A man giving the name of Fred Mil
Ter was arrested yesterday afternoon
on the charge Of drunkenness. He
is also accused of having gone some

"a farmer and lived near. Eagle Lake,
and that he had team in "a, barn.

This morning the man told a different

hand when he got jobs. He pleaded
guilty to drunkenness and was SEN
fenced to pay fine of $40 and costs
or to be committed to the. county Jail
for ten days at hard labor. He was
committed.
1t appears that Brooks yesterday
went to j. A. Lewis & Sons hardware
store and bought door lock, saying
that he was working for George Atchi-
son, and that the lock should be charg-
ed to him. This was done, and then
Brooks went to Moore & Tobin's store

that he had bought it there, and said
that it was too large. He was given
another of the same make and 25
cents in change. Before he left this
store it is said that he stole the steel.

THEY LOOK FOR RELIEF
RlvER IMPROVEMENT LEAGUE
WANT LEGISLATION.
Meeting at Henderson Yesterday
Takes on Pssc,iesi Way Of
Rsaen.ns Beat Result.
From Tuesda vs. paily

From Tuesdays Daily ISL.
A largely attended meeting was held
at Henderson yesterday of the Mime
sofa river Improvement league About
sevenay five delegates swere in atten-
dance, representing most of the thir-
ty- four counties which il is sought to
enlist in the movement carried on by
the league. f. w. I-assow of North
Mankato WAS the only representative
from this locality
The meeting was more practical in
its work than any yet held, and the
league bids fair to accomplish some.
thing tangible because Of the way it
is now going at the, matter. 1t was
decided to send circulars to all, persons
whose land has been damaged by the
overflow Of the river, and have them
state what their loss is and to present
this information at the next session of
the legislature. 1T is sought in this
and other ways To influence state and
national Legislation for the improvement
Of the rever and TO secure the REIN
bursement of those who has sustained
loss.
Tax Those Benefited.
A proposition that was presented
and met with general favor was to
secure the passage of an act by the
legislature, lavying an assessment or
tax upon the land that is reclaimed by
county bitches, to reimburse the owners
of land that has been overlooked by the
high water, as the league attributes
the freshets of this year and the
past two or three years to the extra
water drained into the river from
the county bitches.
1t is also proposed to work to secure
the improvement of the river to the
extent that it shall be made navigable,
so that freight boats can ascend the
stream.
Meet at New Ulm Next.
1t was decided to hold the next meet
ing at New Ulm Sept. 90, and month
later to meet at Shakopee, and pro-
baby hold the following meeting in
Mankato. It. is hoped to get a special
train to New Ulm, SO that the delegates
can go and return at the most con-
venient honr, with the expectation that
there viii be q larger attendance.
The league will carry on an active
campaign until desired; legislation is
secured. ~, ftt

think of the variety and miscellany
