Story That New Men Are to Control
Local Electric Light Concern.

Faribault Journal: H. NJ. Byllesby
& Co. of 2lS LaSalle street, Chicago,
who have recently acquired the plant
of the Faribault Gas & Electric COM
pany, annouce that they have also Sc
cured the Polar Star Electric company,
subject to legal examination.
1t is the intention of the new own
ers to close down both electric gem
Grating plants and supply the demand
of the city from water power proper
ty which they have recently acquired
at Cannon Falls. The work of develop
ing this power has already been start
ed and it is promised that same will
be rushed to completion and the power
brought in to Faribault next summer.
The policy of H. NJ. Byllesby & Co.,
with the public has always been one
of extreme liberality, and it is the in
tention of the new owners to make
power rates considerably below those
in force in the Twin Cities as an in
'ducement to secure manufacturing for
Faribault. No general increase i'll
rates will be made The management

mess can be done without resorting to
this.

moving the electrical machinery from

the plant of the Faribault Gas &
Electric company and installing new
gas making machinery. As Soon as
the weather permits in the spring, sew
eral miles of gas mains will be laid,
as it is believed this extension of the
plant will be necessary in order to
supply the growing wants of the COM
munity.
This company has also taken over
the electric plants at Mortified, Man.
kato, and Saltwater.
1t is hoped that something definite
relative to the sale of the Mankato
gas and electric plant will be given
out in a few days.

Brother of John Kummerow of Man
kato Dies Suddenly.

FROM fTluayS Daily.
Wells Forum: As the news of the
death of William Kummerow was cir
culated about town last Sunday morn
ing it seemed almost Incredible. Many
had seen him at his post at Mr..
Klawisch's wood and coal yard during
the week and none had heard of his be-
ing sick and the report of his death
was great surprise and profound
shock to his friends and neighbors.
William Kummerow was born at May
vile, Dodge county, Wisconsin, in 1852,
and spent the first ten years of his
life there. In 1862 he came to Wells
and has since been q continuous resi-
dent here until his death last Satur-
day evening about ten o'clock He was
married to Miss Anna Klingbeil of Min
children was the issue from their mar
riage, one of their children, daugh-
ter, dying in infancy, leaving them only
one son, Alfred, who is now about
twenty three years of age and is en-
ployed as bookkeeper by st. Paul
concern. Besides a sorrowing wife the
deceased leaves to mourn his departure
his stepmother, Mrs. Marie Kummerow
of Cambridge, Maryland, and six sisters
and three brothers, namely, Mrs. Fred
ericke Barnick of Sanborn, n. d., Mrs.
Malta Schinke of Enid oklahoma; Mrs.
Mary Priesewitz of Baltimore, Mary
land; Mrs. Bertha Kluge of Lamberton,
Mimi; Mrs. Rosa Arna of Cambridge,
Maryland, and Miss Clara Kummerow
of Washington, ID. C. The brothers are
Fred Kummerow of Enid, Oklahoma;
Herman of Lamberton and John of
Mankato. Mr.. Kummerow was for many
years employed in the wagon making
and wood working trade and lately has
been employed in j. A. Klawisch's wood
yard. He was an active member of the
fire department for eighteen years, he
resigned as active member on July 7,
1905, and has since been an honorary
member of the department. He was
also member of the local lodge of the
Sons of Herman. Mr.. Kummerow was
of a quiet, unassuming disposition and
it is not likely that he had an enemy
in the whole world. He was kind
husband and father and most valued
citizen. The funeral service was con-
Quoted from the house at one o'clock
Thursday afternoon and at l:30 from
the German Lutheran church of which
the deceased was member. Rev.
William Ganschow conducted the serv-
ice. Interment was made in Rosehill
cemetery.

More Affidavits Sought in the Case Of
Frank Smith.

From Fridays Daily.
Frank Smith was brought into court
this afternoon his attorney, Arthur
Schaub noticed a motion for a new
trial. Mr.. Schaub desired until Tues
day morning to file additional affida-
Wits from those published yesterday,
and County Attorney Plymat wanted
more time to prepare counter affidavits,
saying that he would like two weeks,
as he would have to get one from the
warden of the prison at Chester, ILL.,,
who might be away, and would have
to get others from distance
After some discussion, it was decided
to adjourn the hearing until JAN %
at 2 p. m, by which time everything
is expected to be ready for the argu-
ments.
At the call of the jury cases yester-
day afternoon, it was found that thir-
ty-three are still for trial, and they
will be taken up Monday and the trials
pushed. The suit of William j. Evans
VS.. Enoch Price is the first case, and
VIII SoiLic OlL -uoHuda dC = u. H., do
which hour the petit jury is to return.
County Attorney Plymat stated that
the case of Mr.. and Mrs. w. l..
Schwandt would not come on for trial
Monday. Further than that he declines
to make any statement. 1t is presumed
from this that the case will not be
for trial at this term.
Andrew Lundberg, who acted as one
of the bailiffs during the trial of Smith
swears to an affidavit that he did not
make the statement to Attorney Laur-
isch that Attorney w. r. Geddes was
in one of the closets with juror Bixby
also that the door to the closet was not
closed at any time during the occu-
pancy of the closet by Geddes and Blk
by; also that Geddes stepped from the
closet as soon as BiXby entered, and
that nothing was said by either man
except to pass the time of day.

From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
81 The Mankato Firemen's Relief as
ISOLATION held its quarterly meeting
last night and the most important mat
ter acted upon was an amendment to
the bylaws, so as to come under the
law which allows pensions to be paid
to disabled fremen and the widows
and orphans of firemen who have lost
their lives while in the performance
of their duties. The amendment pro-
vides thrat firemen who are disabled
while attending to their duties as such
shall receive from So to $50 month,
according to the extent of their dis
ability. If fireman is killed or does
of injuries, his widow is to receive
$l2 month as hong as she remains
single, and is to receive So month for
each child until the latter becomes six
teen years of age.
Party Injured Must Be Examined.
In order to protect the association
it is required that the party injured
be examined by the associations ex-
amining surgeon within twenty-four
hours. There are other provisions to
protect the association. The latter has
$4,000 in its treasury, and the law
allows city councils to levy one-tenth
of a mill to raise funds to carry out
the pension plan. The trustees elect
the examining surgeon.
The amendment was adopted unani-
mously. Little other business was tran
saeted. The meeting was we'll attended.

Scarcity of Coal Causes Mankato Flour
Factory to Cease Operations.

From Saturdays Daily.
The big mill was closed today be-
cause of scarcity of coal. 1t was not
entirely out, but did not want to get
out, so banked the fires and stopped
the machinery. Repairs are being made,
and the mill will start again the first
of the week.
The city is little short of coal
having only supplies from one day to
another. 1t does not seem to have suf-
ficient bin room, and cannot store much
ahead, so whenever there is little
interruption in the delivery it finds it.
