A DANGEROUS PLUNGE
Rotten Boards of a Cesspool give
way and Young Man drops i'm
to Depth.
Rescued by Neighbors.

An accident through which human
life might have been wiped out of ex-
istence occurred last Saturday NOR
ming on the vacant lot in the rear of
Mrs. Follmann's millinery store on
End North street. In the good old
days of Pioneer life when the water
works were not in existence people got
their supply of water from wells and
it was just such we'll that was sunk
on that lot and after twas supplanted
by the water works it was discarded
and for many years used as cess
pool. Not being of any particular
use in this capacity it was covered up
some years ago with layer ct boards
and these again we're gradually COW
cred with a crust of sand and dirt,
hiding as it were the boards from
view in such a complete manner that
the existence of this dangerous place
was lost entirely sight of. Moisture
and time set in to do their destructive
work to the boards and as Martin
Eyerich happened to walk over these
rotten boards, unawares of the dan
ger beneath him, they gave way and
he sank into the cesspool, apparently
in great danger of losing his life.
Fortunately Mrs. Follmann heard his
cries for help at the time he broke
through the boards and running to
his assistance arrived just in time to
grasp his hand when he came up for
the first time and to hold him until
men from the neighborhood safely
pulled him out. We understand Mr..
Eyerich is not injured bodily but is
minus a good suit OF clothes and a
valuable pair of eyeglasses. His
clothing, as might be expected is
spoiled and ruined. The lot on which
this occurred is owned by Mr.. Geo.
Doehne and Mr.. Eyerich is employed
as assistant editor on the Journal.
The Review concurs in the general
consesus and heartily joins in the
prevailing opinion that such condi.
tions as were found on that lot-a well
with a frail and rotten cover, the lo1
not fenced in and close to a public
streets, to say the least, negli
gence and carelessness, that invite.
criticism. We understand there ar,
few more wells of the same nature an(
in the same condition in differen
parts of the city and it would be vel
to heed the warning and avoid al
danger that might arise from the ex
istence of such wells.

The COMING COUNTY FAIR
Stockbreeders and Officers OF
County Agricultural Society
enter into Agreement.
Enthusiasts Meeting.

Last Thursday a committee of the
Brown county Live Stock Breeders
Association and President Crone with
other officers of the Brown county Ag-
ricultural society held a very inter-
esting meeting in this city and the re-
suit of the proceedings is, indeed, very
gratifying. There was only one sem
timent prevailing throughout the en-
tire discussion: That the interests of
both the stock breeders and the fair
association are mutual and that with
united efforts and hearty co-opera-
ton on both sides the next county fair
can be made the greatest success, by
far of any other fair ever held in
Brown county. The proposition of
the Stock Breeders to make large
exhibit Of pure-bred cattle, hogs,
sheep and poultry at the next county
fair was fully discussed and accepted
by the Agricultural Society. It is the
intention of the Stock Breeders to
lead a car with stock and other pro-
ducts from the farms of Springfield,
one from Sleepy Eye and one from
Hanska, bring these exhibits here and
shelter them under mammoth tent.
The tent to be furnished by the County
Agricultural Society. Aside from
these carloads there may also be
single exhibits. An auction sale under
the tent OF the pure-bred stock will be
held and nothing but standard stock
will be offered for sale.
A new exhibition hall, much larger
than the one destroyed: will be build.
If all these arrangements which were
agreed upon at this meeting are car
rie6 out the Coming fair in September
promises to be the greatest of its kind
in Southern Minnesota.

sisted of President L. E. Potter OF

GUILTY OF BATTERY ONLY
Mrs. Kaufman Pays Fine Of 500
and is Free.
Wealthy Woman is Acquitted by
Jury in Famous Murder Case.

The notorious trial of Mrs. Kauf.
mann, the wife Of the wealthy Sioux
Falls Brewer came to close last
week at Flandreau, S. D. This trial
has attracted wide spread interest and
the result closes one of the most no
torious cases in the Northwest.
Mrs. Kaufman was accused of the
murder of Agnes Polreis. The Jury
after having deliberated one whole
night returned verdict and found hel
guilty of battery only. The fine Of
500 was paid Immediately and Mrs
Kaufman was released.
Mrs. Kaufman vas first arrested
three years ago following the exhum.
ing of the body of the Polreis girl,
upon whose body were found numer.
Gus cuts and bruises, which, physi.
clans declared, had caused her death
and which Mrs. Kaufman was &C.
cused of having inflicted. The defense
undertook to prove that the wounds
were the result of diabetes. The first
trial resulted in a disagreement and
the second in conviction in the second
degree for manslaughter. This deci.
sion was reversed, however, and a new
trial was ordered.
Most of the testimony at the trial
just finished was expert, doctors being
called upon to tell of the strange dis.
ease, of which the defense claimed the
girl was victim. DR.. Arthur Sweeny
of St. Paul, was one of the witnesse.
this week.

The second act of the New Ulm rob
berry drama is finished, the curtain has
dropped and the spectators can now

tunity to be sentenced to the peniten-
tiary at once.

A Splendid Tribute.

W. D. McEwen, who was overwhelm-
ingly reelected secretary treasurer of
the State Federation of Labor yester-
day in spite of his own reluctance to
accept reelection, may well feel proud
of this marked testimonial of conf
dence and esteem. Duluth, as the
home Of this labor leader who has
worked so faithfully for his fellow
craftsmen, also appreciates the honor
thus bestowed upon one of it's citizens.
The fact that his election was followed
by fifteen minutes of applause, and
that the organization which had done
him this honor further showed its es-
TEEN by presenting him with a hand
some watch, shows how heartfelt was
this well-deserved tribute. Duluth

OFF WEST COAST OF AFRICA
FLYING U. S. FLAG.
Portuguese Government Takes Craft
in Charge-Had Made
Rich Haul.

4 bold buccaneer craft flying the United
States flag mas been seized by the Portu-
guese government officers off the west
coast of Africa and is now on the way to
Loanda, where there is a prison. 1t is
alleged that the captain and his crew.
consisting of but one man, made a rich
haul of diamonds in German colony in
Africa.
The story of the capture was briefly told
in a dispatch to the State Department
from Mr.. Bryan. United States minister
at Lisbon. 1t appears that the coast
patrol of the Portuguese colonial govern
ment discovered a fast launch flying the
American flag and Intercepted it for the
purpose of examining its papers. It's
master could produce none, and he and
his companion were placed under arrest
The seizure was made just outside the
harbor of Quissanga. Angola.
The State Department does not know
under what authority the arrest was
made, nor whether the prisoners are

launch at the time when il was boarded
was within the consular jurisdiction OF
