Indiana Lands In Minnesota.


ST. Paul October 6.-The balloon In
diana landed near Albany, Stearns coun-
ty Minnesota, at 10 o'clock this morning.
]. H. Schauers shoulder was dislocated
In making the landing.
Albany is little town about rs miles
west of st. Cloud, and is over 50 miles
from st. Louis in an air line. The balloon
descended in field about three miles
south of Albany.
McGil, the pilot, was taken violently ill
early in the day. He was loath to give
up the flight, but his aide, J. H. Schauer,
insisted that they descend for medical
treatment. In falling the balloon dashed
into some tree tops and tore out section
of wire fence. Both men were thrown
out, but they had then approached SO
near the ground that their injuries were
not serious
Schauer had his shoulder dislocated and
McGil was joted and bruised. The bal
loon was damaged and was taken to St.
Cloud for shipment to the east.
McGil and Schauer are from Dayton,
o. They left ST. Louis in the balloon at
5:16 p. M. Monday. The Indiana carried
$4,000 cubic feet of gas and part of the
time sailed at an elevation of 5000 feet
the aeronauts said.
J. Fl. Schauer, aide in the balloon In
diana, arrived in St. Cloud this evening
and gave out the following statement:
"Our balloon was named the Indiana
No. 3. We left st. Louis Monday after
noon at 5:15 p. M, and have been in the
air ever since. Tuesday evening we as
cended to a distance of 1900 feet 1t
was so cold up there we were almost
frozen stiff. My pilot Mr.. McGll, was
sick when we left ST. Louis, and L did
not intend that he should go, but he in
sisted Last night he was a very sick
man, and had to rub him all night to
keep him from freezing | feared that he
would die UP in the clouds so lowered the
balloon as we were nearing Albany.
II am not very handy at that sort of
work, so the balloon struck a tree, tore
down a wire fence and we were both
thrown out. We landed in meadow and
l consider myself very fortunate in es-
Gaping with the bruises received. This
accident certainly was great disappoint-
ment to me as I was sure I would have
the prize If it had not happened"

raised and the matter took the same
course as during the Marshick testi-
mony. He said that the taking of
votes from carriage had been done
before at other elections.
The Sixth Ward.
H. G. Seeman, judge in the sixth
ward said that the three spoiled bal
lots in that ward, were ones returned
by voters and exchanged for new
ones. He was shown ballot marked
for Off, Kiefer, Henneman aand Low

lection to the telling of the names of
the men, for the reason that the two
challenged ballots had been introduce
ed in evidence and the telling of the
names would reveal how they had vot-
ed.
Thomas Dunn, the next witness tes-
tilted about the same as did Harring-
ton. He said that John Tumelty had
challenged one of the men. He was
not acquainted with Durkin and knew
one of the men who was challenged.
He was asked who it was, but the at
torneys again entered the objection
and Dunn was not required to tell the
name.

AS the two men went down the

prison. they were seen by two young
men employed at the gas works near

We're eating their dinner near the
works. One of the young men went
into the gas works and telephoned to
the warden's office, when the word
was at once passed about the institu-
ton and everything closed down.
n Armed with rifles and revolvers all
officers and guards who could be
spared started as soon as possible In
pursuit of the men. A little after 1
o'clock a posse sighted Dwyer on
Black Hawk Heights. Several shots
were fired in his direction to let him
know he was discovered, whereupon
he sat down and waited for his cap
tors to take him. On being question
ed as to the manner OF his escape, he'
refused absolutely to answer regard
Ing it and also refused to say any
thing about Hatch, where he had
gone or any information whatever.
The telephone was put into use at
once after the escape had been ascer-
tanned and all country people having
phones were told of the occurrence
and asked to keep a lookout for the
men, Autos were also at once engag-
ed and guards sent out in them In
several directions to try to obtain
trace of the fugitives.
At 4 o'clock Hatch was still at
large.

FIRST VOTE BY
The COUNCIL
Five Democratic Aldermen Voted For
the Most Unfair Proposition
Ever Heard Of In
Court.
THEY LOST THE POINT
"Judge" Brown Took . Fair Stand on
Delicate Question Which
Came up at Contest
Meeting.

