Independents Defeat Herman

Last Sunday on the local diamond
the Independents defeated the Her.
man ball team in a game which at
times was very fast but at others was
marked by errors.
Things started bad for the Indepen-
dents as the first two men to face
Lord made the circuit, but to show
that they we're still in the game the
locals repeated the stunt by punching
their hits on Linden.
Herman was not able to score again
until the 9th, when a hit and two
errors gave them one more, but from
then on they were out of the running.
Morris scored one in the 3rd, three
in the 5th, one in the 7th, and then to
make it a sure thing they annexed
three more in the 9Th.
Herman several times had second
and third covered, but Lord was get
ting good support and they could not
hit him safely.
The Independents pulled of several
pretty doubles, and were able to hit
the ball when hits were needed. So
much SO that the hook was applied to
Sindem, in the 18th, and Herman's old
standby, Dahlman, took his place but
he was not able to stop it and four
scores were made off him.

A Pretty Home Wedding.

home weddings ever witnessed in this
locality took place last Sunday at the
home of the BRIDES parents, when
Edward Olson and Miss Lottie Brant

of matrimony, Rev. Torvik perform
ing the ceremony. The parlor was
beautifully decorated for the heaecasion.
The bride and groom took their place
at 8 O'Clock before a chancel rail of

large bridal bell suspended from an
arch. Mrs. Lund of st. Paul, a sister

CHARGED WITH MURDER
VIM. Schwandt, Formerly En-
ployed as Clerk Here.

William Schwandt, who is under ar
rest in Mankato as the alleged ac-
cessory in the murder of II. j. Led
better, is supposed to be the man of
the same name who was clerk in
the Farmers Store here a couple of
years ago, and left year ago last
March. The description corresponds
in that both were married last Octo-
Der, and both are in the store business
at Sanborn, MINI.
The murder with which Schwandt is
charged with being connected pro-
misses to be one of the strangest cases
who has occurred in this state. The
principals in the story are Ledbeter
and his wife, Schwandt and his wife,
and a farm hand named Smith.
Ledbeter disappeared from his farm
about four miles from Mankato on
May 4th. Search was ostensibly made
for him, bnt without results. Finally
last week, his brother came to Man
kato from Wisconsin, determined to
make a thoro search of the farm.
With 200 rat spears and as many
men, the farm was thoroly probed,
and on Sunday the deconposed body
of the man was found buried three
feet deep in potato field. Investi-
CATION showed that his head had been
crushed.
Schwandt's connection with the case
is that he has been running an un-
successful store at Sanborn for Leg
better. The latter sent his sister-in-
law to Sanborn last fall to keep tab on
Schwandt, and Schwandt married her.
Schwandt was not present at the
murder, but is accused by Smith with
having helped bury Ledbeter in the
potato field. Smith accuses the wife
of the murder, which she denies.
