lists. IA large chorus, funny end men
with bones, tambOs, white suits and
wooden solcd shoes-everything that
popularizcs the big minstrel show ami

was hOme-talcnt production, the
Eagles MINISTRIES kept large audience
in an uproar for two solid hours last
night at the Nlankato Theatre.
The performance will be repeated TO
night and the big measure of fun and
enjoyment it furnished last night,
should assure another big audience
tonight. 1t is one of the best local
talent productions ever put on in
MankatO, and congratulations are due
to the local Eagles and Mr.. Arthur
White who directed the performance
and contributed large share to the
enjoyment last night. John Z. Regain
scored some good hits and added to
lis laurels as an entertainer.
The olio is strong and well bal
anced. the acts being excellent every
one. This part of the performance was
q surprise in its revelation of what
Mankato can Go in supplying real tai
ent of this kind.
The program was carried out as pub
lishcd. Everything passed off smoothly
and the audience was not subjected
t. annoying waits.
The Eagles are like Buffalo Bill.
They have show.

The fellow is a large man of about

where he came from no one knows. He
had been seen loaling about the sa
looms at Welcome during the day.

Asphalt Filler Is. Injurious.
Mr. Fielding states that the asphalt

raises tncm to such Il high tempera

and they chip much more easily. The
asphalt also goes to pieces when the
oil evaporates. and leaves nothing be

The officials of Martin county slls
pect that the man who is locked up at
fairmont on the charge of having at
tempted to assault Mrs. Earl Welcome,
a school teacher, Friday afternoon, near
Welcome, and who gave the name of
Smith, is Albert Annis of Vernon Cen
ter. Sheriff Ward, in making a search
of the man. found letter addressed
to Albert Annis, and signed by w. A.
Plymat, and mailed recently from this
city The letter warns Annis that un-
less he ceased carrying concealed wcap-
ons he would be prosecuted.
Plymat Wrote Letter to Annis.
Sheriff Ward communicated with
Sheriff Donahue about the matter, and
the latter learned from County At
torney Plymat that he had sent such
a letter to Annis recently, following a
complaint from Vernon Center, where
some trouble occurred between Annis
and another man, during which it is
alleged that Annis drew IL revolver.
1t is said that Annis has served
three terms in Saltwater for crimes OF
similar anturc as that which he at
tempted near Welcome. the last time
being sentenced by Judge Severance to
serve twenty-six and a half years. 1t
appears that the man was paroled some
time ago. If it should turn out that
he and Smith are identical it should
and probably will go hard with him, if
convicted.
He Is AnniS.
Information was received late this
afternoon from Fairmont that Smith
and Annis are one and the same. He
was positively identified by a resident
of FairmOnt as Anns Smith, alias
Alnis will be given hearing next