Perhaps the contest for mayor will
come to close this evening before the
council, for all of the testimony is in
excepting one witness for the incum-
bent. That testimony is to be re-
ceived at the session this evening and
then the arguments will follow. Pro-
yiding the arguments do not prove too
lengthy. the case will go to the jury,
composed of the eleven aldermen this
evening, but it is likely that another
session will have to be held and the
case will not be finished until tomor
row evening.
The first time during the contest
that the council has voted on any mat
ter was last evening when five OF the
Democratic aldermen voted for the
most unfair proposition ever heard OF.
1t was only because alderman Brown
who presides over the council sitting
as court, refused to be unfair in the
matter that the question did not carry.
The question came up of witness
revealing how a man voted. When
Jerry Harrington was on the stand
and also Thos. Dunn, they would not
tell the names of the two men whose
votes were challenged in the second
ward, attorney for incumbant insist
| ing that they should not tell for the
reason that this would violate the sec
recy of the ballot, the two challeng-
ed ballots having been introduced in
evidence and therefore If the names
| were divulged, it would be seen how
| they voted.
1 But other witnesses said that they
knew how H. c. Landes and E. r.
Drake had voted in the third ward
incumbant's attorneys insisted that
they should reveal the result and even
went SO far as to appeal to the cour1
to order the men to tell how the tws
had voted.
i Alderman Brown as chairman stated
that in view of the action taken in the
1 preceding case, he would decide that
the witnesses did not have to tell.
Alderman Hickey then moved that
they be required to tell and violate the
secrecy of the ballot The question
was put to a vote. the roll being call
ed.
Aldermen Hickey, Keifer, McCor
mick, Swanson and Tigue voted aye
while the five Republican aldermen
and Alderman Brown voted nay, the
motion therefore being lost.
This action was taken twice by the
council, the matter coming up while
Mr.. Marshall was testifying. Both
times the vote was the same. ST,
aldermen voting for fairness and five
4 voting for unfairness.

minutes later the guards from the,

Many Witnesses.


Many witnesses were examined and
there was but little excitement except
ing the vote taken by the council. ex-
cepting in the case of ballot from
the sixth ward which appears to have
been marked by two different men,
part of it being crossed with firm lines
and part with shaky lines. This is
that ballot which was found on the
table after the recount had been made
and the envelopes sealed up.
j. A. Henneman was the first wit
ness. He told of seeing voters put bal
lots in the box in the first ward with
out handing them to the judges and
said that at times there was but one
judge present. He saw Mr.. Sawyer
hand two ballots to voters asking as
he did so ut this all right" Judge
Gray was present.
Robert Scherer saw the same thing
and also saw Mr.. Craig in the polling
place checking off book.
Ed. F. Kirchner said that he had
dropped his ballot in the box and
there was only one Judge at the table
when he voted
Thos. p Gray said that for a short
time he was the only Judge at the
table. He saw Sawyer pass out bal
lot and thought that or 4 votes had
been put in the box without being
first handed to the judges.
The Second Ward.
Jerry Harrington was Judge in
the second ward and testified that
there were two votes challenged.
Durken was not one of them. Both
ballots were voted and counted, but
afterwards he changed his mind and
said that he believed the two challeng.
ed votes had not been counted. Both
men who challenged took the oath re
quired by law. He knew who the two
challenged men WERE
When Harrington was asked who
the two men We're who were challeng
ed, the council for incumbent raised
a great howl of objection, stating tina,

cial must not reveal the secrecy of thu

present this evening and that a half
hour would complete his testimony.
The meeting then adjourned until
o'clock this evening.
There was quite crowd of specta-
tors present last evening.
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1909-05-19
The Third Ward.

L. e. Marshic,S, judge in the third
ward said that he was the only one of
the judges or clerks who went into a
booth to vote, the others marking
their ballots at the table. He said
that C. H. -Sandes and E. r. Drake
were not inside of the polling place
to vote. their ballots being brought
inside from the carriages.
G. e. Stultz told of going out to the
carriages and assisting Landes and
Drake to vote. He was asked if he
saw the ballots and said that he did
and knew how they were voted He
was asked how the ballots were mark
ed.
Attorneys for contestant objected to
his telling, raising the same objection
as the other side had offered when
Harrington was asked to answer a
question. The court was appealed to
and Alderman Brown decided that he
should not tell. Alderman Hickey
then made his motion which was lost
as noted before.
S. I. Marshall said that Landes had
marked his own ballot and he had
marked the one for Drake as per his
request. The votes were then given
to Stultz who brought them in to the
