The train left Mankato Jet. at about

GEORGE BROOKS DROWNED IN
SWAN LAKE
The Old Hermit Of Choke Cherr,
Island Drowned While Row.
Ing to his Hut From NicoIIet
Side Of Lake.

Word was received here that George
Brooks, we'll known resident of that
vicinity, was drowned in Swan Lake
Wednesday AFTERNOON. Very meager
particulars are known as to how the
accident occurred.
AS near as can be ascertained
Brooks had gone to Nicollet to mar
ket some eggs and after transacting
his business started to return to his
home, about a mile distant by water,
in a boat. A stiff wind was blowing
at the time, the waves rolled up very
high, causing his boat to caps1ze and
Brooks was thrown into the lake.
Parties on shore who had been watch
ing the boat saw the accident and
immediately went to his assistance.
The body was recovered and every
effort made to restore life, without
success.
Very little of Brooks history is
known. He was about 10 years of age,
and was born in England. He was a
married man, his wife dying some
years ago, however, of consumption.
Brooks has resided at Swan Lake
for the past fifteen years and was well
known to all hunters who have visited
that resort during that period. He
lived alone, making his home on an
island, known to old-timers as Choke
Cherry Island, but since his occupan.
cy has been renamed Brooksville.
The island was favorite resort for
hunters and a number of cottages
have been erected upon it by Mankato
sportsmen. Brooks looked after these,
cultivated a part of his land, raising
potatoes, corn and garden vegetables,
also kept a few chickens turkeys and
had two horses. He had no difficulty
in disposing of his produce to. hun
tiers during the season and managed
to gain a comfortable living in this
way.
The Swan Lake Hunters club Of
Mankato TOOK charge of the funeral
and the remains were buried on the
island IN accordance with Brooks
often expressed wish.
/ The club will also. erect q suitable
monument over his grave.
/ Brooks had no relatives in thii
country, but had one sister livins
whose home is in England.

VS.. John V. Lane, but attached to the
verdict a recommendation that the
respondent return the Plymouth Rodk
rooster, which he was charged by in
| dictment with stealing from Melvin
f. Sawtelle The Mock Trial. VIII .ch
was a really clever burlesque u.,on
actual court proceedings. furnished
| abundance of laughter and many
witty passages between counsel and
witnesses, which were greatly enjoyed
| by the good sized audience present.
| The rooster itself was present in a
coop on the stage and was handed
over to Mr.. Sawtelle with scant grace
| by the counsel for the defense when
the verdict was announced.
| The court officers were as follows:
Judge. Benedict F.. Maher: sheriff,
Stephen s. Lancaster: crier. Fred w.
Lee; clerk, William H. Fisher. Judge
] Harold f. Cook appeared as counsel

Peary, Samuel Titcomb; William P.
Frye, Charles Andrews.
NJ f. Sawtelle was the first witness
called by the prosecution and he testi-
fed to hearing q connection in his
henhouse and pursuing the respondent
to the ridsepole of the building. He
fired brick at a bag which the re-
spondent held in HIS hand and which
gave forth a SOUND like the noise
usually made by his rooster. The
respondent escaped while the witness
went into his ho,ase to get his gun.
Fred Rand testified to meeting the
respondent on Co rt street on the
night of July when the alleged theft
took place and declared that the

a bs which he carried over his back

on cross examination II he ran away
when the police raided the place and
he replied: Il didn't have to. knew
the police"
Stephen 6 Lancaster testified to
raid on Judge Stevens place. All
the spectators who were there at the
cock fight got away except Roy
Bodwell, and the scuttle was so small
he could not get through. He also
testified that Mr. Sawtelle told him
that his henhouse had been broken
into and he found upon investigation
that the hasp had been broken Off
and the door pried open.
The respondent, John Lane, admitted
being present at the rooster fight, but
said that the rooster which was one
he purchased of +. j. G. Little and
which answered to the name of Ma
homet' led him there. He admitted
saying that he would bet $40 that his
rooster would win, but referred to his
running qualities, not his fighting abili-
lty.
DR.. w. S. Thompson testified that
Mr. SaWtelle was monomaniac upon
the subject of ROSTERS and had fire.
quently accused different people of
stealing his rooster His expert medi-
cal testimony delivered in manner
of mock seriousness was one of the
most taking features of the trial and
contained number of local hits.
George w. Merrill gave his occupa-
ton as an insurance agent and then
left the witness stand lons enough to
distribute circulars Of his business to
ittry iasn le,
the court itself When he was finally
induced to return to the witness stand
he testified at some length in regard
Ito an alleged conspiracy between Rand
and Johnson to bring Postmaster Lane
before the court on account of a
fancied injury to Rand's character. f..
j. G. Little testified to selling the
| rooster in the case to Postmaster Lane
| and also brought out in his testimony
a number of facts regarding poultry
culture, which have hitherto escaped
the minds of the general public.
Col. Newton made an mpasSioned
appeal in behalf of his client dwelling
particularly upon the good looks of the
jury and the unblemished character
OF the respondent Judge Cook in his
argument for the State dwelt in con-
vlnclng manner upon the contradictory
statements of the witnesses for the de-
fence and presented a very logical
argument against the respondent that
was greeted with applause from the
audience when he had finished. Judge
Maher in his charge to the jury gave
some very peculiar rulings and threat
ened them with contempt if they dis
agreed.
Inc entertainment was given under
the auspices of the local Congregation
al Society and good sum was realized
for church purposes. Col Newton
VINO assists the local society in get
ting up the trial, is we'll known en-
tertainer and has appeared with this
entertainment number of times in
different parts of Maine.
