Boise and
was very popular with many friends.
| He was member of the local Elks'
| lodge and of the Commercial club.
Mrs. Johnson will have the sympathy
of large number of Alankatonians
in her bereavement.
