Defendant Concluded ito Drop tn
Habeas Corpus Proceedings.
From fridays Daily.

Sheriff Donahue returned at 1890
a. m. today from Oregon City, Oregon,
bringing with him Harley Tackles, for
whom he had a bench warrant charg-
ing that he obtained money wrongful
ly from the Hubbard Milling company
on forged wheat check. The habeas
corpus proceeding that Tackles law
yers started were dropped on the adj
vice of the governor of Oregon. A lit
tie fight was made to get him not to
honor the requisition papers from Gov
ernor Eberhart, but he held that the
papers were regular and that there
was no reason to turn them down, and
told the lawyers that to carry on the
habeas corpus proceedings would merely
cause additional expense for Mr.. Dona
hue.
Tackles denies the charge against
him and will fight the case. He has
not yet retained an attorney in Man

ZIG TIME AT GOOD THUNDER
Celebration Was Attended BY Large
Number of People.

Good Thunder had big celebration
yesterday, and the royal bird screamed
enthusiastically and lost a few feath-
ers, incidentally. Several thousand peo-
pie came in from all directions, and
there was a hygera to the village from
all the adjoining townships. The
streets and buildings were magnificent
ly decorated, and everybody was in
good humor.
Senator S. d. Works of this city
was the orator of the day, and spoke
at eleven o'clock in the forenoon, Civ
ing a talk that was well received and
applauded
The afternoon program included a
ball game between the Mapleton and
Good Thunder teams, and the Sinclairs
of st. Paul were present and rendered
some Scotch musical selections and
dances in their inimitable way. They
were a strong feature of the program,
and helped to attract large attend
ance from Mapleton and Sterling, where
they, are well known, having attended
the Burns celebrations for some years.
Races, tugs of war, sports and con-
tests of various kinds were pulled off.
The principal part of the celebration
was held in grove, and the speak
ing took place there. The Rapidan
band furnished the music and showed
that is an efficient organization. -.
The bali game resulted in. a victory
FOR the home team, which brepghs iii
nine scores to two by the yisnors.
Mrs. George Sinclair, her daughter,
Miss May Sinclais and the two boys
nYere present..
A minstrel troupe from Chicago fur
nished forenoon and afternoon perform
aacas, and a magician from Minneapo-
lis amused the crowd all day. Returns
from the Johnson Jeffries fight were
received in bulletin form over the Man
lsato Citizens Telephone line.
There was dancing in the afternoon
and evening, at Bornecke's hall, the
Armstrong orchestra of Minnesota
Lake furnishing the Inspiration, and
the hall was crowded by the young
people.
Mhe celebration was undoubtedly, the
greatest ever held at Good Thunder,
ard much of the credit for this was
due to the excellent committee, Frank
Griffin and Ed. Ulrich. On a conserva-
tive estimate $500 people from outside
ofgiaie village were present, and there
was not an accident of any kind to
MARI the day. 80

Not With a Magazine.

"John Carter" whose prison verses
drew the attention of eastern and
western magazine editors, is not en-
gagged in literary work. He is in the
east holding down a salaried position,
but Judge John w. Willis of st. Paul,
who argued the young convict's case
before the pardon board, says that, far
from being literary, the job is very
piosaic. 1t is not with magazine,
with publishing house or with a
newspaper.
